Looking forward to dragon bone prices dropping when people can camp at lava dragons all day to get the 255 prayer exp per kill, as well as the regular combat exp.

I imagine that'll be another area in the game where people have a "gentleman's agreement" not to kill or otherwise disrupt eachother.

Lava Dragons
There has been a suggestion to replace the red dragons with lava dragons in the Wilderness. Lava dragons will have a combat level of 252 and will drop the dragon visage. There will be a slight increase in the xp you get from lava dragon’s bones, you will get 85xp for burying them. In addition, if you bury the lava dragon's bones in the Lava Dragon Isle, you will get 3 times the amount of XP you normally do.

Question: Should we replace red dragons with lava dragons in the Wilderness?
Question: If lava dragons enter the Wilderness, should you be able to get three times the amount of XP if you bury their bones in the Lava Dragon Isle?

Yes and yes :D ! alot of players will camp those dragons , they will be easy target for pkers but they will also get alot of xp training there.

I think Xp rate should be raised just a little bit by killing those dragons... like instead of getting 4.5xp per 1 damage you would get 5 xp , that would cause alot of players goin to train up there with getting decent pray xp / or banking the bones..

The new dragons are cb 250 or whatever it said, they aren't exactly going to be quick to kill or quick prayer xp vs just buying d bones to use at an altar. I don't think this update will affect d bone prices hardly at all. If you can bury on the spot then no point in bringing them back to sell so they won't push d bones down in that sense either.

The second part you mentioned would be nice, but remember the whole point of this update is to bring more pk'ers into the wildy so don't expect much mercy or anything gentlemany, especially at the new resource points like this one. The wildy has never been a forgiving place anyway even before this update, so go in at your own risk.

add a few more single obstacles that give xp and short cuts to areas only people with required stats have..
I really like this idea. The ability to escape an attacker if you have the required items/skills would be a really clever mechanic to have now that you are trying to attract skillers into the wilderness.

Currently, and I only found this out because In Wild Only was using this technique when I visited him before, you can use a lockpick to get into the pirate house and due to the aggressiveness of the pirates in there, you will be safe from attackers even if they can get in. Really clever use of the game's mechanics and I think there should be more such places spread around various places in the wilderness.

Adding more basic amenities to allow someone to play solely in the wilderness would be cool too. (see quoted post for more)
Cabbage? CABBAGE!

The Dark bow only required 60 ranged to use and was a drop from a lvl 90 slayer monster. So why not even the playing field with a Dragon staff! This could be dropped from the Kraken monster.

-
Dragon staff
: This staff allows an infinite amount of air and fire runes to be used.
-
Special attack
: Allows you to double hit with the spell you are using and increases the max hit of the spell you are using by 50 % and uses 60 % special attack bar.
-Examples: the fire blast hits a max of 16, the special attack would allow you to hit 24 twice!

The special attack only works with the elemental spells.

The lowest level pure could be 32 just like the lvl 32 d bowers with 10 hp! But lets face it, this dragon staff could be more powerful down the road just like the dark bow!
And here's how: with the formula i made for the damage that the special attack could do, depends on the 4 basic spells you can use, earth, water, fire, and air.

So later on when you get 75 magic for fire wave, your max hit is 20 and with the special attack, your new special attack max hit would be a possible 30-30.

Even farther down the road, if Jagex decides to add surge spells back into the game. The fire surge can hit 30s with no special magical staff damage boosts or potions or prayers. The dragon staff would allow the special attack to be a whopping possible 45-45!

I think the Lava dragons idea is awesome being able to bury bones for 3x the xp but to make it attractive to pkers to kill campers i personally thing that if you enter the Lava Dragon Isle you automatically become skulled.

I'm not sure what you are thinking, 2 of the things I am looking forward too most you buff but its such a tiny buff they are still worthless.

New magic staff still nearly worthless as is Lava dragons. Slayer Dart with staff of the dead can hit pretty much same as this new staff for even cheaper.

Why would anyone go and kill Lava dragons that are up at level 40 something wild and are 5x as hard to kill as green drags yet their bones only give a tiny boost over reg dragon bones. The boost for burying there is smaller than using on a gilded altar, why would people risk dying and losing their bones and time to get less exp burying at lava dragons than on gild altar?

How to actually make them worthwhile yet not too OP.

A. Give Lava dragon bones a regular bury exp of 120-180. When buried at Lava dragon place give a 4.5X boost.

B. New staff Max hit at lvl 75 mage is fine at 17 but should have a must faster increase rate. At level 99 max should be around 35-45. If it is pvm only 45 isn't op, melee and range still out hit it easily with black mask on slayer tasks. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

The change to +24 mage def on range shield is better. But +12 range att is far too much, the Chaotic Eagle Eye Kite was only +4 before eoc. It will undermine the zamorak book completely, everyone will just use these range/mage obby shields and rune defender. Gf everyone who spent 2-2.5m on zam book.

LOL complaining about a level 60 shield being better than a 1 def prayer book? The shield should be better, pures shouldn't be getting best equipment for any slot. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max
