Here are some names for said snake:

Ruthka, the Malignant

-Coethis, the Calamity

Queztl, the Atrocity

I think the three items balance each other out, and are great additions to the game.

No new weapons like since Mid-October of LAST YEAR since Staff of the Dead (Polled Sept 2013) and Arma Crossbow (Also Polled Sept. 2013) was released. You also have Trident of the Seas and Kraken tentacle.(polled 22 Jan, 2014)

Yes you have Spirit shields, which aren't weaponry. (Polled in September 2014) Plus the Dragon Spike (aka Dragon defender) failed polls, which I felt was a needed addition to OS. The Venomous Spike is a great substitute

To complain about new weapons coming into the game too fast is absurd. It will have been almost a YEAR in January, I think it is time for something new.

Venomous poison is a new mechanic which HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE on Runescape. I love the idea of the venom and anti-venom. It makes perfect sense for the boss.

As for the location, it works. The poison waste swamp in the Elf lands fits it perfectly. Please please, make the drops rarer than you did Amulet of the Damned (which was a huge disappointment) I would not settle for less than 1/512-1/1k drop rate for the blowpipe, and 1/256-1/512 for the Venomous Spike and Fang. I also suggest the snake drop bones, that can be crafted into these weaponry (reqs. 90-95 Crafting, snake scales, and Snake Carcass/Bones, and snake venom)

There is also a Rancorous Cloak suggestion on Reddit which works perfectly.

@poll

Co*this sounds like an awesome name!

Feedback for jagex:

Make the blowpipe Faster than msb on rapid but slower than darts. Is this possible?

Make the staff attachment work on sotd OR ahrims staff! :D sotd is not that popular, hence the reward won't be either.

Awesome stuff jagex! Love this idea!

For the Venomous spike why not add the dragon defender to warror's guild and use the scales you get as a drop on the dragon defender to make a Venomous spike? maybe a 60 or 70 smithing req to make? and do someting similar to the other drops?

there are a few things this update will effect. The amount of overall damage added to Pvp, and Pvm, the use of current supplies (Herbs, Seconds, Cost to fight the boss, ext.) And much more in between. I believe new content has and will continue to be great thanks to content polls. Although I strongly disagree with this, I'll be interested in seeing the outcome. The only thing i see coming from this is "Poisoning" the game.

Any of you guys asking for items that are in RS3 should stop playing old school and go play RS3. Stop trying to bring overpowered and unneeded weapons/equipment into OSRS and ruin the game for everyone else. It will never pass the 75% req so either suck it up and quit complaining or go play EOC.

The venom fang would be too op if every spell have a chance of poisoning target just imagine vsing someone on ancient magic. You should make a new spell for the standard spell book call "poison fang" to cast the spell you would need a Serpent Staff,1x boold,1x death and 5x body rune to cast it.

Why cant we use the venomous fang on a z spear to make a Serpent spear or maybe a dragon spear also give it a new special atk?

Will the serpent staff have a special attack maybe make it use 75% spec bar and the atk would instantly poison are repoison the enemy?
