The weapon drops/upgrades should be untradeable and be a sort of a trophy weapon. That's way rich people wont be OP so much.

Edit: Tradable scales should be fine.
(Spike)Should have a poison inflicting bonus where when wearing a kraken whip, poison damage will hit 20's on monsters/ not in pvp.
Slayer req would be good too.
Having a quick tele there would be nice also.

Rewards look very OP and graphically the theme/style is very bad/un-salvageable. I will vote no, If you want to make it a high level slayer boss and add the blowpipe/poison weapon poison then fair enough. I HATE the fang defender thing. Please just giver us a dragon defender through the warriors guild like I have seen many people ask for! Very dissapointed and I hope this doesn't pass.

Go back to comission staking, leave PvM to the big boys.


That's cute. I don't host any for of gambling at all. The name refers to Host Bart (Geel) getting 200m all skills and I hosted a few Gilded altars. Also I do a lot of slayer in 07 and know what I'm talking about. Clearly, unlike you.

Looking forward to this boss as long as it's as challenging as you guys say, we need harder boss on OSRS, most of OSRS you just pray, click attack and thats it! Hopefully you will need to move around, chane over-head prays, attack with range and meele (maybe even freezing it with ancient magicks since the only thing ancients magicks are used for is for PKing).

I'm totally for this boss and the art for the snake boss looks amazing so far.
A solo boss is a great idea, however I think:

1) The wieldable drops should be untradeable so you actually have a good reason to try out the boss besides making money.

2) The items shown in the devblog should be reworked somewhat because (this might just be my opinion) they don't look very appealing to me.

3) Like other people said a slayer requierment would be nice so you have an even better reason to train slayer.

Compared our stats and I agree, you do a lot more slayer and you know a lot more about PvM. I'll sit down big papa.

1- No, I'll be camping the boss and I want to make money there, I'll happily sell the items to anyone but why would I camp the boss for items that don't interest me - especially when I'll end up getting tons of each one.
2- Agreed.
3- Slayer is getting a big update soon, so IMO no.

Agreed, this boss could have amazing mechanics making it more enjoyable than any boss on 07 (I've afked corp for 30-60 seconds before, gone to get a drink and come back alive - still haven't died there :p ). Also support for any solo bosses - there are no big solo bosses atm.

I see a lot of ppl asking for the slayer requirement and i think that's plain stupid. Boss killing and slayer are two different things and they should stay that way and i think i speak for all the PvMers out there who just dont like slayer. I've been doing a lot of Bossing and, since im maxed combat already, i dont see the point of doing months of slayer just so i could kill a boss

This isn't the place to argue. I don't know why you are so upset; You thought I was a gambling host and immediatly decided to be rude > I told you I wasn't and that you shouldn't be so ignorant and assume > you are rude again. It's unnecessary and a stereotype of Runescape players that I don't want to perpetuate.

Suggestion to appeal to "OldSchool Junkies":

Rewards that aren't top tier combat equipment; degradable or not.

If *everyone* wants the new weapons, our favourite oldschool gear becomes obsolete..

I'll vote yes on boss, no on new tier.

EDIT: that art totally looks like... nevermind lol

Godswords, Kraken Tentacle, SoTD & Saradomin's Tear are all level 75. Range has nothing @ 75 to boot.

It's not a 'new' tier if there's already 7 weapons that are @ the same level....
