Don't know if anybody's suggested this yet, but what about some sort of item that would allow you to actually poison BOSSES.

Like the venomous weapons could be used to apply normal poison to bosses. Or a different item completely that just lets you poison bosses.

I always hate in games how you unlock cool attacks/spells/whatever but then you can't use them on bosses where they would be the most useful.

Also, I like the helm idea; I think I like the fang for magic staffs idea; not too sure about the blowgun.

And it seems like the only real use of the venomous poison will be in pvp. Maybe rework it so it has some use in pvm as well.

Lets say you get a blow dart drop, maybe you could dismantle it for an item that you could trade in to an NPC in the beasts lair for a lump sum of gold or something else valuable.

People fail to realize that new content has a large effect on our economy if it's not done the right way. It's not all about your beloved "Cash stack"

And here´s the problem... trade for coins? Great way to inflate.
For skilling supplies? Rather not, skilling is not to profitable already.
What then?
Unless you find good alternative things, going with tradeable new items is the easiest way. Making them untradeable creates more problems than it solves.

Edit: I agree with a few other people. The damage on the poison should be capped. John C said that most fights only last about a couple minutes, but what about PvM? Imagine how that could be used to abuse monsters that have higher hp, rewarding drops, and an annoying safespot that players could use to let the venom; theoretically do all of the damage to the monster they're trying to kill. That to me seems very unbalanced. Make the damage cap..Imagine fighting Jad for example, hit him once and secure the poison, then safe spot behind Italy rock and wait for the poison to INFINITELY damage him to effectively eventually "one tick" him. I mean, we already have splashers and hard core melee afkers with NMZ, let's not make lazy PvM players as well.

The whole venom thing period I think is really stupid and will be a complete drag on pking. Might even ruin it in its entirety.
Doubt people will even bring the gear into PvP very often, it will prob cost too much to be something you risk every fight.

Oh pleeeaase don't exaggerate. If you want to avoid it, you'll simply have to replace something with an anti-poison/ anti-venom pot, simples.

I see a problem with ragging...
Running into wild with the pipe, shooting a few darts at someone so he gets poisoned.
If it is possible, people will do it; don´t ask me why.

This boss is going to result in millions of people camping

...Millions?

Original message details are unavailable.
economy will be swamped with these new items making their price crash dramatically

Such as guthan spear with it's steady and stable price of 7m+?
Or SoT* with it's stable price?
How about dfs which is also at a steady 19m?
Or fury, which is at a constant 3m+ with no signs of lowering?
Same case with whip-showing no signs of dropping in price.

Demand is what keeps prices high, regardless of their supply. Kill the trade, you kill the demand, which kills the demand of the other items you speak of, which kills the profitability of them, which kills the popularity of the boss. There's a damn good reason that jagex has never made bosses drop untradables before, other than pets.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

If someone rags you, record it and send it to jagex...
