I would like to see a new one handed weapon thats slower but with a higher strength bonus to rival the whip. i don't know if this is the boss to do it but i would love to see it. any idea of what level the monster would be?

Could we have an option to make the Toxic blowpipe one-handed and have the same speed but lesser stats perhaps?? I think this would be good for the community because it would provide rangers with more options while fighting dragons and other things which require specialized shields, etc. Please consider this suggestion! Thank you! Keep up the great work guys!

maybe perhaps this could introduce venomskin hide range armor?
it could be the middle ground between black dragonhide and armadyl ranged armor
and has the chance to poison a enemy. ( in terms of crafting black * hide stops at 84 so maybe a craft requirement of 87 onwards?) what about karils? will this make it useless? well heres where the differences show the stats could reflect purely on the combat triangle so its mele defences could be lower than mystic and has a higher magic defence than karils but lower than armadyl? but that is a design problem i have yet to solve
This could also perhaps introduce something similar to the totem in rs3 which brings immunity to poison but perhaps it could be in the form of a ring i understand that may render the antidotes useless, but this could have a low drop rate maybe 1/10k?
anyway your ideas so far are something i would be happy to see in oldschool
another idea!
it could drop a venomfang which could be added to the ava's attracter which has the 1/4 chance to poisen the arrow you are firing

More updates for maxed cash/stat RWTers and AFKers please end game content every month is a necessity because everyone who matters in this game is maxed cb and they will quit if they dont have a new -millions of gp-
loot dropping boss to kill. Dont worry about anyone who is level 60-90... Ill just Solo a Blue dragon..or maybe ill cut wood untill im level 126 and have enough for bandos + AGS since people really skill for their GP anymore Right?

You know that all 126s were like you at one point? What did we do?

DKs, KBD, wilderness demi bosses, giant mole..

But this was when people did DKs with 3 super antipoisons, sometimes even 2, KBD had a terrible drop table and people only went there in trio teams with range when they were bored, wildy bosses didn't exist and giant mole always has been a waste of time (unless you're maxed with dharoks, but even then - there's still much better things to do). So we had the choice between barrows and DKs for money, DFS's were 40-60m so not many PvMers had one of those.

Consider yourselves lucky, right now there's loads of bosses for low levels. What do high levels have? We had GWD over a year ago (solo is bad tbh, but you can call it a solo boss if you want) then we recently Corp (which can only be soloed if you use the duel arena method, which isn't worth it), there's no high level solo bosses atm (I don't count wildy bosses, they're not worth doing IMO - if you want small drops for consistent gp/hr, go to wyverns...). I don't see why high levels don't deserve a new boss, we've dedicated the most time to the game and we've already done all the smaller bosses a million times...

If you want a 1h weapon, buy an ACB - this is 2h for a reason...

While I disapprove of new strong content being added to the game, I can also see that people would like higher end-game balances made. I understand that, so no qualms there.

That being said, I still think that the venom is way too much to keep as an "apply on hit" mechanic. It would be interesting to see the weapons have a POISON on hit, but then the special attacks used against a poisoned opponent would have a chance to augment the poison into the stronger venom-type DoT.



ON ANOTHER NOTE!
Revamping old parts of the game would be great too. Since so many players in the OSRS community have been around since the dawn of RS2, they know the best and most streamlined ways to level. Which makes for a bit of a boring path through the game. Perhaps revamping areas such as Fishing Trawler or the Rogue's Guild to be more rewarding and accessible would add different but equal ways to go about doing the same things!

ACB is good but this is cooler!
