But why did you guys word it that way?
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear. Still, if we'd put "equivalent to a shortbow", I'd understand why you'd expect it to be like a shortbow. "Equivalent to a shortbow on rapid" would be one tick faster. Which it is.
Meanwhile, the blowpipe has a relatively low max hit compared to a high-end bow (apart from its special attack), and it has a substantially shorter range too.
It could have other attributes, like attack bonus, or high range/mage defense. But being that it degrades, I guess it having strength bonus isn't that bad.
I do have a question regarding poison. Does the poison tick coming from these new weapons/helmet have a unique damage tick or does it override other poisons such as smoke barrage/weapon poison? it would be neat to have its own, unique damage tick to give it better damage output overall if you were to add them together.

The blowpipe sucks, msb + rune arrows is higher dps and cheaper than blowpipe + d darts, and I don't think anyone would use the spec instead of a d bow spec in PvP.
Either make it the same speed as darts without the pipe or increase the stats.
John C:
It is of course subject to balancing.
I've gone with an initial attack speed of 3, darts are 2
, just so it's not too powerful. Dragon darts max is currently 21, with the increased ranged strength this should be about 25 with the increase in accuracy making you much more likely to hit. I can't be too specific before we actually make it but the aim is to have a powerful fast hitting weapon without making all other range options obsolete across all levels. If once we make it we find the weapon not to be too great based on the information then we'll tweak it. "
Yeah, after a bit of trawling I'd have to conclude that we (the community and the developers) weren't on the same page.
John C implied that it had a different base attack speed when compared to Darts/Knives.
It's also worth noting that the quoted player is a very knowledgeable PvP'er.

Soooo, for this is the first message a mod responded to, now you have to put Zulrah poop in a corner of his location!
How many whiny 12 year olds where on world 330 yesterday? I managed to calm everyone down a bit, but I'm curious :3
We did technically do that for Callisto, in case anyone was wondering if a bear goes in the woods.
I'm afraid I didn't see any numbers for w330, since I was doing a livestream at the time.
Hehe!
I mean after the stream, it went on for on hour after it! 'RIOT IN W330!!!!!!' ._.

I cannot load anyworlds on oldschool...
Look on your hard drive for a folder called "jagexcache", and delete it. See if that helps. It solves a surprising number of issues.

It overrides other poisons.
While it would indeed give a higher damage output overall if we were to add them together, I think that might be a tad excessive.

After the stream, it was about 10.20pm when we left the office, and we all went home to find some food. Sorry to disappoint

The description says "When wearing the serpentine helm you are immune to all poisons and venom." Please can you confirm that this includes the pyramid plunder minigame? Are all drops tradeable directly? Thanks.
