The ability to gamble the firecape away for the chance at the pet should also have the chance of additional rewards. Nothing big, as it should be mainly for the pet. But we also shouldn't just be basically deleting our hard earned fire cape. Even if it were just a small tokkal reward or something similar.

Sure, increase the spawn of Red Dragons. Some were removed when Lava Dragons were put in, after all.

But no, stop adding monsters to the Stronghold Cave... Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

Pegasian Boots
Created by infusing ranger boots with one of the as yet unnamed crystals, Pegasian boots provide a +12 range attack, -12 magic attack and +5 stab, slash, crush & magic defence.

Pegasian boots require 75 defence and ranged to wear.


So basically, your adding an item sink for a quite rare and expensive item... yay.

Would you rather them use snakeskin boots? Or only boost magic and melee boots?

I would prefer it be anything other than a rare treasure trail reward item.
although personally i think they should add a mid-tier ranging boot thats more defensive based rather than range attack, which could then be used (in comparison to Rune boots to dragon boots, have this new boot be 40 def/range with better defensive stats than ranging boots, but maybe only half the offensive stats, or at least better than snakeskin) This new boot could also be used to revamp an older slayer monster for improved drops, like Kurasks.

you do realise the cerberus is located in the dungeon, which means it can't be killed without task, also the boots use existing boots to make them, so it wouldn't devalue them at all

I think there should definitely be a higher level requirement on the bosses. I know as it stands there is no requirement for hellhounds, but if they make the drop table as Op as Zulrah then it'll be ridiculous. Zulrah has practically no requirements and can be rinsed by low levels and that has really affected the economy.

The Cerberus boss is going to effectively drop the highest tier boots in game but you don't want a slayer requirement? It's going to leave people farming it who haven't bothered to train slayer and this is a SLAYER update - yet you don't want a required level? Combat is too frequently becoming a replacement for skilling, for example, Zulrah crashing the market for farming, if something doesn't have an alch value, it's very difficult for it to hold it's price (Yew seeds are now more expensive than magics). I digress. BUT, I think we seriously need to think long and hard about the requirements AND the drop table as too often it's released and amendments are being made after.

Also, kill "x" of any boss is ridiculous, needs some kind of specificity.

But as a first blog, it looks great. Just needs some thought and interaction with the community, hopefully it'll work out well.

Anything over a rare treasure trail item? Well what's left apart from snakeskin boots?

A defensive range boots would be valued very low. Are they defensive towards melee? range? magic?

I dislike all your ideas. I'd prefer new drops from new monsters rather than giving old monsters new items.

Question: Will the abyssal dagger have any reduced stats against corporal beast? Or will it be the new best stab weapon against corp?

It will be halved damage, same as all other non spear weapons.

This update looks great and it's a yes to all but the only thing that annoys me is the fact you chose dagger > sword, it makes no sense that a dagger is this powerful lol.
I'm also rather disappointed that Mith Dragons haven't been analysed for a buff in drops as their current drop table is very weak compared to Wyverns.

Other than that keep up the great work and I'll keep playing. ^_^
