Wow, it's nice to know a whiney bunch of cretins has basically made boss slayer pointless. What idiots would complain about the slayer helm boost, isn't that sort of the point of players asking for boss tasks. This basically means your getting slayer xp for going bossing exactly as you would normally do. May as well use your staff to fix the ddosing problems instead of making substitute updates. I bet most of the feedback came from accounts that can't even go to most of these bosses anyway.

Seems like you're trying to give Dragon Boots a further purpose which is good but at the same time you're giving Ranger Boots too much of a purpose, they'll probably out-price the attachment because of the sheer demand and they're probably going to be on average less common than the said attachment.

I'd go around this one of two ways.

Add another type of range based boots with 50-60 Defense and make them lesser to Ranger Boots offensively, but when upgraded become the superior option.

(Theses could be attained in numerous ways, a quest, an attunement of some sort or even a monster drop, maybe spice up a dwindling monsters drop table)

If it was me I'd personally remove the Seercul and have the boots replace them, that way all three Dagganoths drop two desirable items excluding axes (Rings, Staff and possibly Boots)

Hardly a dwindling drop table on DKs but it was just my opinion, there's obviously much better options out there to add them to if that was the case.

OR

Add them to Snakeskin boots, because in reality Dragon Boots are probably about as common these days, such a high drop rate and I know on my other account I've camped max KC at Saradomin and Zamorak 3-4 times.
So you may as well re-purpose another pair of relatively useless boots.

Yeah, and if they introduced new boots which had a 75 defence requirement, I'd be absolutely fine with that. The problem I have is that they're altering the already existent requirements which just doesn't make sense to me.

No they're not just altering existing requirements, to craft the new Best-In-Slot boots you need to combine old boots with a new item effectively making it a new item, just slightly harder to get than a if it had been a pure boot drop.

Still I don't see the purpose in making dragon boots more useful than they already are when we have perfectly useless boots sitting around *hint* Bandos Boots *hint*

And by making the already rare and expensive Ranger boots an 'ingredient' in the B-I-S ranged boots are a less than stellar idea. Instead introduce a new weaker (than Ranger boots) pair of ranged boots. These could enchance some of the less desireable monster's drop table (could be Hellhounds or Black Demons, neither really have anything, Ne**ryael isn't exactly the best either...) and then use these new boots as the 'Boot ingredient' for the new B-I-S boots.

This all sounds incredibly cool, and I'm really looking forward to the update!

The only thing I'd like you guys to keep in mind; Please don't add a Slayer task to Tureal's list with the Slayer assignment refactoring which you can't cannon (Or recoil). I'm a 10 Hitpoints pure, and there's more out there, it would be a shame if due to the update we'd eventually get stuck on a Slayer task we cannot complete.

This avoids a repeat of what glacors did, they sinply became the new BIS.

Dragon boots are common as dirt, as melee is the dominant dps in rs. (Bandos Boots failed getting +20 range defense in poll) They had to re-poll at +15 to appease the mob lol

Ranger boots are bis and +5 accuracy over snakeskin. Not sure what else to attach to without crashing rangers.

Infinity are mage, no real demand as mage is left in the dust for pvm in almost all updates anyways.

Again no idea what would be a better option to attach to.

The mage boots are going to have very limited use. A high mage bonus is not needed in the vast majority of areas and in some areas like barrows, it is not really needed at all.

The Eternal boots would be much more useful if they give something like +6 magic attack + 10 melee defenses instead of +8 and +5. Seeing as how the mage bonus would only be +1 higher than infinity, this would also be avoiding power creep while making these the better choice at the same time.

Please take this into consideration.

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

It would be awesome to get a (boss) monster in every race of monster types (a more rewarding monster in that race).

E.g. a goblin boss that has morec rewarding items then a normal goblin.
E.g. a skeleton boss, ice warrior boss, moss giant boss,...

If this will be added in the game, low level players would be more motivated to PVM + introduced to it.

I actually hope this will get into the game, because it will help people in many ways!
