Over time however, the stone will lose power and the axe must be recharged with either another smouldering stone or dragon axe after burning 5,000 logs.

Is there a 50% chance that either the stone OR the axe will lose it's power?

Or do we simply get an uncharged smouldering axe/ pickaxe and then charge it with either the stone or the axe? Not particularly clear.

It is disappointing how you guys continue to show bias towards melee. Zulrah's content implied that this has changed, but apparently not. The blowpipe did add variety to range,but it's still only that or a crossbow as everything else is lousy at higher levels.

Meleers already have several good/decent weapons to choose from: Whip****, D scim, Dh, Verac..even the soTd is a reasonable melee weapon especially vs mages due to the mage def. They also have plenty of spec weapons compared to range and especially mage: DDS, AGS, Bgs, SGS for pvm, and granite maul. Rangers only have the darkbow and blowpipe.

Yet melee is still getting more and more? Where is this going to lead?

They don't need more weapons yet and they certainly don't need a special with double accuracy with guaranteed double damage if it hits. It is irrelevant that the damage is overtime as that still gives melee a dps spike which they do not need . The blog has also neglected to mention the stats of the bludgeon which is also of concern.
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.

I'm sorry but this was extremely lazy. Cool a new weapon but you don't post stats. This tells us nothing. How are we supposed to vote when we are constantly kept in the dark about crucial information.

Nothing posted today was that expansive that couldn't have been posted with the June month ahead.

Side note, please stop using reddit as an official form of communiation. It's pathetic how the community has to have their customer service issues addressed through a third party website versus jagex's own systems.

I'm not hating on any update proposed simply saying the way you go about handling it is very poor. The ideas are there but just stop doing it in pieces. Propose a full idea, at this rate we will have ~dev blog v40 before we know what's actually coming. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

Was expecting more monster buffs to the following:

- Kurasks
- Spiritual rangers
- Gargoyles
- Ne**ryaels

Sadly disappointed only Dark beasts and spiritual mages are getting buffs.

At least remove the junk drops from the above and add more herbs, seeds, gems, etc?

Edit: Also Karamja elite has terrible rewards.. why can't brimhaven dungeon give noted bars from metal dragons after completing? Right now there's zero reason to go to this cave because everything else is more conveniently located at Gnome cave.

I still believe that a 95 slayer requirement is more suitable for Cerberus, nonetheless I am glad that it has been at least increased from the initial no requirement and past the 81-84 requirement.

Moving on, the addition of more monsters in Nieve's dungeon. I don't like the though of cramming it all into one place... Nieve is better exp/points if you do the western diaries even though she's only the second highest level master which seems wrong to me. What I can suggest is adding a high level slayer dungeon with higher level slayer creatures in a seperate dungeon while keeping Nieve's dungeon filled with med level slayer creatures or even add an extension to Nieve's dungeon which would require a high agility (any skill really) to pass and a one time fee of 2m.

Would it be possible to 'highlight' 1-4 slayer tasks and make them 'slightly' more common to appear for those monsters we like killing more than others?

But make it very expensive to buy, like 1-2k points.
