Dear Developers,

Do you understand the point of oldschool runescape?


Please, please please, stop feeling the urge to keep adding new stuff to oldschool. If you guys have your way you're going to completely botch it again and ruin oldschool. For the second time.

Just leave it alone.

@Te*ikleez, the point of oldschool runescape is to provide us with a game that is not EoC. That's it.

Without updates, the game would become stagnant and die. The developers and the vast majority of the playerbase understands this. Do you?
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 sad to see this thread dying. I understand the Forums are not large anymore, but I'd truly love to see more support for the Abyssal Dagger. It truly needs a buff.

Mod Ronan,

As you can clearly see throughout the thread, people are demanding the weapons receive a minor/major rework. I've agreed with you that the Daggers damage is fine by your confirmed calculations. I, and many others, however, still are very firm on the stance that the Abyssal Dagger must recieve a 50% accuracy boost, and a lower drain rate. This will become the first ever "Hybrid's" weapon. Made to combo, but not overwhelm as it still retains a moderate DPS that is on par with other weapons, but is far outclassed by others as well. This is balanced and needed. This fits what you asked for: A PvP weapon to help hype us PvP.

As for the Bludgeon, I do not know, but many people want a fix on this too.

I have read almost all of the current posts and I believe we should make the items EXTREMELY RARE loots as well as making sure the boss is VERY DIFFICULT then we can BUFF THE NEW ITEMS accordingly. I am assuming the Abyssal Siren will be SLAYER TASK ONLY. This alone should help in Itself, Alternatively Perhaps we SAVE THE CONTENT for ZEAH where we can be teleported to the boss lair from OUR NEW SLAYER MASTER? Ideas feedback end.

Abyssal Sire is task only. I am surely in favor of making the bosses drops very rare. I don't like seeing an over abundance of items in the game. Also, it would help justify buffing these weapons appropriately. Both need work.

Abyssal Dagger, again, I propose to add a +50% accuracy buff and to lower the drain rate to 30-35%. This will make the Special Attack worth using and it will remain balanced.

Defenetly going to impact the cost of prayer since i imagine rich players making these 99 prayer twinks now ... if you think about it with 77 prayer points cosumed that's 23% damage increase... so its no joke

Good idea i however think it still has some flaws....

One small thought: how about the normal speed of the bludgeon is similar to an 2h weapon and after the special attack is used to increases speed AND % per missing prayer point for a period of time ( this will also make tactical use of freeze a lot more impactfull in a 1v1)

i know this may seem overexaggerated but its best to see how it will impact pking / pvm in the first few months

The weapon is a good start thought
