I fail to use what practical use a dragon platebody would have? Dragon armour is primarily cosmetic (Bandos/Barrows armours offer superior offensive and defensive bonuses) and so wouldn't have much worth. As a high level slayer monster, wouldn't it make more sense for smoke devils to drop something that is actually useful? (Like the whip is used for pvp/pvm/slayer, dark bow for pvp, and trident for some pvm/slayer).

A rewarding experience rate is somewhat meaningless when many tasks are now over 40k/hr with slayer cave+cannon, so I don't think offering a monster with an ultra-rare, useless drop but trying to persuade us with "superior exp rates" is appropriate.

Please consider changing the drop to something "useful", like an upgrade to crystal equipment for example, rather than a novelty item like another piece of dragon equipment.

The aim is to have the Smoke devils be a very rewarding xp rate.

remove the dust devils from the cave then

They'll have their own area.

I don't want the dragon plate coming from the highest level slayer monster, we ought to get high end rewards for killing the highest level slayer monsters.

Lets be honest, the dragon plate body is just cosmetic, bandos and barrows will always be used over it. I would prefer something that's actually useful to a high level slayer, like a whip vine or some equivalent.

Let the new boss drop a dragon platebody sure, but not the actually level 93 slayer monster please.

which dragon plate body are you going to use?

1: a normal plate body with some spikes on the shoulders and elbow pads w/ dragon insignia? (Concept)

2: the original one?

3: or the one I made with Bandos shoulders + arms and the visage on the plate?

What about using morrigans/statius/zuriels "add-ons" to increase the stats of existing items but make them degradeable (to work as an item sink), rather than new items altogether? Sort of like whip-vine but degradeable.

What about Scorpia? Why is that the only boss that doesnt get buffed drops when its the most challenging of the 3 demi bosses to kill?

If you have some ideas for Scorpia, then please do share them with us. We're open to anything.

More cactus spines, overall *double* the average drops.

Split the cave into two parts, one part multi and the other single or make it single around the entrance to give people soloing a chance of escape instead of giving the advantage of teams to instantly slaughter you. I can take on 1 person, but i can't take on 5-10+ people at the same time.


(p.s. read my post on first page, if you haven't yet)

Any Jmod answer my questions please??

I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer my two questions.

Will it ever be possible to get the staff for modelling + designing new graphics rather than reusing the existing content, and if so when?

Just wondering because I'm sure things such as dragon claws (as an example) can then be created as a result.

Also you should re-poll the revenant question as I am aware that many people were not fully aware of what exactly the revenants will drop or not.

Furthermore, will be ever get a larger team (by recruiting more members to old school) to write + design new quests?
