People in this thread do not use their brain. How many times have you seen someone actually fighting in statius. Statius is mainly used for speccing so stop moaning about that you wont be hitting anything. Also when someone brings out statius they will obviously bring a imbued berserker ring aswell which will make them risk bank. I'ts also really easy to kill someone in statius all you have to do is veng their whip hit or w/e then just 1tick back with Ags.

Just wondering if anyone can confirm a drop buff for chaos fanatic and crazed archaeologist as part of this improvement? (Apart from the addition of a pet/cosmetic hat)

Also - I've been soloing the Chaos Fanatic and have racked up around 200+ kills so far, and I must say I have been a little disappointed with the return so far.(I am yet to have a shard drop, but this is beside the point). So, my feedback is centred on the chaos fanatic.

Ideas/Feedback/suggestions:

Drop Buffs:
- Smoke rune/other combo rune drops: Dust/Smoke/Mist runes etc have been dead content for a while due to the cumbersome way these runes are crafted. Other combination runes are replaced by the Lava/Steam/Mud battlestaves. It would be nice to see an increase in the number of smoke runes dropped, and maybe add Dust/Mist runes to the drop table aswell.

- Extending on the above- Change the drop mechanics for combination runes so they don't drop by themselves, but rather have them drop occasionally as a secondary item from the chaos fanatic.

- Could have the Chaos Fanatic drop a bone that needs to buried/used on the altar in the nearby temple for a prayer bonus, similar to lava dragons.

Feedback:
- Generally not a bad boss to solo, the nearby altar brings the cost of runs down a fair bit and lets me get around 20 kills a run without much expense which is convenient.

-Having the prayer potion drop occasionally is nice, maybe add a range potion drop from time to time?

- I have had a surprising amount of "Nothing" drops from the chaos fanatic which struck me as odd. This boss was meant to be providing reward for my risk?

- A thought I had was to increase the Multi Combat zone around the small temple nearby on the western edge of the wildy. I think the radius should be increased to a point where if you are standing just on the edge of the multi zone, you just can't see players at the back of the temple. This may create some activity for small pk teams at the temple.

I'm sorry but if you are saying the dragon plate from the smoke devils will have the same drop rate as a d chain from dust devils then that is just unacceptable.

In all my playing years I have received ONE d chain from dust devils and I have killed thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of dusties.
Now I can see why a low level npc with a low slayer req should have a very slim chance of dropping something so valuable but a 90+ slayer npc should not be based in the same category.
If that is the case, you are basically adding a slayer npc for the sake of it being high level content, with no real value to the slayer who is slaying it.
I'm sure most high levelled slayer's will agree with me on this, there should be real incentive to continue going/reward for the levels we have achieved other than a VERY VERY SMALL chance of getting a d plate.

Please give the smoke devils and the slayer boss a different "unique drop" than the dragon platebody. Dust devils are barely worth it to kill already and if you release the D plate, you'll devalue both the dust devils and the KQ.

I'm not interested in a copy of the dust devils with a slightly better "unique drop", I'm sorry.

This pretty much says it all.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your feedback. We're going to make a few changes to the questions. With the recharging of the glory ammy, we'll increase that to 6 charges and also include the combat bracelet and skills necklace. We'll also increase the amount the dark crabs heals to 24.

It is clear that you would like the dragon platebody, just not as a reward from a slayer monster. We will offer the dragon platebody in some form in the future and in the mean time we will open a thread for you to give us some suggestion on what you would like the new slayer monster and bosses to drop.

Suggestion
smithing the 3 shield pieces in the wilderness is pretty pointless since u can just go 3 iteming with them and is pretty fast done

Solution
: Give the Player a puzzle to solve while he gets sculled using that anvil otherwise there is no point being there as a pker

Suggestion
Items like Mystic , Ancient Staff and Fremmy helms are pretty common for pking use, but yet there is no way effective way to obtain them beside buying them out of a shop or pking some

Solution:
Might aswell add some of the actually used gear to the droptables to the bosses instead of adding new/unwanted stuff

Important
: Work with the current content, if u wanna introduce new stuff like the dragon platebody - have some love for the kq , and work around the chainbody

Make it hard and longterm content!!

This is wonderful news! :) Thank you very much.

I look forward to reading the suggestion thread, hopefully we get some useful creative ideas.
