So I've been thinking about the three demi bosses. I've notice that they all have a certain weakness.
Scropo- Magic
Fanatic-Range
Archaeologist-Melee

So I was thinking what if they drop armor/ weapons based on their weaknesses.

Scropo- mystic/ splitbark armor + a rare chance at ancient staffs

Fanatic- Black d hide( or d hide in general) + rune crossbows + bolts (not sure on the amount of bolts that could be dropped or what kind)

Archaeologist- Rune items (plate, legs, skirt, helm, etc) + maybe some dragon items like (d long, some dds, a d scim)

This idea could definitely be expanded on
.
I thought adding a little more reward like these to demi bosses instead of a few random new drops could maintain people at these monsters.

They actually already drop these items but according to the class they attack with;

Scorpia drops rune items and a Dragon scimitar.
Crazed Archaeologist drops various ranged equipment.
Chaos Fanatic drops runes, splitbark and the Ancient staff.

I don't think D plate would be a good idea.

If I'm honest, I'd much prefer an item that we can use on a crystal bow, which gives it more charges, better stats, and makes it fire purple arrows.

make the smoke devil drop something useful.. or at least be good xp. i hate to sound mean, but the cave kraken task is an awful task and is now skipped due to terrible xp and losing money.


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

And here i thought you all would actually listen and try to update it to make it more appealing. What you have brought to the table is an abhorrence. People play 2007scape for a reason, and its not to have pets, dragon platebodies, ancient warrior gear, or updates to the glory/ring of wealth. The fountain of rune faces one option and one option only to make it not a worthless piece of programming - EXP.

I agree the bosses need their drop tables buffed, but with CURRENTLY INGAME ITEMS, not something new every freaking month man, this is becoming eocscape fast and I might just hop off the boat now. and dont even get me started on this motherlode mine. when voting, one of the options should have been and SHOULD ALWAYS BE 'No change/update pls'

This is my little rant as a RS player since 2004, give the people what they want holy crap.


Oh and i was just going through it again, what we want from the new bosses is not a fedora or something like that, we want a option to get the chaos fanatics ancient staff for example, not something that is going to look like the day summoning first came out again. /cringe





/end rant

I actually like the idea of ring of wealth being charged at the fountain of runes, and having a much more effective method to get around to these places. I believe this will make the fountain of rune a bit more active.

As for the Dragon Plate, I'd like to see it in game. However, I think it should require Dragon Chain for the upgrade. Therefore, Dragon Chain won't be forgotten armor, and it'll still retain some value to it.

I like Cave Krakens. I break even on alchables and tridents are nice bonuses.

Please don't add troll drops to Smoke devils like Dust devils currently drop red d'hide vambs....

Don't add anything red colored period! LOL (Not counting platebody)
