Whip strength training? Don't we have a Saradomin Sword for a reason?


only very wealthy players would use the whip for slayer/training because of the high cost, won't devalue or make the ss useless

I like the idea but it would be better if they both degraded because it would make the tentacles worth something as well if that makes sense so that whips arent rising and tentacles just dropping, it would be better that way in my opinion because you would actually need to go back and get the tentacles and not just keep the 1 haha :)


They require 87 and 93 Slayer to obtain, are quite rare, and you must also be on task in order to obtain them.

I don't think we need to worry about the price.
As long as they are being used, they will have a reasonably high price.


i thought that would be the same for "trident staves" and they are 1m now haha


Only because they aren't very useful.

These would be the best amulet for magic and the best melee weapon to use.

Tridents dropped from 2.7m to nothing because they did not pass in the pvp poll which pretty much made them almost useless because they do not have a base exp but just help on kraken/metal tasks but very expensive to keep using it. So if both tentacle and whip turned to nothing it would lose a lot of its demand due to no one wanting to even use them. I really like the tentacle idea except it just feels like it was pulled from a whip vine in rs3.

People will always go for what's fastest and if the new whip has a strength option it'll just hurt the Saradomin Sword (which hurts me since I Sara for money often). I'll vote no on that.

I do think that ranged is the forgotten middle child here though, no updates for it. Can we get maybe a power increase on the ACB or a ranging amulet along with the magic one?

talking among the slay clan I am in, (slay clan) 99% of the feedback was negative, from what I Heard the amulet needs buffing to be able to rival the fury amulet magic defense, and the tentacle should be consumed, NOT the whip, although this would sort the whip price problem out, nobody wants to fight with a degradable weapon, so it would seem.

additionally, pkers would surely vote down the introduction of whip add-ons which would perhaps rival their chances of pking.
as for the smoke staff, I imagine it would be cheap and perhaps useless or ineffective to those with a magic level lower than 75, definately not worth the prestige of 93 slayer. Personally id welcome the dragon platebody.

not looking for hate, this is just one opinion, or one clans opinion. thanks for takign the time to read :)

is this new whip going to have a strength option? or is it just going to have an attack, defense, and shared?


It will have the same styles as an abyssal whip, some players have suggested adding a strength option but this will need some strong support and would then be polled separately.

Suggestion: I'm not too keen on loosing the whip I would use the tentacle on, even at 5,000 or 10,000 hits. Maybe decrease the abyssal tentacles' degradation- to around 2,500 hits so that the abyssal tentacle isn't OP, and might sit around the price of the crystal equipment. Only the tentacle would degrade and you after 2,500 hits you would be left with the whip. I do support the abyssal tentacle having a strength option.

Also, has the Slayer level requirement for the Smoke Devil/Boss been released yet?
