Furthermore you can make it so the Tentacal doesn't only increase the whip, but it also increases say the Crystal Bow, or Armady XBow or Rune Xbow as well. That way Melee and Range will get an optional buff and the drop will have much more demand. Proud 28%er

How about a dragon plate cover drop to the smoke devil boss. The plate cover would be smithed onto the dragon chain to create the dragon plate body that way the dragon chain wouldn't be be devaluated.

You wouldn't be able to use your Whip for the following if it degrades:

Castle Wars
Pest Control
Questing

Having it degradable furthers the focus that everything is time and money related which is the mentality many of us left from RS3 Proud 28%er

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.


The entire point of the update is to remove whips from the game so the price remains more then 80k because everyone has 3 whips...or at least I hope it is.

As of the whip itself, not a fan. If it does happen to pass and come into the game.... it definately should have a different special attack, and imo the kraken part should also degrade - making the whole weapon degrade to dust. About the 5k/10k hits... why not just 10hours of combat? :D Seems to work fine for barrows etc. Special attack could maybe have ~25% boost to damage and accuraccy and consume 50% of the special attack energy.

The magic amulet is an AWESOME idea... specially for PvM, because honestly, having melee hit 50-60+ or more with godswords, range 40-50+ with high bolts, and then we got magic with only max hit of 30+. Magic DOES NEED A BUFF. Full support to that one.

The staff is... meh... wouldn't call it a big drop. :P I see it as a handy item though, so i'd support that one too.

( BUMP-ing the G.E alternative idea also :) )

Keep up the good work. :)

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.

Poll it please.

Pking definitely does NOT need more OP items. Especially the 10% magic damage boost is just way too much. You have 85 magic please do not make suggestions if you do not know what you are talking about.

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?

A str option wouldn't devalue SS as it is mainly used for training. Sara sword still has a prayer bonus, and with the semi-high cost of using tentacle whip most players wouldn't use it to train with. You do make it sound quite selfish, though, wanting sara GWD to be better when this update could greatly help people who kill abby demons for money.

I hope the smoke devils normal drops will be valuable, I can't imagine a smoke staff (lv93slay) being as exensive as a triedent, whip or dark bow in the long run

I was quite generous with alchables for them and they have a chance at the dragon chainbody, albeit very slim. The boss has a fairly generous drop table and a better chance at the dragon chainbody.
