You could also say the Tentacle is a living breathing thing! It grows in power everytime you feed it a whip.

You can 'feed' your tentacle up to 6 Whips which increases its attack bonuses two point each and its strength and pray by one point.

This would mean your tentacle whip would have maxed stats of +94 Slash and +88 Str and +6 Prayer.

In addition to this it would require the consumption of 6 whips in order to reach this status. You could keep the special attack but have a clause where the tentacle reverts back to its unendowed form if dropped in wildy.
I might like this idea more but there's an issue with what happens when it gets dropped. It could potentially be a very powerful weapon with no real risk.

That is the issue, especially since it's special is now useable in PVP situations. Proud 28%er

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

Please explain how you would not be able to use a whip for castle wars, pest control or questing.

At the cost of 225k an hour only the very rich would be able to use it. That is was makes the whip so amazing in the first place, anyone can use it anywhere/

For training maybe... But you won't do 2000 hits an hour at the activities you just mentioned. I only use like 250 cbow charges an hour at cwars for example.

You can still use a regular whip. This update doesn't remove regular whips from game lol.

You still drop the tentacle which is going to be a rather rare drop from a level 87 task only monster.

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.

What manner of idiot tells Bwuk Im PB that he knows nothing about magic?

Please, adding 10% more mage damage on top of Staff of light(of the dead) would just be stupid. Don't make it 2013 again with ridiculous 40 damage ice barrages.

I laughed at this moron. Funny how he comments yet all I see him do is rag range with an AGS in PvP worlds. Power ammy, black d'hide and an AGS. The lulz are real.

Once again, support the fact it will have a huge impact on PKer's and none of us want this in the PK scene, apart from maybe the kids that sit in PvP worlds and just barrage/AGS rush people from a safe spot.

Why are you flaming me when you have made all your bank from ddosing people?

Clearly have the wrong person bud. I haven't DDoSed anyone and I'm highly against this, it ruins the community and has done since 2009. Single PKing was destroyed by it. And being a co-leader of a single team for 5 years why would I want to ruin the scene I love so much?

But then again, people believe whatever they hear on the internet. Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

Everyone knows you are a ddoser lol, you have hit me offline before. This is why DP is a clan for the disabled.

The hate, I can see it with your words you're typing. Clearly just hate me or DP and need to hide behind the lies that are made-up by people like you that just want to hate on us. I've never hit anyone offline and never will.

Of course it doesn't remove whips from the game [or does it ;) ] However those of us who are ****ious about how much money we spend won't be using this tentacle whip unless we are doing good slayer tasks or bossing. That leads many of us down the thought process of why bother with it? If it costs me 1m for a whip I can use all the time with no variable cost as opposed to 2m for a tentacle whip that costs 200g everytime I hit why would I even bother with that? Just save up for something like a Fury or Tassets and I'd skip right over the whip. Proud 28%er

PLEASE JAGEX! HEED MY WARNING!! Listen to the slayers who say to feed whips to the kracken whip in order to drain whips, instead of out pricing it so only scammers, stakers, and merchants can afford. We spend many MANY hours using weapons, all those who would be able to afford the whip comparatively spend far less time using weapons. I would argue that those who use weapons the absolute most, and infact the very people who are responsible for bringing these weapons into the game ! (through slayer drops) , should actually be able to use this cool new weapon without bleeding all their meager profits.

Its use is for PvP or for people who can afford to use it for PvM

This will be good for whip price. Or maybe ..
It would indeed make an item sink for whips, making them more valuable. However, if whips become higher in price, due to higher demand it will be way to expensive to use in most cases. Especially for that little bonus. As a quite wealthy player, I'd not think it'd be worth it to do. If whips get back up to 2-3m it's VERY expensive to use. This would pretty much get a constant fluctuation in price as the demand will go down at times price is high and up when price is low. This will cause a large amount of merchants to manipulate the price of whips with it.
Therefor I don't think this is a good solution for a whip item sink and won't recieve my vote.

The necklace is very nice. Good concept. However I'd like to see more than just a necklace.

With the krakens we got tridents, boss kraken, a whip add on. (or something simular if it doesn't pass the poll)
Smoke devils a necklace for mages.. What about rangers?
I think the smoke devil boss should drop something for rangers. A bow perhaps. A rare unique bow, something with the mechanics of a hexhunter bow.
