that's awesome, although i'm a bit disappointed that some of these drops (ex: occult necklace) weren't offered as an option for the wildy bosses

we all knew it was unlikely that PvP armors were going to pass, polling some decent drops which had a good chance of entering the game would have been nice !

Mila,

From the Dev time it makes sense that having 3 tiers would be better than 6.

75 Attack = Feed Two Whips to Tentacle for Tentacle F1
+4 Slash +2 Str +1 Prayer

80 Attack = Feed Two Whips to a Tentacle F1 for Tentacle F2
+8 Slash +4 Str +2 Prayer

85 Attack = Feed Two Whips to a Tentacle F2 for Tentacle F3

+12 Slash + 6 Str +3 Prayer

I don't like the Kraken Tentacle add on to whip idea. The whip vanishes after your done with it while at the same time whips become more and more expensive... Seems like a waste of money to me for just 1 plus hit. Plus the special is way too op. Freezing should be left to magic. I would support a different drop.

Make the tentacle degrade after 10k hits and vanish on drop, not the whip. Or else im going to be buying an expensive whip just for it to disappear on me. And remove or replace the binding spec. Too op.
If you need to make the tentacle more common drop that's okay. It would still be worth couple 100k a pop.

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.

This is a great idea! PLEASE CONSIDER, JMODS.

Voting no on both of these items, here we go with the start of OP weapons coming into the game.

Whipping 48's with max strength bonus and barraging 38-39 with the necklace and staff of dead.

Nah, not for me. Sorry.

I completely agree. This is honestly cringeworthy, I feel the Old School team has almost no respect for the Old School aspect of the game. Every single update involves making the game easier and bringing in more powerful items.

Also, the start of bringing OP items in the game was the re-introduction of GWD, then going further by releasing additional items like SOD and ACB. Everyone brushed off those saying that it would be a slippery slope leading to more OP items, but look where we are now. One single update doesn't ruin the game, but many combined do. What will things look like 1-2 years from now?

Why not have the Kraken Tentacle be made not to eat whips after it consumes 10 whips? This way it will still have an item sink but at the same time for people who want to use it for pvm and slayer. Then eventually it will become a good go to weapon for training slayer.

I honestly don't like the idea of it eating whips but think that there should be a item sink for them. Another way we could achieve this would be to make the Kraken Tentacle cursed to where your prayer to protect item wouldn't work on death when wielding a whip with the Kraken tentacle. So, then if a player is using it with a godsword or some other higher priced item they wont be able to protect it with prayer. Thus creating an item sink for more than just the whip. :D

plz plz plz change this feature that is a horrible idea.. it shouldn't be the whip that degrades it should be the tentacle after all you aren't adding a whip to the tentacle you are adding the tentacle to the whip.
