I like the tier system idea more for the new whips

Original message details are unavailable.

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

Something similar to this.

I like all of the ideas, however, i'm disappointed you've now added a strength option for the whip to the poll. This is something I really wouldn't like to see as the saradomin sword will become unnecessarily redundant. However, if that's what the majority want i'll take it on the chin.

EDIT: Just realized this strength option would only be for the tentacle (to early to function yet.. *yawn*), and thinking about it that's actually a pretty fair idea!

The strength only attack style does have its own question and is only for the new abyssal tentacle, no changes to the whip.

Voting no for this because I find it unfair that rich people can train strength in a really fast way while us poor people have to use a SS/dscim because we can't afford to lose a whip after every 6.6 hours of combat.

Time to buy a whip then vote to increase its value yes? Oops did I say that out loud? :P
I bought my whip when it settled around 2m then crashed. I hope this will bring 'em back up again.


@ Mod John C
, what is your (OSRS Team) plan to get rid of those pesky w1 trading bots, who have a huge advantage over any real player trying to trade? Useful clanchats:

Guaranteed bind, high chance of poison sounds good at 50%, leaves lots of special power to combo into another weapon as well.

Im a big fan of the Abyssal whip eating part! The tricky question is the number of hits we get. Too low and it wont be used much, too high and it wont have the affect on "item sinking" whips we are hoping for. If 5k hits = 500k xp that would translate to 2.6gp/experience. Isn't that lower than chaotic weapons? The strength training + bonus strength alone seems to make it worth it at that point.

Saradomin Sword would be the cost-efficient solution or could possibly receive a buff? Maybe a different special attack or lower special attack power per spec.

So what would happen if I was to use the new whip in PVP and I died with one item prayer on?

Would I keep the full new item or drop the tentacle/whip? (whichever one has lower alch value)

You might think it's a good idea for one of the items to be dropped but this would lower the demand for it DRASTICALLY - it would be pretty much dead content.

How many people are going to use it while skulled for only one extra max hit? It would be half as good as a zerker ring (i) and assuming the price of the tentacle is around 2m or so, it would be around the same price.

You have to look at how many people pk in basic gear and then how many people risk over 1m. It's probably a 10:1 ratio and the demand just isn't going to be there for the tentacle if it's dropped on death for only one extra max hit.

This update would likewise rarely be used for PVM since that's mainly an activity for profit; it should mainly be aimed at the pking community but it's going to be dead content straight away if people are going to have to risk in excess of 1m to use it.

Just my thoughts on it, otherwise I like the idea.
