raise its attack requirement to what exactly?
80? 85? remember when chaotic weapons came out and all the pkers decided to get 80 attack....and keep 80 attack.
raising reqs changes nothing they will reach those reqs and wont go a single step over that if there able to train str with this new weapon at no extra cost sarasword will be almost useless.
if you raise the requirements too much then only mains will use it and whips will still drop in value alot over a small amount of time.

you can play a game for as long as you want with no new content ever but most people like changes and i can tell you now that your O.P weapons idea is pretty dumb considering we have dark bow/dragon bolts/dharocks/ags.
just means if we get 10% more mage we have an O.P mage weapon too.

Few thoughts/ideas / possibilities (some my own, some slightly edited from the players)
----
obviously, the name. Kraken Tentacle -> Kraken Whip.

special: toxify
possibilities:
-inflict the normal poison damage on each hit for 5 attacks, or do it like the vine whip, like, 5 ticks over 5 sec or whatever. Although, that would be hte same number every time. . . so idk, but I like an idea kinda like that.
or
-consume the poison damage already done in order to either heal you or damage the other player (would be a low % because poison ticks every 10 sec, and it is already refreshed like using a poisoned dagger). It would use 80% special bar (so balance it accordingly)

How Kraken Whip works:
--for all, kraken tentacle and a whip are dropped.
-tentacle consumes whip like already stated, but each time it does, the tentacle changes. It starts off as a normal Kraken Tentacle, but then becomes a Kraken Tentacle(1) (untradeable), 2, 3, until the 4th. At this point, it becomes a Perfect Kraken Tentacle, which can be equipped to a whip to make it permanent. Perfect Kraken Whip would be tradeable, but tentacle not. When a player dies with it, it is reverted to a 0 count tentacle again.
-Kraken Whip requires 4 whips to create and is permanent and tradeable.

Str training, Sara Sword, area/use:
-Kraken Whip is more for pvp and bossing because of the poison: poison makes the player deal more damage, but they don't get the xp. I don't care if it has a str option, because when people boss, it's not for the xp**** wouldn't be devalued ever if Kraken Whip was always degradeable. Or, maybe, it could have a str option, but put it on stab (give it stab bonus that is lower than slash). Hah, you'd poke people with a tentacle like with a sword on stab.

Totally agree with you, people were crying to have 07 back now 07 is here they keep pushing it out of the zone towards updates that completly change the real oldschool. People dont know what they want and it's just mixing up the good stuff into a dark hole. in a few years people will cry again to have 07. Just keep the game simple as it used to be .. it cannot please everyone yet it's how it used to be.

It is a delicate question. We need to keep OS as OS as possible but also we need to give it some new stuff to keep it from stagnating. The consensus of most people who have actually thought about this question for more than 20 seconds is to introduce new high level items which are not OP in either pvm or pking, and consume a lower level item in the process.

These are both very good ideas. They really surprised me.

Here are a few optional suggestions.

Kranken Tentacle.


Make it so the Kranken Tentacle
cannot be saved by the protect item prayer.
This way, IF people wanted to use the Tentacle in the wilderness they must be willing to risk 1m+. This would also give pkers an incentive to fight those who are using this powerful weapon.

Secondly, consider allowing it to be usable on other slayer items such as the trident, gmaul, and dbow. It would give these items a nice sink and raise their prices, as well as keep the Tentacle at a hefty price since it has so much use. You would just need to think of what bonuses it would give each item without making it too OP.

Lastly, instead of adding a 'str' feature, destroying the sarasword, perhaps allow the Tentacle to switch remove the lash feature, or remove the defense xp given with controlled so you only get attack and strength xp. This would be a big demand for pures, initiate pures, and berserker pures. I know a lot of people don't like pures BUT that would create a HUGE item sink without affecting the ss.

Smoke Devil.


Good drop. I approve. Consider adding a few more drops since it requires such high slayer? Perhaps barrows boots and a range amulet?

But make the range amulet rarer then the others because range is pretty OP as it is. Or don't allow the range amulet to be used with void.

Those are my 2 cents ^_^

Very good ideas, especially being able to use the tentacle on other slayer items, this will ensure that slayer remains profitable


Just thought of another idea. What if the smoke devil dropped a sarasword attachment?

Kraken drops a whip, d bow, trident attachment.

Smoke Devil drops a sarasword, gmaul, and I don't know obby maul attachment?

It might help the SS if people really want a str training option for whip.
