Range has nothing but an armadyl crossbow to play with.

I'd like to see something for Range, melee has already received four godswords and a spear, magic received its trident and now you want to give it a necklace - range got like +10 accuracy on a rune crossbow.

Why not a level 75 bow? Crystal bow is considered a joke by many, and far outclassed by armadyl crossbow.

I also don't like the special attack of the kraken tentacle. Increased chance to poison is lacklustre, and a 5 second bind seems kind of awkward to have on a melee weapon.

Binds have been done already, let's make it a little bit more unique.

ok we got kraken then we gotta go to the wildy for the other one yeah good looking out. so we basically got one new monster the other one was ripped off by the wildy rejuvenation because no one in their right mind is going to do that monster and get killed by pk clans, unless they are with a pk clan protecting them. For real though, where are the real slayer updates we voted on monster that was going to be in rs proper not the wildy the first poll asked about new monsters and us to vote on the it didnt say crap about the wildy until you threw that other poll up. just to make pkers happy.

in short, you get to make money but for one task only pkers will make money for the other task after pjing you after a monster kill. Even simpler terms: one update for slayers the other for pkers but they want slayers to think its for them.

PS: ATTN to JMOD
Also i paid for more aviansies and duradel havent assigned them yet and i will need to have my points refunded or the problem fixed. he havent even assigned a dust devil yet. I do have a quest cape and have full access to every task. He havent assigned many task just the same old dragons sp warriors abs specs gargs nechs and the occasional brine rat oh yeah he loves noob task like mogres and cave horrors. but no real variety if i got duradel as a master he need to be able to assign everything he is the highest slayer master for crying out loud!! if you can you can review my slayer log i wish i had a number for dragons i would be at like 10k probably by now and ab specs are up a lot too probably like 4k now, but if u think im bs-ing, check out my character for task.

Hopefully it'll get a strength training option, then there would be demand for it

The Saradomin sword would suffer as a result but we can certainly do it.

Dont do that the Sara sword is suffering enough

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.
Exactly this. Either make them pvm only or you're killing pking, AGAIN.

I like the idea of instead increasing the ranged strength on the Armadyl crossbow, I think it doesn't have any max hits over the rune crossbow which makes it more of a bonus for high level PvM rather than a necessity (and a bow worth 18M should be a necessity over one worth 20K).

I saw on Reach's twitter that you guys were going to be polling both magic and ranged amulets...what happened to the ranging one?

Quit whining honestly, what makes you not able to get the kraken tentacle? Your slayer level? Buy one off us slayers then.

Are there any words on the slayer reqs for the new bosses?
I've always wanted to see new drops at dust devils, Maybe you could allow dust devils to drop wild pies? Just a thought, they are quite useful in my opinion and at 10k each, nobody can afford to pay that much to boost slayer.

Agreed.
Good points tbh

I think I would have prefered bringing back the old whip special attack (max hit or 0) with this upgrade and keep the stats the same. Maybe increase the special % to 60% or something so it's not completely overpowered.

I do like the idea of it bring degradable though as it will bring whips back to a respectable price rather than being worth pennies, but not sure if it's worth the cost of bringing OP weapons back into the game.

I like all the drops.

My suggestion would be to keep the whips training methods. (i.e: only trains attack, defense, and shared xp). Adding str training to the mix isn't fair to the sara sword. Also, I would like to see the new whip deal 10k hits before disappearing.

In my opinion, it would still cause a sink for whips which would keep them stable while justifying the purchase of adding the tentacle.
