Can we poll something to buff the kraken tentacle?
Letting people choose which will be lost would probably help equalise the prices over a long time, yes. Feels a bit odd to offer that choice, though it you could choose in advance it'd work from a tech point of view.

So it's in the abyss, I'm guessing the pkers will be out lookin for easy money. So you can potentially fight the abyssal sire skulled, can you pk others inside the bosses room?
It's not a PvP area any more than the Abyss is.
And you can get there without going through the Abyss.

While you're welcome to fight the Sire with a skull, that doesn't sound like a desirable activity.

I just watched a man with a skull die and I became very excited... his items never appeared and he came back 5 minutes later and retrieved them.

This is quite an update i wonder if this is going to be very helpful to pkers seems like dragon claws to me but less over powered i'd say with the abyssal dagger that is.
We'll see how it goes. It's certainly less powerful than dragon claws.

When is the Halloween event coming 2 weeks from now.
No date set, but I'd have imagined 3.

A response is much appreciated Jmods.
For what it's worth, when there are more questions than I'm going to be able to answer, I don't necessarily prioritise the ones where the player's said "please reply".

Yes, that's from the extra item protection measures we put into the game during the DDOS attacks. As you'll have seen from last weekend, it's not yet time to take those measures back out, though players have increasingly been asking about when we'll do that.

About crowding...

We've not instanced this boss, like we didn't instance Cerberus. So you will likely have to queue a bit for a Sire. If we'd instanced it, so that everyone could go grind on a Sire as fast as possible, the drops would come into the game far too fast, and would lose value very rapidly. In the case of Cerberus, a couple of weeks after launch the overcrowding had largely vanished; we expect this to be similar. So yes, you may find this a bit frustrating at the moment, but hopefully it'll make the content worthwhile for a longer time.

That will probably NOT be the case for the Abyssal Sire Mod Ash. You have to keep in mind Cerberus is level 91 slayer, which is nearly DOUBLE the experience required for 85 Slayer, this obviously means more than THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of players can kill the Sire, meaning it likely be crowded for a long, long time.... you need to give us the option of instancing it IMO.

Understood. There's also the issue that we're limited in how many NPCs we can spawn in an instance like that; the Sire fight uses quite a lot of NPCs. Anyway, I appreciate that you feel it's needed.
