Un-nerf the Cursed Goblin bow so that we can get monsters aggro without dealing damage to them. This is extremely useful for a number of things including quests.

My level 3 / 10 HP community of 200+ will be in support of this. #zSkillers

I have been slaying for money on osrs since it first came out, and recently I have been killing the slayer only bosses for money. Over the last year, profits from high level slayer have decreased heavily. Here are some quick easy slayer boss updates that NEED to happen

Cerberus needs some much needed updates. Remove fire runes, ash, essence and holy symbol drop from cerberus. Cerb costs roughly 20k a kill in sharks and prayer potions even with spectral and to even get more than 2 kills an inventory, it takes endgame gear and stats. These drops need to be replaced with unnoted food and prayer potions from the way I see it, sort of how most gwd boss drops are. I would also love it A LOT if the osrs team could possibly make the colors on the souls brighter. Slight color blindness should not be a defining factor in whether you kill cerb or not. Not that I am too worried about this, but the soul/blood rune crash has killed profits for me at cerb and as a result I usually net a loss of around 5m-6m each cerb task.

Kraken needs either 3 additional caves, like cerberus, or a way to retrieve items on death during an instance, like zulrah. If a server crashes while killing Kraken in an instance, thats it for your items, and there is no way to get them back. People crash Kraken killers all the time and a majority of slayers have Kraken blocked just for this reason. Also, since blood and soul rune prices have nearly halved, Kraken makes a whole lot less gp per hour. Now that the runes are worth way less, I think its time we take the water runes, mist runes, bucket, and harpoon off the drop table, and replace them with items that do not lose money after the task is done.

Thermonuclear smoke devil has remained a decent slayer boss through out the updates, although after the soul rune crash, thermy profits are down. it would be nice to see the air runes, smoke runes and pure essence be replaced with food or potions just to help trips.

Ensouled head bag for slayer.

I just have one request

Can you please add at least 2 more calquat patches to the game to rebalance the price of them. This is coming from a person with 99 Farming. I think it is horrible they were added to the zulrah drop table. They are pretty much useless.

If 2 is really out of the question, please add 1 by the farming patch located on South East Kourend.

Make the game like RS3 but without the eoc, double xp, bonus xp, chests for keys, exaggerated afkable xp methods and all that other bs that made the game easy. I loved Runescape before all that stuff came out, esp the graphic updates, the curse prayers and so much more.

Also the pathing system needs work, I find myself attempting to speak to npcs through a brick wall. When I click in rooms and the door is closed my character takes a jog to the ends of the earth to a completely different area.

A lot aspects of OSRS are what makes the game great, like the combat might look bland but it is what makes the game special. There are also parts of the game where people think they enjoyed but that are annoying to deal with and now they're understanding maybe it's not what they wanted. I hope the devs choose some good quality of life changes for this game. I'm looking forward to what comes.

To add to this post, I did suggest a few weeks ago to allow a sort of "defensive stances"/Block to generate more aggression towards monsters so when you're tanking for a group the boss will prefer you as a target.

MULTIPLE GOD CAPES AND BOOKS. I really want to have the ability to buy more from per*u or get them from the mage bank as when you get pked for one its a pain to go get it back. Not sure if it requires engine work or not.




EDIT: ALSO PLACE HOLDERS?????

Get f2p wildy going again.

Lots of people quit f2p pking, because there is no teleblock. There is no challenge in pking when everyone has the possibility to tele away at any given moment. Try and vote again for teleblock to f2p and I'll bet the poll will pass. Bring back the excitement to f2p and lots of players will come back to rs!

A right-click 'Check' option for slayer helmet while it is inventory.

- Ability to use Tithe Farming mini-game teleport outside of Kourend.

- Left-click water for Tithe Farming and/or deplete watering can charges by their order in inventory if you have more than one watering can.

- Mix saltpetre + compost by their order in inventory. The current way it works can easily be bypassed with a mousekeys/ahk setup, which only hurts the players that play vanilla.

- A one-way high level agility (90+) shortcut from the entrance of Nieve's Stronghold Cave to the Blue Dragons end section.

A few suggestions:

A message for Ironmen, if a monster have already been attacked.
(Now you get 3 messages at the end of a fight, which is kinda useless - specially if you come to a boss that seems to have full hp and you use several minutes to fight it, just to find out you weren't there first, and just wasted time and ressources).


Oh, I almost forgot, an idea I already discussed with Mod Ash, which he saw some potential in:

Add some seeds to the Tithe Mini-Game shop (but make them expensive) and remove the charges on the Gricoller's Watering Can. I still see people taking a stab at it and calling it useless every time it's mentioned anywhere :(

+1 for the above, (something went wrong with quotations i took em out for readability)

Further on my own small note i would like to be able to logg out of the tithe minigame a rotation of a 100 seeds to grow 100 fruits takes about 25-35 minutes depending on how efficient you are. Right now if you would grow 80 fruits then have a disconnect for whatever reason you lose all your progress.
Besides that using fertilizer seems the same speed as planting twice the amount of seeds.

Presets, perhaps and maybe a gp sink to purchase more slots, since there is no Soloman store etc etc. But that would include adding menus, which may count as graphics?

Allow us to use any menu in combat, perhaps make a toggle in settings for it.
Some people like to plan their next quest or activity while training combat semi-afk.

Remove questions from stronghold of security after completion.

Monsters remain aggressive or at least aggressive for longer, but that probably wont ever pass.

Shanty pass could accept a straight payment of gp or be free after certain requirements. (similar to the Alkarid/Lumbridge gate)

Carried Wealth, Wealth loss on death, perhaps pick items to keep.

Make-all on everything.

POH Glory hitbox needs to be like 1000x bigger.

Nightmare zone boss selection. Relying on someone with the right quests is absurd.

Randoms should be kill-able and/or aggressive. Don't understand this dismiss business.
I want the skillers to die and drop their obby capes :D

Australian servers.

Right-click -> equip from bank.

An opt out option on polls possibly with a comment box

Coin pouch

A magic stick that will remove spam bots from the game.

Placeholders in banks

WSAD map, Enter to chat. Perhaps configurable for those that don't want it.
