You want to make an "old school" feel, but you are literally taking the zenyte eqiupment idea from Rs3. It is literally a Blood amulet of fury with better melee stats with the recharge of the amulet of souls. This is supposed to be different than Rs3, not just changing the name and hoping that no 07 player will realize that Rs3 already has this. Come on Jagex.... you guys know we want different content yet you keep trying to use content in Rs3. Also, have you thought about not adding BIS every time you want to add something. Obviously, you guys missed the firecape 2 polls.

It's funny watching people complain every time new equipment is suggested. nobody wants new BiS gear, but then when a new item is suggested and its not BiS people complain its going to be dead content. theres just no pleasing people.

On a side note, this game isn't meant to remain 07rs. The only reason it was made is because EOC ruined the main game, a ton of players quit, and they needed a way to get them back. If we don't get new gear, quests, and content in general the game won't grow and will die off. you are going to have to accept the fact that over the years this game isn't going to be like 07 anymore.

My thoughts:

All zenyte jewellery requires 75 Hitpoints to equip - whatever, doesnt affect me

Ballista weapons - javelins are useless like a lot of content, they're not gonna change with these.

Ring of Suffering - Niche market, meh

Necklace of Anguish - Yes please, but why cap the damage at 48-48, gmaul can hit 40-40-40 and it's not capped.

Tormented Bracelet - Cool, but people are gonna ask a ranged bracelet like this one just like we have occult and now planning on adding necklace of anguish.

Amulet of Torture - Theres no need for it fury is really good as it is.

Zenyte's passive - **, don't see it passing.

Access for pures not gonna pass either, it's a grandmaster quest, as pures they have to accept they're not gonna be able to access all the game content out there.

Good thing you've reduced the bracelet's mage bonus. +15 was ridiculously high. It's now more reasonable, but we can not keep getting these damage boosts. If we do, the exact same thing that happened in pre eoc is going to happen here: mage becoming dominant in PvP. It has superior accuracy, higher dps in PvP , better damage consistency and superior utility. This has to be accounted for.

Another 5% damage is ok, but no more after this unless more significant tradeoffs are present such as reduced casting distance, reduced accuracy, etc.

It's nice that you're also finally (potentially) addressing range's lack of variety as their KO options are extremely limited. I suspect that the ballista will be a bit tricky to balance though, so hope it's done right.

But what about mages? Our only viable equipment choices is SoT* and Ahrim's. Nothing else is viable. When will this issue be addressed? If ballista passes, we will be the only one's who hasn't gotten a weapon update in a while.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

Wow, looks awesome. Will we be able to use the uncharged jewelry with the base stats but without the healing effect?
Yep. If you want the healing effect, you charge it with onyx gems.

So one onyx gem will charge it for 10k hits?

OT: Not sure if I like the looks of the new crossbow, but the concept of it is awesome. Also love the amulet's 15 range bonus, been waiting to see something to replace the amulet of ranging. But for the +5 range strength and +5% magic bonus, highly necessary. At least I don't want to see new max hits in the game, it's easy enough already to rush people for max HP with good RNG using barrage to dbow or barrage to ags-gmaul. About the healing effect - not sure how I feel. Don't really want that in the game but it's such a low chance and even lower percentage of healing, especially for the cost of an onyx, I think it'd be okay.

Also, you need to complete Monkey Madness in order to wield a Dragon scimitar, why wouldn't you need to complete the quest in order to use these items? This will mean a lot of people who don't like questing wont do it. I feel you should have to complete the quest to be able to use the items.

1) Ballista's looks great. i'd love to see those big two handed range weps in the game

2) Make it accesable for level 1 pures to do the Monkey Madness Part II

3) The Amulet of Tortune is unessacery we do not need new BIS strength equipment.

PLEASE don't make this another Nomad where it is practically impossible for the average player to kill the boss with the requirements to needed start it. Quests are much more important than creating a new boss. They allowing players to enjoy the advancing story-line of the game and, as such, completion should be somewhat assured if a player meets the minimum requirements to start it. That being said, if you go with the impossible boss kill anyway, please create some way that skillers can make / purchase something, (like Holy Water for Legends), that allows for killing the boss with less than super-skill. That doesn't mean that being able to purchase / create whatever it is should be cheap or easy, but it should be available.
