I honestly rather it be 2x as rare as elites then having to go grind easy and meds please find another way. I think hard+elite sacrifice is enough

Hmm God Blessings...

May as well add a Pocket Slot to oldschool. Otherwise Rangers cannot use them.

Rangers gloves would be fairly pointless though. The reason why Ranger boots are good is because there's no other boots and the Body doesn't need def requirement. But gloves/chaps have 1 def. But if the goal is to eventually have a full Ranger set then go for it.

I have to agree with what Rising said, making a pet a random drop from a clue is just sadistic. I wholeheartedly agree that it should be a reward from doing x amount of clues of all tiers. Also, what about allowing god dhide to count as the color it is for emote clues? Seems like a minor thing that wouldn't impact much other than people not needing to have low tier gear. I'm not sure about hidey holes to begin with, maybe have only a few in central locations that can store any emote item for that level, instead of scattering them all around.

I'd like new useful clue items because Elites were basically trash full of cosmetics where only a few of them turned out to actually obtain significant value.
As for untradeable clue rewards, I think it's nice to have and my own suggestion would be black/white dye for the Robin armour set. :)

300+ Clues done

1) Not a fan of the lucky implings, the entire point of clue rewards is to get exclusive rewards from clue scrolls. If you're going to add lucky imps for free clue rewards for skillers, you might as well add rare clue trees and clue weeds and weird golden fish which you can hollow out/spline/dissect to get clue items for free instead of doing the clue.

2) Blessings taking place of the quiver slot sounds ok considering rangers who do god wars don't lose anything by wearing some cheap (read bandos d'hide cost <<< than bandos chestplate and is a lot better than bandos version of rune platebody), however it would be nice if it didn't have to take up the quiver slot, it would make much more sense to stick it on the ring spot since rings provide the smallest bonuses and aren't required.

3) Also not particularly a fan of the idea of needing to sacrifice lower level clue scrolls. In past experience I average better gains from easy clues than I do from elite clues. I most certainly average better gains from 1 easy + 1 medium clue over 1 hard clue. So if the scaling of reward for the Master is clue isn't exponentially better than any previous clue tier, then I have most likely just wasted time and money trying to get a master clue only to receive 60 fire lighters.

What I think would be a better way to handle is to make the player do an easy, medium, hard and elite clue and then talk to Watson (since all of these are tracked) and he acknowledges your mastery of clues and gives you a Master clue. This way you don't miss out on clue rewards, you actually have to do clue scrolls to get a master clue, and it feels more like progression rather than a sacrifice to the RNG gods of Runescape. (Plus this could be made retroactive to reward people in the past who have done a lot of clues of different levels ;) )

Edit: Is it possible to have a poll on this exclusively for people who do clues? (not determining, just to get info)

Consider also adding clue scrolls as a rare reward from random events. I definitely think that you can make what was a negative to something players look forward to. Currently, the rewards aren't worth it for anyone but the lowest level players.
