My two cents? TAKE. YOUR TIME. WITH UPDATES. PLEASE.

1. Hold off on "auras." The MMO isn't at this stage yet. If you bring in new content like this too fast, many people won't understand it and will leave because of it.
1a. Prayers are RuneScape's version of auras, please do not bring in RS3-based content to OSRS. Ammo is ammo, auras are not ammo.
1b. Introduce other prayers in place of these auras; the new prayers seem pretty lazy and weak.

2. New prayers should not be tradeable. This devalues the purpose of raiding, as anyone can avoid the content altogether by just purchasing it from another player who's done the hard work.
2a. Anti-venom and anti-poison prayers are useless in that players who want to avoid venom/poison effects just bring a potion or have the gear.
2b. Run energy prayer will just devalue stamina potions.
2c. Rigour and Augury should be consistent with each other; if one provides a defence bonus, the other should, too.


3. The robes seem too underpowered for what is supposed to be "end-game" content. Void mage offers a substantial bonus at higher levels compared to these robes, and they hardly surpass Ahrim's set.
3a. I suggest making the set an 80-85 requirement, a slot that has not yet been filled. This will allow for higher tiered equipment to arrive in the future, but to not create new, dead content.

4. The dragon platebody does make sense, but not from the new raids. Flavor wise, it is inconsistent with the rest of the game's dragon drops.
4a. New cosmetics are being introduced with Master clues, raids should not offer 'cosmetics' like the platebody, that only rich, high level players will wear to show off their wealth.

5. The dragon sword is, surprisingly, a fitting item for what lacks in dragon weaponry, but at this rate, you might as well add the dragon crossbow, hasta, and the dragon kiteshield as well. (Which I am by no means in support of.)

In conclusion:

TAKE. YOUR TIME. WITH UPDATES. PLEASE.

Why not make the dragon platebody be seperated into 2 pieces? Like the bludgeon, you would require 3 pieces to make the platebody: a dragon chainbody , and 2 additional pieces coming from raids. And then, you could only make it on a special furnace/anvil with a high smithing requirement?
That would make it more valuable and would be a nice thing in my opinion.

This please. I see no reason to devalue the chain further, adding pieces to upgrade it would be best imo.

- As some guy mentioned I agree this would mean that the dragon chainbody would not become useless either, although maybe just having 1 additional drop from raids to add to the chain body.. As for the special furnace, wouldn't this be a nice excuse to open the mithril door by the dragons?

Make it so that the dragon plate body requires dragon chain body to make, otherwise your just devaluing previous content and making it even more dead than it already is. Might aswell give d chain more use.

I cannot emphasize enough how logical and important it is to keep up the pattern of utilizing preexisting items for newer items. We need more support for this concept. Please Jagex.

P.S.- Sorry for poor editing, I'm still new to this. :)

Dragon plate needs to be made from dragon chainbody this is perfect opportunity for a dragon chain sink. Have the raid give you a dragon platebody shard and with 90 smithing and 3 dragon chains you make the platebody.

As for the dragon plate itself it needs to be best in slot. Barrows will be easier to obtain and cost less. Give dragon plate hp bonus or better overall stats we don't need cosmetic gear nobody is going to buy aside from looks.

Everything looks good to me, let's hope it passes :)

I love the idea that the plate body needs to be made rather than dropped. This idea will also add a perfect sink for the dragon chain body. To make the plate body something rather than a cosmetic item is to add a set bonus for the dragon set. example ( Dragon pl8, dragon full helm, and dragon legs or skirt.) The set bonus will provide a slightly better defensive bonus over the current BIS bandos set. To balance dragon defensive stats out with bandos is add a negative str bonus to the set. Another suggestion is to add a higher defensive requirement for the dragon pl8 so maybe 75 or 80. Kinda like they did with primordial boots they require 75 but dragon boots only require 60.
