I highly disagree with the insignias, and the robes, magic is already strong enough in the game in that it can handle whatever pvm boss or monster requires it, ahrims robes along with eternal boots, an arcane spirit shield, and a toxic staff, staff of the dead, or swamp trident, are all together more then enough in magic.
The insignias prove themselves to be way to closer to an rs3 item, we shouldn't be trying to add more things into the game to make bossing easier. the prayers are a very interesting idea and I like those, but this still needs a lot of re thinking,

A lot of players seek cosmetic changes rather then, "NEW OVER POWERED STUFF, COME KILL THINGS FOR DROPS TODAY"

Maybe some form of slowly collected tokens as a semi-rare/uncommon drop could be collected and traded in at a small outpost in the caverns for scrolls or things to cosmetically change our current god wars dungeon armour's.

There has been a discussion about the OPness of void range, even before the Heavy Ballista was released. Still there had to be a weapon in the ranged category that could ''match'' the power of the ags? Now we are adding a prayer that throws the power of rangers to the skies (+not to mention, void ranger accounts are fairly easy and fast to create?) Would this be more ''balanced'' if you added a prayer that would boost melee stats (such as Turmoil from PRE-EOC)?

It takes all of that? Melee can get by with just a torso, d boots, b gloves and tent whip or bandos, which is still cheaper than all of that. A arcane alone is close to 2 bandos sets.

Magic has to progress alongside everyone else. I agree that the robes stats are not the best approach, but mage does need something.

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

Sure magic needs to progress, but adding new robes isn't the answer, if a better tiered magic robe was added it's just a matter of time until people want a d hide or armour thats better,

the whole point of this is to NOT add a copy of Nex drops from rs3.
We aren't trying to re create tor*a, pernix, and virtus gear.

If you want something new for magic, maybe there could be something added thats like magic penetration, like maybe, an enchantment for all of the staffs that would be applied to them through a scroll and maybe be lost after a X amount of casts, that would ignore a percentage of the targets magic defence.

I.E: you attack a player and he has 150 magic defence, but your enchantment lowers it to 120 before every attack is casted.

I doubt something like that would be easy to code but its certainly possible.

It can't just be, "oh they want a mage update" IGHT NEW ROBES.

Dragon Equipment should be a reward from quests not mini-games . At the very least it should be restricted to bosses or clue rewards. If this minigame ever goes dead then axes the the rewards will be very limited. Not a desirable aspect of a consumable item like throwing axes .

Original message details are unavailable.
but adding new robes isn't the answer, i

Magic is currently limited to Ah as being the only viable choice..so yeah, new robes are certainly needed. Just now in the way Kodai is done.

Magic is already the most accurate skill so your idea of a penetration mechanic for it would be quite gamebreaking btw.
