Almost everything sounds great, in terms of the insignias however, these could be absplutely gamechanging... If the insignias were rare enough and untradeable so players have to get them on their own, they may pass a poll but if they are tradeable I would not be voting for them.

Some of the prayers seem redundant, people can just use anti venom without having to waste prayer potions, and the effects of regular poison are not very devastating to need to use prayer in place of HP. Seeing a prayer less OP than soulsplit would be nice at 95-99prayer, and also adding deflection prayers to enhance a players desire to get 90+ prayer would be a nice way to fill the void after lvl 70prayer.

Insignias - literally a copy of the auras from rs3 idea, no thanks. We don't need stats and effects added to the ammo slot. Also, why is there one for range? Literally makes it useful ONLY with blowpipe? Derp.

Prayers - Scrolls should be untradeable, and should be a reward for completing the raids so that people like void pures can't just go buy a new OP prayer without setting foot in a raid. If you want some of the best raid rewards, then do the raid. (Obviously this does not apply to the oh-so-sensible Dragon items from raids, smh)

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.

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

The concept of using lower tier gear for higher gear helps keep a strong economy and gives purpose to older content. We need to keep up this trend Jagex. Please do something like this. PLEASE!

I prefer the ahrims as max mage to new robes, the ahrim robes are just so oldschool. We gotta keep those our pking vids

And I dislike new prayers, why make magic and ranged stronger, they are strong enough as is.

I concur.

Also, seeing something like new untradeable god pages would be nice, allowing each of god books to have imbue abilities so they serve a greater purpose for high level players.
If this were the case, allow players to read each god book with the corresponding combat style to imbue each of the shields/Defenders.

In order to access the ability to imbue players would be required to have 6 total pages in their godbook.

Hi, I'll just post my thoughts that would "improve" the rewards so they don't devalue the current ones in the game at the moment.

#1. either kodai robes need to degrade at a faster rate than ahrim robes OR they'll be untradeable. Either way only 75 magic? It should be AT LEAST 80-85. Defense can stay the same.

#2. The dragon sword's special makes it better than the dragon "longsword". It's weaker, so it should be weaker. There should be no way to bypass melee prayer as nice as it would be...leave that to veracs.

#3. dragon throwing axes seem fine, but the question is will ava's device work on them? Otherwise they're not worth it imo.

#4. just having the platebody introduced like this like the dragon sword is a bit unusual, but perhaps you receive "platebody part 1 or 2" use them on a d chain you purchased and you can make the platebody? The parts should be untradeable and require high smithing such as 88?

#5.divine grace seems useful only if the drain rate is much lower than the drain rate of run energy even with full set of graceful.

#6.piety is lvl 70 prayer, so augury and rigour should be too.

#7. there are still 2 more prayers missing for magic and ranged. Melee also has chivalry for lower level players, where are the equivalents for magic and ranged?

#8. With new mage robes, melee armor(platebody), where is a ranged reward that isn't a prayer/insignia(magic/melee get those too)?

#9. insignias: kabe insignia has 10% chance to heal 50% damage of damage received. With the low chance to activate this seems like the most reasonable % as 100% would be end game content imo.

#10. insignias: as much as I feel this wouldn't go well with the game atm...if they are introduced for sure, they MUST be untradeable, AND degrade like barrows(same rate) to "broken state" and can only be repaired in a POH armor stand for 1m flat, or 500k if 99 smithing? Oh and the Benkei prayer is worthless, it should be at least +1 prayer, -prayer is worthls

1. The robes aren't bad, but I ask that they be made to reduce Melee attack to make them more like Armadyl chestplate and chainskirt. Also, part of me worries it's taking away oldschool from oldschool. Ahrims robes are a key symbol of what oldschool is.

2. A lot of this could be behind quests or otherwise. I feel like you're wasting a lot of opportunities just on a prayer that people will do raids when any of these alone would probably give them some popularity. Many people have suggested these things be behind quests and to dump it all into raids just seems wasteful.

3. Benkei insignia is overpowered. It makes Peity far too strong. This heightens the max hit of tentacle even more. This needs to be avoided. Also, the heightened defenses of insignias worry me a bit. Tacking on a little defense here and there constantly as you are with the ring of suffering buff will eventually and inevitably catch up to the game. Then at the same time, you're moving toward RS3 by making equipment more complicated. Ammo slot should be for ammo as far as I'm concerned. The 1 prayer bonus god blessings are okay, but insignia would have real effect on the game.

I like the prayers quite a bit and would enjoy them being in the game. However I'll vote no to everything else, or to the entire thing if it's done as one.

Sorry not here to argue, only to point out that it clearly states that the range one can store ammo so that it can be used with weapons other than the blowpipe.
