What's the point of releasing content that is largely useless (most of the prayers and the robes)? Just seems like a waste of time. Who's going to use pray pots (very expensive,) instead of energy pots or antivenoms (both cheaper), especially when multiple pray pot doses will be needed to counteract the venom when antivenom cures + gives timed immunity? What's the point of getting robes that are only incrementally more accurate than ahrims when magic is so accurate to begin with?

Can we please do something about the look of the 3rd age tools (master tier)? The value and rarity of the item is extreme, only a polished look would compliment it. At the moment both the 3rd age axe and pickaxe look WORSE than its lower dragon tier.

Not good enough 07 team.

I have no argument to whether or not the community wants the dragon platebody in game. I do have an argument for how it should come into the game and raids is certainly not it.

In short, the dragon chain and if added; the dragon platebody are only used as cosmetics and very rarely do i see a player actually using it for combat.

When i think of raids, i think of deep complex caverns with plenty of MOBs and multiple mechanics that need to be tackled with a skilled team. At the end of my run i would hate to see some random drop that is used on a cosmetic item to make a NEWER cosmetic item. Unless you make it very rare (which gives value based on rarity not demand) then it will be a couple mil **** tier drop.

Now, on to the other dragon items.

Dragon throwing axes? Can you say desperate niche fill? Honestly seems like you're reaching for this one.

Sure give it to us in raids. Better be in 100+ drops and coming from mid-high level mobs and not from main bosses.

Dragon short sword? Oh yay another niche pure weapon. Raid reward? lol no.

Better come from the highest MOB that isn't boss tier. I'd like to see it come from a new mob or slayer creature in a different area completely but whatever. Pures need stuff too; i get that.

I don't even know where to start with these prayers. Need a lot more solid figures on the prayer drain of the poison/venom absorbs and how the mobility prayer works. Rig/Aug are the only worthwhile prayers and they've been wanted for so long that it doesn't matter what the come through with. Raids, sailing, construction, hell i would do a master quest for them. I think most would.

GF insignias. The only raid worthy reward and well executed RS3 to OSRS conversion. Auras aren't bad, but they're not in the spirit of 07.

Mage armor is fine. The changes made were necessary and i think you have yourself a good reward.

Please listen to your high level PVM community.

The new robes are offically dead content. Ahrims will be more useful everywhere because it has both high magic attack AND is tanky. The only times then robes will be useful is if you are training magic through bursting/barraging or if you speed kill zulrah(which is not efficient). Ahrims robes is better for getting the most money for zulrah trips, singles pking (duo to defences) and any pvm where you are going to take damage.

I will vote no the current kodai robes, they will be worthless for normal use unless you make mage more relevant in pvming.

The new wand is not OP which some people say it is. Infact it's worse than the sotd in pvp. The wand is better for pvm.

Also what happened to the lvl 80 tank armour that has been mentioned for a while?

Make the wand the same magic accurate as the sot* otherwise the sot* completely useless.
The wand is still better because it will autocast ancients, saves water runes(inv spot) and saves runes for the cast.

Sotd is better in venomming the player/npc when charged.
This would make the new weapon mainly for pvm and the sot* for pvp.

Most players got an antivenom or serp helm in wildy anyways, the wand will be better in every single form. Zamorak boss is pretty dead already, dont make the most value item crash now.

Could you please maybe change the prayers?

It feels like only 3 of 6 prayers will be used, (Preserve, Augury and Rigour) maybe could add somting for melee also?
Would also be sweet if there was some "new" usefull combat prayer in pvp and pvm that require high prayer level but lower defence so more then mains can use this prayer. (thinking like zerks can use more stuff etc)

Elder Maul:
Stats are Ok but it should definatly be made slower than a godsword

Elder Wand:
Remove Melee Stats! Its a wand

*odai Robes:
These robes should be better than ahrims robes in every conceivable way or at the very least have higher magic attack and defence than Ahrims robes

Dragon Platebody:
Fine

Dragon Sword:
Fine, possibly consider just having the second special attack options as to keep d scim spec useful

Dragon Thrown axes:
I could see a few places these could be useful... maybe increase damage as well as stun when special is used

Forgotton Prayers:
Preserve: Not needed imo, would overcomplicate combat and stat regen times.
Poison absorb: Sure, why not.
Augury: Yes!
Divine grace: I have done the calcs comparing pray pots to super energy pots used, Yes
Rigour: Yes!
Venom absorb: I think this should just be combined with poison absorb as 1 prayer
