The description of how the tome of fire works is rather confusing. It sounds like it would provide infinite fire runes only when charged to any level, but always provide the damage buff even uncharged. It actually seems to function the opposite way, and it's a bit ridiculous how rare the burnt pages are.
I received 13 pages from 50-85 firemaking on my ironman. How fucking useless is this book if I get to shoot a mere one thousand casts from getting 99 firemaking entirely at Wintertodt?
It would make sense to me if the drop rate of the pages were significantly increased by several times. Another option would be making it always have the damage buff, but need pages to provide fire runes like it sounded from the original description.

Why can't the leaf-bladed battleaxe be 50 attack? As are all of the other Leaf-bladed weapons?

This has made me sad as someone who is 50 attack with a choice of only ancient staff/ granite maul and leaf-bladed sword.

This would have been amazing if the requirement was 50 attack, 65 slayer.

Please explain this to me?

The idea is that using a t50 weapon is pretty annoying for higher levels, and makes the tasks a lot slower than other tasks - this offers a higher tier weapon, which should make those tasks a little better for higher level players.


Hi,

Is there anyway you can make it a t50 Weapon for consistency but allow higher level players to perform an upgrade on it through Slayer Points/semi-rare obtainable item to increase it's use beyond 50 Attack?

This would
a) Provide consistency with the existing t50 Requirement for Leaf-Bladed Equipment
b) Another Slayer Point sink / Drop / however else you'd introduce the upgrade-able Leaf-Bladed Battleaxe.



Really looking forwards to hunting down some of those Superior Slayer mobs on both my main and my 50 Attack Pure ;-)

Thanks as always!
Nick

(Edit 1: Missed the quote for Kieren's post)

A response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Nick

Would it be possible to get a reply today?

Thanks.
Nick

I'm not sure about the other drop rate changes yet, but the changes to the nechryaels are a excessive imho... 6 snapdragon seeds in less than 200 kills, 10 rune 2h's, rune full helms, etc etc.. At first I was excited about getting this many drops but now I'm worried about how it's going to affect the market. It's good to see their drop table updated, but I think the frequency of the valuable drops needs to be reduced.

After doing some slayer yesterday and this morning i've come to the thoughts that this is pretty disappointing, especially in the fact that you can make 1mil at a 180 kurask task with constant decent drops (Even with stuff going down because of this update), yet a monster such as abyssal demons - while it has a superior encounter it's primary drop is just the whip which is at a very very big low... 100 kills into an abyssal task i have had 2 abyssal ensouled heads and no other decent loot, yet on a gargoyle task of 150 i had a runite item every ten kills with supplies to boot... not to mention the flow of cash that will be coming into the game due to just throwing in 10k coin stack drops. Not even 10,543 or something but straight up 10,000.... that seems really REALLY lazy to me.

It simply makes no sense to me have a task such as kurasks, or dust devils which I consider a lower level task to give more gp\hr over time than monsters like abyssal demons dropping things like black axes and steel battleaxes and the rare shot of a 1.7m whip, half of what it used to be for a casual slayer anyway.

My point shortened: I enjoy updates like this being quality of life and bringing life back into older content but instead of leaving most of the skill dry and polishing SOME aspects of it, why didn't you re-assign different drop table loots to higher tiered monsters and actually balance it in the way it should have been? (Scaled in a linear way)

Just feels like you could have done much, much more. Please consider some adjustments, from a person who's amassed 33million slayer experience on this account and my alt. It's probably my favorite skill in terms of gameplay and chilling out, and as I said while I did enjoy that you added monetary value to some of the more off putting tasks - i don't feel you payed attention enough to how you scaled it and what the higher levelled monsters give to us who earned those levels. It's just a bit too much.

Thank you.

Awesome updates. I'm happy with the Blast Furnace update, no more clans running it.

I have one question, how long till the drop rates for the new pets are out? I been farming agility pet since level 77 and I'm at 96 now. It's kind of demotivating and depressing lol.

Seems to be a lot of disapproval for the tick-eating Veng, try make a separate thread with feedback on it with reasons why it should be reverted back to how it was (even if it may seem obvious to you) to try get their attention and discuss changing the update back.
