Hey Old School Team :)

I love the dev blog as I would like to see slayer be moved out of Nieve's cave and relocated all across Runescape.

However I feel locking a new slayer weapon (Enchanted Slayer's Staff) behind whether or not a new slayer master passes a poll feels a bit unnecessary. As well as this the way of obtaining the new staff, is again a bit odd.

I think upon passing a poll, the new slayer staff should be acquired via:

A one time cost of 500 Slayer Points to "acquire the knowledge of enchanting a slayer's staff"

To create a Enchanted Slayer's Staff will require: 55 crafting, 1 Slayer's Staff & 1 Saradomins Light (or another more fitting item) - this will create a Enchanted Slayer's Staff (empty)

The staff would then be able to charge with slayer dart runes up to 2500 casts.

Thanks for reading.

1) I think most of this is a really good idea, although, my two biggest concerns are these: Ease of access and safe spots. I feel like Nieve's cave is a great place to train because many monsters are easily safespotted like bloodvelds for example; and a slayer ring literally teleports you right in front of the cave. I do like this idea, but these are things to be taken into consideration. I'll definitely vote yes if you guys throw in a few safe spots here and there and maybe add these places as additional slayer ring teleport locations, since that is the point of the ring. Adding the new teleportation locations would make the eternal slayer ring even more valuable.

2) Amazing wilderness master idea too, but it should be worth the risk players take to venture into the wilderness. There should be much incentive.

3) I like the idea of the eternal slayer gem, it gives players more incentive to kill monsters in pursuit of it, and the fact that it'd be tradeable would make it a highly sought after item. Similar to the imbued heart. The lucky person getting it could be made rich .

4) Lastly, I absolutely love the idea of a skotizo helmet and pet. It'd be something great to show off, especially considering the fact that skotizo isn't something that you can easily farm. This pet would probably be an iconic symbol associated with slayer.

I want to know if you will ever bring back Brimestone and have it as a Slayer based civilization like mentioned at Runefest a while ago. This would be a great chance to add it. You could also add more slayer creature locations to Zeah. Krakens near Piscarilius or just off the shore anywhere on Zeah. The Chasm of Fire is great for Demons. You could even split up the Catacombs creatures into more dungeons all over Zeah.

This stuff looks great, really hope yall run this poll. Been waiting for skoitizo pet. I think his artwork is too amazing to not have one. If people are going to complain about to many pets then we shouldnt have done skilling pets if anything. Keep up the good work.

Also, with the understanding that the Wilderness Tasks can only be completed in "the wilderness" is that actually "The wilderness" or "the wild" as in, can I go on w325 and do my slayer task for anukos at the security stronghold for example? Or does it have to be the ones out in the actual WILDERNESS, like pass the "borders".

PS. Anyone complaining about pets... unless you have all 32... shutup.

HUGE fan of this possible update.

"Once upon a time, you'd find yourself in many different parts of Gielinor for each assignment. More recently, however, you are likely to end up in Nieve's Stronghold Dungeon for most of your tasks."

Mod Ronan took the words right out of my mouth. Nearly everyone training Slayer just goes in and out of the cave all day to get new tasks. Where is the fun in that? Explore the world!

With the proposed
Wilderness Slayer Master
, more people will be there, which should lead to an increase in the risk and excitement (and PKing) the Wilderness has to offer.

Way to go, Jagex! :)

Please make Neive's cave look like GentleTractor's design on reddit. Also you should use his ideas for Karaken and Thermonuclear dungeon placement, it would make more sense . Should also poll a questions for adding teleport to new places or people will vote no just because they want easyscape.

Really like most of these ideas! Just have two questions for now. The first is mostly a suggestion and the second is a question for players to keep in mind when voting:

I've made the assumption KQ will be moved with the other kalphites into the new lair, but would it be a good idea to move the BIQ fairy ring to a more relevant location in relation to the new lair?

Secondly, how will these poll questions effect slayer xp/hr and slayer points/hr?

I really like how some of these ideas diversify slayer in a pretty well-balanced way and will be voting yes to a lot of them. :P
