The rocks were changed because tbh we didn't like them. It's more difficult to tell what kind of ore it is. Plain simple and pragmatic is the way of Old RuneScape.

Also the mining animation looked very out of place, like something straight out of RSHD. Glad that got changed back too.

Honestly, the old dragons and demons looked awesome and, somehow, more threatening than the newer ones. Also older spawns would not have such a lag after dying to show their drops, which means the efficiency players out there may also be voting yes.

And btw the game looked its best in 2005. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

Can we add a spot of skeletal wyverns on fossil island, but behind an agility path that requires like 80 agility?

Slayer Requirement = 82

Agility Requirement = 82


That's what they should do to keep the drops valuable. Granite Boots are between Rune and Dragon, so naturally between 80 and 83 Slayer. Having an 82 Agility req makes sense as they could be in a place that is hard to reach. Putting a Slayer creature behind an additional skill requirement is a great idea for cutting down on supply without requiring an absurdly high level in one particular stat. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

The new wyverns are supposed to be weaker and less profitable than skeletal wyverns.

Making them require higher Slayer than 72 wouldn't make any sense.

The Wyvern Visage type drop is definitely too good for a 66 requirement... Granite Boots are also too good for 66 as Nechryaels ONLY unique drop is Rune Boots and they have an 80 requirement... idk what they are thinking with these. Long live the Wilderness.

I like the new magic shield, but maybe the shield should be tweaked a little bit or at least tweak the arcane so it can keep it's value, because the stats are so close to the arcane it pretty much makes the arcane kind of useless so it should definitely be tweaked :P

Other then that, i love it ^.^ :P
