Can we see mockups of what the occult necklace, staff of the dead special attack, kraken tentacle and steam battlestaff will look like? (similar to the ones we've already been shown for graceful outfit/dragon pickaxe)

Regarding Iban's staff - can we poll the option to allow it to autocast Iban blast as well? Potentially requiring a further upgrade/etc.

Original message details are unavailable.
NO to all graphical updates, in this version of the game i can recognise (most) items as they are.
The current pink graceful looks horrible, dragon items have always been about looking cool when they came out, and the current dragon pick is just a recolored rune pick. Kraken tentacle looks more like a unicorn horn etc. It said nothing about updating any actual oldschool items. I can't see any logic in your objection at all.

The Rare Pet Question:


Yes,

There should be an Abyssal Demon pet too. However for Abyssal Demons and the Kraken there's already useless drops they give that are very rare (Abyssal Demon head and the Jar of dirt). I know you can mount the head on your house but nobody bothers. It should just require you to give x amount of that item to a nearby NPC in order to get the pet. (2-3 Jars of Dirt / 5 Abyssal Demon heads?) Maybe you could give the required items to a Slayer Master and it could also require 1-2K Slayer Points on-top of the items in order to get the pet to make it rarer? Points need more use.

This makes it a little more fair for people who have killed a lot of them since release. It's annoying to kill so many and then have something like this released and have someone get it quickly without having to previously kill many. However I guess this could be said for the other pets. But who really camps them other than the GWD bosses?

However that could just my opinion since I've killed over 3,000 Boss Krakens with the drop rate being 1:1.2k for a Tentacle or whatever it was then it being changed to 1:400 or 1:200 whatever it is now without being polled which was frustrating and now they're cheap as. Jar is 1:1k drop rate? Also I've logged 16,000+ Abyssal Demons on my Slayer Log from 94-99 Slayer and I've easily done double that Pre-Slayer Log update. Head is 1:6k drop rate.

I think it'd be fair seeing how killing 1,000 Boss Krakens takes a long time as you have to be on task + have a high slayer level & obtain multiple jars in order to do so.

I think it would also be fair for Abyssal Demons as the head is very rare to obtain. Yeah it's easier to access and kill them but it could just require a large amount of heads to get. I don't know how many people have 5+ Abyssal Demon heads. (You will most likely have to kill about 30K Abyssal Demons @ 1:6k per head. This is about 23,850,000 Combat Xp for 5 Heads. Rare enough?)

Yay or Nay?

Moonchild's idea seems quite nice - can we have the pet question split into multiple questions as well? E.g. "Do you want pets from the DKS?", "Do you want pets from the GWD Generals?", "Do you want a pet from the KQ?", etc.

In last twitch stream you guys said you would add super combat potions to next poll?

Torstols need more use, currently they only hold value due to their farming experience. Who in the right mind would make zamorak brews?
