Can you make the option to add Runite Dragons as POH treasure room bosses at 99 construction a reward for beating the quest?
That would be icing on the cake. It could look something like this (pretend it's a runite dragon):



But anyway, this is easily the best update proposed at this Runefest:
-Two new quests, one of them being grandmaster and the other F2P.
-A sequel to Dragon Slayer
-A repeatable, high-level dragon boss
-Adamant and runite dragons (
please be new POH monsters, PLEASE be new POH monsters
)
-A P2P area that locks rewarding content behind quests, reducing botting
-A F2P area that locks rewarding content behind quests, reducing botting even more
-A new, useful rune type that can only effectively be obtained by high-level skilling, rewarding players for grinding runecrafting (and because it's locked behind quests, it can't be botted easily).

The Myths guild sounds nearly perfect with what information is currently given, but it would be great to have more information about the dungeon containing the dragons.

How far away from a bank will the Mythical ring's teleport be? I don't believe an unlimited teleport obtained from a quest should be the closest teleport to a bank (currently Crafting guild holds that title). If it is/will be the closest teleport to a bank I think it would be best if it needed to be charged - even if the charges are very easy to obtain/buy. That would make it a bit more balanced.

Superior antifire potions seem a bit too strong giving complete immunity to fire breath as it would allow for any shield to be used or even something like Twisted bow being an even more viable option for dragons. On the other hand, making them only, say, stop most damage from fire breath would make them dead content. Personally, I don't see a way of this potion being balanced with its current offering.

What is the reasoning behind the level 95 Runecraft requirement for wrath runes? Since the surge spells are a step up from the wave spells it would make more sense for the requirement to come somewhere between blood runes and soul runes, perhaps 85. The 95 Runecraft requirement is good for keeping the immediate 'surge' of wrath runes into the game minimal, though.

The Superior dragon bones sound great and will be incredibly balanced if the superior antifire potions pass the poll. However, if the potions don't pass the poll the bones will be only used for Prayer. If that happens, would it be better to reduce it to only 1 bone per kill? Just a thought really, I don't think it will be a huge deal either way.

Dragonbone necklace doesn't sound particularly useful, was there anything specific in mind when thinking of its use?

Just a note, it should be Adamantite dragons if they are released, otherwise, Runite should be changed to Rune dragons which just doesn't sound right. It also appears that a few things were recapped in the dev blog (dragon bolts, superior dragon bones, etc.), there is no need to recap them when they were introduced earlier in the dev blog.

Will the charter ships that members can take to the Corsair cove also be free if not then they should be free or the Port Sarim boat should have a small cost - I'd personally prefer for there to be a small cost. Could we get more information on the new NPCs the Corsair cove would add? Will they be something akin to a hill giant or stronger? Corsair cove and expansion both sound absolutely wonderful currently.

Why would only members require completion of the Corsair Curse quest to access the bank there?


Overall a great array of content ideas, I am really looking forward to this one!

I am a bit confused why jagex wants to add more dragon armor into the game. The stats of both the platebody and kite shield are lower than current content gear. If they wanted to come out with the dragon plate it should have been done before barrows gear had been released. You can't have a lower tier gear over power higher tier gear.

I'd like to know why half of the items/areas don't require to have the quest completed.

And personally I think that the quest should require all current quest to be complete just like while Guthix sleeps was when it was released.

I'd also like to add that if a player has not beat the quest they should NOT be allowed to enter the guild. It has very high requirements and just like every other guild it should only be accessed after completing the quest or having the requirements! This is not fair to players that have worked hard to achieve access to the guild.

Dragonbone Necklace:
How about you either remove the prayer drain from it completely or make it not happen in you're in a safe non combat area like a bank. I would hate having to recharge prayer after i set up for doing something because i equipped it in a bank.

Is this new boss going to require prayer flashing just to be able to kill? Will it have some unblock-able combo that will always insta kill anyone who isn't above 99hp like zulrah. (Both of these are horrible things for a boss to have) Drakes need a buff to be worth killing and not a blocked task
