This idea about doing tasks in the wildy should be completely scrapped i know for a fact i can/would just camp npc's for easy kills and rewards with multiple people which most people who are pkers will do... it would not work for minimal rewards would be a pointless update and if it was worth a good reward exactly what i said at the top is what would happen and will happen so i doubt it will work either way

Honestly the only way the ancient equipment would work is having a repair cost, let's say 30m for each melee item and 1m for the range weapons. Obviously you guys would decide the final amount, but 30m and 1m seems reasonable considering it would be pure cash taken from the economy.

I would imagine the ancient equipment was created in order to encourage PKers to use the PvP worlds over the dangerous Clan Wars (at a time when there was no Wilderness). If it's not a reward, is it worth having at all?

what about corrupt dragon scim. I do not know about main clans in this regard, but pretty much every pure misses using these in our f2p wars. Could corrupt dragon equipment be polled as well?

Ugh. We were hoping those wouldn't be required, given the low traffic to F2P-themed worlds.

It may also be problematic doing anything with the colour of the dragon armour to make these look different from real dragon armour. Mod Reach recently found that some dragon kit can't be recoloured in its entirety.


Could you please respond to my post on page 21? specificly about the armor part, i think a shop would be a way better idea, and not abused as much
Not really sure what you meant on page 21 since pvp items degrade to nothing, not like barrows which could be repaired.


Yes, but the way they get introduced ( randomly based on a point system from player kills ) is most likely despicable to abuse, as jagex has NEVER made a proper pvp point system.
Ok i see what you mean, skipped that part when i read the post first time round. Not sure how they should be introduced really, pretty hard to add something like pvp items without it being abused somehow.

Don't you see the problem though? Read my post on the last page again. To sum it up, I could be risking 70m in gear against a player with full rune, dragon scim and a vls with 1% charge left. Sure I should be willing to lose/risk my items, but someone with a vls at 1% charge killing me for all of that, and being at an advantage nonetheless seems rather... stupid. :(

edit: ancient equipment would function like barrows equipment, it's either 0 or 100 upon death. The weapons would still be very valuable, and could still be sold for a nice profit. You either sell for 10m (who knows how much the real price would be) at 0, or pay the 30m to use/sell for 40m. So let's say a player gets a vls that player A had at 1% charge, they would be getting an item they could sell rather than a vls that is almost useless to them.

Sorry Mod Ash for reminding everyone about dragon equipment! Didn't mean to cause more work for you guys, honest!

It doesn't have to really be recolored, maybe add some small graphical change or create some sort of glow?

edit: forgot armor costs
helm-5m
body-15m
legs-10m

once again, the armor/weapons repair costs would be based on the mod's decision.


The items were never meant to be cost-effective to buy, which is why they weren't repairable, on top of being insanely expensive.

Ergo, i don't think they should be repairable

Its just real-high end gear that should only be used for fun, or high end stakes rather than something repeatably bought and used over and over.
