Tbh, with items as complicated as those, we thought it might be simplest to start from something familiar. If they come out unpopular, we can work towards something more suitable.
Here's the solution if they don't pass.
Instead of adding Ancient warrior's items, which we do not have the graphics for, we should fill out the whole dragon tier instead. It would be much simpler to recolour rune items into the dragon scheme (red and dark grey).
Dragon Throwing axes/Javelin's can function as Morrigan's weapons, with it's special attack but with reduced stats, released through a new impling.
Statius's Warhammer can be Dragon warhammer with it's special stats and reduced stats. Released through possibly a new slayer monster (dwarf) that drops it.
Vesta's spear can be the Dragon Hasta with it's special and reduced stats, released through a new metal dragon.
Vesta's longsword can be the Dragon Shortsword with it's special and reduced stats, released through Shades of Mort'on Gold Chests.
The two problems with this is that one: the armor's are not introduced, yet they were never used in the first place because they degraded into dust and GWD is already releasing new armor so we don't really need it in the first place. Two: Zuriel's staff can't be added through changing ancient warrior weapons into Dragon. Though to compensate for the loss of misamic spells and the staff, we can just add magic damage on magic potions that was released with the overload update and add magic damage on the Black mask (i).
Also as an unrelated note, what I would like to see in OSRS is skilling content rather than constant combat updates. What the OSRS team has released so far were only small tweaks to skilling instead of new content like ZMI altar, or Advanced agility courses. Also, a rehaul on every mini-game would make those dead mini-games more popular.
this sounds like a good suggestion!
