I love alot of the idea, and cant wait for gwd to be released (I hope), My only problem is this, "Question: If the GWD is released, a new degradeable item called Amulet of the Damned would be dropped by K'ril Tsutsaroth. If worn alongside a full Barrows set, the amulet would absorb a fraction of combat damage from any hitsplat over 15 hitpoints. See the dev blog for full details." I dont know lala land what world people have been living in who believe that gwd devalued barrows equipment, but if that got voted in, i would literally be sick to my stomach, When a set effect was active it reduced the max hit by 20%, know in pvm this really wouldnt matter all that much, mainly on people healing up at graador using guthan's, or full karil's at fight cave's. However where it would be used 99.999% of the time is full Dharok pking in the wild/possible pvp worlds, every time i have seen people state that Bandos>Barrows i lol a little bit, Dharok's was the one of the most most common melee sets to down unskulled torva, it can get fights vs almost anything, has a high slash and crush hit @ full hp, its max is 47, with a 10% increase per damage as hp is lost, and the gear has a large amount of defense built into it, this is making an already great set of pk gear better if it where passed. Plus, its only useful for Guthans (occasionally for the tank healing at bandos), Veracs (pretty commonly KQ), Dharoks (pking all the time), And karils (hardly barely ever), I have twice while playing runescape seen someone wearing full torags. . . both times where 138's who where bored and pking in wild. Anyone who thinks bandos/arma devalues barrows is insane. i pked in some barrows Armour 85% of the time i was in wild, i pked using acp, and acs only when i needed to raise my risk for a high risk fight.
To be honest idk if this will get voted through though, i have never once yet said the word EZ-SCAPE. Barrows has superior defense, set effects low or no negative combat triangle effects. . . .

Very nice job. I think the arma crossbow should have a spec though, since it is arma a similar spec to ags I think would be good - 25% damage boost. But doesn't stack with jeweled specs.

New staff should have a damage boost for mage.

In addition, I support the adding of a pj timer for both wild and pvp (also on a side not, all non tradeables including void, firecapes, torso, defenders. . . should be lost on death) and possibly one world with protect item disabled?, i would also like to see a poll done for addy bars on avianse, this does seem to be a rather large and integral gwd change and should need the 75% player ok. In addition, eh to dragon boots idea, i dont like it, but thats what we have votes for, (kind of like addy bar drops huh, which we dont get to vote on?)

This was something I wanted to address in my post, but ran out of characters to do so with. Should this fail and become repolled, I'm sure many players will cry out for repolls of other certain updates. Specifically pures RE: Ape Atoll. If OSRS starts re-polling things though, some players, myself included, might question the integrity and longstanding permanence of polled ideas. It's possible re-polls may become a touchy subject. I also wonder if they'll ever repoll the 75% pass rule.

Should GWD not pass, can we please still get polls for mage/range/melee balancing? I'd still love to see Mage/Range equivalents of Piety get a release at some point.


Was said in another poll that if the vote is off a few points (73 was used as an example), then it would be worth pursuing, so it most likely would be polled again if it fails by a few points.

There is no need to give armadyl the rights to drop this amulet of the damned if it is to pass, it's already the most profitable boss in runescape. I suggest giving this drop to saradomin or zamorak if it passes.

I'm confused. Here's what it says in the blog:
" One idea is to create an Amulet of the Damned, dropped by K'ril Tsutsaroth. "

I don't see anything about adding extra items to the Armadyl boss at all.


Oh I am so sorry haha, I completely misread that as "kreea", I take that back.

Anywho, nice blog.

Was going to vote yes regardless, but I like these changes.

DONT GIVE INTO THE KIDS CRYING ABOUT ADDY BARS!!


Please dont reward kids 300k gp/hr for no work. Many of us worked over 300 hours for 85 or 90 slayer for just 300k-400k gp/hr methods. Most these players crying on the forums are either planning to mass bot them or take the easy way out to make gp. I dont even think runecrafters at lvl 91 make more than 300k gp/hr. This is oldschool wheres the grind is tough.

Many years ago i had a friend tell me he knew a guy who camped 30 bots for addy bars 24/7. Look at the bot situation now, bots everywhere. It will just increase mass amounts of gp into the game from players alching addy pl8's. Most from bots.

Either un-note the bars or nerf the drop rate to 5%. Do whats best for the game. Dont let the botters gather in numbers to cry on the forums to get you guys to flip the decision!

Long live oldschool!
