I like the idea here for the whip. It may change when it comes to the polls but I think if it's fine tuned to be degradeable and T80 BIS, it may pass with flying colours.

Is there any plans on looking at dragonbone necklace? I think prayer items need more of a look of how they can be useful. I know we don't want unlimited camping but I just feel the item is dead already with it only been released last year. It's a very rare drop from Vorkath and it only drops once in a blue moon, but it's such a niche item that I can't see many players using it. I just don't like items crashing hard. It usually means they aren't useful if they're super rare to farm.

Thanks again for listening to our opinions. The team is listening to player feedback and it shows in this revision. Clan Defy -

It's frustrating to see things be briefly discussed on Q&A then brushed aside the very next day despite it being said there was an open discussion for it. Aesthetically, the dragon hunter lance is my favorite weapon so far and I feel it needs a slight buff to keep it competitive to where the dragon hunter crossbow can be used. I propose it has a secondary effect giving it a 5% or 10% chance to roll a second hit. This still allows the scythe to be BIS at Chambers of Xeric (where most people have their gripe about the lance) but also allows a healthy competition to the crossbow for non-raids dragons.

Instead of the ridiculous Bone Whip, I feel you were on the right track with adding the Hydra tail to the Dragonbone necklace which in its current state is practically useless. Perhaps combining them, along with bonecrusher (with hard Kebos diary) to create the Dragonbane Stole (for example), since the tail is long like a stole plus the innate prayer bonus from the necklace.

As it's worn in the necklace slot which competes with the likes of Torture, Anguish and Occult; giving it a small damage buff to Dragons only to slightly compensate for and not be on par with wearing power jewellery, plus the cost of not being able to loot the bones as they'd be crushed could make it relevant especially in Dragon slaying situations.

I really like the idea of "niche-scape" giving use to certain items in different situations (ie Salve, Arclight, Lance and DHCB), otherwise only the current best-in-slot items will always be considered. Just my thoughts and I'd really love to hear any/all feedback.

I like your idea to keep their original idea with something more niche. I would love to see the value of dragonbone necklace and hydra tail remain high for a long time.

I had a thought someplace, like the can or in the shower. My idea was that if the necklace combination idea was kept with bonecrusher, that it could make an ultimate dragon necklace. It would provide charges on the amulet to teleport to all dragon lairs. Or it could be boss lairs: KBD, vorkath, and hydra.

I think we need to have more amulets in game like the glory, that's used outside of a poh. The poh is great, but we also want to have niche items that aren't just used for stats or combat. It could still provide the prayer crushing bonus due to the bonecrusher, and your idea sounds good with giving it a buff. Maybe it cannot be stacked though. Clan Defy -

Bone whip (design) - I am not a fan of the design. Can we please get it tweaked a little with the appearance?

Aerial fishing - I'm confused. Are there only 1/100 and 1/75 rates?
Or is it increased as your level goes up?
Example: If I have 80 fishing and 71 hunter, is my rate somewhere
around 1/high 80s - 90s?

My point exactly. For anything to hold value it needs to be a best-in-slot/the efficient option otherwise it will never be considered for use. If Jagex want the Hydra Tail and Dragonbone Necklace to be valuable, which they deserve to be being rare drops from high level dragon bosses, then my suggestion of the "Dragonbane Stole" could make that happen.

Currently the Dragonbone Necklace is at 300k and for a 1/1k from Vorkath, anyone who gets one as a drop probably feels a little bummed by it, even an Ironman getting their first one since there's no real BEST place to use it. Some might argue Maniacal Monkeys, but DPS is king in this era and the prayer dose drops cover prayer loss anyway.

As for your suggestion of adding teleports to bosses, I don't think that's a good idea. Fremennik Elite diary covers Vorkath while KBD should remain somewhat dangerous to get to, as it always has been. Also, Alchemical hydra may have a shortcut added to avoid running through the normal hydras.

I agree it should be considered the "Ultimate Dragon Necklace" being made from 2 rare drops from 2 big dragons.
