I'd like to see a ranged variant of the crystal armour. The current proposal only really benefits the crystal halberd and it would be nice to be able to bring the crystal bow back into use.

I think the crystal gear would provide a strong range tank armor set.

I always love new areas and quests. Priffdinas looks pretty good to me, new tree locations is good. I agree with the other opinions that another herb patch, especially with the newest ones being added so recently. I also don't like the idea of a soft clay mine. At the very least, don't make the bracelet of clay give you two pieces. I love the idea of the gauntlet. It sounds like a mini-dungeoneering, and I loved dungeoneering. Not sure how I feel about the current stats of the crystal armor, but the bonus makes it seem like it would be a good set to use against corp along with the halberd. I feel like the stats should degrade just like every other piece of crystal equipment unless it's imbued though.

Name checks out. Probably crying about some thing.

Don't let people like this scare you into voting no, people.

Why you so scared then?

Me? Scared? Hardly. I just don't like it when people say "no" to content blindly with no reason stated. They do so to spite those of us who actually want the content. Oh, I almost forgot.
Oh, I already forgot.

Most of this content seems wonderful and reasonable - though, I'd also like to see the introduction of new Crystal weaponry from the Gauntlet minigame as well, perhaps a 2-handed Crystal bow-sword, Crystal chains (something akin to Bolas), or even a 1-handed Crystal strike-sword, each featuring unique Special Attacks. Moreover, I think it would be fair to enhance the benefits of the Crystal skilling equipment, with slight improvements to their stats and Special Attack skill boosting effects over their Dragon counterparts. Additionally, how about adjusting both the damage and accuracy percentage boost of the Crystal armour to 10%? I'd love to see some high 60s or low 70s with that Crystal halberd in PvP, considering how difficult all the gear would be to obtain! Overall, this sort of content seems to be a great addition to the game - thanks for being awesome, Jagex team!

So I will add, I'm primarily an RS3 player, but I always like to have a look at these polls and check out what cool stuff OSRS gets!

But I'm rather disappointed reading over this poll here. It feels like one of the weakest pitches I've ever seen for OSRS. I'm fine with the quest of course. Quests are great and I'll always be happy to see either game getting awesome new ones. The thing that's really letting me down is the absolutely horrendous options for the city itself. It feels like you guys got horribly gimped on how to design this thing, and few, if any, real details on how the CITY functions is available here.

A new PoH portal? Sure. Some old trees? Sure, why not. No Crystal trees though? I really expected some creativity here on this stuff, especially since RS3 has had Crystal Trees for years and they're a really cool concept for OSRS to adapt.

The Sawmill is just dumb though. This is a high-end, quest locked location and it's... further than Varrock? Why? Who cares if it's "close to some trees"?

New Herb Patch and Clay rocks are just right from RS3. They're fine, but still.

It gets worse the further down I go though. Freaking "Zalcano" is the name of the Skilling boss? Seriously? Who lost that bet? Heck, even the Gauntlet sounds disappointing and boring. It sounds like Helwyr - who is an elf who absorbed the shape of the Hunllef - is just being ported over, but with some mobs to fight beforehand... but why? Where did these mobs suddenly come from? Why is the Hunllef in Prifddinas of all places?

The Crystal armor reads rather disappointing too. Just tank-based armor with a passive for using Crystal Weapons is a bit underwhelming to me personally. I feel like this could have been done so much more interestingly.

At least the Crystal Skilling items seem nice. Good job there.

Overall though, wow I am underwhelmed. Give some details about the functions of the city, not a bunch of practically unrelated/cringy PvM stuff.
