I like the boss concept but the rewards are seriously devaluing other items. The sirens book seems like an amazing concept but way to op, even with its -5 prayer. An idea for the book would be something like, you can't use overhead prayers, and a 1 min cool down for equipping book. (excluding smite, redemption etc)

The Inquisitor's Armour seems to have very low requirements. And in my opinion, not that it matters, we do not need new melee Armour. For the mace it seems odd. Id say its the most balanced item offered to us but just seems out of place.

I am 100% lost on how the staffs actually work or how balanced they are. Simply, I don't see the need for another mage weapon.

The nightmare concept art thus far reminds me of a night walker. It would seem nice to add some shape shifting "phases".

The Sisterhood sanctuary looks awesome and if the boss passes would love to see something similar to the concept art. Lore seems interesting and I hope for a new quest with some interesting story to hopefully fill in story of Slepe. Good luck Mods!

What justification is there to make the book have a negative prayer bonus, when nothing else being released shares that quality?

Oh, it's soooooo evil, merely using it makes the gods turn their backs on you. And the mace isn't? The armour isn't? The staff and its orbs aren't? Even though they all originate in the same broader lore?

Why is the bloody book so special? And why has this negative prayer bonus only been applied to magic equipment (the other example being the ancient staff, literally an item representing a god)?

This is very good content and these rewards are long overdue. I appreciate the creativity that went into these items beyond "ok this has bigger numbers and requires 75 in skill"

The armor set in particular is a very good concept. If anyone at Jagex reads this please know that the people in this thread crying about devaluing, balance, and all that actually have no clue what they are talking about and what keeps people playing. It's impossible to satisfy them and this is exactly the demographic that ends up hurting the game the most. Ignore them, they cry the loudest but in reality their opinions are dumb and baseless. Implement the update no matter what the poll numbers are.

The greatest and most necessary additions to this game are niche use items that are not always best, and rather situational instead. This is why the armor in particular is so good. I would have preferred the defense requirement to be 20 or 25 and the def stats slightly lower, but it is a fantastic concept even as it is. The absolute worst thing that could come out of this update is clueless people voting no and killing potentially great content.

The only thing i don't like is the 30 defense requirement for the armor. bandos chestplate and tassets are worse than this armor and require 70 to wear (the only thing better is defense which is only slightly higher).

also it would be nice if some of these items could degrade.

For the orbs i think the nightmare should drop some kind of item that can recharge an orb when removed from the staff of nightmares. if they can be interchanged for free it could be potentially overpowered

As an veteran ironman myself i also hate when updates is catered to ironman or making it easier for us. However the way corp was before the update was absoulut horrendous. Imagine spending 10-15min killing a boss only to have someone come destroy that. If you are so against it please tell me how the corp ironman instance effected you?.

People who say ironman can't have there own instance either hates ironman mode becuse they dont have enough time to play it themself or becuse they wont be able to crash ironmans. Please tell me how it affects you in a negative way?

was mean at a reply to someone earlier in the thread but didnt work to quote him

I like the lore and concept as Morytania is getting more developed which is good to see but those rewards are horrible and it makes items useless:

Mace: The mace along with a rune defender completely outclasses the abyssal bludgeon so you just kill content that is practically dead as is.

To fix the mace I'd recommend lower the strength bonus because with its current it is +4 higher than the bludgeon. You can keep the accuracy but its dps will be too much

The armor: No strength bonus, it ruins other items like the kilt and torso. To adjust the reward id change the actual item drops to a singular "corrupted Vial" that you can add to prossy armor that increases the crush accuracy and defense bonus. with a slightly reduced prayer bonus from the original prossy.

The book is garbage, get rid of it. My only "fix" to the book would be an addition to mages book that gives a slight magic boost while having a 1/20 chance of saving like death/chaos/blood runes from spells but even honestly I think the reward is garbage regardless

The staves are just OP, keep things simpler. You have one staff drop that is basically a pretty decent mid tier staff. then you need the orb drops that adds a special attack to the staff, and another orb that adds tick speed. Once you add the orb you must sacrifice it to change it or maybe like use an offering of runes or something to remove it. and you shouldnt be able to have more than one of the staffs at a time. Maybe to add it to the staff you must use it with an npc or something. Im not entirely sure but making a whole plethora of BIS will kill content. things need to have niches or have large sacrifices to keep the game healthy. Finish the map before we add to it

I really like the idea of the boss and the content. Hoping we will possible have a good quest to go with the storyline of Slepe.

I’m not really a fan of the mace and I think for a new weapon it would need a lot more of a re-think.

I don’t really understand the low requirements for the staff. I believe the requirements should be more of 75-80 mage and 70-75 attack. Would the orbs be detachable so you can use different orbs? I like the idea of the prayer restore but if using this with the book then it wouldn’t help due to the minus prayer??? Maybe the book should be an attachment to the Mayes book to just upgrade stats or maybe add a specific effect.

Not a massive fan of the armour and it does have extremely low requirements. If the requirements are going to be this low then the boss needs to me aimed more at mid levels players and have a good passive effect for killing certain creatures.

Looking forward to any further updates

Too low of requirement on the Inquisitor Armour considering how strong it is, add a drop that would be able to be used on Justiciar that turns it into Inquisitor, which adds the strength bonus to it, while adding a 75 Strength requirement to it and also having the 75 Defence requirement remain.

This is probably the worst content polled since ever. I feel like once again content developers have fumbled the ball when it comes to which kind of content we want and the content we need. Also update your OUTDATED bot detection.
