These updates look exciting but as a 1 def pure with plenty of pvm achievements and 2k total this is very disheartening. Before the "you chose to limit yourself" comments. Yes! I did I have a much more challenging time pvming and doing those things on a limited account, so do plenty of others whether it's a pure,zerk,med whatever why completely exclude us from this over a simple defence requirment. I have thousands of kc spread across many bosses and this is something that would apeal to me and a lot of us pvpers who feel like jagex is out of touch with us. I mean how many of us are sitting with a useless Vls in the bank right now as just one example. Come on Jagex Please make this where pures can participate its like playing the game on hard mode but they turn achievements off??!?!?
Jagex this guy took the words out of my mouth "its like playing on hard mode and turning achievements off?"

I completely agree, i myself am in the same exact situation(1 def, 2k+ total, thousands of boss kills) and this update gives ZERO content for anyone under 60 defence. This throws away any prodded pvp account under 60 def for using this update. I was actually really excited about this and then i saw the requirements and realized that immediately i couldnt even partake. Please dont exclude almost every pvper that isnt a maxed main from this update!

Offhand idea: Naming convention and upgrade technique to match with diaries.
Nieve's Grace/Nieve's light: Using the ashes from Nieve's elysian shield and a few quest item drops from monsters or basic bosses you complete an introduction quest where you forge an ancient hero's blessed item and one component is the essence of true courage(the answer being the elysian dust that was imbued with Nieve's last moment of courage and the player would have blessed by a saradomin priest or some such. After you complete the entirety of the quest you get the item in its base form and you now know how the system works. As you progress and complete each tier you unlock the next form and then are able to hunt down more essence from slayer bosses in higher tiers and so on and so forth until you have the maxed out rewards. Just the basics of an idea i had but i figured id see what people thought

if they made this accessible for pures it would just take accounts that already one shot players and make them even more broken. You are very easily able to min max accounts to output far more damage than needed and this is used often thats why these accounts still exist so dominantly.... there is no way that the greater community would be happy with that being accessible to pures

you would very likely be able to get the lowers

I posted a suggestion for the accuracy offhand weapon on Reddit, I'll link it but also just post the text since it was short.

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/k0krnc/accuracy_offhand_weapon_suggestion_combat/

My suggestion: call the weapon the Meridian Thorn, resembling the directional needle of a Compass Rose (Thorn referring to Rose). Doing these combat tasks takes you all over the world of Gielinor, which makes me think of a map (Prime Meridian). Perhaps the North and South points of the cross could be lengthened into the blade and hilt, with the East and West smaller to form a crossguard?

Some cheeky examine text for the item: "Guides you to its target, almost magnetically." I think that this is very thematic for a weapon that increases your accuracy, pointing you in the right direction.

I'm not an artist so I just quickly edited something together, but I imagine something like this. Colors are negotiable:

For the new offhand weapon I'd tag on a metal system just like the defenders. Go from Steel to Dragon for the 6 new tiers (Steel, Black, Mithril, Adamant, Rune, Dragon.) Also like the Defenders I'd give it a similar name in the same vein with Defender being a role someone could be. The offhand weapon name idea I have is the Vanguard. A Defender is someone who defends easily enough while someone who is in the Vanguard take the front lines which I would think is in line with being more accurate. Does fishing trawler have a trip counter yet?

My opinion about Combat Achievements:

1. Why add combat achievements without adding skilling achievements? For me this seems unfair.

2. We already have the Achievement diaries, much content about slayer tasks, leagues with many tasks, this Combat Achievements seems like overkill.

3. The suggested Combat Achievements offers 10 different kind of good to very good benefits, I think these benefits are great for RS3, but in my opinion, they are insane over powered for OSRS. We do our best with minigames, leagues and any updates to offer zero to small benefits, the rewards of Combat Achievements do not fit in here.

4. Many people do not participate in every pvm content. Like skillers for example, and people who do not participate in group activities like raids and the Nightmare, and people who just haven’t started specific content yet or just won’t do/like it. All these people would be in disadvantage of the group of people who will/can do all tasks and get insane benefits from the Combat Achievements.

I think Combat Achievements would be nice together with Skilling Achievements, with only reasonable OSRS rewards and with tier completed at like 90% of the tasks done rather than 100%. For now, I’m honestly shocked to see this suggestion for OSRS. If this would pass, OSRS should get Summoning, Runespan, Dungeoneering and a new combat mechanism as well… oh, and I would quit RS besides that for the record.

Sounds amazing! Really excited about the GWD instances but getting ecumenical key for my HCIM has to be the most dangerous thing you can do. Not only you have to wear monk robes so monsters don't attack you, you have to wear them in a multicombat wilderness.
I suggest either the instance price is just reduced with the ecumenical key and you can pay more coins to get in or a new place to get the keys from.

When talking about this suggestion, people are saying that pures, skillers and not 100% of the content players are limiting their self. This is a great example of the selfish human being that just let others fall as bricks. For the people who do think for others and in a broad aspect, my respect. A fair update would not disadvantage like 30% of the players, but 0%. We often reach the 0% by not implementing Locked stuff, O.P. things and instead do implement fashionscape often.
