I'm so excited for Soul Wars to be back but I do believe the rewards need some work. I think including the imbue's you can do in NMZ here is a bit redundant, but fine as an added option to the 'grind' for players.
As such, I really think this is a great opportunity to introduce some new rewards that can be used cross-functionally.
Some ideas:
- Armor sets with set bonuses that activate in matches but not outside (or maybe they do?) yet it's still a viable option to use outside.
- Slayer Armor! - I remember in RS3, it was a great way to get some slayer training done in SW because of all the slayer monsters in there too. Maybe this could be a good way to tie-in creating some new slayer armor instead of just having the slayer helm and weapons in the game.
- New staff/weaponry that's representative of Soul Wars like the staff.
- New potion(s) purchasable only through Soul Wars but usable outside the game.
- Maybe add an option to utilize Zeal on other skills/stats.
Just some random thoughts above; I'm sure some will be loved and some hated but feel free to comment! I think there's an opportunity to create some rewards that are truly dynamic to the playability of the game by tieing SW's with something else too. I think Slayer may be the best option there especially with all the Slayer updates we saw in 2020 anyway; this could set many things up in the future in terms of slayer.
*Note, I'm not even a big slayer fan so definitely not speaking around this in bias.
Thanks all, hope to see some new rewards in general very soon! I'll be saving my zeal until then.
