Please do not push these updates for blowpipe. The only viable ranged weapon for ironman mode before chambers of xeric is the blowpipe, and nerfing this leaves them with no options. Many iron's goals revolve around the 87 slayer grind to obtain the trident, and use it to get the blowpipe from Zulrah. The scale upkeep needed fits the power of the blowpipe for irons.

Nerfing this item ruins many iron's game, destroys any speedrun attempts hereafter, and in general, devalues completely an item that's been established in the game for 6 years. Please do not make these changes, it would alienate many players.

Maces, Spears and Hastae -
If you're increases speed of bronze-rune, also increase attack speed for dragon for consistency.

IMO 4 tick melee weapons should be best for low-med defence monsters, and 5 tick weapons should have enough accuracy to replace them vs high defence monsters.

Most of your ideas are good or ok, but that BLOWPIPE WTF.
Blowpipe is the strong, of course, but it costs something to use. Buff other range items, if you will, but those blowpipe nerfs are ridiculous. Simply increase the range requirement, and maybe reduce the accuracy at the most. Blowpipe should remain OP for lower def monsters, but vs higher defence monsters we could possibly switch to crossbows/crystal. Crystal bow has just kinda been bad since osrs release.

I'm an ironman and crystal bow served almost no purpose as its outclassed by rcb + broads, or msb + rune arrows.

Your BP nerfs are too much, and as an ironman I might stop using it completely because gathering scales will no longer be worth my time.

can't you just leave the equipment the way it is? Black D'hide requires way toooooooooo much defense level to wear and now you're nerfing it to make it WORTHLESS???

Your reason was "you want players to focus on using different ranged equipment"... REALLY?
haven't y'all realized how expensive is ranged equipment? What would you like players to try? ARMADYL? Ranged/robin hood equipment? Are you nuts?

Other dumb thing is reducing neitiznoth faceguard's bonus.

You should force players to increase their stats before they could use better gear but nerfing items is dumb even for OSRS, you should focus on creating more alternatives than only nerfing items...

tbh regarding heavier/lighter armour - chainbodyies are not described to have any changes, but a simple change it could have is... lets say rune chaingbody weight reduction by half from current 6.8kg to 3.2 kg being a silent buff that everyone could agree with. (obviously all items from bronze to dragon)
