Few questions:

If you use the staff special, and then switch weapons, will the special keep working? ( pre eoc, it did not, which was good )

With Staff of light getting a 15% magic boost, it would greatly devalue the Master Wand, that was previously the best staff, pre eoc it also got a percantage boost too, it also requires a lot of work and runes to obtain the wand, instead of being just a boss drop, while the staff of light still gave the 1/8 rune discount, what about the master wand?

Will the new black mask upgrade get similar features as the slayer helm once had? such as being able to fight dust devils ( face mask ) and abberant spectres ( nosepeg ) ?

And thank god for that crystal equipment thing here, that would be simply excellent, awesome, but could you make it so the negative attack bonus for range could go from -10 to -5 instead, so it could be used alongside a crossbow properly like the other shields?

Will the super prayer potion work outside the nightmare zone or only in the nightmare zone like the other potions?

All in all, i think you've handled the GWD updates in general pretty well so far

what will be the alch value of the armadyl crossbow? I think many people will vote No because they think the special would be op with d bolts and void when pking, but if the alch value is low like it is in rs3 it couldn't even be used for pking unless you want to risk the arma crossbow. So it would be nice if you told us the alch value in the poll question.

But if that doesn't pass for some weird reason, what do we have as an alternative for the h'ween event?
We're expected to make all the Halloween-themed rares available somehow. It'd be a shame not to do it from a proper holiday event, but I guess we can come up with something that ticks the boxes.

I think special attacks are supposed to insist on you having the correct weapon equipped, right? It's not like the Rampage or Sanctuary "attacks" that just boost your stats. So yes, I'd expect it to cancel itself if you unequipped the weapon.

True. We'd be able to put questions in future polls about making that wand more beneficial again, but if we pitched a complicated rebalance of all high-end magical equipment in this poll question, I really don't see it being well received.

Combination headgear is not being included at this time. We're thinking it'd be worth doing a big Slayer update project after we've finished with GWD and PvP worlds, which are the two big projects to which we're already committed.

:) If the new crossbow doesn't pass, but the crystal upgrade thing does, maybe you'll be okay without the crossbow?

As usual, great replies, and yes, if the new crossbow didn't pass, the crystal upgrade would greatly soften the pain of it

What about the crystal shield though, its attack bonus is a massive -10 in range, if this could be reduced to -5 it would be a great help for crossbow users, and it would be more in line with other used shields

like dfs is -5, dragon sq -2, rune kite is -2
