Question: Black masks could be imbued, using Nightmare Zone points. The imbued version would give a 15% bonus to your accuracy and max hit against your assigned Slayer target in melee and ranging, and 15% bonus to your accuracy with magic, and would have no negative attack bonuses in ranging or magic. The imbued masks would be untradeable.


- Why is mage only getting accuracy and no damage bonus? Same old Jagex against magic...

- Also, instead of giving out herbs why not give us the abiliy to enchant seeds? This way farming isn't devalued. Enchanted seeds will give 3-4 times more herbs when planted.

Why doesn't the imbued black mask give +15% magic damage?

Looking through the codebase from RuneScape in early 2012 (i.e. before EoC) it appears the equivalent items simply didn't do a magic damage boost, so I've refrained from offering one on the imbued black masks. There's a 15% damage boost being offered on another question in this blog anyway.

I like this idea, while i never farm, this could greatly help farmers in getting more in certain herbs, with a increased demand from the soon to be released GWD that would be nice

It doesn't matter if it didn't have an attack bonus before.. It's not about copying the real RS, it is about rebalancing.

Mage is useless in PvM in every single aspect. This will probably make it more useful but we could be doing better. Just make it as good as the others..

I kinda thought the tradeables would be rewarded in a more...exciting way. Just giving 2 of each seems too easy.


nothing will change then...all the tradables have been easy to obtain, because people thought they would be valuable so they hoarded them like crazy in osrs.

A few other scattered thoughts:
- I really like the cow mask, I have a feeling it'd pass the poll with a high percentage of support.
- I also actually feel like the ACB would now pass a re-poll.
- The Halloween 2006 event was my favourite h'ween event, so that's awesome news. I just hope that it doesn't fail to pass due to people being against the idea of a black h'ween mask (if I'm understanding the question correctly).
- I'd really like to see imbued rings as a reward from NZ, though I feel the price should be high to (at least sort of) match the time investment required for imbued rings from MA.
- I really hope the imbued crystal suggestion passes. The fact that the bonuses degrade just makes them not even worth seriously considering imo. As a related point, I recently read that crystal items cannot be forcefully degraded to a seed or recharged to full from their current degraded state, leaving you with a somewhat redundant item due to lacking certain bonuses and not being renewable until it has been used in combat until it eventually reverts to a seed. If this is correct, perhaps something could be done about this too? If only by adding an option in the elves dialog which allows you to instantly degrade the item to a seed, or recharge the item to full from any state by paying the full charge price.
- Scrolls of redirection have my complete support. I've changed my house portal location on multiple occasions purely for the sake of convenient teleportation, but I think these measures are unnecessary, costly, and inconvenient.
- Unrelated to this specific dev blog, but I'm gonna be cheeky and show my support for Mrs TokHaar's idea of plateskirts as additions to the existing Castle Wars rewards.

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

That's quite harsh, true. Mind you, we're offering quite a substantial improvement to the crystal shield with this update already. Perhaps this isn't the time to buff its stats even further.

We're already offering a 15% magic damage buff elsewhere in this poll, which would be applicable against all kinds of targets, not just your Slayer assignment. I don't think magic is being too badly neglected.

If that doesn't pass, we can look at this again.
