OK, I feel like this post will be a long one so here it goes. I've looked through several pages of this thread and I've seen some ideas that were spectacular.

Firstly, I feel as if cosmetics would definitely be an excellent idea for a PvP reward.


There could be rewards similar to existing trimmed armor. An example of this would be: (Battle worn) Sets e.g. (Battle worn) Rune Platebody, (Battle worn) Rune platelegs, etc., these items (Rune Platebody) could be trimmed with the aforementioned emblems dropped upon a player's death by trading in the emblems to an NPC specifically for Cosmetic rewards.
(still a thought in process)

Sub-section of cosmetics

I feel as if emotes/pets are also extremely viable PvP rewards as well.
Pets do not devalue anything and are quite nice to show off the deeds that you've accomplished whilst not degrading your "image" (armor, weapons, etc). Emotes are in the same boat as pets for me. They both share qualities in that they don't devalue anything and they both show off accomplishments.

This one is for the skillers


Do you guys remember the recent artisan poll? Well, this would be a PERFECT opportunity to implement some of these items into the wild! (the new ore, the new trees, the new hunting creatures! Sorry, I know I forgot some) and can be used to "upgrade" specific items (potions, food(fish), armor, weapons) just like in the artisan skill!. i.e. Adding "wilderness specific material" to "Shark" to give it an extra effect of having a chance to also cure poison! This is beneficial for skillers and PKERS. Also these effects could be "wilderness only" in that you can eat the shark out of the wilderness, but you will not have the added bonus. These materials wouldn't devalue current materials because they exist solely to boost each other!

Touching up on "Cosmetics" These items (trimmed) become untradeable until death where the item will be restored to normal or if the player decides to take the trimming off (this does not refund) Also, particle effects coul be added to weapons/gear. Such as "Blood stains on your weapons or armor/and or blood dripping) This idea would be difficult on dragon weapons, but there are other possible roads.

One more thing I wish to suggest

I don't know how the community feels as a whole about the titles, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE IDEA OF TITLES IN RS07 . PVP TITLES such as G od "The Indestructable" for having a 10 kill streak or higher, or "Executioner" G od for killing 100 targets. I'm sure you guys can come up with some awesome titles.

I don't personally look for cash stack rewards when I PK, the simple act of pking is just enjoyable to me and the rewards that I've listed above are what I personally want most.

I definitely want criticism or feedback on my ideas!

Why can't you make another 100 new cosmetics like you did with elite clues, then add those 100 rare new cosmetic items to be rare drop from your target. I would say that BH is a more important update than elite clues so its definetely worth spending some time on coding 100 new items. Also it doesnt matter if the items u get arent pk related, aslong as u can profit from pking and have a slim chance of getting something really good people will stay pking.

Can you please poll these ideas?
1. Would you rather have a PvP Shop or randomized drops like in old Bounty Hunter/PvP worlds?
2. Do you want to bring back similar PvP items to the ones in the Old BH/PvP worlds?
3. Do you want brawling gloves back?
4. Should we bring Dragon Claws back?
Anything
SIMILAR
to this would be great. Maybe even a G.E poll? =)

I have never used to forums before for 07 but i feel i need to get this across

the main thing people want is the exact same statuettes but without pvp armor. the main problems are items crashing due to over dropping (like everything in pvp worlds on rs pre eoc).

Also, the corp is going to be pretty dead content and is going to be nearly all FFA. because THERE is no LS. unlike the team effort of how corp used to be where there would be guaranteed splits. (consider dropping shards of sigil equally to the team or something) [sorry last part is offtopic but is more important than even BH questions]

How about something like this:

You can use the emblems to buy different "perks" to the wildy bosses: You could unlock new drops (existing items or maybe completely new ones), have the existing drops to come in greater amounts etc.

This would both make the BH system appealing, encouraging people to actually PK even if they otherwise wouldn't, which would help the PKing to stay alive. It would also give PVMers more reasons to kill the wildy bosses.

The new drops and the increased drops would naturally have to be voted.
