indeed this idea sounds a lot better!, i did luv the idea of the rainbow phat tradeable but problem was you was making the phat prices outrageous and making the rainbow phat too hard to get at that point. i still am waiting on some one to do some thing about mods abusing there power. according to the pmod it will be looked into so lets pray. and to top it off as i was saying this idea sounds a lot better than the original. i like everything this time. for once jagex did listen to us.. amazing... some of the players freak so much cause there worried that you will destroy the game as with rs3... we hate what you did with rs3 which is why were here haha..**** was a great game that went bad over time in rs3 =p but we luv the game in general so we play ethier way. so we are very weary about out old school now... were like pitbulls guarding our home haha

In addition, for broad bolts, I would like them to be released exactly the way they were in the old game. Affordable, powerful and practical. These bolts were perfect for the vast majority of the community and range was a much more enjoyable skill to level. People complain that adamant bolts would lose their value, but honestly, they will keep their exact values. Why? Bolt prices are essentially influenced by the cost of making them (in this case its addy bars). It's not like bars are getting any cheaper. They still have a critical use in bossing (diamond/ruby (e) bolts).
I remember in the old game that adamant bolt prices did not change in the slightest.

I didn't see a question for the poll asking for the option to fletch broad bolts. How come this isn't in there? It would be great to have.

Thanks


Actually you're wrong about bar prices keeping adamant bolt prices stable, it is just the opposite of what you state, bar prices are determined by the highest valued item you can make from them, and for adamant bars that would be adamant bolts.

Cheap and easy to get broad bolts WILL drop demand for adamant bolts and both bolt and bar prices drop just as they did when broad bolts came into the game in 2008 and they will do it again if they come into this version of the game.

And when addy bolts crash so will mith bolts, why pay 160 to 180 for mith when you will be able to get adamant for nearly the same price?

Smithing once again fades from an honorable and profitable profesion and becomes an expensive hobby for wealthy players.

There are only two slayer beasts that need broad bolts, count them, two.

Why devalue the smithing skill so wannabe rangers can have cheap training ammo with adamant strength.

I bet runecrafters would be just as upset if 55 slayer let you buy natures, laws or deaths for 90 gp so you have cheap mage levels.
Ha ha, made you look ;)

God War pets? I really hope that one passes the poll.

I'm extremely impressed with how much the OSRS team is doing, given the small staff and limited resources. All of these sound like potential amazing content for the game. Way to go OSRS Dev team. :)

I am happy with the minor changes to the dev blog!
I am super happy that the exp rates for slayer stay the same. I don't want to look selfish or anything, but speaking as someone who went through all the hard work with the slow exp rates for slayer and actually achieving 99 slayer.. I am really, really happy that slayer doesn't become, just another quick(er) skill.

PS: I love the plan of fusing the slayer gem together with the slayer helmet
You guys are the best! <3 Oldschool

So based upon feedback, it seems there is a mutual agreement that not getting two of every partyhat alongside two of all the other tradeable Christmas items is not the prefered idea.

So instead, we've gone back to the original drawing board plan and are ofeering two of every partyhat, an untradeable rainbow partyhat AND an untradeable Black partyhat. We'll throw the rainbow one in for good measure but you will not need to cut up any partyhats to make it and neither will it retain any street value, it'll just become another untradeable vanity 'rare'.

We've also looked at some of the slayer feedback and there's been some concern over the introduction of additional XP when completing a task quickly through time trial slayer. Instead, we'll go down the route of offering additional points and leave the XP rates exactly as they are.

We've also taken extra feedback on board and are adding the slayer gem to the slayer mask allowing you to right click the helmet to see how many kills you have left giving the helm the same options as the gem. This will be inclusive when building the helmet.

How does that sound?


thank you that sounds better then just free random xp handouts for time trial slayer im glad for your feedback and concern from me and others that disagreed with the free xp boosts and instead replaced the xp with xtra slayer points.. much better thank you :) .

I was wondering will broad arrowheads be in the slayer poll yes or no..

If the broad arrows are introduced into the game by fletching them I highly disagree with it because they made fletching so op.. There still op for the main game, and that's the main game. I would much rather have broad arrows be boughten from a general store or a runescape store then buy them as a broad arrowhead and fletch myself to get the arrows because the xp for fletching them was disgustingly op and if its in a poll question I would like you to remove broad arrowheads question. not necessarily remove the arrows from the game but just don't let them enter the game through "broad arrowheads".
