@ Mod Reach, Despite my posts earlier I'm not entirely opposed to a broad bolt I just don't feel that they should be made available exactly as they were in 2008.

They should be made from broad bolt tips available from a slayer master or perhaps as a drop from existing or new slayer beast(s) and players would learn how to tip them via purchasing the skill with slayer points.

To make them more useful they should be attachable to all bolts and give a small amount of fletching exp based on the level of bolt used, you would of course need the appropriate fletching level for the type of bolt being tipped.

These Old School broad bolts would have a slightly higher ranged strength than the normal bolt they were made from and would have a slightly higher accuracy when used on a slayer assignment.

Slayers would be happy, they would have better ammo and perhaps a new valuable drop, fletchers would be happy, they would have something new to fletch and smithers would be happy because broad bolts would not decrease demand for bolts, miners would be happy because smithers would still pay decent cash for ores to make bolts from.

Why devalue skills like smithing by releasing broad bolts the same way as 2008 when it would be just as easy (well perhaps it would be a bit more work) to change it to an oldschool style and augment multiple skills with them, and get a more useful form of broad bolt? ;)
Ha ha, made you look ;)

I agree with roadrunners last post. But I don´t think broad bolts should have additional ranged strength bonus, even though I like the additional accuracy on slayer tasks.

I´m also scared that broad arrows will give too much experience like they did on the main game. They shouldn´t be used for fletching experience in my opinion.

Duo slay had never worked for me in RS 2 and RS 3. The partners was going off and later came and finished tasks without me. I want play Old School RS not a copy of RS 3. :(

Black Santa hats? Oh no :( I wished to get a normal colored here in Old School. Or had i missed this rare again?

Rainbow? I like Rainbow, but i don't know how it will look. ^^
Possible a normal and a rainbow Party hat. I agree with this idea. :)

Nice! I have one more question, would it be possible to bring the Fight Kiln to old school for those that want to have a nice challenge and untradable reward and some solo only bosses like QBD. Or would it require to much work or not even be possible because of graphic problems? If it is possible could we possibly see it polled in the future? I love hard PvM challenges that have untradable rewards and solo only bosses like QBD.

sorry for question that is off topic, I understand if you can not reply


I much disagree with the fight kiln we dont need that in old school.. even if it is good its better to find something else that may be similiar then the actual fight kiln itself.

sounds good..How about the Grand exchange? i know its well needed..and a lot of people are talking about it.


just because people talk about it doesnt make it needed. It is far from needed. We dont want the ge or need the ge in the game it would just ruin to much things
