The saradomin tear should degrade both the sarasword and the tear after 10k hits. If you look at current valuations of the tentacle, it's now cheaper than the whip and it requires high slayer and on task to get as a drop. Bounty hunter rewards can be farmed to a far larger extent than kraken so saradomin tear will be worth far less at a point the same time from release because it's 2 handed, able to be farmed, and not degrading.

*sigh*

Another person who apparently lacks the capability to read. You do NOT have participate in Bh to get dragon defender. Buy the spike from other players. Use it to access berserk Cyclops. Fight it for a chance of getting drag defender.

Know what really isn't right? You meleers keep getting more, more and more while rangers get a upgrade to a weak bow that will still be weak and mages get nothing but a pouch (assuming that even these pass the polls..).
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

Do you guys really think with these reward items bh will be a succes? good luck. if you want to make it active simply make it very profitable as it used to be. perhaps not as much as it was during ep times but not so far off. and you will see a active pvp community again. nobody gonna bother hunting their targets for a smiting amulet comn man really.

I've passed this to Mod Ash on Twitter. I'm hoping he, along with the staff, may consider this. I fear if the Saradomin Tear is implemented wrong the consequence will be a piece of wasted (not used) content. I've given this proposal as a way to make Abyssal Tentacle & Saradomin Sword relevant, while giving them both their own unique situation based uses. Abyssal Tentacle would become the overall superior PvP weapon. The Saradomin Tear will make the Saradomin Sword a much more cost effective weapon than the tentacle, best for training/slayer!

Jone1492,


No. I am aware of what I am offering. I wish to do the following, either:


1) Saradomin Tear is fairly cheap in the BH Rewards Shop
2) Saradomin Tear is medium cost upgrade, but offers a much higher degrade period than the Abyssal Tentacle.
3) Saradomin Tear is a permanent upgrade. The Saradomin Sword is no longer tradable and will degrade after 10 hours of combat. Once the Saradomin Sword is broken a player must pay "X" amount of coins to an NPC to fix it. = Cash Sink + Item Sink.


If any of these are done here is what I have effectively managed. The Saradomin Sword after upgrade is now at Abyssal Tentacle standards. The Saradomin Sword is now cost effective to use during training, unlike the Abyssal Tentacle. Thus, it is now fair to upgrade the Abyssal Tentacle to have a STR option. By doing so, players will begin using their Saradomin Swords to train and do slayer, and will use Abyssal Tentacles for PvP. Although Saradomin Sword is 2h, the longevity and extra stats dictate its worth and keep both in value.


I hope this is fair. I really would like an Abyssal Tentacle upgrade re-offered. It seems appropriate now. The original poll to add STR to the item failed by only a few percent. This may be a chance to turn the tables?

If anything I think it is the sara tear that should be used up after 10k hits instead of the sword. Like an earlier post mentioned saradomin tears would be farmable while ss is still a somewhat rare drop from godwars. I don't want to see the prices of SS rise through the roof while farmable pvp items become littered throughout the game and no one wants em.

My solution avoids this.

1 - Keep it fairly cheap in the shop and offer a generous amount of hits. This will make it a farmable PvP item, but highly in demand for the training benefits. As long as the hit duration is more cost effective than the Abyssal Tentacle.

2 - Be assured there are more players training and doing slayer than there are doing PvP. Bounty Hunter wont change that. So by making it a fairly costy reward (but not overboard) we can make it worth a penny or two! It will also be in high demand because of its extreme longevity over Abyssal Tentacle.

3 - This is a risk option to poll, but also my favorite. The point is to make the Saradomin Sword (T) degrade after 10 hours of combat. This introduces both a cash and item sink! Saradomin Sword value would go up. I remind you this is about making the Abyssal Tentacle best for PvP, and Saradomin Sword for PvM by making it extremely cost efficient. Thus, I'd suggest the price to fix it be minimal. Now if you are willing to sacrifice a valuable Saradomin Sword you are rewarded with the best training weapon in game. I also recommend the Saradomin Sword be relatively easy to get. Remember - COST EFFECTIVE.

Don't worry about "farming." It is GOING TO HAPPEN. We cannot avoid this, but I have posted solutions all around.

I admit, I am no professional game designer / developer. These are my own opinions and views on my proposal, and I am damned well entitled to them! I do believe it is a very strong one and I did get Mod Ash to seemingly agree.

I do want to make it well known that I tried to avoid any issues. It is up to the players and Jagex staff to double check my "home work" and correct the issues, if any, if this were to be implemented. I do think the PK community and those eyeballing Saradomin Tear, would both thank you :)
