Items from other shops
- Depends on which items, some such as d scim would fit well, but maybe others such as seawead and soda ash could be sold, but that may change prices of molten glass it's just hard to get them from the charter shops.

Saradomins tear
- Sounds like an good way to introduce it, although compared to a kraken tentacle I'd prefer a saradomin boss

Dragon spike
- I have no real opposition against it, but I dont like the fact that PKers can easily buy dragon defenders and sell defenders to non pkers. I'd prefer something similar to how rune defenders are gotten.
- I do like the idea of using a dragon spike to upgrade things, maybe it should destroy the rune defender after a certain amount of damage.

Amulet of smiting
- Will it still have the teleports from a glory?
- How long will it last? It should destroy the glory after X amount of prayer drained.

Magic shortbow (i)
- Make this a wilderness only item, then maigc shortbow will still be used and no one will be forced to imbue it.

Dark vessels & souls
- I'd assume a soul is from killing someone/brought at the shop which is a good idea
- Its an interesting idea, but I don't like it and can't imagine how it'd work.

other rewards
Ancients teleport tablets: Make it so we can buy a temporary lecturn for our POH, that'll allow us to make X amount of ancient teleport tablets before it degrades. This'll allow us to get the tablets, and keep the traditional way of getting them.
Target enrage: Sounds strange, would both targets need to use it in order for it to work?
Rune pouch: No thanks. RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

I think you devs should consider add on items for range and mage weapons aswell, not only melee weapons as whip and sara sword.

Range:

Armadyl crossbow should get a item that can be added on to improve it. But instead of deegrading the bow, the add on item will deegrade instead.

This new item would make ACB spec do more damage(10% more, THIS WILL NOT STACK WITH BOLT SPECS ), and increase the overall accuracy to 110+ instead of 100. the level to equip this upgraded bow would be 75.

This new item would have a high price in bounty hunter shop, and would not make acb overpowered, but a little bit more powerfull than it currently was to make it more worth the 14m.

Mage


As for mage, i think the devs should consider add on items to upgrade ahrims staff, as it is useless right now.

This new add on item would deegrade with the staff(both the staff and add on item would deegrade at the same time)

This new add on would make ahrims staff 1 handed and give it a 25% damage boost towards shadow and smoke spells. It would also give a new effect to the entire ahrims set: Smoke spells would do 6 poison damage instead of 4, and shadow spells would be able to drop prayer like the saradomin spell.

This would make ahrims staff and shadow/smoke spells much more usefull and make it a powerfull staff as it should be. I did not hold back on the ahrims staff as it takes more than a small bonus to bring it back to life

New requirement for the new upgraded staff: 75

Saradomin tear is way to underpowered, keep in mind that whips cost alot less and can easely beat an ss with a rune defender or dfs.

I would say bring it up to 8+ str and 16+ slash, and since its blessed bring prayer up to 4+ instead of 2.

This would make it worth to deegrade ss because you get more power out of it, not silly 4+str and 8+slash.

A thing to keep in mind is that whip is 1 handed, and a whip with a rune defender or dfs would still beat the ss despite being cheaper.

Using a blessed ss is way too costly (300gp/hit). What are its stats? Same str but a bit less accurate than tenteacle + dragon defender maybe?

You should be able to use smite scrolls on furies aswell, make the smite amulet a different colour depending on which amulet you used the scroll on.

Lots of pures use it since it doesn't train attack and they can only use a prayer book anyway.

I'd like to see it have +6 strength due to the bandos book being added though.

true, but 2+ more than whip for pures wont really make it op, i think ss should be more powerfull as it is more expensive

Items from other shops

Devaluing the efforts of skillers and PvMers is something that we are set on avoiding with the Bounty Hunter rewards shop. In fact, we hope that many of the rewards will bring more value to items in those areas of the game.

One way of giving emblems value without negatively impacting PvMers or skillers is to stock the Bounty Hunter rewards shop with a number of items that already come from various shops around Old School.

A few examples of this would be dragon scimitars, dragon daggers and berserker helms. These items come almost exclusively from other shops in game and, because of this, it would provide value to the emblems received from Bounty Hunter without hurting other PvMers or skillers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I approve of everything in this blog, except this. Dragon scimitars are an uncommon drop from thermy and dragon daggers are common from elite clues. I really hope you poll everything in this blog separately (items from other shops, blessed sara sword, etc).

I know, because I have over 50 dragon scimitars in the bank from thermy and no doubt, the cost of the dragon scimitar will fall (probably to alch value of 60k, like the dragon long/ dragon dagger already have).

In the past, these scimitars really are a pain to sell and bringing in more methods into the game of obtaining them will of course hurt PvMers especially.

I definitely don't want more of these to come to old school, decrease the price, increase the supply and most likely make them even more of a trouble to sell.

This is bad, it's not good enough for people to buy these tokens or worth pking for them in a few months. The only "useful" item here is the amulet of smiting and a dragon defender, we need armour or something that is untradeable and degrades from these that people would constantly buy and make demand for the tokens, I don't see some clue casket or some stupid ring doing this at all.
