You had a 1 in 65,536 chance of landing on the Sigil Drop table. The Sigil drop table took a random number between 0-7 (8 numbers as 0 counts as a number) and decided what to give you.

In order of the most common to rarest;

Spectral
Arcane
Elysian
Divine

Don't really understand this Reach ^

I can't vote in favour of anything Corp related without a discussion about Lootshare. The projected value of these drops will require a player to assemble a team of 4-6 players who they can trust unequivocally to not scam them. This is easier said than done.

Without some sort of LS system, players who are not already part of an established Pvm clan (and can draw from a larger pool of "trustworthy" members) will be disadvantaged.

Furthermore, I would like the Development team to consider a change to the death system for this boss. With the high probability of dying and the fact that our items become visible immediately when we die, looting will be endemic unless a system is put in place to combat this. I would rather not have to risk losing my Karil's top to a looter everytime I die because one will be waiting outside, ready to try and get my stuff before someone I trust does.

I also would prefer to not have to imbue my ring everytime I die either. Currently, when you die with an imbued item that you do not protect, it is dropped in the un-imbued form, requiring a player to go back to NMZ and pay to imbue it again. This should be looked into prior to Corp release.

Drops are fine though, I actually think the "new" divine would be more useful than the original.

I hate this soooo much. Just the general drops are overpowered, they will inflate the economy (high alches) and they will make other money making methods less good. Why do we even need a boss that requires so many expensive supplies? What happened to the good old days in which nobody ever used brews?

The spirit shields will ruin the balance of pvm. You'll be able to stay at bosses for longer if you have the shields so you'll make more profit. But the prices of items will drop so other players will get less money at for example god wars dungeon.

I also don't like them for pvp, especially as nobody ever get smited anymore anyways. Zaros is evil: "Zaros plainly requested the use of twelve legions of demons. (..) Zaros offered the secrets of travel between the worlds, to allow the Chthonians to devour whole new races rather than be reduced to preying on each other." From Sliske's Memory

Uhhh...isn't the Divine nerf making it better overall since you don't have to worry about getting bottlenecked by prayer potions?

I'll be voting yes either way, but still, that's not quite right. =/

I don't really play OSRS, but this looks awesome!

But why do you intent to let the divine be the best shield of the 4, again?
I think the prayer drain is a nice trade off for an increased absorb of damage, though the drainage should be tweaked to not be too massive as before.

There is no reason for divine to be stronger than the others, unless it gets a bit trade-off or a lower drop rate.

Nerfing divine like that is such a dumb idea. Then Elysian would just be a very slightly worse version of divine and there would not be any point in having it if you have a divine. Elysian used to be better than divine in some cases because it didn't drain pray. Keep divine how it was.
