Bear in mind thought, name of an item can have many different or no meanings at all.

Just that a piece of garment is called "warpriest" absolutely doesn't mean it is closely related to warpriest. For instance it was named "warpriest" perhaps because the first person who found such type of armor worn by inhabitant of the GWD was a warpriest, and nothing else.

Think of it like Oldak Coil. Do we really have to put any new attitude related to Oldak or Cave Goblin into Oldak Coil? Or do we really need to spin a tale on Oldak Coil?

Exactly! That's what I was trying to say. It's hard for me to convey what I mean by text. So thank you for putting it like that. :)

It probably makes more sense for the warpriest armor since they're actually god-aligned equipment. But Silverlight/Darklight is basically just a magical sword, so...

Not to mention that DL is dyed with demon blood so it makes even less sense for it to get a "holy" boost.

The demon blood makes the sword extra spicy. On-topic, what I'm trying to convey it's they are not necessarily "holy". But from a philosophical view, it's the concept of one's faith making it "holy" or feeling like it is "blessed/ imbed with power" by that god? I don't know how to really explain it via text.

Like using a real-world example, "Religious apparel", even though those apparel has not actually been imbued with power or such. A person considers it a holy item, due to their belief in it being "holy". Gods, I really should stop using the word "holy" as that's like mucking up what I'm trying to say.

There we go, the word I looked at should be more like venerated or revered. So, going back to Darklight, Silverlight. They are venerated/ revered.

Also, decided to check more info on Silverlight and Darklight. Here is the dialogue from Demon Slayer:


Gideon Bede:
"You'll help? Praise Saradomin! I knew you looked righteous! We don't have much time, so listen carefully. I am pursuing Denath, a dangerous and unstable wizard. Denath infiltrated Edgeville Monastery and stole a tome of demonology from my order. The book was once used to summon Delrith, an ancient demon, from the Infernal Dimensions. Delrith has the power to demolish cities and is impervious to all forms of attack, save one - the
holy sword
Silverlight. Silverlight rests in the crypt beneath this very church, watched over by the spirits of its former owners. I've tracked Denath to this city, but I lost his trail. While I hunt him down, I need you to retrieve the sword; should Delrith return to this world, Silverlight shall be our only salvation! Climb down the trapdoor to the south to enter the crypt beneath this church, and retrieve Silverlight."

Tell me about Silverlight.
Gideon Bede:
Silverlight is the only weapon that can harm Delrith and is interred within the crypt beneath this very church. We must secure Silverlight in case the worst should come to pass!
Player:
Why have you not already retrieved Silverlight?
Gideon Bede:
I tried, but the
holy sword
is guarded by the spirits of the dead - three brave souls that wielded Silverlight in life. I faced the spirits' trials but was judged unworthy. I am but an academic. I cannot stop Denath without your help, hero.

Though, since they do technically already have that passive bonus of doing increased damage to "demon" creatures. I suppose they don't really need a prayer bonus. Since, either way, prayer points do get drained fast.

Not exactly a suggestioon for existing game content, but more of an addition to account types. Add one more ala Star Wars: The Old Republic, an account type called "Preferred" that allows a person after not subscribing access to membership skills and locations.

"Preferred
There’s also an in-between state called preferred. Preferred players have a few less restrictions than free-to-play-players, and you can become a preferred player by spending at least $5 on the game either by subscribing for at least one month or by buying some cartel coins. Most preferred players are players that subscribed in the past, but are not currently subscribing. If you subscribed in the past, you’ll keep any expansions you had before, but won’t be able to play any newly released ones until you subscribe again. If you’re currently a preferred player, and are unable to progress all the way to level 80, you will need to subscribe to unlock the most recent expansion."
