and to continue:


Likewise, the target should also be afflicted with Smoke Cloud to take advantage of the spell's critical damage increase as the staff can easily snowball massive amounts of damage with the proper boosts. The player can also utilise Erethdor's grimoire to further increase their critical hit chance.

The special attack does not grant its critical hit effect in PvP scenarios but does not go on cooldown either.


They dont seem like equitable items in practicality (what they accomplish for the player) to me even though the price wanted for them is simular.

Maybe I can get happy if someone can tell me what skillers have that sell for 3.2 Billion and Hundreds of Millions. Guildmaster Tony's Mattock: 5.6-6.0B
Tavia's Fishing Rod: 2.6-3.4B
Sana's Fyrtorch: 157M
Tagga's Corehammer: 114M
Cryptbloom Helm: 537M
Cryptbloom Top: 759M
Cryptbloom Bottoms: 685M
Cryptbloom Gloves: 24M
Cryptbloom Boots: 203M
Scripture of Bik: 42M
Inquisitor Staff: 300M
Spear of Annihilation: 51M
Terrasaur maul: 269M
Masterwork Helm: 12M
Masterwork Platebody: 29M
Masterwork Platelegs: 18M
Masterwork Gloves: 6M
Masterwork Boots: 6M

Listed above are some of the most profitable items that are obtainable from pure skilling.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you, A Cole


Im just going to take one item based on price comparision -

Tavia's Fishing Rod -

Tavia's fishing rod has a small chance of granting all three Deep Sea Fishing boosts (5% additional Fishing experience, a 10% chance to gain an additional catch, and a 10% fishing rate boost) for 10 minutes.

I would never pay billions for that kind of perk, but that doesnt mean someone else cant. Its just too limited in my personal honest opinion. Maybe if I had everything else I need or want and a few billion burning a hole in my pocket.

On the other hand.....

Your personal preference absolutely doesn't change the fact that skillers are making the big dough in RS3 and other pleyers are buying them.

Dilbert, are you trying to hijack my thread?

It seems like you want to disrupt my posts.

How would you make Tavia's Fishing Rod in particular more equitable with like-priced combat items?

Remember, if it's too OP, the price goes up even further because more players will want it.


~A~

I dont know how I would make it less limited Cole.

My focus is on equity. I see a lot more FSOA's being requested than Tavia's. Rarely do I see players spamming to buy Tavias. I see multiples spamming for FSOA at the same time.

Demand doesnt seem equitable.

Limitations on each item doesnt seem equitable, although I will give you that that may be a hard comparison to make.

10 minutes vs 60 seconds for cooldowns doesnt seem equitable, does it? I dont know...

I also dont know how many Tavias are available for resale.

Are the drop rates equitable, aside from them both being rare items? I dont know.

If I get a red map am I guaranteed a Tavias? Probably not, but I dont know.

The price each item commands is basically a ratio of supply:demand. This means it doesn't really matter if there is more of one item than another. What matters is that there are enough of each of those items to cover the demand that those items has.

The perks on Tavia's Fishing Rod are perhaps underwhelming when you compare them to combat items. However, when you compare them to the next best fishing item, they are immense. Anyone who is keen on fishing will be perfectly happy to pay those costs, particularly when hero items hold their value very well.

You may see more demand for combat items, but you will have to remember that there are a lot more players wanting to do combat than there are wanting to skill, and also combatants put themselves in harms way more often. The better items they have, the harder it is for the NPCs to kill them before they kill the NPCs.

No, pvmers don't get a lot of expensive items only skillers can get. Besides, there are virtually no cost needed to obtain big ticket skilling drop but it is very often costly to just spend on consumables, scrimshaws, charges, repairment for pvming. That's why skillers are relevant in the economy and they should have no probem paying 2% GE tax.

No. I meant to quote your reply and extend to it to show why the GE tax is actually balanced for both skillers and pvmers.

Perhaps you should have started your response with "In addition to this" rather than "No". It looks like you're disagreeing with the quote, and making an argument that has nothing to do with it.
