Certainly forgotten about the shade skull :)

What would you think about attaching one to a limitless staff (those are also new tier 82 degrading upgrades of mystic staves) and create a necrolord one?
That would be amazeballs of course, but Mod Daze didn't respond when I mentioned it. :s Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

A bit sad, but maybe it'll eventually come.

Anyway - Got a few new suggestions

- Buff up battlestaves to tier 45, mystic staves to 55 and add an 'Crumble Undead' special attack to staves with a shade skull (including a potential limitless variant) attached: It will consume 50 % adrenaline and deal 250 % spell damage to any undead creature. Wearing a salve amulet will buff the damage caused to 275 % and an enchanted salve amulet to 300 %. The working monster list is updated to the one used for salve amulets.
- Add the skills necklace teleports as potential destinations to the skills portals in the max guild and add all skill portal teleports to the skills necklace. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Will add that in a bit. Meanwhile, list of quest fixes from this thread for Master Stu. They focus directly on gameplay, rather than (post-quest) rewards. Priority stuff in boldface.

- Any buff to (quest) monsters and poison that could be squeezed in would be nice, see page 1
- Allow the Shaikahan to be killed once more, using (kp) spears and hastae.
- Have mourners on Arandar once more throw vials at players to drain all their stats and health to level 20.
- Add a hidey-hole to the Poison Waste grapple shortcut.
- Substantially buff damage dealt by Vyrewatch tithings (10% of max health) and swamp decay. Also, Vyrewatch are bugged and don't actually tithe you when they land to do so.
- Make Vyrewatch consistently use Melee, and fix the bugged ones in lowest sector Darkmeyer.
- Make the max hit of the Temple of Light shadows 1300 again, up from 272, and their health 1500 up from 100.
- Buff the Pest Queen across the board, and make her body impassable for elite defilers again.
- Replace instances of disease (e.g. Jiggig, fever spiders, Scabarite Hive monsters and traps) with Constitution draining. Super restore potions would heal this at a much lesser rate than they restore other skills, whereas Relicym's balm would work much better.
- Lift the Birthright o/t Dwarves wielding requirement for relevant dragon weapons.
- Graphically update sandstorms from Shadow of the Storm to use sandnado graphics from the beach event.
- Update Sir Ceril's graphics during Ratcatchers.
- Swap Brother Tranquillity's zombie and human animations.
- Update the dwarves in the Another Slice of H.A.M. cutscene. (can use generic models)
- Revert the graphics of the Hazeel and Enakhra apparitions, who look inconsistent with the other ones.
- Give the Sophanem Slayer Dungeon guard a face mask.
- Update Turael in the White Knights' Castle during While Guthix Sleeps. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

- Re-add the Osman and Jex cutscene to Contact!, which is missing.
- See bottom post of page 1 for quest items that cannot be reclaimed/stored in the POH.
- Add Peck the goebie to Mazcab after Call of the Ancestors.
- Add Sorin to Burgh de Rott.
- Require Fire Wave to be used to ignite the explosive barrels in Nomad's Requiem (it's broken atm).
- Restore the boneguard sequence in Enakhra's Lament (also broken).
- Make Karamja rum unbankable.
- Disable the toolbelt in the Entrana dungeon for Lost City's sake. Since magic requires a weapon, however, add a staff spawn in the dungeon, or allow casting spells without one.
- Buff desert heat to be dangerous again.
- Prevent the Desert Treasure stranger from spawning inside minigames and D&D's, and fix his glitchskin. (Stu can't do the latter by himself probably)

I realise this is a long list, but hopefully some stuff can be done! Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Got some more suggestions for today:

- Improvements for Tolna's rift and its inhabitants:

* The rift and all its inhabitants are graphical polished. Nice to have: Full graphical rework
* All creatures now feature stats and experience rewards adequate to their combat levels. To compensate the lack of drops they grant 20 % more experience than usual.
* The creatures now have different weaknesses
* Fear reapers now count as spiritual creatures for certain item effects.
* All other creatures will drop bones
* Upon defeating any creature players have a 1:500 chance to learn a missing 'Scare Tactics' ability (Shock, Horror, Demoralise or Rout). Players still can obtain and use the 'Scare Tactics' book to learn all missing abilities at once.

- Improvements to splitbark armour and its materials

* Zaff's Superior Spellcasting now sells finished pieces of armour instead of raw materials
* Trading mole skins and claws rarely award bark in addition to the nest, noses uncommonly
* The King Black Dragon can now also drop fine cloth
* The Chaos Elemental can now also drop both items
* Hollow trees now grant bark much more commonly and chests in the shade catacombs now always drop cloth alongside a secondary reward. A chest's material now defines the span of cloth obtained, while the colour defines the weighing towards multiple keys.
* Shades and Catablepons can now rarely drop fine cloth
* Moss giants can now rarely drop bark
* The tier 1 luck drop table can now award both items

Both morytania activities are supposed to be best and most reliable way to obtain the materials, while not locking out f2p ironmen to lay their hands on it.

- Grant the ring of whispers a luck tier of 2 (or 3 if having the agent of the eldest outfit unlocked). Tier 4 luck rings will inherit the ring of whispers effect if used with the rest of set. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

I'd rather fine cloth be limited to Shade chests only, to be honest. The rewards are already relatively lacklustre, being mostly adamant and rune gear for the best chests, whereas the fine cloth is a good money-maker. Also if Zaff were to sell finished splitbark armour, that'd make Jalarast useless. Since splitbark is not a standard armour set but a niche one with extra high melee defence, its difficulty in obtaining is fine IMO.

Tolna's stuff sounds good though I don't know if it's wise to introduce another source of Scare Tactics so soon after release.

Also, I heard the Fishing update features a shop that literally sells Stealing Creation points, amongst other things. What the heck? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Since the EoC Splitbark is standard t40 tank armour as the magic equivalent to green dragon or adamant - it hasn't got any special mechanic otherwise attached, so players will replace batwing with it and change it out for mystic later. You currently can simply buy fine cloth and bark at Zaff - the latter for 1 coin per piece, so I think a fairer distribution to other content would be adequate (as you'll normally can't buy your standard materials for other skills at a vendor as well) - and I think improved loot in the shade catacombs wouldn't hurt at all. For the price of the armour I think an higher than usual price for zaff would be fair to respect the creation costs.

My issue with scare tactics is it being used to unlocked a set of low levelled abilities, that will never be available to f2p ironmen - and only much later to p2p ones. As tolna's creatures are significantly easier (even after an adequate buff) to defeat than the new horrors abilities should be received rarer, untradeable and only one at a time - while players spend their time and hone their skills as the rift is intended. I do not think it will that negatively affect the value of the tome as regular players will most likely purchase it in order to save a lot of time. Besides a completionist requirement will get certain players to earn/buy the abilities that would normally not go for it.

The deep fishing hub vendor isn't nearly as bad as it sounds first: He sells two random items per day (alongside an improved uncharted isles map (4-6 ressources instead of the regular 3-5), which all can only be bought once daily. Furthermore you'll have to wait for his spawn (as he is one of many d&ds at the hub)

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Travelling_Merchant%27s_Shop (full currently known stock)

In terms of stealing creation you'll get points equal to 2-5 rounds (depending on luck) for 600k coins once every few days/weeks. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

A few more suggestions:

- An idea to make certain item rewards useful again that were devalued by the tool belt: Add a 3 % increased catch rate bonus to both kinds of cast nets and barb-tailed harpoons and allow them to be added to the tool belt as an upgrade to the regular variants. The harpoon boost is also applied to barehanded fishing once it is added.
- When new tools (or possible upgrades to existing tools) are added 'The tool' title should be locked until the tool belt is equipped with the best possible items again. The title now also considers the dungeoneering variant and goes hand-in-hand with a completionist requirement achievement.
- Allow the old diary found in a crate near the odd old man after defeating the skeletal horror once to be added to the bookcase of a POH. Make reading it a requirement of the 'Lovingly Crafted' achievement, as it is also part of the horrors lore. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Hm fair enough. Due to a lack of space (one thinks I should have learnt by now) I'll just refer the reader to this page.

By old diary, do you just mean the man's diary that's a reward from the Fur 'n' Seek Wishlist that currently can't be added to a POH (in which case, already on this thread :) ) or some new lore book?
