I wouldn't say completely antiquated. I gave some examples in my previous post.
Also, for consistency sake. The shared cooldown is unrelated. It would be a very easy ninja fix I think.

It is completely antiquated as it came out in 2002. Don't forget it is a T30 offhand item, which is equivalent to a mithril offhand. Unlike the Enhanced Excalibur, it is required to be equipped to activate for a defence buff even lower than we get from the lowest tier potion.

Like all mithril garbage antiquated since 2002, nobody and not even Andrew Gower cared about mithril crap, not even in 2002.

I disagree.
Stoic n Vain said :
It still has use even in this age, especially for extended combat trips, poor players, low level players, or ironmen.
No, it's a t30 mainhand weapon, which is still valid for players who have 30 attack.
No, it doesn't need to be equipped in order to right click/boost your defence level.
Mithril has its place, as does every tier. That's irrelevant to this argument though.
The argument is an unreasonably shared cooldown between two unrelated effects. The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP

ROFL! If mithril has its place, then Andrew Gowers would have done something to improve T30 in 2002.

T30 garbage like Excalibur doesn't need to be updated, especially when the Gowers had decided enhancement and improvement to make the Enhanced Excalibur rather. Antiquated content needs to be either enhanced and modernized to the present standard if they can be, or simply be thrown away if it doesn't worth the time.

I disagree. New content is new content. Old content is old content. Both are relevant depending on what stage you're at within the game. Inconsistencies should be fixed no matter how old or how new. That's my opinion.

If your logic prevails, we now have t95 weapons... therefore all t92, t90 and below content should be removed or updated and if those are updated, then the new t95 weapons need to be removed or updated. The cycle continues. How will people train up their stats? No relevant weaponry is available to train up with. I guess you'll be punching those npcs until you can equip the t120 weapons, which are now the only weapons to exist in the game. Those "antiquated" weapons no longer seem so antiquated and are entirely relevant in the game today and always will be, as a stepping stone. Stoic n Vain said :

You can disagree with me and/or Jagex but I don't see it makes any difference.

Nobody is removing T92 or T90. Neither is anybody removing regular Excalibur. Everybody in Jagex is just moving forward and focus on the new T95 instead of going backward in time with old content.

yea that is kinda weird that it causes u to lose any healing abilities for 5 minutes for reg excalibur for just the def boost easy ninja fix like u said

honestly i was confused by what the initial issue was at the start of the thread but one of the later posts clarified my confusion

edit: i reread the first post i just misread it initially so no issue with it

They are the developers who specifically deal with these types of things. I think it's why that team was created as a matter of fact. As far as I'm aware, what the ninja team does or does not do has no effect on the "new content" being pumped out. That's a different team entirely. Daddy Roshi said :

Old content is only important when they can be improved to new content. As such we have the useless regular Excalibur upgrading to the more modern and useful Enhanced Excalibur. Similarly, we see the older gear like Gloves of Passage getting upgraded and modernized to Enhanced Gloves of Passage.

I don't know why you need to quote a quote of another same quote of your own. Spamming 3 times on the same "bug" you think doesn't make it 3x as argumentative. You can just file 1 bug report for this 20 year "bug" if you think it is a bug, you don't need to even file 3 bug reports.
