Starfury Sword

[Vroqren]

I just got my Starfury sword, and am strongly disappointed. It took me quite a while to get the starlight ore, as I didn't want to buy it off people, and the weapon is not that great. I can see the use behind the scaling levels, but why have them stop at 60?

 

Anyway, I've got two suggestions that contradict each other for this topic.

 

1. Make the weapon single handed. It takes much longer to get than the money for say, a BGS, and a BGS has quite better stats. Now, if it was single handed, I would use it a lot more because I could use a shield or godbook with it. But all that time I spent collecting starlight ore was useless because I'll never use it! What's the point of using that, when I could use so many better 2h weapons?

 

2. Make the scale on starfury weapons go to 80, and maybe even 99. That would be another reason I would use it: If it were better than the other 2h weapons. I really like the idea of scaling weapons, I just don't understand why limit their max damage to level 60 (1/52 of max exp in attack).

 

As I mentioned, these two suggestions contradict each other. Both combined would, imo, be too powerful, but with the ever increasing damaging weapons, that Jagex seems to have no end of, who knows.

I don't think that a SOF promotional weapon should be the best weapon in the game. Hell, it shouldn't even have stats.

And I understand this, but it wasn't just an SOF promotional, as I got a lot of my ore from mining.

Only except that it is. It's meant to be a fun weapon with little practical use, as seen by the level cap. However, they realize not all players buy spins, so they allow you to gain these weapons by way of skilling. DIY players are the only ones with real use of the weapons.

 

However, I do agree that they should scale the weapons to 80 since they want to give it stats. It seems odd they add stats up to 60. If they are giving these fun weapons stats they might as well bring it to 80 or 90. As I said before DIY account are the only real account that have the most use for these weapons. Also, these weapons are weaker than their tiered counterparts and Diango charges us to buy thee weapons back. So I agree on point 2. They should either remove the tiered stats or tier it to 80, while making it at least 5 tiers weaker than their counterparts.

Lol, I don't buy spins, and I certainly don't see what's "fun" about wasting time to get a worthless item.

*sigh* Sorry, I realize this has turned into a rat, I was just really disappointed with this weapon.

Uh... You should probably have looked up the stats before getting it?

I never said it was fun to get. I said the item itself was a fun weapon. As in something like the rubber chicken. something sorta cool to have or fashionscape with. The weapon actually has a use if you a DIY or a lower level, or both. For a low level DIY player this is perfect. Yes it is one tier weaker but that won't mean much if they only have say 40 attack. The EE is one tier lower than a offhand drygore but is such a near substitute that chaotic claw + EE or Drygore mace + EE is a recommended melee weapon choice on the forums. Especially if you want to save money. Of course at high levels or even 70+ it is useless, but that's what most SoF promotion weapons are. They really aren't for high level veteran players but new players.

tbh you should just unlock skins for all the SOF cosmetics when you get them, so you can use them with your preferred items.

Good luck adding more than one item to a specific slot of the Dragon keepsake box.
