Bestiary

I have already made a topic on the rs official forum, but i feel like i might get some support by posting here as well.

 

 

 

here's the quick find code if you're interested

Hello, i really like doing quests and the achievement diaries that have been made so far.

 

 

 

But, looking at the quest log and achievement diaries has given me an interesting idea...

 

 

 

an additional diary/log; a bestiary containing elementary information about monsters that you have defeated.

 

 

 

Information would include

 

* How many of this monster you have defeated

 

* Aggressive/non aggressive

 

* Examine detail

 

* Hitpoints

 

* Possibly item drops

 

* Possibly defence and attack bonuses

 

 

 

the details given i think should not completely strip down the monster by giving it's defence points or attack bonuses.

 

I would like for this to be as it would give me a great advantage against monsters so i could battle them

 

more efficiently but this may make the bestiary too over-powered. like adding a "drop x" function to your inventory.

 

Item drops would be pretty cool, but i would need your input regarding this. if it would be acceptable, or overpowering.

 

 

 

Monster addition would happen only after you have defeated the monster, or even better.

 

after defeating a set number of them.

 

the easier like rats and bats would be around 20

 

while you'd only have to defeat one Tz-Tok Jad.

 

 

 

this bestiary could even be further expanded by making it sort of like a skill,

 

where if you have defeated all of the monsters and have had their information written in your book,

 

that you would have the opportunity of buying a skill cape.

 

 

 

some monsters i think should NOT be in the book if you cant fight them again after doing a quest.

 

say fighting fareed or the culinaromancer etc.

 

OR these could be automatically added to the diary if you've already defeated them so that the

 

opportunity of completing the bestiary isn't gone.

 

 

 

i know that there are better ways of providing this monster information.

 

but what i'm implying here is personal goals.

 

just about anyone can find out how to make an amulet of fury...

 

but not everyone HAS made one.

Umm, tip.it has the best bestiary around. Why do you want another one?

[fmv_hero]

i know, i love the tip.it bestiary.

 

 

 

i'm sorry that i didnt make this clear that the main purpose of this bestiary

 

is to obtain all of the data for the monsters by killing them so you can complete the book

 

and have an opportunity to buy a skill cape, like the quest skill cape.

 

 

 

it might be possible for it done creatively so it didnt clash too much

 

with a more efficient bestiary where you don't need to kill the monster to have drop info/hp/etc.

 

 

 

EDIT: or, it could just be sort of a "monster checklist" then.

 

this cape would be really annoying to get because you'd need friends to help with the un-soloable monsters like GWD bosses or the KBD

Thats a horrible idea! #1 Ruin drop mining #2 Ruin everything!

 

 

 

Dropping is supposed to be hard so you don't over us it.

 

 

 

No Support for the new bestiary either.

 

 

 

Just another nooby skill cape.

 

 

 

If you can't get a real skill cape, then don't get 1 at all

[fmv_hero]

ouch.

 

 

 

i wasn't condoning a drop x function, and explain further why the cape would be nooby?

 

 

 

i can see that it would be along the same lines as quest or cooking or fletching.

 

but you could say the same about any skillcape, like construction i think is respectable, but someone else says that it's easy because it can be bought. same for crafting.

if you bothered to read his post, you'd see that that was an example of an overpowered idea, and that he doesn't want his idea to become overpowered like the addition of drop X would be :roll:

 

 

 

on topic: i think this is a pretty cool idea.. particularly the kill-count idea. i don't know how possible it would be with memory allowances etc.. but it'd be cool to see how many abyssals i'd kill since my last whip etc :P It could maybe be incorporaed into the slayer skill.. perhaps to let you into a new dungeon or guild type area.
