PvP armour , give it a use!

[Calzo]

PvP armour and to some extent all of the PvP weapons is now considered by many as pure junk and does not even sell for min price on the ge. This is to do with that fact that the normal armour only lasts for an hour and the corrupt versions only last for 15 mins! Even though these items have amazing stats , what incentive is there to use this armour ? when an item like torags is a cheap alternative that does not disintergrate after 1 hour and costs 3k an hour to use unlike some of the armour which can costs 3m+ an item.

 

 

 

I propose that Jagex give these armour's a use. So that pk'ers can actually sell their pvp armour drops and people actually begin to use them.

 

 

 

I believe that a system should be implemented that while wearing pvp armour or weapons the chance of recieving high levelled loot is increased. This could be adapted so that the more armour you wear the bigger the potential loot could be. New items should also be introduced with this change. Items that are unbuyable on the ge atm such as d claws or spirit shields could become extremely rare drops , this may cause some to enter the game and maybe lower the prices of such usefull yet unavailable items.

 

 

 

This change would cause the people who pk for drops to actually use this armour as it could actually give them a profit with kills , unlike atm where its so expensive that you have to have very high pk points to profit with the drops while wearing it.

 

 

 

Any thoughts ?

The more rare the drops, the less of that item are in the game, the less of that item in the game (and the demand still high), the price will continue to go up, not lower :wall:

 

Edit: Spirit shields are ~45k, is this too much for you?

He/she was not referring to the 45k Spirit Shields.

 

 

 

Personally, I would like to see SOMETHING done with regards to the PvP armor. It's amazing, and there are people who PK with it (Sxq is a good example). Perhaps it was meant to be something fun to use. People blow millions on barrage runes for CW - why not blow millions for an hour of slaughter?

Currently they're not pvp drops ... so how could it make less of them in the game? if a small amount is dropped in PvP

 

 

 

And i was reffering to shields such as divine and elysian which when reading my post is pretty obvious. :wall:

Not enough people use it though , as it is near impossible to sell on ge and is seen as pure junk.

who in there right mind would spend over 1m on something that lasts 30 mins lol :lol:

Exactly... So its needs a use , increasing the potential for good drops would cause people to use it as it may give profit.

How about, you get 2000 (or however many you can get currently in 1 hour, 2000 was my estimate) hits with the armour against another player on a pvp world, or 10000 (5x the amount in pvp) hits on an npc on any world. That way, after you wear the armour it won't vanish for just wearing it.

 

Oh, and those 2 numbers would scale with each other, so every 5 npc hits the total goes down by 1.

 

This would make them a little more than useless, because you wouldn't have to use it all in 1 go.

I must admit, so many millions for an hour is unreasonably expensive. You either have to lower the price or increase the power.

 

 

 

I'm for increasing the power, because the principle of the PvP sets is a good idea, and Jagex will take it upon themselves as the authority in item prices, and they will never get it right anyway . [minirant]Damn you Jagex, let us set the prices already... [/minirant]

 

 

 

They should only degrade during combat, not just wearing. I reckon they should increase the probability of PvP only drops (like Brawling Gloves, Corrupt Dragon and more PvP armour/weapons). Maybe introduce some new rare and useful reward (untradable would be a bonus here) that you can only get if you make a kill using a PvP set?
