Dragon Scimitar, Barrelchest Anchor, Bandos Agility Arena...

Any other weapons/rewards of quests that have been nerfed on the history of runescape? I know there have been a few.

How was the Dragon Scim nerfed? Probably happened before I started playing. If it was on par with the whip I'm going to stab someone. I've been wanting a decent looking training weapon for ages, and if the D Scim was a bit better, that would be it.

Used to be longsword speed, was a pretty good weapon.

 

 

 

And nevermind about the Scimitar then.

That was the Abyssal whip, not the dragon scimitar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the Barrelchest Anchor. Yes it was nerfed. But it had to be nerfed, it was far too overpowered by any standards.

I remember the anchor being nerfed.

 

 

 

Wasnt it the speed of a whip and had a higher strength bonus?

 

 

 

I recorded some at the duel arena with it before it was nerfed.

You either hit your max or 0 I believe.

No. The old whip special cast ensnare on a player or monster for like 5 or 10 seconds.

The Whip special was max or 0, people who tell you otherwise have not been playing RuneScape for long enough.

Whip and maul were max or 0, they had the same spec. And the d scim did snare you on the spot, and anchor was longsword speed. Just confirming those.

I don't remember the anchor ever being nerfed, but I'll take your word on it since I don't think I was a member at the time that the quest came out. I don't know what they did with the dragon scimitar other than its special used to work on the kalphite queen in being able to stop her prayer from working and now it doesn't do that.

Loads of things have been nerfed, i remember the whip one well (max or 0) They haven't even mentioned half of the nerfing (for example Bone Crossbow

 

 

Just got this off runescape wiki

 

 

 

Originally when the anchor was first released, the Strength bonus was 80 and the cost to buy a new anchor was 50,000 coins, along with the speed being 5 bars on Jagex's scale. It was then changed to 700,000 coins for a new one with an 87 strength bonus. Later, it was changed again to 230,000 coins for all repairs and stats changed to 92 crush and 100 strength bonus, as well as achieving the current speed.

Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

I remember hearing about the whip being nerfed, but was too poor to get one.. so it didn't affect me. :P

 

 

 

I also think the old whip animation was cooler.

I remember the bone cbow and anchor nerf, but I wasn't playing back then for the d scim and whip.

Mage Short Bow

 

Winner winner Chicken Dinner, only problem is that it's not a quest related item...but nerfed...very much so.

 

 

 

I remember all the other specials being nerfed, most specifically the anchor, because that is the one I had used to some extent before the nerf. Oh well, they are just trying to keep the game "balanced"...

A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

Nerfing you say? Karambwan, chocolate bombs, air striking, flowering, whip, dscim, gmaul, anchor, msb, freemagexpatsc, "unidentified herbs?", etc etc etc... can't think of any more, the damn Karambwan nerf annoyed me though.
