(First off, members only. f2p and kiss my bum. And the Ranegr armor out is FINE! They dont need better, its fine :roll: Except...meeling in Hides should lower stats like Ranging in Rune, or Maging in Hides, or Maging in Rune. Know what I mean? :roll: )

 

 

 

(Basically most good Rangers would be carrying around 3 sets of Arrows on them. "3" Ice, Fire, Poison. 8) )And possibly Bolt Racks if they have Karils...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

___Arrows(P)

 

 

 

Nothing to say about this. Everyone already knows about poison Arrows :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

___Arrows(I)

 

 

 

(To make things fair though, chances of freezing against Melee armor is less chance, just like Holding with Mage vs Ranger Armor.)

 

 

 

Anyways...Just a thought...Ice Arrows should Freeze the opponent for 5 secs or so. (And cannot be froze for another 5 seconds after it wears off)The animation for freezing with the Ice would be somewhat like Ice Rush.As for getting these arrows, I don't have any ideas...so suggestions are welcome... :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

___Arrows(F)

 

 

 

And Fire Arrows work like poison, but Red splash damage not green. They should do something around 3 dmg, and then you could poison them too if you were to switch to Arrows(P).

 

 

 

And as for getting Fire Arrows. I know theres some quest you do to get these...but... Lets make firemaking actually helpful, you would need around 70- 85 firemaking to light your arrows on fire. And It wouldnt matter what kind of arrows they are, but obviously Ice Arrows cant be set to fire :P Bolts could also have this done...so people actually use them :lol: ...And Brutal Arrows? Yes those can be set to fire, this way they are actually more helpful too :shock:

 

 

 

Oh and as for getting rid of the constand fire damage, like you can do to poison. Buckets of WATER(or any other water thing such as Waterskin(4) since it's like a 4 dose antipoison)) would be your friend! Anti fire pots cost too much. And since you only require a Tinderbox to set arrows to fire you should need a cheap way of putting fire out.

 

 

 

Poison requires expensive weapon poison, therefore expensive antis. Get it? :roll: Although...it could just require Antifire pots, because us higher lvls can afford those. It's just that lower lvls usually cant is all...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:wink: Just a thought... Would make Rangers less crappy. And I think it could actually fix the triangle... :roll:

Fire arrows are interesting, and as you said they could give some sense to firemaking. The way they act (as poison) is also interesting, cause when you are shot with a fire arrow you begin to burn, nice and slowly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But ice arrows, i don't know, the only way i see it possible is using magic to enchant the arrows into ice arrows.

Good idea....i like the fire arrow idea. Not sure about the ice one....maybe they could have like a random special effect when used? Like every so often freeze your apponent for like 5 secs...just to give rangers a little more variety

"Iron Fire Arrow"

 

 

 

"Steel Fire Arrows"

 

 

 

"Rune Fire Arrows"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few arrows from my bank account.

Ice arrows and fire arrows are already in game.

 

 

 

And a big no to elemental type weapons. You open a big can of worms with that which would require lots of other things to be updated to be justifyed. So we're left with weeks of little updates for no reason whatsoever.

I know they're already in the game. I'm saying they should be changed so they dont suck and are useful. You've probably noticed yourself, Rangers are pretty bad atm. This would help Rangers more then you're thinking it through...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this didn;t happen, those Arrows have no use, I don't think they're even better than Rune.

 

 

 

It wouldn't be one of those "Small" updates :roll:

I totally agree with getting more rangers gear, being a ranger myself, but we should be thinking of new bows and armour...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know Karils Crossbow is new and Karils armour...but apart from that there isnt really any good 50+ Range Gear...

it is a good idea all in all. poison arrows, definately. i am a mage, and i find that mage have so many spells that are support spells and such that overpower. it would be nice to see rangers and even mellee's to get a little bit of support spells

i already suggested something whos alike this.
