Upgrade Revenant Drops!

[warren211]

I'll start to the point: revenant drops are very poor, they need to be increased to make killing them worthwhile!

 

Currently, revenants usually drop coins (if not nothing at all) and if you manage to smite all their protect item prayer off, you MAY get something better. The problem is: 1)smiting a high level rev can be difficult, use a lot of prayer, and you'll probably take lots of damage in the process using more supplies. 2) Revs have a tendency to dissappear in the middle of a fight, seemingly for no reason. If a long fight has exhausted most of your supplies, nothing is more aggravating than having it dissappear right before you can kill it, and wasting all your time and supplies instead.

 

I am a VERY experienced rev hunter. I've killed dozens upon dozens of revenants, mainly orks, knights, and dark beasts. I've hunted revs in gear ranging from veracs, dharoks, ranging gear, bandos. I've even tried rev hunting in rune in f2p.In these fights, out of those who actually didnt tele from the fight and those that didn't run me out of supplies first and those that didn't drop nothing, almost every one of them dropped coins (and i smited them all of course). I've only gotten 2 loots outside of coins: a dragon long, and an amulet of glory. And yes, I am almost totally positive you need to smite to get a drop. If you don't smite, the only way to get a drop is to run the fight long enough so their prayer runs out (and yes they do have ppots) and hope they don't tele in the middle. And don't forget, they can poison in deep wilderness, they have all 3 combat styles, they can freeze, teleblock, and eat. And when they die, you have to be very lucky to get something good. That's a hell of a lot to go through for drops worth under 100k. There seems to be very little incentive to actually kill revenants. In f2p it's even worse since you can't smite and the gear has less than half the bonuses of good p2p armor. Fighting revs is pointless in f2p.

 

All I want is for revenants to have an actual drop table, one that doesn't require smiting to access. I don't think that's too much to ask, it'll give people an incentive to train in the wilderness with fighting gear rather than fleeing gear. It will provide a good opportunity to hunt revenants as a sport with friends without burning too much money on supplies. Finally, it will give former rev hunters like me a reason to return to my old pastime, without worrying about throwing away too much money because the drops may cover it or give a slight profit.

I've long been a supporter of giving Orks+ the ability to very rarely drop Sigils, with Rev Dragons having roughly the same chance as the CB to drop one. Spirit Shields are far too expensive to be practical.

Well in my opinion revs are supposed to have crappy drops... But they should also have some decent drops... IMO they should drop things a pker of any time span might have worn.

If jagex made them to be like pker's of old then why don't they give you rewards like a pker would?

 

They are all dirty one itemmers. and they don't do anything good for us except annoyance

 

Pkers never carried their bank with them if it was in gold.

I agree that revenants should have better drops. They are currently the hardest monsters to fight in F2P, and the reward is absolute crap.

 

Even the exp per hit is lower than average (1 exp per damage point). It should be the normal exp/dp, heck even double the exp/dp.

I think you have to use teleblock on them or fight them in high level wildy to avoid them disappearing.

There drops are terrible, I've killed a few when they block my TT location and the best I had was a few coins.

[Shangdi]

I agree with ya man...I mean, they were supposed to replace PKers...a PKer would have been wearing rune at the least (the higher lvl ones), and up to various barrows and bandos items...

Sorry, I think they should too, but Jagex stated they won't make their drops better. Their purpose isn't to be hunted, it's just to make the wilderness a more dangerous place.

I remember thinking that they dropped sigils and elixirs after Summer's End was released. I actually did a lot of rev hunting hoping that I was right. Alas... but, anyway, I like the idea of revs dropping sigils. I think they should be extraordinarily rare, however.

[DemonicSushi]

Yeh i love killling them its so fun but i get freakin bones and nothing else... it should have like a very rare drop like a Dragon Visage but like a Rev Head or somting that u could use on the spirit shields worth around 500k :)

[Star_Fox]

they were meant to be a threat of the wilderness. including drops that are valuable enough to yield hunters will eliminate that purpose.

How? Revenants wander all over the wilderness. They'd be a heck of a lot harder to hunt than normal boss monsters. They'd still be dangerous to anyone not specifically hunting them.

[stonewall337]

Jagex didn't design them to be hunted for drops. It really is as simple as that.

[Friendyboy]

As already stated, these are not meant to be camped at. Even if this is untrue, surely when you realised that there is no return on killing them, you would stop wasting your p pots and supplies?

 

There is no problem with revenants in my opinion.

lol ok but who the hell uses p pots at revs? anyone with 45+ prayer can kill 1 or 2 revs without running out :P

[homowz]

revs are a tread to pll skilling/running around in the wild... why the heck would they need to have good drops?

if jagex makes them drop sigils/visage or any other rare costy item, they will be camped as hell...

(seriously killing even a rev dragon can be done without to many suplies and alone... not something u can say about corp)

 

the rev head is good idea tho, just something u can hang up in ur PoH and competely useless for anything else...

We are not debating how Jagex designed them, or if Jagex has plans to update them.. We are debating whether they should be changed for more valuable drops. Personally, I agree. By all means, they should not be dropping Sigils, nor should the drops be formulated to be a profitable as normal PvP, but at the very least we deserve a consistent drop table for such powerful enemies.
