Easy way to fix fix Javelins!!!

I like the idea, but too much tokens to bother with.

Actually a cool idea. It would have to change javelins to ammunition, though, which would be weird, as they are currently equipped in the weapon slot. Maybe an NPC could convert them for you?

You could just use javalin on atatl, and it would sort of bind them together, that could go in the weapon slot. Then a right click option "disbind" or something

I like the idea, and I remember this from Redwall as well. :thumbsup:

Could make the atatl wieldable in the ammo slot.

I like this. Pretty creative.

Or they could make some funny little backpack quiver in which you could put your javelins, like a ninja. Admittedly it'd mean Jagex actually having to animate a fighting style well, but other than that it should be no problem.

I like it, however, the range you are suggesting is very long, isn't it? I read somewhere that magic and the crystal bow have 10 range. The the javelin/atlatl range should be shorter.

 

While the atlatl is capable of casting a dart well over 100 meters, it is most accurately used at distances of 20 meters or less

 

(from the article you linked) I think bows can shoot accurately a little further than that. If my range figures are off, well... just keep javelins (relatively) short-ranged weapons.

 

Second: Dragon javelins might go a long way to make javelins viable weaponry. Extrapolating and guessing, they'd have low 50's attack and high 50's strength. That's about as good as the +58 ranged attack and +57 ranged strength for the magic atlatl/rune javelin combination, and the +69 and +49 for obsidian rings, which are also level 60. Since attack bonusus are easier to come by, the atlatl/javelin and (possibly) the dragon javelin are in the same leage as or better than the rings, which are pretty good, I hear.

 

Third: The fun part! Dragon javelins/dark atlatl anyone? 200k tokens, 80 range, +30 attack, +20 strength, for a grand total (based on a guess) of +82 attack and +76 strength. Ouch! No threat to Morrigan, I suppose, but it's a ranged whip! And it totally beats the chaotic crossbow in awesomeness.

 

In short, I support this. I think it needs very little tweaking to make it fit right into my bank :thumbsup:.

 

Do you have a solution for throwing axes?

The whole point of the atlatl is to make the javelins Throw Farther, The throwing range could be tweaked

But there needs to be a oomph that makes javelins worth it and runescape is not exactly realistic

for example, if you put a sight on a longbow does that really make it 4x more accurate?

 

That is a good point though.
