How it should have ended

[Sir_Kurity]

Yea 10 strength is nuts.

 

Zammy book is +8 attack and still attracts insane prices.

 

10 strength will have all the pures having a fit, infact anyone who likes high hits will go nuts and the prices would raise to insane amounts.

My thoughts on Ornamental kits for Dragon armour. They just give tweaks to the looks but this could of been a perfect oppurtunity to bring a bit more life into an old armour set that still maintains quite some value!

 

I was thinking thanks to the spikes that perhaps they could be attached and result in the armour pieces gaining strength bonuses, perhaps +2 to each armour piece.

 

I was thinking of just leaving the gold trimming as nothing more than decoration, but I decided perhaps it would be nice to have a slight prayer bonus, again, +2 to each armour piece.

 

Just giving a slight improvement to an out of date set of armour. You still need to pay a bit of money, or get lucky enough to get these items as drops, and then get lucky enough to get a kit or buy one, so why not give them a slight bonus?

 

Heck they could throw in a free teleport to the TzHaar bank on the Fury Amulet ornamental kit. Again, nothing overpowered, but hey, why not make these 'trimmings' slighlty more unique since they come seperately from the equipment themselves?

 

Dragon platelegs could become a much cheaper alternative to Bandos tassets, and the Dragon Square Shield which is pretty badly beaten by the tremoundous amount of shields could gain a bit of redemption.

 

It would be nice to see a little more variety in higher levels using certain gear, I find it pretty boring going on a slayer task and seeing everyone in near enough the same setup. Let's have a bit of a change Jagex!

How do you think people would feel if Jagex gave out furies and dragon full helms/platebodies as treasure trail rewards? There would be an outcry. Ornament kits are Jagex's way of giving us trimmed dragon armor, armor not included.

i like your ideas. imo they should have just made druidic a decent mage/range/prayer hybrid set. maybe combining the stats of red dhide, mystic, and prossy? oh who am i kidding.

10 strength would be a little much, I don't think 8 strength is unreasonable though.

 

Substantially worse attack bonuses then a rune defender, and pretty much nonexistent defence compared to a DFS.

But available without a defense level.

That was the appeal to them before. For a pure build that already uses prayer, these were a good defender substitute.

I think the ornament idea was decent, allowing people to customize old unused armor and gain some bonuses from the ornaments would allow more variation of equipment. Having Tiers of equipment like we do right now with no type of set effect limits what people wear.

 

While TT rewards shouldn't be mandatory to have good equipment, but being able to enhance or come relatively close to the best equipment shouldn't be out of the question. Level 4 clues can take plenty of time to complete and come from some of the hardest monsters in RS, the rewards shouldn't be overpowered, but they should be good.

I didn't mean that at all, i'm just saying that since trimming is handled differently, perhaps they should add an extra touch to them, since afterall, your either having to get hold of them yourself, or buy the kits AND the armour, which is either, rare to get it all, or costly. That gives them a reason to be handled differently compared to previous gold trimmed armour like rune and such.

Perhaps +10 strength is a bit too much, but if the Book of War had +8 Strength and +5 Prayer (no attack or defense stats), it would still be the most valuable book...

 

So I thought, what the hell :) Maybe it will lower some zammy prices

 

Prayer books not being the best in their class is also a bit of bull... Unholy Book (Zamorak) was for years the best to use for maging, and still is the best option for rangers...
