Themooingcow666 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So here's my suggestion with the new toolbelt, what if, every log made different arrows? Like oak logs make oak arrows, yew logs make yew arrows, and so on, so that when your WC, you can train fletching at the same time?And these arrows all were slightly better than the last, and have better stats. And only certain type of arrows can fit with certain type of arrowhead.For instance:Regular Arrows - bronze, iron arrowhead and 0+ range attOak Arrows - iron below and 1+ range attWillow Arrows - steel below and 2+ range attMaple Arrows - mithril below and 3+ range attYew Arrows - addy below and 5+ range attMagic Arrows - rune below and 7+ range att plus 5 magic defense.Also each level of arrow makes it more durable so you'll be able to recover more arrows at higher arrow levels.What do you think?Suggestions let me know :) Supporters-------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexiledRazz Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The concept for using different woods for arrow shafts could give range a much-needed boost in power(Terribly under-powered compared to melee and mage atm). However, the idea of the bonuses you get from the different woods isn't very good. The bonuses are too little to make up for the outrageous prices that the arrows would sell for. We could have all the current arrows made with the basic wooden shafts, but arrows with shafts made from better and better woods could have much higher range strength/give additional accuracy bonuses. Or possibly have the ability to be enchanted with additional effects like bolts have. However the effects would have to go through rigorous balancing processes. You don't want rune arrows that have +100 range strength coming at you at the speed of a shortbow. THAT would be overpowered. Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

Themooingcow666 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thank you hexiled, i was just thinking it was a good idea since range seems to be underpowered compared to melee and magic, and just wanted to help, of course the boosts could be raised too it was just a suggestionAnd yes dragon arrows.For those o.O new type of tree level 95 to fletch into certain arrows and than dragontips (when dragon ore comes out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal, bronzeoak, bluritewillow, ironTeak, steelMaple, mithrilMahogany, AdamantiteYew, Rune And not in-game but hinted at coming some day by some npcs in range guild:magic, dragon.

Hedgehog Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The price of arrows would be equal to the price of the log + the price of the arrow tips + the price of feathers + the value of xp + the value of time. In order to balance out the drastic increase in the price of the log, Jagex would have to increase the xp gained per arrow, which would be overpowered.

Themooingcow666 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 They could make it work though, but what i was thinking after all this would be to have all arrows use all different arrowtips like it does now, than the higher woods have higher stats.

Sir_Squab Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hmm... there is some merit in this idea for increasing the power of regular arrows. Just at the basic level of using better wood for better arrows, considering how woefully underpowered short/longbows tend to be. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

ikyros Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Totally unnecessary and would add nothing in terms of gameplay. I agree , the arrows are fine the way they are , what would ivy make?

Huzzah Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 what would ivy make? Ivy doesn't give any logs or items. It gives pure exp, It would make nothing. This idea has some mertit. Would nice to see range improved a bit somehow anyways. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
