[HunterDexter]

And then a sudden bug unfolds itself and all our costume rooms are void of stuff we put into it.

Regarding Tuska Event start date from Mod Kelpie:

 

 

Hello

 

Many of you have been asking if the next World Event with Tuska will begin in May. It will not begin this month and will instead begin on the 1st of June.

 

I know we have previously discussed it beginning in May, but after some players raising that this clashed with their exams and us looking at historic player statistics, we decided to move it back a few weeks. As World Events only run for a limited time, we wanted to make sure that as many people as possible get the chance to play.

 

Having said this, I would still keep an eye on the sky until then ;)

 

Thank you

[Blutters]

Fair enough, although my exams are next week. ALSO, how about the whole roadtrip/special weekends during this month of finals? I dunno sounds inconsistent lol but w/e

[Arceus]

World event starting 1st June is fine with me, not going to complain. Good move to put it when more people can enjoy it, especially with it being time-limited content as they have pointed out. I wonder what they issue is with grayed-out placeholders is. I guess putting 0 of an item and programming that to stick causes an issue?

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

I'm just gonna say I'm more excited now than ever.

 

Only one month until rune dragons will finally be a thing.

[HunterDexter]

Welll, guess what, mine and those of all Belgians start early June. -.- There goes my chance to play it.

[Miss_Kozlov]

Dang Belgians trying to mess stuff up.

[HunterDexter]

 

I'm quite dissapointed though, as it was the only real piece of content this month. :/

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

I know it's unlikely since dragon platebody is supposed to be an item you can only get one way in the game, but I think it'd be cool if rune dragons dropped it.

 

Keep in mind that dragon longswords were at one point only available in that one store. But now monsters drop it, rarely, but still do. So you can't say it won't happen.

[HunterDexter]

Too bad they're almost worthless. :p

 

I hope for some Kethsian/Dragonkin themed armour drops.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Too bad they're almost worthless. :P

 

Of course they are, it's pretty obvious, I never said they're valuable. But dragon platebody is still worth quite a lot as a drop from non-boss monsters since very few non-boss monsters drop items that high alch for over million.

 

I'm not saying worth over million because even dragon platelegs and abyssal whip were worth over million at one point, and it's not worth ignoring.

 

And before anyone points out, yes, I'm fully aware that a drop worth over million could damage the economy. I'm not making a suggestion, I'm just saying what I personally would like to see.

Until you use Dragonkin smithing techniques to upgrade them to T90 armour. :p

 

And I'm less then impressed with your structural balls.

I'm not at all talking about how useful the item is. Don't worry, I have no intention of defending dragon equipment anymore, that's all in the past.

 

When you get a drop worth over million it's usually from a boss monster. How many non-boss monsters can you actually think of that drop something that high alchs for over million? I can't think of any personally, I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying there is none I can think of.

[Miss_Kozlov]

Bossing is the wave of the future at Jagex. IMO they're neglecting the game to put over bossing.

[Arceus]

It depends on what technically you call a boss, but yes, not many such drops exist. The only thing I could think of would be a visage, perhaps, or Tormented Demons drops, if you choose not to count them as a boss.

[Blutters]

I'm not especially defending them, but you have to consider that most every skill ties back to combat in some way (so numerous I don't even want to begin listing here). This goes for most minigames and quests too.

Combat tends to extend long past 99s unlike many skills that you likely won't expressly focus on after 99. Almost all content begins to feel like a means to a combat end.

Bossing is essentially the pinnacle of combat, where all of these different things you've earned come together and are truly tested, so if you think about what I've said above, it makes some sense that bossing should receive a grand focus.

Draconic Visage, dropped by all metalic dragons! :D

 

For Miss, maybe this is more impressive, our national pride:

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Draconic Visage, dropped by all metalic dragons! :D

But I'm referring to items that high alch for that much, but ones that are worth that much. But I totally 100% understand why items like that are not dropped by regular non-boss monsters, and for the record I don't want them to do it either since it'd make money making far too easy.

 

Come to think of it, maybe rune dragons shouldn't drop dragon platebodies, but should instead have an unique drop, that should work even better.

[Miss_Kozlov]

Sorry, but maybe we're not all into the stuff you are into you sick, sick man. :p

Maybe I just don't get the joke, but that seems like a piss poor attempt at humor, man :/.

 

Anyway, high alch prices are generally set for a very low price, just for completeness. I'm sure they never thought they would see the day dragon items hit alch values!

[Miss_Kozlov]

I also thought they used those values for drop priority when you died.

How odd it might sound, he's one of our most important things in the country. XD Next to that and fries, chocolate, beer and waffels.

 

Ontopic: I fear Jagex will still try to shoehorn in one of the remaining dragon items, but I hope they'll be given other special drops too. We all show how popular those Chaos Giants were...

Yeah, they will. But they better not make dragon swords require so hard quest, that'd be wrong as no one cares about shortswords.

 

Maybe rune dragons won't be as easy to kill as I think. I have a feeling I won't be able to kill more than five in one trip. But it'd be great if I could though since nothing beats getting rune bars every time I kill a monster. Nothing.

[HunterDexter]

Everyone I hear speaking about Rune Dragons talks about them dropping 5 rune bars (well, most do), but as we've seen with Mithrils, those only drop 3 bars. I wouldn't be surprised if we only got one bar a dragon actually.
