koddo Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I don't think this idea would stop woodcutting autoers, maybe just hinder them a bit, but it would be nice if all types of axes would be worth less than willows or yews. This way when they die (which does happen quite a bit) they drop their axe. This would keep them from being able to use Rune axes for very long, or whatever. One other thing, generally if a non autoer dies with their axe they have more problems to worry about then their 20K axe, so I don't think that'd be a huge deal. Just an idea, autoers would probably find a way around it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I dont get it. Axes cost 10 gp for willows and 180 gp for yew? "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazyck Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I beleive what he is saying is to make the store value of axes less than that of the yew, that way when a macroer dies, he loses his axe, instead of keeping it because of its worth. However, i dont like the idea, it just would not make any sense for an axe made of a rare, expensive material to be worth less than the wood that the handle is made from. Runescape tries to make sense.. (most of the time anyways) :wink: 1543 Skill total, 100% F2P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koddo Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 You're right, it makes almost as much sense as a whip being a better weapon than a sharp sword that would normally be able to slice through someone. Good thing that's not in the game, that'd be crazy. (Excuse me for my sarcasm.) And yeah Nick, I meant what Krazy is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Votescu Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 That would be kinda messed up...a rune item worth less then a piece of wood? :shock: http://siggy.draynor.net/goal/woodcutting/99/drztep.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeb912 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 if rune is worth less than wood i would eat my new rune scimmy with a side of duck sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cky021 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 no i think wat hes saying is the general store value of rune wood be very little while the actual price would stay the same so when the died theyed keep having to pay 15-20k for a new axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a longer range than a sword, and can slice down to the bone on a single stroke. I wouldn't want to take on a whipmaster with a sword. That's the sort of thing I want a .454 Casul for 8-) or failing that a crystal bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give an arming sword to a complete buffoon, then yes, he'll have several types of hell created specifically for his immediate existence. Give it to someone who actually knows what footwork is, what balance is for, and how to use his weight in tandem with his weapon and you might as well not even have a match.

Genoraven Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just saying, it's an abysmal whip not a normal whip.

Then when innocent people die, they lose a rune axe Innocent people rarely die while WCing, and if they do, 20K really isn't very much... And hopefully we've had enough of this Whip-sword conversation, I'm sorry I brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
