I have so many ideas of how to improve Runescape, and I can't believe this one idea has never crossed my mind. It just dawned on me while I was Chompy Hunting. (3043 kills by the way)

 

 

 

In Runescapes Brimhaven dungeon, there are Metal Dragons. These Dragons go from;

 

Bronze(Lvl 131) -> Iron(Lvl 189) -> Steel(Lvl 246)

 

These Dragons also drop Scales as a 100% drop of whatever type of Dragon they are, which are almost as useless as Tiles.

 

 

 

Why not let these have a use? Range is lacking in a good update, at least a good armor update anyhow. (No offense, but the Crossbows weren't really a good update. The Bolts hit higher than Arrows, but they're slow and the bolt effects don't hit often.)

 

 

 

My idea is, that by using the Crafting skill, we should be able to Craft the Scales into the armor itself.

 

 

 

High levels, or experienced players are the ones who know how to go about killing the Metal Dragons. The only items which could have these Scales Crafted into them, are the Chaps and Body.

7. Final Notes

 

============================

 

 

 

~ You know where the light spots are when wearing Dragonhide Armor is? That's where my idea of adding the Metals to it would go.

 

 

 

~ If you plan to flame me about how dumb I am for making a reasonable suggestion, think about this. Leather Armor is able to have Metal added to it (Studs, for Studded Armor) so how is this unfair, or a stupid idea?

 

 

 

~ Support is welcomed, but I'm not going to make a list. You don't have to support, but if you don't, explain why. Also don't be too rude, and if anything is unapropriate, I WILL report you.

 

 

 

~ Just like the stores and Range Guild in Runescape have Green D'Hide items, they would also have Metal Green D'Hide items. They would however, cost more. The Metal Dragonhide would also Alch for more than normal.

wow...this is REALLY well thought out...you got stats and lvls and all u need is exp..no big deal. This would be a great new thing for crafting and ranging!! just one question...would it be like trimmed or just all covered...Trimmed would make more sense cause then u couldn't tell what color the body was lol.

Trimmed would make more sense cause then u couldn't tell what color the body was lol.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

Heyy that's a good idea! And mages couldn't get mad at it because it would be made that normal d hide had a higher mage def bonus then the metal. In fact, mages will like it because they will hit more on it. And the meleers will be happy because the cheapies who don't want to spend money on armor could use it. An update that keeps the entire triangle happy!

thats actually a pretty cool idea. you've got my support. I like the idea of combining it with the traditional range armour.
