boomerangs?

[Zaaps1]

I dont think this was suggested before, and the search didnt turn up anything so heres my suggestion. Boomerangs. Heres my idea: the boomerang catagories are:

 

wooden

 

bronze

 

iron

 

steel

 

mithril

 

addy

 

rune

 

x

 

magical

 

 

 

Each boomerang is the equivalent of its arrow metal ( bronze boom= bronze arrow). I think boomerangs should be like arrows. They will be partly f2p, but only up to addy, just like arrows.

 

 

 

To make a boomerange cut a log into a wooden boomerang. Then smith metal bars into boomerange headings, which you attach to the wooden boomerang.

 

 

 

When you attack with a boomerang, its comeback time is 1 second per 5 squares, with a starting time of 1 second. A boomerang can break. The better the boomerang, less chance of breaking. Breaking chances are the same as arrows of the same metal. wooden boomerang is 30% (or more if 30% is bronze's break perchentage) For break rates of x and magical boomerangs read on.

 

 

 

When you throw a boomerang there is a chance it wont comeback to you. Magical boomerangs always come back. The higher your range, the better the comeback rate is. If it doesnt comeback, it will appear on the ground some where between you and the monster/player your attacking.

 

 

 

levels:

 

wooden:11

 

Bronze:11

 

Iron:11

 

Steel:15

 

Mithril:20

 

Adamite: 30

 

Rune: 50

 

X: 55

 

Magical: 85

 

 

 

wooden, X, and magical boomerangs are speacial boomerangs. Wooden boomeranges erve no real purpose, mainly to attach boomerang headings to, but they can be throw and are equivalent to 30% lower than bronze, break rate above. If you have 50 magic, you can fuse 2 addy or higher boomerangs to make an X boomerang. Its a bit better than rune (10% maybe?), is faster ( 8 square/second), and break rate is about 20% lower than rune. a rune boomerange can become a magical boomerang, but only if you completed the quest "me and my boomerang"(horrible name i know). The magical boomerang is 10% better than X, never breaks, always comes back, and even better you can "contain" a spell within the boomerang, but it must be a non-combat spell, and it still costs runes. Basicly you contain bind in the boomerang ( example) throw it, it hits, other guy is binded ( snares whatever im f2p), so you can continue hitting the guy. It still costs rune, and double the runes if the spell is above 30 magic. Triple if above 60. Costs 3 cosmic runes and 30 of any other rune type to contain 1 spell. Magical boomerangs can "save" the spell contained in it. Rememberiing it until it runs out of charges in which it becomes a rune boomerang. It has 2500 charges ( same as crystal bow) like the crystal bow it gets weaker as time goes on. You must pay 400k firm to get the charges back. Talk to Lirk ( see below)

 

 

 

Me and my Boomerang quest.

 

Talk to lowe in varrock archery shop. He says he wishes to sell a unique boomerang. He says if you give him information about it from his study heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll pay you. Go to his study ( that room east of the main room) and search the bookself that will be added. There will be a book containing ancient archery secrets. Read it. It has many pages filled with stuff including tips like, better arrows hit harder etc. Nothing you shouldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t already know. On page 10 it reads ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åa strange boomerang has been found, it appears to be glowing, buried it in a graveyard in the wilderness after seeing its destructive potential. Talk to lower, heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll give you 3k and send you off to retrieve the boomerang as he himself doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t wish to get it ( smart guy ) . In the graveyard if shadows keep digging until you find a mysterious passage way. Apparently the boomerang came back to the person the dug it into the graveyard. You can follow the tunnel its non-wilderness. It does have level 60 giant worms ( if there arenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t already giant worms). After a long walk you find the boomerang, take it as its just lying there. After you get it throw it, it will cast earth blast ( only combat spell it will ever cast) and make a hole up. You will be in Edgeville near Oziachs hut. When you emerge Oziach immedatly walks up to you he asks you why you have his familyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s old boomerang, you tell him the story.

 

 

 

Oziach demands you return it. You say no. He keeps demanding, if you ever give in you have to start from the beginning again. After 7 times he says heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll teach you how to make magical boomerangs if you give it back. If you decline you have to go through another 7 offers before you get another chance. If you accept he says his brother Lirk knows how. Talk to Lirk in Dranor Sewers ( you didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get to this point and talk to lirk he simply tells you about boomerangs, he sells you a boomerangs also) He says he has to charge it with magic, but you have to pay him 400k. As he is about to enchant it he remembers the destruction it caused in the pas and restricts the spells it casts to non-combat ones.

 

 

 

After this you can show your magical boomerang to lowe, he takes it and gives you 6k. All you have to do is leave his shop for a while and heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll run up to you saying no one wants to buy it. Then he pays you another 3k officially ending the quest.

 

 

 

 

 

ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s all. Please post for suggestions or comments. Please donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t flame. Ill try to make pics soon, so donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t ask.

good idea,

 

as your range gets higher you might be able to throw two at a time?

 

maybe that could be the special?

[ruilex]

lol it would be really funny if it was like this:

 

u have a set of bomerangs in each had

 

bomerang special: throws 2 bomerangs in the time of 1(like dds) and bounce of ppl like throwing axe

 

 

 

lol it would majorly own anywere

yeh,i pretty much said that

[Trazma]

Boomerangs are meant to be lightweight..metal is not lightweight...

 

 

 

 

 

also, it has been suggested before.

[specialcharacter]

aluminium and titanium boomerangs, they are lightweight?

[Zaaps1]

i guess the woods would work too, but think about it, all boomerangs have a little metal in it, otherwise its pointless, it wouldnt do anything.

cept we dont' have ti and al....Good idea except for x boomerang and magical boomerang. Lets keep it just up to rune, like arrows. I personally like this a lot...gives rangers a new option.

[Zaaps1]

bump

[hungryblader]

I think what he meant was that the boomerang would be made of wood, with small meta edges, they would be sharpened.

[dsavi]

Thats not such a bad idea, they would be stackable and reusable, say, for 10 or 20 times. Unlimited times would produce lvl 50s with 99 range.

Thanks for correcting my thinking, i was thinking (sorry for repeated word)that since it would take much longer to fire, the reuseable policy would even it out. I guess this is better, or make the break rate more often.

 

Anyone have predictions on price ranges?

[justj2]

arnt there trowing knives and axes already? and rune thrown axe with spec acts just like a boomerang, correct me if im wrong

[jwrm22]

all trowing wapons are p2p... and this even more useless then trowing stars like ninjas... keep ranging simple plz...

[blitzkerig0]

Except that if this ever occured it would not make sense. Let us say that I throw a boomerang at you and it hits. How the heck will it return to me if it bounces off of my body? Overall a good post but not very well thought through.

hmmm....maybe if it misses then it comes back, otherwise you need to use another, but that'll defeat the whole purpose.

 

Well if a boomerang hits it scrapes you, so it would still come back if it scrapes you.
