Higher level challenge: Elemental sword + armor

[TheAncient]

All you 100+ (me included) keep on complaining about not having a challenge.

 

 

 

Here's just an idea I've been toying with.

 

 

 

Elemental weaponry and armor.

 

Attack circle:

 

Water < Fire < Air < Earth < Water

 

(< = effective against)

 

 

 

Elemental sword, Statistics.

 

Your elemental sword will be enchanted (high cost, like 1M runes) with a certain element (one of the basic 4)

 

+100 to all combat stats when wielded

 

2-handed.

 

In 1 6-speed damage turn (i.e. the time it takes a whip to hit once, refer to KBase's weapon speed page), you hit once with mage, once with range, and once with melee.

 

You must be wielding full elemental armor in order to wield the elemental sword.

 

Your melee attack will not work if your opponent is wearing any elemental armor.

 

Your magic attack will not work if your opponent is wearing a staff (or an elemental armorpiece) that is effective against yours.

 

Your range attack will not work if your opponent is wearing any elemental armor.

 

 

 

The weapon's mage attack will use up runes.

 

The weapon's range attack will use up shards (which you can buy somewhere, but expensive, like 10k a piece)

 

 

 

Maximum hits:

 

Melee max hit will be 1/3 of your strength level.

 

Magic max hit will be 1/3 of your magic level.

 

(If attacking someone with a staff or ele armor that you're effective against, it's basically like verac's special - your magic attack will hit through their armor)

 

Range max hit will be 1/3 of your range level.

 

Making 1-hitting an armorless 126 possible.

 

 

 

Obtaining the Elemental sword.

 

1) Quest x (some REALLY hard quest, think 10 Jads at a time hard)

 

2) 95 smithing to smith the blade

 

3) 95 crafting to craft the bottom of the sword

 

4) 10 cut onyxes to craft the middle of the blade

 

5) 95 fletching to craft the shard shaft

 

6) 95 RC to make your blade enchantable

 

7) 95 Mage to enchant your blade

 

8) 95 construction (blade can only be assembled totally at some place in your house that requires 95 construction to make)

 

9) 95 theiving to steal an "elemental rune," one of the runes required to enchant

 

10) 95 agility required in the quest

 

11) 90 farming

 

12) 95 prayer to reach the altar to enchant the blade

 

13) 95 WC to cut an elemental tree, producing elemental wood, required for the base of the blade

 

 

 

(Or, 90. As long as it's decently hard)

 

 

 

... you get my point. Somewhere along the way, the player must also pay something like 150M to a guy to tell him how to make it, you have to sacrifice 100k pure ess and 1M reg ess, yeah. So total cost would end up being like 1B. This would be a SERIOUS money drain.

 

 

 

Elemental armor.

 

+250 to all stats, when full. (Arround same bonuses as barrows)

 

Helm = +60 to all

 

Body = +110 to all

 

Legs = +80 to all

 

Each piece will require a very difficult quest (easier than the sword, though)

 

Same requirements.

 

 

 

Elemental armor and weapon choice will be something in dueling (like something you can switch on or off). Otherwise dueling would be mad unfair.

 

 

 

Also, elemental enchants decay after 1,000 turns of doing damage or 1,000 hits done onto you. To re-enchant, you must go through a lot of the quest parts to get to an altar, sacrifice the same amount of runes, etc. So enchantment upkeep would be ridiculously expensive, like 100M each time. (To prevent people from just killing everything in sight)

 

 

 

In addition, it will decay like barrows, too - the actual armor and weapon physically deteriorate over time (20 hours, or something). There will be some master smith that repairs your piece for 10M. This may seem cheap at first, but then the smith charges you more and more (exponentially!), as repair pieces are getting rarer and rarer.

 

 

 

Also note that elemental shield will negate magic and range attacks of the blade. :shock:

nice.....but too complicated and expensive

 

 

 

will it be tradeable?

Most of the details are supposed to be mysteries. For example, the combat level formula. If I was writing an explanation, I would have included. But in-game, Jagex wouldn't.

 

 

 

No, it doesn't make sense to be tradable. It's like an UBER fire cape.

i don't really like it srry. I think its way to much of a hastle to get, and i'm guessing about 1% of rs actually has those stats if its even. I'm guessing u haven't done fight caves up to jad, cause u don't get how hard he actually is apparantly... -.-

 

 

 

I'll run down a few things for u.

 

 

 

474 people have 95 smithing

 

161 people have 95 crafting

 

8247 people have 95 fletching :shock: lol...actually not much shock.

 

4392 people have 95 mage

 

438 have 95 theiving

 

3506 have 95 Wc

 

587 have 95 Prayer

 

255 HAVE 90 FARMING

 

188 HAVE 99 RUNECRAFTING

 

101 HAVE 95 AGILITY

 

and the lowest of the low.... 42 PEOPLE HAVE 95 CONSTRUCTION!

 

 

 

as you can see, no one would be able to make it except zezima, uloveme, n0va and divine god and a few others....this would just be way to much effort and such to make that it wouldn't be made. I think its just an idea that sounds really cool, but in reality would not be very good.

So then 90 for all. The details really don't matter, it's the concept.
