Eonrogue Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have been thinking, (not a good sign), and I realized that there are three Runescape trees that aren't used for very many things. Teak, Mahogany, and Arctic Pine. Now I did some internet research and found a type of bow called the "recurve". A recurve is essentially a longbow with the tips of the limbs curving away from the archer, allowing a greater amount of accuracy then longbows, shortbows, or composite bows. This bow was used during the Middle Ages which is the time period set for Runescape. My proposal is to use these three trees to make recurve bows. If anyone has realized it, the bow choices for higher levels isn't very big, and I think that with the addition of recurves, rangers can have more options and become more flexible. So, I'm thinking: Teak Recurve- 50 Range Mahogany Recurve- 60 Range Arctic Recurve- 70 Range Tell me what you think!!!!!

inferno_char Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Nice little bit of research there. I'm not sure about the materials though, because Teak and Mahogany are hard woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jard_Y_Dooku Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Seercull is a recurve bow. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eonrogue Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 if you remember, we bent mahogany, i think, to make bongos for the cold war quest. Tip.it's official Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ember3579 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 i think this is a fairly solid idea.the bows may give a LITTLE bit of defence bonus (due to extra hardness(get yer head outta the gutter! :P )), as well as increasing (as if they got 3, 4, & 5 more levels in range than they do, respectively) the max damage of the arrow they have.and though they may be harder to bend than other bows, that dont make it impossible.the only 2 problems are what are the stats of the bows, and will it throw the triangle even more out of whack than it is now?(imo mages are signifigantly weaker than the other classes, eslecially on f2p (im a meleer btw, so updates for them can turn bad on me in wild, i just want a challenge).

Lighs Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Recurve bows are an in interesting idea, but what aspects of Teak, Mahogany, and Arctic Pine make them more suitable for that kind of bow than for any other kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komodoman360 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 along with this, wouldn't there have to be some level of risk, like the bow snapping/breaking, and hurting you, then you have to pay to get it repaired, or you could repair it yourself, if you were a high enough fletching level?

Greedom1 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Nice idea, but be honest with me - have you been watching the History Channel tonight? They had an episode or two about the middle/dark ages - one of which prominently featured the recurve bow. Not to take away from your suggestion if you were - I was just wondering. RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer Values? What do they mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkn0wnwarrior Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 This seems to be a pretty good idea... F2P or P2P only (most likely P2P alone), this would be a good addition. I'll give my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
