+1 for sure. This really represents what the raiding community is looking for. Glad you are taking care of it for us. Here an additione of mine:

Kalfka is more than suited to become part of the Staff team. This guy is genuinely just trying to make everyones gaming experience on SPK better everyday. Connecting all kinds of people despite their different point of views. The Raids discord he is leading is nothing but wholesome and a place for new players to get the help they need. He is also one of the most chill person out there in the community. BUT dont mistake his friendly nature with a Yes man personality, he is always ready to have constructive and meaningful discussions without toxicity, which is one of the traits I respect the most from him. Mans got brains lol. Last but not least: Might be a biased reason from my part but I wouldn't mind more PvM representation in the staff team either. While Kalfka isnt purely just a pvmer, PvMing is still a big part of his SPK Life. I trust him enough to help the staff team in making decissions that benefit both parts of the game rather than just sticking to the good old "its a pk server" argument many players make. +1 from me on this one for sure. He's built different.

1. Yeah it definitely would need to be revised before implementation. Tho I believe if it would work similar to how Sang (e)s healing effect works it could be well balanced as is. We need to keep in mind that it wouldn't be smiting your oponents prayer each hit, just like how Sang (e) doesnt heal you every single attack. 1/6 chance to smite your oponents prayer points seems reasonable... atleast in theory, but I guess in practice things could look whole more different. 2. Yeah you are right, "beginner friendly" is the wrong wording for this situation. Tho, it must be considered that a player that just started, just by hearing that a "BIS" item is gonna cost him 10 Trill could discourange them to the point where they would stop playing. Knowing there is a pretty similar but less expensive piece of weapon could help towards motivation to keep grinding. Reasonable progression steps are very important to keep players hooked. I honestly like the idae of combining it with another ring similar to EBR. Getting that Ring would create even more new content and goals to go for. nice addition. 3. Agreed 4. Agreed aswell, just gotta be careful that it doesnt become a malev axe with rapier attack speed lmao. Thats why I suggested tweaking its stats in a way thats reasonable lol. Thanks alot for the feedback Kel.

With the new Hardmode TOB update that came out on OSRS and with it the new designs for some of the Raids weapons I though this would make the perfect opportunity to make use of those new models while giving TOB raids something fresh to go for. The Models/Items in question Holy Sanguinesti staff This Staff would be created by using a holy ornament kit on a regular Sanguinesti staff much like how Sang staff (e) is created (100b + sang staff + enchantment orb). My idea for this staff is to make it similar to the Sang staff (e) in terms of stats. Unlike the Sang Staff (e) this staff wouldn't have an autocast attack meaning you would have to use reg spells or ancients spells with it (we got to many autocasts atm!) Instead of a healing effect it would have the chance to smite your opponents prayer points while giving part of the smited prayer points back to yours, thus making this a solid PvP alternative to all the autocast staffs out there. Holy Scythe of Vitur + Sanguine Scythe of vitur Th Holy Scythe of Vitur would be created by using a Holy ornament kit on a regular Scythe of Vitur. Much like the Blood Ghrazi rapier/Sang (e) are made, it would also require additional 100b for the creation. My main concern atm is having Blood reaper Scythe being a BIS weapon while also being discontinued and very very expensive at that (~10Trill). Thats way to begginer unfriendly imo . Yes, we also have items like the lunar sara sword and for special occasions the dragon hunter lance (i) which are also decent alternatives but outside of those special occassions none of them come close to BRS. So my suggestion would be making the Holy Scythe of Vitur a filler between Scythe/Lunar SS/DHL (I) and BRS. Statwise it would be slightly better than Reg Scythe but Slightly worse than BRS. Another thought would be giving it the double hit chance of the Lunar SS and tweaking its stats in a way that would make it an improved version of the current lunar SS. It would need lots of testing to achieve a good balance were BRS could keep its BIS spot but it would make progression less beginner unfriendly imo. the current jump from 500b to 10trill is just not okay. The Sanguine Scythe of vitur would be created by using a Sanguine ornament kit on a regular Scythe of Vitur. Now this version of the scythe should become a PvP - Mode kinda Scythe. I myself tried to use reg scythe and BRS for pking and while it was really fun to use it didnt really compare to other weapons out there, which is a shame because its a really nice weapon to make neat combos with. I dont really have much of an idea on how it could be made into a PvP usable item tbh (shame on me) but I am sure our PvP-holic staff members and players can come up with something fun Holy Ghrazi Rapier The Holy Ghrazi Rapier would be created by using a Holy ornament kit on a regular Ghrazi rapier. Yeah, kinda boring, but its kind self explenatory that this item could be just the same as the Blood Ghrazi rapier but with a smiting effect instead of a healing effect. Tho I would suggest giving it lower stats than the blood rapier, otherwise this weapon could be too op. (e.g -> Similar stats to blade of saeldor instead). How to obtain the upgrade kits Obviously this kits should be obtain as a rare drop from completing TOB raids. This could become a longterm project by ryan working on a new Hardmode TOB mode with higher requirements to participate in. A more lazy way to introduce this items would be to add a new super rare drop, only obtainable from either Masters or maybe even just Grandmasters ToB. It would be a single item. A TOB Mystery box that could be opened for a 1 in 10 chance for either of the Upgrade kits. If unlucky you would receive other rewards like 2-4 raids scrolls. Maybe raids codexes (From RuneX)? etc. basically useful/expensive compensation rewards. I suggest to make it this way to keep this kits rare-ish and with that the prices decently high. As for the Sanguine ornament kit that would create the PvP Scythe variant, it could also be added to the cursed bounty store or introduced in any other way that would involved Pking. - Maybe as a rare chance reward from getting kills with a killstreak of above 50. I think this could boost ToB raids activity a bit more, giving regular tob weapons a new use while giving an incentive to players to go for higher TOB kc. It would also introduce the PvP Community to new items to widen their Pking arsenal with which imo could be fun to use. Greatful for every bit of imput you guys wanna give.

if you ask me a unique title for completing a log is more than enough and it would def make me try to complete some of them. e.g: completing nightmare log would unlock the title -> "of ashihama" -> Despair of ashihama.

Could also require you to be skulled to activate in the first place maybe.

Beginner Zone Revamp Introduction Not too long ago we've seen a new update which sounded promising at first but sadly wasn't executed well (imo). So where did the update went wrong and why iss it almost dead content already? One of the issues is that its way to restricted as it is right now. The list of items you can use is very short and doesn't allow for much variety to play around with. The seond issue and probably the main issue here is that its not really worth doing. The rewards you can get from PKing players and from the store itself can't even be classified as "begginer" rewards. You probably dont need to expect big loots from players thanks to the aforementioned heavily restricted items list and rewards you can buy from the store convert in avarage to just 200m-300m per point. Sure this is supposed to be a zone for fresh players, but even for those there are way better ways to make Starter money than spending time at the new beginner zone. Suggestion So to increase activity in the beginner zone I'd suggest to work on those two main issues. The list of restricted items as well as the Reward store need to be relooked at. Items List The list of useable items should be expended by: Some may think that expending the list by those items would defeat the idea behind the zone. I had those thoughts aswell and tried to only chose items that aren't auto keep, not too costumy but still worth some gp aswell as still fun to use. e.g Max Melee with this list would look as follows: Imo this is a very well balanced set that even someone with spawnies and ags can deal with. And he would get rewarded decently for it too. This would also give the beginner zone a more pre-eoc (RS2) kinda vibe which not only beginners that need money will enjoy. I can see myself pking there just for fun and to get away from the lots of items that can kill you in a blink of an eye or the tons of 0s against Tektonic Pkers and such. With the increased activity beginners would have actual oponents to enjoy this place and build their a starter bank for themselves. Store expansion Add the following to the store: As for the store list I feel like I am mising couple of ideas, so feel free to comment with your own suggestions. PS: whether or not you like the idea I think we can all agree that the daily reward should be improved...at the current stage its easier and faster to complete your daily lava/frost dragon and Elder druids task and you are being rewarded way more than for completing your daily beginner zone kills. Please let me know what you guys think about the beginner zone and if you agree or disagree with what I said.

Visually the Warmaster Jad gives me Tekton vibes especially looking at the Tektonic set. Possible effect: While waering full Tektonic you gain a 15% accuracy boost on Crush weapons and 10% overall str boost.

Yo moma so fat she has nuff chins for 200m xp ranged. On a real note tho, you want chins + a new boss or a chins boss? *think*

Its about how clean and organized ur bank is not about how rich you are

Now that d defender(t) has a repair fee on its ass could i get buffed so its worth wasting money on it?

Is there any drawback o the cursed void? Rushing seems cheap and easy if not ;-;

Funny how many dont mention education when it comes to "improving". Shows how looks is whats most important.

Isnt it better to use viper then? Aint like 1 more max hit seals the deal over more accuracy

I think viper is better for melee, viper only has -1 str which makes no difference in max hits (didnt test this so could be wrong) but it has waaay better offensive stats. Great guide anyways gj.
