The following items can now be synthesized:

• Scythe of vitur: 1,200 tokens
• Ghrazi rapier: 1,200 tokens
• Zaryte bow: 650 tokens
• Infernal death pet: 4,000 tokens

Oh yes! Divine, scythe, ghrazi, zbow sinks! = Blood diamond higher = eco better. Good one.

Meh, nothing to special here

At least it's a update tho 

[Jimm0 27]

Thanks for implementing one of my suggestions.

It would be great if you could fix obsidian weaponry so that the berserker necklace's damage buff applies to them, too. Stackable with obsidian, as per OSRS, too would be great, especially to give those in spawnables a more varied array of weapons to use.

Cheers

I want to say this is being held out because this would be insanely overpowered. It's pretty extreme to compare SPK to OSRS, especially when talking about items. Here we have custom autokept and buffed stat items/weapons compared to SPK. For example cursed obsidian would be superior to regular obsidian osrs has. It doesn't stop there, as there is much more customs to cover.

Examples:

• Items:
  • Berserker necklace -> enchanted gloves/boots -> torture(or) -> infernal cape 
• Pets:
  • Blood berserker(or any str boosting pet) that boosts damage by 10%
  • Easterwyrm that increases melee accuracy by ridiculous amounts
• Perks
  • Vampiric perks(Vampiric damage) that boosts damage by 5%

I think with full on max str and SPAWNABLE weapons would make this very OP. I'd support this if obby weapons were not spawnable and had some eco, but this is essentially paving the way for insane hard hitting weapons with autokept gear. Sure this is diversity but there's no denying this would be the freest adjustment to edgepking for any wealthy player. You say "spawnables" but in reality regular obsidian isn't spawnable, and it isn't cheap for "new players".

Lot's of contradictory statements here and I see a "give me something OP I can benefit form because i'm rich" suggestion hiding behind a "make spawnables more viable"

 

[metal justin 36]

not a bad update overall. Did you look into the olm pet? As i see nothing mentioned about it. Does it work as intended?

With the new dragonfire update inside raids i believe everyone can use curses now as long as they bring an antifire and mage prot, have a fused slay or anything else that prots fire? Just hope @Ryan is aware of how awfully easy raids are with curses (i did a master raid solo with 0 food in my inv and 0 looted from drops you can see the video on discord).

nice addition to the event, fun to see some expansions there.

Hope to see more raid improvements soon!

Sorry, but you're talking rubbish. What this would enable is more variety for ALL pkers - pures, spawnables (they aren't limited to just whip-dds pking), rich people.

Bear in mind that for 100m or so a new player can have an AGS - an accurate spec weapon that enables them to hit up to 80. A obsidian sword isn't going to do anything so damaging, especially with such a low accuracy bonus (made lower by the berserker necklace).

If you're suggesting this shouldn't be included because it'd help rich players as well as poorer players, that's a pretty weak argument. If anything, that would make a welcome addition from newer players, who don't benefit from (for example) mythic donator rank benefits in updates that we see relatively regularly.

I agree with most of what you said man but I think you have to take this into consideration;

Full obsidian set effect = 10% more accuracy and damage

Berserker necklace effect = 20% more damage

Blood Berserker pet = 10% more damage

Blood perk that grants you 5% damage (vampiric damage or w/e)

Pretty sure you’ll be able to hit 75’s in that

But after all, if Ryan decides it’s not too op, he might change it so yeah

75s with what? As far as I'm aware these effects already work with the obby maul - the max isn't that high

The only change I'm asking for is the same effects to work with the lesser powered obsidian weapons - i.e. the knife, sword etc.

Depends what the max hit with the obby maul is without all the effects (probably high because of the high str bonus you can obtain on here + the 45% damage afterwards.  

Even if ryan adds those things, the obby set with obsidian items are rarely used as far as I know.

I've seen 60s with obby maul already, in tevin's videos. Cant remember if it was a 63 or a 68, but definitely in the 60's. Not sure how old that video is, but i'm sure with what we have now it'll only make that number even higher. Again and i'll stress it a hundred times over, the problem with this is that the obsidian weapons will ARE SPAWNABLE. I wouldn't say anything if they weren't, but yes, if this does get added it will heavily favor rich players making it even further p2w. Obby sword max is what, 52 on osrs? With a pet another 10% + vamp damage 5% + custom infernal +custom ferocious gloves = 62/63(depending on if ferocious gloves give a +1) every 4 ticks(same as whip) so this is essentially a longsword with whip speed.

Need I say more?

Precisely but I don't think he gets it. I don't have the raw numbers on obby maul like obby sword, and im sure obby staff/mace(might even be better than a rapier), obby rings are not worth mentioning but obby maul/sword are going to be dangerous.

Are you not listening? Obby maul ALREADY is affected by berserker necklace and cursed obsidian armour. I'm only asking for the OTHER obsidian weapons to be given the same treatment AS IS IN THE ORIGINAL GAME. I know that they are spawnable - obviously - otherwise I wouldn't be suggesting these in part for those who use SPAWNABLES.

Furthermore the abysmal attack bonuses of the berserker necklaces would make the sword too inaccurate to be anything scary in this game.

Unfortunately Kellatha, just because you think you're right, and you're a moderator somewhere, doesn't instantly make you right.

With you last point - obsidian rings AREN'T affected by berserker necklace or obsidian armour and therefore I am NOT asking for these to be implemented. 

Perhaps you should have a good read through here to get your facts straight:

My point is that the berserker necklace and obsidian armour damage buffs already apply to the obsidian maul on SPK. I am only asking for this effect to work with the other obsidian weapons too.

As you put, even though the maul already has these buffs it isn't used much in PVP! Therefore, isn't it fair to say that it ISN'T OP at this point?!

I'm pretty neutral on the whole damage addition thing, but I must say Jimm0's statement below is actually correct:

There should literally be 0 objection to this, Obsidian Maul already has the buffs from the obsidian armor and berserker necklace, and it's pretty strong but the accuracy is still bad. There's no reason why we shouldn't add it to the other obsidian weapons, in fact, that's how its supposed to be according to the custom item's descriptions. It wouldn't be too overpowered at all, even if it is spawnable. The accuracy on ALL obsidian weapons are hot trash @ Level 126, and you rarely ever hit with it anyways so the damage buff wouldn't really be an issue.

 

Furthermore, Why are we having such a large-scale debate on an update thread? Someone make a discussions post please.

Someone mentioned that regular obsidian worked and cursed obsidian did not, and i guess since cursed obsidian is a custom. I tried it out a long time ago and that did seem to be the case IIRC. Accuracy might be ban for mains as obsidian isn't meant to be used in main levels and rather on pures/zerkers due to their insane damage. If it's mad accurate on osrs, I can only imagine it's just as broken if not more here. I may not play osrs but I do watch a lot of videos from a lot of different youtubers to know what i'm talking about.

I actually went and tested them out and mythic obsidian is under performing than what it should be. Regular and cursed obby seems fine and only works on obby maul, not anything else. I merely mentioned the others to state that none of them were going to be as relevant as the maul and sword, possibly dagger. Only cobby maul works atm compared to the others that should also work with them(rest of the obby melee weapons). Obby maul maxes a 68 on a dummy do i should add another 2 via blood berserker pet(instead of archaic) and 3/4 with vamp damage. 70+5% of 70= 73.5% so obby maul would be hitting 74 as a spawnable weapon. 

You say it has an accuracy debuff but that honestly goes away depending on what pet you use, and especially are custom items like our custom avernic(sword) and infernal cape with mad bonuses everywhere.  Seen maul shred through both pures and voiders, so it'll definitely be interesting to see how it comes into the server.
