Hello Alorians, I would love as much feedback as possible on this. I'm not necessarily suggesting this but more wanting to see what other players think. Depending on the feedback, I believe it could be implemented as a official suggestion.
The Alora Way: Currently a player can purchase a rune defender on the first floor of the warriors guild.
An NPC in the animation room sell's one for 400 tokens. That player would then have to go upstairs for a chance at a Dragon.
The Issue: No where does it display information letting players know that rune defenders are available on the first floor.
7 times out of 10, a player is just gathering tokens and then going upstairs trying to get a Bronze, Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, Rune, and then dragon defender and wondering why in the world they're not receiving drops. Once they find out that you could purchase a rune defender, they're completely out of hope.
The 07 Way: Basically making it to where the NPC on the first floor does not sell defenders. A player would have to stack their tokens and then proceed upstairs to obtain in order bronze-dragon defender. (This would take longer, I understand. However, this is the correct way)
Solutions: Now we could add a text that displays when a player teleports to the Warriors Guild something like 'You can purchase rune defenders first on the bottom floor'
Or adding the 07 Way.
