Hello,

 

Lately, I've been hearing some about the new equipment that you can see on the seasonal deadman mode.

I thought it would be a great idea to poll this for the community to get an idea if you guys would like this added.

 

In this post, I will describe the different items that would be obtainable with these new sets of items.

I will also try and clarify some of the upsides and downsides of having them.

 

There are 4 sets of items that are included in the Ancient Warrior's equipment. 

 

These are;

• Statius's equipment
  
   
• Vesta's equipment
  
   
• Zuriel's equipment
  
   
• Morrigan's equipment
  
   

The different sets were initially introduced to Runescape 2 but have recently resurfaced on the Deadman mode scene on OSRS.

They offer unique bonuses mainly focused for the PvP scene. The items would have a 78 defense requirement and respective stats for each type of armor.

(For example, Zuriel would require 78 defense & 78 magic.)

 

These items are very strong;

 

In the clip above, the person getting killed did only have rune armor, but it still proves how much damage it can do.

 

I think the biggest upside that the armors would introduce is the fact that it would give new life to the PvP scene.

These items have been sought after since the initial poll on OSRS a while back.

 

Pros:

• Great stat bonuses
• New stylish equipment
• PvP oriented equipment
• A way to bring more people out into the wilderness 

 

I think the biggest downside to having them, is the fact that they will re-vamp how people PvP and how people act in the wilderness.

They will also stray away from the original OSRS feel that some people enjoy.

 

Cons:

• Great stat bonuses
• Unorthodox for the game
• Might add to current issues in the wilderness (bugs/mechanics/etc)
• Not implemented in OSRS (outside of DMM)

There might obviously be more pros/cons that I'm not currently thinking of.

 

If you have anything you would like to add or say, you can always make a post describing your pros/cons with adding these items.

I hope you will take the time of your day to vote on this.

I would like to see them introduced to Alora. They would benefit PvP activity in Alora more than it would for PvM content (except to make money from pkers). It should be like OSRS doesn't degrade and % chance on all wilderness NPC. Support!

[Epico]

I personally think these would be a great plus to the server. Making them obtainable all through wild bosses and perhaps a bit more drop rate on revs would definitely increase activity in the wilderness.  support

[Dumbshit]

Whilst i do like the idea about warrior equipment, it would be a wonderful asset to make it worth killing other related wilderness npcs for the loot , but one thing is bothering me:

 

Isn't the statius warhammer exactly the same as a Dragon warhammer? Shouldn't this get looked into so that statius warhammer perhaps is something more different compared to the DwH?

[Finn Balor]

This would make wilderness very active, so I support af

[KP]

This would be the best thing ever.

[Josh]

I think these being added would be a very nice addition to the wild. I like what @Epico said about letting ALL npc's in the wilderness drop them, But letting rev caves have a higher % chance of dropping them.

Doesn't effect anything too negatively and adds a whole bunch of new content to explore and obtain.

[Poh Tato]

don't see why not i loved them pre-eoc thiuk ill love them now

[Elite benjou]

i think thats a great idea but, to try it out i would create an special play man mode for thoose special items. for simple it can be called ''ancient man mode,, for that items. so  players can try it out, or you can  do an event to fight people each other in simple battle royale for a small alora reward. that would be a challenge for players as grind the wildernes items and make more active. i of course support it! and i hope you liked my ideas aswell.

I might be the odd one out but I would not like these. If osrs implemented them in regular servers or if we had dead man sure, but I think it would just make some content in the game less valuable like vls > rapier, zuriels > ancestral etc.

[Galantis]

07 doesnt have these so I dont think alora should have them either if im being honest with you guys, no support.

 

dont ruin the game or eco

hmm, what if the stats get reduced when using it outside of pvp ?

[Arkadus]

I honestly do not want them ingame. Too OP in my opinion. 

[Horror]

Vesta long with full stat is w/e on DMM.
On DMM people don't have prims, infernal, bring i, avernic defender, etc.
This would be terrible for the singles community imo.

If they're brought in, idc if they're used for pvm. Just don't allow them to be used for pvp until/IF jagex adds them to the base gamemode. 

[DSyR]

I don't PK much if at all... but I can see where they would impact the PvP scene both negatively & positively.

 

Pros:

• More loot from the wilderness in general.
• You'll see some dank KO's.
• More PvPers.

Cons:

• People will cry at how OP they are. (even if they're not.)
• Less PvPers.
• Not degradable ( Perhaps.)

 

But ultimately people would most likely love these items.

 

Support.

Shitty idea, do not add lmfao. ruin the eco, i mean i play ironman but yea its a horrible idea

[Irvo]

As much as I love it I really feel bad for supporting the PvP armor introduction into game. Let's be real that stuff is legit BiS, who cares about Bandos or Justiciar if you can have Vesta.

 

What I am afraid of is people legit going to camp for those items fulltime because those item sets might be worth more than an Elysian or Scythe.

 

I mean if done wrong it could change the entire PvM Meta as well. I don't really want to compete with people in Vesta at Corp.

[Not Mhk]

hmm, what if the stats get reduced when using it outside of pvp ?

Even if it was purely restricted to pvp I would say no, I think all current bis items are balanced and there is more issues to focus on than adding new content that osrs doesn’t have
