Sorry for not having this topic on a regular format however it would not work/fit properly.
I have 3 suggestions here each with a different goal. The first being to give new pkers a simple, easy way to learn and pick up pking, the second being to keep all the top tier pkers interested in playing this server instead of getting bored and leaving for other servers/osrs like many of them have done in the past and lastly to overall clean up the pkp shop and make it more useful (Not necessarily more profitable) for the pvp scene.
UPDATED LAST MAN STANDING
This would be the PERFECT way for any player new to the current pvp meta to learn to tribrid pk. For those who don't know what the updated version is, you spawn in with standard welfare NH gear and inventory. Whenever you get a kill, your supplies are reset (Eliminates just camping fights until they finish for easy kills) and you also get a key which can be used on a chest for 2 random gear upgrades (This gear varies from barrows items, imbued rings, PvP weapons, BiS PvP items etc.)
In my opinion this is perfect for any new pker since they risk nothing and can learn for free even on their ironman/whatever gamemode they are accounts.
The rewards could be the same as LMS On OSRS (Mostly cosmetics), See here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/last-man-standing?oldschool=1 (Ty @
I understand of all these suggestions, this is what would take the largest amount of dev time however I think this is the perfect way to kickstart pking on alora, which is the only area the server lacks.
PK Elo System
This has worked/does work on many other servers. Whenever you get a kill you get (as an example) +15 to your elo rating, whenever you die you get say -10. This elo rating would reset say every 2 weeks and upon reset, the top 3 players get rewarded. (Please feel free to suggest rewards that would be fair.)
This should ONLY work below 5 wilderness or at edgepvp and on players risking over (an example) 750K. (Prevents farming skillers and ironmen/pvmers while increasing wilderness activity at edgeville, which is something many pkers look for when first joining the server.)
I believe this one would be the easiest to code/take up the least dev time and has no negative impact on the game in any way as long as the rewards are fair.
Updated PkP shop
Currently the pkp shop is 90% random items that are much easier obtained from pvm and 10% useless cosmetics. All pkers simply sell their emblems. My suggestion is a complete overhaul of this shop and making it items commonly used in PvP that don't come into the game as much as other items (From what I know, Please correct me if i am wrong.)
ITEMS TO BE REMOVED:
AGS, TENT, TSOTD, ACB, CLAWS, ALL CERB BOOTS, SPIRIT SHIELD, CRYSTAL SHIELD, DFS, BANDOS, OCCULT, ALL ZENYTE JEWELLERY, ALL DARK BOW/WHIP PAINTS, BH HATS, ALL IMBUED RINGS (Keep the imbue ring option for 2.5k PKP.) RoW SCROLL, WILDY SWORD 4, SOUL BEARER.
ITEMS TO BE ADDED:
PvP Boxes (HIGH AMOUNT OF PKP.), Morrigans Javelins, Morrigans thrownaxes, Opal dragon bolts, Dragonstone dragon bolts, Regular Dragonstone bolts, Heavy Ballista, Dragon javelins,
This update does not necessarily make this shop more profitable, however it does make it very useful for people pking. This idea is that it will mean people that mainly get the emblems/pkp actually want to use them for items they will use/need, instead of having to spend (as an example) 100K Per dragon bolt (Yes that is what they are right now.) Which is just a stupid price. The list of items to be removed/added is obviously not finalized, if you have suggestions please let me know.
This update again will take up very little dev time.
Please leave feedback/your thoughts below, tell me what you think is good and what you disagree with, this is meant to be for the WHOLE Community and balanced around everyone, not just for the top tier pvpers etc.
LARGE EDIT:
This part is purely for Omicrons life to be easier if he does decide to update the PKP Shop.
I worked out that each PKP is worth an average of 5300 GP, Or 795K Per Kill in the wilderness (Based on getting an average of 150 PKP per kill.)
These Prices are based off the top 10 Current items to buy from the PKP Shop in terms of worth in the trading post. (If anyone is interested, add my discord Dan.2684 And i can explain how I worked this out in detail for each item.)
With this being said, I worked out that fair prices for ALL of the items I suggested are as follows:
ITEMS TO BE ADDED WITH PRICES:
PVP Box: 15K PKP (Based on the AVERAGE price of a pvp item currently being around 80m. Again I can show in detail how this was calculated if needed.)
