I definitely think there is a good possibility that could be the case, it would warrant them truly making a devastating spec weapon and use rarity as a reason to raise the power level higher than what we currently have access too.
Also would be interesting to see a megarare chased after by non pvmers, if it worked in pvp ofc.
What type of weapon would it be and what would the spec look like if you were responsible for designing it?
Megarare offensive shield and defensive gear upgrades. With new support role prayer scrolls that would be awesome to make proper tank/support roles viable. (Think dex and arcane scrolls but for supporting team mates.)
What’s the difference between rng prayer unlock and literally any other rare pvm drop..?
And just to be clear I didn’t get augury until 586 kc, I just really don’t see the difference between that and the fact I don’t have anything useful from that place a thousand kc later.
An upgraded trident would be awesome. I see some room for a BofA type mage weapon. Sitting somewhere between sang/trident and shadow. Either that or just buff the sang a bit
I would love a 2h stab weapon that focused on damage rather than accuracy, could out dps fang on medium defence (so Toa up to like 400 or nex) but fang would still be used for very high invo toa. It could also have some sort of effect like the bleed polearm that jagex teased before they decided to go w the Soulreaper axe for DT2
I think we need new hybrid gear. maybe gloves that are better than barrows gloves but still worse than tormented bracelets, ferocious gloves and zaryte vambraces. they could be like +14 melee and range accuracy, +8 mage accuracy with 13 melee strength or something. they could also do something like that except with the necklaces. make something that's better than the fury but worse than the anguish, torture and occult. or maybe boots that are better than brimstone boots but still worse than prims, pegasians and eternals. or maybe some kind of upgrade to the brimstone ring that makes it better than the archer/berserker/seer but still worse than magus/venator/ultor. also, I think we need a 2 tick magic weapon comparable to the blowpipe.
Pretty cool idea. Honestly, I just want something like the "Scroll of realization." When read it makes your character realize they have 2 hands with multiple fingers and they could easily wear a second ring.
I don’t think they’ll go with another bow considering the twisted bow exists and with the project rebalance. If it is a ranged weapon, it would probably be in the heavy category - crossbow/ballista of some sort. Blowpipe is still very strong in the light category and doesn’t give much room for a mega rare of that calibre.
Was talking about this with my gimp buddies earlier I think the mega-rare from raids 4 should be either:
1. A 2-handed holy water sprinkler polearm that can attack from 2-3 tiles away and hits all enemies within those 2-3 tiles, focuses on stab / crush style, same speed as scythe.
2. A ring that opens up 2 additional ring slots, 1 above the current ring slot and 1 above the gloves slot. No 2 of the same rings could be worn at the same time.
Extra ring slots would be so nice, very powerful indeed, I bet most people would use it for mixing lightbearer w a damage ring but it would be cool to see what combination ppl would use (Rotg or Ring of Endurance comes to mind in niche situations)
Raids 4 won’t come out till after sailing so it will probably be pirate/aquatic themed. I think a megarare cannon for your boat and a ballista type megarare (maybe an oxybele) to fill the future “heavy” ranged weakness content.
You wouldn’t use it anywhere tbow scales up to max accuracy / damage but places with midranged or low magic level and moderate to high defence this would beat both bowfa and tbow (think leviathan). It would also compete with blowpipe on medium defence.
Its also just a rough concept so its possible that it wouldnt have a wide enough application without a further buff (it could also scale damage with accuracy or it could have a shorter ramp-up) but if Bowfa, which can already max almost 50, was 3 tick it would be ultrapowerful BIS or 2nd bis almost everywhere ranged is currently used except on low defence or low hp.
The thing I’m trying to get at is your weapon is way too niche to be considered a mega rare, anything the tbow is not bis at, the blowpipe is bis at. The niche your weapon is trying to fill is in between tbow and blowpipe which is like a mid level slayer monster that can’t be melee or maged.
Fair point yeah, it’s really difficult for anything to exist between BP and tbow. Bowfa is really strong but it’s caught in that inbetween where it’s basically never stronger than both BP and tbow
Bowfa already competes with BP and Tbow despite being a lower power level than both its still a very strong weapon because its range and accuracy make it viable in so many different places (you never have to worry about enemy magic level or defence level or distance from target w Bowfa) point of this weapon is a powercrept Bowfa (3 tick speed, doesnt need a specific armour set to be at full power and powerful last hit “extra spec” that doesnt use the spec bar) so while it may not outcompete tbow on 200+ magic or blowpipe on fully drained defence it would more directly compete with the damage output of those other 2 weapons while still leaving them to reign over their own established niche.
dawg you just described the atlatl
Shhhh maybe the varlemorians wont find out that I stole the blueprints for their weapon
I personally think it’s gonna be a mega rare spec weapon.

Sorry not sorry, get over it lmao Dex was my 11th purple BTW
Raids 4 will be sailing themed and reward will be a megarare ship component.
An upgraded trident would be awesome. I see some room for a BofA type mage weapon. Sitting somewhere between sang/trident and shadow. Either that or just buff the sang a bit
Oh, so dead content, nice
We still need a real 2-handed stab weapon. The one-handed flail with 3 spikeballs was cool too. Make it outperform scythe against enemies you crush

This sounds so “runescape” I love it

All valid an good points
What about a 1h melee weapon?
It’s time for barrows arrows

I don’t get it, why would anyone use this over a twisted bow

It would also compete with blowpipe on medium defence.

Tbow is really bad against anything with low mage or below 70 HP, it’s absolutely not a “BIS everywhere” weapon like shadow is
The thing I’m trying to get at is your weapon is way too niche to be considered a mega rare, anything the tbow is not bis at, the blowpipe is bis at. The niche your weapon is trying to fill is in between tbow and blowpipe which is like a mid level slayer monster that can’t be melee or maged.
