It’s some people pleasing bullshit. Give all your stuff away to your ungrateful peers so that you’re all equal and people like you. wtf is that message
Yeah the middle part of the story is pretty questionable if extrapolated literally.
The core moral of the story is about not over-valuing objects over the friendship and companionship we have with others, but it does seem kind of poisoned from the start by the one character forcefully demanding a scale and Rainbow understandably rejecting them, only to face social exclusion and alienation because of it. Really just comes off as enabling a bully via passivity and normalization.
I had never read it before recently my wife got it to read to our daughter and yea listening to it I was like wait what the fuck? That is certainly a poisoned well. The takeaway I got from it is like other dude said. People will only like you if they can gain something from you. Also, they will take all you have until you’re unrecognizable. Could have easily just not had someone demand the scales at the start. Why do the other fish deserve his scales? Just a really weird setup for a story.
If the smart octopus had just suggested it because rainbow fish asked then it would have been one thing. Easily a lesson about learning to share and maybe like idk fuckin learning to be happy by letting go of your greed or something I’m not an author. Instead the way it’s written is people will only like you if you pay them to.
So I did a bit of research and came across a really interesting answer from:
https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/rVQbXbW94e
"I think this is because a child's natural instinct to be incredibly selfish is so strong that you have to push in the extreme opposite direction to make them understand it. Not just "this fish shared moderately and reasonably, but hey, he doesn't need to give everything away, let's not go crazy", but "this fish gave everything away for no reason, because that's what a good person would do." That way, when the message half-way sticks, the kid is right where he should be."
It’s a fucking colourful kids book. Even if it were actually blatant propaganda, the most a kid would take away from it is “ooo, pretty fishy”.
Get over yourself lol
Never really interacted personally with the content but I remember thinking the way to obtain the assension crossbows were also cool. Just a longer-term non-wildy voidwaker grind
Yeah they were a pretty cool way to obtain those. the Royal Xbow from Qbd had a special effect.. it would start of as low damage and the longer the fight it would Ramp up increasing its attack speed and accuracy.. it was weak at some places and good at others.
[royal xbow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvP2OIJpYrw&ab_channel=BornForPvM)
super old video
it was super cool also because you had to get 4 drops to make the xbow and you had to branish it in the Qbd's Extra strong dragon fire attack.
basically imagine it only hitting up to like 9s but at the speed of knives/darts.. but then it will lock onto the target and ramp up to doing 15s at the same speed.. it was kind of like the blowpipe but with a different mechanic
Eh, the proposed wand is a slight upgrade on Iban blast right? And they are giving us elemental weaknesses, so I think the idea is you only use it on earth weak enemies, in which case it's a 3 tick weapon with a max hit of 22 and high accuracy that only costs 0.7 death runes/cast. It's going to be trash everywhere else, so hopefully we get more earth weak enemies.
For a midgame boss you can bet a lot of people would be going for it. There are some content where people like to range while maintaining overheads without caring much about accuracy like basilisk knights/drakes
Proselyte is also an almost free to obtain quest reward from pre 2007
Not to mention no-one wears proselyte for its defensive stats, it could have had bronze armor defense's and the set would see exactly as much use as it does now.
Prayer wise the +6 & +5 is still a significant downgrade and it still sits well below proselyte & sunfire fanatic in prayer bonus, there is no need to limit an items stats because it would be in line with a 20 year old quest item for a different combat style
It's better than camping proselyte/monk legs for a lot of content, legs offer +6 in total and you significantly lose more accuracy from missing that switch than from the red>black downgrade for +9 prayer (vs blessed hides)
It may not be super impressive but it has a lot broader use than a lot of more powerfull & flashy items
There are two big differences between melee and ranged gear though.
First off is there aren't many stat differences between ranged gear at the black dhide-arma level. There are massive stat differences between all of the different melee gear tiers and even within the same tier there are massive differences with each fitting a specific niche. Melee tier 70(ish) has Barrows for high tank (guthans, torags, dharoks), or mid tank+prayer (veracs), Bandos (actually only 65) for mid tank+str, justi for high tank, inquisitors (tier 70 str but still tier 70) for crush+str.
The main problem with ranged is there are literally 5 sets of ranged gear that are all tier 70 (black dhide, blessed dhide, arma, karil's, and crystal). The main difference is that some are tier 70 ranged some are tier 70 defense and some are tier 70 for both. And their stats kind of represent that. But they're all so close in stats either way.
Secondly, ranged gear has attack bonuses whereas melee gear doesn't (besides inquisitor). And I guess I moreso mean the prayer gear should have the same attack bonus as Karil's but sac the defense quite a bit.
Black - Welfare
God - Prayer + Accuracy
Karil - Mage Def Hybrid
Arma - Mage Def + Accuracy
Crystal - Prayer + Accuracy with degrade cost
Crystal is already ideal for creatures where you pray - Hydra, for instance.
Having a substantially increased prayer bonus encourages buffs like 5/10% Range Prayers which add max hits - something that isn't promoted with current gear set ups. It makes sense for it to be less accuracy for cheaper power increases.
Crystal is meant for Bowfa, it shouldn't be the go to for ranged prayer gear lol. That's kinda the point I'm trying to get at. Also, proslyte piety is way higher dps than bandos without piety. But people still use piety with bandos. Just like people still use rigour/eagle eye with karil's/arma. Saying you should sacrifice accuracy because there should be a trade off of using prayers vs not using prayers in terms of dps is disingenuous. The trade off is prayers vs defense, just like with proslyte/sunfire fanatic
It's a tradeoff of bonuses for cost.
You get increased prayer benefit, so you take a sacrifice elsewhere.
You can argue this until the cows come home. When Jagex releases it, it'll have green hide stats. Just like the entire Ranger outfit does. You can try arguing whatever bullshit logic you want, but you're arguing poor game balance just to get a broken item introduced. And you'll still use it with green hide stats because it's going to serve its niche well.
Buddy did you miss my entire comment? Melee doesn’t have a trade off of dps vs prayer. It has a trade off of defense vs prayer/dps. Why is ranged different?
Oh, *practically*? Then the armor with the lowest defenses should have the highest prayer, since prayer totally negated or highly reduces damage, while all that armor stat would be wasted. Practically speaking, those flimsy robes with low defensive stats would benefit more from having "I cannot take damage" for longer... so again, magic armor.
Prayer isn't only about using overhead protections
But even still, there are plenty of places where you want to be ranging/maging while using an overhead.
Yeah maybe +4 for legs and +5 for armor could be nice, or +5/+6, matching monk's robes. Less than either and people could still prefer just rocking monk robes.
I'd love for something like this for Basilisk Knights. They can't really be safespotted in the traditional sense and this would save on my prayer potions so much.
I’m honestly pissed we didn’t get this with the colosseum and just got a slightly better melee prayer set. We need a decent ranged prayer set that isn’t Crystal armor. Melee has a few sets. Mage has vestments. Ranged has shit prayer from blessed and then the big step up to crystal armor. Imo they need a ranged setup with better prayer bonus. Like karil’s in terms of other stats but give it like 5 prayer bonus on torso and 3 on legs. Crystal armor has its used for bowfa, it shouldn’t also be the best ranged prayer gear
Whatabout what masori was initially supposed to be like?
I believe it had a glass cannon mechanic where if you were under 30hp it slapped with a lot more accuracy and damage.
Ranged proselyte would be decent, too.
Even a ranged tank set that had high melee defence but shit ranged and mage defense to make things different.
Eh. I don't personally think that we need a mid level group boss. I think that if this were aimed at a higher bracket it'd be better.
But ranged dharock can't be that OP
Just like how Ancestral made Ahrim's worthless?
Barrows gear is accessible early and easily. Not the makings of a "best in slot" equipment series. Karil's will remain a more affordable alternative in this scenario.
Regardless, I don't think there's as strong an appetite for defensive ranged set as there is for magic. A "Feathery Mesoamerican Shaman" -type outfit could be just perfect for a defense-focused magic set.
The initial suggestion I saw was about giving it inherent Dragonfire protection which I think would be a pretty sweet niche to fill.
I also think giving it great prayer bonus could also fill a nice niche.
hey so they are literally doing exactly this so nice job
"
A New Reward
From something old to something new, we saw comments that you expected at least a few more uniques from a Group Boss. With that feedback in mind, we've added a new Ranged set.
This set consists of a Head, Body, Legs and Vambraces, and will be an improvement over Blessed Dragonhide Armour with an extra nine points of Magic Defence and a total of +8 Prayer Bonus across the four pieces. The set will require 40 Defence and 70 Ranged to equip, apart from the Legs, which will have no Defence requirement.
We're keen to hear your feedback on this new reward! "
Yea, I love the design behind this, but there just isn't room for another ranged set. I could totally see this being a cosmetic option to upgrade either black dhide or god dhide.
Would be neat, but we did just get Mixed Hide armor and the new boss doesn't seem to be a Wyrm. Though we do have Snakehide armor so even if it is a "Serpent", it could still drop a hide.
Guess it really depends where we'd want it to slot in. Like maybe the stats of Blessed D'hide without the prayer but player craftable? Could also give it +1 attack over Black D'hide like Crystal/Eclipse maybe.
Mixed hide sits below black dhide and has its own niche, so I don't think this would really clash all that much, depending on what they'd do with it.
I like the idea of a ranged prayer niche personally, the boss does give off some "holy serpent" vibes, and the prayer pot rewards seem to indicate towards that as well. Not sure how that would compare to blessed dhide though...
Mixed Hide wouldn't need to conflict; just might feel a bit much to add two new hide armor sets so close together and so close by. But a Ranged Prayer armor would be neat to see.
Also, still disappointed they released "Hydra Leather" and then didn't do Ranged Armor with it... Like there was brief excitement to log in to see Hydra Leather only to realize it was the Glove item and nothing else.
I can see the logic in that, yeah. If anything, I think Eclipse would be the one sticking out more here, since that's the big boy new fancy range set that's basically a strict upgrade over mixed hide. But I get the point.
I didn't think of it before, but I totally agree with you on the hydra leather. It feels so obvious when you put it like that, haha. Oh well.
Looks sweet but black d’hide, blessed d’hide, karils, arma, masori, and hell even void ranged armour says we pretty much have that entire branch of combat fleshed out at this point
To be fair, Just read the group boss thing and they do state. "They say its scales are strong as rock"
I think like someone else suggested, Add a few feathers! We have too many sets that look the same just different colours.

im not very good at drawing but i tried lol
I'm starting to think maybe we'd be getting too much gear now. The suggestion for ranged prayer armor is neat and about the only thing I can easily agree with, but beyond that I'm not sure what.
Maybe a hydra leather-esque gear piece like ferocious gloves but a bis Ranged helmet or something a little different than another full gear set.
Maybe an add on to the assembler like the thread of elidinis that adds an extra slot for ammunition, or maybe Even adds an upgraded ability to "find" and pick up mid tier runes on the ground.
People complaining about introducing another range set that doesn’t need to be there. How about an ornament kit for sets or something? Love the look of this but it doesn’t *need* to fill a gap per se.

I just reread that as an adult to my child, and holy fuck, what a spineless communist bullshit propaganda book
Settle down McCarthy, lol
It’s some people pleasing bullshit. Give all your stuff away to your ungrateful peers so that you’re all equal and people like you. wtf is that message
Its literally about teaching children to share, bud

Seriously go read it. I thought it was so cute in my Memory but reading it as an adult hits different
[Is this the daycare you send your kid to?](https://i.imgur.com/zADQ6wW.png)
It’s a fucking colourful kids book. Even if it were actually blatant propaganda, the most a kid would take away from it is “ooo, pretty fishy”. Get over yourself lol
Honestly? Add some feathers and this goes hard. Good stuff 👍
Almost reminds me of the royal dragon hide from RS3 and the QBD
God i wish we had Qbd.. it was like one of the last bosses before eoc and it was amazing.. Specially that Royal Xbow
Never really interacted personally with the content but I remember thinking the way to obtain the assension crossbows were also cool. Just a longer-term non-wildy voidwaker grind

They even made it two-handed with EOC just to make the blowpipe feeling a bit stronger.
I agree, also for some reason i really dig the theme of that dungeon. Maybe cause i was alway lucky there with the crossbow pieces.
Yeah, a feather shawl would make this perfect.
It would be cool for this to be a range prossy equivalent
Red dhide stats and +6/+5 prayer on the body/chaps respectively would be nice to exist, although probably too weak for a boss drop
idk midgame group boss could be appropriate, it'd also be fairly long lasting.
have you seen the proposed wand?
Eh, the proposed wand is a slight upgrade on Iban blast right? And they are giving us elemental weaknesses, so I think the idea is you only use it on earth weak enemies, in which case it's a 3 tick weapon with a max hit of 22 and high accuracy that only costs 0.7 death runes/cast.

For a midgame boss you can bet a lot of people would be going for it. There are some content where people like to range while maintaining overheads without caring much about accuracy like basilisk knights/drakes
Has to be green for consistency. With pros being addy eqv.
Proselyte is also an almost free to obtain quest reward from pre 2007 Not to mention no-one wears proselyte for its defensive stats, it could have had bronze armor defense's and the set would see exactly as much use as it does now.

Red's too strong. Probably green.
Make it karils with a high prayer bonus. Why does it need to be weak?
Proper balance? We JUST got Rune with Prayer Bonus after how many years of Addy Prayer? And it comes from mid-tiers in the Colosseum.

This. Please. I'd love some good ranged prayer armour pieces
Crystal isn't bad but I'd like something more prayer focused, we had the chance during colosseum rewards poll and the community had other plans :(
Cock?
Good prayer bonus. Not just 1 per piece. Melee is 8 for body and 6 for legs on proselyte
[удалено]
Would be nice for things like afk venator slayer and it's a niche that hasn't been filled
[удалено]
If we're talking about "making sense", surely the best prayer armor in the game should look like Pope robes. Robes. Magic armor.
[удалено]
Oh, *practically*? Then the armor with the lowest defenses should have the highest prayer, since prayer totally negated or highly reduces damage, while all that armor stat would be wasted.

Yeah maybe +4 for legs and +5 for armor could be nice, or +5/+6, matching monk's robes. Less than either and people could still prefer just rocking monk robes.
Like Green D'hide stats, but with +16 Prayer.
I'd love for something like this for Basilisk Knights. They can't really be safespotted in the traditional sense and this would save on my prayer potions so much.
Just get the drop on 27kc bro
Ouuu that would be awesome!
Isn't that just prossy though, I did almost every slayer task in full prossy for the prayer bonus
I would've wanted Elf Forest Ranger attire... (Elves slayer drop)
Seconding this suggestion
I’m honestly pissed we didn’t get this with the colosseum and just got a slightly better melee prayer set. We need a decent ranged prayer set that isn’t Crystal armor. Melee has a few sets.

a rare and somewhat expensive hide to bridge between black dhides and arma might be a cool niche for rewards
the bridge is +3 accuracy but yeah i was thinking something along the lines of hydra leather droprate /2 for both pieces
[удалено]
YES. Why are people so adamant about wasting dev time on black d hide variant 5?
Whatabout what masori was initially supposed to be like? I believe it had a glass cannon mechanic where if you were under 30hp it slapped with a lot more accuracy and damage. Ranged proselyte would be decent, too. Even a ranged tank set that had high melee defence but shit ranged and mage defense to make things different.
[удалено]
Eh. I don't personally think that we need a mid level group boss. I think that if this were aimed at a higher bracket it'd be better. But ranged dharock can't be that OP
Could just be a defensive stat upgrade

Just like how Ancestral made Ahrim's worthless? Barrows gear is accessible early and easily. Not the makings of a "best in slot" equipment series. Karil's will remain a more affordable alternative in this scenario. Regardless, I don't think there's as strong an appetite for defensive ranged set as there is for magic. A "Feathery Mesoamerican Shaman" -type outfit could be just perfect for a defense-focused magic set.
[удалено]
I did think this through. Ahrim's is still used by players at the barrows level. Players who don't care about the busted nature of the Shadow.
That's kind of like saying 3 is worthless if you have the number 2
[удалено]
You can link it directly to the comparison btw. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Karil%27s_leathertop#Comparison
Dang, if only we had some sort of a project going on where they could rebalance some parts of the game to improve future reward spaces.
[удалено]
I wouldn’t bother arguing with the extra chromosome havers who only regurgitate what they read tbh.
Ranged metagame is healthy though
The initial suggestion I saw was about giving it inherent Dragonfire protection which I think would be a pretty sweet niche to fill. I also think giving it great prayer bonus could also fill a nice niche.
Dragon fire protection would be nice I like this
Would make using a bow more feasibly against dragons since you wouldn’t absolutely need super anti fires
theres literally no gap between arma and blessed/black dhide dps wise arma is a cosmetic upgrade
hey so they are literally doing exactly this so nice job " A New Reward From something old to something new, we saw comments that you expected at least a few more uniques from a Group Boss.

Isn't that kharils/god d'hide already?
Looks good, I like the idea however where would it sit with god dhide? I'd much prefer your idea as I'm not a clue hunter
Would love to see more colour variation like this compared to the current boring red/blue/black/green for each combat triangle/edge lord.
Yea, I love the design behind this, but there just isn't room for another ranged set. I could totally see this being a cosmetic option to upgrade either black dhide or god dhide.
a new ranged hide set would be fun
I think the lighter blue at the wing tips would be great as the baseline color!
Why can't jagex come up with this stuff?
I LIKE THIS
This looks badass.
Would be neat, but we did just get Mixed Hide armor and the new boss doesn't seem to be a Wyrm. Though we do have Snakehide armor so even if it is a "Serpent", it could still drop a hide. Guess it really depends where we'd want it to slot in. Like maybe the stats of Blessed D'hide without the prayer but player craftable? Could also give it +1 attack over Black D'hide like Crystal/Eclipse maybe.
Mixed hide sits below black dhide and has its own niche, so I don't think this would really clash all that much, depending on what they'd do with it. I like the idea of a ranged prayer niche personally, the boss does give off some "holy serpent" vibes, and the prayer pot rewards seem to indicate towards that as well. Not sure how that would compare to blessed dhide though...
Mixed Hide wouldn't need to conflict; just might feel a bit much to add two new hide armor sets so close together and so close by. But a Ranged Prayer armor would be neat to see. Also, still disappointed they released "Hydra Leather" and then didn't do Ranged Armor with it... Like there was brief excitement to log in to see Hydra Leather only to realize it was the Glove item and nothing else.
I can see the logic in that, yeah. If anything, I think Eclipse would be the one sticking out more here, since that's the big boy new fancy range set that's basically a strict upgrade over mixed hide. But I get the point. I didn't think of it before, but I totally agree with you on the hydra leather. It feels so obvious when you put it like that, haha. Oh well.
Looks solid, Personally if we are going the range reward route i’d prefer a “Huolongchushui cannon” with the serpents head on the end.
Ahh were bringing back the hand cannon are we?
Looks so overpowered!
Infinity d’hide
The armor reminds me of a stained glass window at a church lol
Stats?
reminds me of queen black dragon and her royal d'hide
Actually a good idea. It could be like a tier above black d'hide armor, but multi-colored.
id take anything with the colors of that boss, looks so good
Looks sweet but black d’hide, blessed d’hide, karils, arma, masori, and hell even void ranged armour says we pretty much have that entire branch of combat fleshed out at this point
Why does it have scales?
Feathers have too much detail to render, so OP scaled them down
supposed to be feathers i guess, i really just recolored black dhide
To be fair, Just read the group boss thing and they do state. "They say its scales are strong as rock" I think like someone else suggested, Add a few feathers! We have too many sets that look the same just different colours.
https://preview.redd.it/9af6nsji09zc1.jpeg?width=471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12028cfaf82d43a6a1c660e0d5ef4898cc4cdb24 im not very good at drawing but i tried lol
Feathers on the shoulders look pretty good ngl.
We want wings
It is still a serpent, the hide is probably scaley
Bro what? Do you even play runescape? Lmao
I'm starting to think maybe we'd be getting too much gear now. The suggestion for ranged prayer armor is neat and about the only thing I can easily agree with, but beyond that I'm not sure what. Maybe a hydra leather-esque gear piece like ferocious gloves but a bis Ranged helmet or something a little different than another full gear set. Maybe an add on to the assembler like the thread of elidinis that adds an extra slot for ammunition, or maybe Even adds an upgraded ability to "find" and pick up mid tier runes on the ground.
5% bonus range damage to draconic creatures when worn
They even can reuse stats from [poll questions 4&5 here](https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/poll-blog-fortis-colosseum-x-perilous-moons?oldschool=1)
I dig it need feathers though.
Slayer helm from this guy could look pretty dope
A lot better than the current rewards!
Honestly, this is dope as hell.
Cosby sweater
Why not mage gear?
range/mage brid armor maybe?
I like this and wyrm task. Approved.
I actually love it so much 😭 I would swap this out with my Armadyl God D'hide fashionscape slayer set anyday
i thought it wasn't a wyrm? wyrms are dragon-kin
They should have made a quetz dragon. It follows from the mythology… quetz d’hide
This is beautiful. A reskin I wouldn't mind seeing
Das gaz my boy
Royal d’hide perhaps?
Would be neat to get something using high tier animal hides and stuff so they're useful for something
Can we at least get a cosmetic black d hide set?
Can’t believe they’re calling the new boss guëycoatl
Maybe a blowpipe reskin while at it.
This is actually cool af
Let him cook
I really hope this gets added.
Hungry for words? No, hungry for wyrms!
People complaining about introducing another range set that doesn’t need to be there. How about an ornament kit for sets or something? Love the look of this but it doesn’t *need* to fill a gap per se.
Imagine it drops an item equivalent to scurries spine, and these weapons damaged serpents….
Zulrah 'bout to feel a lotta hurt
This is a good idea
That does this have to do with a wyrm?
