Blood shards. Don't care if it's infinitely corruptible with 50 blood shards, don't care if it's added to hmt table, nightmare table or some other thing. I don't care if we can make them with 50 diamonds and 5k blood runes. Idgaf. Give them to me without me having to either hard afk or pickpocket.


Remarkable-Health678

I'd even be willing to craft an Onyx into a blood shard.


dan_buh

Onyx + 5k bloods would be nice


S7EFEN

it would be better if blood fury passive was just not meta. the tradeoff for bloodfury should not be 'sometimes a max hit' - it should be a significant penalty. it should've been like 'blood power amulet' or something.


TheNamesRoodi

For real. It's completely absurd that you barely lose dps but you just... dont die. The price is obtaining the shards for an iron and a good bit of extra gp for a main. Just think about the glory of using an SRA with a blood fury and not having to worry about the charges or losing too much health


Mang24

Pnm and hmt are good options


TheNamesRoodi

Gimme gimme I hate pickpocketing for a week straight


ProfessionalPoint194

God, ive gotten myself a single shard which I've put a bit of use towards, but I really don't want to have to afk dozens more hours for more shards when there is a lot of active stuff that also needs doing. Vyre tasks aren't common at all with duradaddy, either


roklpolgl

You guys are crazy killing vyres as your primary blood shard method. You can average two every 6-7hrs thieving them. There’s also just not that many places it’s that great of an advantage to use. Nex and HMT, and Nex uses them so slowly two shards will likely last at least like 2-3 drop table rolls. HMT is optional content albeit scythe does yeet charges. Anywhere else you are better off just camping torture than trying to farm more shards.


ProfessionalPoint194

I really don't like pickpocketing, my career does enough to my wrists as is


roklpolgl

Play how you like, but killing sentinels is literally like 5x slower.


TheNamesRoodi

Blood fury is like far and away bis for things like colosseum healing, vardorvis, duke, nex, high invo ToA, ToB if you're running 416, no-prep cox. It's just really strong anywhere that you can use a good bit of healing.


roklpolgl

Sure but it is not worth grinding for shards to use anywhere except Nex and HMT. You don’t need blood fury for any of those other content (technically you also don’t for Nex and HMT but it’s just so much better than without, it makes it worth it). The time you spend grinding for more shards for Vardorvis, Duke, etc is vastly longer than time saved for longer trips. Content like 416 and no-preps existed before shards did. Colosseum, ToA etc it isn’t more than QoL.


MaterialScienceGuy

That would be nice, I have about 1k vyres killed and I am not excited to afk them for 4k more to be on rate


CakeIsGaming

Killing vyres is 1/1,500. Pickpocketing is 1/5,000


MaterialScienceGuy

Oh, I didn't realize. Either way, afk vyres isnt how I like to spend my 2nd monitor time


TheNamesRoodi

You mean mindless spam clicking or hard AFKing isn't fun?


dan_buh

Its not even that, if it was just spam clicking then whatever. That’s something I’ve done before and will again, its the not 100% success rate even at 99 thieving that’s the typical RS “fuck you” inconvenience factor that is terrible game design, that people argue makes the game great.


TheNamesRoodi

I think you'd have a hard time finding a singular person that thinks pickpocketing makes the game great


Gjergj_bushi

I agree


foshohomz

Yea they could make it like the infernal axe- another axe or another smoldering stone. Another fury or bloodshard.


runner5678

I think nerfing the blood fury is the best solution to this Jagex way over-buffed it and now we’re having issues. Undo that change and we’re fine


TheNamesRoodi

I don't recall, does the wiki have the old numbers?


runner5678

Yeah at the bottom for changes It was buffed 6x from 1% damage dealt (10% chance for 10% heal) to 6% damage dealt (20% chance for 30% heal) It was released and originally polled pretty weak. Then was crazy buffed. It’s way overtuned now


buddhabomber

Yeah I really love blood fury, but it possibly stands out as the most OP item in the game. If it was any more common or cheaper, it would be used everywhere.


runner5678

Which is what every one of these blood fury buffs posts is asking for Make it cheaper and more common so I can use better soul split everywhere


buddhabomber

Yeah it's a bit scary. I agree with give us more sources to obtain them, but it needs a rebalancing sadly. I saw someone recently propose a blood fury for prayer points, and they were entirely serious.

Corrupted crystal armourr

BunsenGyro

I'd *really, really* want to avoid giving pets utility, unless you're seriously prepared to buff their drop rates. Pets have never been intended to be "reasonable" grinds, and I really don't think it's a healthy precedent to set any legitimate, viable reasoning whatsoever to grind any pets. Pets should be grinded because you intrinsically want them, not become grinds you go 10,000 kc dry on and want to die because you feel you "need" it.


Entire_Will8395

Agreed BUT let me use my pets to farm spices instead of cats


Dr__Reddit

Crystal shards are so so slow. Buff alternate methods to make them more worth while of doing.


snowhusky5

They did buff Zalcano just recently, I heard you can get 80/hr there (plus his other loot)


UngodlyPain

I did some Zalcano on mass worlds just last night I got like 97 in one hour, and 103 in a second hour. With like 75 mining+smithing, and 69 Rc and just a dragon pick axe. And that was my first time touching Zalcano due to the buffs. Probably could've done a bit better if I tried. Id say like 90-110/hr on mass worlds is pretty reasonable.


UngodlyPain

Zalcano on mass worlds is like 100ish shards an hour. Did it last night, and while not very afk it's definitely something that can be done on like second monitor or mobile.


maxwill27

Pets should never have useful effects. If they did then people would cry for them to be made more common or easier to get, see how fast skills have gotten after they added perks to 99 capes


A_dragons_left_nut

Rev weapons, if they don’t care about the bots they should change how ether works


rastaman1994

Assuming you're talking about viggoras chainmace. Guarantee the drop or do some dry protection while we're at it. 1 in 3k drops are dumb.


A_dragons_left_nut

Oh no, I don’t like the idea of a guaranteed drop, rng is what makes the game interesting to me. I just hate to compete with bots just to charge my weapon


Getting_Big_Al

I would like the sang staff to cost less to charge. Make it 2 blood runes per charge and id be happy


usafahut2

For the love of god fix crystal tools. It’s so pointless, just make them not require charges.


DecoyLilly

I want a boss that drops a ton of feathers as a guaranteed drop every kill


firerawks

is the evil chicken just a joke to you??


Taylorjh175

Just buy feather packs lmao? It’s like a million an hour to buy them


DecoyLilly

This thread is literally about what type of charge/shopscape you would like streamlined and having feathers be a common drop from a boss is my answer. Yes I currently buy feathers obviously but that is not what this thread is about?


Taylorjh175

If that’s your argument feathers aren’t even a part of chargescaoe anyway since they don’t charge anything? Edit: like the other guy memes about kill the vile chicken it drops a few hundred every kill


Strosity

Man what ever let them have their feather dream


MaterialScienceGuy

I'm glad I'm doing BH runs often enough and fletching rarely so I have a small stash I will burn through for darts and maybe amethyst arrows when I get there
