[2019] The Nightmare of Ashihama Poll Blog

Is there anything you can tell us about the Nightmare of Ashihama fight? I'm not opposed to voting yes based on just this blurb, but you're not giving us much to vote on lol.

Volatile Orb (orange): Gives the Staff a special attack that fires a single spell at the target. This spell requires no runes to use but costs 50% special attack energy. The attack deals up to 65 base damage (which can be increased using damage boosting items) with 50% improved accuracy.

uhh seems a tad strong for a magic ags but we'll see

edit: math says this maxes high 90s in max if tome passes. lets not do this.

Eldritch Orb (green): Gives the Staff a special attack that fires a single spell at the target. This spell requires no runes to use but costs 75% special attack energy. The attack deals up to 50 base damage (which can be increased using damage boosting items) and restores the casters Prayer points by 50% of the damage dealt. This can boost the caster’s Prayer points above their Prayer level to a maximum of 120.

magic sgs :pog:

The Nightmare has a rare chance of dropping the Siren's Tome. This tome will be tradeable and require 75 Magic to equip. It will not degrade. It will have the following stats:

Thoughts on tome also giving pretty hefty (say -10) defense bonuses to all styles including magic, on top of the -5 prayer?

Inquisitor armor blah blah blah

Defense bonuses seem a tad high for 30 def & seems to get rid of obby. Any chance the def requirements could be raised?

Gonna be a big no from me on the staff. Way too high damage, and boost to 120 prayer? Stacked with everything else that adds magic damage bonuses, what would the max be

Originally posted by thisfornsfwww

65 max hit and as someone said with the proper boosting items max is 82.. that’s very op

Love the new NPC models. The staff with orbs is a great idea, too, albeit the prayer restore one seems OP.

Technically it can restore up to 37 on task if my math is right and only that staff and spec passes, but that's kinda splitting hairs. Carrying a potential 5 way switch and using 75% Spec Attack energy to save about 2 p-pot doses seems a bit excessive to me.

Since the models are a subject to change, could we get more old-schoolish models for the NPC's? They look good, colorful, but it doesn't really fit OS aesthetic that much. Having a few HD objects in an unchanged OSRS world breaks the immersion for me, that's all.

As it is not a (group) instance and there is no mention of an NPC that collects your loot, is it safe to assume that irons will be able to go in with an inventory of food, suicide, repeat a couple of times and then attempt to kill the boss with a large amount of food on the floor?

Honestly creepy af I love it. Reminds me of the hag from IT 2. That shit gave me chills..

Can you set up clan wars/tournament worlds with the staff/books (placeholder models)? That might alleviate a lot of concerns around their strength

Personally I think the armor needs to be level 50 defence with the stats it has, and the book should have lower attack but with 5% damage. The armor as is makes obby almost obsolete except for the obsidian weapon niche, while giving rune/zerk accounts too good of dps tools compared to lower builds. Having 30 defence would probably cause a new breed of pure types, which isn't a bad thing. All in all I like the concept of everything, but I think it needs to be balanced more.

That is good, what will be the best way to give feedback once that is out?

Any chance I’ll get to have fun with 6 jads in this tournament world?

Instead of the same old boring book design for offhand mage for Siren's Tome, why not something more creative? Like how about the Nightmares Head, and you hold it by her white hair. That would be sick!

Is the 65 base damage independent of your Magic lvl? If so, that's very different to how KO spec for melee and ranged works. That's easily 80+ max hit with occult which I don't wanna see being possible with only 75 Magic. You hit nowhere near that with either 75 Strength or 75 Ranged.

May I suggest the max hit to be based on your Magic lvl? Could be Magic/2 + 10 for instance, so 50 with 80 Magic and 59 with 99 Magic before damage boosts. This also gives a reason to use stuff like magic potions or even imbued hearts to raise your max hit even further.

Hey west, I’ve tried reaching out to the artists on twitter and asking in the qna posts for about a month now - could we get an update to the sire pet? Inferno and Corp got similar treatments and would really love for the sire pet to be big momma sire waddling behind me instead of the orphan.

hmm well great job on the armor set, I really love this set. I love dark medieval fantasy like Dark Souls, and its nice I can finally replace Bandos with something that looks super badass! Plus bonus points for the Zamorak symbol since that is my favorite god in the game. Maybe the spikes on the helmet can be slightly taller, for more of a Sauron look.

Perhaps Mod RY can make some tweaks to the Mace to make it look more intimidating, it looks slightly like a flower. Maybe close up the spikes a bit to make it look like Saurons mace.

Finally any info to share on Nercromancy Spellbook redesign, and Boss Slayer Helms redesign?
