[2020] Spear of Annihilation looks like a Cheap MTX Cosmetic?

So I’ve taken it to each digsite, war’s retreat, Corporal beast lair, death’s office, and priffidinas.

Regardless of lighting, the texture of the metal (silver and gold) just looks off, sometimes it’s hyper glossy, other times it looks like a matte plastic, as compared to trimmed masterwork that is metallic. The stones are even more pink than amulet of souls, but I don’t see any logical justification for pink stones on the spear.

Even the non masterworked spear looks a bit dollar store plastic like on the metal (gold, dark grey, silver), and both are missing any trace of the 500 malachite green used in construction. The bronze plated white oak shaft also looks more like plastic than metal or wood.

I think if the textures are fixed to be more matte metallic like masterwork, and the stones made green, it would match better to trimmed masterwork and to it’s lore/material inspirations. Some use of black/green may be nice on the shaft or making the bronze have a more metallic/wood texture (perhaps with some green filigree design).

There’s also appears to be a bug (according to the stream from TheRSGuy) where unaugmenting the spear removes the Masterwork... is this intentional?

Tangentially, obviously this is going to be used at corporeal beast, but it only has one square range, whereas the tier 82 Masuta’s Warspear is the only “spear” at Corp with 2 square range. Even if certain aoe abilities like quake or meteor strike were excluded, it would be interesting if there was a way for the strongest spear to have comparable range to the Masuta’s Warspear, even if the upgrade process makes it permanently untradeable.

Appreciate your reply and listening to player feedback on this. If this could be brought in line aesthetically with other T92s like Zaros Godsword it would be great!

Edit: Also, the auto attack animation is a slash instead of a stab, perhaps this should be fixed?

Edit 2: Apparently, despite this being Bandosian, this doesn’t count as a God Item for Bandos God Wars?
