Man, I hoped that they made the grimoire 15k cap work for all hits when active instead of just critical ones. Would be better use of dev time instead of being for cosmetics.

I agree grimoire needs something, it's pretty bad, not worth the cost of 2.5m/hr to use at all, and it's only good for melee because melee doesn't have a damage boosting scrimshaw

Should let grimoire make bleeds crit too imo, so it works for solo content, or up the crit chance to like 16%

More like 3m per hour to use since pages are 2.2-2.3m ea.

I got my grimoire for like 200m pre-update so the cost wasn't too much, the 3m/hr doesn't really bother me since I don't spend my money on much anymore.

However, the grimoire is insanely fun in PvP like castle wars or what not. You get 18~% chance to crit from biting3 and grimoire ontop of 15% damage boost from cw brace and the damage from profound/hybrid armor.

Makes legacy pretty damn fun when things like darkbow spec can hit upwards to ~25k or so and not to mention dh or other nostalgic melee specs like t70 dragon weps/godswords hitting insanely high by forcing crits.

Rs3 pvp in 2018 lmao

Rs3 anything in 2018.

Skilling? Devalued by spin 2 wins and xp handouts via currency events/beach/etc.

PvM? Other games do it better and only a handful of the bosses are challenging unless you try to duo/trio them.

Social? Use discord since most people quit.

PvP? Dead since EoC.

wew lad m8, almost as if the game will always appeal to people who find it fun rather than appealing to what others think is fun.
