I’d like to preface this with I am an ironman with pretty decent gear edit below (full oath+scythe, i’m opting for twinflame>acb due to dragon bolt cost) and I am really enjoying the boss, its a decent boss, it has some useful tech to it, and the quest itself - chef’s kiss - absolute cinema, i’m beyond happy with the quest. Now for the issues We all know that the loot here is ass, its not even funny the fact that you get half used jewellery and the troll leechfin drop (“Oh just bring a knife” - yeah because bringing a knife is better…) But what is annoying me is Jagex appear to have done everything possible to make grinding this boss annoying Crappy drops They add an NPC to bring your grave items to you, but you need to bring GP WITH YOU to use it?? If you run back to your grave, they add an agility shortcut, but they give it a pretty high fail rate and a dialogue box to slow you down more??? THE FUCKING DIRE BAT who hits you through pray melee and melee armour half the time, whats the point of that? If you run from the agility shortcut, you also hit a loading line (similar to the doom door) which slows you down even more Alongside the shit drops, they added some pretty useful healing items (medal and tartare) but GOD FORBID you want to heal up at your POH or Nardah, the game nukes your tartare! Why was ticking “untradable” not enough? Or even “You don’t feel safe eating this outside of vampyrium” - even teleporting to Castle Drakan takes you out of Vampyrium! It just feels like at every corner they have picked the most annoying way to set up this boss - please please please Jagex you are better than this - you added the shortcut, you added decent boss food, you added the NPC; now make them not annoying to actually use Edit: Apologies for my use of the word decent, I am aware my melee gear is good, my point is that the boss fight is generally a good time, my issue is with the space between the trips submitted by /u/Diamond_Blooded
