I see a lot of comments refencing how crazy tbow or scythe was as a mega rare on release and they want that power you feel with it replicated at raids 4. Tbow came out in 2017 as the first mega rare. Scythe came out as the 2nd mega rare in 2018. Back then the best ranged weapons were armadyl crossbow and blowpipe that’s it. There was nothing bridging the gap like there is today with bofa, venator, scorching bow, zcb etc. Melee only had 1 T80 weapon. no salad blade no inq mace. Tent whip was bis slash, bludgeon was bis crush and rapier was bis stab on tob release. lance wasn’t even in the game yet. Mage only had trident as a powered staff on cox release. no surge spells existed. no harm staff no eye of ayak etc. you either had trident as a powered staff or kodai for ancients. No shit tbow or scythe felt super powerful when it came out in 2017. You can’t have that same feeling in 2026 when 3 other mega rares exist taking up space at various bosses and also having wayyy more variety of weapons for each combat style bridging the gap between the mega rares. The only way i can see jagex replicating that feeling you got with tbow is if they focus on a non weapon mega rare. submitted by /u/Wise-Sundae-3350
