Let’s address it right away, the quest is the best quest I’ve ever experienced in OSRS. The lore was fantastic, the scenes were incredible, it was beautiful. I am thankful to every Jmod that worked on this. The bridge fight scene was something else. Vampyrium however, feels rushed & unfinished. Sunspear even after a buff is still not better than stakes/flail, it’s a GM quest and it’s okay for this to be better than an arkan blade, d scim, and even rival something like a zombie axe. Mobs drop nothing, they were promised to drop the tarnished items and other loot, but instead we get ashes/bones. Half of the mobs shown to be coming to vampyrium are seen once or were completely dropped. (Vampyre snails, bears, etc) Half of vampyrium is inaccessible and makes me feel this was in fact rushed. Looking at you sotfa Forest. The quest has you do this pseudo temple trekking activity through the forest, and you also can’t go back to that. Bloodwood after giving it another try is fantastic, but the AFK method was polled & promised on release. Tarnished items need buffed, would feel way better as a drop from Maggot King if when you got a tarnished amulet there’d be a 1/1k chance or something for an onyx amulet or 1/300 for a d2h. It just feels underwhelming and most times the loot is dropped. Flail spec wasn’t upgraded and was a missed opportunity, also not sure why it doesn’t have a crush style given the current precedence. submitted by /u/Retributw
