What is your suggestion?: Update the reward shop for castle wars to make it more appealing to players as an incentive to take a break from grinding and have some ole fashion fun! Maybe add things that are in vote and pkp shop, add more resources. Also increase 30 min exp buff from 30 mins to 1 hour since CW games are 25 mins. Lastly add the option to gamble castle war tickets for a chance to get sheep pet, or add chance to get sheep pet every game so that way castle wars can easily be integrated into alora events.
Is this in OSRS?: No, castle war reward shop will look diff than osrs rewards.
Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No
How would this benefit Alora?: Every single person that I have ragged to finally join me in castle wars all same the same thing - I cannot believe how much fun that actually was, and when can we do it again? Alora is focused around pvm grinds and such which is great, thats why we love alora! But.... we need something that is purely for fun that might help bring the community together more. I would suggest revamping castle wars in other ways as well to make this more accessible and easy to play. For example make a few presets that players can choose from kind of like LMS. Then there is no required gear set up and any combat level can participate. Lastly if not too much work add the castle wars portals to edgeville home near where the emblem trader is so people can easily walk into a game. Oh and maybe add global notifications for castle wars games. I know this might be a big ask for something as silly as castle wars but even if the bare minimum was updated I think more people would participate and it would be fun for everyone. Thanks for your time :)
***************EDITED WITH SPECIFIC ITEM SUGGESTIONS*****************
Here is my tentative list of suggested items to add to the revamped castle wars reward shop. I do not want to suggest prices for these yet but I do have rough estimates for what I think everything should cost.
My estimates are based on two things:
1) the cost of a vote book/points per book
2) the average amount of gp you could possibly attain per hour just doing slayer for casket drops. (I estimate around 30-50m/hr no donor status - could be wrong please feel free to correct me)
If it helps I will update this list with my suggested prices, however I would like to narrow down the list to what people actually want first. Please leave feedback with items on this list you dont want, items that aren't on this list and also suggested castle war ticket prices! Thanks everyone!
