I'd like to analyze some of the items in the Slayer shop. I want to hear thoughtout views on anything suggested. 
------------------
I see a lot of potential of the Slayer reward shop, but some of the items are really holding it back and feel very unrewarding to obtain and I'll list my idea


Salve Amulet:
A issue I see with the Salve amulet (albeit how strong it is), is it's heavy cost. Essentially, you're picking between an imbue scroll and the salve for 1,800 points. That's a heavy cost for grinding slayer for that item.

Salve (e) 1800 -> (suggestion: having an upgrade path for the item that uses it's own imbuement method for the final upgrade (ei)) 

Method:
Salve 400-800 -> Item to Imbue Salve(e) (Tarn's Diary?) 800-1200 -> Another item to imbue (which could be left using imbue scroll as a last option) to Salve (ei) the blue variant 1200-1400)

It ends up being the same at the end (actually slightly cheaper 3,600 vs 2,400 - 3,400), but the progression of accomplishing tasks might feel more impactful to the player experience.  You can have it cost the same (at the end), but the player will be able to obtain the item earlier on and upgrade it as they hang out and do more slayer.

The -'s indicate a variance between the two numbers, so anything inbetween is what I am suggesting.

From what I understand you can use an imbue scroll on Salve(e) to give it (ei) benefits, but not be the blue necklace?

V Shield:
V Shield 1500 -> 800-1000 (not a slight adjust, very niche item that is only a slight defensive/downgrade for mage/range upgrade)

Big issues I have with this item's cost is it's not really even a full upgrade and at 1,500 pts you're better off getting anything else 

The point cost could possibly be lower, but then you have the worry of being too easy to obtain.

Imbue Scroll:
Imbue -> 1800 -> ?? (probably leave it)
Pretty much leave it since it actually influences multiple items iirc. If someone could detail every item Imbue Scroll affects that would be very helpful. 

Magic Bow (i) Scroll:
Magic Bow (i) -> 550 -> 350-500 
Lower the cost of this scroll to promote more magic bow (i) users since I haven't seen any magic bow (i) users due to rune cbow for many tasks. 

Having more items to pick from as well could be something to be looked at too! Having a more diverse amount of items could subset the negatives of other items being the price they are.

It's a complicated suggestion as the economy is important to look at too for any additions or subtractions in price. 

I don't know everything, please discuss below I am not really looking for (support or no suppot) I am looking for a discussion about aspects of the game and ideas we can refine and come up with!  

Thank you for reading my topic, and have a wonderful day!    
oh... and stay really good looking.. !!

I definitely agree that with slayer points being alot harder to come by nowadays the items should have cost reductions, I've heard alot of the 40x players getting well into the 20-30m exp just for 2-3 imbues, let alone salve , cannon, herb sack, ect ect.

[Lunar Spell]

I can support this, slayer points aren't necessarily "hard" to get, but at the same time like Defiler said, nobody wants to spend countless hours just to achieve 1 or 2 small upgrades.

[skt faker]

Yeah I support this - a buff to V's shield could be good to make it worth its price.

@Defiler What do you think should be done?

@OCE Vajyena We should keep our views to not changing stats from the original game to maintain balance and prevent making poor game changing choices. What do you think we should do?

I'll reply when I log in again!

stay handsome guys!

Please read through and absorb the post, so we can have a discussion! Not every choice is the "right" choice, someone could have a much better idea in general or certain aspects.

@Handsome Man I believe the main issue here is the imbue scrolls (which is currently being suggested for for a change) I personally think the cost should be lowered by half considering how easy it is to imbue on osrs with nightmare zone. If you think about it, you need to imbue slayer helmet, salve ammy, berserker ring, archer ring, brimstone ring, all the other rings.. pkp is time consuming due to skotizo's 12 hour cooldown also and isnt safe for Hardcore ironman.

[Handsome Man]

@Defiler Some of those items have a very large impact compared to others. 

If you halfed it I would of imbued two to four of only a few items. Dag Rings(i) are a bonus, but not 100% needed to raid, the other's are important upgrades, but there's not really a progression which makes it feel stagnant and expensive.

If you halved the price of imbue scrolls it would inflate the economy and decrease the cost of the scrolls significantly. What do you do after you get those few items? I think right now the cost for certain upgrades are an issue, but lowering the imbue scroll price itself I don't think is a good solution either, because it affects multiple items.

Have possibly a new imbue scroll options?

We don't have NMZ. Unless it was implemented I don't think it's the best idea to essentially hurt anyone who has been participating in the system by halfing the cost of a item. A better change is an upgrade path or other items to buy that are useful too. 

I'm at 64 tasks and have accrued over 2,100 points. 
I am going for gp/hr vs pts/hr, but some tasks take less than 6 minutes to clear.

Several of the prices for items in the Slayer Shop were adjust in the recent update.

Your suggestion has been accepted.
