Currently Blisterwood Flail is only obtained from pyramid plunder minigame, at a 1/1000 drop rate from golden chest/sarcophagus. It's used for a clue step (similar to silver sickle, which is available in vote point shop).

My suggestion is we add some other way to get the flail: either add it to the daily task, vote point or loyalty point shop.

Don't think its needed to be added to vote shop, its pretty easy to obtain since u only have to loot 2 chests per room...

I got mine after 40 runs..

 

I do think the item should be added to "lost item manager"

1/1000 drop in 80 attempts is extremely lucky. Big support for this suggestion.

[Gimslaving]

I don't support adding it to any shop, but a slight NERF to drop rate within pyramid plunder would be appreciated.

 

I'll remain Neutral for now.

No support from me. Doesnt take long to get

Way to long of a grind for such a useless item on a private server lol. I support nerfing the drop rate to like a 1/300 but the shops work fine too.



For those not supporting since they got it in 100 chests. Imagine going twice the dr and getting it at 2k lol just for that 1 step.

No support.  I did pyramid plunder for the ivandis flail on Real Alan and on Real Anal.

I did not get lucky like some you guys *cough* @Memento Mori *cough* and had to do a few thousand pyramid plunder runs. 

 

From the pyramid plunder runs, I learned a few things.

 

1. When hunting flail, only loot chest and sarcophagus on the first level.  Exit.  Repeat.

Since the rate is 1/1000 for any chest or sarcophagus, its not worth spending your time looking for a 1/5 passage to the next level.

You can just take the 1/1 exit and re-enter level 1. 

 

2. A pyramid plunder lap counter would be very much appreciated.  When you have shit RNG like me, the counter helps a lot to keep you motivated.

 

3. Wear a serpentine helm and max mage to barrage the mummies that spawn from sarcophagus.

They have a 1/16 drop chance of papyrus, which is used to make a pet list in your PoH.  (I was never lucky enough to obtain papyrus)

 

 

 

4. The flail drop rate is 1/1000, which I would support buffing (not nerfing).  @Extremedanny

Nerfing = reducing the drop rate

Buffing = buffing the drop rate 

 

I think it's important we do not get this mixed up.

Man i hate spoons, anyway i think i agree with slaving to lower the DR for it, personally i think its not fitting in a store.

After my first flail i'm like 300 dry for second one, whip is just as good.

 

Also 40 runs x9 rooms x2 chests to open its not i did like 40 chests.

[strudelle]

i did not try to get this item yet but yes maybe the drop rate of 1/1000 is a bit to much and can be changed.

imo i dont think it should be added to any store but only changing the drop rate could help alot.

This Item is a Quest item in OSRS that is easy to obtain.. I honestly don't think any simple quest item thats in OSRS should be hard to get, Just add it to vote shop, daily or even loyalty shop.. hell a new item in loyalty shop would be cool to have, It's been years since anything has been added to it. Plus You already have to spend a Crazy amount of Vote points to Obtain a Silver Sickle (B

[I Must Fail]

My initial thought on this was yes, let's add it to a shop.

 

HOWEVER, after reading the other comments, I see different perspectives. 

 

Since you can get this as a reward from any chest in PP, I think maybe buffing the table SLIGHTLY would suffice.

Also, getting a flail on chest #40 is just extremely lucky, not an accurate depiction of the actual rate to obtain this item.

I think it should be left as a reward from pyramid plunder, otherwise that just becomes entirely dead content most likely. However, I do support an increase to the drop rate, and a "lap counter", if possible, as Slaving and Alan mentioned. 

 

Thought, thinking about it, not sure how you could implement a lap counter if the meta is currently just searching the first floor only. Maybe some kind of "search" counter that sums all opens from all rooms.
