Good event!

But isnt tomb of fire better than zenyte shard? so reward for 6-10 is actually better

I guess it depends on your perspective. An account needs to get 5 zenytes to complete a set including imbued suffering, whereas only one tome of fire is needed. I mostly just went off ::prices which we all know is pretty accurate. Don't worry, more Tomes of Fire to come!

Irons can pull a tome from hard clues but its still a decent grind for zennys.

Great event that I will take part in!

Only question would be why you determined to go for kill goals instead of point goals? It will put the players who run challenge mode raids at a disadvantage when going for placement since the raids take twice as long.

Only reason that comes to mind is that you lose points by dying, which will make it more difficult for newer players to reach/compete for placements.

They way the event system currently works, there can only be 3 types of goals: kills, damage, and drops. In the past, players have expressed a dislike for the drops goal. I am also not sure how well damage goals would work or if there would be some OP meta (like maybe allowing olm to heal itself repeatedly in final phase). So I decided to stick with kill goals.

Been a while since we had a good event

Can we not do any better on rewards? rune bars and superior bones?!

Thankful for a Cox event of course, but there's no value in grinding this event for high alcs.

you grind the event for purples, not the leaderboard rewards.

So first of all, these rewards are hardly alchables. Runite Bars are the best smithing xp and bones are best prayer xp. They will sell for at least mid-price, far more if you are patient.

Second, the total estimated value of items that will be spawned into the eco from this event is ~300B. I get that you guys want stuff like druidic sets, custom whips, and other end-game gear as rewards. However, I literally can not justify spawning in that amount of wealth. The boosted drop rates on these events alone account for a massive influx of wealth into the economy. The rewards from these events are supplemental to the main benefits.

If you have constructive and realistic feedback on what items to give for rewards, then I am all ears. The consensus when I have asked in the past has been to continue giving a mix of skilling, pvm, and pvp related items. So I will continue to rotate through those categories.
