All of the rare drops are worth good money and except of the mutagens they all have a good use in game.
Apart from the low drop chance this boss is one of the best we have.

I agree. Zulrah is a pretty easy boss to learn, especially on an RSPS. Correct me if I'm wrong but we can do way faster kills than on OSRS with all our custom shit and survive longer/easier with all the hp boosts and shit. If droprates were buffed it'd be "dat op moni snek gg eco".

Not sure how long Zulrah takes on OSRS but I sometimes do kills in 25-30 seconds. A drop rate buff is needed though, even if it's a small one. At the moment it's kinda sad to do 800-1k kills and not see a single rare drop.

I don't do lots of zulrah but if droprates on those rares would get buffed, wouldn't the prices for those items just drop? Can't sell a bp to people if they already have one yano

Price is most of the time decided by a combination of droprate/use. Cerberus boots all have stable prices and drop way more frequent than Zulrah drops.
I'm not saying the drop rate should be changed dramatically, just ever so slightly.

The rates on OS are 128, right? At 3x speed that translates to around 400. Ours are generally close to that but drops for us are slower on average. Also 80% of people don't have a chaos cape, so that 30 second mark isn't exactly realistic for the majority.

Well a time for your average player would be more like 2:30 with dhide and ahrims. Add zenytes and imbued heart and you are down to 1:30. add twisted bow and all max gear and you are down to sub 1:00

I don't think the fact that Drakes (and also Wyrms, they drop a shit ton too, at the same rates) drop a lot of one item is a bad thing, I think the item shouldn't be pure essence though. Maybe change it to runite ores and balance the amount dropped, or just any other skilling supply that isn't dropped frequently.

Edit: I don't know if it's included in the upcoming update, but Mystic (dusk) would also be a nice addition to both NPC's droptables, as this is one of the Brimstone chest drops.

@Pvm porn I know 25-30 is not the average time on kills. Like I said I sometimes get it in that time frame, meaning it would be my fastest kill. ON average I think I kill Zulrah in about 60-70 seconds. BP + Chaos comp + Pernix and ACB spec at start.
But yeah 800-900 kc dry of anything is super fun.
