Can we add blighted teleport spell sacks to magic shop?

[Kaz]

Hello again Kaz,

If you refer to our conversation on your last thread regarding the BH Teleport Scroll, Bloodmoney can be obtained in a wide variety of ways, including PKing.

The reason the Blighted Teleport Sacks won't be added to the normal stores is for several reasons, here are a few:
- The sacks require a prerequisite (scroll) to be used for the tele to target.
- The sacks are one of the most sought after pk items, for ease of use amongst the spellbooks, putting a price on these isn't something I would consider as they would be north of 100k each.
- Certain items like the teleport sacks and scrolls which are pvp focused are locked behind pvp currency, it's just there are bonus ways to unlock this currency.


Comparing RSPS's to over 12 years ago when Battlescape had thousands of players, there are many factors of why this was the case, RSPS's are have evolved to focus on each of their owns stable playerbase, our focus have moved from a PvP orientated to drive more PvE & PvM compared to 2010-12 era. During these times there was also plenty of unlocks you had to grind for to achieve. We have in recent times dealt with the wilderness being highly active, you should have been here as I'm sure you would have enjoyed those months.

What about blighted teleport block sacks? Just to teleport block someone so they can't insta teleport? They currently do drop at rev caves when killing rev's but not as often as I'd hope for. I do see them for blood money in the BH shop, but didn't understand why not just have them in the magic shop with the other blighted magic sacks (ancients, entangle, etc, literally the only one missing from the magic shop is the blighted teleport block sacks which is very handy for PKing in the rare occasion of spotting someone deep enough in the wilderness. As well, the PVP community I believe is what thrives to make the server become larger, going from 250-290ish players at once to maybe even at-least 500+ in peak hours, which is why BS had the thousands of players back then. The majority was PKing which seemed to be like 24/7 haha.

PS: Thanks for the prompt response my brother.

You seem to not be getting that there is no such item as the "blighted teleport block sack", it is a multi-functional item in that it carried the runes required for both TB and BH Tele.

Battlescape had thousands of players because Runescape killed pvp and Battlescape catered to the void that had been made, this wasn't something that lasted. It's futile to try and compare the game to that of something over a decade old as not only has the core game changed, but the needs, wants and playerbase itself have moved on too.

PvP is not the be all and end all of any game, as mentioned we have had the server last year at 600+ daily for months during peak with a PvP focused & driven concept but it is not something that is sustainable due to the fast moving playerbase on rsps's.

You're right, it is called "blighted teleport spell sack" and honestly I didn't know it lets you also teleport to targets in BH / Wilderness. Nontheless; couldn't we add them into magic shop with the other blighted magic sacks, for coins? I like using them for PKing, but am running low so guess need to collect at revs for now, but would be cool to be able to buy bulk in the magic shop.

As discussed in the thread: No, these will not be added to other stores in exchange for coins.
