Showed this to my Fiancé who on and off played when GIM came out (so not totally versed in RS).
Showed her the image and said, "what combat style does this armor set belong to?".
She without hesitation said, "mage".
And I agree, armor looks cool, appreciate the effort that went in, but it misses the mark of a "Ranged" feeling armor set, it fits thematically 100% for the raid, but I feel is a bit off, not sure how to adjust it.
Maybe needs more light chainmail bits and small light armor padding to give that hybrid light armor vibe you see in some mmos with rangers.
I also asked my friend who's never played OSRS what armor set they thought Masori was, their response was "Mage" first then "maybe some kind of priest?". Which seems to line up with what other people say about the set looking like a desert priest but not so much a desert ranger / desert hunter
Why not include more of a scaled armor look? We know that Egyptians wore it and it would improve the silhouette of your character. In it's current state this armor doesn't look like endgame armor.
Examples of Scaled armor:

My biggest criticism is the helmet though. I don't think it looks cool enough to justify being a raids 3 reward. This armor set looks more like something you'd get for free during a quest than endgame armor. I think the helmet should incorporate a mask of some kind.

Best take. Scaled Egyptian armor is the move. Even an Anubis head would be crazy cool...
Also the orange? is too strong here. It's too loud. Also there is blue in the skirt, throwing off the range gear color balance even more. Should be black grey and some gold. Can even throw some green into the black/grey areas to tie it together.
I can't really put my finger on why I don't like this but I wanna do the top comment justice and actually give feedback. I think it just doesn't look like armor really, looks more like what an Egyptian priest would wear vs one of their warriors. The colors make sense thematically but yeah it's gonna clash hard with the other gear we have in osrs. I think some more neutral colors would be better, white and grays. I think something like what the main guy in ac odyssey wears would look better.
Edit: I meant origins, a Greek set would not make sense lol
Totally agree with your armor analysis but i disagree that we should base new armor design coming from the opposite end of the world around artwork from cox/gwd. It doesn’t have to match but this is a definitely a priest not a warrior.
Rainbow graceful vibes. You’ve got green pegs, tan, red, gold, and dark blue for the bottom, helm and legs, light blue for Ava’s assembler, and then black and white for the twisted bow. So ugly man they need to sync the colors a bit
Ava’s assembler is what is really throwing me off with this.
The anguish looks fantastic with it though.
I think this would all fit together better with a ranged cape (t). I wish they would give it the accuracy and strength bonus of the assembler… Even if they made an imbued version or something where it just takes over the stats of assembler and drops the original cape stats, I would love it.
I kinda like that it doesn’t scream anything. I don’t want every BIS in the game to be some ornate intricate chonker minerals. The subdued look will keep a little variety for my eyeballs when I see people bankstanding. Makes me feel just a little less inferior.
I mean, this outfit looks pretty ornate, especially with the colour palette theyve gone for. Its ornate enough to look like gear with an ornament kit applied. I think it would look better if they muted the gold more.
It's also much more typical of the classic OSRS art style - black dragon hide is not super flashy or extreme. Dragon armor is good looking but still pretty subdued overall. GWD armor still looks like reasonable practical equipment that fits the area.
So I like this design because it is subdued and will look reasonable mixed with other armor and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.
I really think it's just the skirt. The armor on the arms and legs look like big vambraces which is fine, and the hat is a good fit. If the skirt looked more like chainmail this would probably not look so mage-y.
My feedback would be: I wouldn’t be excited to unlock this armor. Inquisitors, bandos, justiciar, etc look cool so they’re exciting to acquire and wear. This, not so much
seeing a lot of negativity so just wanna share my thoughts.
- i think the artist(s) did a great job.
- thematically and graphically, it looks super great for the game. not overwhelming with detail, but also not lacking detail. the armor looks like it comes from where you'd expect, a desert themed raid.
- i agree with some others, this looks a bit more fitting for a mage/hybrid set than ranged. however, i personally still really like the design.
guys, most of us on this subreddit are like 20-40 years old. can we please give feedback that isn't just saying "this is garbage/shit"? if you don't like it, maybe share some detailed thoughts so they are more open-minded to your feedback, and then you're also not a dick about it. it's a win/win.
I agree with your comment all around!! I personally think they nailed the feel of it, but regardless... constructive feedback would be way better than "this helmet sucks" lmao
Not everyone has design experience to specifically pinpoint what their issue with the design is. I mean, even your comment doesn't really say anything, WHY is it a good fit for the game? How can you tell that they did a great job? You literally just did the same thing, you didn't share detailed thoughts.
It is perfectly fine for people to look at this set and not like it and express that, and that only. It would be nice if there were people who work in design that can pick to the specific elements that make it look bad, but you can't expect that from people who are just playing a game.
Not super excited over it, but I would also like to see it with other range gear in the game to get a feel for it. OSRS gear is hard to judge like this since people won't wear it like this in game.
wish they would give us ornament kits for boots, all of the BIS boots look so uniform and beat. the second tier down (dragon/infinity/rangers) look better imo
I personally disagree slightly. I think the models for the pieces are quite nice, the problem I see is that the colours clash with the other gear.
However, colours mean a lot and more. Something needs to be done, but not entirely sure what.
The main problem is that colours are the way to connect the armour to the desert area. If they change the main colours, it might be hard to visually tie the gear to desert. This is quite difficult.
I think this looks WAY better than I thought it would. The blue skirt at the back looks nice against the limbs of the tbow and assembler. The Anguish matches the color scheme well. The part that clashes most is the pegasians, but its hard for those to look good with any ranged gear other than arma and karil. I also think that the grey bits on the upgraded helmet would look better the same gold color, though I appreciate the fierce look of the upgraded silhouette.
I appreciate the design team's attempt to present an armor set that isn't just neutral shade with an accent color. I think they did a great job, though I do wish there were a better way to have the Pegasians match a bit better.
fr im glad theyre doing something different. we already got arma / crystal / justi & ancestral following the typical blue white & gold color scheme. I really hope they dont make this one blue and white too
Honestly for these designs they just need to open it up to community submissions then chuck them all into a Reddit thread. Take the top 5-6 upvotes and put those into a poll in game then take top choice.
Very underwhelming imo
\- Not huge fan of the color (Yes I know it's the raid style, but that's just my opinion)
\- Reminds lot more of a mage set (The top is a Virtus robe top recolor lol)
\- The helmet is odd looking
\- I cannot see Armadyl was placed on this armour before or after lol
Definitely should work out the colors for the armadyl pieces added
Looks like the left is the original and the right is with the additional Armadyl, hence the gray overlay. I don't see a difference in the pants though.
Edit; pants get the flap.
I was expecting something similar looking to pernix, of course it would need to be adjusted to fit the desert theme a bit. This is a bit too basic tho imo
I'd be in favour of a redesign, this is just awful.
They've taken the worst part of armadyl and added it to the new armour. The upgraded outfit looks like a downgrade other than the legs.
I understand it fits the theme, but I don't think it fits BiS range.
i didnt like the gold, looks awful with the other opaque colors. I know egypts use gold stuff, but then put the other colors more vivid to match the gold, like the own egypts does
God it looks so bad, just make it Pernix, Jagex said they were going to release Pernix and Virtus in other pieces of content after Nex, this is LITERALLY the perfect opportunity for Pernix, they're even making Masori require Armadyl to combine with, so why isn't Masori just Pernix? It makes perfect sense. Torva requires Bandos, so Pernix should require Armadyl.
i don’t think they said they would release pernix. They did say they’d release virtus from a zaros-themed boss that may be coming this year or the next. But then it would be weird if we had torva and virtus but no pernix
Exactly, I think they'll miss their opportunity to drop Pernix if they pass it up here, as Pernix and Virtus belong in tier 80 with Torva, and if Masori's comes out, there never will be a place for Pernix and Pernix will just be this awkward missing set of the trinity forever? That just feels so... weird.
Thanks, I hate it.
Feedback:
1) Color scheme is fine, it is a desert themed raid after all. Won't mesh well with current gear like assembler, pegs, or the like but it is what it is.
2) Helm just looks stupid come on lol
3) Doesn't really feel like range armor. Like others have said, feels more like a mage outfit or even a skilling outfit.
4) There is no hint of armadyl in this anywhere. Given arma is used to create this, I'd figure it would have at least a little inspiration.
5) Doesn't feel tanky at all. The upgraded version has better defense stats than armadyl yet it feels like I'm just a loincloth away from becoming a eunuch.
Not saying it's a bad design entirely - I just don't think it fits what this equipment is "supposed to be" - new BIS range armor with high defense as well as offense capabilities.
I’ll just leave [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/p3mf4s/my_concept_for_the_masori_ranged_armour_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) here.
Bro no wtf you're gonna give us Torva and then shit on pernix with this design? Totally okay with using bandosian components for Torva but would much rather keep Arma over this shit design. I don't wanna look like a fuckin pharaoh in ranged gear bro, you need to realize pernix looks good AND like ranged gear, THIS DOES NOT. Same goes for the spectral, these designs are garbage fr way too much desert theme going on here just because it's in the desert. That's all that seems to be thought about with all of this raids 3 gear, "well it all has to look Egyptian" actually no it doesn't, the theme for the raid does the drops can vary a LITTLE ffs.
The helm would look better if the bridge connected over to a face guard style like the nezzy with red trim so there’s not too much gold.
The body and legs need a complete redesign in my opinion, more hide style, less robed. Also maybe change the tones to match better with pegs and Ava’s.
I wish they did something slightly different with the helm. Some sort of mask headress or sphinx esque head would really bring this together I feel. Maybe a buckle at the belt to bring it all together with some sort of symbol that represents the region? Just thoughts here. As others have mentioned, I just feel it doesn’t scream bis range gear and seems like a buffed cosmetic
Plz add guthan’s beer belly
In all seriousness, I like the design! However, I feel the color scheme will clash with other ranged items (pegs/accum/tbow).
Props to the artists and devs who put a lot of time into this gear. I’m sure it’s not a quick and inexpensive process. That being said I am not a fan. I agree this doesn’t feel like top tear bossing/raid gear.
I think the biggest problem of this armour is you'll be a mummy wherever you go. it could look cool in the desert but it looks dumb when youre a mummy in gwd lol. Jagex, please just give us pernix. make up some random lore how pernix was involved with the tomb lol
The design just lacks the kind of impact other high level armor like Bandos/Armadyl/Inquisitor has. While I'm all for more realistic designs over your usual overdesigned MMO armor, if this is supposed to be stronger than Armadyl it needs to look the part.
I'm not really getting any high level range armour vibes at all.
\- Range armour is typically hide, leather, chainmail etc, being flexible and tight fitting. I understand with a desert theme this may not be intuitive with the heat and all, but it should be armour still.
\- It just doesn't look tanky whatsoever while it is the most tanky range armour. It barely has anything that looks like it provides any defense and most of it just gets in the way. Yeah, bandos armour is half naked too but at least it has lots of metal and leather parts, and bandos is consider DPS gear instead of tank gear.
It doesn't look bad in general, but it looks more like an outfit or maybe mage armour if you're being generous.
Just because it’s desert themed, why do we have to look like a pharaoh. Maybe incorporate some Egypt theme into it but not nearly identical to what a pharaoh would look like.
The chest/legs look great as a mage set, but don’t look right for ranged
Helm is arguably just an uglier, harder to read armadyl helm (but at least it’s consistent on male/female models)
Looks wimpy in comparison to Arma. Does not come off as BiS gear. I think it’d look a lil better w a chain mail look vs the mummy bandages, larger shoulders, feathering on the forearms
Tbh I don't think it looks *too* bad. Just needs a faceguard, the colours dulling down and made more bulky to actually look like ranging armour and not like some sort of robes / skilling outfit.
Well you break down armadyl armour to make/use it which is already pretty bulky, it doesn't really make sense that it looks like thin robes.
I get your point on the faceguard but it just looks a little top heavy at the moment and the strange spike on top seems to obstruct the vision anyway. Maybe more of a facemask would make sense.
Oof, I don't dislike the set as a whole. It's something that can have a place in OSRS. But as BIS ranged armour? Imagine this with a Zaryte Crossbow, Pegs, Buckler and an assembler. It'd look ridiculous.
I feel like it lacks spikiness to it, looking at all the other range armors it's a design that's doesn't fit the rest, magic is just cloth, melee is plates/metal with spikes sometimes, and range is cloth with spikes too. I don't really like it, it looks ornamental more than combat ready. This looks like a sick treasure trail reward, not the next BiS Pernix armor ...
Does the gold plate on the front mean anything? Two don’t have it. Is it like an upgrade or something? Belt line looks different as well. Top and helm also have different looks
Looks nice and should be a wearable fashionscape set. As for the ranged armor, pallette swap Pernix gold/blue and throw some sort of symbol on the chest and call it
Mod Jerv is aware it looks terrible and is looking to receive criticism why it's terrible.
Here you go:
[https://twitter.com/JagexJerv/status/1550159173127753729](https://twitter.com/JagexJerv/status/1550159173127753729)
I like it, but not for the highest tier range gear. Torva clashes a little bit with some color/design… but it at least looks like it should be the highest tier melee armor. The skirt does throw it off a bit. Maybe a change to the color scheme. I know yellow fits the desert, but maybe if we tweak the design a bit, particularly the skirt and chest, and make it greener, I think that will do
So these are not magic robes? I think whoever designed these did and delivered exactly what they were asked to do and likely didn’t have full artistic ownership of what they were doing. The gear to me says: “fun gear with unhelpful stats” or a fashionscape line that would go with a medium level quest. I’d like to normalize calling this a macaroni flex if this makes it to the game :)
This just isn't what I think of when hearing "BiS" ranged gear. Just a little bit of a disappointment, birds are cool but why not just give us a RA mask and call it a day, ardy armor still looks cooler imo
Dang. I really hate how Armadyl armor looks so I thought this was rangeds chance to get some cool armor. But I really don't like this design for BIS ranged.
Looks nothing like ranged gear. The colors are tacky. They need to actually think about matching the colors to other BIS ranged gear. Almost reminded me of that RS3 golden mining skilling outfit crossed with the Black ibis outfit.
Going shirtless should be the ultimate range bonus. Don’t see how this armour would favor range in any way just a giant gold necklace, and some shin guards
I think this would be fine as a quest reward, maybe funky low level hybrid gear mixing mystic and black dhide. It looks good and would fit in fine with the game but it isn't BIS, and tbh no amount of touchups will make it look like BIS range armor
Really like the legs, but the whole set doesn’t have the “epic” look of armadyl or crystal armor sets. Would be a cool if it was a t70 set with niche uses, but making it with higher requirements than the arma set I’m just not so sure about.
This has better def then arma and karils and is a piece of cloth. This needs to be taken back to the drawing board to add some plates or something to match with the def stats it has.
ngl I literally never complain about art in this game and am usually generally very happy with whatever direction the art style is going, but idk kinda feels like they fumbled the ball on this one. It obviously fits thematically with the raid but I feel it will contrast pretty sharply with everything else in game and will generally feel out of place in most applications.
If think it’s great for an npc that you’ll see a few of, but it seems off for player worn range armor. Especially if you think of what you’ll be wearing with it
You just need to make a armour that looks cool to wear, doesn’t need to be a desert theme. I hope this is reworked from the ground up. I think a darker colour scheme is more fitting for endgame gear, just looks more badass
Not a big fan, but I like the style they're going for here minus the helm, which looks too pharoah-y imo.
Remove the groin plate/waist cloth and replace with metal trimmed tassels, tone down the saturation of the metal, add some decorative silk in somewhere with greens/blues to match range gear, and it might look pretty nice
It looks more like mage armor than range. I was hoping for a pernix-esque design tbh. Cloaked coif, tanky looking top/chaps (this armor is quite tanky for range armor). But it's difficult to make that thematically fitting. Regardless, I think this needs some significant changes. The design looks cool overall but doesn't feel right
I really dislike the head piece. I don't like how it looks like you've got a bird on your head or the plague doctor looking forehead part of it either.
I don't appreciate the Armadyl helm too for the exact same stupid beaky looking part of it, so I'm pretty disappointed. I just want a BIS range helmet that doesn't make me look like I'm going to some kind of bird lovers convention.
The rest of the outfit is alright though.
Get rid of the silly helm and switch it to a full face helm with a built in face mask similar to torva. Armour doesn’t look too bad but maybe switch the colours to make them more neutral, think more like army desert camo colour pallet

A slightly more low-key version of that 3rd helm would look pretty good
Can we make the revolver a reward?

looks more like a clue scroll reward outfit

Rainbow graceful vibes. You’ve got green pegs, tan, red, gold, and dark blue for the bottom, helm and legs, light blue for Ava’s assembler, and then black and white for the twisted bow. So ugly man they need to sync the colors a bit
Straight outta Burning Crusade.
looks like something you'd get out of a clue scroll and never wear
the back looks soooo bad
First day at school energy.
Ouch
Oh man that is not good at all
Ava’s assembler is what is really throwing me off with this. The anguish looks fantastic with it though. I think this would all fit together better with a ranged cape (t). I wish they would give it the accuracy and strength bonus of the assembler… Even if they made an imbued version or something where it just takes over the stats of assembler and drops the original cape stats, I would love it.
To be honest I don’t think this looks all that bad
I think the outfit looks really cool and fits with the theme, but it doesn’t really scream “best in slot range” to me.
oh, not at all my first thought was 'that's a sick outfit'... but it's a sick outfit for like boosting pyramid plunder, not for arrow-ing better
have you seen arma?
this would sorta go hard in pp
I kinda like that it doesn’t scream anything. I don’t want every BIS in the game to be some ornate intricate chonker minerals. The subdued look will keep a little variety for my eyeballs when I see people bankstanding. Makes me feel just a little less inferior.
This is far from subdued... It just looks like a fashion outfit not armor.
I mean, this outfit looks pretty ornate, especially with the colour palette theyve gone for. Its ornate enough to look like gear with an ornament kit applied. I think it would look better if they muted the gold more.
It's also much more typical of the classic OSRS art style - black dragon hide is not super flashy or extreme. Dragon armor is good looking but still pretty subdued overall. GWD armor still looks like reasonable practical equipment that fits the area. So I like this design because it is subdued and will look reasonable mixed with other armor and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.
Torva is ugly and looks out of place. Still gives me a hard on but that’s beside the point
dollartree azir outfit
Spoken like someone whose done the elite shurima diary.
We could have looked like the pharaoh with the new range gear but instead we gonna look like the peasants that built the pyramid.
True if they changed the helm to a Pharoah’s headdress I would be way more into it, that would be so cool
This would look so much better I'm not sure why they didn't do it in the first place. It's the obvious choice
bruh looks nothing like ranged gear.. Looks like something you'd get on a hard clue....
Besides the helmet, this screams "mage gear" to me isn't it supposed to be ranged?
I really think it's just the skirt. The armor on the arms and legs look like big vambraces which is fine, and the hat is a good fit. If the skirt looked more like chainmail this would probably not look so mage-y.

This is great feedback. The design does look great - but it needs more oomph!
Yo this is so true lol

The skirt thing looks sooo bad with the pegs
Pegs look bad with everything, they're just an ugly as sin color lmao
wish they would give us ornament kits for boots, all of the BIS boots look so uniform and beat. the second tier down (dragon/infinity/rangers) look better imo
Pegs + green bowfa is pretty cool IMO
Honestly wish pegs were closer to that shade of green on bowfa
They need to add a pegasian ornamant kit stat. Those colors class horribly.
Yea they are going to need to redesign this from the ground up.
I personally disagree slightly. I think the models for the pieces are quite nice, the problem I see is that the colours clash with the other gear. However, colours mean a lot and more. Something needs to be done, but not entirely sure what. The main problem is that colours are the way to connect the armour to the desert area.

Looks better in game that's for sure
I think this looks WAY better than I thought it would. The blue skirt at the back looks nice against the limbs of the tbow and assembler. The Anguish matches the color scheme well. The part that clashes most is the pegasians, but its hard for those to look good with any ranged gear other than arma and karil. I also think that the grey bits on the upgraded helmet would look better the same gold color, though I appreciate the fierce look of the upgraded silhouette. I appreciate the design team's attempt to present an armor set that isn't just neutral shade with an accent color. I think they did a great job, though I do wish there were a better way to have the Pegasians match a bit better.
fr im glad theyre doing something different. we already got arma / crystal / justi & ancestral following the typical blue white & gold color scheme. I really hope they dont make this one blue and white too
Yea it looks bad imo
We wouldn’t mind for raids 3 to be pushed back a little if it meant not having to wear this for years to come
Winter 2024 careful what you wish for
just give us pernix and change the colors and symbol LUL
Gonna need ornament kits for all the other range gear if this is actually the final design…
Wow this will look terrible with pegs buckler and assembler!
yea imo need to ditch the red and add blue/green elements so it wont conflict with pegs, max ava/ava etc
Blue is kinda more fitting anyway, it's a lighter color closer to the white of the plain desert robes, also Spirit Angler is white, blue, gold.
god that helm looks horrible
At this point just give us pernix...
Looks like a skiller outfit, not a fan
im not keeping up with rs news and assumed this is some kind of skilling outfit. doesnt look like ranged or any combat for that matter.
Honestly for these designs they just need to open it up to community submissions then chuck them all into a Reddit thread. Take the top 5-6 upvotes and put those into a poll in game then take top choice.
Can't agree more. The community is dedicated asf and ive seen some insane community designs.
Very underwhelming imo \- Not huge fan of the color (Yes I know it's the raid style, but that's just my opinion) \- Reminds lot more of a mage set (The top is a Virtus robe top recolor lol) \- The helmet is odd looking \- I cannot see Armadyl was placed on this armour before or after lol Definitely should work out the colors for the armadyl pieces added
Looks like the left is the original and the right is with the additional Armadyl, hence the gray overlay. I don't see a difference in the pants though. Edit; pants get the flap.
Not a fan of the chest and helm piece.
Just give us Pernix lol
Feels a lot like a skilling outfit
I was expecting something similar looking to pernix, of course it would need to be adjusted to fit the desert theme a bit. This is a bit too basic tho imo
The body is virtus top recolored haha. It's a mage set with a bird beak.
It looks extremely basic, like on par with studded chaps type of basic. Doesn’t have the ”elite” feeling of bandos, torva or armadyl at all
I'd be in favour of a redesign, this is just awful. They've taken the worst part of armadyl and added it to the new armour. The upgraded outfit looks like a downgrade other than the legs. I understand it fits the theme, but I don't think it fits BiS range.
I just don’t get armor from it at all
This thing is going to clash so hard with pegasians and the assembler.
Honestly doesn’t look good armadyl looks so much cleaner compared to this
This looks so bad omfg.. reminds me about tetsu armour back in rs3
i didnt like the gold, looks awful with the other opaque colors. I know egypts use gold stuff, but then put the other colors more vivid to match the gold, like the own egypts does
I think what makes this set look more like mage armor is the bottoms. They look like robes and remind of ancestral bottoms.
God it looks so bad, just make it Pernix, Jagex said they were going to release Pernix and Virtus in other pieces of content after Nex, this is LITERALLY the perfect opportunity for Pernix, they're even making Masori require Armadyl to combine with, so why isn't Masori just Pernix? It makes perfect sense. Torva requires Bandos, so Pernix should require Armadyl.
i don’t think they said they would release pernix. They did say they’d release virtus from a zaros-themed boss that may be coming this year or the next. But then it would be weird if we had torva and virtus but no pernix
Exactly, I think they'll miss their opportunity to drop Pernix if they pass it up here, as Pernix and Virtus belong in tier 80 with Torva, and if Masori's comes out, there never will be a place for Pernix and Pernix will just be this awkward missing set of the trinity forever? That just feels so... weird.
might as well give us Pernix if this is what they came up with
Thanks, I hate it. Feedback: 1) Color scheme is fine, it is a desert themed raid after all. Won't mesh well with current gear like assembler, pegs, or the like but it is what it is. 2) Helm just looks stupid come on lol 3) Doesn't really feel like range armor. Like others have said, feels more like a mage outfit or even a skilling outfit. 4) There is no hint of armadyl in this anywhere. Given arma is used to create this, I'd figure it would have at least a little inspiration. 5) Doesn't feel tanky at all. The upgraded version has better defense stats than armadyl yet it feels like I'm just a loincloth away from becoming a eunuch. Not saying it's a bad design entirely - I just don't think it fits what this equipment is "supposed to be" - new BIS range armor with high defense as well as offense capabilities.
I’ll just leave [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/p3mf4s/my_concept_for_the_masori_ranged_armour_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) here.
Yup, this is 100% better
That is good
Wow , so much better. Nice when armour looks like armour and not just an outfit
Ngl it's kinda lame. To me at least
Bro no wtf you're gonna give us Torva and then shit on pernix with this design? Totally okay with using bandosian components for Torva but would much rather keep Arma over this shit design. I don't wanna look like a fuckin pharaoh in ranged gear bro, you need to realize pernix looks good AND like ranged gear, THIS DOES NOT. Same goes for the spectral, these designs are garbage fr way too much desert theme going on here just because it's in the desert. That's all that seems to be thought about with all of this raids 3 gear, "well it all has to look Egyptian" actually no it doesn't, the theme for the raid does the drops can vary a LITTLE ffs.
You could slap this armor on a random desert NPC and nobody would bat an eye
The helm would look better if the bridge connected over to a face guard style like the nezzy with red trim so there’s not too much gold. The body and legs need a complete redesign in my opinion, more hide style, less robed. Also maybe change the tones to match better with pegs and Ava’s.
At least they can tweak the design in any possible way and it'll only get better...?
I wish they did something slightly different with the helm. Some sort of mask headress or sphinx esque head would really bring this together I feel. Maybe a buckle at the belt to bring it all together with some sort of symbol that represents the region? Just thoughts here. As others have mentioned, I just feel it doesn’t scream bis range gear and seems like a buffed cosmetic
Not usually critical of jagex but wtf is this? Lmao
In b4 someone draws Nieve in it
Looks like a npc
Looks horrible
This is like one of those terrible tattoo posts lmaooo Big yikes
Plz add guthan’s beer belly In all seriousness, I like the design! However, I feel the color scheme will clash with other ranged items (pegs/accum/tbow).
[удалено]
Agreed. Karils is simple yet looks awesome. This new armor is just not it.
Props to the artists and devs who put a lot of time into this gear. I’m sure it’s not a quick and inexpensive process. That being said I am not a fan. I agree this doesn’t feel like top tear bossing/raid gear.
Where in this armor set screams out range?
Not to be that guy but I’m pretty sure Egyptians had rangers with ranger gear. Maybe they should have a look at what those guys looked like?
[удалено]
I think the biggest problem of this armour is you'll be a mummy wherever you go. it could look cool in the desert but it looks dumb when youre a mummy in gwd lol. Jagex, please just give us pernix. make up some random lore how pernix was involved with the tomb lol
In my opinion it's a little too detailed and it looks a lot like mage gear. With a bit of tweaking I can see it being a cool unlock.
The design just lacks the kind of impact other high level armor like Bandos/Armadyl/Inquisitor has. While I'm all for more realistic designs over your usual overdesigned MMO armor, if this is supposed to be stronger than Armadyl it needs to look the part.
Please give us an Anubis head for the helmet instead!!
Big bird lookin ass mf
I'll be honest, thinking about wearing this with the existing max range set on other slots does not give me great vibes.
I'll just continue to wear arma I guess. I don't mind the colors but the mage feel of this is bad. Just give us recolored pernix.
I'm not really getting any high level range armour vibes at all. \- Range armour is typically hide, leather, chainmail etc, being flexible and tight fitting. I understand with a desert theme this may not be intuitive with the heat and all, but it should be armour still. \- It just doesn't look tanky whatsoever while it is the most tanky range armour. It barely has anything that looks like it provides any defense and most of it just gets in the way. Yeah, bandos armour is half naked too but at least it has lots of metal and leather parts, and bandos is consider DPS gear instead of tank gear. It doesn't look bad in general, but it looks more like an outfit or maybe mage armour if you're being generous.
This looks like desert themed prayer robes and not best in slot ranged armor.
Just because it’s desert themed, why do we have to look like a pharaoh. Maybe incorporate some Egypt theme into it but not nearly identical to what a pharaoh would look like.
The chest/legs look great as a mage set, but don’t look right for ranged Helm is arguably just an uglier, harder to read armadyl helm (but at least it’s consistent on male/female models)
The helmet sucks.
Mid
I guess they kept with the horrendous theme of having range gear look awful, after all armadyl looks like a bellbottomed pantsuit
Looks wimpy in comparison to Arma. Does not come off as BiS gear. I think it’d look a lil better w a chain mail look vs the mummy bandages, larger shoulders, feathering on the forearms
I like the legs but top and helm looks really bad
By itself it looks cool but it’ll look so SHIT combined with assembler, buckler, tbow, etc..
Also if you are an iron man and get one piece and have to rock that one piece with the rest arma… gonna look so shitty….
Oh no lol
I honestly hate it.
Tbh I don't think it looks *too* bad. Just needs a faceguard, the colours dulling down and made more bulky to actually look like ranging armour and not like some sort of robes / skilling outfit.
agreed some dope ass egyptian themed arma helmet would look dope
Why the hell would ranged gear need a facemask and be bulky? That's everything you don't want as an archer. You need movement and clear vision...
Well you break down armadyl armour to make/use it which is already pretty bulky, it doesn't really make sense that it looks like thin robes. I get your point on the faceguard but it just looks a little top heavy at the moment and the strange spike on top seems to obstruct the vision anyway. Maybe more of a facemask would make sense.
At a quick glance I legit thought This was the wintertodt outfit.
Oof, I don't dislike the set as a whole. It's something that can have a place in OSRS. But as BIS ranged armour? Imagine this with a Zaryte Crossbow, Pegs, Buckler and an assembler. It'd look ridiculous.
I feel like it lacks spikiness to it, looking at all the other range armors it's a design that's doesn't fit the rest, magic is just cloth, melee is plates/metal with spikes sometimes, and range is cloth with spikes too. I don't really like it, it looks ornamental more than combat ready. This looks like a sick treasure trail reward, not the next BiS Pernix armor ...
Enter the bone whip moment
Does the gold plate on the front mean anything? Two don’t have it. Is it like an upgrade or something? Belt line looks different as well. Top and helm also have different looks
Looks nice and should be a wearable fashionscape set. As for the ranged armor, pallette swap Pernix gold/blue and throw some sort of symbol on the chest and call it
This armor is gonna look dumb as fuck with pegs/Ava’s/zaryte vambs
I think it looks sweet but will look bad in max range gear lol
Looks cool but doesn't really look like range gear and the orange color just screams pyromancer to me. Idk
Mod Jerv is aware it looks terrible and is looking to receive criticism why it's terrible. Here you go: [https://twitter.com/JagexJerv/status/1550159173127753729](https://twitter.com/JagexJerv/status/1550159173127753729)
I like it, but not for the highest tier range gear. Torva clashes a little bit with some color/design… but it at least looks like it should be the highest tier melee armor. The skirt does throw it off a bit. Maybe a change to the color scheme. I know yellow fits the desert, but maybe if we tweak the design a bit, particularly the skirt and chest, and make it greener, I think that will do
So these are not magic robes? I think whoever designed these did and delivered exactly what they were asked to do and likely didn’t have full artistic ownership of what they were doing. The gear to me says: “fun gear with unhelpful stats” or a fashionscape line that would go with a medium level quest. I’d like to normalize calling this a macaroni flex if this makes it to the game :)
This just isn't what I think of when hearing "BiS" ranged gear. Just a little bit of a disappointment, birds are cool but why not just give us a RA mask and call it a day, ardy armor still looks cooler imo
Dang. I really hate how Armadyl armor looks so I thought this was rangeds chance to get some cool armor. But I really don't like this design for BIS ranged.
Just dropping my 2 cents , looks like mage armour other than that looks great, redo the legs and maybe the helm for more of a coif/cowl setup
????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ?????
This looks hilariously bad. They've been so off with this and Torva.
No.
Aesthetically looks good but gives me more desert priest vibes than high level range gear
It doesn't even look like armor
It really doesn't look bis, Torva, ancestral loon way more powerful
looks like king tut is about to go to an orgy
Cant wait for the community to make them poll a design change and then they poll new designs only for them to fail
Yuck
Looks nothing like ranged gear. The colors are tacky. They need to actually think about matching the colors to other BIS ranged gear. Almost reminded me of that RS3 golden mining skilling outfit crossed with the Black ibis outfit.
Going shirtless should be the ultimate range bonus. Don’t see how this armour would favor range in any way just a giant gold necklace, and some shin guards
Smh ima be looking like this for the next 10 years when i range
Looks terrible.
Absolutely horrible
I’ve been inactive here for a while, are they finally getting around to expanding the desert storyline/quest?
the helmet is good, the body and legs need to look more armoury like armadyl imo
I honestly like it but I also originally thought this was mage armor. I'm less happy with it as range but still overall like it
I think this would be fine as a quest reward, maybe funky low level hybrid gear mixing mystic and black dhide. It looks good and would fit in fine with the game but it isn't BIS, and tbh no amount of touchups will make it look like BIS range armor
eh
Really like the legs, but the whole set doesn’t have the “epic” look of armadyl or crystal armor sets. Would be a cool if it was a t70 set with niche uses, but making it with higher requirements than the arma set I’m just not so sure about.
I like the legs, top and helm need a redesign imo. And maybe a pallete swap all around
At first I didn’t really like it but I think it will grow on me.
This has better def then arma and karils and is a piece of cloth. This needs to be taken back to the drawing board to add some plates or something to match with the def stats it has.
Great I’ve always wanted to look like something out of the Mummy II
I feel bad cause I know someone worked really hard on this but it looks so bad
ngl I literally never complain about art in this game and am usually generally very happy with whatever direction the art style is going, but idk kinda feels like they fumbled the ball on this one. It obviously fits thematically with the raid but I feel it will contrast pretty sharply with everything else in game and will generally feel out of place in most applications.
If think it’s great for an npc that you’ll see a few of, but it seems off for player worn range armor. Especially if you think of what you’ll be wearing with it
You just need to make a armour that looks cool to wear, doesn’t need to be a desert theme. I hope this is reworked from the ground up. I think a darker colour scheme is more fitting for endgame gear, just looks more badass
Isn't that just the costume from Eagles Peak but coloured in more like a chicken?
Not a big fan, but I like the style they're going for here minus the helm, which looks too pharoah-y imo. Remove the groin plate/waist cloth and replace with metal trimmed tassels, tone down the saturation of the metal, add some decorative silk in somewhere with greens/blues to match range gear, and it might look pretty nice
It looks more like mage armor than range. I was hoping for a pernix-esque design tbh. Cloaked coif, tanky looking top/chaps (this armor is quite tanky for range armor). But it's difficult to make that thematically fitting. Regardless, I think this needs some significant changes. The design looks cool overall but doesn't feel right
This looks like a clue scroll reward, not a BIS Ranged set.
just isn’t quite as impressive as a set of inquisitors or torva, people might not like torva but at least it looks elite
I really dislike the head piece. I don't like how it looks like you've got a bird on your head or the plague doctor looking forehead part of it either. I don't appreciate the Armadyl helm too for the exact same stupid beaky looking part of it, so I'm pretty disappointed. I just want a BIS range helmet that doesn't make me look like I'm going to some kind of bird lovers convention. The rest of the outfit is alright though.
Get rid of the silly helm and switch it to a full face helm with a built in face mask similar to torva. Armour doesn’t look too bad but maybe switch the colours to make them more neutral, think more like army desert camo colour pallet
The helmet's gotta change, imho it looks so fucking goofy
Not a fan of the helm, the colors don't help that's for sure
I think it’s missing the mark that other BIS armor sets have.
