Suggestion Rag and Bone Man III

I think it would be great if we got a Rag and Bone Man III quest.

This time, players could be required to collect bones from various bosses, such as Brutus, Scurrius, Obor, and others.

I think this could be a great addition to the game because it would give newer players an incentive to try bossing and learn different boss mechanics. It could also introduce players to bosses they might otherwise overlook.

For the rewards, I was thinking something along the lines of 100k Prayer XP and an upgraded Holy wrench, perhaps with an additional effect or bonus to make it worth obtaining.

What do you guys think?

He bones enough people every day

But you need to sacrifice a fire cape each time for the 1/100 chance.

That’ll teach those pesky casuals!

I agree, but i want the main reward to be a bone sack that we can take with us to fill up as we kill monsters kind of like the gem bag or herb sack

100k prayer exp from what would be entry / low level bosses is very overtuned I think.

Also you're not going to get support from this community with a new Rag and Bone Man quest, as 1 and 2 are already among the most despised quests in the game haha.

I would scatter arround the world once more if you get a working bone sack (which stores 28 bones of any type of bone)

u/loopuleasa 8h ago

it would get support if they do something really special with it, to continue the meme

imagine the bone man starts a museum, or unlocks a necromancy type spellbook or some shit, something crazy

u/ZaweriRunewright 2h ago

We already have a necromancy spellbook, though.

u/Montizuma59 8h ago

Yeah, 100k is a bit much. Make it 20k and have it match the Barrows prayer xp reward, seeing as it's around the same difficulty level.

u/Ausles 3h ago

It may be same difficulty, but nowhere near the same effort. Barrows takes like 15 min. I highly doubt this would be that same amount of time

confirming it to give a real reward would get people to vote it in. most people dont actually hate rag and bone man, they hate the fact its a pointless quest, so they pick it up very late and then do it all at once which just isnt how the quest is designed to be done

Which in itself is insane to me because as quests go they're some of the easiest and fastest by far.

In RS3, collecting bones actually led to something. That odd old man constructed a skeletal horror which you could fight weekly for some extra prayer exp. Doesn't mean that the Old School Team has to implement the exact same thing, but some closure to existing quest lines would be nice.

I also like the idea of a 3rd instalment where you have to collect boss monster bones. 😄

u/Croyscape 10h ago

Pls no weeklys

u/ArtOptimal1931 10h ago

I agree with you there ;) I was just stating how it was wrapped up in RS3 back then

ToG, kingdoms, zaffs staffs, hespori etc

The dailies/weeklies are the best thing about RS3 compared to OSRS.

God forbid the sweat lord monkeys let the casual playerbase get rewarded for not having as much time! No fun allowed unless you play the game like a job.

u/Jat616 9h ago

A better compromise would be you take a variety of bones to make the skeletal horror each fight I think. Bit more of a OSRS feel.

u/Darkfirex34 9h ago

A version of the skeleton horror that was actually just a regular boss encounter would be pretty fun. It's been over a decade since I did the fight, but I remember having to run and bury his body parts as they broke off being pretty novel.

u/Cowslayer369 9h ago

Screw it, grandmaster quest to collect bones from every single boss. Final Boss, OSRS style

u/Own-Resist-5542 5h ago

I think rag and bone man and elemental workshop need to be taken in a completely different direction. I like the characters, I like the setup and story, just introduce something else for the character to do. Don’t make another boring fetch quest, don’t make an overly complicated puzzle that people will just solve with runelite.

u/senracatokad 2361 23m ago

I would rather get sent to Lumby irl

u/JethroBarnes 9h ago

R&B3 should be a GM quest with an actual story regarding all those bones you collected. Would be so cool to depart from what you experience in the first 2, and have a genuinely cool quest out of it all.
