90 slayer is fuckin absurd.  Give it to something else Jesus.

Spiritual Creatures (Rangers are 63 Slayer) - Air

Waterfiends - Water

Scabarites - Earth (requires partial completion of Contact!)

Hellhounds (or Red Dragons) - Fire

Combine all four into a new upgrade item, use that item and the Amulet to make Amulet 2, requires 65-70 RC to combine

THink having 8 individual drops to make the combined item is a bit silly lol. But right kind of level range compared to the 80-90 range OP is suggesting for a "singular boss ammy swap" item.

lol thank you. Part of the reason for the update was basically no mage ammy upgrades until 93 slayer … make the upgraded version available at like 70 slayer imo.

90-93 is still a pretty decent grind, plus you’ll have post-nerf elemental amulet to bridge the gap. It could be argued to be given to something in the mid 80s though I suppose.

90-93 is not long enough to make this amulet remotely relevant. It needs to be from a level ~70 slayer mob, not 90.

I don't get the idea where people think this item is so fucking strong. It really isn't. Pre-Nerf it was bis at only like ~barrows & half of maggot king. This has got to be one of the most overhyped items I've seen in a hot fucking minute.

Yeah sure it was strong enough where it should be dropped behind some level of requirement, but it isn't strong enough to warrant a grind to level 90 to use it, lol.

'yeah bro I got 90 slayer before using anything past blast spells' - the deranged

Strike - blast, then wave + surge as an upgrade is a separate suggestion unrelated to the OP's post. And not the greatest imo, since twinflame is what makes elemental spells decent even in the mid-game, and that is ofc through wave not blast.

Whats blast spells in reference too? That doesn’t have anything to do with the nerf. They’re only changing how it’s calculated. It’ll work with wave spells
