- Jagex is looking to Nerf the Osmumten's Fang, but also Buff the Scythe of Vitur!
In this video I'll be going over the OSRS Blog Post about Project Rebalance, specifically the Fang Nerf and the Scythe Buff.
How do you feel about the Fang getting a Nerf?

Like this comment to get Buffed IRL
I’ll buff you
ITS NOT WORKING
Nice choice of background music. I always smile when I hear Romper Chomper ;)
You have great taste
I just bought the Fang lol
Helped me out with Vardorvis.
First time seeing your face and this isn’t what I expected lol not in a bad way just always pictured you differently lol
I'll change for you
Does this mean that fang will not have an option for strength xp only for builds that don’t want attack xp?
They're not removing the Slash option, they're just making Slash not do the double accuracy roll
good changes.
why is there never a link to the page yall be reading. can never find it
ppffff

even if the scythe is really good against verzik, vardovis or duke, does it really make it worth the 1b price whereas tbow and tumuken is op almost everywhere?
That's why they're trying to Buff it, so it'll be useful at more bosses
I need to get around to finishing my duke log before the fang nerf comes, only have the axe piece left. Nerf is definitely deserved though, thing is way too strong.
Fang gonna be 10m
It’s only 25m now so is what it is already with the fang price
@@irollup6240 hopefully it stays at that price or 20m+
@@irollup624023m a day later I bought it on Wednesday night at 31m
Yall should be spending more time using your weapons, rather than staring at their price point
yes
If they don’t touch the Stab bonus or attack speed on the the fang I’ll be happy with whatever changes. I got it for the stab anyways.
While they nerf the fang how bout they also buff it by giving its spec a stab animation
It is ironic that the Spec looks like a Slash attack LUL
They also used that animation on voidwaker, they love that animation
im a fairly new player still, only having 2 skills at 80 right now, but at least right now i would not mind seeing the scythe being the best melee weapon. i think it looks really cool, and considering the cost to use it, it should be really good. i think its also badass that it can hit 3 targets per swing. i found out the scythe existed maybe a week into playing when i saw someone at the GE with it, and since then its been my long term goal to get one myself. im still months and months of playing away from being able to try getting it, but its definitely a goal of mine.
Very nice man i wish you the best in your journey! It will be yours!!!
I've been playing again for 6 years and I only have a couple at 80.
Tbf I actually have an active life, so I only play on the weekends for like 4-5 hours tops. This game is just my little dose of nostalgia.
the fang nerf is really good even tho i just bought one. the new boss Duke is weak to slash and the Fang is the go-to weapon for him, even thi it is listed as a stab weapon.
Thank goodness I just finished vardorvis at 1800 kc:) also I really think the scythe needed a buff so that’s great.
Considering I don't think I've ever used slash on the fang (and haven't fought Vardorvis) it seemed fine. I'm more concerned about the skilling changes. Apparently Jagex thinks 3-tick mining granite from 45-99 starting at 70k an hour is top tier mining content and will never be touched in terms of xp rates, which is why just normal mining takes 300 hours for a 99
Shooting stars and MLM are 40-60k xp/hr and are relatively afk. I think that's completely fair to have an alternative, faster option for those who want to put in the extra effort.
Some skills are just slow to level and have always been slow. We don't need to have every single skill be as fast as fletching or cooking.
@@lokithehero2309 But why the cap on 3-tick mining granite and not a higher level method that doesn't randomly have you utilizing tar/harralander that has nothing to do with mining? Why cap a skill "because that's just how it's always been"? Just sounds ridiculous to me to have granite be the gold standard that all new mining xp rates need to be under.
Also I'm calling BS that anyone is getting 60k at MLM or Shooting Stars, you're getting 30k at most from shooting stars so I don't know where you got that number from
@@MoltarKaioi had to double check and you are right, mlm and stars are 30k/hr. I just threw out what I remembered but I was wrong, my bad. But even on the wiki, there are multiple methods that are 60-100k xp/hr, which are comprable to 3t granite, without using tick manip.
@@lokithehero2309 It's all good brother, maybe it's ok how it is and I just need to do more volcanic mining :)
Runecrafting and fishing too.
I’m not even asking for much but being able to break 120k xp per hour with a click intensive method would be nice. Only way to do that for RC is spending 30+ hours at daeyaalt essence mine and lose RC xp per hour over all.
Dayum voidwaker nerf sheesh lol
I’m still using an Abby whip. 😅
Whip is still a good weapon! People forget about all the good options in the game. As if it's BIS or nothing..
Why the occult? Also the scythe is kinda ass outside tob. They should buff crush because I love phosanis but it's shit gp rn
They're gonna redistribute some of Occult's mage damage to other items. Atm the Occult is by far the best Mage Armour piece for Magic Str, but it's the cheapest and one of the easiest to get. So they're probably gonna put some of the Mage damage on other Mage pieces like Ancestral. Or hopefully eternal boots
most of the changes sound positive. but am I the only one that isn't bothered by the hitting 0s when you did hit. Ive always viewed it as a primitive block/parry mechanic. Like I hit, but I didn't do damage.
That'd be fine if the "Parry" was a different hit splat or something, but in general the 0-max hit mechanic is pretty ass. Especially when your max hit is low. If you have a max hit of 1, then 50% of the time that you're accurate, you still hit a 0. That's pretty poorly designed
When bosses like Duke and Vardorvis exist , the fang nerf will leave a huge gap that absolutely needs to be filled . Either by buffing Saeldor and other weapons , or by adjusting/reducing the defences of many bosses and monsters or by releasing a new weapon. Sure both Scythe buff and fang nerf have to happen . But hitting zeros simulator is not fun . Designing solo bosses (that are easier than raids) around raid gear or around gear that drops from these bosses (soulreaper axe) is an impossible dev mistake . And needless to say , this is a community who believes that the biggest Scythe buff is the fang nerf , because the gap between the undisputed BiS and the accessibility options will grow bigger . In other words , the toxic elitists believe that their time and their effort needs to be respected when they will gladly disrespect the time and effort of everybody else . Fking sad days are ahead .
Gives room for soul reaper axe to perform. If soulreaper gets a buff it will fill the void of fang. Not to mention, fang didnt fill a niche it TOOK OVER what abyssal tentacle and saeldor were doing which is why whips went below 1m not long ago and enhanced weapon seeds sit below 100m. Duke is already poisonable, so tent whip will be the go to there along with arclight for poor noobs. Same with vard. Just means longer kill times for those with shitty gear which is good for long term health of the game. As you get better gear you should be able to kill the boss faster. The fang made gear upgrades for certain content more marginal than it should be.
@@MrMalding99salad blade should be buffed though. It’s literally such a marginal upgrade over tent whip it’s not really worth. Bowfa is what dictates the price of enhanced seeds, if it had not been added blade would likely be in the same position as rapier right now.
Never understood why fang had a slash style and bonus to begin with.
Can’t believe it took a year of a common item drop being BIS and broken before anything changed.
I agree that Fang shouldn't have the Slash option to begin with. Even if it's Slash bonus wasn't good, then it's just confusing for Players when they first get their Fang
I'm not a fan of "Why did this update take so long". I'd rather be appreciative of the effort Jagex puts in on updates and balancing, than complain that it took too long. Like, they could have not changed it ever? At least they're actively working on a problem
Another nerf for the fang? 😐
Being that melee has always been the free option I believe there should still be a corrupted version of the scythe. Make it cost 500m+ for bloods and vials and force the scythe to people's accounts so that selling it is -500m. All bloods and vials are consumed. I think that's a fair price to always have a charged scythe. It's not exactly free but it has no up keep which is in line with nearly all melee weapons for the most part. As for vials of blood being so rare and the possible demand, add a boss that consistently drops 1 vial of blood every kill instead of bones. It's about time we have more methods of obtaining them anyways.
The scythe is still going to be absolute dogshit with only a +15 accuracy buff lmao. The price per swing isnt the problem its the accuracy
This is very very bad. Why? because they are tailoring the game for the top 1% of the playerbase. What are supposed to use people that dont have 5bil bank? Iam fine with the Fang nerf and beeing a neache stab weapon, but then give something else to use to players that dont have enough gp to buy 5 different weapons that each cost 100m+
They give the example of Duke and Vardovis. Ok, feng is not supposed to be used as a slash weapon, but what are we supposed to use there then? a Whip?
It makes no sense, rich players will simple get more rich doing 10 kills per trip doing 3 min kills while the rest will strugle 8 minutes to kill a boss doing 2 kills per trip with a whip, because we cant afford a freaking Scythe that costs 800m. Fang was an a just a little bit expensive and acesible item that gave normal players a way into bossing.
It appears as Jagex is only focused on balancing the game for the top 1% of the playersbase. But guess what 99% of the playerbase doesnt have billions gp. And furthermore, with the tax on GE, you cant even buy a weapon/gear to try a boss, and then sell it if you dont want to commit to it, because you will be losings money because of the tax.
All that this "balancing" will do is make rich players richer, and the rest more frustrated and eventualy stop playing.
And finally not to mention that this game is already grindy and drags into infinity taking atleast 1 to 2 years to be in a place where you have the levels, gear, quests, diaries to have acess and capabilities to do bosses, raids etc and what this "balancing" does is prolonges the path to actualy start playing the content of the game even further away. Isnt the game supposed to be fun for all the day? As it is and will be even more you will need to go through hell of grind and pain for 2 years+ to have the all listed above + the super expensive items to ACTUALY PLAY THE GAME. This is beyond illogical. And those that defend this nerfs cant see further than their arms can stretch.
TIL you need a 5b bank to afford a Blade of Saeldor
This is an MMO bro... grinding is literally a core aspect of the game.
Also, all the "top" players today started from the SAME EXACT PLACE you did, hell it might've been even harder for them since there weren't as many ways to earn gp and/or xp like nowadays.
If you want fast levels and quick dopamine hits and big numbers then maybe OSRS isn't the game for you.
@@TheEdB0ys I really dont want to be confrontational and I really like your content but i have to say this. keep in mind that is all in a respectful way. Blade of Saeldor is 100m and this is exsactly my point. 4 different mele weapons + ranged + magic you are at 400m easy and you are not even bis. Add to that gear for each and we are talking easy about a billion. And I understand that there has to be some sort of gap between the top 1% and the rest, but you cant keep us hostage in the poor area.
I feel like you guys have lost touch with reality. Money makers dont make us much for us as they do for you that use BIS. 1 bill is like 600-700 hours( i didnt actually calculate it, but an estimate on top of my head) Do you realise how long 700 hours is? Thats 30 days in playing time. That means that 1 year of GRINDING just to have the gear to not eve be BIS. Now add maxing, diaries, quests etc, we talking about YEARS. I assume 95% of people have families, jobs, obligations other hoobies and cant spend 24 hours per day playing the game. Isnt the game supposed to be fun to the majority of players and not just the top 1%? It doesnt make sense not only in a moral and logical way but neither it does as a business model..
Iam actually fine with the idea of having different weapons do different things, but then they need to release more weapons for each stile that are more affordable and do the job as fang does for the stab to give the normal player a path into bossing. Whats the point that 1% of player doing bosses and holding 50b banks watching their money stack and salivating while the rest wear a whip, torso, serpentine helm, d defender, d boots, berseker, fire cape with 30m in bank strugeling to get 2 kills per trip.
As I said relese more weapons in the 30m-50m range that do the job for other stiles as fang does for the stab and buff BIS so that also the top 1% will be happy and we all Gucci, but the game should revolve around 1% of players in my opinion.
@@lokithehero2309 I understand and grind is much appreciated, but there is grind, and there is bullshit. As I said in the comment above, most people have lives and obligations outside the game. Grind is fine and there should be, but you cant have 99% of players base holding 100m bank while 1% holding the rest of the economy and then having gear cost 100m+. What are the rest of the players supposed to wear? Full rune?
@@peacego624the fang is only a little more than a year old. Before it was released “normal” players still did bosses, it isn’t as if they are creating a new barrier to content by nerfing it. Not having an overpowered fang is a difference in dps and efficiency, if you try real hard and believe in yourself, I am confident that you will still be able to content after the nerf.
Fang nerf is not needed imo. Now I have to buy a 100mil enhanced crystal weapon, or a 800mil scythe. Fuggin bs.
How sad that a 30m weapon isn’t going to be BIS melee almost everywhere… 😂
@@Scuuuuuuba LIKE OMG LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO XD
@@RandomDropUp It's how it should have been to begin with. Use non-bis weapons until you save up enough to get bis for different attack styles. .
Or heres an idea, you can still kill the boss. Just without the highest tier bis weapon. Your kph will probably only be negligibly different.
It's really not that hard to make 100m these days.
thank god
The big secret buff is going to be to soul reaper axe 🪓 i predict that bad boy will spike to 600 plus
Idk if it's much of a "secret" since they mentioned they want to buff it LOL, but I do hope that it's a significant boost they add to it
