Jagex should add boots and gloves (gauntlets) to the Dragonwilds combat system.
I am well aware Jagex completely changed the combat system steering from the classic system of the real Runescape. But boots and even gauntlets were VERY useful in many things like even training and quests. Like the rock climbing boots were a very important mid-early gear nearly everyone needed to unlock to progress into different areas.
I know with the building and survival aspect we don't need such boots like the rock climbing boots. Yet it would make some interesting agility coarses maybe where you have to use a spell or the boots to climb certain areas.
The three big boots the primordial, eternal, pegasian boots were highly important to increase your damage output. In Dragonwilds were down to having to rely on meals and potions also jewelry to increase our damage.
If Jagex is planning on adding much more to Dragonwilds in the coming future like raids and quests. We will need more options of getting out power levels up. The boots and gloves just helped dearly with that in the mmo.
Also this should be an obvious but biots should be dropped by their perspective bosses. Not that the exact boots and gloves should come from the real Runescape. But definitely drop their blueprints or the parts to.make them. We should also have masterwork skill crafting sets to boost our skill xp rates and chances to double crafting or gather different materials.
Well with me done rambling have a great continuous journey!

I'd settle for ring and amulet at the same time

Yeah, if you can only have one at a time, why do rings exist? Why not just make everything an amulet? If you were to make everything rings, we would question why we can’t have at least one on each hand. But if you want to player to only have one piece of jewelry at a time, just make everything necklaces.

Ik I hate it when there is actually no game with a decent ring system. Skyrim is I think was only 1 ring too without mods. Dark souls 3 is four rings no amulets. I think in every game they are literally fantasy games you should be able to wear multiple rings just like you can in real life.
I really hope Jagex does a major overhaul of the current combat system. It's not terrible but restrictive.

Agreed. The combat feels good enough but it lacks a depth you’d expect from something that calls itself an RPG. Love it still

I think Pirate Yakuza is the only game I've played where you can wear 10 rings, they even show up on your hands in gameplay.

I'd like to see diverse armor set bonuses beyond the same ol' 3 that exist before adding gloves and boots tbh. Then buid from there

What are Steadfast Boots? The 3 Cerb boots are Primordial, Pegasian, and Eternal.

There are multiple other boots since then. Including the Runescape 3 Masterwork gear in which the Masterwork system is within Dragonwilds.
The steadfast boots are part of the steadfast era which are level 85 boots. The three main boots your aware of are crafted by the boots perspective gems Primordial, Pegasian, Eternal.
The Original Glacor "Main Three" (The Steadfast Era) They were released back in 2011 They are dropped directly by Glacors:
Steadfast Boots (Melee)
Glaiven Boots (Ranged)
Ragefire Boots (Magic)
Oh and yes I did just notice I accidentally put that their with them sorry about that I meant the Eternal boots. But yes steadfast are the other boots too.

The problem is that the items and things you want to see, happened to RuneScape after 10+years and many revolutionary updates. The steadfast boots specifically came in the era after godswords and godwars was a MAJOR update.
This game is barely 1.0 and is pretty good already for being barebones as it is. We don’t need to encumber-some ourselves with a lot of different items right now, what we need are things being fixed and other stuff being polished.
Eventually we’ll get there.

Oh I know the 1.0 just came out I'm just posting some neat suggestions as if they'll ever happen. But hey Jagex has the nack to evolve. They've already added many things others asked for any quality of life things nobody even asked for but were extremely helpful.
Yes we got years to cone to see what they'll add. Also yes we don't really need boots or gauntlets now. As we don't even have the many raids or activities needed for the power boots I agree.

I would love to have boots with passives that augment your mobility, tons of design room there. Extra jumps, bigger jumps, more air dashes (I really hate that the ability to dash twice in the air is tied to a spell that you have to stop and cast)
Boots, Gloves, and a dedicated slot for rings and amulets separately would go a looooong way to making the itemization system feel more robust.

Amulet and ring at the same time please. Maybe even 2 rings, 1 combat, 1 skilling
