Corporeal Beast Drops  
3180DpA.png

Corporeal Beast has been a talking point among Old School players for some time now. With the boss essentially completed the discussions have moved towards what Corporeal Beast will drop.

We have talked to players about this and gathered a lot of feedback. The overall response has been phenomenal and has proven just how passionate many Old School players are when it comes to Corporeal Beast. This blog will go over the conclusion we have come to and what we are proposing for Corporeal Beast drops.

Signature drops

The Divine, Elysian, Spectral and Arcane sigils were the main draw for Corporeal Beast killers back when the boss was originally released and many Old School players have been asking to see them return along with the spirit shields that they were forged into.

Based on the feedback that we have received over the past months, we would like to offer the spirit shields as they were. Alongside this, we would like to offer the option to re-balance the Divine spirit shield.


The Spirit Shields

The spirit shields are the shields created from the sigils dropped by the Corporeal Beast. They are created by attaching a sigil to a blessed spirit shield (also obtained by killing Corp) which will require 85 smithing and 90 prayer.

These shields are incredibly strong but keep in mind that they are coming from a boss that, if released, will be the strongest boss in the game.

  • Slash defence: +65
  • Crush defence: +75
  • Magic defence: +2

Special effect: The Elysian spirit shield has a 70% chance of reducing the damage you receive by 25%.

Divine spirit shield

  • Stab attack: 0
  • Slash attack: 0
  • Crush attack: 0
  • Magic attack: 0
  • Range attack: 0
     
  • Stab defence: +63
  • Slash defence: +65
  • Crush defence: +75
  • Magic defence: +2
  • Range defence: +57

Special effect: The Divine spirit shield has a 100% chance of reducing the damage you receive by 30%. Your prayer points are drained for 50% of any damage that is negated.

The reworked Divine

The reworked Divine spirit shield that we will be offering alongside the original will have the damage reduction effect reduced to a 100% chance of reducing the damage you receive by 20%.

We would also remove the drain of prayer points when using the shield.

The Elysian spirit shield, on average, reduces incoming damage by 17.5% with no cost to prayer. By lowering the damage reduction of the Divine to 20% and removing the prayer point cost it holds it's place as the dominant shield whilst taking the edge off just how strong it used to be.


Other drops

We will be able to gather further feedback on this tomorrow as Mod Ronan will be killing 1,000 Corporeal Beasts at 9pm BST over on the RuneScape Twitch.tv channel. The boss will have the old drop table with everything at the same rarity (including sigils)!

We are looking forward to seeing what you have to say on the subject of Corp and invite any and all comments below (or anywhere else you can get a hold of us).
