Ngl, I'm extremely disappointed in the rewards for While Guthix, all i see for the rewards is "Pvm Pvm Pvm", and i think that's extremely boring :/ Can we add a new hunter creature to Felldip Hills after the quest While Guthix Sleeps to hunt Broavs for the pet? I wouldn't care if we get it as a almost free pet or if it would be like herbiboar pet, but i think that makes the rewards less boring and more inclusive to people who don't care for just PvM
That being said, the quest looks awesome and can't wait for the lore of it

I'm all for adding more skilling rewards but this would be the 4th hunter pet (baby chin, herbi, and soon quetzal pet from the hunter guild)
additionally, Herbi is already a boar pet, and broavs are also boars
so not only would it be the 4th hunter pet, but the 2nd boar pet, so it would be very redundant

But whe have Chompy bird as a pet, why not add a special pet for good quest?

if you want to be technical, chompy is also a hunting pet (but doesn't give hunter xp)
slender thistle
my point there is that there's enough hunter pets already
stray sky
Variety is always good
slender thistle
yeah it really sounds like you agree they shouldn't add this lol
stray sky
there's no such thing as "Too many pets" when you can earn them in specific ways
PVM literally "Has too many pets" by your logic, and no one ever points that out, but when it comes to skilling, all of the sudden, people cry because they can't focus on anything if it's not killing a boss lol
it's really annoying and pathetic
is all im saying
slender thistle
no, that's not my point, I have no problem with more skilling pets- my problem is that you're more or less suggesting a pet that already exists, [[herbi]]

sorry, i saw the link to herbiboar and didn't see what you wrote for a sec until i sent that, i'm sorry lol
slender thistle
well, it's not happening regardless so i've got nothing else to say
We can do much better than another boar pet from another hunter activity, I'd rather something more creative
stray sky
But Broavs are iconic, herbiboar is not really iconic, but still a really cool pet
slender thistle
other people who play rs3 or played rs2 at the time would have to weigh in and comment on whether or not they thought the broav was iconic

Maybe people are being gaslit by that recent Colonello video?

I don't watch Cornello much, so i haven't seen his latest video of what you're talking about

He talks about old forgotten updates we have little documentation on or scrapped updates. This very pig was one of the things he brought up.

I see, I just saw the part where you're talking about, i don't really care if they make Broav's serve a purpose or not, i still think it would be really cool to see it, a quest reward to hunt for it or obtain it as the Broav would symbolize that you completed a hard quest like While Guthix Sleeps, similar to how Chompy symbolizes the completion of the Western Hard diaries, it may seem to be a stupid hill to die on, but i like rewards like this from skilling, and not just transmogs for already existing pets COUGH Forestry transmogs COUGH , and it adds more to the game than just adding something in for the sake of it *COUGH Hell, maybe it could have purpose if people really wanted it to, but i only care about the pet itself
I think big quests like that should not all reward just PVM" it's closed minded and why this game treats skilling like shit and it gets boring
Not EVERY single big quest of course should include both playstyles, but i think if there's opportunity for it, of course it should it should have some skilling rewards too

chompy pet is from elite western diary

I know, but you still have to grind for it post diary, the diary gives the ability to obtain it which is my point

The only real way for the quest to "unlock" a new skilling activity is for it to "unlock" a new area. WGS unlocks the guthixian temple. If you want to suggest a new skilling idea, why is it in Feldip hills? Why not put it in the temple....?
The game also doesn't treat skilling like shit. There are whole updates to skilling that have nothing to do with PVM. Tons of minigames, A WHOLE HUNTER GUILD COMING OUT! An entire blog coming soon to be release about skilling rebalancing.

Although, you're correct on the hunter's guild (which I'm most excited for), skilling pets are treated differently compared to PvM pets, look at forestry for example, we could've gotten seperate pets with fox and pheasant which would've made so much more sense, but instead, we got transmogs for them on a pet that doesn't make any sense with beaver being able to turn it into a fox or a bird, and it's little things like that is annoying because if roles were revered, PvM pets would get so many less seperate pets and more transmogs that don't make sense for them to have a transmog for

New content doesn't always have to require new areas, there's many old areas that recieved added content like PvP arena, Giant's Foundry, Motherlode Mine, Phantom Musphah, Whisperer, Duke, etc. Felldip hills is a place I love personally so it would add another thing to hunt in that area

Firstly I'd like for you to imagine how that would work. If they were to add a fox pet, and that fox pet was a forestry specific pet, then it'd have to be on the chance of doing the trapper forestry event. Would that even make sense? You're not getting a skilling pet from doing a skill, or a minigame, not even by doing Forestry. You'd be getting it from doing a singular event within forestry. The same could be said about the pheasant pet. Each boss is an individual piece of content and normally has a very low chance of getting the pet, they don't really have anything to do with eachother and each pet is its own thing.
You're essentially asking why don't we have a willow tree pet, and a maple tree pet, or a yew tree pet. Why not a rune rock pet? A gem stall theiving pet, a pet specifically from thieving ardy knights.
And I don't mean to call your idea stupid or anything rude, but theres nothing wrong with transmogs
Also how would you get less pets if PVM were to get the same treatment as Forestry?
Transmog any pet into any other pet?
That'd defeat the purpose

Because transmogs aren't pets, i absolutely love transmogs, I just want transmogs in the game to make sense, rather than just cramming it onto already existing pets, and i see your point on the forestry event and that's fair, but we already have herbiboar/chinchompas that are very specific pieces of content to the skill, and forestry events are part of woodcutting as the events give woodcutting xp (as well as passive xp in thieving and hunter and farming)
All im saying, is if roles were revered, we'd see all 5 godwars bosses (Counting Nex) as transmogs, all 3 Dagonnoth kings as transmogs, the 5 wildy bosses as transmogs, all 4 DT2 Bosses as transmogs vs making them their own pets which would make sense that they'd have their own pet
