I'm just going to be the third to say that it may be Necromancy.

But I'm also highly curious as to whether or not this will be a combat skill.

The only thing RS players hate more than changing the combat systems, is changing the combat level.

I was just wondering the same thing, the current max combat level has been as it is for ages now and if Necromancy is a combat-related skill it would make sense to raise the cap.

We probably won't get to know the exact answer in 2 months.

However, from the lineup of content leading to and supplementing the new skill, it seems more skilling then combat to me.

I think a skill like archeology could fit the current meta of the game without breaking it.

it would fit into the lore of finding artifacts which then can buff current items for PvE reasons (like how they did with dragon enhanced weapons)

It could be a way to integrate new cosmetic kits into the game for the fashion scape players while also make the ornament kits viable to PvE by collecting artifacts that enchant the ornament kit.

there's an infinite number of possibilities that could come from an update like this when your able to enchant cosmetic pieces. for instance, you could enchant a chest piece to have -10 kg. Doesn't break the game but then there could be new dungeons added that require -45kg meaning you would have to enchant a lot of gear. Or even being able to enchant +2 prayer bonus to armor that is only activated during boss fights / in boss rooms or even slayer monsters. While +2 prayer doesn't sound like that much, enchanting 9 pieces of gear with it is pretty substantial.

I get that a skill like this would be monotonous, similar to rune crafting and construction, but they're also some of the most rewarding skills in the game.

Why not an enchanting skill? that would be a bank standing skill which most people are against.

Archeology would require you to find / dig up the enchants / cosmetics. Maybe even a hidden technique of combining runite with iron to make a Damascus steel that bridges the gap between runite and dragon (level 50 gear) for mid level players.

i know a lot of people are thinking it will be:
Necromancy - probably wont be, because summoning ruined the game the first time.. reason why its 2007 scape.
Sailing - Why implement teleportation 2.0? if they're going to make a new island we would just teleport to it. we don't need sailing for new islands / content to be made which is apparently the biggest argument for it.

It will be Necromancy. It is already officially announced, and this is not 2007scape where everything is still in limbo, especially a controversial skill.

i'm talking about OSRS not RS3. i didn't realize there was an archeology skill already in RS3 though... After looking at it... it's a bit different than i imagined lol
