My guess: Astrology (28/11/2022)


a lil cape design I did in fotoshawp

Inspirations: Mechscape, Stellar Dawn, Melvor Idle, The Elder Gods in general, being responsible for creating the planets and life in the games universe.

They say there'll be a new story-line. I think exploring other worlds would be a great way to go about this. I recently did the quest 'Meeting History' on my FSW account and it mentions how Guthix brought creatures from all over to live on Geilinor. From other planets?
Since Guthix is no longer with us,
it could be our role now to carry on this duty. It'd introduce new characters, areas, items, etc.


Constellations we could visit...

Levelling up would let us travel to new constellations and give access to features within the ones we have already unlocked. The skill would be deep as it is wide, just like Archaeology, with its sites that you unlock and then plots within them that you learn to uncover. It'd be the same thing but you are exploring the stars and studying what you find on other planets. Imagine how many quests they could make with this foundation...

Jagex seems to have put a lot of work into space related content with their scrapped projects. So I wonder if they're going to put some of that to use with the next skill. I hope so.





Oh, and the current Treasure Hunter promotion, solstice. I think that is a hint. Bob says:

The Land Before Time: Journey through Anachronia

I actually wouldn't be surprised if its something like time-travel / astrology. It'd tie into a lot of the newer content. Or we could get sailing! (lol) We will have to wait and 'sea' ... Bob says:

Sailing + Time Travelling = Aviation/Space Exploration.

Space, the final frontier! These are the voyages of the Time Guardian and the Heroes of Gielinor. Their continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations (and don't forget the space dwelling, banished Zamorak), to boldly go where no one has gone before through the Eldergates.

I was going to say that this feels too early, but then I realized that it's been two and a half years since Archaeology (which had the longest gap between skills at four years, two months) and I felt my bones turn to dust (seriously, where have the past two and a half years gone?).

I think Necromancy is likely; during one of the EGW conversations last year, Zamorak revealed that he has his human necromancers spend time in the Shadow Realm to bolster their resistance to the Anathema. Now that we've lost our World Guardian powers, we're going to need some other means of protection against it the next time Erebus becomes a threat, so why not spend time in the Shadow Realm ourselves?

Not to mention the current plot arc is Zamorak focused; I won't be surprised if it ends with Moia's forces fleeing to the Shadow Realm (a favourite tactic of some of his Mahjarrat, like Khazard) and us needing to go in after them.

the new skill could be called Cosmology using the following skills:

https://runescape.wiki/w/Cosmology

Using existing content such as the World Gate.

This opens a vast potential of exploration and lore of the different worlds/realms/afterlifes "https://runescape.wiki/w/Category:Realms" as well as new potential skilling/Combat locations for every single skill such as much needed reworks for Woodcutting (including a new axe), Construction and possibly Agility.

It also opens up the potential of bringing more skills to 120 such as gathering, support and artisan skills in support of the new 120 max cape coming out: Mining (New ores), Fishing (new fish), Hunter (new things to hunt), woodcutting (new trees), Divination (New divination locations as well as new Transmutation) for gathering; Agility (rework, or if they want to continue the existing route add new agility training methods), Dungeoneering (can be incorporated in many ways, Slayer (new and harder slayer monsters as well as slayer masters), Thieving (rework or add onto existing route and add new thieving methods) for support skills; and Cooking (fishing/new foods), Construction (rework using the rework of woodcutting and other skills), Crafting (new crafting materials from slayer/Monsters), Firemaking (new trees to burn but I also think fire making should have a significant role further and should be reworked), Fletching (new arrows, bolts, etc..) , Herblore (new potions), Rc (new rune(s)), and Smithing (new bars for new armour).

It also opens up a mass amount of potential new bosses and content from the different worlds/realms such as: Tezcasathla; Hostilius; Jormungor; A new vampire/demon boss; A boss from different Afterlife realms such as the Grim Underworld (fight death himself?); a boss from the great forest afterlife in the folklore of the werewolves of Canifis; etc.... there is so much potential to have cosmology as the new skill in which they can incorporate new ideas and new areas.
