Nothing sacred about runescape lores and I will never accept a human as a walking sacred book accepted as an authority. You truly need to re-read the definition ot the word Bible before using it ever to give a human this high of a title.
It will be nice if you change Mod Osborn Walking Lore Bible title to something else.
Perhaps to a walking lore knowit all or what ever. Have you no respect for the word Bible whats up with you? O_o

Mark Twain was a famous wit but you came far to farway not near close by a microscopic bit to be like him.

keep the religion out of game's please

Isis Wrath is saying:
I said nothing about the Bible as a Bible sacread books.
I spoke and wrote about the word Bible been missed use in the title of Mod Osborn do to the fact that the word bible means sacred books and not sacred human so get a grip and please keep religion out of the game. Echos_Of_NBS you are the one that are wasting peoples time believing and repeating what ever any one wants to believe. Read and head:

Bible: The sacred writings of any religion. Any book accepted as an authority. A dictionary is a writer's bible. Use it properly. Mod Osborn the RuneScape Walking Lore Bible is an incorrect use of a personification because he is not a sacred book.

There are two definitions. The capital version is a holy book i.e Bible, The

However the lowercase form which is used in the turn of phrase here, bible, is a definied as thus (with an example): 2. A book considered authoritative in its field: the bible of French cooking.
Bible is not used incorrectly, it is simply used as a standard noun.

Long time playing, first time listening.

Excellent podcast, you guys are fun to listen to. You answered a lot of questions I had about the skill, but I didn't quite hear whether or not we'll get more bank space

Very excited for Divination (also looking forward to wearing the lower level milestone capes - they look nice!). Happy to hear the developers thought about Dungeoneering as they were/are working on the skill.

Lastly - yessssss! I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say that we want a smithing rework. Not sure how I'd handle the upper levels - but dragon platebodies are a lower level than rune - just doesn't make sense. Personally I'd like it to fit similar levels to weapon and armor wield requirements - but that'd make for a much different Runescape.

What does sound awesome is customizing armor. I seem to remember a thread in the suggestions forum a few years back talking about this. Tell Mod Jack that I'm their new fan!

For the smithing part of the podcast.

Maybe add the ability to smelt down armour and weapons made with the smithing skill in the Artisan Workshop. Add a forge, players melt their made armour (which has already given them smithing xp) and let it return an item (e.g. liquid [name ore] metal).
This liquid metal can then be used in the Artisan Workshop together with an ingot mould (doesn't exist yet but should be added) to make the ingots already used in Artisan Workshop. They can use the ingots to make the ceremonial swords, rails, ... and gain smithing xp again.

This wil not require that much adaptions to the game, players get double (even a bit more) smithing xp out of their ores/bars and the armour and weapons is gone to (like when you high alch it).

Just an idea i got while listening to the podcast.

So there won't be a npc skill master when divination comes out but some time after. I wonder what happens to all max and comp capes when divination becomes a reality... Will we see Max training divination like a mad man until the first player reaches 98?

I liked the relaxed tone of the podcast even though it made it more difficult to hear everything. Anyway, I decided to listen to it again with headphones for clarity.

I got my hopes up hearing Mod Ana was involved too - the 'Branches...' quest really was one of my all time favourites.

And yay for it not being a competitive skill regarding resources. I really love mining and it saddens me to see people disliking it because of 'mine owners'.

I will have to give this a listen. Very intrested in what the new skill is all about, and there hasnt been enough information to get me excited at all yet.

On the topic of bible, definately no disrespect from me. However, could you all just drop it. You are only making each side look bad, as all of your back and forth is typical troll ranting and has 1. no purpose as applicable to this game, its forums, or well AT ALL! 2. You all look like idiots for even participating in the argument. (Those that troll or are never pleased don't even listen to any other side, you would think people would learn this by now and just let it go!). You ignore them they have no audience but themselves (drives them crazy when no one pays attention).

I wish there was a transcription. I accept that I am "old" and a "fuddy duddy" with pod casts (I am fairly certain I have never listened to a pod cast and just my use of the term fuddy duddy dates me - ha ha).

A very rapid, non-scientific search shows that the average English speaking speed is somewhere between 110 and 175 words per minute whereas the average reading speed is at least 250 words per minute with the upper range of "average" being closer to 500 words per minute.

I become very "bored" when I watch the videos that are supposed to be informative (not just ones about Runescape). I want them to move faster. When I read, I can skim over the parts that do not seem important to me. I suppose I can with a pod cast as well, but I have done it with reading techniques for so long that it is second nature.

But so many organizations (not just Jagex) have decided that they would rather do a video pod cast type communique rather than a well written article. I guess I will discover this material "in game" since I prefer reading and do not see myself becoming a "pod cast" listener.

I do not want to wear "ear buds" or "headphones", nor do I want to annoy the Mrs by having the sound turned up. Ear buds or headphones make me less aware of my surroundings.

I just want to be able to READ these things. It will go much faster to READ them and I can remain aware of my surroundings while I read rather than having my auditory sense forced into a single, focused channel - especially for an entertainment / game situation.

Perhaps posting the script that should have been followed by the person in the Video? I have to believe that you have, at least, an outline of what is to be covered. At least that way I could get the pertinent points without having to slowly listen to the speaker during the video.

Was very interesting to listen too.
It's nice that the people take their time to do these podcasts and such for the benefit of the players.
I just LOVE listening to Mod Osbourne talking, me and the Oompa Loompas could listen to him forever.
