I'm simply amazed at the amount of time you've put into this idea, and if this was in the game it would be the only thing I'd play!


Thank you very much!

I think if ships are tradable they should have extremely high prices, with even the cheapest starting at a few mil and going all the way up into the hundreds of millions. The game could use more high-end items for us to spend our bossing money on instead of just gear for more bossing or buyable skills. Also, scapers could now say, "I've put all me life's work into this ship."
;)


I definitely agree that ships should cost a decent amount. I'm still not entirely sure how much for each, but I would say that, especially getting towards the higher tiers they should cost quite a bit. Considering there's a good chance of them being lost (even more so when bossing) it should be a bit like losing a valuable item.

I like your idea that they should be able to go up to exceptionally valuable levels. I'll give it a bit of thought to see if I can think of any ways to have that. Not to be strictly needed, but for very wealthy players to have a way to show off that wealth that isn't strictly cosmetic, like high level god wars gear and stuff.

On the plus side, it would be great if the ships were quite valuable, and could be traded, as it might be a way to make construction profitable!

Support 100%! I have been around since the original idea of sailing was purposed years ago! If jagex truly wants to listen to there player base they are gonna have to pole it eventually.

Your idea sounds very thought out then any other sailing thread I have ever seen. Kudos to you sir. Id vote yes for the sailing skill in a heartbeat(as im sure lots of the community would because its been discussed for years.)

I purpose that jagex should do another player Design content poll and sailing be on that list. This thread is easily the most active and one of the most requested updates of all time imo(been playing since early 03 end of classic era.)

The discussion for sailing must not die town till we get it into game! Hope the Jmods realize and post there thoughts on this thread :D

Thanks for your support!

Sailing does indeed have quite a decent amount of support already. The biggest problem are the people that just reject it outright, based on their own preconceptions, rather than actually paying attention to how versatile and inclusive the skill could be.

I can but hope! They still haven't even given a reason why it wasn't even going to be considered for the last PDC. Considering how much everyone would benefit and how much it would expand the game, I really don't know why Jagex seems to be actively resisting the implementation of sailing.

Hey San! You've put a lot of great work into this idea and while I regret to admit I haven't read everything, I can definitely say that it's a great idea and I think it would be very fun and refreshing.

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure if the Old School team would be ecstatic about jumping into the implementation simply because it would require a great deal of development.

In addition, there are a lot of hardcore OSRS players who say no to everything new without even giving it a chance. I wish something like this, or maybe even a toned version of it would be added... but no guarantees. Time will tell I suppose... Good luck!

Captain Tab: Thank you very much for your kind words! I do understand where you're coming from, and indeed, I think the scope of development that would be needed is probably the most valid reason against the idea. However, given something equally huge as Zeah managed to pass (and pass well at that), I can't be too sure. Considering how universally beneficial I think sailing would be, I would hope they would see the value it could bring to the game as being worth the development time.

Lil Krizzle: Thank you for your support! I did go into a little bit of detail about having a PVP mechanic, which you can read about here .
