You can also add something like Beacons (firemaking) for rescuing your Ships that are lost out in Sea.
How might that work?

Hmm, like a random event while Seafaring there is a chance a storm hits your boat and it crashes near some rocks out in the sea and your minimap goes blank. Beacons would allow a crew to locate where you are to continue your progress.

It would grant Sailing and Firemaking exp.

Just a thought that might make Sailing feel more realistic and adds depth...

Also, would the Elemental/Catalyst alter give different tier of rune depending on your RC level?

EG:

Level 90 runecrafting will produce T10 catalyst rune which will function as mind-soul rune. Level 77 will product T9 runes which function up to bloods.

It would be odd for a Catalyst rune to function like as a higher level rune yet does not need the runecrafting level.


Then again....i *suppose* it won't be a big deal if the Alters are only accessible via random events.

I also believe Sailing still has a chance to be a great update. The OSRS team needs to focus on the skill itself this time around though. I feel like it hurt them a bit by talking about the things you can do/acquire/travel to as opposed to the skill itself.

Agreed. But that's basically what the skill is, so..
Well, that is true, but I think what was meant is that Jagex went too specific on the content that could be acquired, when they only needed to say the types of content sailing could offer. The specific content really, really doesn't matter. But they went into too much detail on place names, and monsters, and the items... which doesn't matter at all. And then people start basing their vote off of the specific content mentioned - when they really needn't have any bearing on how sailing is as a skill.

I think they'd have been much better off explaining the types of new content that would be possible - especially things that would be rather unique to sailing, such as the ways it can balance new high level content, the possibilities for bosses, pvp, quests and so on. Sailing

Ding Ding. That's exactly what I meant. They kept talking about things that could've been separate content without sailing. Dev team needs to re-think their strategy and comeback when they can talk/show more of the actual skill and also how it'll positively impact and enhance the game overall.
