I agree and disagree at the same time.

First of, the questline following to the Temple quest, are not in OSRS.
It might be better to have a whole new quest, with the same storyline almost introduced insted, offering these new prayers, or allowing you to UNLOCK the prayers in the regular prayer book, insted of a seperate book.

Secondly,
Soul Split wasn't the only overpowered prayer in this prayer book, Turmoil was strong aswell.
If they nerf it a bit, it is definetly worth introducing to OSRS, but with just your idea's, I cannot fully support your suggestion.

Althrough I loved the animation of Turmoil activating, which made me drool every time, it was a good idea to add higher level prayers.

With Augury and Rigour just introduced, it might be a good idea of JaGeX to think of future prayers, to release maybe after the summer period, because as it stands right now, 99 prayer is just for the max cape and or skill cape, nothing else important, to me atleast.

I think curse prayers should be added in the future. Or maybe give it a different spin for osrs but add advanced prayers that require a higher level bracket.

With this in mind I would prefer to have some other form of combat to aid the current triangle too. I am not saying summoning, but something similar where you can have something to aid you in combat, and it would help buff the current level to a new higher combat level. Clan Defy -

Also let time sink in with the new prayers added through the raids, as this will make it worth while to have in the meantime. It would be a bit mean if jagex added free prayers, which are way more advanced than current prayers costing a hefty sum atm. Clan Defy -

I have always loved curses. I had around 70 prayer before Curses came out in rs3, and spent around 50M getting Turmoil. Having aforementioned curse put one quite close to 99 Prayer, which gave more players an incentive to get 99.

Moreover, Temple at Senntisten also forwarded the Mahjarrat questline, which I also loved to bits. Quests have, and always will be, the lifeblood of Runescape.

However, I can't deny that Soul Split in particular, was quite powerful. You were able to surpass the abilities of SGS, and render Guthan's moot. I lived on Soul Split through Slayer assignments with no problems whereas now Guthan's is a mandate for nearly all tasks. I did still love Soul Split, though.

I would have no problems voting "yes" should the Old School team poll something much like Curses.

Respectfully,

Don't think it will happen in the forseeable future.

If people made pures specifically for these prayers, you know how overpowered they really are.
Healing without food is also quite rare in OSRS, only notable examples being the Saradomin Godsword, Guthan's armor set, Toxic blowpipe spec (Unreliable) and Blood spells from the ancient spellbook (Way, WAY too expensive for ANY use, 2.7k~/cast is just ridiculously absurd). Soul split will make ALL of them useless, make slayer an even bigger joke than it is now with free healing everywhere, make bosses easier with Soul split flicking, and make PvP just not fun if your opponent keeps safing their health up and smiting you at the same time with it :/.

Turmoil is OP, no question. The rest of the curses have no counters to them currently. All the leech and sap curses will force you to fight in a weakened state, decreasing your odds at winning substantially unless you have the curses. The only thing I really loved about curses pre-eoc are the limited deflect curses, which can't hurt OSRS that much.

Seeing that new content is being pushed out day by day and without real balance (Meleescape dominates), it wouldn't be surprising if curses were to be released in the future...

Honestly, full support. if you decide not to get curses, then thats your problem, and if your a pker and decide to not get curses, then thats also your problem, as your putting these limits and restrictions on yourself willingly. Yeah, you can make a pker pure specifically for curses, but so what? everyone plays the game their own way, if they wanna make a lvl 15 all stats pure and call that end game, so be it, who are any of us to judge how another person plays the game?

Ever played a game with cheat codes on? It got stale very fast because everything was so damn easy and effortless. Just like curses + the inevitable level 80-85-90 gear that will eventually come to OSRS will make RS be. A fine medium to judge how a game can be played is to have a healthy and fair ceiling for both PvP and PvM. Remember afking Bandos for 40-50 kills a trip? A boss that's supposed to be end-game? Curses broke the game, easy as that. Now I have to admit that I also loved Soul split and all those naughty spec draining curses to make people rage in deep wild, but there is a limit to how powerful any given player should be for balanced fair fights in PvP and balanced amounts of kills in PvM. Also, Slayer + Soulsplit is a complete joke that will devalue Guthans and the SGS as high-end healing items to the ground...

Love the idea of some 80+ prayers.
however i dont think that exact quest should be implemented into runescape.
maybe some kind of Mournings end part 3 or Monkey madness 3 or some other epic questline that will give us something of the "turmoil" kind of prayer.
Atm everyone stops at 70prayer. with rigour implemented some rangers go to the distance of that level.

Support for the developing of the prayer level to bring more high level benefits.

I support this 100%. I completed this quest Just two weeks prior to the release of EOC and I was so frustrated that I never got to truly experiment with it, I feel like it was almost necessary to survive as a solo PKer in multi-combat areas in the Wild.
