One of the things that I really like about sailing is the fact it doesn't exist. I like the idea of it being a long running joke - and putting it in game kind of ruins that joke. Besides, it's more of a minigame than a skill.
This sounds like it will be a blast. I look forward to future news about it. My question to any of the JMods is will we be able to venture to the Eastern Lands and if so, what is the depth of exploration and lore we will be exposed to? IIRC, the Old Crone you meet in a quest or two in Morytania mentions something about not being able to read the language from the people in the Eastern Lands. If we are able to access the Eastern Lands, perhaps Ak-Haranu, the NPC who sells bolt racks at the Port Phasmatys docks, could play a role in linking the cultures.
Also, what level of integration do you plan on having with the ships? Will we be able to bring friends along, train fishing off of our boat to catch things like Marlin, Crabs, and Flounder, and do quests which are heavily sea based?

Despite a lot of comments being negative about this skill, I don't think it's bad at all. It seems like a fun exploration skill, and there's a lot of potential for this idea. I will be looking forward to further dev blogs!

Great news!!
PS: I don't understand the hype of dunge - the rewards would never pass the polls, as they would be too OP, and I find the skill rather boring. Currently trying to get 120 dunge on RS3, and my god, what am I happy I will never have to do that on my choob on OSRS, lol.
I think that this skill will offer a lot more interesting stuff than dunge ever did. Summoning, on the other hand, I could understand. Having a BoB would be really helpful.
I think it's a terrible idea. You guys really want to ruin everything don't you. Why do you think most of us switched to OldSchool? It's because we liked the way it was. Please for the sake of us all, do not put this new skill in Runescape.
i guess with a name like "quest luke" i can't help but expect a response like that l0l

I love how everybody crys over this because it's such a huge change a new skill.. oh no this could make max cape harder.. oh no this could be to big of an update.. you guy's forgetting Zeah's coming out so why worry about it being a big update.
The point in the skills for more exploring within' a skill so you can go to lands u can't get to atm only the locations u can get to at the right levels.. which in my opinion is quite smart and a good skill because it has quite a good point in existing it gives us new content which will attract new players and will bring back old players it's good for the community voting no on such an update has to be thought on properly.. do you like the skills idea what it does and how you do it? If so vote yes. If you don't want anything to change you're going to want to read about 2016 updates because Zeah is much bigger update than a new skill.
Please guy's start relising Mod Ronan isn't writing this thread just to troll you guy's the idea of it was on poll suggestions for ages getting alot of good feedback way more wanted it now it's almost a chance you guy's push it away because of such a tiny change?
I personally think this could of the best update so far.
Please don't quote or anything just to rant just trying to help people relise this has alot more than just an old suggestion that never got into the polls it is something players have wanted for years.. it's new content that'll increase the amount of players and could lead to new places to train, new training methods that involve every skill.. think about it how far could this skill go?
Thank you for reading this I think I made my point.
I'll be voting yes
I support this idea after seeing it on so many poll suggestions every single month.
