YOU SHOULD POLL THE SAILING SKILL IN PARTS! PEOPLE MIGHT LIKE THE IDEA OF SAILING BUT NOT THE IDEA OF CERTAIN ASPECTS. FIRST POLL WHETEHER OR NOT SAILING SHOULD BE ADDED(add that details of the skill will be polled for if the skill makes it in)


This is going to happen, at least for new game changing items.

The sailing skill does seem awesome.

I'm just worried about the healing effect on the necklaces, I don't think this is needed!
The necklaces are good enough just being best in slot.

Adding healing effects to non weapons is going to make it easier to camp bosses.


they should stop adding new "best in slot *" for a while. we got the new boots already.

After reading this over, I think my vote for sailing as a skill would be no.
I feel sailing would be better as a big update to construction more than a skill and I hope you would consider polling this as a construction update if it fails as a skill.
I also enjoy the idea of gemstone dragons and think they would be fun!

Some ideas if made for a construction update:
Construction levels for building in new ports, and building ships. It could be a way to make money off construction instead of being a HUGE money sink, and an alternate way to level construction.
The type of boat we have could determine how many different ports we could travel to, as well as which ports we could travel to.

I do hope we get a new skill. I've been playing Runescape since the days of 'pixilated line weapons, fatigue, and no elbows' classic and I usually enjoy most of the updates that come out. I just don't think sailing is the way to go for a new skill.

On the minimap there is a black area just west of frozen plateau and north of gwd. Make it so at higher sailing level one would be able to sail just north of the trollweiss mountain (barly below wilderness) and enter a another entrance to gwd. this was unknown and hidden Gielnors many adventures. Inside we discover nex and a new quest unlocking zaros prayers and the lore behind nex and why the map has allways had a black square on it there etc etc. i think many in the community want to see nex and its rewards.

I get a bad feeling about this skill. I think I'm going to vote no.


Was that a reason or an excuse?

@ Mod John C can you atleast make the melee amulet weaker than fury but with a tiny chance of healing.. it seems silly to make such an Over-Powered amulet it'll unlikly pass the poll due to it making Guthans pointless and making Fury lose alot of it's value if you do not decide to do that instead atleast make the amulet degrade or it'll just become the most overpowered item in game.

Also
@ Mod John C

Can we see some designs of maybe how you exspect the cape to turn out with different colour designs in the future so we can all comment saying which we prefer :P I know it might be to early but it's so exciting to see what idea's you have in mind :D

Can I make a suggestion :P ?

Cyan cape with maybe a red or orange trim :D I personally think red though :P

I know the capes to early, once again..but...

Can you blame me :D I want to see the design of the logo slapped upon a cape to see what our future cape might end up looking like :D .
