Where are the other questions in the poll? I am talking about voting out overpowered rewards and such things.

With this yes/no vote, everyone who is in doubt will vote no. Not everyone has read all the blogs.

Sailing has to pass first, then there will be a large poll for each individual item, this is because they only have a couple ideas right now and will invest more time into making sailing concepts for the next polls when it is certain the community wants sailing...

Isn't it common sense to add some general questions about how the skill should work starting with: If sailing passes, should ...
I know jagex is looking at the feedback of the community, but they aren't showing/communicating that enough. This is more or less the same issue as putting too much emphasis on the shipbuilding part in the training blog.

This is the time to check those vague ideas with the whole community (not just individuals like on the forum, twitter or reddit).

This is exactly the reason I voted no. Had I known there would be a second poll for rewards, I would have voted yes. Even including the information that there would be a second poll would have gotten a yes.

It's not too late, you can still reset your vote and go for the famous
YES

ok.....first of all I would like to say WHY DID YOU USE AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE AS A SKILL! xD second of all, you are going to introduce a lot of things into this game that are going to just turn it into a dumbed down less graphics version of rs3....in all honesty, that's exactly where this is heading. I get that the game needs to go forward, but to only change the names and slightly (if at all) change the looks of the item... not against it, I just hope its not an afkable skill as a good % of osrs is...

First of all, this is not something we have seen before in either games, if you are talking about dungeoneering... This is something entirely different, sailing will be all over the map unlike dungeoneering that was put into one place. And about the xp rates, there will be an afk method but this method will be very expensive and have low xp rates, the best xp would come from exploring the seas.

Also same with any new hides as new gems. give them a slightly different purpose so as not to disrupt the price of existing hides.

Examples:

Octopus hide = makes outfit that gives you extra set of arms on avatar

Shark hide armour = hybrid armour with no defense value

Turtle shell helmet = increased xp earned while killing sailing monsters

Whale teeth = added to barbtail harpoon adds chance for double catch.

Sea Shells = grind up and add to any potion for longer effects

Conch Shell Horn = Creates Cool sound effect that other players can hear and gives them temp boost to combat stats.

Hello i have a few questions: Is there any content for low-mid levels ? And could construction lvl somehow affect your ship building skill (atleast cosmetically) ? Am i able to go deeper into wilderness where it ends and sea starts ?

Yes, almost all content is accessible at all levels only locked behind your sailing level ofcourse.
However some ports will have quest requirements. I don't know much about your other 2 questions, sorry.

Will skillers be able to achieve 99 with minor struggles?
It has been confired that all combat is optional and you will get a warning if you are about to get combat exp, however you will miss out on some content and you might have slightly lower exp rates.
