Artisan is gonna be sweet, if your saying it would be useless than your pretty much saying Slayer is useless... Which it most certainly is not! Artisan is going to keep that Oldschool feel, while at the same time breathing life into OsRS!
I also enjoyed reading Forestry and I think it could be really cool, but honestly Its quite similar to dungeoneering and I think would be better suited as a minigame, plus we would be looking at a ton of bugs, and it would take a while to crank out which is understandable...
I do think its important for everyone to really understand the skills! I think it should of been required for the finalists to presented a video before we voted. Some of them were quite long reads, and I'm sure lots of people skimmed over them.
I'm really excited for a new skill, and this is really going to be awesome. I have already started thinking of cool cape colors

Original message details are unavailable.
Herding wouldn't involve chasing animals that much, especially with the border collies, a few have mentioned that though its my mistake for not being clearer
The challenging part is raising them, which is much more like farming then hunter.
I wouldn't say the rewards are useless
Cow hides over 300gp ea
Goat horns over 250gp ea
Unicorn horns over 1k ea
Hogskin for pures
Buffalo skin for mains
Bison cloak for higher level mains
Wildebeest arrows which would probably 350-400 ea
Hellhounds for level three scrolls
Babydragon bones for prayer
And the rings for agility, shofar for clan calling, the list goes on. Herding has some great rewards I think. Not just being biased, I like forestry very much as well. Heck, all of these could be implemented even if some where mini games or added as an extension to another skill, they could all benefit OS imo
Cowhides and goat horns are pretty useless though mate and people rarely ever need that. Killing a cow to get hide will be easier and goat horns are not used as far as I know anyways?
Unicorn horns - will be devalued if you get loads here, but also would be a time waste if you don't, tough one.. But not worth level'ing past 25 and not many even want horns really
The skins - just for increasing accuracy though as far as I can see, I might be missing something here.
Babydragon bones - Most people level'ing prayer just use Dragon hehe
Cape - Sure, but you only need 1?
bit of a waste in my opinion just to get 1 cape to get to lvl 85.
The issues I see though:
1- not enough here to make remotely worth level'ing
2- bad rewards across the board
3- you'd be level'ing in the wildy for 99% of the xp; the actual herding side of it that is..
The rings are more a compromise with run energy and resting really, would be useful yes... But that shouldn't be a reason to level herding, just for an "agility" buff really.

Cow hides are used to craft that's why their so expensive, goat and unicorn horns are used for herblore. I wish they were useless then I could buy em and level up faster lol.
They are far from useless, and that's how they retain their price. Getting them through Herding wouldn't devalue their price if done right.
A zamorak book only has accuracy but look how much it's used and how expensive and sought after it is.
As well, these are the lower level rewards. As you progress you then can get strong arrow heads, clue scrolls, hides for great crafting xp and finally the cloak and fur.
People only use dragon bones because their the easiest to get.
If this is all useless so is herblore, woodcutting, hunter, and farming.
This skill would be very profitable and far from useless but i'll respect your opinion mr Dusk Evil
