I had a big thinking moment which skill would fit in 'the best' on Oldschool Runescape, judging by how they fit into the Middle Ages or the Medieval times.

Artisan - I would not describe this as a skill but rather a bunch of tasks which requires other skills, however it could aswell be a fun addition to Oldschool Runescape.

Astronomy - I think that Astronomy fits very well into the Medieval theme, however it just doesn't sound fun enough

Forestry - This sounds like a very big and advanced skill, could aswell be a minigame, protecting a forest just isn't Runescape.

Geomancy - In a sense this sounds like summoning from RS3, with a twist.
And I didn't like that addition at all in Runescape

Herding - Now this is to be straight, a lame skill, just nope.

However, in some aspects, they all are related to the Medieval theme, which might make an interesting addition, but speaking for most of the players, we do NOT like a change most of the time.

Make a no new skill option please. I'm not a party pooper, I just want OSRS to be the same it used to be. Skills presented here are well elaborated but honestly, I think the hole game needs fixing before adding anything. By everything, I mean EVERY! why? If you look at the game in general, it's incoherent. Construction skill? Just buy the stuff and use your crafting / smithing already! Smithing? You got the lvl to work adamant but you need 2 more lvls to do a arrows? Why not have a % of failure just like in agility when you don't have the right lvl? Teleports with magic (in all books) are... too few. why not make teleports that cost runes with the home teleport system of RS3? I don,t see why Jagex couldn't give a hand to runecrafters. Agility? Not enough shortcuts in the world of RS, and most of them required a too high lvl for what it seems to ask of. Cooking? People only fight with fishes. Make high culniar art a better HP reward? Mining guild? Please remove skill lvl required and make people pay to enter if they don't have the lvl. Dwarves like gold don't they? ... I could go on with the list.

How about a skill that is linked to the theiving and agility skill: I call it sneak/stealth i prefer stealth.

this skill would be used to possibly pass by agressive monsters, delayed and eventually no detection on another players mini-map, getting into areas in which some npc's will not let you in(shanaty pass for one) nothing that will interfere with quest required locations though.

hiding from monsters-There would be scenery that a player could hide behind and manuever from cover-to-cover kind of like how you do it in the game dishonored if you have ever played that. you can train by doing this aswell, naturally you wont be able to hide from certain monsters until certain levels and it only applies to aggressive monsters. for example an aggressive skeleton might be a level one stealth monster so you can hide behind debris,bushes,furnature...really anything there available. the monster can indeed find you and how frequently is based on your level and the requirment elvel to hide from the monster, you can divert its attention by throwing a rock or something but you must then move. and when you are out of the monster's range you will then gain the appropriate xp.

entering areas(passing al-kar gate without toll or conversation for another) the example above would porbably be the level 1 ability, you can train by repeating this kind of like agility. you need some sort of stick to jolt over the fence really quickly or if the skill shall take a different direction, throw a rock at the guard and sneak past quick.

hiding from players-this cannot be a training method, just a reward and you start to shorten the range your opponent can see you at level 70 until 99 and you are invisable on map. you can hide from players behind objects at level 80 and not appear on map when doing so.

the skill can aid in theiving by making you more succeesful in theiving abilities and some stealth abilities will require an agility and theiving req.

hows that? :P

If these skills are not your style take a look at my skill. It is a stand-alone skill that is fully developed. Take a read if you are interested. I will warn you, it is a bit lengthy because it is fully fleshed out.

i voted artisan only because I have wondered why we had slayer and no skill like slayer for skillers. having said that I think artisan is a fairly weak skill in its own right.

being I liked per EOC I would love to see summoning back. not a huge fan of dungoneering thought it was a minigame at best.

I love the idea of adding a skill I just think that this was rushed and seems they are looking at skills that will take less work to incorporate. I understand time is money but we pay to play too.
