Mmmm, i'm still not happy with it.

Redundancy is the big one. All of these incentives can fit into the current skills we have. I'm all for skills revamps. I'm not for arbitrarily adding a new skill that apparently serves no purpose (aside from being a glorified task system). We can have all these incentives without artisan. I'm sure I'd support plenty of them being added. But I'm not going to support adding in a skill for no readily apparent reason other than to, well, have a new skill. It's almost as though artisan is being added to be as transparent as possible - a non skill, if you will. A skill should do something, bring some sort of benefit. Artisan seems to exist for no purpose other than to exist as a skill.

The randomised nature of a task system is the next one. Dead content is dead for a reason, and the solution is not to randomly force a player to use it.

Finally, junk. With a randomised task system we'll be seeing an increase in stuff that's already completely dead market wise. That'll eat more into any profitability artisan was still clinging on to.

I elaborated a bit more here if you want to read it

In the crafting part of the artisan skill you won't be asked to make any already existing items, so you don't need to worry about making junk. All the items you will be asked to craft will be brand new. The difference between most other skills being used to make items and this one is that you need to use other skills as well as your artisan skill to make an item which will in turn help you level your other skills.

EDIT:

I like the idea, it's pretty nice... but i just don't feel like OSRS should have a new skill... I'm sorry i am going to vote no.

Why is that?

That's mildly better.

Artisan's still redundant though. Skill synergy exists (think that blessed hatchet in animal magnetism) but has been quite chronically underused in my opinion. We don't need an arbitrary placeholder skill to mediate the process. Sailing

It just doesn't feel like OSRS need a skill... don't get me wrong i love OSRS and i love the updates you guys are coming up with, it's making OSRS so much better, but i just don't want a new skill, maybe in a few years... I am personally just not ready. What are you, a concerned beaver?

When will the poll for it start?

The poll will start when the community is happy with where artisan is. I doubt you'll see it for a few week's yet.

@ Mad Kim, give it a chance they're really trying to make this as good as they can. They won't even poll it untill we decided/tell them it's ready to be polled.

@ Mod Mat K, the idea so far is pretty nice - but what would happen just in the scenario that the vote will fail? What about all these ideas & time spend into this?

slayer master typo?

Using your resources
Once you have collected your resources and have received your artisan XP you will have the option of asking the artisan for another gathering assignment or a crafting assignment. If you choose another gathering assignment, your slayer master will give you one and you can keep the resources you have already gathered.
