Is this for RS 2007? If so PLEASE do not do it by adding skills that dilute the value of people's hard earned xp. These are the kinds of changes that destroyed the current RS. With the possible exception of bringing in the GE I'd prefer you just leave it alone.

By far the stupidest idea for a skill ever. All it is is double xp for total xp. Unlike slayer which only gives 1/4 the combat xp, artisan gives full xp. Also, it is the most weighted skill i have ever seen. People with four skills 74+ will go to the highest level master, and get high xp tasks. They will then get level 1-20 artisan in the course of a single task. Each master should have a required artisan level.

This isn't a new skill, its just doing the same skills in short bursts. Absolutely no support whatsoever.

I like the idea of further customization with clothing, but I'm sure that could be added without the addition of the artisan skill. My main issue is the "rewards" which mainly serve to make the rest of the game easier. This is not EasyScape, and it's unfair to devalue the hard work of others by making it easier for newer, less experienced players (at least in certain skills) to gain xp.

I will be voting no.

Pretty much what the majority of the other players have said here.

Even if oldschool needs a new skill, which personally I don't think it does, this is most certainly not it.
Adding a skill for a new skill's sake. Recycled outdated task system.

Will be voting no.

Jagex.. what the hell are you doing? They're a reason people are flooding to "Old School" Runescape. Its because they hate the updates you've let ruin the game. Quit trying to fix things that are not broken.

Old School RS should be left the way it is. The people love it for what they grew up with. Not this constantly Updated throw together rubbish. LEAVE IT ALONE.

Without a doubt in my mind Voting: NO NO NO NO NO.

Like others, I don't really feel like OS needs a new skill so I was skeptical when the skill was first mentioned, but this update is making it sound a little better. I'm still skeptical, but here is my feedback on what has been posted:

Artisan points
- It sounds like you would only be able to use these to block or customize your tasks. What happens when you get more points than you know what to do with and you've already customized your tasks to perfection? Please add something else to spend the points on so that we are not stuck with a ton of points that do nothing.

Artisan crafting task items
- As for the doom rune, I can't see a spell it would be useful for besides teleblock and that is only ever useful for pking... so I have to wonder why a benefit for pkers is being included for a skiller's skill if so many people were against other combat based-benefits being included. I think an astral-nature or astral-law combo would be a lot more fitting. That said, the other items you've listed sound good, but for such an all-encompassing skill I hope there will be significantly more than you listed. I don't see anything at all for farming, for instance. In my opinion, every non-combat skill should be included and should have a reasonable amount of content on release because post-release, skills are neglected and never get content in batches again. (If your concept of the skill can be done in one release batch, you probably almost certainly do not have enough content. Even summoning was severely lacking on release (unfortunately still is!) and it had multiple batches.)

Misc feedback
- Please take this golden opportunity to incorporate items which do not currently have a use, or do not currently have a good use outside of quests. Such items include but are not limited to: polished buttons, marigolds, willow branches and rosemary but I'm sure there are MANY others to work with.

This idea for a new skill doesn't really grab my attention, and it seems as if it is a quick attempt to just fill a need for more content with no true purpose. As well I'm very wary of adding much to OSRS. The only reason I am a member currently is for OSRS, and as a long-term RS member I hope mine and many others voice will be respected and heard.

It's very apparent you are the minority who wants the game to stay the way it was in 2007, otherwise the majority wouldn't be voting yes to new content. Keep those comments to yourself because they are a lie.

With that said, I don't know if I want Artisan in the game. I'd love to see even more 'Artisan revisited' threads in the future, I like to see what Jagex can come up with as well even if it won't pass.
