Why devalue Arcane , although its BIS the new Magic DFS will be the better choice.
You increased Seers ring, so increase the magic strength or damage % a little to arcane, its already old enough to deserve an update.

Amazing! Everything just about right. Awesome ideas and plans, as an experienced player really looking forward to the new wyverns and new mining method, the skill needs a bit of variety and there it is! Very creative, interesting and balanced developments coming in!

Not bad, feedback:

The Volcanic Mine: XP Rates are OK, except for the level 85 part. This makes it a bit too good when compared to Blast Mining. I recommend giving it similar xp rates, around 60k xp per hour at level 85 Mining, and capping around 70k xp per hour at level 99.

Hardwood Farming: Teak Farming seems fine, but why level 55 for Mahogany? It just seems a bit odd, that's all. Should be level 50 Farming.

Ancient Wyverns: 66 is too low of a requirement. Since Granite Boots are between Rune (80) and Dragon (83), the Slayer Req should be somewhere around 82. While the Granite items are fair, I think the shield you offer is too strong for even an 82 Slayer req (it should also serve as a DFS item sink). The Combat Level of the Ancient Wyverns should also therefore be raised above 140, to 166. Someone awhile back suggested locking them behind an additional requirement of Agility. Around 82 Agility would suffice.

Caution: Make sure that the xp rates are not too OP for multi-skill training methods. You did a good job with Blast Mining (moderate Mining + little Firemaking XP), so use that as your model. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

As the mods have said on Reddit, the Wyverns at 66 Slayer are not Ancient Wyverns.
These may be added later, at higher req.

They will consider additional monsters if the idea itself passes.

Standard Wyverns aren't ancient & their drops are, as you can see, far less than from a Skeletal.

i believe the wyverns should be at a higher slayer req like 80s or 90s unless you going for the undead is stronger thing.
but if the wyvern survive in an area where all else is dead then they must be strong.no?

also you should add more options on your polls yes or no is not enough when u agree with the content but not the requirements or stats it gives for people like me who dont venture into the forums very often and i would think im not the only one.
alot of updates seem to get lower req and faster exp and just easy in general.

Don't know, I never look at Reddit and couldn't care less about it honestly, I just use the forums. They should be paying attention to us Old Schoolers instead of some Reddit children.

I'll have a look though.

Edit: Can't even figure out where this information is... Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

1) First of all, that shield looks sick. Although, the magic attack should be nerfed to about 12-15, in exchange for ranged defense. The drop rate of the visage should be 1/10k. The shield should protect against dragonfire, and be charged with dragonfire/icebreath of wyverns instead of fossils. The new wyverns should be buffed and the slayer requirement should be 80-82. Makes no sense for it to be so low. Everyone is saying this and I definitely agree.

2) I'm interested the mining minigame, although there should be more incentive for us to play since the xp rates are fairly average and this isn't something afk like MLM

3) I like the idea of the farming, both on land and underwater.
