Better, but still NO

I will re-iterate the most resounding comment: Warding does not require its own skill.
Thank you for the diagrams, amendments have cleaned up the process a lot to the point it is publishable content. However it still does not have the fundamental integrity of a skill.
Vis as a concept will not float in OSRS, you cannot create a skill on the basis of dissolving items. If you would like to do this, there are more creative ways to include it in other skills: Ie, re-forging, old armour can be smelted into cannonballs.

Don't create new skills in OSRS. Ideas for skills have become quite thin.


I'll address this update in full like last time:

Amour
Good, this table is overdue for something that went to polls the next day.
The names of the silk are a bit...eccentric? Ok, Moonfly silk? Riiiiiight.
A more 2007 rendition is below, following proper silk names:

Noil (Raw silk)
Mulburry (Common silk)
Dupion (Courser double threaded silk)
Charmeuse ("Regular" silk)
Georgette (Fine, heavier silk)
Brocade (Very fine embroidery silk)

It might be also worth mentioning that Medieval European silk was known as "Gauze Silk". A little research saves you having to invent words.

Pado Set: No - Very specific use, why don't god vestments offer this bonus? Bin it.
Arceuus Robes - Yes, requirements are silly but the cosmetic could enter the game.
Thaumaturge - Increased spell attack speed should not come from armour. Bin it.
Bark armour - Bloodbark yes, Soulbark no. Mage armour has the structural integrity of confetti. Soulbark has too high a def bonus and does not sound like a tree name like "split bark"
Dagon'Hai - I suppose? I would wait for a better opportunity to introduce these.
Thammaron - On the fence. The stats don't seem right. Very high risk set.
Astral - Dead content. Maybe add Runecrafting benefits?

_-Continued Below -_

Imbues
There needs to be an alternative method for imbues, but a warding focused minigame? Don't get your hopes up.

Skilling rings
I'm surprised these as a concept survived the review, they add very little to the game but could be specific boss or player made rewards. Via warding? Big no.

Repairing/Combine essence pouches
Ok this is a necessary QoL update, don't bundle it with warding. Reparation magic is an interesting thought though.

Elemental Tombs
Hard NO. This is mess with the economy and make spell casting less rune centric. Elemental runes must be viable in game, Tomb of Fire and the Mystic combined element staves are supposed to be rarer in game items.

Magic incantations
Interesting thought. I like it. Pure mage could find use for the ammunition slot.

Antipoison Lamp
No. Add this effect to the prayer book you get from Mos Le Harmless. Make it a wieldable book with a prayer bonus and have a spec/effect that curves poison/venom.

Elemental Rune Pouch
No

Large Rune Pouch
Yes

Wilderness Rune Pouch
What...? No.

Thank you again for working through this. Please do not put warding into the game, there's plenty of good content that was mentioned for this update that is worth exploring in another context.

Vote No to Warding.

I have read a few threads about warding on the forums. Most of the times the person that created the thread did not even have 1000 total level. Yes this is important . I am sorry but I do not think people with low total lvls like that should be able to make such a big impact to the game.

People around the ages of 10-16 will vote yes because of course new is exciting and people that age get easily bored . For how long will they be playing the game though?

In December a lot of players came back through the OSRS application , myself included . Most of us that returned are over 20 years old. We stopped for a reason back then because of EOC . OSRS especially should not try to become something that it is not.

Old school is and will be supported by the old fan base . It will never gain massive popularity among the younger generations so do not try to do that, because it is going to lose it΄s core demographic .

DO NOT FORGET YOUR LOYAL FANBASE

Voted No!

There seem to be many new ways of creating and developing stuff, regarding to the mage section.

Still, is seems a boring skill, nothing Special. not worth imbuing it into the game!


Sorry, but a NO, from me.

@ X Snowy ,

Well thought out post. I like your ideas.



@ Pelekanoss ,

I totally agree with your summation of the OSRS demographic.



@ Attus ,

Same here. I voted a straight ticket of "
NO
".

I agree that I'm not interested in something lack-luster that I am expected to want to grind out.
Let's Take It Back Old School,
Runescape
!

Gonna come back to osrs from my break and buy a bond just to vote NO on this crap.

With the amount of mixed responses this bullshit skill is getting, it won't pass the 75% threshold needed to pass the vote.

Did you read that, pro-ward noobs? THIS ISN'T GONNA PASS.

GET USED TO IT.

Noobs? You're the noob for cheating the polls. That's just a fact.

"wwwaaaaaaaaaahhh someone's ecksursizing their right to vote they must be cheattinggg"
