New Skill

[RhondaLGilly]

someone mentioned elves saying something new. Maybe and this may be a stretch, it has to do with crafting. Expanding crating so we can make new items ourselves from gems and as for the P2P add in crystal sining so we dont have to continually go to the elves to get our crystal bows/shields/tellies/and such sung. Granted it could be a major gp investment to get to the levels needed for crystal singing. And it may be that the new el lands will open up for this part of the skill. With the Musicians stationed all around we would definately have to sork on our singing instruction so our voices would be better. Each musician having several leves of skills we need to pay for in one manner or another.

Just a thought that popped into my head when i read about elves saying different things. and the post about bards.

So many rumors and speculation it makes my head spin.

If I had to guess I would say Bard (yuck) because I remember a leaked image of a cape of accomplishment with a harp on the back. I do hope not though. Could you imagine training it? "
You play a fruity song on the fruit and gain 2 xp" I'd like to think it was a cape for unlocking all of the songs rather than a skill cape. I'll try to find an image and paste it here in a bit.

I ALSO FOUND THESE 0.o
i am fairly certain its sorta bs tho

I heard it's definitely a FTP & PTP skill, but I can't decide whether it would be a moneyspender or not. I heard many speculations that it will be a cash-draining skill since inflation in RS economy is massive. But there were also some convincing points that it might be a cash-making skill, one of which is that summoning (the most recent addition) was a cash-sink.

That cape looks so pretty! I'd want that, no matter how fruity the training is ;)

I vote for... well even along the already mentioned skill lines:
swimming

think of the possibilities

I'm going with Psycic skill.

As you progress through the lvl's you gain abilities to train your charicter while you are offline. EG: at lvl 85 you can set your char. to craft nature runes. Then while you are away it will rc natures (at a slow rate) to a maximum, dependant on your lvl.

Low lvl psycic would be stuff like sheep shearing.

I've always thought it seemed a bit more sane when hypothesizing the new skill by imagining Runescape as a farm. So, let's break it down:

1. You can fight things to defend your farm.
2. You can mine metals and smith them to reinforce tools and equipment.
3. You can fish food from the local pond and cook it as well as other ingredients.
4. You can build a house to live on the farm, as well as craft fine decorations.
5. You can grow things in the fields, and pray to the gods to keep you safe.
6. You can hunt the local wildlife, as well as use their essences to help your everyday routines.
7. You can fletch arrows for defending your farm, as well as craft runes to magically protect your things.
8. You can make fires to keep warm, and use local plants to help cure ailments and boost abilities.
9. You can steal things from your neighbors, and be agile enough not to get caught.

So, having lived on this farm for a while, what do you think is missing? That could very well be the new skill.

I'd love to see something like piracy, which ties into construction/crafting as far as building better ships goes. It would be an alternative type of pvp too. Higher levels could get you larger crews, better weapons (i.e. attach dwarf multi cannon). Would be interesting if this actually happened!
