The new skill! (Dungeoneering)

Bellicosity · Runite~Mon Jul 07, 2007 3:04 pm.

i'd be in favor of a "specials" skill. somewhat like a special attack improving skill that has applications in all other skills. similar to a type of magic or crafting, you'd need some ingredients to cast a special, as well as be limited by your special move bar, which scales together with your skill level. depending on the special move's level and usefullness it would consume more of your gauge. special bar has passive regen similar to how hp now works, new potions to restore it.

practical application:
level 55 mining focus instantly mine the target rock with a 50% success rate, provided you have the level to mine the ore it produces.
consumed: 15 SP, *other materials*
other levels of the skill have different success rates, SP costs, and material costs, etc.

level 40 thieving focus: for 1 minute yields from pickpocketing will be slightly increased
consumed: 10 SP

lv 9x constitution focus: for 30 seconds, 15% of damage you deal will be be applied to heal your life points. *all attacks will heal a minimum of 5 LP*
consumed SP: 75

lv 1 prayer focus: the next bone you bury will grant 5% extra exp. *a maximum of 10 extra exp can be gained from this skill*
consumed SP: 1

it would be similar to other games' skill trees, just runescapetized.

I like your idea Cooper... It would be interesting.
I really don't like how we arn't getting any clues though.

Same here, you would think they'd come out with a new dev blog or, more probably, a chaos something or other. I can't wait until the next chaos whatever, I love the clue hunt

I think part of the reason there haven't been any dev blogs is because the summoning one(s) over hyped everyone and thus the skill turned out even worse then it actually was. I think we might get a weeks notice (maybe a Twitter hint) if that.

Ya, they over hyped it and people didn't think it was worth it, maybe 1 dev blog and a twitter hint, maybe also a chaos elemental clue and that would be fine, but make the chaos elemental and twitter clue something that would lead us away from it being a new skill. And ya, I like your idea, could be it, but you never know.

There is no way that jagex would put a new skill as f2p. Reason being is that they want people to become members. And a good way to do that is to make a really exciting, new skill that people will want to try out. And then they'll make it members only.

Cheers, dafin0 :lol:

Exactly my thoughts/ Jagex is a money sink in itself. They wont make "The most amazing skill ever" F2p.

yes, it will be a free skill for sure but most likely with extra member benifits. For example take woodcutting.. It's a f2p skill but members get extra benifits such as the ability to cut magic trees

Of course there is going to be more benefits for members. I'd don't know a single skill that is f2p, but doesn't have benefits to members. That's the way it always works. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it turns out like Prayer that's impossible and expensive to train simply as f2p and members is more where Prayer is better trained.

800th post!

I think the new skill will be released in the next few month's, the Jag mod's are mentioning the new skill more and more, and they have been doing alot more work to the interfaces and loader's recently, As to what it is, who know's, it could be a money maker rather then a money waster, and they stated mid last year that it would be f2p, wich is what make's me think it could be a money maker, seeing as how the best way to make money in f2p would possibly be mining or wc, and they are quite slow money making method's, I just pray its a skill that doesn't involve combat.
(reason: im a skiller)

they have already said that it is going to involve combat. But they've also said it's going to involve "all" other skills. That's one of the reasons the bounus exp weekend took place.

Oh, well that stuff's me up, god ****, just what we need, another bloody combat skill

they have no consideration for skillers x]

I don't think that's the reason they did the bonus xp weekend. Should be fun finding out the what it is and how they are going to tweet about it.

Perhaps the new skill could be constitution??
