The Next New Skill

Hells Sponge · **Posted:** September 28th, 2008, 10:41 am

What do you think the next new skill on RS will be? I have gathered some of the major ideas from the general population, and I got the following:

-Archeology
-Science
-Engineering
-Sailing
-Knowledge
-Necromancy

Or others.

Any opinions?

Imo, I'm going to have to pick sailing. Idk how it would work or even if it's a possibility, but out of everything sailing is the one I've heard the most hype over, and usually hype hints at something.

I'd have to pick science since in Betrayal at Falador has a character that is obsessed with science, and hates magic.

I think science would be the only one that would really work, it would be a sort of herblorish type skill.

i don't agree with sailing because then jagex has to make oceans ect. but ill probally go with science (goes wih herblore kinda) and egineering (goes with construction kinda)

I personally don't see how sailing could be it's own skill. Idk tho, I haven't put too much thought into it. I think that Engineering would be the best skill to add next. Could make stuff such as explosives, contraptions, and new tools to help with the other skills.

I can't really imagine any of these being skills.
Some are too similar to other skills in Runescape. [Science is close to Herblore, Engineering is close to Construction]

I think they're running out of ideas; summoning wasn't that great.

Instead of herblore WoW has herbalism and alchemy. There's also skinning, leatherworking, jewelcrafting and tailoring instead of crafting. Maybe spliting certain skills would create a better market .. maybe not.

I'd like to see a better way to get around Runescape, but teleporting has that covered. Perhaps some sort of combat efficiency that I haven't thought of yet #-o

Archaeology and Necromancy sound interesting .. Engineering as well.
