I was just thinking about RS skills and realised there are no obvious choices for the next RS Skill. Though of course, I thought they were out when they released Slayer, but there you go. There's no other RPG's they can copy a skill off of, right (does WoW have any other skills RS doesn't)? We haven't really seen an 'item making' skill in a while (eg., crafting), excluding Construction because I don't think that really counts. Nor have we seen a skill that kinda takes from the lands resources, such as Mining or Fishing.

So maybe a skill like that - a skill that resembles some of the original RuneScape skills - is next. Then again, maybe Jagex hasn't released a skill like that because there aren't any. I don't know - I was almost thinking some kind of Leatherwork before I realised you do leatherwork in the crafting skill; though if they branched it out of there and added such features as tanning your own leather and creating more uses for leather, you could have a skill.

However that would be a damn boring skill. :\

I'm thinking shipmaking.

The originality is very slim.
But that makes the reward that much sweeter.
Im in hope for Stealth.

Eh, I could actually see that happening, or some skill along the same lines. Would probably be similiar in concept to Agility; maybe a kind of mix between Agility and Thieving, I dunno.

A mod described it as too "dark" but for what it's worth.
Anything is a possibility.

If you look at it the right way.
This game focuses on the younger kids, but everything has a deeper meaning.
The economy and so forth.
My point being, Jagex is bound to have someone deny and complain about it.

They probably get complaints about A LOT of stuff. I don't have the interest to make a list now, but there are a lot of stuff that really isn't appropriate for the "intended" age group in Runescape.

(does WoW have any other skills RS doesn't)?

Enchanting (Vastly more expansive than the little bits in Magic in RS) Jewelcrafting (Again, way more than Crafting) Skinning, Engineering (FUCKING AWESOME) and tailoring.

Engineering & Tailoring both sound plausible; Skinning perhaps, though I'd guess they'd only make it a part of Hunter. Jagex made Crafting too vast; if it wasn't so they could have about 5 other skills.

These skills aren't really an individual genre.
I was hoping for something unique

Parenthood.

Think training pets is tedious and pointless? Try raising kids! Get together with a friend that is a different gender and, if you are both 18 and over, witness the wonderful miracle of baby making*! Over the next nine hours spent logged on, the female character will steadily grow a bump-a bump of miracle. This next part favors the female players, as giving birth gives tons of xp, but there are dangers involved such as dying or having your skill points in fighting reduced for the next 4 hours logged on. Every baby born is actually a twin, so each parent can have their own child to raise! Raising a child is just like a pet, but your kids are more likely to run off and try to pickpocket a high level NPC! New options are in available for training, including hitting, but you receive more experience for being a better influence on your child, as all children are sold to desert traders once they reach the age of 18 and you get more gold for a healthier child. Make sure not to drink alcohol with your child following you, and try to avoid summoning a [kraken in a fishbowl] with your child in tow; they don't get along very well. Have fun!

*This part is members only, for free play there are adoption centers set up at every major city.


PSAedit- Due to the inability of the internet to display tangible sarcasm and the fact that there's that random 11 year old reading this crap, I must inform you that this post is not intended to be taken seriously. Go train a platypus or something. Much more rewarding than a kid.

Sure, and after we can branch off a sexual reproduction mini-game.
For the bi-curious.
