Re: 12/04/2010 - Dungeoneering Skill

Slayer, hailed by a large proportion of high levels as one of the best skills, could easily have been made as a simple minigame with complex rankings. similarly, even if you say there's a level of skill in that there are many runescape skills which to be perfectly honest don't really make sense, i mean honestly, why si mining rune harder than mining iron (options (a) rune is weaker, or (b) you need more strength)

Psychoboy8, and the TST, wrote:I think all the new metals, lumber, hides and fabrics should be released into RuneScape. However, you don't just solely require the skill level, you also require a level in Dungeoneering. Similar to how the Slayer skill prevents all players from collecting Abyssal Whips.

• Novite - Unlocked to the Smithing skill at level 1 Dungeoneering.
• Bathus - Unlocked to the Smithing skill at level 10.
• Marmaros - Unlocked to the Smithing skill at level 20.
(and so on)
• Tangle gum - Unlocked to Fletching at level 1.
• Seeping elm - Unlocked to Fletching at level 10.
• Blood spindle - Unlocked to Fletching at level 20.
(and so on)
• Protoleather - Unlocked to Crafting at level 1.
• Subleather - Unlocked to Crafting at level 10.
• Paraleather - Unlocked to Crafting at level 20.
(and so on)
• Salve nettle - Unlocked to Tailoring at level 1.
• Wildercress - Unlocked to Tailoring at level 10.
• Blightleaf - Unlocked to Tailoring at level 20.
(and so on)

With the exception of the first, the resources could be made available 5 levels below (or 4 in the case of the 11th tier/99 levelled items). So;
• Bathus Ore - Unlocked to Mining at level 5.
• Marmaros Ore - Unlocked to Mining at level 15.
• Seeping elm - Unlocked to Woodcutting at level 5.
• Blood spindle - Unlocked to Woodcutting at level 15.
• Submastyx - Unlocked to Hunter at level 5.
• Paramastyx - Unlocked to Hunter at level 15.
• Wildercress - Unlocked to Farming at level 5.
• Blightleaft - Unlocked to Tailoring at level 15.

Placing the resources will probably be the hardest. However, there's plenty of unused land to stick a few dinosaurs (like east of the Duel Arena - bit strip of unused land). The tailoring resources are weeds which could grew anywhere as well as being farmed - like flax. And trees... well, they're all creepers in Daemonhiem - so the same could be said outside. Also - we have loads of areas filled with trees purely for decoration (since unused by players); replace some!

As for other places to train - duh! Jublex promised us instances ages ago, and they've finally delivered! All they need to do is pick a new location, send in the makeover mage, and duh-dah!

Along with the Dungeons of Daemonheim; Lagoons of Tukaii of the south coast of the Khazari Jungle, and the Seige of Fort Amontine north-west of Piscatoris (made up places of course). Lagoons are submerged and fills with mere-people, and aquatic creatures (RuneScape's atlantis); the Fort filled with cursed knights and paladins (like Daemonheim only more medieval England).

Of course, we don't want 11 new tiers of armour with each one. I'd say... ditch two-thirds of the stegosauruses for some aquatic theropsides and some raptors. The raptors could easily be placed in daemonheim, so they're only losing a third of their armoury. That is, unless you fill the pools with baby water-ones that can be net-hunted.

Then, maybe a third of the lumber for water-based trees (both land-instances can use the same land-trees). Of course, again, putting the water-based things in land-based instances is hard... I guess the trees could be growing over the edges of the pools?

Water World isn't an all-underwater instance as some of the sections are dry, so the visa verse - putting the land-based resources there - isn't conplicated at all.

Are you suggesting this as a new skill?

Is it really justifiable to make it a new skill if it can fit into crafting?



I agree I would love the ability to make some of this gear outside of RS.

For smithing, depending how much of it they would release, is almost the exact think i would want out, (make level 99 armor!)

Of course a problem would be how this would effect combat outside of RS...with so many new things*****, even with the smithable prometh... i belive are still better in stats, and clearly better for special.

Psychoboy8, and the TST, wrote:Tailoring can either be a new skill or a sub-skill of Crafting (like it has Weaving, etc, already).

I don't think it's effects would be negative on combat. Novite and Bronze are on par with each other, and Bronze offers a wider variety, so it's purely a choice of appearance. And once players have accustomed themselves with the scale (like, which colours are high and low) then in that sense everything will be normal.

Perhaps tier 9-11 could be given special attacks, perhaps even the same special attack only increasingly more powerful. This would make them desirable over the many better kits out there. Dungeoneering Dagger - "Jack of Blades", the player draws a circle in the air with the dagger and a halo of daggers forms around the target... and you can guess what happens now. The number of daggers increases with tier (so 9=3, 10=4, 11=5), and the minimum damage the special causes is increased. As I mentioned above the Dungeoneering set is smaller, so the amount of specials required won't be massive.

^{Dungeoneering style, not like Taverly dungeon.}
