Lunar_Drifter Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 [hide=Crafting Ideas]Have you ever wondered why you cannot make wooden shields? Probably not.. but I have. I thought to myself today, "Why can't we fletch wooden shields?" and "Why should the Fletching skill only make ranging things?" While these may seem like legitimate questions, lets look at the real definition of "Fletch": Fletch (v)- To attach feathers to an arrow, so as to stabilize it. Now.. that doesn't really fall into the category of shied making... so, I looked at what other skills it could be included under, and what other choice.. Crafting, of course! Now, why would someone want to make a wooden shield? Darned if I know. But it's merely a small issue with the inability to make them. Why shouldn't we be able to craft our own wooden shields? But, this isn't limited to wooden shields only. This also applies to other things made from wood. Mayhaps we could craft our very own spear shafts, fishing poles, harpoons, lobster pots; anything from wood! There may not be a wide audience for such an update, but it most assuredly would give the game a more diverse and complete feeling to me, and -I'm sure- to others. This idea has not been completed because it is up to us, the Tip.It community, to come up with more ideas for this. More items, levels, experience rates and whatever else may come. *EDIT 1* So, what we'll be able to make is: Wooden Shields Spear Handles Fishing Poles Harpoons Lobster Pots Axe and Pickaxe handles Bird Snares (right term?) Rakes Spades Nosepegs Slayer Staffs (possibly) Hammers Knives [/hide] [hide=Herblore Ideas]So for Herblore, your main goal is to pick and identify various herbs to make potions with, right? Well.. what if we could pick and identify the various fungi, plants, and flowers strewn about Runescape? This would add a more complete feeling to the game. To be fair, these wouldn't give a great amount of experience, and wouldn't be used for making potions. Rather, the fungus could be eaten. If not properly identified, however, it could be hazardous to your health. Flowers could be picked and used for decorative "weapons".[/hide] And a Supporters List 001)Lunar_Drifter 002)ThruItAll 003)mirjahasan 004)MasterSamus 005)RpgGamer 006)Prankster_King 007)NJE03 008)25leaf 009)Theoknight2 010)Sworddude198 011)PastyGangsta 012)Mortifyer1 013)Mayjest 014)Ashlyn_Hart 015)scruff636b 016)harrinator1 017)ortiz9471 018)killerred005 019)life_mage12 020)l0rdbarney 021)flava0falcon 022)vesuvius27 023)Hpk_1 024)Ray0xide 025)dippymister 026)blurite44 027)Natasa777 028)The_Bacon_man ~Lunar Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad!

Theoknight2 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 add me to support but it would also be cool if we could make wooden statues inside your house ( have a build guardian place or something in garden) and you could carve wooden statues or make em with limestone and marble and stuff like that. Or make wooden armor too... bring fire arrows into pking :D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortifyer1 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 To tell you the truth, before I read anything and saw the title I thought it may be a silly idea, but reading it I was impressed. I have thought of this before, and would like to see that happen. It is a good idea, I support it. 1/= '/0(_) C4/\/ R34D 7H15 7H3/\/ '/0(_) J(_)57 G07 />\/\//\/7!!!!!!!!!! http://sig.runeweb.net/sig/12/Mortifyer1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayjest Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I like the idea, but it runs into complications when it comes to making the chisel. I mean, what exactly is a chisel made of? it can cut diamonds - the hardest substance known to man - easily. You character clearly puts hardly effort in to it. Would the chisel be made out of a wooden handle, an iron/steel chisel bit and then diamond tipped? Or is that needlessly being pedantic? Seriously, I like the idea. But would they all be made out of wood or would other materials be required as well? Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

scruff636b Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 How bout a 'Buckler' Instead of Wood Shield?, Just instead of gloves Also, Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar_Drifter Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 @Mayjest => Nobody said anything about making a chisel.. did we? And yes, they would probably require other materials for some of them. Like.. string for rods, a head for pickaxes and rakes. Those could be made with smithing. And string.. hm.. still Crafting, but maybe flax for that? Meh.. @scruff636b => I think we should stick with the original idea of the wooden shield. Possibly we could include or rename it a buckler, but keep it in the shield spot. Putting it as a glove would allow one to wield both a buckler and a normal shield.. not really possible if you think about it. I see where you might be coming from, though. Maybe it could be like a 2H sword, which doesn't allow for wielding a shield with it. You could possibly have a buckler with the 2H sword, seeing as that doesn't really require a free hand to use and doesn't weigh much. Also, shields would be incompatible with it, except for Defenders. Whew.. now to add to the supporters. Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

I think I'll need more supporters to continue further with the idea and figure experience rates and levels requirements.

l0rdbarney Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 ya like u said, this is a rather insignificant update since those are such uncommon items, although it would be easier for members to go fishing and not have to run all the way to a fish store or sumthing -i suppose it would be a nice little update i support pure:demon_x_king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
