New Generation Skills

[rune2ology]

My idea is actually a large groups of new ideas including a possible new, expansion of current skills, and more. Sorry it can't be as fancy as other suggestions. Fell free to agree or disagree with my ideas and if you do, make sure you disagree without flaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first part of my idea is a new generation of skills which actually is higher levels of the current skills. The highest skill limit should be moved to 199 and the levels 100-199 would use a new set of equipment to gain experience and activities used to gain experience in levels 1-99 will be reduced to encourage people to stop using the basic skills (level 1-99) and start using the newer higher level skills. Examples of the second generation of the skills would include earlier versions of guns (muskets, etc.) for Ranging, matches and spark flints for Firemaking, steam-powered drill for Mining, steam-powered chainsaw for Woodcutting, and more complex recipes for higher chance of success without burning food for Cooking. The steam-powered tools would require water, wood, and a way to start a fire to further benefit higher levels of Firemaking. The steam-powered tools would even speed up the collecting process of Mining, Woodcutting, and other skills. The new complex cooking recipes for better quality foods would require that you have a cookbook with the appropriate card with the recipe you wish to cook in your inventory. In order to start the second generation skills, you would require to complete a special quest for Professor Oddenstein which is in the next part of my idea and to have at least level 80-99 depending on the skill but changing to the next generation skill earlier would still require you to go through the levels you missed to continue on with further levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second part of my idea is a way these futuristic inventions came to Runescape. As always, Professor Oddenstein was messing with his machine. Denath sent a group to spy of Professor Oddenstein as helpers or assistants to "help" perfect his machine. When Professor Oddenstein was about to try out the machine when it is near completion for Denath's plot, he gets attacked from an unknown creature and vanishes with the group sent by Denath. Ernest from a previous experiment was told to be caretaker of the Draynor Manor in case anything happened to Professor Oddenstein. While Ernest was cleaning up the manor, Ernest could not help but noticing that the machine starting running without notice and found a invisible portal which goes to a strange new world. After further study by Reldo, it was a portal to a whole new era in time. Reldo further explored the area on his own and never came back but Ernest learned from the locals of that time that a strange group of people in evil looking robes that believed in magical powers passed through a few days ago and seized the town. You must help Ernest learn more of the new era and stop whatever Denath's group is planning. After stopping Denath's plot of taking over the new world with his newly summoned demon that can only be harmed by Silverlight which this new time does not have, Denath's forces flee from the town and everybody is now free to do (almost) anything that they please which includes you exploring the new world. You can also fight the men of this time who are still loyal to Denath but be careful because their powerful muskets can deadly damage if you are unprepared as the Gods of Runescape do not exist in this new world so they won't hear your prayers for aid in the battles and you can't teleport to cities back in the normal time since you can only teleport between areas but not between time.

The way this idea is set up currently its never going to happen. Maybe if you changed it to "master skills" or something. Where your level is set back to 1 but you have a red ring around that skill. Your experience is still at 13,000,000 and at level 1 you can make everything. So for an example a level 18 master smither could make bronze(m) where the stats and look are slightly modified.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all this idea needs a lot of refinement and certain parts would have to be removed otherwise the mods will lock this.

getting from level 99-199 would take forever

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

getting to 106 would be the same amout of work as getting 99 again, and what about skill capes? do all the 99ers have to get to 199 now?

[Gyroman26]

while jagex is making that why not put some rockets into runescape to we can blast off into the moon.

[gibsocam]

i don't like it. guns in runescape would ruin it. lvl 199 would ruin a huge achievement for 1000s of people.

[hohto]

Have you thought it well? first of all the current maximum xp, 200 million, equals to level 126 if we don't change the xp formula. We got currently 26 people with 200m experience, are you seriously think people would go for 199 which would equal for more xp than Zezima currently got in total? Not to mention that 9 of these 200m xpers are cooks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We got now a handful of people with 200m xp and some with 2277 overall. I personally don't see a point rising the gap to higher levels: even currently it's hard enough to max out already and bringing the maximum level up even to 110 would mean a need to train hundreds of millions more xp to get 99 skill average.

[FalconBomba]

Are you insane? You would be an old old man or woman before you hit 199... I rather like the skill (m) idea where you have to get through all the ranks again with the same xp but you have acess to making better versions and maybe they need like 2 extra coal per (m) bar. It would give even high lvls something to shoot for that isn't insane.
