The Archaeology Skill - (Surprise on Page 26!)

[k1masato]

At first I thought the whole idea was quite silly ( like what the hell.. archaeology ? ). But then I actually read through your whole first post and I really like it!

 

 

 

+I really love the cape of achievement emote idea :thumbsup:. Very creative!!

 

 

 

You got my support!

[quelmotz]

Amazing skill suggestion! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

One of the best I've seen for quite a long time! Most skill suggestions are quite crappy, but this is really good! :

 

 

 

What about new dinosaurs like iguanodon, spinosaurus, etc?

 

 

 

Iguanodon's special ability could be to eat up your opponent's food or something? But that seems too similar to the locust ability.

 

 

 

Spinosaurus could probably shoot spines or something like that. I don't know.

I think I added plenty of dinosaurs to qench your reptilian cravings. Thanks for supporting, though. :)

Maybe a certain archeology level can be a requirement for "Elemental workshop 3" as we know it's coming because of the second door at the b3 floor and the workshop gets more and more fragile and buried the longer down we get.

With Archaeology being such a successful concept, I want to see if I can come up with yet another amazing skill idea. This is the beginning works of it. Yep, folks. Astronomy. How will I make it work? You'll have to wait quite some time to find out. I won't post it until I am absolutely sure it will be a hit. Watch this space. ;)[/hide]

Epic! Good luck! =D>

[Outsanity]

Thanks! :D

 

 

 

And just so everyone is aware, I will not discuss any specifics about the skill. It is still in creation and right now is a very long way from being near ready to show to the public. I am not here to take any ideas regarding what could be used in the skill. That will come when it is released and it has it's own thread. Until that time, you have Archaeology and that is what will be discussed on this thread.

 

 

 

Now, not to say you can't theorize on the Astronomy skill idea. No harm can come of that, just no "Outsanity, Astronomy should have this or that!" and please, no slandering or flaming the idea. Don't worry, the skill is in good hands. I managed to turn a "boring" skill idea such as Archaeology into (and I'm only quoting the supporters) "The best skill idea out there," so Astronomy will be just as good, if not better.

 

 

 

Keep the support!

[Haaa_Haaa0]

Me likey :D

 

I think it would be sweet to have archaeology...maybe add Indiana Jones themed quests later? (sorry if it has been already been mentioned, didn't read many of the reply posts) I can see it now...Running through a collapsing dungeon with a T-Rex chasing you, and swinging over a chasm with your abyssal whip. :lol: Great idea, you have my support!

 

 

 

Oh, and I'm looking forward to astronomy thread, should be as good of a read as this was!

[sirlonewolf]

Can not wait for your new skill suggestions astronomy

 

 

 

U have my pre astronomy skill support

Epic +1

 

Looking forward to it.

 

Shame the archaeology skill isn't there yet.

 

I'd become member straight away if that one came out :o

[The_Mather1]

Maybe you should post it on the official RuneScape forums now any more features and it'l be way overpowered.

 

I'd definatly kept bumping you when(if it ever will be) nececary.

TheMather1, I understand your concern, but it isn't really your place to tell me what to do with the idea. I have a few points I am following:

 

 

 

1. I am not posting it anywhere else until at least 500 people have supported.

 

2. I don't really plan to update it much more until my Astronomy Skill is out. I plan to use just a smidge of Archaeology in that skill.

 

3. Adding on will not make the skill overpowered. I am not suggesting to anyone that we must use EVERYTHING in this guide should the skill become a reality. This is a mere guideline of what could be done, not the final product. Adding onto the guide will only help it's chances of appealing to Jagex and it's players. No harm can come out of upgrading if it's done in the spirit in which the foundations will allow it. Meaning, I've made a very balanced skill, so you can count on me to only add balanced updates to it.

[MstrMonopoly]

Mega support.

[Xizor12]

I'm in love with that skill

[mweddle]

Exelent! About every other suggestion in this forum is schitt! 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% support!

[nerdboyxxx]

Wow, that was a great read :) add me to support :D

[Guest User]

Thoroughly thought out. It's obvious quite some time was put into this creation. And for that you have my support. Very nice.

[jimmy_jim]

That's a really good suggestion. At first, I didn't think it would be such a good idea, but reading what you've written, and seeing all the thought that has been put into it really changed my stance. It's very well thought out, and would work perfectly with everyone, and fits in nicely with all skills.

 

 

 

It's great to see how much thought has been put into this, and I wouldn't mind seeing this skill in game :. Good luck with astrology as well!

 

 

 

I support.

[Atom Smash40]

:lol:

 

 

 

no joke, I mentioned astronomy as a possible skill in my clan's IRC hahaha

 

 

 

it's a good idea though

[Sir_Kurity]

I can't believe ive skimmed past this thread for so long.

 

 

 

Great suggestion =D.

[Gandalf14141]

Well I support the idea, and I think it would be fun and encourage people to get their other stats up to use the added bonuses of Archaeology. 100% support :thumbsup:

[Seraphi]

I can't think what astrology will contain...

 

Good luck with that.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, another thing.

mweddle, shut up.

 

http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=798905

 

Remember this? Possibly the worst suggestion I have seen in all the time I have played runescape?

 

There are plenty of good ideas on this forum, and you have just taken all of them, and said they sucked, when your's sucks more than any other.

 

Try reading your responses, idiot.

[Troacctid]

I really like it. I support.

 

 

 

The core idea of excavating fissures seems a lot like mining, but I like that it can be utilized in more ways than just extracting resources. Excavating new caverns is an aspect of the skill that I particularly like, as well as digging up untradable items to help train skills...although I would make those require fewer shards to put together, and I don't know if there's a need to make coelecanths so ridiculously hard to reach. A cave at the base of Trollheim would be plenty far from a bank to balance it, especially since the catchrate for a level 85 fish is bound to be so slow already. Also, I think the familiars might make more sense as pets.

 

 

 

Astronomy sounds like an interesting idea as well.

[psvstef]

[Outsanity]

Troacctid, thank you for the kindness. One thing I can do is respect you. We've argued on other forums of different opinions, but one thing you didn't do is bring that here, so thanks for being mature. ;)

 

 

 

Ross_the_Knight, while I am glad you support, I'd appreciate you not bringing fights onto my thread. No matter what mweddle has created of his own, he came here to show his support. Yes, he shot down everyone other idea on this forum, and that wasn't ok, but you should just let it go.

 

 

 

And I will take this moment to tell several people who have already made the mistake that I did not propose Astrology as a skill. I proposed Astronomy. They are two very different things. The first is the study of horoscopes and things of the like, and the second (the one I am working on) is the study of space and celestial beings and objects.

 

 

 

As for how I am proposing it, don't worry, I won't need luck making it work. The idea is already successful between the friends I have proofreading it and helping me to fix power issues. It's nowhere near ready yet, though, so don't get too excited (or unexcited) yet.
