Fishing/Cooking - King Crabs

 

 

 

Introduction

 

In a world where we have the ability to cook & fish our heart's desire; why was something so obvious left out of the picture? The love and appreciation of catching Lobsters & Sharks should not stop there; it should continue onto something more common & understanding to our nature. The crab species is a one of the most known edible aspects in our lives & yet Jagex only emphasizes them to be made into Armor. My proposition is to make atleast one type of catchable & cookable crab; the King Crab.

 

 

 

Why the King Crab? That's simple. The King Crab; which is obviously a real life crab species, is exactly what its name implies. It is the 'king' of the entire Crab species. Why should we settle for something smaller when we can make something bigger and better & have double the anticipation and desire.

 

 

 

Why stop there? Another part of the idea and suggestion is the make a Crab Series. Why stop with King Crabs when we could make so many other alternatives? Why should Shrimps be our first fishing choice; why can't we have another? Why do all that fly-fishing while waiting patiently for Lobsters when you could be working on more crabs? I suggest a series between small-large crab fishing/cooking choices be made. It could start with Hermit Crabs, go up to Coconut Crabs, Snow Crabs, Horseshoe Crabs, etc etc etc. The possibilities are endless!

 

 

 

What other great advantages does this supply us? Not only will you get more fishing opportunities, but your cooking abilities would automatically enhance as well. Imagine making more 'dishes' with crab meat; crab legs, stuffed crab, crab patties, etc etc etc. Once again, the possibilities are endless!

 

 

 

To further my ideas & suggestion, I've set up a few images that I've made examples of. Remember, they aren't all that professional; just some ideas I was running with. Take them as you will, I hope they'll influence you:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you like my idea? Do you think Jagex should seriously consider this?

Don't see a color you like? Personally request something that fits your style better & I'll be happy to oblige.

 

 

 

FAQ

 

locations should be minimized to 1-2 spots (new places?)

 

As far as minimum locations, I thought instead of making a new one we could simply make an old one more significant. I was thinking we could make the only location (or atleast one) at the Fishing Platform. This location is not very used and could be brought back to life if considered. Banking + Travel would make it a little more complicated thus making them rarer to the cause. Trawler was also an idea but wasn't sure how it would take on.

 

 

 

how about using a knife on crabs to get raw crab legs, then cooking it?

 

cuz the body just seems to dissappear

 

use knife -> king crab = raw crab legs

 

use raw crab legs -> range/fire/etc. = burnt crab legs/king crab legs

 

Also, as far as pre-cooking, I thought we could go by Jagex's current emphasis of crabs. Use a knife on the Raw King Crab to produce Crab Armor (chiseled into shield, helm, or whatever) & then the Raw Crab Legs can be cooked. This'll shed more light of opportunities to make more Crab Armor & to make it more popular. We could even go as far as to make it so that the Crab Armor, once chiseled, to be F2P accessible to add to their benefit so that everyone wins.

Hm, maybe change the title? When I read it I thought you were making a totally different subskill... Maybe say 'new type of food, crabs!', or something like that. Maybe lower the reqs for cooking and fishing them? If reqs are that high, these will be rediciousily priced...

[spudrow]

Sorry about that, I fixed it.

 

 

 

Also, added some Support Bars for optional use.

You didn't said how much they would heal. (Atleast I didn't see it anywere.) Like 25?

[palas1]

To be honest I don't see any point making this kind of suggestions on TIF (or on RSOF). :|

Read the Tip.It Item Database picture I manipulated. Says it heals 24.

Explain. And what is RSOF?

Runescape official forums.

 

 

 

and why not?

 

 

 

As 60-70+ hits are getting more common in the wilderness i think it would be a great idea.

[robbyfighter]

I like this idea. You need some good food nowadays.

[Unoalexi]

I support, I new fishing options!

24-heal????

 

 

 

I think it should heal 28 or something more...(im good to about 28-30-32)

 

seeing as the requiirement as 95 fishing to get it...

 

 

 

locations should be minimized to 1-2 spots (new places?)

use knife -> king crab = raw crab legs

 

use raw crab legs -> range/fire/etc. = burnt crab legs/king crab legs

 

 

 

should also burn more becuz req is 95 cooking, which means perf cook is around 120, maybe 60% cook at 99-100 cooking? 70% with gauntlets?

[palas1]

Because it will not be added in game.

 

And it is stupid idea.

I like this. While making this I had some additional ideas but failed to produce them as I just wanted to make a blunt suggestion.

Ah yes, your one opinion makes this so. I failed to see the significance & power of your thought.

 

 

 

Sadly, this was criticism at it's worst. You failed to explain and back-up your judgment therefore earned yourself nothing by posting. Your attempt to be the 'forum badass' failed miserably.
