Oops.. Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of a typhoon. Either way, I still think snow is cooler than a giant wave. Okay, maybe not, but you already have one water-related storm, you might as well add a snow/ice one with the 'air' one (tornado).

 

In other news, I've finally finished more concept art! I shall get it to you asap.

I think the bind for 20 seconds effect should be changed to something like avalanche.

The bind for 15 seconds should be something like blizzard maybe?

Tornado doing 25% extra damage is ok IMO.

 

Hurricane=Typhoon=Cyclone. All mean a huge tropical storm, usually coming from the ocean during the monsoon season or something. They are so huge that they can be seen from satellites, unlike tornadoes.

 

A tsunami is a (series of) waves up to 30m or so high that are usually triggered by undersea earthquakes.

 

--------

 

Anyway, let's stop wasting time talking about pures. Pures voluntarily chose to devote themselves to skilling/combat, and so why should Jagex cater to them? Jagex never forced anyone to be pures in the first place. In fact they encourage "balanced" playing. If you choose to pursue skills/combat only, then it's your fault, not Jagex's.

Just to the whole tsunami avalanche typhoon , tornado thing . I just mentioned it because the bow is called the bow of storms is called the bow of stormsand a tsunami is a giant wave

not a storm.

 

 

The pure doesnt have to be diverse , but even people with a low cb should be able to mine at these mines shouldnt they? That would just ensure that people could mine there without getting

constantly killed.

 

 

 

To the curse

Making the equipment slot cursed and so not allowing other divine gear to be equipped is okay , as long as the curse wears off after a defined period of time.

But there still must be some aspect of risk.

If we want to add risk we can just make the monsters in the"Thieving and Agility room"less powerful than the normal monsters , and maybe add an hp drain effect(like pray at barrows , only in hp) to that room

But there still must be some aspect of risk.

 

Exactly.

 

Do you expect the gods to leave a mine filled with an extremely precious and powerful ore empty of guardians? Or the same for a furnace capable of smelting the ore and the only anvil that can be used to smith the bars into divine weapons? Fat chance.

Anyway the name of the bow doesn't matter. You could always change it to the "Bow of Disaster" or something like that... And tsunamis can also be triggered by violent storms, so....

If we want to add risk we can just make the monsters in the"Thieving and Agility room"less powerful than the normal monsters , and maybe add an hp drain effect(like pray at barrows , only in hp) to that room

 

That's not dangerous, that's predictable.

Why don't you stop trying to help pures? They don't deserve Jagex's effort and time to cater to them.

 

If you VOLUNTARILY specialise yourself, you don't deserve Jagex's sympathy. (sorry for the large font, just had to get the point through)

 

Jagex IS NOT stopping you from reverting back to a balanced character. If Jagex forced you to choose "classes" or something then I would agree with you, but not in this case. You restrict yourself to certain aspects of RuneScape so as to devote yourself to skills - you'll have to pay for it some way or another.

I think this is a great idea, but I agree with Clawolas about the curse. Maybe you could change it to a certain length of time instead of such a dramatic drain of prayer. Something similar to the ability to mine/smith where your higher mining/smithing level increases the chance of succeeding. The curse could wear off over a period of time, but the higher your prayer is, the shorter the length of time it takes? And prayer isn't reduced while nullifying off the curse. Also, this shouldn't work in PvP based aspects of RuneScape, just other parts such as skiling/questing/etc.

Not sure what you mean on the "doesn't work on PvP" bit, but that's a good idea.

Well, in minigames like Castle Wars, Clan Wars, Fight Pits etc. where you have to fight other players, it wouldn't be fair that you had the ability to change divinite armour/weapons during the game because the curse wore off while you were playing. Same goes for Bounty Hunter worlds. But when you aren't fighting another player it doesn't matter so much.

It would be fair if the curse took a long time to wear off. If you could only switch armors once or twice during a CW game, it wouldn't matter very much.

Maybe not so much in castle wars and other safe PvP minigames, but a large portion of the RuneScape community would object to the ability to change divinite armour in PvP worlds with drops and such. I think a time of about 10 minutes with 50 prayer would be good, and maybe shorten that to about 5 with 99 prayer?

I think that's actually a little too short given the fact that there is no penalty for it.

More concept art!

sweet :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

im noware near the requirements :unsure:

 

 

I'm a bit confused here :mellow:

 

Let me try to summarize this and please correct me if I missed something.

 

To start off, 50 mining to mine the ore, 50 smithing to smelt, and 95 to smith the bar. Correct?

 

Now taking an unfinished item (please explain the process to get one I missed it) to the room in GWD will allow you to make a weapon corresponding to that god right? (EG Bandos's Crescent of war)

 

And if Guthix let you into the mines in the first place, why would there be protectors? Just a little though, I think it contradicts itself.

 

Otherwise a very nice topic I can say. This is a perfect way to help Mining and Smithing actually have a point in this game nowadays. Also, Jagex has stated that they are going to add a whole new set of armor to the game, along with a new dungeon. Some of the biggest HP counts will be there. If you inspired them....well done to you :thumbsup:

 

Best of luck with everything else :mrgreen:

You have everything understood correctly, and thanks for reading!

 

On the contradictory part, I would compare them to Churches in modern day. God (if you do believe in God) allows you into his holy places (Churches, etc.), yet if you attempt to steal from him, it is a blatant crime. Likewise, Guthix allows you into his sacred places, provided you demonstrate your devotion (hence the tribute required), but scorns you if you attempt to steal from him.

 

If you would like to look at it from a different way, think about it like this. Guthix is asleep, correct? So he has no way of telling his guardians to give you a "free pass". So while you can worship Guthix and therefore allows you access, the guardians do not know you are a Guthixian sympathizer, and therefore know no better than to attack.

Bump.

 

Note on the Orbs: I gave it thought and personally, I believe that system is a little too complex and unnecessary. It would be cool, to be sure, and I had to fight my own urge to add it just for the effect, but I don't think it quite accomplishes the purpose. The equipment, I think, is enough, although anyone is free to disagree and convince me otherwise. I'm still open to suggestions.

No problem. It's your suggestion after all.

I'd just like to point out that by classic definitions, longswords are straight and sabers are curved. Your pictures so the opposite of this.

 

But other than that bit of nitpicking, I love the idea!

Ah, well I'm sure if this gets implemented that would be a quick fix. ;-)

 

Thanks for posting!

A saber is basically a sword/longsword. A sabre is a scimitar-like curved sword.

 

AFAIK anyway...

It's pretty good, some of the spec "taunts" are kinda cheesy.

Yeah but on those I ran out of creativity. Thanks for your post! :)
