more untradable stuff

[wakka102]

I think that in the future we should see more untradable things much like the "fire cape". I think that it would be neat to have, say for example, dark beasts drop some item that is nice but it is untradable. This would give you the ability to show off your skills in the game. Meaning if you have this item, and your using it, it must mean that you 90+ slayer. This would give alot of people more of an encentive to actually play the game (referring to merchants mostly, not hatin on merchants or anything, but theres just too many of them nowdays). I could see this sort of thing occuring in many different skills in the game, such as with herblore being able to make special potions that are quiet nice and helpful but only you can use them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My point in short is that i really like the update of the "fire cape" which i still have yet to get, and I'd like to see this sort of idea incorporated into skills and other aspects of the game.

You have a good point, but that would only mean that the VERY serious gamers would dominate every aspect of the game and have an advantage in everything...is this that great? I'm not so sure :?

[badrobinhood]

I don't think he means necessarily an item that dominates everything else, just things that are unique to the higher levels in certain skills. I like the idea.

[wakka102]

the items dont have to be "that" great, but i think if you make items that look uber cool and give a bit of an advantage, it would really get more people to play the game, because everbody seems to be obssessed with who is the richest and almost every aspect of runescape can be bought.

[anonymouse_]

Good point ^^

 

 

 

And it would certainly rack up some extra cash for Jagex...

 

 

 

Something like a mining cape or fishing robes or w/e would be nice :D

[bantam222]

How about a gold pickaxe for rune miners!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

same stats as rune but looks cool!!!maybe some bonus like get back for free if you louse it

[gamblingfool]

Yea, they should have done this with the Infinity Robes, since I think those look amazing. Also if like, they introduced this new armor, just SLIGHTLY better than rune, not so much drag, but takes 90+ smithing, ya know? So there's a reason other than money for it.

[Creaphis]

Items like fire cape are excellent for showing high player status, but personally, I find it comforting to be able to buy an item, if it proves to be too hard for me to get. With all the stress I've already experienced on the times I've died to Tztok-Jad, I'd much rather earn the money to buy a cape than have to kill him for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, I definitely support untradable items for having high skills like 90 slayer, etc., because there's nothing stressful about training for a high level. It just takes longer.

[Giordano]

I think items that show your skills should be untradable. Rare items on the other hand should be tradable. Cuz what if one guy wants to collect all party hats, or get all the holiday drops to his/her collection.

[retaxis2]

hi, rune takes 99 smithing or 98 if you have a pot

[dgd1788]

well tradable conveniences are damaging to the economy, think of santa hats, christmas crackers, and party hats!!!

Hi, it'd be untradeable, no profit. No reason to make more than one or two if you die.

[Gugge]

Yes, I like the idea of just slightly better but good looking items as a reward for a high skill. And yeah, I am sick of all the posts on every board about how to make easy money quick, making money instead of working on their skills seems to be the only goal for many players, which I think is sad.

[Kill_Thomas9]

do that with shade robes!

[frogmite]

well tradable conveniences are damaging to the economy, think of santa hats, christmas crackers, and party hats!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they actually are stopping prices going insanely high idiot, they control the economy and remove the excess cash not ruin it.

[tewas]

well i would like that idea, and yes infinity should be untradable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well speaking abotu merchanting, there is small group of people who actualy good at it, all those new players who shouts: i wanna get rich my merchanting help me plz!!!!!, won't ever get rich or become good merchants. it is a skill, not in scores but in your brain. it's either u have one or u don't :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

personaly i hate merchanting but i have respect for people who does that good and learns it bit by bit.

[Evrae]

something as simple as a unique, good looking cape for each skill. It would give an advantage in the skill - the fire cape puts your bonusses up.

 

 

 

A...fishing cape would increase the rate at which you get the better option from your patch - more swordies as opposed to tuna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And so on..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something recognisable, that gives a good effect, for every skill. Possibly it could materialise out of thin air when you hit lvl 99.

[Birdd]

Agreed, when I see someone with a fire cape I look up to that person and dream of having a cape like that one day. I've been thinking about this but haven't posted, anything you want in Runescape (except fire cape) you can buy, you can buy Party hats (status), any armour, you can practically buy any stat up if you throw in some extra time but with enough cash not much time. This is one of the reaons i think about moving to other games. Only reason I stick with RS is because I don't have 15 bucks a month, and I want that fire cape and I love Castle Wars

[Samittaja]

Good idea, as long as it aint anything to great and will take a long time to get back if you lose it (like the fire cape, gives a big advantage but pking with it aint worth it ;))

[audee]

How about a gold pickaxe for rune miners!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

same stats as rune but looks cool!!!maybe some bonus like get back for free if you louse it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i think not... maybe the stats of mith.. juz like those Cwars armour.. looks not bad but lousier stats compared to runite armours

[rsp]

Instead of making good items untradable, another option is to require the level needed to obtain the item to the list of requirements needed to wear / wield / use the item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For instance granite mauls can be obtained from level 71 slayer (using mature slayers respite) and Abyssal whips can be obtained from level 81 slayer (again: using respite) so to wield those weapons you would need to have at least 71 or 81 slayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This way you can trade for the item if you are unlucky on drops, while wielding the item still shows that you were able to get one on your own.

[Greenminer]

AMEN to that m8

[DarkDude]

I believe that there should be 2 untradeable items for every Stats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One Requires 90 in that skill, the other requires 99. These Items wouldn't give a huge advtange (If any) and are more there to show that you're a high level in that skill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attack, Strength, Defence, Level 90 is a cape (All different) and 99 is another cape, to get these capes speak to the person who sells legends cape at the Legends Guild. The level 90 cape is the same stats as Legends, While the 99 one is the same as Obsidian Cape.

That took a while to think up :P

[Lord_K]

Really great ideas dark dude, I may not be near level 90 in most of my skills, but I think an update like this would encourage skill training and reduce the amount of people who don't work so hard for their money. Slight not over the top bonuses for the items works well and would encourage training in several skills (I can imagine agility and firemaking becoming more popular). It also gives an item for high levels giving a point power training a skill after certain point, for example after 85 fletching training it for things other than money is pointless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once again great ideas.

[urza1488]

I would like to see "99 capes" or capes whichrequire a 99 stat, but give a very nice bonus. For instance: Few people see a reason to go form 98-99 runecrafting. What if this was the following

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strength: +15 Strength

 

 

 

Attack: +15 all attacks

 

 

 

Defense: +15 all Defense

 

 

 

Hitpoints: Always has the healing prayeron

 

 

 

Magic: +15 mage attack and def

 

 

 

Prayer: Always +15% attack strength and Defense (Like the top prayers) to make 99 prayer worth the combats

 

 

 

Herblore: All potions become 4-dosers.

 

 

 

Runecrafting: 1 extra rune per essence (eg 3 nats, 2 bloods, etc.)

 

 

 

Those are the sort of things I'd be liking.
