paulhartman Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 But, we will be able to make money off the construction skill. When Jagex adds some more features to it, that is. What I see on the horizon - is ships. We will be able to build our own ship: a merchant ship or a pirate ship. Of course, your ship will require lumber, tar, sails (whatever they will be made of) steel for cannons, rope and nails - so many items and skills will be needed. After completed, under your command as Captain, a crew will be hired, each person getting a percentage of the haul, and you sail on one of several types of missions. 1) A trading mission, where you sail to some far away land and trade your cotton, lumber and commercial metals for their spices, silk and rare perfumes. The haul will be the net profit between your goods and the goods you bring back. 2) A treasure hunt, where you and your crew sail to some island where, after fighting many monsters and crawling through may caves, you may, or may not, find a treasure. You and the crew will split the value of your treasure. (Being the captain and ship-owner, you will take the lionâââ‰â¢s share of the loot. ) But, you must get your treasure or trade goods back to your home port. And in the way, are pirates. 3) A pirate escapade, where you hunt the seas for ships to plunder. You may be disappointed and find nothing. The oceans are a very big place. And even when you do run down a treasure ship or trading ship, you still must capture their loot. Much fighting, and possible damage to the ships will follow. Maybe the pirates are successful and share the haul instead of the previous owners, and maybe they are fought off. Who know? Being a pirate is not risk free. If the ship is damaged, the owner must make repairs before attempting another trip. Jagex will allow greater damage to pirate ships than others since the pirates do not have to put out the effort to get the trade goods or treasure. And, maybe pirate ships will not be allowed as many cannons as the other ships. We will have to wait to find out. But this is certain: only the highest level construction players will able to build ships at all, for this will be the construction skill payoff. Those distant ports will be trading very rare goods indeed, goods not previously seen in the Jagex world. And who knows what new weapons, gems and amour will be hidden in treasure chests. Jagex will not have you sailing off just to find a few bars of gold. And while the crew must be paid, it will still be the owners of the ships who will really benefit. If you are a skilled Captain, famous for your successful voyages, maybe each of your 25 crewmembers agrees to work for only a 1% share each. You get rich; that is, if the pirates donâââ‰â¢t get you or the crew doesnâââ‰â¢t mutiny and take it all for themselves. Arggggggg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_K Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 This sounds like a great idea being only to available to those with high construction. This good use for construction, and not a typical castle wars on water idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
