Moon Clan update speculation

[Artemis_42]

My personal bet for the new magics is on summoning. The next runecrafting alter the create would pretty much have to be blood, however that fits into the Myreque storyline far better than the Fremennik. They couldn't exactly release soul runes, because that is one ahead, and so far the have given us the quest-alters in order. I also can't see them throwing something totally random out because summoning has been on their to-do list for a very long time now.

 

 

 

As for summoning itself, it has been disputed that it would either be combat or non-combat. Such as summoning monsters to fight for you or to gather resources for yourself. However it is my personal belief that it could be a mix of the two. Afterall, staying in one spot all day and attacking that same monsters over and over again can get pretty mundane. Although, there is the chance that the enchanting bolts could be part of the new spell-list itself, so the two could come hand-in-hand

 

 

 

Although, Jagex has been known to save large updates for the end of the month. So it could be possible that this weeks update is the crossbows/bolts if the two updates don't go with each other like I have speculated.

Did I metion Final Fantasy?

 

 

 

Anyway SUMMONING IS IN FINAL FANTASY IDIOT

 

 

 

Well I saw Black and White Magic as in the Black and White Mages. I was going back to the original Final Fantasy. Not a lot of people call it Black or White Magic they generally call it Good or Evil and Offensive or Defensive (which you did say).

 

 

 

It was a joke, a little note to a person who also played Final Fantasy (With your sig).

Technically my sig is more from Advent Children than the game

[Esper_Jones]

FF is FF...

 

 

 

Anyways, what I hope is that the update is NOT like ancient magic, and does not kill the teleport spells. If there is a new spellbook, let's hope the teleports are alive, at least some of them (the ones you can't make portals to)

 

 

 

HOUSE TELEPORT MUST BE SAVED!

That picture is from the game though.

[genju24]

I'm hoping for White Magic (healing and defensive spells). It would make a change from our Black Magic (offensive spells).

 

 

 

Not everything is Final Fantasy based :wink: .

 

 

 

But I get what you're saying. I always wanted some Healing spells like the monks have and spells which would be boosts for you and team mates around you. I think though that those spells would only be used by the few Mage Pker's who go in groups and those who play in PvP mini-games. It still would be useful in those mini-games for me but the demographic is very narrow.

 

 

 

Summoning is the new magic to be released. If one thing could point it out think back to the Kendal (the bear god). The Moon Clan worshipped that weird guy and treated it as a god. It was the first animal god we saw and I don't think it'll stop there. Also I'll bet that the Chieftan of the Moon Clan will be a man but his daughter will be ruling under his name because the father is unable to take command. Straight from Dragonlance there.

 

 

 

Let's look at a big history of Runescape. We came from the South as the cities grew and they expanded the Human control of the world (South being warmer and whatnot). I'm guessing the Fremminek's and the Moon Clan were Nomads at the time but we know the Frem's became permanent residents and the Moon Clan STILL ARE nomads. Now from the Official History of Magicks of Runescape it was indeed a "man from the north" who discovered magic. This isn't the magic we know today. The Magic before Rune Stones was pure manipulation of Magical energies. They created Rune Stones (So that must mean the Rune Essence Mines was once in walking distance of a village or something like that) and the story doesn't mention creating the Rune Altars but it would have to be inferred that they did because otherwise they couldn't get novices to use the magic. I'll bet that beforehand, these Wizards were specialist wizards as we've seen today (By Malignus Mortifer, although they're not as powerful as the ones in the past) and could direct Magic Energies into the altar so that others could bind the power into the stones.

 

 

 

Now the North is definetly where it all started so perhaps the new age magic (Seeing as Ancient Magic belongs to the Mahrajatt and is definetly not what the story speaks of) which required no Runes was up there and we'll get access to it in the near future.

 

 

 

Whatever Jagex does I'm sure it will flow well into their already built storylines and I'd love to see a better explanation of Magic from the Kbase. I love reading official stories about the realm of Runescape and knowing more about the intricacies of the world (i.e. Magic, Gnome Politics, etc.).

 

 

 

I think you have a number of facts wrong.

 

 

 

For one we haven't had any contact with the Moon Clan yet. The tribe in the mountains isn't the Moon Clan, they're a part of the Fremennik tribe that split off. They're still Fremennik. I don't know what they call themselves (mountain people?), but it's not Moon Clan.

 

 

 

The Moon Clan is disliked by both factions of the Fremennik tribe.

 

 

 

Second of all, Kendal wasn't a god at all. He had nothing to do with summoning, he was simply a fake, a normal man wearing a bear head, pretending to be an animal god. He might have become a little animal like, but that's just because he went mad.

 

 

 

Now, I think you're totally ignoring the "matriarchal" aspect that Jagex has said that the Moon Clan has, because you're mixing up all these things. I'm sure the Moon Clan will be ruled by a "matriarch". Of course that doesn't mean that all clan members must be male.

 

 

 

On topic, I think that what will eventually be true has already been said here. Either it is some form of summoning "little helpers" to get small tasks done for you, or we can remove summoning altogether from the equation and it's just a list of helpfull spells. I agree they'll be like Ancient Magicks in that they replace your existing spell list.

 

 

 

To me it seems a waste if Jagex introduces summoning in such a small way... they might do it, but it just seems it'll close many doors on future expansion of the summoning theme.

 

 

 

I'm more inclined to a list of usefull and healing spells than anything summoning related. Time will tell.

[jessy87]

new and HIGH level enchant spells, that only work on bolts...hmm, amazingly new exp for the magic training arena? with enchantable spells that are like lvl 95 magic would be nuts for exp.

What is this? Pick on Tefda day :roll: . Alright so you got me on the Mountain Tribe People, I did the quest the week it came out, that was a LONG time ago, can't always remember about places you hardly visit.

 

 

 

I did mention how the Kendal was fake: "...weird guy and treated it as a god" and I know he had nothing to do with summoning at the time but in some games you generally summon a familiar/aid and they can be natural animals. I was just making a connection and "speculating".

 

 

 

Lastly I'm not ignoring the fact that it was a matriach, I just think that few if any societies are ruled by women the only known one I can think of are the Amazonian women and they belong down south, not up north. I made another connection to Dragonlance because it's another fantasy work and Jagex likes to borrow/make parodies of other material.

 

 

 

Tefda out :P . (Hopefully in about four and a half hours it will no longer be pick on Tefda day :wink: )

I wasn't picking on you, trust me. If I was, you'd notice.

 

 

 

You just used a few arguments in your reasoning that were unfounded, and I'm not very good at keeping my oppinions to myslef when I know they're true... my fault.

 

 

 

On matriarchal societies, you're just pushing aside a lot of fantasy fiction as well as folklore by saying that. Think elves, for instance. Not all, but some. Even history. Trust me, there were some matriarchal societies even in Europe during and before the Dark Ages... there still are some in Asia.

 

 

 

I think it has no bearing on what Jagex decides to put in their quests, and it's a bit off topic... but you certainly can't say that they didn't/don't exist.

[Kashi]

Well ... I pointed this out before, but notice that Waterbirth Island is shaped like a moon?

 

 

 

Because it is.

[Viktorkrum77]

hmm, so that's what the Moon Clan is. I've always wondered since purchasing my Seercull bow.

[pker683]

im not sure what is gonna happen all i know is this update will kill the market again. anytime something huge, such as a new spell list is added everything is effected. jagex might add a new area up north, cant find the thing where they said they would but its somewhere...

[His_Infernal_Majesty]

 

We ALSO know that Seercull Bow was a weapon of theirs, to battle the ancient Daggonaths with.

 

 

 

Actually, if you examine the bow, it doesn't say that.

 

 

 

It says the bow was used by the Fremenniks to battle the Moon Clan. The Moon Clan didn't use them.

 

 

 

 

An ancient Fremennik bow that was once used to battle the Moon Clan.

un- and note item (not cheap to cast)

 

 

 

:shame: Runecrafting Nature Runes would become so much easier. Even if it cost 2k a cast you can make 26 Nature Runes. They can still sell for 7.8k. With 91+ Runecrafting 15.6k. Alot more people will gain 91 Runecrafting if this was introduced and I personally do not believe it will be introduced.

[rct101]

well...the magics now out...looks cool

I was referring to unnoting a single item at a high cost or possibly only certain items (food, logs, etc.) but thank you for calling me an idiot, lol. There is no way I would believe that Jagex would destroy a whole skill and ruin a whole market by adding a single spell...

 

 

 

P.S. YAY, go me!! \ :XD:

 

 

 

I'm hoping for White Magic (healing and defensive spells). It would make a change from our Black Magic (offensive spells).

 

Spells that replenish prayer, hp, and the spec bar would be flipping awesome. Way too powerful but I can dream. :-w

 

Way too powerful UNLESS THEY SAP FROM THE CASTER. *Happy Dance*

[Greedom1]

I think you've posted a pretty good speculation. I am not too in touch with my Runescape history, but from the quests that I have done and the clues given in the BTS I think that your speculations could be feasable.

 

 

 

The only thing I don't understand is how you got the feminine idea's out of the clues. (It may be obvious although, but like I said I'm not too in touch with my rs history.)

 

 

 

Every time RuneScape is updated a female(usually the same one) writes up a thread about how sexist RuneScape is.

 

 

 

It really annoys me in this day and age.. You can't have anything based around a "guy" without making a female counterpart. Ie. Ms Pacman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Spidergirl, Superwoman, Captain Janeway, etc.. I don't see them making a male version to things everytime a female one is created... :shame:

 

 

 

Haven't you seen the "Guys Gone Wild" commercials on tv?
