I've had this idea for a while now here's my ideas on the topic. I believe this sailing idea could be made into a full blown skill, named sailing or something using construction you can build ships for with to sail. Or, if your construction is not high enough buy ships from others. Your sailing skill would determine what kind of ships you can use. You would start with tiny little boats, and after raising the skill you gain the ability to command large ships. Also as your skill gets higher you would be able to hire hands for the ships such as a first mate to take care of the ship which you would other wise do yourself. Rooms, and resources such as cannons would also become available with higher lvls. As far as sea combat goes, you would choose to fight others in a little sort of mini game. It would work like the combat arena or something. Both players would agree to a battle with certain rules, and then have at each other. Players would use cannons to damage other's ships. damaged ships could be repaired but at a slow rate. The effectiveness of the cannons would be determined by a players range of course. After a certain amount of damage is taken a ship can be boarded, by the other player and his crew. A boarded ship is subject to possible fire and of coarse the killing of crew. A player loses if he/she is defeated by the other player or his/her ship is sunken. A sunken ship is can be recoverd at a shipyard but, must be repaired signifigantly. Resources such as cannons would remain on the ship. If a player's construction is not high enough to fix the ship that player can pay another to do the job. Fishing would also be allowed but only at selected spots. Certain spots would have a higher chance of certain types of fish. For example: If you wanted lobies you would go to the area mostly containing them. If you wanted Sharks you would consider a different area. Fish could aslo be stored in chests available on the ship after a certain sailing level is reached. That way you dont have to keep sailing back to a bank. the chests would only hold a limited amount of fish though. As far as using the skill to sail to places go, you would only be allowed to land on ports all ready designated. Some would be blocked off, such as tutorial island offcourse. While sailing on your own ship may be free, it will however take longer than sailing on other ships, because you will be actually controlling your ship to the destination. hope this enlightens the idea and inspires additions.

Thx for the comments and complements.

lol ive seen the original picture of number 2 before. Pretty cool sigs

ya lol i was being sarcastic.

ne1 wanna comment?

hehe, just a fast pic I did, took like 15 min tops

there is all ready holly books, maybe runescape could make them able to help out with fighting with prayer

Well I know this is not a very new idea. But I think It would be cool If runescape had races other than Human like alolt of other MMORPGs have. Personally I think it would be awsome if my character was a night elf. Possibly different races could have different atvantages like dwarves could automatically have +1 mining, or smithing. Or elves could have +1 attack speed. Also you could go to the makeover mage to change your characters race. Tell me what you think, and post some ideas for playable races My Ideas are: Humans (already in RS) Dwarfs Elves and Night Elves Gnomes A minitar like race Faires Cat Humans Nymphs Satyrs

that would be sweet to hit really high like that without any weapons using advanced prayers.

all i can say is guthix rox with or without a necklace symbol

Well, like I said why doesn't he have a symbol, I mean sara has holly and zammy has unholly. Who thinks Guthix deserves a symbol and what would it be called. The balance symbol?

Cool, I'll get to work on manipulating some rs pictures so i can post the thread.

I think they could make attack prayers just like was said earlier but they could have more kinds of stuff that recharge prayer. Like a symbol you can equipt that will recharge prayer. This way prayer doesn't have to be dependent on other combat skills.

so i take it u like the idea? If you do maybe I could start a thread about this idea and post pictures and everything of what I mean, and try to get support.

Um, the only thing is that people live in different time zones so how would every one be able to celebrate at exactly midnight. it would have to be through the whole day or week so everyone gets a chance. just like the other holidays.
