G'day fellow velsioners,
today i'm here to talk to you about skilling in velsionscape. over the years i have played MANY different servers and i must admit that this server is by far the easiest to gain a 99 in. having played for only two days i have already acquired 9 99 skills, leaving only agility and fishing to go, (not sure if smithing and cooking are working at the present).
having played various servers which require at least 4k adamant ore to be mined before you can claim the mining cape as your own seems preferable compared to the 140 adamant ore required on velsion.
it's good that people are able to obtain the capes that would require 1 months hard training or 2 weeks
**** botting - the only problem is that it requires no time at all to obtain.
solution: make skills slightly more difficult to get 99 in (using the mining ref again - make it take at least 1.5 - 2k adamant ore for 99 mining as opposed to 150).
Ways to make certain skills slower rather then reducing xp on all:
Firemaking- fix the fire make animation, as it stands players are able to woodcut while fire make without any delay fires are also invisible.
Runecrafting - the runecrafting system is reasonably well structured with only one "major" flaw this flaw is the fact that you are able to select the astral temple teleport and turn your essence into blood runes with no teleport required.
Thieving - lower the exp rates on stalls and double the profit earned, also add a npc which gives a crap loot but extra fast exp (for those that don't like skilling, that way players can choose between fast exp and low profit or slower exp and larger profit). Also put the npc in a "non obvious location.
velsion is a good server but lets not make it boring.
O.T - removing the 40 defence requirement for the runecrafting hood would be great for us skillers =]
A.O.T - excuse any spelling fayuls, typed this reasonably quick - i will edit it later when i have more time on my hands.
