I read a quote from Jagex mod saying that the new skill will not start with a B.

A) Hi Mason,
No it doesn't, it's just a rumor.

Mod MMG Q&A.

[hato uppp]

Honestly, im not really concerned about this new skill coming out, nor that the fact it what it will do yet.

However, but as a new skill coming out both in f2p / p2p that is interesting to see, and i think all f2p'ers would be happy have one extra skill to work on.

For me its to early to judge on what it can be, i rather keep my guesses for later on and see what other hints Jagex give out ;)

But we have to see dont we, but i like seeing how this topic is going so far by everyone's opinions.

[Lordhasaflas]

I don't know what it will be and I don't really care.
I just like the fact that it'll be F2P aswell.

Good work Aldo on summing up the confirmed facts!

Can I conclude of that that animals will play a large roll in the new skill?

No, you can't. I don't see how you can possibly assume that just because the new skill will not involve mounts, that it still must involve animals on some level. There are no signs that it involves animals at all. Not saying that it won't, but I don't see how you can assume that it will.

It could have to do with underwater stuff and there might be fish.

There is already another skills!

A hint was given:

1. What is the new skill? Can you tell us what it is or, if not, give any hints?
2. Has it got anything to do with the Pirate Empires game planned for FunOrb.

1. I can give you the hint that it will involve lots of skill. And combat. And combat skill.
2. No.

And this:

Can you tell us some things about the new skill? When it’s out, some hints...

I love this kind of question, but the answer is impossible to give, sorry. Just to say training it will not be money-driven.

[BuckTeeth7]

Maybe it will have something to do with transportation (e.g. construction of vehicles that would be used for transportation, or use of beasts to carry you).

Its going to be in the middle of the year, at least a few more months of waiting left. Keep training everything because every skill is suppose to have some influence on it.

[Goalie]

From the clues it sounds like they're releasing a new mini-game. I'm starting to think that you may actually need co-operation and team-work with other players to train it and such.

[II kaai II]

just saying here i read on the forums the exact opposite..they're saying one of the clues is its not gonna start with a "B"...another clue (i reaserched alot on this topic) is its going to be released sooner to the middle of the year than the end or something like that so it will be released anytime between March and September..i will see what more info i can get on this..

[demonadenmar]

i don't know what to say about it anymore. As long as it doesn't kill my minimal cash or make the game lag I am all for it.

[BuckTeeth7]

It looks to be a very, very good skill. Considering all of the things that have been said about it, and all what we know, it's worth the wait.

I can wait an age, as long as they get it right :).

And no bugs like with Construction (though after that party, I don't suppose they'll be any of those).

[Hammy13]

I agree boating would be fun but how would we do that I mean for instance theres a 30gp fee to boat almost anywhere u need to go =_= why would this be a relevant skill
