Jagex Games Studio have released ‘Invention’ as the first ever Elite Skill in their fantasy MMORPG RuneScape.
The new feature in this Runescape Update 2016 is directed at high-level players. It allows them to boost and customise existing weapons and armour with a wide selection of perks.
So, what’s different from other long established skills in RuneScape?
First of all this feature is meant for elite players only. According to Jagex, Invention is not immediately unlocked either. Players must earn the right to participate by gaining level 80 in other skills, such as Smithing, Crafting and Divination.
Elite players will get the chance to optimise their favourite weapons and their fighting skills on the whole. Invention based armouries of gear can become a perfect weapon against dragons, demons, and other malevolent creatures so that they can take on bosses with negative perks.
Technologically advanced devices can be discovered and allow players to become a true „scientific pioneer in Gielinor“.
All in all there are 26 standard skills in RuneScape already: The first, Smithing, was released as part of the game on 4th January 2001 – the most recent one, Divination, was launched in August 2013.
With the introduction of Elite Skills David Osborne, lead designer on RuneScape, announces „a new level of gameplay for our most loyal and passionate players” . More combinations and „greater differentiation between their characters and those of their friends and fellow players“ is what he names as the most important improvements.
The launch of the game’s first Elite Skill in the RuneScape Update 2016 represents the latest content update and is part of the game’s 15th anniversary celebrations – which continue throughout 2016.
