120 Prayer

[icy cipher]

In line with updates which are looking good, I’m not trying the beta but looking forward to changes to come.

An idea, love it or hate it, I think it’s cool and really allows people to choose their own journey.

Unlock prayer to 120 as an elite skill, no changes, just prayer capacity. At 120 prayer, players can equip the 120 prayer max cape and pray at their represented gods altar, to unlock a blessing.

Would that just replace the existing auras structure though 🫣 Basically I think 120 should be elite and a reward should be given, the cost, is equal if not more than an artisan skill, it would be great lore, just an Easter egg and an ode to gods in the game, each god offering different incentives for siding with them.

No. This sounds horrible. You want xp to be dumb high. And literally only more prayer points? Nah, rs needs to release more than jist mpre prayer points for 120 prayer

prayer with elite skill progression would make grinds like Priffdinas & soul split much harder and would further increase the gap between viability of melee/range/mage vs necro because of soul split being harder to acquire vs ghost from necro, on top of the already more limited options because of the nerf to these three styles as vampyrism aura is no longer an option (or if locked in a post 99-prayer world).

Even basic stuff like protection prayer would mean you now need over 1m xp to unlock all 3 basic protection prayers in normal spellbook vs less than 100k xp currently.

This also has a lot of implications for quests that suddenly have a much a harder requirement (11m prayer xp for Priffdinas (and later also The Light Within for some of the spells there), 800k xp for vessel of the harbinger locking other necro quests behind it such as the Hermod fight, as well as the Corp Beast fight or a bunch of the mahjarrat/fifth age storyline, incl. quests like Legends Quest)

Locking the Hermod fight quest behind needing 800k xp prayer means you are unable to upgrade your gear to T60 until you've done that also.given thats a requirement for the spirit of a war which is a requirement to be able to learn further upgrades from Kili.

It would make the game borderline unplayable for all four styles.

borderline?

I'd call that pretty unplayable

[clever shale]

Change that into unplayable, in particular for ironman.

I kinda wonder if prayer might well be the last 99

just cus

like... wtf do you do for a 120 update anyway?

and especially, wtf do you do with a 120 update that isn't just "have more prayer" that doesn't immediately crash Praesul Codexes?

what? now you need ten more Praesul Codexes for the post 99 prayers?
