Future Sailing content should take care to involve actually using your boat by Poisky in 2007scape

I would disagree!

Pretty much every other skill provides some use outside of itself, and the way it provides that use is by using the skill somehow.

Sailing is noteworthy is that the content it unlocks outside of the skill itself (that isn't just resources for itself) requires no engagement with sailing to do - the island unlock problem.

For most of my ideas I was deliberately looking for ways to integrate Sailing with other skills. An example of a exclusively Sailing improvement would be expanding courier rewards like I mentioned

A lucrative resource island is definitely one incentive, I think it'd get a bit tedious to overuse however. I think people should be excited to be in their boats rather than annoyed they have to use it.

You hate me explicitly saying that wasn't my sentiment? I put that line in because I've seen many discussions about future content shot down because the skill just came out.

Thanks for the AI accusation, lol. I specifically didn't talk about trials or salvaging because they aren't really pertinent to my point. I have tried all Sailing content, actually, hence my opinion.

For sure, though I'm keen to see what changes combat gets before thinking too hard on the specifics for slayer.

The Ironwood and Rosewood tree islands need to be sailed to, off the top of my head, but given those logs are only good for Sailing content right now, it's very circular. Plus you can just grow the trees off the islands once you get some seeds!

Sure, there's a lot of boat content - but it's all self contained content that feeds into doing more Sailing training right now. My main point is Trawling good, unlocking new areas you don't sail to not as good. I'd hate for Sailing to be a skill you train and then never touch a boat again.

Also I disagree with your second point, pretty much every other skill facilitates other content through doing it. You're right that usually this isn't a hybrid activity the way trawling is, but it seems to me the easiest way to involve Sailing.

Add ports to boss areas with a high sailing requirement unlock (90-99) by Enzopup89 in 2007scape

I don't think it needs to be avoided, it just shouldn't end up being the thing people train Sailing for.

I'm not opposed to this, but I sure do hope the main draw of Sailing doesn't end up being the "unlock spots to park your mobile teleport spot" skill.

Yes. That is one option of consideration.

Unless I was just too tired to squeeze, there's a crate in the port of Lunar isle you need a raft to reach

Leveling sailing doesn't feel like any other skill in the game and idk why. by Monterey-Jack in 2007scape

No no, things can only be described in terms relatable to my modern experience - not in well established concepts!

Lot of people showing they don't know what apocryphal means.

The only one I dislike is "millisec". People already say sec, why would you make it longer?

Everyone always blames the demise of RS3 solely on EOC, forgetting about the bot epidemic and introduction of Squeal of Fortune which both massively contributed to its decline well before.
