Old School RuneScape has long aimed to preserve its rich heritage while adapting to modern trends. Today marks a pivotal moment for this enduring MMO with the introduction of the new sailing skill, a much-anticipated feature voted in by players two years ago.
What Does the New Sailing Skill Offer?
The sailing skill allows players to navigate the vast seas, offering them a plethora of exciting adventures. Starting from a basic tutorial quest, players will receive their own customizable boats. As they progress, they can equip these vessels with improved facilities and materials, ready to face perilous adventures.
Enthusiasts can join this alpha test on PC, but mobile players will not yet have access. To participate, you need an active membership.
Key Features:
- Customizable Boats: Players can enhance their boats to brave more dangerous waters.
- Exploration: Discover new islands and interact with various ports.
- New Challenges: Initially capped at level 30, players can take part in new quests and the Barracuda Trial, which tests their sailing skills through whirlpools.
For those eager to embark on this maritime journey, Old School RuneScape is available for download on Steam.
This new addition not only revives interest for returning players but also enhances gameplay for veterans looking for fresh content in a game that has thrived on nostalgia for nearly two decades.
