Prayer Overhaul Suggestion

[Pvp Farm]

Well as most of you know (Unless you were born under a rock) the prayer book is not complete
I have a few suggestions for the future of prayer.

My Suggestion:

• Adding new prayers to the Standard Prayer Book
  
• Adding new Prayer Books with new prayers
  
• Having prayer benifit not only combat but skilling as well
  
• Creation of new methods for training Prayer
  
• Adding more Prayer quest(s)
  

Currently we have:
Standard Prayer Book:
(Combat Prayer book)

• Stops at 70 (What kinda skill stops at 70?!?)
  
• Has basic combat prayers
  

Expected impact of an over-haul on prayer:

• Bone prices rising
  
• Skilling becoming a more effective money making method
  
• Everyone's Quest Cape becoming un-equipped
  
• Reduced use of Merch clans and the 26k glitch
  
• New pking tactics
  
• And much more
  

Additions to the current prayer book:
Holy Strength/Defense/Attack/Eye/Will- around 90 prayer for each- Raises Range and Mage by 25% while Defense, Attack, and Strength are raised by 30%





Divine Prayer Book
(Suggest a name for the book)

• Would have a new prayer called Divine Quickness/Haste/Speed*
  
• Would have a new prayer called Divine Blessing* (Moving to Guthix Book)
  
• Would have a new prayer called Divine Healing Aura*
  
• Would have a new prayer called Divine Ascencion*
  
• Would have a new prayer called Divine Light*
  
• 
  

Prayer Effects/Requirements:

• Divine Quickness- Level 25 prayer- Increases movement and attack speed by 5% while active
  
• Divine Haste- Level 50 prayer- Increases movement and attack speed by 10% while active
  
• Divine Speed- Level 75 prayer- Increases movement and attack speed by 20% while active
  
• Divine Blessing- Level 80 prayer- Increase Woodcutting, Fishing, Mining, Hunter, Thieving, Farming (and any gathering skill I am missing) by 5-10%{Not sure on exact percentage yet} (This does NOT mean the level of the skill but means the rate at which you; Get logs/Get ore/Catch/Etc. by 5-10% And the amount of your Harvest/Steal by 5-10%)
  
• Divine Healing Aura- Level 85 prayer- increase hitpoint restore rate of yourself and anyone whom is passive towards you (Meaning not attacking you) by 350% {Don't say its overpowered as even the standard prayer book's rapid heal is 200% restore rate} the prayer would only reach within a 3 cell radius and would have an icon of a pure heart floating above the persons head (Pure Heart meaning whatever you want it to mean, maybe a Golden Heart? With a Holy appeal to it?)
  
• Divine Ascencion- Level 99 prayer, any Cape of Achievement equipped- When activated the character would go through a short animation similar to the Prayer skill cape emote, the player would be pulled into the air by a holy light, sprout angelic wings then float to the ground while keeping the wings, the player would have the wings (showing through any armor/cape/etc.) untill the prayer is de-activated, the prayer would not be just for looks however, a player in Divine Form (df) would have (Please do post any tweaks for these bonuses) +60% defense, +50% attack, +40% strength, +35% range, +35% mage, +25% movement and attack speed, +15% non-combat skills (EXCLUDES: Prayer, Hitpoints, Attack, Strength, Defense, Magic, Range, and Summoning.)
  
• Divine Light- Level XX prayer, when active it causes you to glow with a holy light, this would work in place of lanterns, and just be a cosmetic show off type prayer
  

The reason for these prayers being in a different book is to put some cons into using this prayer book, such as you can't use protect 1 item, protect from xxx prayers, and other "needed" prayers. Everything in Runescape must have balance.

Prayer Quest:

• New quest called Divine Intervention
  
• More to be added
  

[Divine Intervention:
(Quest)

• Requires 50 prayer (Less than 860,000 players have this), 40 crafting, 40 firemaking, XX level in fletching, XX level in construction, 60 strength, etc. etc.
  
• Started by talking to a roaming monk (He would wonder throughout Runescape, like Bob the Jagex Cat)
  
• Monk would ask for help in rebuilding his church
  
• You would then help the monk by building a Divine Altar, benches, etc.
  
• Quest should take not be short, not be easy, require medium level stats in many stats
  
• The Divine Altar would come last (after you going through the trouble of building a Guilded Altar the monk refuses it and orders you to build another, you get an option to say something threatening, or simply to bite your tongue and build the Divine Altar, threatening him causes him to activate DA which scares you into building the Divine Altar)
  
• The Divine Altar will require an unreasonable amount of marble, gold, and other materials. (After getting these materials you learn that you didn't need them but instead the Divine Altar is built already but you need to drag it around from the back of the church, you drag it by creating a harness using 3 ropes)
  

The characters:
Monk- Romes Runescape like Bob The Jagex Cat, he is an older man, bossy, grumpy, forgetfull, he will have the player go to great lengths to do something only to change his mind (or forget) and have the player do something else.
Player- Helpfull, caring, annoyed.




*= All names subject to change


Please note that as of 7/12/09 only 10,405 players have 99 prayer.

(NOT FINISHED YET BUT I FEEL I MUST PROVE IM STILL WORKING LOL)

Feel free to post your thoughts/comments/suggestions anytime even though the idea is not complete yet.
Also a note to any moderators...
Please do not lock my thread due to it not being complete, I enjoy getting feedback at all points of development in my ideas and I do go slowly.
