Player Owned Ports?

So I expect this update to be released on tuesday. My question is about the 3 sets of armor also being released with this update.

I'm currently working on getting all the skills required to make the 3 sets of armor (90 crafting, 90 rc, 90 smithing). I will achieve this within 1 week of tuesday, which is the expected release date of the armor.

However, I was talking about it in my clan's chat and a member told me the stuff to make 1 full armor set is suppose to take months to gather with the ports, I've read through the runescape wiki, the runescape website and I can find NOTHING saying this. Was this just a troll at work? Or will it really take THAT long for me to be able to make these 3 full sets, even after achieving all the required levels?

If you have gotten the same information as my clan-mate did, please link me to the source so I can try to learn more. If you think he's just talking shit, just say so lol

 

where did you find all this armor set info?? i all i saw was the intent to release the ports. sorry for mucking up ur thread if i am.

 

In the BTS post, they mentioned that there will be new armour and food etc introducted into the game. If you create a tradable version, it will have less stats and when it degrades, it will be unrepairable. If you make the nontradable armor, you will keep it yourself, have the best stats in the game and be able to repair it when it degrades with rsgp, or items found during the voyages..

At least that's what i'm under the assumption of. However I don't believe there is anything that said the time of which it takes to get the armor. I know you need to 'find or unlock' the plans in which to make the armor, but I'm pretty sure nobody is aware how long that will take.

 

Runescape is dead, they keep releasing new and shit updates
Why can't there be an old school version

 

This is all the info I can find as well. My clan-mate must have just been trolling. I sure hope it doesnt take months. Thats just 1 more possiblity about this armor that might piss me off though.

Im putting in a bunch of time and money to get the 90s required to make it as quick as humanly possible. There are many factors that may piss me off. If it looks dumb after I spend all this time, I'll be upset. If I go through getting these 90s as quick as possible and throwing extra mills around instead of making a profit to get the 90s, I'll also be upset. I'm risking it and puting my mood in the hands of Jagex, they havnt done to well with that in the past, but hopefully this time they will please me.

 

Hopefully this outdoes add any more aspects to the game which will screw it up.

 

Most of the information that we all know are only released via BTS videos. Without any solid and credible proof, I would believe its a troll attempt.

 

There was talk of maybe having to discover blueprints for the armours, but the idea behind pop is that you send your ship out to find resources.

I suspect this is why people believe it maybe take longer, depending how long it takes to gather the resources for the armours.

 

I really wish they would do something more with the smithing skill and making money with it, 99 smithing these days is kinda like "meh"

 

It's going to be like DG rewards, so expect it to take some time. If its really that good a months reasonable, as it'll stop the raging newfags from getting it, as they'll give up.

 

Lol just what the game needs, more grinding and raging. Hopefully PoP will be more reflective on skill and not luck/time spent.

 

how are they? havent tried them yet.

 

Exactly what you'd expect if you read the BtS. Basically time consuming minigame that might be beneficial, but ultimately only affects part of the Runescape community.

 

Yeah, that's a problem with rs; It get's more and more elitistic. You see cunts at GE won't even talk to noobs. Any 'big game' and it requires hundreds of hours, spent grinding.
