  • New Invention Elite Skill Added to RuneScape

    New Invention Elite Skill Added to RuneScape

    Jagex Games Studio added the new "Invention" skill today in RuneScape. It is apparently the game's "first Elite Skill." Sounds fancy!

This new skill tier differs from those long established in RuneScape, as Invention is not immediately unlocked for players. Instead, this skill must be earned by reaching level 80 in other skills, namely Smithing, Crafting and Divination.

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.
