Ok i know this may seem like an over-the-top idea but what if they created a creature taming skill?
Example your first creature would be given to you by a barbarian in from the fremennik village but it would be started off as an infant and would be low level horse.
It would grow from a baby to infant to preteen and so on and once its fully grown you could train more creatures,creatures with higher caliber of skills and the last creature should be a dragon,( which comes in many different forms).
It would all depending on your level, and levels 80 through 99 would be able to train dragons.
Now i know some of you may think this should be a summoning add on but i am not talking about summoning. This is no way at all like summoning due to the fact that you don't use shards or pouches and each creatures actions you would control. (once they are tamed of course).

(dragons attack pattern)

attack command:style 1! (bite)
attack command:style 2!(slash)
attack command:style 3!(stomp and slice)
attack command:special!(fire breath)

Each attack style would be accessible by the combat style icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Summoning... with dragons?

Summoning... with dragons?

I was just going to say that hahaha

[Caesaerian]

sort of but its quite different

[Claudia]

>sort of
>quite different.

Basically, Summoning with dragons. Which doesn't sound like a bad idea, but it doesn't really need its own skill. The closest skill to that would be like Riding, and that's...not happening.

[Riku]

We already have dragons as pets and there's a summoning skill. This is just a branch off of that.

Being able to age (grow)/train your dragon that you get at 99 summoning would be nice. However, as other members have said, this would just be an add-on to the summoning skill, and is not necessary as a separate skill.

[Caesaerian]

There's a lot more to this training than just riding and fighting you need to look at the bigger picture. The thing with summoning is that once you run out of points your follower leaves you, but with dragon and creature training you raise it from an egg or baby and train it to fight, fly, and grow.
The more it levels the more experienced you become and the higher the dragon or creature you can train. It's essentially taming.

If you think Jagex will add a full blown dragon, when they won't even add horses, I think you're mistaken..
At any rate, what about the annoyance of having massive dragons running everywhere?
You're basically saying we should have a companion, but what will that do to already easy monsters? It just sounds unplausible and overpowered. It does sound cool, but something that Jagex wouldn't look twice at.

so youre saying they should get rid of ancients too huh? beacause essentially its the same amount of power and you wouldnt even be able to ride the dragon and or creature around until level 80 and even then they would have posts to hook up your dragons and creatures all around runescape. the damage done by the creature is determined how well it was raised but that would also mean it would be more feral the tougher it is so you would have to balance it out and highest hit would be 300 to 350 for dragons alone

I agree with Riku, the first thing that popped in my head when reading this is that if Jagex won't add horses to the game (which would include riding and training them), they surely wouldn't add dragons. If you replace dragon in your sentences with horses, it's one in the same, and Jagex already said no to that idea, I don't think a different type of mount will change the outcome.

I just don't see Jagex doing it.

[The Green]

You obviously haven't read about having a dragon with the Summoning skill. It's a pet, not a familar. At this point in time, you can hatch a baby dragon at the Summoning level of 99 and feed it, but it will not grow. Also, the only pet you have that will actually do anything is the cat, and it will only hunt rats. Whatever, I still maintain that it's an add-on and not a separate skill.

No one is hating on your ideas, but providing reasonable arguments against them, which every idea has to go through. Just trying to point out using Jagex previous arguments, like no mounts.

[Addict Zeta]

I think this would be cool, but along with dragons there should also be griffins and horses you can ride. It would be a new skill called "taming" or something like that.

[Alfawarlord]

As a new skill I say no. I do like the idea of being able to control your summoning combat familiars more.

[PK_Not_Ok]

If JAGEX did ,make it, they would have to make all monsters in multicombat areas stronger, which would put players who haven't trained this skill at a disadvantage, and making it much harder to train in multicombat areas.
This would also make Runescape more like text based games, instead of the unique game that makes it brilliant.
And there are also all those arguments about mounts.

[Skillmayownu]

If jagex did do it, it would have to be part of the summoning skill, and you can already get pets, you just can't use them to fight.

They would also probably not be allowed in pvp, otherwise they would make it very easy to pk

They would have to take a very high summoning level to use, otherwise again, they would be overly powerful for low level people to use.

The idea of them growing is something we don't already have, but some of the pets already hatch from eggs ( I might still have a raven egg in my bank)

I think It would be cool to, at 99 summoning AND construction, be able to build a dragon lair in your home. You could take care of it, and I guess dragon eggs could be a super rare drop, so having a pet dragon would be some sort of prestigous thing. I mean it goes like this. (World 31, house parties) Hey come to my house! We have a table... but not just any table, a MAHOGANY TABLE (If you get that joke I love you forever) And then you say, I have a gigantic black dragon that flies around at my house and eats bears... f**king bears

this......... this is win.


asto the tameing skill nty as for ridable mounts i honestly dont see the issue with them as long as they arent massive and provide no speed bonuses
