In sigma, oskills will have their own skill icons (instead of the ???). There are many oskills that used to be class skills at some point, which means they had an icon back then. Some of these icons are a decade old (taken from median 2006). Of course, some oskills will have new icons because they were never class skills (such as Tantrum, Path of Flames, etc.)

Here are some examples of old skill icons which belong to oskills today... a bit of nostalgia, maybe you'll know some :)

A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
I don't recognise any of the ones that are not currently in the game FeelsBadMan.

Apart from 0069 since it used to be stealthmaster's avatar on the old forums I think? 77 looks badass tho.

In my honest opinion *no hate* black and white skill icons look very bad :/ I hope we get colored ones in sigma.

If you mean having red-colored icons for fire dmg oskills, blue for cold etc...

Could be even more cool-looking, tbh

So much nostalgia! Someone needs to make a matching quiz with all the old skills (including the blue icons from Median 2008 and earlier) to see how much we remember! I recognize most of them, but some I have no idea! Same could be done with runes, anyone else ever take a high rune (ON or something) and need to downgrade it to something small like a thul? and are able to recite every rune as you downgrade it without looking at it? Ohh the small things you remember when seeing the old skill icons :D.
