good luck on 91 con. I got 92 just a few hours ago \

GOD!! Just as I was thinking it would be nice to grab a few levels there. Solution: full inventory of waterskins except 2 say you have granite A and B Mine granite rock A Mine granite rock B Drop granite A just as you get granite B Mine granite rock A Drop granite B just as you get granite A Continue to infinity......

You should try construction, it's a completely different skill from all the others, extremely customizable and so much you can do with a house.

Construction 92. Half way there.... Now I'm going to be making some nats to get the cash for 99 con.

I want 99 before I do the house, but it's definitely the next thing on my list also here's the moment (I like to make screencaps every 70, 80 and 90s for my skills): Notice the house layout, I spent a lot of time making it look nice. I find some people should really think when they make a house instead of placing rooms anywhere without a proper layout in mind.

Alex, they are seaking profit killing people who are well aware of the risk they take. You, or any rcer for that matter, are NOT new-born babies, you DO know the risk and you are not 100% defenceless against them. If rcers were NOT aware of the risks then it wouldn't be fair, but that is not the case. also you are definetly not defenceless (well you can choose not to be, but that would be your fault) you can: - teleport - bring food (safer but less runes per run thus less efficient) - use the skeles for cover - bring d hide armor - or be simple, grab a bow and nail them down. This game is about everything, including making profit. The pkers couldn't care less about what you feel, they just want to make their cash. That's why whenever I die I teleport back and immediately ask how much they want to give my stuff back, then no hard feeling and it's back to runecrafting (or pouch collecting if I fail to drop them). Most RC pkers are not bloodthirsty pkers who camp there the entire time just to see runecrafters squirm in pain. They want to make cash (even though it's not the most efficient way by far).

update construction: 90

Excactly, there's no return on firemaking thus the cape is more admirable despite it's very generous exp rates This isn't about which capes are the hardest to get, in fact quite the opposite, it's looking at which capes are the easiest to get. A lvl 99 miner will be extremely admired, so will a lvl 99 agility because they have done something that takes a LONG time to do. PS: these all take hours to get, the measurment is done in months (or weeks for the faster ones)

technically a skiller in the sence that I love skills

The two caracteristics of getting a skillcape are time and investment more time = harder obviously, but this means that generous amounts of exp per hour is a lot less time and a lot easier. This is why cooking 99 is so easy, and why runecrafting 99 is one of the hardest investment only works for skills where money is involved. Some skills have more or less of a return on investment, some have no return. The more the return and the less the invesment means an easier skill to get 99. When getting fletching 99, you get most of the money you spend back and you don't have to spend as much as you do for other capes, thus meaning fletching has a high return and low investment, which is the reason why it's so easy to get (easy being of course a relative term). Construction has a massive investment and NO return which is why it's the rarest skillcape in the game to this day. The most common skillcape or the least admirable, would be the cape which has generous exp rates, low investment and high return.

update construction lvl: 88. Things are going remarkably smoothly

Thanks for the support. Update Construction lvl: 83

agreed, it's hard to be admired when everyone standing around you has the same cape. Hence why I want 99 Con, it's one of the rarest.

They are needed. What good is it if everyone can use the abyss without risk? That's just too cheap. The pkers are there as a barrier to entry for those who want to become abyssal rcers, which helps limit the amounts. Basically, they are just seeking profit What I can't stand are the idiots who: - blame me for teleporting (that's all I can do to escape death) - use the SAME strategy in the SAME way after it clearly not going to work (like running after me with a d baxe after it was pretty obvious that they can't inflict enough damage in time) - keep insisting on ancients after I teleported rendering their attempts useless (They're not thinking straight and wasting ancients spells, but they are also wasting my suplies)

Update/Bump/revival Got enough cash for 92 construction setting me half way there (I'll get 92 next week) then I'll have to craft some more nats and do the final construction to 99. This will be done in febuary most likely

18,6. Noncombat skills ftw

Will have enough cash to make the jump to 90 construction next week. This is going to be a busy vacation :mrgreen:

Interesting article, but I would like to know a few of the sources for this information concerning the Wall Street Journal, especially where it says that they consider using MMORPGs as economic models.

2 years ago almost. Got members the day before slayer came out, after about 4 months of f2p (my parents were so against it!!) trained various skills. highlights was smithing in the high 70s. Worked on practically everything. Did lots of quests at an early stage (I was known as "the lvl 68ish with a d hally" for quite some time) there's a lot more (runecrafting related) that happened, I'll write more later maybe

Thanks for answering the questions everything in my house already is at top level (except the dungeon), I got scrying pools, marble frame teleport portals full guilded alter etc..... And I plan on going even further. Possibly I'll try to get 99, that should hopefully increase the demand. Otherwise that leaves the problem of me possibly not being online. Also, the house location can be reconsidered.

tripsis, thanks a lot. That makes things a lot easier for me, I use to be simply using carved oak tables. I think I'll do the larder because I carry 24 planks per trip which conviniently divides by 8. Considering doing teaks is a foolish idea.

I mostly do that when they brag about how they "own me" (yeah, like it's really hard to completly destroy someone unarmed) I acctually just taunted him after that, and we had several "duels" where he did everything he could to try and pk me, without success. I consider it a victory if I make it out alive :thumbsup:

Figured it might be ridiculously expensive but slower? that's good to know. Now I simply used oak carved tables but doorways? where are those?

about the rooms, I've thought out my house ever since I was building it (even drew out some blueprints on paper) It's perfectly symetrical and quite easy to access every room, but yes, presentation is key! I will probably make a navigation guide to my house too. about the name, that's an excellent idea! Right now I can't think of one but that's an important suggestion

This shows the true value of politeness, congratz my friend. My most awkward moment was when I ended up tbed in the abyss (this occasionally happens when the mages are too slow). but then the guy pms me asking how to kill runecrafters? :S
