Update - 50 Hunter Finally achieved 50 Hunter. I actually enjoy the falconry and probably plan on staying there until 63. But before I continue my Hunting journey, I need to finish off Runecraft and keep working on Agility, which I'm dreading. Got a half-key while I was there so that'll give me a little something extra to do.

Yes, it is very possible. What level should I begin Teaks? and I assume my only true option is to cut-and-drop unless you know a banking method?

Ok, do you know the best teak-cutting route for someone that has 10 HP and is very limited to the quests they're able to do?

Thanks, Robin :thumbsup: I guess I could have asked you in-game when we were chattin' but it just came to me. Anyone else have estimates? This is the best I've heard so far, with calculations and such, but I'd still like to see what others think.

I've asked numerous people in-game but all of their answers don't seem to compare very well so I wanted to hear from the forum's point of view. 70-99 Woodcutting (approx. 180K Willows) what kind of time frame can I expect for completion if I do roughly 5 hours/day? I know the estimate won't be exact but I'd like to know what I must consider. I will be using Dragon Axe (which I cannot wield so -1 inventory slot) and I will be in Barbarian Outpost.

Just about. I feel the utmost respect towards anyone with 99 Agility. That type of persistance is beyond my knowledge. Yes, I've moved on to let the Falcons do the rest of my hunting. I enjoy it, actually. And 1100 is so pathetic, if you think about it. I felt so noob-ish when I spammed it to all my friends, but an accomplishment is an accomplishment I suppose : Everyone's gotta begin somewhere. No major updates as of late. Soon to hit 50 Hunter/Ruencrafting but I got pretty sick of it all and decided to Woodcut for a bit. Got a few levels in it (considering for my next 99) and it gives me a chance to cool down from the skills that I despise.

I love you first screenshot. How old is it? And nice find with the glitch =D>

I think the point is that it honestly doesn't matter who was the first to stumble upon it. When it is released, you won't see posts like "OMG so-and-so was right!!" because it doesn't make any difference to anyone else here. The fact that someone goes crazy about "i found it first z0mg gimme credit" just shows how shallow they really are. Get a grip. When in doubt, assume someone else has already beaten you to the punch.

Regardless of who found it or not, it'll make some impression on the current gameplay. Though, I agree, these additions are a bit delayed in their timing, surely they'll still have some sort of credible value. Reminds me of The Simpson's Movie, being a decade too late it still gathered enough interest to make an impression; expect the same for newly released Dragon items. ...wow.

The only way further restrictions will be applied is if this source of 'income' is profitable enough to begin the Pin-seller's services again. Jagex only felt it being a personal attack when major GP-sellers begin to use their horribly-flawed Pin system against them, resulting in major profit-loss on their end. Buy 1M for $5, buy a $10 Pin for 1M; double your profit. Why was this such an issue? Because the ability to sell GP as RWT goes was rapidly successful in ratio of the cases that were not. Sure, Jagex was able to cut down major sellers a long time ago, before it got personal, but this only increased the hoarding process & developed a supply-and-demand system that was actually quite scary. To discourage the personal attacks, they had one last ditch effort to thwart it all out which was to destroy all sources with a Trade-limit & disabled Pking/Dueling. As devastating a blow it was to everyone game-wide, it pretty much solved all their problems in one month. Thinking of their players, they established alternative systems that appealed to our best interests, while keeping the RWTers at bay. One could argue that the Bounty Hunter & Loaning System flaws benefit RWT too much, but the sources are remote. A year ago, one could easily sell 60M and transfer it under any circumstances , yet today those same circumstances are quite limited & at a much greater risk. Not only do major sellers have PayPal (which ironically enough happens to be the best source of internet funds) working against them, the same sellers have to worry about mishaps in-game. Perhaps another player kills him first? The buyer demands a refund that he doesn't wish to issue; thus creating a PayPal claim which results in the buyer's immediate depletion of sources. How can one expect to stay in business through such risk? Sure, this was all possible a year ago, but the likeliness of the risk wasn't quite as well presented. The thought that the loan system could generate such a success with little effort isn't a well-thought idea. Sure, anything is possible, but I highly doubt there will ever be a major 'loaner' that'll benefit a year's earnings in what Rs2Pleasant or Duke Freedom earned in a day. Just isn't logically with the type of restrictions that are applied. The assumption that these updates are likely to bring back the RWT days of old is an ignorant one. Jagex disabled almost all possibilities in one fatal sweep while still considering the legitimate players. There will always be RWT and as long as it isn't as cut-throat as it use to be, it shouldn't be an issue that you should dwell upon.

You know you're old school when you use to get your pixel-giggles at poor souls falling fatal to the Tangle Vines. ...or if you have Bunny Ears :

Update - 35 Agility Finally finished with the Gnome Agility Course. After completing the Barcrawl, I'm now prepared to head over to Barbarian Outpost once I've achieved 50 Hunter. The other good news about this is that it is now I'm ranked so that leaves me with only 2 skills unranked; Slayer (which cannot be determined due to unknown Genie/Exam randoms) & Mining (only 1 level away from being ranked).

Update - 40 Hunter & 1100 Total Gaining 40 Hunter achieved my 1100 Milestone Total. Hunter is a very interesting skill. I'm not extremely crazy about it but soon, hopefully, it'll pay off. I definitely despise the birds but the ferrets aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. It is good training before I run off and try to catch some chins. I've also been doing some Agility & Runecrafting but no big updates on those as I've still not gained all my commitment motivation back yet.

Good luck on your goals. I shall run into you again during Agility training, I presume. 99 Defense with 10 HP would have been even better. Doubt you'd wish to hit the Varrock Dummy 13m times though :lol:

Thanks guys! Update - Roundin' Out Skills 99 Crafting really wore me out and I'm just taking it easy nowdays, only committing a couple of hours to Runescape. Here in a few days or so, I'll be back to my normal routine, probably. Until then, I'm just messing around trying to get my Agility & Hunter skills up on the board; while doing the occasional Runecraft run & Alchemy. I figured it was about time to do some more quests but I still cannot do the majority of the ones left because I have yet to find a high mage friend who is willing to run around with me and cast Vengeance. Hopefully, soon, I'll have that sorted out.

Nevermind, was able to get a buddy to help me in-game.

Having a small issue on this quest. I'm at the part where I'm attempting to get the Silver Feather from the Kebbit. After Inspecting the Pedestal to find the Feather missing, the guide says I must "track" the footprints to the opening to find the Kebbit. I have no "track" option nor does any Kebbit come out of the opening. I walked all around, as if there was a pattern to it but no use. I inspected the rocks and one said "It looks as if something was on top of this" but still nothing in the opening. Am I missing a step? I meet the quest requirements & I have the noose wand equipped so not sure what the issue is.

Hey dude! I think it is funny I've been down in the Den with you for so long and I'm just now realizing you have a blog. Anyways, very very detailed and interesting blog. I love it! (PS: Do I see myself in a few of your pictures? I do!)

I find it ironic that we ran into each other in-game not too long after you posted in my blog & I responded that we might run into each other. Pays to know the right people, I suppose. Very nice blog & I love how well-rounded your stats are; exactly what I'm trying to accomplish now. See you in-game!

Thanks Grade! :thumbsup: Mag3 - Thanks dude! As far as I know, I am (will be) the only one in existence. While there are quite a few Mage Pures, I have not heard nor seen one with Bunny Ears, or Scythe for that matter. Indeed, it is a small world, especially 99. Generally the best of the best stay connected with each other so I'm sure we'll run into each other sooner or later.

Well, I did the Barcrawl and I'm here to confirm that it only dropped my HP to 8 (-2). I assume the Tip.it guide is wrong and the person that took the initial investigation didn't realize that the drop -HP by percentage, not a base figure. I'm going to email the proper authority to initiate the change. So, in conclusion, skillers aren't doomed to training in Gnome.

Added you guys! Update - 50 Thieving Well, after a couple of hours spent at the Master Farmers, I finally got to 50 Thieving. Got a small collection of seeds which sold for roughly 500K; not bad for such little work.

Okay, scratch EVERYTHING that has been said by me up to this point. Let's try to sort through the confusion. I don't care about dying, losing items, whatever you assume I meant. All my concern is about the question IF the bartender looks past my death and signs my card or if going -17 HP and dying disables the bartender's response, making it seem like I wasn't able to complete my tasking for drinking his brew."

Thanks guys! Robin - I appreciate it. I'll add you. I'm always interested in meeting new people that are 'worth' my time, so to speak. It gets kind of old to have people come up to me "z0mg 99 craft bunny!!!1! add meh?!" and such. That goes for everyone else here, that would like an additional mature friend around. Just let me know if you'd like to add me. Update - 38 Thieving Finally finished with the damned HAM Headquarters. I tried the Silk Stall earlier but I was KO-ed by a Knight. Not fun. Anyways, I'll continue my Thieving journey with the Master Farmers & put this HAM outfit away. I did get a number of Level 1 Clues but 80% of them I couldn't complete due to my combat stats, or lack there of. I also got a number of lower runes & junk items but that's the bulk of the 'goods'. I did get 5 Lighters but I went ahead and test tried it because I had never had them before.
