D Jay99

This one just arrived today, my first phone. :)

I have an answer to this. First, the goal of the game is not necessarily to get 99 in everything. Most skills have no content associated with high levels. Farming, for example, stops completely once you can plant Torstol, and all level-ups afterwards have no relevance to gameplay. The reason 2376 total is worth getting is to see what goes on in those maxed-out forums. Second, if there's a skill you really want to get to 99, why are you wasting your time on something else? If you really want 99 agility, but you go for 99 firemaking instead, that's 85 hours you could have spent training agility. By the time you're done with firemaking, thieving, fletching, cooking, and any other "easy" skillcapes, you could have already achieved 99 in whatever skill it was you actually wanted to get 99 in. Third, if you do decide to quit, then if you do the ones you enjoy first, at least you'll have put time towards something you enjoyed doing, rather than something you were just grinding out to get it over with. That said, I don't base my respect for anyone on what items they're wearing. I base my respect on what they say. The most a skillcape could make me feel towards another player is envy. 99 in any skill represents nothing except that the player has spent some significant amount of time training that skill. I completely agree with this. What makes you so sure you're not going to quit before you manage to finish the skills that have to be done and finally move on to skills you do like? Honestly, just finish the skills you like first, and if you're still playing by the time you've done that you can always train skills you don't like.

94 by Jad, I was brewed up to 100+ hp though so I didn't even die. :D

Same. :) I skill for a while, and then I go back to slayer to train combat. Quests and stuff are just things that have to be done, because they help with skilling/slayer.

I pot when I'm at 10/9/8 levels below the potted max, depending on task length and how many sets I have with me.

Tank range normal velds in meiyerditch dungeon, using void + 10% pray + ranging familiar + range pots. When I tried that at 82 range I got 72k xp/h, and didn't even lose much cause of their drops.

Good job, good luck with 88 summoning! :D 9/10

Daddy I want a steel titan!@@ Nice levels, and happy birthday :D Also, instead of turning everything to off (I assume you don't permanently play like that), just press the game button to get rid of all the chat and stuff.

Very nice! Good job on sticking to it all the way, even after burning out on rc a few times. :thumbup: :thumbup: 9/10 (10/10 for the awesome story) Good luck with your new goals, you'll need it :shock: You're way too nice for this world tbh

Good luck with both your goals and real life! :D

Which 'long' thing is 'harder'? That's what this is about, they both take a long time to level. But, how hard it is to stick to levelling?

I think RS celebs in RL would be a way more interesting topic.

Don't worry, you're safe :P Thanks everyone :D

Have you ever given thought to the possiblity that everyone rates strength highly for a reason? I think the reason is being obsessed about the max hit being 1-2 higher. yeah but you also have to take into consideration that at some point, slightly better str bonus is better than higher attack bonus. for example, VS a low def monster or opponent, having additional attack bonus will not result in significant hit rates, while having a better str bonus garantees that you will have better overall damage dealt. That is a good point, on monsters with really low defence strength bonus would be more important. But, if you care that much about faster xp you should be using 10% strength or piety, and wear some prayer boosting armour (pros top/verac skirt for example) instead of bandos. Your point still holds true for the dfs/defender and warrior/zerker options though.

Because it is something you look at alot. :? I just don't really care what my weapon looks like, as long as it gets the job done. I honestly don't see why you would care about how you look while training, I'd whack stuff with a giant carrot if it had good stats.

87.54 :

I got ~18k xp/task 83-88 slayer. So, that would be around 73 tasks to get 85. Summoning seems to be 0.8 summoning xp/slay xp or something, so getting 85 slayer would get you around 1m xp in charms, or close to level 86. Since you don't need melee xp but do need charms, abyssal demons would probably be better to kill.

If you ask me, both of you are equally annoying.

Why would you care about how they look?

Thanks for the awesome rates/replies :D I love them too :anxious:

Thanks everyone NO WAY I'm getting 90 mining. Well maybe. I said that about 85 too. But no, not in the near future. :P

If you want to be slightly efficient while slaying, you'll have to pay about as much attention to is as to hunter. Of course, you can look away for about 10-20 secs while you kill a monster, but you can't exactly do a lot in that short time. You can look away from hunter too once you have all of you traps set up, but that isn't efficient either.
