tbh skills that can be bought to get 99 are noob skills, but this is only the simple skills such as Fletching (the noobiest skill). I wouldn't say firemaking is a nooby skill as many ppl say they will get 99 but give up as it is very boring. Other 'buyable' skills like herblore, pray, cook, construction and so on are to be admired. This is because they cost a fair amount of gp for example: Herblore ~ 110M Pray ~ 130M Construction ~ 90M Cook ~ 5M Bearing in mind these are approximations Skills that you have to work for suck as the cb skills are to be admired as garuntee you will walk past a player with a combat related skillcape and think 'God i want that cape'. In a way every skillcape should be admired as the player who has them has been determined to get them and has not given up. If some1 walks past you and says 'NOOB' just simply say, i dont see you with a skillcape or anything decent so that means you must be a noob Keep ur goals going, dont give up or you will miss out on that skillcape you desire :thumbsup:
