Merchant clans? Literally, I've been trying to buy sharks for a while now, even at highest it doesn't sell. Are those merchant clans trying to control the shark revenue? :thumbdown:

Agreed, although 99 in anything is an achievement imo and anyone getting any of them should be proud about it What do you mean its a greater achievement O_O Well, if your saying its hard training with a d scimmy I agree with you then. It's literally hell

boy, I see those joe's in runescape all the time. Really, granite and d med doesn't even match >.> And lol, I am literally a quest/history freak. Ask me anything about a quest and I'll tell you. (I love bob)

yep, I used a d scimmy. That was NOT fun. I sold that rascal to the .g.e. once i hit 99 str, before I got the cape. Lol

I am very happy that so many people were supportive of me getting 99 strength. I would like to share how I got 99 strength in the first place, and the methods of doing so. I want other people to feel how I feel right now \ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Contents: 1.What stats should I use, and what level attack/defense do I need to be successful? 1a. What if I'm a pure? 2.What do I train on for good experience? 3.How long will it take to get 99 strength? 4.What weapons should I use to train strength? 5.What kind of skills should I train with strength?(As in during your goal to 99, you also use strength to raise other skills) 6.Why should I get 99 strength? 7.Questions? 8.Faq. __________________________________________________________________________________ #1 Well, generally, about the stats. I found it more comfortable to train strength when I had- 80 attack(It's no use to train strength if you can't hit the monster well enough can you?) 40 defence( for rune pures) 70 defence AT LEAST, if you are a regular trainer.(Torags, I'll explain why you should use this later) #1a If you are pure....well. I did train a pure before, and it wasn't very tedious work. If you want a pure with a decent amount of hitpoints, then train on experiments, till level 60. If you're wondering, the reason why I don't recommend soul wars, its.... (Please do not take this as an offensive statement.) #1 There is NO hp exp, even if you do afk(which I don't like) as you use zeal on strength, you will not get hp experience. So even if you have 99 strength all from zeal, you will have 10 hitpoints, but you can also use extra time to use zeal on hitpoints to what you want it to be, but isn't it the best if it's in par with your combat?.(What is the point of that?) #2 IF you DO train in soul wars, as train on pyrefiends, you will need to raise slayer(I will mention this later) and it needs to be level 30. I normally don't see pures with 30 slayer, but if you can manage it with 1 defence(For robe pures) then go for it. Otherwise, if your a 40 defence pure, then go ahead and train slayer. #3 Pures will die alot(I'm sorry if i am offensive, but it's true) I personally aim for pures, as their defense stinks, and I 1-2 hit K.O them. 2. Well, about experience.... I would say you should train slayer, it gives you side experience, and you access a variety of monsters which drops alot of stuff, and also give decent experience. For example: Abberant Spectres- Rannars( common) Snapdragon seeds, Rune full helms. Another thing is, if you start training slayer from level 1 and level 10 strength, you'd probably get 85 slayer by the time you max strength. Which means you can train on Abbysal Demons! For 70+ strength Pest Control(Not really reliable, as people lose and win all the time, and the exp ration is 1:2) Soul wars( I really recommend you be 90+ combat for this. with at least 70 in atk,str,and def, otherwise, you can afk(which I do NOT recommend) Yak's(Boring for me, but good experience) Tortise(People ask me about why to train on these, well, their shells are 7k ea, and theyre about the same as yak's, and have horrible defence, and also have a decent spawn rate. Just make sure to bring food.) ( I trained str from 70-85 here, made about 10mil) For 1+ Train on guards until level 20 strength Then from 20-40 train at hill giants 40-60 lesser demons 60-70 train on any of before Big NO-NO'S to training Rock crabs- I do not understand why people train here, even though theyre easy to kill. you have to activate them in order to get them to move next to you, and there are also jerks who bring a cannon. So if you can, go train at yak's. (More to come) 3. 99 strength... Depends on you. It would average about 900 soul wars points, so 100 hours if you go v.i.a. soul wars, but I doubt you'll win all that, so lets say you win at a 50/50 ratio. So 250 hours. Otherwise, if you train to 99, about 150 hours of pure combat.( you can keep track if you use barrows armor at 70+) 4. I had ALOT of debate with other people, and we all came to a conclusion that: For people with little to no money- Dragon Scimitar+Rune defender= Best way to go Decent amount- Saradomin Sword There is really no option for a better weapon, those two are the best to train strength. Whip DOES train strength, but only with controlled. So if you want to get 99 stats for atk,def,and strength at the same time.. Then good luck. Oh, and please don't use a godsword on a monster with less than 90 hitpoints, you waste your time and damage, you won't be able to use the godswords full potential(Unless it's an sgs) 5. Training strength with slayer is the best way to go, doesn't force you to keep training at the same spot, and normally the monsters are pretty easy(Unless it's skeletal wyverns and black dragons) Another very very long way, but very very very very profitable way is barbarian fishing to 99 strength. You'll make about 150+ mil with this way, but you will take a very long time. Blast furnace, keep pumping the heat pump, but make sure to bring a spirit terrorbird to refuel yourself. 6. Well, for 40+ dmg with a whip and 60+ with a godsword, yeah I'd love 99 strength. Who doesn't want high numbers? It also makes training attack and defence easier, as you hit alot higher. And it's the #1 skill for pkers. 7.None 8.None Sorry, I'm a bit tired, I have alot more ideas but I'll keep this updated. :pray:

True that man. And I can't stand things like PC and bandits... Bandits are annoying when people come kill yours PC is hard cause there are nubs who always come and crash your world. So yea,,, SLAYER FTW <3

I'm no expert, but I don't think 84 attack, 80 defense and 99 strength adds up with "usually" using your whip -- you're practically a strength pure. TO everyone who quoted,thanks for your support. and punitive. I usually DO use my whip, but when I hit 90 str, I stuck to my d scimmy. When I hit 99, I instantly sold the scimmy :pray: =P

lol 100 hours. Yeah, probably took me that long. But really, the last level is thanks to soul wars =X I had a wyvern task, and I couldn't get myself to do it =P and I think it took me around 200 hours, slacked off and I usually use my whip lol O_O

Well, I think magic isn't really a focused pking skill. It's more like freeze/bind, then attack with either range of warrior.

In my opinion, range is in par with melee. Range got dragonfire bolts, which can snipe even melee to death. Although melee got the dds or d claws to even it out, yeah. Crossbow specs and void+dark bow= domination. But melee can counter with its unique arsenal of weapons( godsword,whip,etc.) Well? :cry:

Thanks guys, I achieved 99 strength, and it feels great thanks to you guys =) Thanks again

hey dude grats on 99 rcing, I've seen you with 91 like 2 weeks ago =P Thanks guys, you really made my day. :oops:

Thank you guys -cries- you make me feel alive again! -Hugs all-

lol.slayer. I thought it was a noob skill, hey, there are tons of monsters that don't require a slayer level, just kill those! Wrong. I got hooked to the skill, it's alot more interesting to train than train at yak's for 99 str,atk,def,and hp. You waste alot of time, yes, but you won't get bored, and theres a variety. 82 slayer took me 1 month, and I didn't even know.(lol) I just trained =)

I am currently 70k exp from 99 strength. I told my clan members, and one of them said- "Sorry to say man, but 99 strength is so common, I see at least 20 people with a cape everyday, I even saw 10 people perform the str cape emote in a single line." Clan member- I'm not demoralized by the guy, but the thought popped up in my mind. Well, there are 80,000 people(estimate) with a str cape, it wouldn't matter would it? But if I think of the effort I put in the skill, it's worth it. My friend said that 13million exp is not easy, and even if it's "common" it's still hard. Anyone got their thoughts on this? (P.S. I am waiting to get off school to finish this gap, and finally use my whip after leaving it in the bank for 1 month.) :thumbsup:

actually I think it affects rannars(Well I'm not sure if it's rare or not) Snapdragon seeds( I got 5 in a row, I'm pretty sure it's rare) Eh I'm thinking the ring of wealth just spin the wheel for a rare drop the 3rd time. It's like doing a 3 roll slot machine but hitting all 3 blanks, and you get a coupon for a free roll and it happens again.

I got myself a beserker ring, and disposed of my (ring) of wealth. I got to say, I am getting alot better drops with my beserker rather a wealth O_O Heres an example- Regular Spectre trip- 250k(with wealth) With beserker ring- 325k I did the task around 20 times each(Durandel hates me) So what do you guys think? Oh right, I got 2 dragon platelegs drop from iron dragons with warrior ring =P 8-)

you made the thread twice O_O Waterfiends! Skeletal Wyverns! Nechryals! Dust devilz! All i can think of! =D>

Heh, well it isn't really bad, but it's not good either. if you multitask put both screens together, I learned the hard way. I multitasked at...oh yeah amoured zombies. Died from not paying attention for 7 minutes(Was using tank armor) Lost 2mil. But it keeps you entertained if you're fishing, or wcing, stuff like that. So its 50/50 ^^ :pray:

Well, a while ago, I was banned. Permanetly. On a diffrenet account, for saying omg I know zezima's account, I own it!( whoever reported me for that was not smart, and didn't understand what a joke is) So I started a new account. But when I appealed to the permanet banning, I was unbanned! But at a very VERY risky price. I have 10.0 black marks/10 So if I even commit one little bad thing... I'm a goner. Jagex, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A 2ND CHANCE ILY! P.S. if this is in the wrong section, can you move it? ^^

I'm hitting 100k till 97, but i thought, how about I get 97 of everything before 99str? After all, I hit pretty high now. But the cape looks so macho..... Anyone got tips if I should get equal stats, or get to 99 str first? P.S. I'm training via slayer/str. 80 slayer currently

Lately, I've been thinking, and I need some help. I has 83 atk 95 str 80 def In soul wars, I see tons of people with full bandos, and it's extremely hard to hit them( Thats what I think, don't say there are better armor cause I know) Dragonfire shield looks attractive...very. But I will lose my godsword if i buy it, and I can probably get my own visage if I no life at dragons for 2 months. I'm aiming for 99 str, so I like the bgs. But I'm thinking about the other 2 options, as I can use full bandos with rune def and d scimmy to train, or use full torags with dfs to train. Anyone want to help me out? Thanks :thumbsup:

Nah, I vote failing should be turned into Neiling, that guy fails like triple as much as fail itself. o.O (no offense to Neil, you're really unlucky, man) lol ty,ty. Well at least I got some pity ^^ heres another fact I want to slam in. 1.(This was before trade restrictions were inforced) I was a nooby level 60 with full guilded rune, and well....(The guilded was from a friend) I traded with some dude, and he showed me gold bars and a rune plate, then he said he can make gold armor by high alching it O_O( I believed him) So he traded me a gold bar and rune plate, and I traded him a glided platebody He told me to superheat it, then he logged off =D>

Heh.... Failures huh O_O Heres 5 of them to keep you guys in awe =O 1. I was on black dragon task, had to go pee, so left my guy to finish the black drag....little did I know it died and dropped a visage... when i finished off in the bathroom, I went to my room, I saw a visage. I was like OMGWTFBBQ, then it disappeared. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: 2. On a treasure trial, I was supposed to walk west, and I ended up walking east from varrock to mortanyia.... 3. I (almost)high alched a pair of d claws, thank god they were borrowed. 4. My clan was in a war with another clan(This was before wildy was gone) and I ended up wearing my enemies team cape, and slaughtered my own clan.(I got kicked afterwards, I know I am so dumb) 5. I mistook a dust devil red vamb drop for d chain 15 times in a row, and 16th was real and i didn't bother to pick it up.... More to come =P

Well, what are you using the bgs FOR? And I wouldn't... you get used to high hits after a while..lol
