Judging by his previous name of Host Fors, I am guessing he was a dice host so I doubt he needs any GP from this point. Gratz to Forsberg888 on 200m cooking.

Gemeos, we have not forgot about Geel, we discussed him a few pages back in terms of top 5 players to 5.2b exp overall and him being a top competitor. And good luck Hardstylez on getting into the top 25. What are you plans exp/wise and skill wise for the upcoming year?

I do not think the skill will be a buyable like the skills we have today. It's a complimentary skill to Divination, I foresee some kind of gathering involved other than divine energies. It would make it out of reach for many players and quite unfair to release pure "buyable" at this point.

Expect Geel to have 200m Div in just over a month probably around 6/7 to achieve it depending on how others play. Otherwise, he's putting up some impressive numbers since returning. Glad to see him back. Also for new skill, I wouldn't count out Geel or Forsberg888. Geel started Div late and was still in the running top 2 until he took a little break. Fors can also hammer it out. I'm sure it will be interesting. Also... If it doesn't include much GP I could see no xpwaste up there too. He can put in the hours, and he also started div even later while finishing off 200m fish.

Definitely, he will continue with sinks and daily challenges for DG. And @ Kr148, looks like smith is his next skill of choice. Not sure whether artisans workshop or rune platelegs... I will assume platelegs.

Roger Al has hit 200m strenght for 200m number 13. Grats

no xpwaste has huge potential as well. 200m fish, wc, and high div with a massive work effort. I wouldn`t count him out of getting 5.2b exp+ from what I`ve seen. GP may be an issue, but lots of warband potential with the amount of exp left.

Roger Al got 200m fishing exp on January 24, 2013. Rocktail prices were 1,021 gp each at that point, and a max of around 2200 ea during his fishing period which only lasted a couple months... and he fished for a year. He made no where near 1.5b gp. Buddhism would be much lower than Roger Al, he only has 66m fish, 21m runecraft, and 30m agility. Of course if he had gp he could be up there but he`s not as far up as you`d think. Also, does anyone know what Forsberg888 is doing for his firemaking gains? ps. thanks for fixing my double post :)

Rocktails do not make a lot of gp. Barely enough to pay for half of some buyables to 200m.

It seems to me like Roger Al should be quite high up on the list in time left to 200m all. He has 200m fishing, woodcutting, runecrafting, slayer, and 60m agility. Could you compare him to the top 5 in time left Gemeos? It also looks as though he lacks gp. I wonder what damage he could do in the top players to 5.4b if he had the capital to do it.

I don't think Jdelacroix has received any donations, the others, I'm not sure. Either way most of them have made gp in a rather shady way or taken advantage of a few things.

Forsberg888 continues steamrolling the ranks, we can expect him to overtake Paperbag in a week for rank 9. We should see him getting 200m Strength, Range, and Summoning sometime tomorrow. I will go out on a limb and say that fletch/thieve are up next.

What he does isn't necessarily against the rules, but I do quite disagree with improving one's means through another game (yes 07 is a completely different entity). I do disagree heavily on swapping 07 GP for EOC gp. So many people have abused it and that it grinds my gears.

I just wish they went back to having warbands every 1 hour. I find it very hard and quite annoying that they are 7 hours apart, especially when I can't plan my life around it like most. ** also makes it easier to find open FC's, and less people to compete with for supplies.

I still don't think Jake will get there, mainly because he doesn't enjoy it. I know some people continue to 'persevere' through their dislikes in order to reach a goal, but with so much time left I really don't understand why he would put himself through it. IMO if you're not enjoying it, then stop. Suomi had much more pressure on him, and I understand why he decided to finish 5b, but Jake does not have the same pressure... or ATM, a sense of need to get 5.4b, he's already achieved amazing things. Also, I do think Alkan will get to 5.4b, his playing style - albeit a little relaxed is a perfect way to not burnout or get bored easily. ** Has Jdelacroix offered any insight into whether 5.4b exp is a goal for him? Also, I predict My Kingz with max exp regardless if he finds EOC boring. And upon further review of the top pagers, it seems as though Fishing seems to be everyone's limiting factor, it gets left till the end and it's a long/boring skill.

Kr, I have battled with this question before as well, I usually did broads but now at 50m exp fletch and only 20m thieve exp I plan to do traders, so I've stopped doing broads. You can switch to cooking, instead of bonfires. You can also buy bank stand skill supplies so it doesn't happen or as was mentioned - do agility laps. Just grab a games neck and go barbarian course. I think crystal trees would be a good option too given they are fast to find? I'm not quite sure, though.

Stealing Creation just barely increases exp rates for C2. There is quite a considerable increase with doing Barbarian Assault for agility. As has been mentioned in recent posts though, with an agility update looming on the horizon it may not be wise to do BA right at this moment because the mechanics of Agilityspan might a point based system like FPF.

I assume he might have the GP to go for 200m all because he did do frost dragons with a bonecrusher to finish off his combat after slayer. He opted NOT to make GP and gain exp so one would figure he has the capital to make it happen. Forsberg plays more than 10 hours/day, also.

Honestly I can see agilityspan to have stored exp rewards kind of like fpf, which may render BA useless atm. As of top 5 to 5.4b, I really don`t see Jake there as he really doesn`t enjoy RS3 and I don`t know if Suomi will ever get it... his real goal was 5b and he achieved that. My top 5 would be: 1. Drumgun 2. Geel - as long as he doesn`t continue taking breaks, he gains exp almost on the same level as Forsberg has this year, especially slayer. 3. Forsberg888 - barring a burnout, I think he will get there. He already has 70m agility exp, a lot of fast skills left and can put in the hours. 4. Dragonseance - 5.4b is a sure thing IMO, he wants true completion, but he can`t fight with the guys listed ahead for playing time. 5. Alkan - he`s so steady and even with time off can gain a lot of exp. Fishing while OSRS definitely helped his bid for 200m all. Just my 2 cents, honestly I see a lot more players going for it and eventually will get it, but anything in the near future will be dominated by these guys.

Ye there is quiet a bit of collateral exp gained throughout the years and it surely adds up. Divine yews, Sof, dailies, weeklies, monthlies... Also congrats of Forsberg888 on 200m Harry Potter

I don't necessarily want a full list, just say, the first 5-10 skills of what people think is the best order. Would be interesting to see opinions.

I was wondering if there is a optimal way to go about getting 5.2b exp, as in: what is the most efficient order of doing skills. I am assuming not enough GP to do buyables off the start and making GP along the way. What would an ideal list look like?

Gemoes, could you provide us with a top 15 time update? I'd love to see the gap between Jake and Drumgun, especially with Drum having finished Divination. Thanks!

Congrats to Paperbag on 200m Dungeoneering and 200m smithing! Looks like Agility is up next!

Here’s what the top exp gains of the top 15 look like from the last week. First time doing this so I’m not sure exactly what to do, but it’ll give a nice idea of what they are up to, regardless. Using current top 15: 1. Jake 4,571m +6.8m Jake continues with divination with 4.1m gained as well as warbands which chip in 2.1m mine and 450k smith. Recent: 30m divination, 110m mining 2. Jdelacroix 4.374m +8.8m Jdela has similar gains to Jake, including 4.3m div and 900k from chronciles. Warbands pitch in with 2.5m mine. 500k fishing another notable gain. Recent: 140m mining 3. Drumgun 4,371m +14m Drumgun is going strong with divination at 12m exp bringing him to just under 90m. Also pitching in are warbands with 750k herb and 1.6m farm. We can see 100m divination, 100m farm, and 100m herb in the near future to put him with 24 skills over 100m exp. We will see a pass of Jdela soon to retake the number 2 spot. 4. Dragonseance 3,912m +21m Strong week from the dragon with 16m thieving exp. Book of char adds 530k exp, and minebands producing 2.6m exp. Dragonseance has once again stopped short of 200m thieve, now with 5 skills at 198m+ exp. 5. Almostlost 3,635m +10m He’s sticking to mostly divination (3,6m) and the complimentary hunter of 1.2m. Also notable are 1m firemaking, 500k agility, and 2.6m from minebanding. Upcoming: 100m mining (19) 6. Goud 3,686m +21m Goud is going strong keeping pace with Drumgun putting in a strong 12m divination and 7.1m hunt to chip in. Warbands and farm runs contribute 2.3m mine and 900k farm. Upcoming: 75m divination 7. Paperbag 3,636m +14m Big smith gains (11m) put in by Paperbag, also 3m challengscape chipping in for dungeoneering. Upcoming: 200m dg (1m exp), 200m smith (7m exp).

Warbands provide 2m mine and other notable gains include 500k agility and 600k farm. Upcoming: 50m divination 12.
