Gratz Lee on all previous levels I've missed and good luck with the ones still to come. :thumbsup:

Cool setup. The shield actually looks pretty from this angle :P 7/10.

I buy most of my raw materials, unless I'm training a skill which can't be bought. It saves me time, which I can use for other things irl.

Lets say you get into a situation like this: You're standing in front of world 2, falador east bank. You have a goal of obtaining a high crafting level. You have a 15M budget to spend on green dragonhides, with which you can buy 10k of them for the price of 1500gp each. You've been standing here for well over 30 minutes, with no luck. You see a dozen players around you eagerly trying to sell you small amounts of dragonhides for 1600gp each, which you refuse. Then, out of the blue, you see a level 3, with a random jibberish name. He's advertising: "selling green hides 1500ea". Now, halt for a second. =; What do you do? Choice 1: You try to trade the level 3 in hopes of others not seeing the message and see how many hides he has. Yay, he puts up 10k green hides. You thank your good reflexes and offer 15m to him, which he accepts. Trade done and you can move on with your crafting goal. Choice 2: You stay put, knowing your exceptionally good karma will force you to not trade him/her. You then see the "Other player is busy at the moment" message and spend the next 2 hours on the market, still trying to buy those damn hides. As for me, I've picked Choice 1 almost always. Better be time-and-cost-efficient than spend a ton more and get less bang for your buck. "Morally", it's wrong to buy from cheaters though, but I honestly think no one would turn down a great deal that saves him/her money and time. :wink: From 85-94 crafting, bought green and blue hides from autoers. Saved a total of 8 million from the reduced price that autoers sold. I know I'm happy with what I did, even if it was "morally wrong". :ohnoes:

Well, considering that any gem, uncut or cut, is worth more than a lump of coal, what their doing is stupid really. I generally pick up all gems I see. Thanks to that I have a nifty cut gem collection, almost 1k sapphires soon.

I wouldn't even consider choosing the rocky path to a 99 skill (example: arrowshafts from 1-99 fletching), instead I try to choose the care-free method, the straight flat road (example: bowmaking from 1-99 fletching). Because at the end when you've reached a 99 and a cape, who the hell will want to hear your "long and arduous" training story!? :? Most people, me included, choose to train the easy skills first and leave the more time-consuming skills to the bottom of the list. It's only natural that we pick a popular skill such as cooking, fletching (recently, firemaking joined the 2) to be their first. I see every player with a 99 cape worthy of their achievement. They've still worked for it (more or less), just like you (assuming you have a cape in the first place; if not, you shouldn't be badmouthing them at all). PS! The word 'you' isn't pointing at anyone directly. :wink:

Put me in for Purple. I feel like I'm a jack-of-all-trades ingame, not really excelling in any parts of it (maybe skills, but thats relative to who is judging).

People who ask too many questions and won't go away.

I like quests which include: - A good starting plot to roll the story from. - Plenty of puzzles and challenges to switch the mostly unused brain on. - A tough/complex end boss, to keep the weak and/or stupid from completing it and thus complaining in a random forum thread. - A reasonable reward, 5-digit xp rewards are always nice, with or without some special item or ability. A few quests ring the bell, having all of the above points. Most don't. :(

Dug up this outfit from my screenshot folder. For an even darker look, replace the phat with a black cav.

A rs player can never complete this game, not before Jagex ceases to update it. You'd have to be a cyborg, online 24/7, never resting, to accomplish that in a reasonable amount of time (say, a few years). No updates = no runescape. So this is most likely an impossible quest. :roll: However, what Harrington listed is pretty near to what completion would mean.

That's what the word HYT was invented for. To greet a fellow tip.iter who you may / may not have seen before. I've been hyted by total strangers before, some of who have become close friends as time moved on. No idea how many have said that to me, I lost track a long time ago. :

Progressive expansion of the game and easier ways to train lead to more and more people completing the game skill-level-wise. Little to nothing we can do about it.

Ah, you finally got that fabled orange cape you wanted. Never mind the accidental level-up. First 99 always makes a person lose track of some very basic stuff like how much xp is remaining. We can forgive you that. Congratulations and remind me when I start playing again to buy you a double keg of beer. :wink: As a next 99, try woodcutting. Firemaking started the so called vendetta against logs, it would make sense to transfer this from a matchbox to a sharp axe and go after those trees personally. Pile enough logs up and cut them for a third 99, fletching. I doubt you can actually stand how boring woodcutting is, but meh, it was worth a suggestion. :)

Jeez, people think of the most rubbish of things. I'm not surprised if any of these ridiculous ideas are brought into the game in the future. I sure hope not. Why can't Jagex introduce an entirely new type of monster? It's getting boring with them only updating existing monster types, like dragons and undead. :| But to add more fuel into this fire, I say... swarovski crystal dragon. shiny and invulnerable

100M gp can get ALOT more than 1m xp in most skills, so I choose the money, obviously.

Construction was made so there would be a way for people with too much money to pump that money out of circulation. The first player to get 99 construction was rumoured to spend almost half a billion gp to power his way through these levels. It's possible to max that skill without spending anything, but that would take a ridiculously long time of limestone mining. If done with oak planks, the costs should be close to 100m... which is actually cheaper than farming and herblore (at their fastest methods of training). And to answer the topic question... Construction becomes useful at level 75 (or 69 with tea and c saw), when you can build a gilded altar and rent that out for people in need of fast prayer levels. You can also make other useful things by that level already, like the glory amulet on wall, teletab lecterns, portal rooms... and fun stuff too, like dungeons and games rooms.

I had a guthix mjolnir awhile ago. Some dude thought it was a crystal spear. It kind of looks like that too, to the unknowledged eye. But I found a guthix crozier nicer looking and so I sold the mjolnir for 25k. Nice to get a profit for something you found in a general store. :

Well, I wouldn't mine in the first place, but if I did and another person comes down there and starts pushing me out, I'd defend the rocks that I had mined of course. Despite the rocks not having my name tag on them written in capital letters, it would still be polite to obey the rule of "who is first, gets the prize". Over a hundred worlds to choose from, why would he argue over a rock, in this world. Why not do it elsewhere, in a maybe less crowded world. Only when I have realised that he simply wont leave after 5-10 minutes, I'll give in and switch worlds myself.

If by some unusual way the huge amount of delinquits in every recent game there, who burn every single piece of equipment would disappear, Trouble Brewing would be a nice and fun minigame. However, it takes more effort to repair the damage done than to actually gather ingredients and watch the cute little bottle come out of the rum dispenser. I'm glad I got the black naval set while things were still quite normal. Getting a flag to make this outfit better will probably prove to be as nerveracking as trying to levitate a glass of water. Ignore the above exaggerating column. The answer is: Yes, it's harder than pest control.

I usually averaged at 110-114, but a couple of games had been with the end score rising over 130.

We had an official IQ test about 1.5 years ago in my previous school. Not some online jibberjabber. If I remember correctly, I got a 125 score.

Outside. Oh... you mean in game. That'd be... wherever I was when I last logged out.

Default: White long hair, white splitted beard, darker skin. Beigeish pants and shirt, greyish boots. With equipped items (last time I logged in): Pirate hat with eyepatch, gnome scarf, legends cape, black naval shirt and slacks, pirate hook and desert boots.

runecrafting -> nature runes dagannoth -> cannon noob -> bronze med cant think of more atm.
