I think the most important "skill" I learned from Runescape is investing. I'm not talking about investing in the GE or in items, but rather investment in the future of my character. I learned that I had to spend money to make money. For example, I want 99 range. I could train for 180 hours for almost no money, or spend 50 hours but spend 50 million. I learned to weigh the benefits, in 130 hours I could probably make more than 50 million if I had 99 range at Saradomin God War. Basically cost and benefits. Some other things I have learned: Various weapon words: Halberd, flail, Hasta, Methods of fishing: which fishing technique is used with what species of fish Construction materials: Limestone, marble (I knew, but didn't really think about) Different techniques of hunting: Box, trap, track Farming Gem names and coloring: Sapphire being blue, topaz are yellow, etc. Difference in ranged bows, compound vs. long vs. cross Tanning being required for leather How to make bow string What glass is and how to make it Cooking Knowledge of metals, what makes them, which are stronger Run energy regenerates a lot slower in real life, mining is a lot more dangerous than what the games depicts it, and that you can't pray from melee in real life and not get hit by a wandering frisbee. have fun :)
