Just being honest, once you've been there being there sucks!

its a great achivement, but your title makes me believe you think this game is more then just a game. 2/10 for having too much dedication.

99 slayer and your totals noob as. grats

Pretty much yes

Meh im just going to say it. Theres alot of debate as to whether these skillcapes are noob or not, and whether other skill capes should be put on the list or not. Im taking the view from an experienced player who has played long enough to have a valid opinion in terms of debating whether something is a leet achievement or not. (considering this is a debate about whether something should be praised by others or not cared about) Skill capes mean JACK all to any player who has bothered to grind out a long skill. In my eyes achievements can be seen in players overall level, with their ability to spread their skills rather then just focus on one. Achievements have changed over time. Before having a 99 skill was seen as quite a feat. Now.. it is not at all. It is totally a rookie thing. Infact seeing a player with a higher total level over some noob with 3 skill capes and a lower total level shows that the player is more experienced in the game. No.. getting 99 firemaking doesnt make you a note worthy player. Infact I myself am not a noteworthy player. The players that have a high total level (im talking 2300 +, 2000 isnt even high anymore) are the real pros. The players that are maxed out with the desire to play on are champions. Your punsy firemaking cape does nothing to impress anyone who counts, so it should be. Infact I prefer seeing an obby cape over some noobie skill cape because at least the person doesnt waste their time getting a 99 that doesnt mean anything to anyone. However, if your a player that plays for yourself then this shouldnt be an issue. Im guessing because you posted this thread you genuinely care about what other people think of you. So if you want to be leet in this game, then you better start earning some major GP and experience in a variety of skills. That of course takes time, but in the mean time you should stop caring about the noob comments, because although they are TOTALLY VALID, you know that one day you will be able to call players like yourself noobs. was that too harsh? honesty sucks.

crap 1/10 keep going

Nice job but man membs is so much better. 10/10

The OC isnt that bad of a TV show in all honesty. Infact I wish it would come back, I sorta miss the nerdy geek of Seth Cohen, gave me all my pick up lines at school :P But yeah.. its not that bad of show!

Albel = Thanks, ive been playing long enough to at least gather some fun levels! Double nats sure are fun ;) tuggernongy = I dont know yet. Im just having a break because im in year 12 at school. Ive been playing castlewars, farming and a few slayer tasks. Today I used my herbs to get this level which has always been a dream. 99 herblore was impossible in my younger days, this is a step closer!

You log in, walk around for 30 minutes and log out ;)

:o How can you say that? Farming is ftw... And 99 was worth every bit of work for me.. Best skill ever \ Grats as well :thumbsup: Oh perhaps I could have said that better, doesnt mean I dont heart farming, its just that 99 is just another level ;)

AceSpitball = Haha thanks. It was pretty fun to see those herbs in trade values sometimes ;) Nopnoob = Thankyou :) kranked1 = A level is a level but it feels good to have done this slow and steady and not break the bank :D D Jay99 = I tended not to think about the experience per day but the herbs per day :P I was hitting almost 300 on some days, and thats nice! Cup_Lion = Thanks, you too! Lenticular_J = I love you for whatever Rolling Stones/Moss means! toast647 = Thanks for the thumbs up toast!

Hey I never post here because im lazy but I always read so I feel somewhat involved in the community. I know its not much nowadays because everyone can buy this level but its taken me a while. I started really regularly farming back in July 07' and have been farming herbs since then. In December I started farming maples and papayas, and had a month or two of watermelons. During this time to make the money for the seeds I trained runecrafting. The day I got 91 runecrafting was the day I bought everything I needed for 99 and more. Ill never stop farming, herbs are too good to not farm. Ive never bought a herb to level up, apart from a 100 or so rannars for some prayer pots when I needed them. Heres some produce I farmed, not alot considering I didnt collect maple roots but im guessing ive planted around 1000 maple seeds. I sold all my cactus spines recently (around 900) when they jumped in price. The curry leaves were also farmed, but that was from a while ago when I used to train with curries instead of papayas. Of course the amount of toadflax herbs is nowhere near the amount I have farmed because ive used them on herblore but you could work out how many ive farmed by taking my herblore experience, minusing the experience needed to level 81, dividing that by 180 and adding on around 5k toadflax herbs that I sold to buy pure essence. I hope I dont sound too braggy but I just love farming and the organisation and stretched time it takes. Worth getting 99? Nah not really, its not any different from getting level 83 but I guess it adds to my total level a bit. Thanks for reading :)

Jaskkes : P2P :)

Be interesting to read. Be awesome if they brought out more that completed quest series before we get to do them in game. I hate getting an awesome quest and then left to finish the storyline whenever they bring out the next quest. Which in all cases, hasnt happened yet :P

I think we are the winners because we have 2 great games to choose from!

I've been partial to the whole spending money for 99s sort of agreement because when before I couldn't earn the money for it, and I saw people at my level getting the levels I wanted quicker I of course got jealous. Now that im experienced and wiser I believe that its a smart thing to train the fastest (those sentences made no sense) BUT, the things that I think cause the most jealously (not that I do, it is a game of time not skill anyways) is those people that turn up to iron dragons, kill one and get a visage. Or the ones that go to gwd and on their second trip get 2 arma hilt drops. Yet when players like me (unlucky ones) go to gwd or iron dragons and kill thousands and end up with nothing, then that is just annoying. Sure.. I should have spent that time RCing for money instead of killing bosses if I wanted a quick 30 mil.. but then shouldnt those people that get lucky also have to sweat it out and take time to earn their money? Its the whole debate about staking as well that comes into this, whether stakers deserved to earn 1 billion GP a day as opposed to players that have played longer but were only earning 1 million a day. Im not too fussed about it anymore though, because I know my future will involve buying chinchompas and gold ores.

whats wrong with hounds? decent meele experience despite the lack of rewards.

WOW Good luck with 95!

They probably just buy 5 godswords and transfer the wealth through items.

I dont, because objects that are within the 3k gp range to trade would be very difficult to get within that amount. Say if you want to buy 100k worth of p ess, and you trade for say 2 rune plates and rune plates are worth 42k ea. Then you wont be within the limit without adding an item of lesser value in the trade too.

Mining.. but I dont really mind. Rune ore is still the most expensive raw material to get. Dragon pick would be nice, but rune is fast enough for me

The risk of losing your items is what makes GWD so hard and why the items from it are so expensive. The risk is losing your stuff, if you dont wanna lose your stuff, then dont do it. Nuff said.

Does it really matter? Just makes an even playing field for miners or whoever else world hops alot. Oh and its only 35 seconds.

Yeah, they took the easy way out. But they warned players not to buy gold, players kept doing it. Although its not fair to the majority of players, its just like being punished at school. They've given the players that hate this update enough time to quit and rant before its all over for them. In all honesty, this just changes the dynamic of the auidence of the game. Although it sorta takes away the variety such as the economy. It takes away the competitive nature of the game which has become too much. The reason why there are so many people flaming is because people are addicited to the games wealth and power. With this out of the way, the players that play for greed and wealth and glory are gone (or saying they are gone, nonetheless) and the players that play for fun, and social activities stay. This is a game afterall, you can still kill people or whatever. The only thing that sucks is that you cant give a friend 900k so he can have fun in the game as well. Ahh well, classic days coming back?
