Guide to Target Skill Levels

Guide to Target Skill Levels

 

 

 

Introduction

 

I was thinking ... "What level should I really get skill x to so that it'll be useful and yet not waste time?". So based on the information in the Tip.it skill guides, Archive of Wisdom, Player Made Guides, and other forum posts, I have compiled a list of levels that present a useful outcome to the skiller.

 

 

 

I've tried to list the levels in the context of Work hard to reach the level then just relax and let further levels come whenever they come.

 

 

 

Your Input

 

I know that many of the items below may well be disputable (plus I'm F2P so am partly guessing in some of the P2P areas), so if you think that something should change, you'll need to give me a reasonable excuse as to why. I will not turn down valid arguements.

So what do you think? Please add suggestions, comments, ridicule (I can handle it :cry:).

 

 

 

Edit: Oh, and I'm not sure if the title really describes what it's about. If you have any better ideas, let me know!

[Owned_Nex]

Sry, but 0/10. First off, its not a guide. You can simply look at ur skills, and take 3 seconds. Anoter one of those "get these stats" kinda guids

I believe the term is "I have been pwned" :oops:.

 

 

 

But that's ok ... I forgive you. How about you give me a 1/10 for trying to help?? :?

[ilya]

um what's the point of this "guide"? 0/10 gonna get locked. obvious information

[aznmidget448]

Bah, I disagree with the first two people. This is a pretty cool guide!

 

 

 

For farming, I'd put the level for spirit trees because that's a target level.

 

For ranged put the level 70 for black d hide and the god d hide.

 

Attack, strength, and defense level 70 for wielding barrows (60 in attack for wielding dragon?)

 

 

 

Those were just a few that came to mind.

 

 

 

Good luck with the guide and hopefully no more haters :P

 

(oh, and I rate 8/10. Could use a little more thought, but I like the idea : )

Thanks for the positive feedback. Hadn't thought about including requirements for wearing/weilding bits, so will have a look at that sometime soon.

The point is that the information is all together in one place. If you want to plan out your skilling, then it is easier to set targets when all together. But maybe you're right and it will get locked. If it does, then it does.

[dkjestrup]

a good level for thiefing is 91 for all the rooms in pyramid plunder

[Elessar3019]

This is good. A change should be made to hunter though: it is eternally beneficial to get 80, where you can set up 5 traps at a time. At 63, you catch red chinchompas about 1/2 the time, and the other half they spring your traps. It's not until 70-75 that you see a significant increase in this either.

[Doomster]

Firemaking, I'd put as P2P: levels for various forms of illumination, F2P: no advantage at all in higher firemaking.

 

 

 

F2P fishing and cooking: Lobster is a more usual target level, as you fish lobster, you get ONLY lobster.

 

 

 

Some quest requirement levels would also be needed, to make this a stronger guide, concentrating on "you need level x in order to..." - MUST haves, rather than nice to haves.

[soulegleon]

how long did you work on this?

 

 

 

it may be well presented but even if you had all of the target skill levels it still wouldnt be considered a guide as the information can be found in a matter of minutes

 

 

 

This is long text, so I haven't included any pictures. This is intentional.

 

obviously you havent seen a long guide. my f2p pures one maxed out the text on the first post (10,000 words :XD:. its in my sig but dont bump, im revising it to almost 20,000 words) , add pics

 

 

 

ill give your a 4/10 for writing ability, presentation and the guts to help although the guide needs more information in general to be considered a guide(if i were you i would get a little more info in here before pokemama sees it)

[juicce]

This is a list, not guide.

Guide to Target Skill Levels

 

 

 

[The Guide

 

Agility

 

Courses: 48 (Ape Atoll)

 

 

 

Lunar: are any of the spells practically useful?

 

 

 

Prayer

 

43 (Protect from Melee)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Agility Courses, 48 is not useful for Ape Atoll. You need 75 before you stop failing there, and at any level below that, you will fail often, and lower your experience a lot. I would say 50 is a decent level to stop at, 56 for regicide onwards.

 

 

 

I would say that lunar is useful for farmers (Level 83 - Adds Supercompost to the patch) and all other skillers, but mostly pkers. For Pkers, Everything up to level 95 (heal group) is great, as it will help your team out a lot. Vengence is also great for you at 94, if you dont team.

 

 

 

For Prayer, 34 prayer is a good stop for pures. This will give you the highest attack and strength prayers, along with the mid level range and mage prayers.

 

 

 

Besides those little thoughts, this is a pretty good list (cant really call it a guide, but its quite a time saver). With a little more work, and some deeper investigation, i believe this guide will be acepted better.

[Freesia]

How dare you question the usefulness of lunar magic? :evil: Bake pie spell is extremely useful for creating wild pies used by lv 81-84 slayers and superglass make is useful for crafting.

 

For farming, obviously torstol is good since the potion you make from it gives very neat exp.

 

For thieving, I don't think thieving from gnomes and higher is even good at all. You simply get caught too much to be able to enjoy the benefits.

[HellsBells]

99 in all skills comes in handier...

[mujtaba]

k so what is this the max lvls of skills that are required for you to do something????

[Harrington]

Not really much of a guide, since eveyone already knows most of this

 

 

 

sorry, 1/10

[LeonardMart]

not really a guide, this information (and much more) is in the guide of the runescape maximums (aside from the obvious skill guides etc!)

[zeinias]

um what's the point of this "guide"? 0/10 gonna get locked. obvious information

yeah i agree its not much of a guide all of this is very obvious but 5/10 for your effort

[truffoo]

99 in all skills comes in handier...

 

This is essentially where the idea for the guide comes from. What level of skills do I need to reach to be more effective in the game? You don't get much real benefit on some skills going from high-80s to 99.

 

 

 

Anyway, since most of the comments aren't supporting this, I'll let it die its own death.

[aoe325]

Edit : If you (or someone else) did gather a good team of advised players you could possibly come out with a great and useful guide. Going in depth about the way you want to choose. And what skills you might want to do that.

 

 

 

Like goal levels for a pure, a quester.. Or anybody wanting to make the best of their time

 

 

 

Sorry but like you said you are guessing pretty much everywhere....

 

You would usually get a good rating for the effort :D

 

But you obviously did no research... at all. :-s :(

 

 

 

Here is a revised version. Take what you want

 

Sometimes I just added comments in Italic.

 

 

 

And I do realise I'm missing alot of important stuff too.
