For the love of the skill.

Getting 99 fm for the cape. Next will probably be def, i dont like getting hit.

[Soma2035]

I've got HP and defense... I got HP because I was already pretty close to it. defense... well I still regret getting it because untrimmed HP was way cooler. But I've liked defense for a long time.

[snake6man]

I'm aiming for the mage one... iv always loved that skill :D in ftp, i fire bolted the hell out of lesser demons (get it?). now i have to do the boring stuff to get it up the least money and time taking way...

I am goig for Defence cape(a bit less than 300k left), as it is my favourite skill :) I simply love training it. When I change to Attack or Defence I get nervous and switch back to Defence.

 

Anyways my training is pretty slow for the last month or so, because I cannot go on computer so much, so do not expect 99 Defence very soon.

 

 

 

I also love Firemaking, which I will certainly get to 99 one day and Magic, which I hope to be 99 in the(distant) future.

you're gettin the fm cape cause its your fav color orange.. Its a cool cape tho :P

[T. Skill]

I don't have a cape yet but my first capes are probably going to be range and woodcutting not for the cape but just because I love the skills(and a little for the cape 8-) )

[Tsar]

I have three 99s at the moment (firemaking, cooking, fletching), with 3 more (craft, attack, fishing) on the way. When I train something, I don't generally worry about how easy/hard the skill is. I write down a goal, and will usually complete it... doesn't matter how long it takes (maybe thats why I've never raced anyone to any levels). :wink:

 

The skills I train more are the ones I love. Didn't get the 99s because of fancy brag-tastic skillcapes, did it because I liked to train them. :

[revanlives]

I went for the 99 because I loved the skill, but after getting the cape I enjoyed more the support of people than the joy of getting the 99 finally.

[Voldmort0]

Love of the skills.

 

99 Attack, Strength and Magic, cause I love combat and magic!

 

 

 

FTW! :D

[12pure34]

Started playing in RSC and still playing. My highest skill being level 77 and my lowest 52. I never went for 99 and not planning to.

 

 

 

Why: I do not ''love'' skills enough that I can do them to oblivion. I love runecrafting, but after a few hours of crafting, running up and down or standing at world 16. I am just tired. I got to do something else. I cannot grind like many others do as I do not play Runescape to do something I do not wish to do, but for fun.

 

 

 

I can understand many do this, also because they like it. or like the result. But for me it isn't worth it and I won't bother. If I do, I would quit Runescape. I always like people going from level 60 to level 99 in a skill. Just 1% makes it. They do not love the skill. You cannot love a skill at level 60 yet. You haven't tasted grinding at that skill at that point.

[Stilev]

dont really care about the capes lol, i got quest, woodcutting, and cooking, (fishing tonight) but i wear the spotter cape kuz it reduces weight.

 

 

 

dont like how every 5th person i see has a 99 cape on, so i try to be different :D

 

 

 

on a side note, out of 3 ppl i see right now (besides me) 2 of them have a 99 cpae

[pati]

I got fletch and cook before skillcapes where released

 

fletching because it was fasted and I liked it, cooking cause I had the money for it from fletching and because it was fast.

 

 

 

prayer 99 is just cool to have

 

I wanted construction 99 very bad because only about 120 people have it 99

[seto123]

i wanna skill cape =(

[Paul00]

I'm getting an Agility cape and it is for the love of the skill, its been my favorite ever since it came out.

[drgnslyer_15]

but I trained/am training them anyway because I know it would/will increase my total level, which makes me a better player.

 

 

 

Thats bad tho, total level doesnt make a player, his/her attidtude do..

what he means is he can do more in the game than he could before thus a better player.. he wasn't refering to his attitude or anything or thats how i took it..

 

i feel the same way personally as my levels increase generally i can do more than i could before..

 

 

 

Thank you, Drgnslyer_15, for clearing that up. You're exactly right. I did not mean a better player, attitude-wise. Attitude doesn't make you a better player, it makes you a better person. Total level makes you a better player because it broadens the horizon of things you can do in the game. For example:

 

 

 

I can burn/light everything in the game.

 

I can make every potion in the game.

 

I can fletch everything in the game.

 

I can cook everything in game.

 

I can craft every craftable rune in the game.

 

I can basically kill any monster in game.

 

I can use every prayer in the game.

 

I can thieve everything in the game.

 

I can kill every slayer monster in the game. (Dark Beasts I can do with pie)

 

I can hunt and capture everything in the game.

 

I can chop/cut any tree in the game.

 

 

 

Tell me how many of those things you can do. Obviously I don't have all 99s, but my total level is so good that I rarely ever need to buy anything from other players (Unless I'm doing something in bulk and would rather not get it myself) so I'm more self-sufficient.

Well i know what you mean cause i'm the same way i level to unlock more content of the game.

[gamblingfool]

I got 99 fm because I actually could stand it. Not because I'm a pyro. A plus was when I was going for it back in June only like 400 people had it 99. Now 2000 do. Breaks should come AFTER getting a 99. #-o

[Myweponsg00d]

I got 99 attack as a side-effect of getting 85 slayer.

 

 

 

I got 99 HP because of doing slayer, barrows, and other things that involve playing the game.

 

 

 

I plan on getting 99 Herb as my next I think, not sure. That will be because I love Herblore.

[Raging_Ranger]

I got 99 range because I've always loved ranging. Ever since classic when I saw snake slava with 99 range I knew I wanted it. 99 Cooking was just because of my soon-to-be 99 fishing. Yes, I love fishing as well.

 

 

 

Haha, it's cool that we share the same goals (Which you've already achieved)

[NeCroLoGiCa]

I got:

 

Attack- i liked the cape

 

Cooking - Too trim my attack cape :P

 

HP- I always wanted it and it came with ranged

 

Ranged - Good for dks and i really wanyed 99 HP :P

[nicrune007]

im 1 more lvl to 99 ranged <-- love ranged

 

then i got 88 cooking as it is easy, probably getting 99 too
