Worst skill?

[jonni]

Mining, although with good ties to smithing, is probably one of the simplest, least developed skills in the game; that goes for firemaking aswell, (although it does have a cool cape)

 

 

 

I think overall, although I enjoy making piles of arrows, I think as of recently fletching has just become too popular-It is a 99 skill I would least like to have- because it has lost it's uniqueness that the other skills have when someone takes them to 99.

ranging i just can't stand it...

:evil: ........although i partially agree; it , like magic, can be expensive and repetitive to train, although when you reach level 70 it gets fun.

farming because all you do is sit there and watch plants grow

 

Then plant them and leave, you don't have to watch them grow. This is an AFK skill and yet many complain they hate watching their plants grow!

That's why I alch next to my crops...

I assume mining and agility will come out as few of the most nominated "worst skills"

 

 

 

I hate fletching seriously, especially the way of training. Pointlessly sitting in a bank cutting logs for some pathetic profit or none.

[Anthony8150]

I really hate woodcutting but it revolves around many skills so you can't escape it. :boohoo:

[piman1053]

For me its strength. This week, the only skill I could stand was farming. Sure, strength is great for hitting high, but hitting high is worth nothing if you don't hit in the first place.

[HellsBells]

Mining, hunting, herblore, fletching, and agility.

lol the 2 worst skills on this thread are your first 2 99's eradicate it. :mrgreen: sounds like u got a big attention span. and i agree with you on fletching.

Smithing is the skill I least like to train. I only use it to make needed items such as knives or gold bars. It takes so much time to mine the required resources and smelt them, only to get a pittance of experience in smithing when you actually get to make items. I have a great deal of admiration for those who have 99 in that skill. Even buying your way to 99 takes a lot of time, and an enormous amount of cash.

 

 

 

Useless skills are:

 

Firemaking ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ whats the point except to get prerequisites for quests?

 

Thieving ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ similar to firemaking, though has some limited uses (Pharoah sceptre etc)

Mining. I personally like arming and Hunter because of the bonuses. IE Silenced gloves and 8 ranarrs per seed.

[mcneelson]

Runecraft+Hunter = Boring

 

 

 

Farming owns.

 

 

 

Oh and Fletching sucks allso.

nope they are not my first 2 99s, Thieving was first, mining was 2nd, agility will be 3rd, thanks for the compliment though. :)

Mining, even though it can be the most rewarding. Because ir your level 70+ even like level 50-69 can beat you at a rock.

[Greedom1]

Agility and firemaking. Useless. There is zero need for these to be skills. Additions to other skills could suffice.

 

 

 

For those bashing farming, the fact that it's AFK shouldn't be considered an inherent negative. Yes, it's unique in that regard, but it makes it a more difficult skill to level. Most evil skill perhaps, but IMO not at all the worst. (Ranks in top 3 for me...)

[muggiwhplar]

Firemaking - just imagine if it never existed and tomorrow Jagex released their new skill: Firemaking!!! How disappointed would everybody be? Firemaking has less depth than any other skill

[Arambul]

And also, i did a search on topics like this and nothing came up. so i decided to make this topic up :

a few months ago I would have said slayer but it's not such a bad skill after all.

 

 

 

farming and herblore, despite being my worst skills, are not my least favorite.

 

 

 

I think I'll go with hunter. It's simply not an interesting skill to train, for me anyways.

 

 

 

For those bashing rc, you don't realize that it's the best monyemaking skill.

 

 

 

For those bashing farming, you don't realize that you can train OTHER THINGS while your plants grow

[no_way2go]

Hunter or construction. Construction costs way to much compared to other skills! The reason it was made was to stop the inflating rare prices....

[Fietslord]

RC definetly :-X

[hohto]

Construction costs way to much compared to other skills!

 

 

 

I've burnt so much cash on farming that I could be at top 21 construction without it. Yea I can make cash with it unlike I could with con, but seriously: if you want to make profit from it, it's the slowest skill ever. Smithing is somewhere near as close to the cost of costruction if you wanna train it in some sane way and it's also slower to train. Without construction we would have a lot less lvl 126 people. Even with current bone prices the prayer is almost as expensive as construction. In other words: construction isn't useless and definately not as bad as people think it to be.

 

 

 

I'd have to say rc or farming.

 

 

 

Without RC we'd still pay 500gp per nature rune. We'd have a lot less high lvl mages, the demand for alchable items (like yew longs) would be smaller and PC would be the only real way to train magic. In my eyes RC is one of the most important skills as it affects to many other skills too: smithing (high alch), wc+fletch (high alc), pkin, etc.

 

 

 

Farming is really important to herblorists. Without farming there would be a lot less herbs for sale and their prices would be way higher. This would also affect to pkin: pots would cost a lot more.

 

 

 

Just because you don't like some skills, it doesn't mean it would be useless. In my eyes firemaking is the worst as it got no real meaning.
