im thinking of making a f2p skiller, no combat stats whatsoever. Can somebody who has such an account tell me the pros/cons of skillers? Are they really a good idea?

First reason you have to ask yourself is why. What is the benifit of having a skiller. Why not train our main instead? I have never understood pure skill accounts. Especially since you can't trade beteween accounts you own. For example, If you get 70 mining on your skiller, you can's transfer the addy or money you get from selling the addy ore. Why not train your main.

The pros:Rare

 

The cons:Waste of time,you miss out on a number of things, you will get attacked and die easily. You have to start from scratch...

thats reall the point, though....starting from scratch. my main has skills trained to modestly high levels(lowest skill is 40), and i guess i want something new and exciting (for myself, anyways). and my main is f2p after being p2p, so theres not much i can do because of limited space in bank, so everything has to be temporary. im still going to play my main, especially so once i become p2p again (2-9 days) but ill still have something fresh. thats it, im going to do it!
