200M Experience In A Skill - The New 99?

[xpx]

that may be true for the easy skills(the ones that have meen listed on your post), but the problem is, some skills are just so slow that they would take many and many years to get to 200m, and rs might not even exist then- skills like farming, agility and slayer, just because the experiance is so limited.

[Coffee234]

Who do you guys think will be the first person with all maxed out skills?? Im thinkin Zezima but... there are others

 

 

 

I don't think that will ever happen.

Yeah, it can be done, but yeah Jagex will release new skills in the meanwhile and then you have the hard ones to be done.

[Aneron]

:o I wonder if Momeydragon did it on chins... that's like... 450M :shock:

 

 

 

I agree that a 99 is a lot less of an achievement in the eyes of many people now. However, I believe a 99 in RSC is still easier than a 200M in RS2 :P. Also, I think someone with 200M xp in a skill in RS2 gets more recognition than someone with a 99 in RSC (even if people still cared about RSC :XD:). Maxing out all your skills (to 13.039M xp) still doesn't quite take you to the point (xp-wise) of truly 'maxing' 2 skills.

 

 

 

So, I feel that 200M is more of an achievement, even than back in the heyday of RSC, both in terms of difficulty and recognition. Even wakka is scared of 200Ms :ohnoes:

[Kill_Life]

Matt was the first with 2 200mill skills.

 

He even posted it here on Tip.It.

 

 

 

But it's true that a 99-skills isn't quite an achievement anymore.

 

99's are very common, but it became a lot easier to get a 99-skill aswell.

 

 

 

People went from 92 to 99 in a Combat skill using Pest Control in 1 week!

 

While else it can take weeks or months.

 

Prayer isn't to challanging either with the Altar.

 

Mining is still hard, but went quite a lot faster with the Granite Powermining.

 

Most other skills are buyable, and as time goes by, people get richer.

 

But true, it's still a challange to gain the money for that 99-skill.

 

Thieving is fast now aswell with the Pyramide Plunderer Minigame.

 

 

 

Farming, Woodcutting (?), Hunter, Fishing, Runecrafting (?)

 

Maybe those are the only 'hard' 99'ers.

 

 

 

But as time goes by, I'm sure there will come new updates which make those skills easy aswell.

 

 

 

The 99-skills of Free Players are still old-school and respectable.

 

But those 99-skills go lost in the amount of other 99-skills.

 

 

 

So, 200mill exp might be the next stap.

 

But for how long?

[GrimHams]

I have no idea how obsessed you have to be with a skill to get 99 in it over 15 times. You deserve a plaque in your house for spending so much time on one skill. I think 200 mill xp is past a great achievement and is bordering on being scared of someone who managed it.

[Voldmort0]

I agree. As time changes, like you said, competivity grows stronger and to further heights. Since rs is becoming constantly easier to lvl and gain experience, it won't take long until the real players are recognised as the real master at a certain skill for having the max xp possible and not a lvl 99 in it.

[Dark_Shark]

Like it's been said, the vast majority of people on rs have no intention of getting 200 mil xp in a skill. It is a great achievment but I doubt the reward will be anything more than personal accomplishment and rank.

 

 

 

To me, nothing will replace 99 in a skill. Even 99 cooking, widely credited as the easiest skill takes time and patience. From experience, with casual playing it takes about a month playing 3 hours a day. You can't get a 99 in 1-2 weeks without some serious no-lifing, and that wouldn't be healthy.

[aquariusman]

The one skill that I thnk will never get a 200m is constuction. It is the one skill that you cannot turn a profit, really. In every other skill you either use constantly (Hitpoints, Attack, Strength, Defense, Prayer, Ranged, Magis) or you make a profit off of. even though Runecrafting may be slow experience, but as long as someone makes good money off of it, it will slowly reach that 200m mark.constuction, on the other hand, offers no profits from focusing on raising it past level 99. The only way you will get a 200m in the is if someone constantly changes the layout of their house, has ALOT of money to burn and pretty much never quits. THe only way we will see a 200m in Construction is if someone really wants it and has billions of gp to spend.

 

 

 

BTW, what if the best gp to xp ratio for construction?

i disagree.if someone but a bill and a half into construction then it wouldnt take aslong as you think,construction to level is incredibly quick with larders yet runecraft and slayer arent quick.someone could spend all that money on it just to show that he can.doubt that anyone will but you never know

[Goobore]

...A maxed out 200m xp skill, you cannot go higher or lower in your position.

 

What I would like to know is what determines your position in the hi score list

 

if you and another player both "have" 200 million exp.

 

 

 

IIRC, I have seen the players with 200 million in cooking exp move up and

 

down the list over time. That suggests that the displayed exp is capped

 

at 200 million but players can continue to earn exp past that amount.

 

If 2^31-1 is the largest number RS can handle then the true cap is about 2.14 billion exp.

 

 

 

Also, the list for 200 millioners includes:

 

4 players with double 200

 

19 players with a single 200 million

 

9 skills with at least one player at 200 million

You are correct. Displayed xp is capped at 200mil, yet the hi-scores still takes into account post-200mil xp, resulting in rank changes.if they ever did show how much xp each of the 200milers really had, i think it'd be kinda cool.

 

 

 

Also, I think the cap is there so players don't train one fast skill eternally to stay at rank 1.

 

 

 

Also, 200mil isn't the new 99...yet... in 2-3years I expect it to be, but it is just like the front page now, just too rare and too difficult.

 

 

 

I do admit skills are easy to raise, some more than others. I am just surprised at how over-rated thieving is. Since string x it is the third (maybe the second) easiest skill in the game, because fletching is now so slow, and some people may consider firemaking harder than thief. Either way, I have went 45-92 in a month with ease, I am just surprised I am in the top 2,500 and not between 10k-20k in rank.

 

 

 

Also, 200mil xp will be more common before 2009.There will be 10-15 in thief, fletch and cook, 5 or so in attack and fm, 2 or 3 in defence and wc, maybe even one in mining and fishing and strength.

 

 

 

There's my 99/200mil xp analysis, it went off-topic some but thats what I think about the whole thing, kudos to the topic starter.

You are right, however Runecrafting makes you money. That means that unless Jagex decides to ruin Runecrafting even further, someone will keep on Runecrafting, earning experience. Eventually they will get 200m xp. Slayer is the skill I forgot about. Slayer will only get a 200m if, like with construction, someone decides they want to get that one 200m. And yes, I know construction is fast xp, however who would really want to waste a couple billion just to get a 200m, other than somone looking to max out their stats. Once someone does reach that mark, it is a sign to Jagex to increase the skill cap. Back to Slayer, it is the skill that you only need to get a certain level to kill a monster (Once you get level 90, you can kill Dark Beasts and you don't ever need to touch slayer again). You don't need to be on an assignment to kill a monster, you just need to get the level. Then your leveling is slow and you are not able to focus on a single monster, you kill a random monster. Essentially, I still hold the opinion that, unless some bored, rediculously rich player gets the idea to get the construction 200m, construction will be the second last 200m, slayer possibly never seeing the 200m.

 

 

 

I'm still holding out on that xp ratio

[SwreeTak]

I agree with you. I think 200M is going to be the new "99", but the original 99 is still going to be a big thing, because it's still comming new players all the time.

[piman1053]

Actually 26 people, as one person has both cooking and Fletching at 200M xp.

 

Matt258, buddy of mine from RuneVillage ;D

you're forgettin n0valyfe he has 200m in fletching and cooking as well. zezima has 200m cooking and thieving.. can't remember who was 1st to get 200m in two skills matt or n0va they were very close..

 

 

 

It was matt; found on N0va's (now historical) site: Here Great website, took a while to go through it. Great read though.

 

 

 

On-topic: I think that 99 in almost any skill isn't much of an achievement anymore. Don't quote me, but I think in RSC you had to drop logs to fm them. Empror1 got 2m xp in a day, which even now is rare. Before fishing, cooking was a skill that actually meant something, but now its just a few hours of work for somebody who wants to join the large club of 99 cookers. I could continue with most other skills, but I either don't know how they are easier now or I they are harder :)

[kelbri]

First off, nice topic. Original and well thought out.

 

 

 

I agree with you somewhat. As more people reach level 99, in ANY skill, more and more people, like myself, who like being on the leaderboard, can't be there. It makes it harder to get to the front page of any skill. My dream (don't know if anybody else has accomplished it) is to be the FIRST f2p, to get 99 in all f2p skills. Sure, look at my sig, see I'm WAAAAAAY off that goal, but it keeps me sane, especially when I play about 5 hours per week total.

 

 

 

The reason I think that 200M xp will be the next '99', is because once you hit level X in any skill, things get waaaay easier, and faster for xp. For me, level 70 mining was great (my favorite skill I would say), but it took a long time. Once I can 1 hit coal (if that's possible), mining xp would be easier. Once I can mine addy, xp may come in quicker. And rune, well, faster still (perhaps, maybe not because of distance). I see Zezima on the high score list, and like every day, his xp goes up by a couple million (or so, not sure). My xp, if I played the exact amount of time, doing the exact thing he is doing (only to my skill level), I wouldn't get a 1/4 of that xp.

 

 

 

So will it be the next '99'. All my thoughts think yes, but by that time, I may be retired...

[Greedom1]

oh my god, 99 is 99. 200m exp means you need to simply get a life. (Or a new game...)

[Guest]

All 99's is the elite of elite, I don't care about going past the 13 million whatever it takes for a 99. Honestly it's pointless going past that in my opinion unless you're getting exp by using the skill ie fighting, cooking making money from a skill. If someone wants 200 mil more power to them but it garners no more respect from me than getting the 99 to begin with.

[monkfish101]

Just a thought - if say 5 people got 200mil in every skill (not likely but bear with me ;)) would the system list them in the order they achieved it or alphabetically?

 

 

 

I would assume it to be alphabetically which seems kinda unfair

[Striker6]

Like you said only 23 players have ever achieved a 200 mil in a stat, Jagex aren't going to update the game for 23 players, they aren't even going to update the game for a thousand players. So no, I don't think anything will come of the 200 mil exp achievement too much is being added into the game like 99% of people do not have the time to spend on one paticular skill I cannot imagine why anybody would put that much time into a game personally.

[highveener]

A-grade = A-grade

 

passing for a test = passing for a test

 

99 = 99

 

 

 

In my humble opinion, getting all skills to 99 is a really really really big achievement already; no need to go beyond that, as there are no extra's to be had.

 

 

 

Highveener

[Iv_Green_vI]

yes 8-)

[malo2]

I think most people probably don't have the patience or endurance to get 200m exp in one skill, its a massive increase from 99.

 

Strictly quoted for truth. Unless this skill's giving me oodles of enjoyable playtime and/or profit ingame, why should I bother getting it past 13M experience?

 

If you have every skill at 99 it's a possibilty, not only for experience, but also for ranks, since you're certain to be in the front page once you hit 200m xp. But some people just enjoy doing that one certain skill.

 

That's admirable. But I [personally] don't have much desire to become an instant attention-magnet to players when I'm trying to sell things in Varrock/Falador/Seers, if you see what I'm getting at.

so why do you bother getting anything to 99?

This coming from someone who is almost maxed out in their stats already. Don't get me wrong, congrats on this, it's awesome, but if not to reach the 200M xp mark, why keep playing? You've done all you can do in the game, done every quest (I'm assuming), visited every island, killed every type of creature... If it's for sheer love of the game, good on ya, but what else is there for a goal then if you've done it all???

If you look at the ones Trix has left, they're among some of the hardest to level in the game. (Won't be a problem of course for someone who clearly can master 2/3 of the other skills.) Slayer, farming, rc and herb are no joke. Trix still has a bit of a ways 'til maxed stats. :) Though when that day does come, there's always the goal of accumulating a phat set or other rares.
