Slowest Skill to get to 99?

Featured Replies

I'd say definitely runecrafting.

 

Runecrafting just takes forever to train. :|

RSC... carpentry hands down! You COULDN'T LEVEL I! XD

misterxsiggyzs8.jpg

im pretty sure its slayer cause of the randomness of the task but its more enjoyable so peoplee dont really care that it levels slow. mining is pretty fast......rc can be fast..... agility just is fast....farming you dont have to be online the whole time so its not the slowest to level to 99.

I would say runecrafting or slayer.

 

Runecrafting solo may just tip it though.

Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!

P2P: Slayer, according to the top 21 players.

 

F2P: RuneCrafting, since the most xp we can get per trip is 210, with body runes, which no one's gonna buy.

I have quit RuneScape. I have posted on the Leaving sticky saying so. Goodbye.

You can buy smithing..

 

 

 

You can buy all of the skills.

 

 

 

Herblore - buying herbs

 

Runecrafting - pay people to run for you

 

Slayer - cannonballs, i went from 62-85 slayer in about 9 days

 

 

 

 

 

Smithing is one of the original skills, yet it still hasnt acheived more than 700 masters whereas there are 353 99 slayers? When I got 99 smithing in April 2004 I was the 118thish person. That means in the 3-4 years smithing had been out, 118ish people got 99 smithing. Slayer hasnt even been out for 3 years yet and has triple was smithing got in more time.

Mining - while not being buyable, i was still averaging 400k xp a day when I was working towards 85. Drop mining iron in yanille is fast xp if you pay attention.

You know, I would say farming because IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET 1 F-ING LEVEL! :shock: :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q

1. You might be a Redneck if you think fast food is hitting a deer at 60mph

 

2. You might be a runescape alchoholic if your the guy in a tree in draynor

You can't argue about the same statistic.

 

 

 

Exactly. this is going no where. exp/hour is exp/hour.

I am not a skiller, but i do some skills.

Well, let's break it down a bit...

 

 

 

Fast skills:

 

Combat (Atk, def, str)- Extremely fast thanks to pc. You can also put mage/range here too.

 

Prayer- Moderately fast because of Ectofunctus, which gives 4x prayer xp, which is more than gilded altars!

 

Fishing/Cooking- enough said.

 

Thieving- Fairly fast because of pyramid plunder.

 

Mining- Powermining iron is very fast xp. Alternatively, save your ores for smithing purposes.

 

WC/Firemaking- again, enough said.

 

 

 

Slow skills that can be bought, thereby making them faster:

 

Herblore (buy herbs/secondaries, then just make vials)

 

RC (hire runners, buy the ess)

 

Farming (buy seeds, pay farmers to look after your stuff)

 

Smithing (buy bars)

 

 

 

I'm eliminating Hunter, since I haven't heard enough about xp gains to make a judgment. Also leaving out Construction, because that's a rich player's skill.

 

 

 

This leaves three of the slowest skills known to man: Slayer, Agility, and HP.

~So pick a BC date, cause you're history.~

 

heh, welcome to the world of noobscape, its made up of purescape, autoscape, and sadscape, it makes up 60% of all of runescape :

Feel free to add onipaladin ingame. Dknghtshadow's temporarily retired.

You can't argue about the same statistic.

 

 

 

Lol yea...

Retired

2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes

 

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

For me, mining is the slowest skill. You can not buy it, all you can do is just keep swining your pick. And since the mining animation update, it seems to be taking even longer.

 

 

 

For f2p, I think the combat skills are the hardest, as there is no PC to help level, and no guilded alters or ecto thingy to help with pray. I hate being f2p some times, with 15 xp for the best bone. <.< :wall:

people with 99 slayer: 351

 

people with 99 rc: 276

 

 

 

Rank 1 Rc'er: 157m xp. (I believe hes been retired for some time now).

 

Rank 1 Slayer: 33.7M xp.

 

 

 

Crafting laws at ffl or double nats with runners is much faster constant xp than slayer.

 

 

 

Slayer is faster until double nats. Once you get to double nats, rc is much faster. But 91 rc takes almost as long as 95 slayer

 

why would double nats be any different than single nats? you get the same exp just more natures...

 

unless of course you mean its faster because with double nats you can use runners and lose a lot less

Before 91 runecrafting, it is extremely difficult to get a constant supply of runners to get max the max runecrafting experience an hour. World 66 laws gives only around 2/3 of the highest runecrafting experience possible.

 

 

 

With 91 runecrafting and higher, people are more willing to run for you considering they will be making more money an hour. That experience maxes around 45k to 50k an hour, depending on reflexes to see the amount of ess and putting up exactly double what is given to you.

 

 

 

Runecrafting experience is also very consistent. It doesn't vary much from hour to hour, highly unlike slayer.

 

 

 

Slayer is the slowest. It's a fact.

Herblore or farming.

Farming wasn't too bad.

 

 

 

I'd say Slayer, Runecrafting, Mining

Farming is very easy to get lots of experience a day :P

 

 

 

You plant the best trees, and check them as soon as possible, and all the other time you loop through the allotments and specials. With that, you can pretty much constantly farm and if you use good stuff, it's fairly fast exp. Trees though, make it really easy.

 

 

 

Slayer however, is completely based on luck of assignments. While it's "probably" possible to get decently fast exp by getting tons of cannonable assignments like dagannoths, we know that slayer assignments will never give you the same one twice in a row.

 

 

 

Slayer also, can only be bought in a side effect way of using the cannon, where as most skills when "bought" increase in speed dramatically,slayer doesn't go up as fast in experience/time

With unlimited money, slayer is without a doubt the slowest skill.

Capone Sabre since April 2001.

99 Attack, Defence, Strength and Hitpoints Achieved January 2005. When it still meant something.

You could say the HP for f2pers as they dont have many good spots to train.

prayer and rc for f2pers and rc, slayer, and farming for p2pers.

Slayer

DIY (do it yourself) herblore hands down.

 

Collecting herbs is really tough. (200 an hr if your really good at the summer garden)

 

Seconds not so bad except for a few.

 

I'd say 5 to 10k an hr tops for me.

 

I can do 10 to 15k slayer easy no cannon.

 

Rc is about 18k an hour making fires or 14k deaths.

 

Prayer is about 20-25k PC on decent worlds.

 

Smithing is 35-40k an hr buying mith ores at the blast furnance and going to town there.

 

Mining, fishing, and agility are 40k+

 

Rest are higher and not worth talking about.
