Hardest skill to train?

Featured Replies

Well, for F2P, I have tried to raise all of my stats to "decent" numbers.

 

 

 

Runecrafting and Prayer are very hard

 

 

 

Crafting and Smithing are hard (unless you have a lot of money)

 

 

 

All the other skills just take time...

How many topics are there like this?

 

 

 

Anyhow, if you like Slayer, it's not too bad. I actually enjoyed it. And still do. Hardest skill I'd say is Runecrafting or Farming.

Fishing is really hard for me... I have a low attention span and i get bored real easy while fishing.

No witty signatures for me :(

I would say Runecrafting.

hardness in what way?

 

 

 

To be specific, then slayer and farming have the lowest xp/per hour ratings, one requires continuous work and the other requires quite a bit of money, but slayer is still considered a bit harder. Mining is not that difficult if you try it out, about 80-100k xp h at level 99. Agility- it is slow, and boring, but still 3 times the speed of slayer. Runecraft? utterly boring and only about 23k xp h if you are really going for it, but then again, you make loads of money on the way and its still 10k xp h faster.

First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.

First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.

First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.

Runecrafting by far, is the harderst skill to train in the whole game, without a doubt. At least with Prayer there is an option to use a Guilded Altar which will give you some amazing Xp if you do it right, but with Runecrafting there is no other option than to work you damn.. teeth.. off to get Xp.

 

I literally just got 75 Runecrafting with World66 Law Comapany, after having spent 2.8m buying 40k Pure Essence just to go from 70 to 75. . .

 

 

 

40k Pure Essence!!!?!? Level 70-75?!?!

 

Madness.

 

 

 

By the way, anyone thinking of using the Law Company to get some Runecrafting Xp; World 16 Airs is not only faster, but you can very easily make money from level 55. I only wish I knew that before I bought so much Pure Essence.

i gotta admit rc is the hardest skill overall.... i mean u cant just buy ess @ altar and bank the runes @ altar again when uve crafted them.. always gotta bank or maybe w66/99 Lawcompany :-k anyawys it stays the hardest skill.... prayers is quite easy now tbh... buy dragonbones and use em on POH gilded altars goes realy fast

Smithing, then Mining. Smithing just because it takes so long, and it's just boring! And mining because unless you mine something that you get relatively quickly, then it completly bored you. I mean, I tried to mine 1k coal (61 mining), and was brain fried by 500!

mining and smithing for me..

 

cause i hate them both...

 

i wanna power mine to 99 but then i cant think about how much iron i would drop..

 

 

 

EDIT bean....i love your avatar...rofl *steal*

IGNORE THESE FOUR WORDS

Herblore has make x potion, easy, just costs alot.

 

 

 

Prayer has Gilded alters, again costs alot.

 

 

 

Construction costs a whole lot too, but it's no different from some other skills.

 

 

 

Runecrafting is pretty hard, but FFL can make it faster.

 

 

 

Slayer isn't that hard, it's just killing stuff.

 

 

 

My vote goes to Mining, they've been nerfing that skill since day one :boohoo:

i'd say runecrafting overall. i think prayer is the hardest in f2p, and rc is the second hardest to level

I find mining and smithing to be tough and prayer.

You can narrow everything down to a simple option of just buy - make - sell (or 'just killing') and make pretty much any skill easy. I think it's more about how much work is involved - and that depends on how much you're willing to buy.

 

 

 

For example, I am completely self sufficient - if I can gather something for free I won't pay for it (I won't even gather resources then sell for money!). I even delayed completing DT just so I could get the magic logs myself. So for me, any skill that requires other things to work is hard as I have to gather those items first. Herblore and Farming are probably the worst as decent herbs and seeds are fairly rare for someone who won't pay. Construction isn't great either as I'm not exactly the richest out there... So all skills are fairly hard for me...

Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores:

Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA

Hey where was the party? I remember stumbling randonly into a f2p 99 smithing party at the Falador Party Room.

 

 

 

Slowest: Slayer or RCing

 

 

 

As for as hard, maybe smithing because it is only smith 10 lol

Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

Magic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having to use runes really ticks me off. And then, having to use a lot of, often expensive, runes.

Actually I take my Herblore comment back.

 

 

 

Agility for me... :shock:

 

 

 

If it isn't the most boring skill around, i'll never know what is! :ohnoes:

It is hard yes i should know.

 

 

 

I think this is the hardest:

 

 

 

Runecrafting/Mining/smithing/slayer

 

 

 

They are tough

 

 

 

P.S Herblore costs alot and fishing can take up to a month at shilo

This question is easy for me: Runecrafting. I love the idea of making runes and all, and the profit is without a doubt great, but I just can't stand more than a few runs before I start getting bored, a few more follow during which I start to get distracted, and by the 20th or so, I'm either off doing something else, or off Rs altogether. I just can't stand Ruencrafting.

mining without a doubt. Most the others there is just not as much clicking + mining you cant buy. Soooo gotta say mining.
