Well, every time a skill comes out, I say that I am going to get it to 99. (or high) But I never have gotten a new skill very high. Why will this be different? Yes, I need it for 138 combat... but still

 

I plan on getting 99 summoning.

 

I have the funds.

 

 

 

I kind of have excuses for the other skills...

 

Construction... I was raising it, and I was in top 500 for a bit. But I simply couldn't afford it.

 

Hunter... Just never interested me I guess. Ended up training it a bit higher later when it was less crowded.

 

Farming... is now my lowest skill.

 

 

 

And if anyone looked at my stats they'd notice that I simply cannot stand training a lot of skills, I just can't do it. Especially when it requires a lot of paying attention. (My only real exception to this is 99 prayer, which I managed to get because it was so fast, and I needed it for 126 combat.)

 

 

 

So... I don't even know what I'm trying to get at here.

 

I guess I'm just really hoping that summoning is similar to combat in the way it's trained, or I don't know if I will be able to train it straight to 99, which I really, really want to do.

 

 

 

Can anyone give me some tips or encouragement or something for how to train a skill if it ends up not being something I enjoy doing?

 

I've also never set a goal of a 99 skill and gone straight to 99 getting it.

 

 

 

Yeah, I am more confused now... \ :XD:

Train some summoning, then go do something else that you enjoy more, then go back and train it some more...and keep doing this until you get 99 basically.

:o Make a blog. While there are to many it can be a good way to stick on track. This is because alot of people know you are going for a goal and makes it so you have a way to see the actual progress you have made.

 

 

 

How did you afford 99 prayer if you couldn't afford const? :-s

 

 

 

And as you said, as all your friends start going for 99 summoning you'll want to be there right with them :XD:

That's the thing though, I'd rather do it all at once, which is something I've never been able to do before. :-#

 

But of course if it comes to that I will. Not gonna let myself get so bored that I want to quit before I even reach 138 combat lol.

Thanks, making a blog might be a good idea.

 

 

 

I didn't become wealthy in this game until quite some time after construction :P

 

 

 

I have 135m to spend on summoning currently, if that's what I have to do.

Totally go for it. Pm me a link to your blog if you make one. :wink:

 

 

 

And as you know. Focus on the skill when you are going for it. Going to borrows trips and stuff to "take a break" makes people give up. :

 

 

 

 

 

But then it all depends on what the skill is like.

you know if you don't have to get to 99.

 

 

 

I have no 99's right now but i assume, if i ever get one, it will be combat related.

 

 

 

I really don;t like hunter at all, i just doesn't appeal to me, i am only lvl15 and will only raise it higher if another skill i like or a quest that is very necessary needs it.

 

 

 

It's similar with farming, although i am going to raise this eventually to grow snapdragons, it is lvl42 now i believe.

 

 

 

What i am saying is just have fun, i enjoy barrows and slayer, then rune crafting(lol) and a few other skills. I may buy some 99 skills if i get the cash but i wont get 99's in skills just for bragging rights.

 

 

 

However i understand for some it isn't bragging rights it;s self satisfaction, aiming to be the best one can be, i get that to, it's up to you what you do.

Get 99 summoning or you will die...k?
