At what level is a skill considered "high"? Combat effects?

[siul16]

try dividing your total by your combat.

 

 

 

17.2 is the balance number, as its the average value if all your skills are the same be it 99, 70 or 50 and so on.

 

 

 

ie mine is 1816/115= 15.79.

 

 

 

this means i am more combat orientated as 15.8<17.2

 

anything below 17.2 would suggest a combat orientation

 

anything above 17.2 would suggest a skilling orientation

 

 

 

have a go and let me know what you think to this, personally i think its a better way of seeing how skilled you are as i personally think a more balanced player is a higher player, as it shows skills in all areas of the game, rather than just skilling, or combat.

 

 

 

that is for member isn't it? i did it with my own combat lvl and it result to be 12,27... but i am f2p what it would mean for a f2p?

 

 

 

and for myself 70+ is high, just beacuse my higier skill is only 66, but i would say it all depends on a person own way of look it =P

[NightHawK]

I consider high more at least 1.122527135 times higher than mine

[allwind]

well my opining of what a skill is said to be high enough is depend if your pure and the difficulty, money, and time put in on the skill. For example 85+ rc I think its high.

[hhankhilll]

tbh it is up to the individual whether a skill is high to them or not obviously a lvl 138 thats been playing since the dawn of time is gonna think nething under 90-95 is horrible but say some1 who is lvl 70 might think 70 or 80 is amazing and anything above is epic as for the lvl 3 compared to todays standards with all the lvl 3 skillers those skills aint that great but if they have only been playin for a month or 2 id say (not knowing wat kind of xp an average lvl 3 skiller or the best skillers get) that those lvls r pretty good

 

 

 

obviously imo wether a skill is high or not does depend on wat the cb lvl is

I think (could be wrong, here) that the dividing line on f2p is 11.89. So you would be skilling oriented if I'm correct, and I'm just slightly combat oriented, at 11.7.

 

 

 

On topic of what is 'high' I agree with whoever said any skill in the top 10k of that skill. Or at least i agree with using the hiscores rather than picking a number (like 80 or 90) and applying it to all skills. Not entirely sure if I agree with 10k, but I guess it's as good as any.

[Atom Smash40]

For the person who said there's about 50k people with 99 fm, there's actually about 16.4k

 

 

 

my mistake, i meant fletch. i was thinking fm for something else :wall:

[StGerolf]

It depends also at the rank you have. Farming and Herblore are faster high then strength.

[leeuhhpluradon]

I can see both sides of the argument.

 

Really, no, those skills wouldn't be considered high, because anyone could get them up no matter what combat level the player is.

 

However, level 3s are usually seen as players who just started or haven't played much, but when you find out they have 60+ level skills, it's pretty cool.

 

 

 

So, basically, it really doesn't truly matter what the combat level is, but like if I saw a level 120 with only 2 hunter, it'd be a bit disappointing (for lack of a better word).

yeah! i am skilling oriented! i should train more my skills to be more skiller =P now i think u are right it should be from the 10k highscore, or maybe 5k... ah... 10k should be enough

[Maulmachine]

90+ is the low-end of "high" imo, Jagex are still stuck back in 2001 where they think "Level 70" is high for RS2, quite stupid really considering you can get 1-70 in like 30 hours max?

 

Get 70 farming in 30 hours.

Well, with 10k, the lowest level to be considered "high" is 75, and that's in construction. Almost all are in the 80's or 90's, which is about what most people are labeling high. So I think 10k works nicely.

[Jenove]

i say having all round same lvl skills is considered high

 

take me for ex.

 

if i didnt "waste" all my time on all those "useless skills" i could have say 90+ in one skill such as magic/ strength etc. yes other skills vital to cmb and must be high i say 40 is the milestone and 70 is high and 90+ is insane (especially f2p) dont beleive me

 

here is ex

 

 

 

traingin cmb u have to buy lobbys/sharks/monkfish

 

 

 

as opposed to getting ur fish and cook high and doing it urself (nice profit too)

[ToxicBlood122]

To me high is having your skill ranked on the high scores.As long as it is then its high.

[davidium]

i think high is very subjective...a level 138 with 50 slayer would be considered low but a level 3 with 50 slayer would probably be considered quite high. all depends on how hard the skill is to train. i wouldn't consider 80 wc high cause it's not even in the top 100k ranks but 80 mining would be quite high so in order to be considered high i would say above 100k ranks for some common skills like fletch, wc and above 50k for the others.

[spyderownzyou]

a skill should be considered high, when you feel happy with it, not when others do

 

for example, i was happy with my 'high' combat when I finally hit 110 members and 100 ftp

 

I was also happy with my 'high' attack (level 90) and when I got all skills 50+ along with 1700 total :thumbsup:

 

but any woodcut or cook levels below 99 are low imo ;) :lol:

 

overall I am happy with my stats, seeing as I've only had a year's membership so far :

[D Jay99]

Get 70 farming in 30 hours.

 

The actual time spent on farming 1-70 is under 30 hours. I myself am getting 62k farming xp/day, spending about 40 minutes total on it.

[F2p_slet]

To me a skill is conciderd high when you have a rank below 10k.

[jessy87]

i would say 80 is about where a skill SHOULD be. 85+ is where it starts to get high-ish

 

 

 

you have to take into consideration right around 82-85 is 3mil exp. A considerable amount for some skills. Of course 80 fletch/cook not high, but other skills like RC

 

 

 

yeah, im not at all like that either, hardly any of my skills are 80-85. but still, i get by with what i need to do.

[losthopeandwings]

i think a high lv skill now a days would be like 93-95 plus before skill capes it would be over 80 because nobody had motivation to make their skills high unless if it was monetary gain before the current date

 

it was rare and awesome to see a lv 3 wearing a party hat and having 99 woodcutting and wearing lots of expensive things

 

but its become more common place now since players what to peruse that awesomeness

 

high combat helps some skills as you said like slayer and everything but is not necessary cutting trees safe in seers or mineing a rune rock unless you train in more secluded areas like the wilderness mining rune

 

 

 

but in conclusion i find that being a pure skiller would be much more boring then a combat oriented player and i see no need to be a pure skiller to buy expensive things at a low lv if u cant ware any of it besides items with no requirements if you fight the obvious purpose would be to make ur self stronger with those items or make more money with those skills but if u cant fight anything stronger then a lv 10 why have 99 woodcutting and millions of gold or like 30 whips that you cant use

 

 

 

however any skill over 90 or so would be high because all need the same amount of experience most skills relate to one another

 

in the long run skills help you in combat more then combat helps your skills their are some exceptions but i see it as skills help u make money or get supply to make combat higer but if ur a pure ur just making money to make it or just gettign exp to have it

 

so...i dont know ware i was going with this i lost myself ignore this post :lol:

YES. Definitely. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

I also agree with anyone who says that balanced skills are good. I always try to keep my magic/attack/defence/range/strength within a couple levels of each other, mostly for the fun but partly so I can use controlled and know that they'll all level within a couple kills of each other. I also keep levels that depend on each other (firemaking, woodcutting; mining, smithing/smelting) within a few levels... Makes everything cheaper if I can just make stuff instead of buying it.

[ray20ray08]

i think all members only skills are high at level 75 and the non member skills are high at 70 but thats jsut me

[lvl3skils3]

I reckon what you think is high is high - set personal goals and stick out to achieve them.

 

Cheers! :D

[Marceno]

Combat lvl is usually oriented in the game with experience. This is because it is difficult and time consuming to get high lvl. So, people generally consider a high lvl to have high skills as well even if they don't involve combat. I do agree with you though. People have lower expectations of lower lvls because they lack experience. I personally think a lvl 3 with 99 stats in non combat skills like hunting really isn't that impressive. I think its kinda cool, but more of a waste of time lol. I only have a main though.

[Zierro]

i think all members only skills are high at level 75 and the non member skills are high at 70 but thats jsut me

 

 

 

I think there would be some exceptions to that rule though. 75 Slayer is much harder to get than 70 Firemaking.

[GeneralTedd]

I think that a level is considered "high" based on how many other players have achieved that level. For example when summoning first came out, everybody who was at level 50+ within the first two days was considered to have a very high level because nobody else had it. Now with more people summoning, 50 is not high at all.

 

 

 

It is hard to put a number on what is considered "high" but I would consider somebody in the top 50,000 in the high scores to be a high leveled.
