snick5 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This has happened to me a few times and I was trying to decide what was better.... While working on a slayer task and working on STR. Watching STR very closely, It levels up and i celebrate.. Then I get a herb and clean it or bury a bone or something of that nature and the related skill goes up. I had No idea that the skill was that close to going up. Here is the question, What is better To know a skill is about to go up and making it or being surprised?

Dax Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I like the second better, fun when you find that you get a random level that you didn't expect. :D #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Being surprised is better of course. Although, I do like knowing which skills are closer so I can purposely train them and get that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames227 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It's fun when you advance a level when you dont think you are as it gives you a nice surprise. Like I advancced thieving (yay level 55) yesterday in stealing creation and I was happy! My username is jamesrules90 NOT jimmyjames227.Click here to feed me!A nice undieable one!!!

tintin113 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It's pretty fun to get a level when you don't expect it, but a bit unrealistic when you get to higher levels. Not knowing when to level up would mean drifting through the game without an aim, and although it would be a nice surprise, considering how long you have to wait for a level up when you get to lvl 90+ it would get very annoying.

trashyyy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I like the first option, because I have one 99 skill, and working on a second one, and so when I'm closely watching, and calculating the time before I achieve my level, once I get it I feel like some sort of great accomplishment.

Randox Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I track str, att, and def (naturaly making those last 3k points take forever). I normally don't track hp, and know its going to level maybe 1 in 30 levels. I like the bonus suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well it's fun to have a surprise, but that simply doesn't ever happen for me anymore : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongtong Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I like being surprised :) -Sigh- I miss the feeling of getting excited when I levelled up in Runescape. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Resonae Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I remember a few months ago I was trying to get mining up... I eventually gave up, then about a month later some guy asked me to make him an iron chain, I went and mined the iron and my mining went up. Possibly the nicest suprise I've ever had. MR. OCTOPUS BEARD DISAGREES! No, THAT's what she said. Wanna know how to keep an idiot busy? Read below.Wanna know how to keep an idiot busy? Read above.

Bashful Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 a nice surprise is always nice.. thats why i dont constantly monitor my xp after every monster i kill, or after every ore i mine.. i just continue wadever im doing and its really nice when i do level up, usually faster than expected.

Master_Smither Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I always liked a suprise level. Also since checking XP seems like it makes it go slower.

Racheya Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I always liked a suprise level. Also since checking XP seems like it makes it go slower. Definately. I was training up my Strength yesterday and it felt like it was taking forever, after ten minutes of not looking at the exp I was like... 400 exp from leveling :thumbsup: I edit for the [Tip.It Times].
