purewcnub Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 99 magic. Also, I don't think you can afford 99 construction, if you could it would be painfully slow. Goals: 94 magic94 ranged55 slayerAddy gloves-done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellis Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 How fast do you want to get there? And do you just want one to feel good about it or do you want one that you will put to regular use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_Tam_Tan_Tien Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Personally instead of one 99 which has no real usefullness ( Ie fletching ), get all your skills to 70, that way you get a taste of what you enjoy, unlock most of the good training methods to start you off and it boosts your total. Or just get fletching since its already in the mid 80's.

Bloodstain Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'd say hunter. Pretty fast 99 and makes a ton of money from level to catch red chins to 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanksrule Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 i'm relying on personal experience on how you think getting a 99 would be. i know that people have different experiences but i just want a stupid 99 to get it over with. there any possibilty i can make money on fletching to 99 without cutting my own logs?

gun_hippy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Afaik, there's no way to fletch without loss. You might be able to make a couple gp feathering bolts when the market is right, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatballr Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Afaik, there's no way to fletch without loss. You might be able to make a couple gp feathering bolts when the market is right, but that's about it. Are you sure? I am pretty sure buying yew logs + b strings makes you a profit. I haven't done the calcs in almost 6 months but back then it was a decent way to get money + exp fast. ----------- Since I do believe there is profit to be made with fletching I say you go for 2 99's (that's right 2 lol) Go with fletching for 99 then with the profit made blow it on cooking. Now you may be saying why in the world would you do that. Well a trimmed skillcape is useful for just about any combat situation other than ranging or maging. Now I realize you are getting the 99 just go get it but you should consider this at least. Also they are the 2 fastest and cost efficient on your list (at least gp/exp wise in the "buyable" skills) If that's not your cup of tea here are a few things you may want to consider. 99 rc - Very respected, highly profitable, very time consuming and concentration is needed. (will take the longest out of the ones you listed) 99 crafting, herby and smithing - should not be attempted on a 10m budget. They are respected, however very costly if you want to get the 99 fast or even at a decent rate of exp. And the low cost methods add a ridiculous amount of time onto the end product. However, they are the most useful at 99 since you can make every potion,armor/weapon and craft anything. 99 fishing and wc - These will take you awhile however they are more rewarding than fletching and cooking. They are also skills that require little to no attention at all. The occasional random and switching of tree or fishing spot. You can watch movies or browse the web while you do this to reduce boredom. 99 hunting - the second most profitable out of the ones you mentioned (only lower than rcin) The exp is slow from 63-80, but it definitely speeds up at 80. From 80-99 will net you about 23m with chins at 623 (current market price) Requires a lot of attention though, also a lot of clicking. Apparently, my signature was to big.

doomy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Woodcutting, then with the logs fletching. You're over 1/4 of the way there, and you''ll profit. Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i'm not even remotely sure, at all =] Fletch jsut tends to jump between -slight- loss or -slight- profit, i figured with yew logs doing so well it'd be lossy atm. Oh well.

Kellis Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 You can easily buy 99 firemaking if you want. It's a useless skill (except for the Inferno adze, which is DEFINITELY worth picking up), but it's fairly fast, and cheap to buy. Just go maples. At 36 each, you can probably buy it for under 4m if your firemaking's in the middle range of levels. Oh, almost forgot. The reason I mention it is that it's FAST. You could probably get to it in a week or so if you were willing to spend every moment on runescape burning logs. If you decide to, don't forget to pick up the experience boosting rewards from Beacon Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayOxide Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Personally instead of one 99 which has no real usefullness ( Ie fletching ), get all your skills to 70, that way you get a taste of what you enjoy, unlock most of the good training methods to start you off and it boosts your total. Or just get fletching since its already in the mid 80's. Here is your answer. The real answer. Dont get 99 in a skill like fletching or cooking if you have 21m. Use that 21m to get 70 in all skills, and see what you like from then-on-in. Personally, I only want 3 99s atm, and they all cost an [wagon]-load, of money, and time. Which is exactly why im in the low percentage of level 100+ (101) without a skillcape. Cause most have untrimmed fletching, cooking, or strength I dont need a siggy no moar.

Avid43 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Get 99 Hunting then spend all the money on 99 Crafting, thats what I'm currently working towards... To the people that say hunting is fast exp, I have extenisvely timed exp rates from level 1-95 and I can say it takes approx 170hours from level 1-99... To me that seems quite a long time...

kdtaereo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Do what you wish. Even if it's a slow skill. I'm getting 99 mining soon, don't mind the 5 months i will be mining. @santana_raphaelI'm retired from Runescape due to my really bad connection, maybe coming back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 i'm relying on personal experience on how you think getting a 99 would be. i know that people have different experiences but i just want a stupid 99 to get it over with. there any possibilty i can make money on fletching to 99 without cutting my own logs? better yet, why not go for the Fire Cape? looks better, better stats AND it self-animates! along with Ray, im also a small percentage of 100+ without a skill cap, im doing 99 defence beause its the number one combat skill i enjoy, followed by farming as my number 1 non-combat skill. its hard since im keeping atk/str at 80 but it is so worth it in the end. I will say do a skill YOU enjoy. if you like cooking, go for it, adore woodcutting? grab an axe! dont go for a 99 JUST to get a cape and blend in, because from 90-99 it's hell. (i should know) and 70+ in all is good, allows access to alot of money making methods, quest cape is obtainable and you'll find a skill you like along the way.

RayOxide Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 +1. The only reason that Aura and I dont have skillcapes is cause we actually want a decent, hard working skill as our first 99. For me, thats Crafting. >_> I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 hrm.. outta the skills you listed there.. ill prefer rc or hunter. nice skills to have a 99. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatballr Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Can everyone please stop saying to get 70 in all skills and blah blah blah... if you haven't noticed he has 60+ in every skill so he clearly has an idea of skills he enjoys over what he does not. Hence the list he made. Also, I am pretty sure yanksrule (thread starter) could care less whether you are getting a respectable 99 or one that takes a longer time than say fletching or cooking. Did he ask for personal experience toward going for a 99? Yes. Did he ask for your opinion on what 99 is more respectable? No. Did he ask, should I get my stats to 70+ then decide? No. For once just answer the question and do it factually not opinion based off of your views. Take into context what is being asked in the question and answer it. The only opinion you have in the answering of this question is whether or not he should get 99 hunting, wc, rc, fishing, crafting, herblore, fletching, cooking or smithing.

RayOxide Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 60+ in every skill is nothing in comparison to 70+ in every skill. 70+ is actually a major breakthrough. And hes asking which 99 he should get, so we're telling him why he shouldnt get the noobier capes. Jesus dude its help and advice. Leave. Please? And btw, saying that fletching and cooking are really stupid capes. Is true. Especially when he has 21m to spend. I dont need a siggy no moar.

barbwireboy3 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Im joining ray in the 100+ without a skillcape club! (105) [/OT] Anyway, get whichever YOU enjoy the most, like others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatballr Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 60+ in every skill is nothing in comparison to 70+ in every skill. 70+ is actually a major breakthrough. That's like saying 90+ is nothing in comparison to 91+... its about 500k exp difference. Obviously he has variation in his training ways because he has trained everything. All of my stats are not even 60+ and I could tell you which ones I enjoy more than others. :roll: He has a solid base.. he knows what he likes I see not how saying get 70+ and then choose gives him more of a chance on getting 99 than he has now. And hes asking which 99 he should get, so we're telling him why he shouldnt get the noobier capes. Dont get 99 in a skill like fletching or cooking if you have 21m. Use that 21m to get 70 in all skills, and see what you like from then-on-in. Personally, I only want 3 99s atm, and they all cost an [wagon]-load, of money, and time. Which is exactly why im in the low percentage of level 100+ (101) without a skillcape. Does that answer his question at all? The only thing you said that was relevant was Do not get 99 fletching or cooking. Well that leaves Rc, herblore, smithing, wc, fishing, crafting, and hunter.. So finish the answer. He could give to craps less whether or not you have a skill cape at 100 combat or how many 99's you personally want. Jesus dude its help and advice. Leave. Please? Oh we are in the help and advice forum? I thought we were in the "answer questions half-assed and then give opinion forum"... I must of been sorely mistaken. #-o Pardon me. How about this I will leave when you prove you can answer a question and not tell other people your opinion on what you are doing with YOUR account. Take their point of reference into perspective and answer from within their shoes through your experiences. When you can do that then I will leave. Thank you kindly. And btw, saying that fletching and cooking are really stupid capes. Is true. There is no such thing as a stupid cape or skill (well except firemaking as nothing useful is to come of it whether it be 1 or 99) There are easier ones, and there are time consuming ones. However, anyone with the brass to take the time to get maxed in a skill instantly earns my respect. I do not care if it is fletching or cooking or agility or farming. Whichever you gain my respect. There are over 30 thousand cooking and fletching capes so yes they are indecisively more common but to blow someone off because of that, well that is just rude and disrespectful. I apologize to YanksRule for spamming your thread to hell with my views and in a way yes I am being hypocritical by not adding anything to the topic yet still posting. This is the first time I have ever done this but I will not sit back and be passive any longer. Please report my post if you want, I hope the mods take proper action, should a ban be in order by all means go right ahead. Apparently, my signature was to big.

RayOxide Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Whoa man you seriously dont know much :| He's asking US which 99 he should get we're giving OUR opinions since its WHAT he (kinda) WANTS. and Im CAPITALISING the WRONG words for SOME reason. If you respect people who have 99 fletching, then dude wow, wow. It costs like 30k to get that to 99. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
