heyo! well i've been at the 99 defence goal for well over 5 years and its coming to a close, i currently have 90/99 with 80 atk/str so its quite painful, but i want to know a few things for that final stretch:

 

 

 

*what can i kill thats good experiance and money?

 

*will i die from tenatious boredom of killing the same thing?

 

*how long do you think it'll take at roughly 5-8hrs a day to get 99 from 90?

 

 

 

hope to hear a response, want this skill finished before x-mas. :

Armoured Zombies give both charms, decent money, and experience, and all you need to have done is Defender of Varrock, or you can go to zombie monkeys, and go nonstop and get it in like ermm 2-3 weeks?

 

 

 

To save yourself from boredom, do something fun lol?

You can train slayer with it.

 

 

 

Or i suggest some spots.

 

 

 

> Skeletons in Damis Lair

 

> Amoured Zombies

 

 

 

Xp will be about at least 70k per hour.

 

Thats 92 hours worth of afking :)

I would go with armoured zombies as the above mentioned.

 

 

 

You can also go bandits, it can be annoying getting a world though.

I'm doing 99 def with 85/85 lol. good luck man.

final stretch? Your not even half way lol. But My advise is, if your serious about 99, Race someone else to it. That always helped me... And theres many places to train nowadays to get good exp. And actually Ill race you if u want? my noob is at 69 str right now, getting 99...I figure ill get it in about 3 weeks? if thats in your time span, let me know

Racing someone is always good. But for training spots I say

 

NO GRINDING.

 

90-99 by powertraining is extremely boring.

 

Lately i've been killing cockroaches and i've found it fun and decent xp. Also really nice crimson charms too.

 

Other than this slayer would be nice.

 

 

 

And doing the occasional boss/monster hunt with a few friends/clanmates could do some help. :)

DON'T GRIND

 

 

 

First off, don't set yourself a specific time to finish at. Don't become a slave to a schedule; train only when you feel like training and not because you feel like you have a goal to accomplish.

 

 

 

[*] If you do choose to grind, chain farm. It will provide short breaks and yield farming experience and a nice amount of cash.

 

[*] Race somebody. Competition gives a person the extra motivation to do something. Everyone always wants to prove themselves superior to someone else.

 

[*] Talking to people via clan chat or who are at the same training spot as you will also help keep you sane.

 

 

 

Oh, and I'm up for a race if you want one. However I'll be training magic instead of defence.

i have Toadflax growing on the side, which makes me 1m a fortnight, i've been racing against Forsaken's 99 Range and another Friend doing 99 defence. I tend to go to Castle Wars once every 2 hours for a break (along with a drink outside), open to races and i'll shoot myself before i grind. :

Slayer and you will get there eventually.

 

 

 

In all honesty 90 defence is fine for most things and strength and attack are more important as they will speed up killing things.
