:::: 99 SKiLLS - THe FaCTS ::::

[Inuashakent]

FIREMAKING, COOKING AND FLETCHING ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST SKILLS! While this is true...

 

In fact, Woodchopping, Mining, Hunter, Combat, (including forms or Ranged and Magic) Runecrafting, Fishing, and Theiving gain you money, thus placing them cheapest. And this technically is true...

 

 

 

FIREMAKING IS THE WORST AND MOST POINTLESS SKILL - REALLY?

 

Without Firemaking, few people would cook near the Exchnage, therefore few people cook, less food, less food means people training any form of combat will pay more money for cooked food and if food became so scarce, people might quit. This wouldn't happen, but that's an example. This is fail. Less people would cook near the exchange, leading to people cooking in other locations. No effect what-so-ever, let alone causing people to quit.

 

 

 

I personally have 99 Firemaking, because I wanted 99 Mining, but decided to go for something a little easier. I didn't love the skill. But I didn't hate it. Here's a fact I've researched:

 

 

 

TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE 99 WOODCHOPPING THAN FIREMAKING! Bet you didn't know that?

 

And why is this? Let's see. Clicking a tree and watching T.V is SOOOO much easier than clicking two things for every individual log to burn. Yes. It is. But... it doesn't make it easier, per say. You gain ~1.5-2x more xp per hour, and even if you calculate in the money earned, Firemaking is definetely easier than Woodcutting. It does require less attention though.

 

 

 

And no, 99 Firemaking is NOT easier than 99 Cooking. If your smart, Cooking is cheaper than Firemaking and Cooking requires a few clicks to cook a whole bag. Firemaking yet I say again, requires two clicks for every log. Who says Firemaking is easier than cooking?

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

 

I deem Woodchopping the cheapest, easiest and best skill to train. You click and wait, gain money or logs and afterwards can burn the logs for 99 Firemaking OR fletch the logs for 99 Fletching OR sell the logs for millions of gp OR ust do it for the skillcape. Woah. Woah. WOAH. Hell no. It's called efficiency. You really don't need opinion to find the easiest skill in the game, which is cooking. Just calculate it out (too lazy to type up the formula). Also, cooking requires even less attention than Woodcutting... the speed of cooking definetely makes up for the money lost because of efficiency.

 

 

 

In order of convenience for anyone wanting a 99 skill. The easiest to hardest I think are: Ok. But as I've stated before, efficiency is a fact in Runescape, if you don't calculate in the fun factor (which is subjective). I can make a couple billion by killing Chickens to 138 Combat. Does that make combat the easiest skill in the game? Efficiency is time and money. You can't just ignore one factor.

 

REMEMBER, I MEAN """""EASIEST"""" AND IF SAME, BY MONEY

It's good to be different, but try to back your claims with evidence.

I only have one 99 skill, so I'm a bit bias, but I think smithing is quite a bit easier than most people give it credit for. After 88, you can cap 150K experience an hour pretty easily if you have the cash to pay for it. I'm not sure how other skills stack up though.

You missed alor of skills out on your list... not very conclusive then.

Interesting question - "Why'd you get 99 Firemaking?"

 

 

 

At my school, people were getting higher and higher stats, close to 99, before the great race started for the first 99. Many were already in the 90-95 range, one was 96, but he quit at the start of it.

 

 

 

I needed a skill to train to 99 to win the race, as my highest was around 70. I didn't know too much and just started Firemaking. I found out (or tried to) the facts written above (sorry they arn't all correct, thanks for your corrections).

 

 

 

And I won the first to 99, beating two mates who had 98 Cooking by a day, and two days after the two got 99 Cooking, one got 99 Woodchopping and one 99 Fletching.

 

 

 

It was a great race and I had fun competing. Playing online with friends is fun :D

 

 

 

Umm, I call it Woodchopping, because as you can see, I am a gramtically correct guy. Spelling like this online has enabled me to get 71wpm (65wpm being my average) on the computer. Thanks guys.
