Skillers are they the future?

[RuneyLew]

Hi everywhere i go i see a skiller either a level 3 with 99 skills apart from combat skills and slayer or a lvl 3 at barb with 90 wc

 

 

 

either way skillers are everywhere but why?

 

 

 

what do they achieve yes the obvious they have a skill cape but i ask some of them why and they say for the money, what fun can they get with money without combat where is fun? all they can do is walk around... Level 3! blue p hat! 99 rc!!! standing at grand exchange for 2 years :?

 

 

 

i wanna ask skillers out there and people who want to be skillers why do you want to be or why are you a skiller?

 

 

 

please reply with your thoughts even if your not a skiller

 

 

 

Thank you

Hmmm ya i've had that a few times but still wouldn't you prefer having say a level 100 main with combat stats and high skills then you could have the skills and the power? my account is kinda like that i'm 108 combat 1666 total and 277 quest points and i can practicaly do anything in the game which makes it more fun for me yet a skiller all can do is walk around :?

[Toad]

no raising all stats is the future.

[Smapla]

usually to advance, features are added.

[berserkerkc]

I think when skillers where created, level 3's in particular. The owners did it for the sense of accomplishment. I mean, back then, how many level 3's would have a 99.

 

But now they seem to becoming more and more common and that envy from higher level players seeing levels 3's walking about with skillcapes

 

has all but vanished

Punctuation is your friend.

 

 

 

And what do you mean by

I've NEVER seen a skiller like that. EVER. Not saying there isn't someone like that out there, but dont over-exaggerate.

 

Some people might make skillers because they enjoy the challenge of starting with no money or skills, and eventually working their way up. And who says skillers cant have 99 slayer? You don't need to kill anything to level slayer.

[Guest]

There is no skiller with maxed skiller stats. The closest is Pure Kq Pax, and he's still 60 or so total levels away. So dont exaggerate. There is also ONLY ONE skiller in the game with 99 Runecraft, Mister Fred, and he's hard at work training for 99 agility so I highly doubt youve seem him STANDING AT THE GE FOR 2 YEARS.

 

 

 

Anyways, to answer your question, I personally am a skiller (look at sig) and I can see you dont understand the sense of acomplishment we feel when we get a 99. I mean, if your level 138 and you have a... say a smithing cape, and theres a Level 3 with a smithing cape aswell, getting all the attention, wouldnt you be jealous?

 

 

 

EDIT: Just read the main post again:

 

without combat where is the fun? all skillers can do is walk around

 

...

 

What the heck are you talking about?

 

A humungous portion of the game is do-able without combat. Combat is not Runescape! If people dont even enjoy combat, why train it? To boost your total level/combat level for ego?

 

 

 

P.S. Soul In Pain, a Level 3 skiller, already has 71 slayer.

You'll find you are super wrong. most things in rs contain combat skills. only a few rare things that can be non combatly and have fun but how don't they get bored? all they can do is watch and even non combat mini games for e.g stink...

 

 

 

Also wtf u on about there isn't many maxed skillers theres hundreds i can name a few..

Hi sorry about that was over the top but everywhere you go you see level 3s or low combat with 99 skills which are pointless

[jords]

I'm a skiller but not in the traditional level 3 sense, I have always wanted good total level for my combat even before I heard or knew what a skiller was. Since I became a member my total level has alawys been higher than most my combat. Even now I don't know if there is anyway the same combat as me with as high total level I'm sure there's plenty though just i've never heard of. 93 cb - 1919 total for those who don't want to look at signature.

Just because you're not killing things it doesn't make it pointless -.-

 

 

 

I don't know if skillers are the future. I hope that more skillers do emerge so that we're not totally combat based since a lot of Runescape does seem to be. Perhaps the members moreso. I'd like a bit of balance really. Skillers are useless without warriors and warriors are useless without skillers.

No.. thats why you have A warrior with skills -.-

 

 

 

i'm not saying non combat skills are bad because they arnt i'm level 108 and i have 1667 total which isn't ubber high but higher than average. And i can go to every single place on runescape and do everything runescape offers yet a skiller cant go to many places due to quest limitation; priest in peril, lunar, ect. so still why people just skill with 3 combat

[money123678]

You don't understand the reason that there are skillers because you have a much differenent view on what is fun in runescape. To you combat is fun. It is the point, sure skills are ok, but you play for the combat. (this is mostly a guess based upon the way that you've responded so far.) Some people actually find skills fun. I for example happen to love mining and smithing, yet others hate it with every fiber of their being. Some people don't like combat. They don't find it fun, and the point of this game is to have fun. Another reason that some people choose to be a skiller is for the challenge. They enjoy the challenge of having to find work arounds to combat areas. Of creating their own way of training a skill that isn't the norm, isn't the same old, same old.

Yes but still why just have skils -.- if they love mining and smithing why just mine and smith ect why not get your combat up a bit do a few quests 2 unlock area's and skill there?????

 

 

 

all leads down to why no combat?

[money123678]

Because they may not like combat. They may find quests and combat un-enjoyable. If you don't like something, why do it?

I'm not saying they need to be level 138 with 277 quest points all they have to do is do a simple quest which requires to kill a level like 10 -.- then they could unlock hundreds more ways to train...

 

 

 

its obvious the reason they are so low isn't due to dont like to train the skills or do the quests because it takes 10mins to do quest and like a month to get wc or somut

[Reindeer]

Yes

Not sure I understand the last line, so tell me if I translated it wrong: "It's obvious that the reason they are so low isn't because they don't like to train the skills or do the quests, because it only takes 10 minutes to do the quest and like a month to get woodcutting or something."

 

 

 

And, assuming that that is accurate, let me start by saying that the time taken for the quests vs. the time taken to skill isn't important. They enjoy training skills. They don't enjoy questing or fighting monsters. How does that concern you? Just let them be, sheesh.

 

 

 

"Hundreds more ways to train." Hmm. Okay, you might have to correct me on some of these, becaue I'm f2p, but let me give it a go:

 

 

 

Construction: All you need is cash. No combat or quests necessary for the fastest training.

 

Cooking: I believe that the Rogue's Den or the Cooking Guild bank+range room are the fastest ways to cook. Cooking Guild Bank requires quests and combat, but Rogue's Den does not, and cooking is pretty fast anyway.

 

Crafting: I'll admit, I don't know what the "best" way to train Crafting is, but I seriously doubt that it requires combat or quests. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Farming: Magic is probably nice to have for the teleports, but there's enough enchanted jewelery and you don't really train farming non-stop go-go-go anyway. There are some patches that you need quests to get to, too, so I'll grant you that farming is probably a good deal easier with some combat.

 

Firemaking: Yeah... I think I can safely say that firemaking requires no combat whatsoever.

 

Fishing: Fishing is easier with combat. The three fastest methods I've heard are fly fishing in Shilo, Barbarian Heavy Rod, and monkfish in Piscatoris, all of which require some combat. Fishing sharks, however, can be done without combat, and many fishers do that for money, I've heard. But I'll call this one easier with combat.

 

Fletching: See Firemaking.

 

Herblore: No combat needed, unless you're making something like Serum 207.

 

Hunter: Pretty sure no combat needed here, either.

 

Mining: The best way of training is granite mining: combat needed.

 

Runecrafting: Combat is needed for death, blood, astral, and cosmic runes. It is also necessary (or at least very useful) when using the abyss. However, after level 50, teletabs from the runecrafting guild are faster than the abyss - and don't most people craft natures and laws? Combat: marginally useful.

 

Smithing: No combat needed.

 

Thieving: Combat is, I think, necessary or very useful for pickpocketing and Pyramid Plunder. So, yes, combat is very useful for Thieving.

 

Woodcutting: I believe that the best experience is cutting teaks in Tai Bwo Wannai. Combat is apparently not required for that, though it appears that it is helpful for the Jungle Potion quest.

 

 

 

So, skills that are made much easier by having combat: Farming, Fishing, Mining, Theiving, and maybe Runecrafting and Woodcutting. But every last one of them is possible without it, and some people sinply find it more enjoyable that way. Again: how someone else plays should not affect you.

The title is too epic for the topic. Change it pl0x.

No. They are not good sir.

Oh please, dont call me "super wrong." I can see you have never been or ever had a skiller, so you have no idea the perspective we have on the game. "Almost everything combat.. only a few rare things noncombat.." That makes me lol. As someone pointed out above, every single skill that does not raise combat can and has been done, even slayer. Look at soul in pain, level 3 and 71 slayer. You also call skillers with skillcapes "pointless." This is not the rant forum, so dont rant about your jealousy here. Skillers work just as hard if not harder than the rest to achieve their 99's, how is that pointless?

 

 

 

Oh, you say hundreds of skillers have maxed out? How many really have? 0.

 

No one is even close, the closest is Pure Kq Pax, he's still around 50 levels away, as the max total level for Level 3 atm is 1604, including 4 summoning/prayer levels.

 

Eternal Dad is not even level 3, he gained combat. And even he is not much closer than the rest, still a long shot away.

 

 

 

I still wonder why you created this topic, you start off by asking if skillers are the future? then you rant about how skillers are so pointless...

Skillers can get into shilo and even then rasolo fly fishing is almost on par with barb fishing and doesn't require any quests.

 

Mining: The best way of training is granite mining: combat needed.

 

no combat needed for granite

 

Thieving: Combat is, I think, necessary or very useful for pickpocketing and Pyramid Plunder. So, yes, combat is very useful for Thieving.

 

Though higher hp makes it slightly easier, it's still possible to do it at 10 hp with some degree of efficiency. I think Elishot got 200m xp at lvl 3 on knights
