Pinkbullet3 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just feel proud about yourself. It's your achievement, and if you think it cost you a lot of time and dedication, then you can be proud of yourselves. Just don't expect any respect for it, because indeed, it's extremely common, so you can't expect anyone to marvel at your strength cape. ^ Blog.

Big_Stingman Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just always remember that even though a lot of people have it, it's not completely useless! In fact, having 99 strength is one of the few skills that really helps to have maxed out, unlike firemaking...and cooking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Why the hell shouldn't you be proud of your achievements? Just because it's common doesn't mean it's ludicrously easy. Besides, what should you care of what everyone else thinks of your 99? If they like it, they like it; if they don't, they don't.

I_am_Geed Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's the most popular and common of combat achievement capes. If you wanted to feel special, should've gone for defense. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky1_2007 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 if you think about it, it isnt all that common, of all 2 million people that are ranked in STR, only 25% of them have the 99   and then there's all the other people that aren't ranked.   which is a few million more, and then it seems alot rarer. retired 12-31-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilson1111 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I usually use my whip   I'm no expert, but I don't think 84 attack, 80 defense and 99 strength adds up with "usually" using your whip -- you're practically a strength pure.   TO everyone who quoted,thanks for your support.   and punitive.   I usually DO use my whip, but when I hit 90 str, I stuck to my d scimmy.   When I hit 99, I instantly sold the scimmy :pray: =P 16800000+ 15000000+ 9milGWD Drops:(Lootshare)2 Bandos Hilts, 1 BCP, 1 Bandos Tassets, 17 Snapdragon SeedsSlayer Drops: 7 Abbysal Whips, 37 Dragon Boots, 17 Mauls, 1 visage.

TheValeyard Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 You should as long as you didn't PC or bandit it.   Also take comfort in the fact that 99 str is actually useful unlike skills like firemaking that people max out then never touch again.

Eyebeam Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It is, without a doubt, an achievment in my eyes. I'm currently at the 5m mark and I've already put it much effort and time. So, 99 is still pretty far away. As such, the amount of dedication and effort that you've put in has already more than doubled of mine and I strongly believe that it deserves much respect and you should feel proud to get it. #3325 to 99 Smithing #4332 to 99 Herblore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzator Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just because it's common doesn't mean it's less of an achievement. Strenght was my first 99, and even tho there weren't 80k (seriously?!) people with it back then its a HOT cape, a great and usefull 99 to have and in my opinion any 99 is a huge and marvelous achievement.   Congratz on the cape and the level which you've probably gotten by now :) ~ Opinions mean immunity for beeing told you're wrong ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Any time you get a 99 it is something special. It might not be special to everybody, but it should be to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecat318 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 99 Strength was my first 99, and I thought it was a damn good achievement, although its common, getting 13 million experience in any skill is something tough, even cooking :ohnoes: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC3 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 99 str is my personal favorite out of all the melee combat stats, yes it is worth it, its a great 99.   any combat 99s are respectable, not the pointless buyables that you wouldnt get 99 in if skills capes didnt exist. 4000000657th to 99 cookin555555406th to 99 flethcin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The amount of people who have it does not directly correlate with how difficult it is to obtain. When compared to skills like Thieving and Cooking, Strength is actually a challenge. It's just that many people desire having it so the "demand" for having 99 Str is high. There are also a high number of 99 Slayers now. Even though it's a hard skill, it has a lot of level 99ers because it is highly desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage_Boii Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ofcourse it is. Any 99 is a great achievment. Congratulations. Let your yellow mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's a hard skill, it has a lot of level 99ers because it is highly desirable.   Really? It seems I don't see half as many 99 slayers as 99 combat, cooking, firemaking, fletching or woodcutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I don't see half as many 99 slayers as 99 combat, cooking, firemaking, fletching or woodcutting.   A lot compared to the skills that have similar Xp rates (Mining, Farming, Runecrafting, etc.) Even though Slayer is slower than these slow skills , there are more people who have 99 than you would think because Slayer is highly desirable - not because it is "easy".

After that, people are training it because they like it, not because it's desireable for some other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazel Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 A wise man once said "Hey, if 99 Fletching is so easy, why can't I get it?" He proceeded to attempt to get a fletching cape and gave up after an hour of knifing logs into oblivion. (I'm reffering, of course, to me :thumbsup:)   Seriously, even though a lot of people have a 99 doesn't mean it's worthless (except Cooking... No offense to all those that own Cooking capes). If it's something you want, it doesn't matter what other people think. My current long-term goal is 99 Defense, and I stick with it even though people ridicule me saying it's "pointless".   On a side-note, 99 Strength is one of the most useful 99's there is and that's probably why so many people have it.
