June 28, 200917 yr After 5 years, I have finally achieved my first 99 - Crafting. It was definitely not what I had anticipated as my first 99 (quite the opposite, I thought it would be one of my last), and I'll give some background information on it in the hidden portion below if you care to read it: [hide=History leading up to 99 Crafting]This was one of the oldest pictures I could find that hadn't been wiped from imageshack's servers or my own computer - this shows that Crafting was the last skill I began to train: It was very surprising to me that Crafting would actually become my first 99 through a chain of events. At first I worked on getting 85 crafting for a goal of all 85+ skills (image link), but soon after (and achieving 1M+ xp in all stats) I began to go at it again. While training, I realized that with the upcoming update to Random Events that gems would most likely drop in supply and merchants would jump on this opportunity, so I bought up around 40k Uncut Emeralds and 10k Uncut Sapphires. I cut the gems and began making them into necklaces and later on rings, by which time the Random Events had been updated and most gem-related items began to shoot up. I made a profit through crafting these until 95 crafting when I decided I didn't want to wait another month or two for the 99, so I sold the cuts gems (most of which were higher price than when I bought them as uncuts) and bought 110k Hard Leathers. A week later, here I am 20M poorer bearing my first 99 :D To put this into perspective, this is a breakdown of this year's leveling so far: Stats at end of '08: January (+7 levels) January 2: 79 Crafting (691 total) January 7: 80 Crafting (692 total) January 10: 72 Runecrafting (693 total) January 14: 81 Crafting (694 total) January 24: 100 Frog Tokens!

I'll also have to consider and plan going for another 99 eventually. Thanks to people from Nexus and TFS for coming. :)

July 1, 200917 yr Author 10/10 I'm actually considering going for it too (In P2P :-X) Just curious, did your hardleather bodies sell in GE or did you have to sell to general store? I sold a few to the general store, and I'm holding on to the rest in case I ever find a way to get rid of them for more than 17 GP (general store price).
