Fletching Cape.

[Grogthurk]

Honestly, I think anyone who wears this cape is awesome.

 

 

 

My goal is to 99 every skill, even if it takes me 20 years. I'm going to hammer out this one because it's easy and cheap. Why not knock out skills like this first before you do the ones you enjoy?

 

 

 

All you haters can suck an egg. I don't care about your opinion, its not all about hard work. Sometimes its about working smart, not hard.

This man speaks the TRUTH!

[Omali]

Cool story bro.

 

 

 

But if you didn't care about what people thought about you going for a fletching cape, you wouldn't be whining about it, and wouldn't have invested what little time it took to write this thread. You'd be fletching.

 

 

 

You're completely right that it's none of their business, but this issue of skill-cape bashing has been discussed to death.

:roll:

 

 

 

I'm just saying that people who bash on it can suck an egg. If you're trying to 99 all of your skills, you need to get them all amirite?

[Skull]

Fletching is hard as [cabbage].

[quelmotz]

Agreed.

 

 

 

Just because a cape is easier than the rest of the capes, doesn't mean its EASY.

[langer]

Sure, as long as you are having fun, who cares?

 

 

 

I personnaly don't care about capes, mostly use mine when I don't want to risk my fire cape. They take up spqce bank for nothing in my opinion, one is enough and currently mine is the black and red one.

But that makes me jealous because Slayer and Attack are my favorite skills

 

 

 

I'm going to save my favorites for LAST so I'll actually enjoy getting them.

Does that mean Farming and Cons are your favourites? B/c I like them too!

 

 

 

But OT: Nobody said fletching is easy, it still takes plenty of hours, but the reason why people look down on it is because of the sheer amount of people that have them, and it's low cost and AFK ability. I see at least 3 people in the edge bank going for 99 fletch everyday on every world I go, same with the catherby bank and castle wars bank.

Hehe I'm still slaying, currently approaching 15mil XP just because I love the skill too much to stop. I believe you should only do what you like in the game. I admit I love some skills more than others, but after a while with some skills I'm not having fun anymore, so I move to another and get back to it later (Construction, hunter; agility and RC especially).

[funnisam]

Fletching is easy. Fast xp, cheap. Based on getting 99 in every skill, that's kinda sad if you don't actually like all of them.

 

 

 

Clearly you do care what people think, otherwise you wouldn't have whined about it. EVERYONE has the right to an opinion, don't like it? tough luck. This is a free country, i can say what i like, not a dictatorship with you at the top. Don't like my opinion? Well you can rest assured they probably don't like yours either, so don't try and make your view sound right.

 

 

 

Different views are right to different people.

I'm going to hammer out this one because it's easy and cheap. Why not knock out skills like this first before you do the ones you enjoy?

 

I have an answer to this.

 

 

 

First, the goal of the game is not necessarily to get 99 in everything. Most skills have no content associated with high levels. Farming, for example, stops completely once you can plant Torstol, and all level-ups afterwards have no relevance to gameplay. The reason 2376 total is worth getting is to see what goes on in those maxed-out forums.

 

 

 

Second, if there's a skill you really want to get to 99, why are you wasting your time on something else? If you really want 99 agility, but you go for 99 firemaking instead, that's 85 hours you could have spent training agility. By the time you're done with firemaking, thieving, fletching, cooking, and any other "easy" skillcapes, you could have already achieved 99 in whatever skill it was you actually wanted to get 99 in.

 

 

 

Third, if you do decide to quit, then if you do the ones you enjoy first, at least you'll have put time towards something you enjoyed doing, rather than something you were just grinding out to get it over with.

 

 

 

That said, I don't base my respect for anyone on what items they're wearing. I base my respect on what they say. The most a skillcape could make me feel towards another player is envy. 99 in any skill represents nothing except that the player has spent some significant amount of time training that skill.

I completely agree with this. What makes you so sure you're not going to quit before you manage to finish the skills that have to be done and finally move on to skills you do like? Honestly, just finish the skills you like first, and if you're still playing by the time you've done that you can always train skills you don't like.

[Dire_Wolf]

Yeah, Fletching cape is nice cape. I honestly like it. I got many capes and sometimes i don't know which to use...

 

 

 

If i had Fletch cape i would go with that one. The colour theme is kinda calming if you ask me.

[Grogthurk]

Obviously I was whining and a hint of trolling.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm one of those, if I am going to do something, I do it 100% kinda people.

 

 

 

When I played Ragnarok Online I wouldn't stop grinding out characters until I had everything I wanted.

 

 

 

But Runescape is a much better game and I want to 99 them all.

That means I can say that you are stupid. The problem here is people saying it is a noob cape because noobs go for it. I personally love fletching and getting it to 99, for me anyway, was worthwhile. It is NOT tough luck if the opinions people are giving are completely biased, and don't see the other side of things.

[Poopingman]

What irks me is how easily people throw around terms like "n00b" and "easy". Honestly now, anybody working on a 99 skill obviously isn't a newb, and NO skill in this game is easy to get 13,000,000 experience in.

 

 

 

Now of course even the word easy has its faults, since nothing in this game really requires any skill, just time invested.

[langer]

I agree that getting a 99 is not easy, but in comparison to other skills, fletching is indeed one of the easy 99. Or should I say less time consumming, less clicking and less dangerous.

Okay. Fletching is one of the "easiest" 99s to get. Or better put, one of the least time consuming. The average player/person would still consider it hard.

Yes. Think about how many hours it takes to get a fletching cape.

 

 

 

...How many is it, anyway? I forget.

 

 

 

Well, in any case, if you view a fletching cape as "easy" to get, then I hope you're at least consistent, and you recognize that things like 300 rank in Mobilizing Armies or discontinued holiday items or sets of full dragon are even easier to get than any "easy" skillcape.

[The_Gabe]

Lol fletching.

[The_Fray]

I personally cannot stand skills where all I do is click once and wait till my inventory fills up fish or I finish fletching 28 bows. I find those skills very annoying and very difficult to be patient with. I like the fletching skill cape and personally dont care whether or not you enjoyed the skill or grinded it or whatever. If you enjoy wearing that skill cape, then you should go ahead and get it. And there is no way I will ever criticize any skill cape as being too easy (partly because I dont own a single one :cry:) and all skill capes take quite a length of time to achieve.

[Cpchris]

i see your point.

 

 

 

personally, its not that I don't think of it as "bad" 99, along with cooking, its just that its not as impressive as something like rc or something.

 

 

 

it more just bugs me when people brag about having a 99 in fletching or cooking to someone with a 99 in something more impressive (no offense).

 

 

 

and about going for the easier ones first...im pure f2p, so fletchings not really there for me. cooking would be the easiest skill for me. instead, I'm going for 99 smithing first (94 atm). surprisingly, and i dont know if this makes sense, but I didn't have the patience for 99 cooking, which would have taken me about 1-2 months, and less than 15m im assuming? i've been working on 99 smithing since february (started gooing for 99 at level 51) and being a poor f2p noob, its not that easy. yet somehow, i have the patience for this instead of cooking.

 

 

 

smithing has also raised my magic level a ton (from 71-91, with 112k xp left till 92), and so after 99 smithing i will probably go for 99 magic. I also want 99 mining, as it isn't a "buyable" skill (although i still REALLY like smithing, if you can't tell by looking at the rest of my lower-level stats), and it will go with 99 smithing pretty well, and you its not something you can afk from like fishing (don't take it the wrong way fishers, i know most of you high level fishers probably don't afk cuz you have to pay attention to changing fish spots and stuff, im just saying you can afk from it, it will just waste a lot of time).

 

 

 

I may choose to go for 99 cooking before i go for mining, or in between mining. the last time i tried going for 99 cooking was around november, and i started as level 55 or 56, got to level 72, then gave up. i guess you could say its not easy for me =\

[Championfurydelta123]

[hide=Dont read this unless you want to read a long paragraph.]I agree completely! I don't got fletching cape but I got a firemaking cape and I'm tired of everyone going:

 

 

 

" Nice failed 99 n00b!"

 

"Lmfao my 99 ______ Pwns your nub 99!"

 

 

 

Cause a 99 is a 99. It may have been cheaper than yours or shorter but its still a 99 that was pretty hard in our opinions.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

Range vs Firemaking

 

 

 

Range you can get up to literally 325k exp per hr at ape atoll using chimps

 

 

 

Firemaking is like: 150k or something an hour and you can't exactly do anything about it even if you use mage logs.

 

 

 

Plus range your not clicking a billion times >.<

 

 

 

But no I don't find it worthless, cause I got an adze, a nice looking cape, a emote, ....

 

 

 

And farming is respected alot just cause it takes a while but its like an hr of effort = 900k experience and profit.[/hide]

 

 

 

In other words lets stop judging skill capes by their usefulness and stuff but instead how hard the person worked to get that skillcape even if it was decently easy because a 99 is a 99! Whether it be cooking or fletching or firemaking or slayer or smithing they were all hard!

They aren't all equally hard though, some are harder.

 

 

 

Any 99 cape is nice, and for someone's first one it makes sense they would go for the easiest cape to get.

 

 

 

I am a cape snob though because I find that someone who has 99 cook or fletch wears their cape 24/7 and they tend to be newer to the game.

 

 

 

While I am social in-game I find it irritating to be around the very new players as they drown you with questions. In my experience the cook and fletch cape wearers do this or they have the hugest ego's because so many lower level's compliment them on their cape.

 

 

 

I barely wear my capes.
