200M in all Skills

[Yossarian]

I like reading about the hypotheticals of reaching 200m in all skills, but I think it's absolutely grotesque how the people who have set out to actually do it are being cheered on. I would enjoy reading a thread about grinding down a mountain with a toothbrush, but find it immoral to encourage people venturing to do so. Runescaping and mountainbrushing are only different in that the former is a multi-player game. People might say they do it for fun, but how many people would get 200m in a skill if this was single-player? Nobody. I would argue that beyond level 60, Runescape is entirely (and ingeniously) fed by the acknowledgment of fellow players - "Wow! Nice cape!" - Gaining experience in Runescape is like amassing huge quantities of a currency that cannot be used anywhere in the world, save as a quick-fix dose of recognition in a small online world. I can't help being deeply fascinated by the people who are dedicating their lives to this, but I feel terrible for having ever said things that might feed their addiction.

 

To quote the mighty Zarfot: "I think that some people might be disappointed that I'm giving up on 200m all skills even though it was never actually was my goal and I never expected to get it anyway since it takes like over 9000 gigayears of spam-clicking on pixelated fishing spots and logs" He came to his senses and so can we all (well, maybe not the man from a thousand lakes, so donate stuff so he can get it over-with)

 

Elias should be grateful no one is talking about him. Hopefully it will give him less motivation.

I recently reformed my Agility clan into a skilling clan devoted to efficiency and training various skills past 99. Suomi, Gemeos2, and Foot are already in it and I felt that I should give some of you guys the opportunity to join since we already form our own community here. Our recruitment thread on the RSOF is located at [qfc]93-94-674-62645381[/qfc].

 

Oh... and me?

Update of the top 15

 

1. Allar (previously Skiller - Aasiwat) : 2,64B xp (+17M). Allar is training his lower skills these days focusing on smithing and herblore. Keeping a pace that will make him stay at the top for the next couple weeks/months, he's climbing the ranks of the 50M skills on the milestones chart lately. even though he's not into 200M skills, he's still training farming, his probable next 200M skill. Coming milestones: 100M summoning

2. Jdelacroix : 2,52Bxp (+17M). Not gaining on Allar anymore, he should lose a rank to Telmomarques in the coming weeks. Still training the same set of skills (thieving, dungeon, slayer and farming), Jd also trined some smithing last week and he will get his 8th skill at 200M in about 3 weeks with dungeon. Coming milestones : 200M thieving and 200M dungeon (8th and 9th skill)

3. Telmomarques : 2,51B xp (+22M). About to claim back his rank 1 on the highscore, Telmo is still training herblore and hunter. Even though his pace has slowed lately (XPwise...), he's still on pace to catch up to Allar later in the year. He also became the 3rdplayer to reach the mystical "half-way" mark with 2,5B xp last week. Coming milestones : 100M ranged

4. Drumgun : 2,45B xp (+8M). Gone fishing, fletching and even dungeoneering, Drumgun is keeping the pace to maintain his title of king of the 200M skills. Coming milestones : 200M WC and 200M fletch (10th and 11th skill)

5. Elvis : 2,43B xp (+18M). Will most likely get thrown out of the top 5 next week, only to get back in in 2-3 weeks, Elvis is still training slayer as well as some herblore these days. He's about to reach Zarfot for most skills over 50M in about 10 weeks. Coming milestones : 100M farming and 200M attack (7th skill)

6. Elias : 2,42B xp (+57M). Going all out on the fastest skills lately, Elias is gaining ground on every player from the top 5. He reached 2,4B xp last week as well as 100M herblore for his 9th skill over 100M. Definitely seen as one of the top contender these days, the rumor has him ging back to slayer pretty soon. Coming milestones : 100M attack

7. Zarfot 2,35B xp. Inactive

8. Tezz : 2,28B xp (+36M). Even though he lost ground to elias in the last weeks, Tezz has been going at a very high pace training dungeon, FM and fletching. He should reach his 8th skill at 200M next week with dungeon. Coming milestones : 2,3B xp, 100M ranged and 200M dungeon (8th skill).

9. SU O M I : 2,25B xp (+26M). Still very consistent and still training slayer, Suomi is locked in rank 9 for the next several weeks. He's closin in on multiple skills over 50M which should help him climb some ranks on the milestones chart, stay tuned!. Coming milestones : 100M WC

10. Paperbag : 2,11B xp (+10M). Still training farming, Paperbag reached 2,1B xp and 99 in all skills last week before moving to thieving. Expect high XP gains in the coming wees now that he has moved to faster skill (for him at least). Coming milestones : 150M farming

11. Gertjaars : 2,02B xp. Inactive.

12. Kingduffy : 1,97B xp (+11M). A slower week for Mr. variety, Kingduffy mostly trained farming and mgic last week (livid farm most likely). Expect him to max out and rejoin the frontpage in a short while and to get a couple more skills over 50M in the coming months. Coming milestones : 100M WC

13. Green098 : 1,87B xp (+7M). She gained a rank from inactive Lan last week training mostly magic and farming, but she will most likely get passed by 8 No Lifer in te next 2 weeks. Can she pass Gertjaars before the next 2 players enter the top 15? . Coming milestones : 1,9B xp and 200M ranged (6th skill)

14. Lan : 1,87B xp. Inactive

15. 8 No Lifer (previously Skiller 703) : 1,86B xp (+9M). After missing the cut last week, 8 N0 Lifer entered the top 15 and also reached 200M fletching for his 5th skill at 200M. It looks like he's hunting for effigies the days too. Coming milestones : nothing in sight!

 

A little side note of Erw J who left the top 15 last week:

Inactive since last october, Erw J used to be in the top 5 a year ago and was at some point one of the player with the most skills at 100M. His rankings in HP, STR and summoning make him a very impressive retired player and unless Jagex lifts the 200M cap, a legend forever.

Leet much? Obviously you wouldn't have gotten that if you didn't think it was cool or if other people didn't think it was cool.

Get wrecked.

So Elias is making solid progress, and I saw many people say he is underrated so I looked up his stats, he has many around the 60-70m mark as I said, I think he is a strong contender, the only thing being that his lowest skills are the slower skills, it's too bad he doesn't post here, that's probably why no one talks about him...

 

Elias should be grateful no one is talking about him. Hopefully it will give him less motivation.

 

You guys are going to make him post if you keep saying stuff like that....

Logic is a [bleep] huh? You are in hostile territory my friend. I suggest you take your projectivism elsewhere.

 

Anyways, Langer I wait the top 15 after that tease of an edit.

[homer205]

update of the top 15....editing...

Tease

 

Impressive gains as usual. I'm hoping Elias does work on slayer as that way we can get a comparison between him and S U O M I. Also good to see you've gotten 99 in dungeoneering Paperbag.

[Ryannator]

it definately isn't impossible but highly inprobable.

[iamsomebody1]

I agree it's ridiculous that some people are actually playing a game for 18+ hours daily for years on end, and this thread is only feeding what they truly want.

[langer]

Here's a question to the haters...

 

How many hours a day do you guys consider adequate? what's the XP floor for someone to become inadequate? Total lvl? Anyway this is, like everytime this discussion happens, way off-topic...

Argumentum ad hominem (tu quoque) much?

He even said: 'he came to his senses' when talking about Zarfot, so we can say that Yossarian came to his senses too, like you will someday.

[langer]

A slow week for a top player is a figure of speech though. We all know it means they gain less XP than what they usually do.

[dirkadirka98]

kind of random, but looking at the last page about the 13,333,337 exp or w.e made me think of something.

 

look on the highscores of "x helchild x"

 

kinda cool imo.

Also, "Haha XP OCD" He has a frontpage rank too :o

[Thai_tong]

I mean why even care if they're "destroying" their lives? Doesn't affect you in any way XD

'Lordreverse" was the first to successfully do so. After which others took over. The ones you mentioned have cooler lvl's though....

On that train of thought, does anyone here know if "Renez" is still playing? I always thought his account was awesome.

 

OT: Thanks for all the discussion (by those who actually use the thread for what it's supposed to be for), I really enjoy reading about the progress of these players, SUOMI, Elias, and Tezz because of how aggressivey they gain exp no matter what skill they're training, and also Aasiwat for his attitude toward the game. Kingduffy is also a nice account to watch because of the balance between skills. I'd like to see Season on this list someday, she's probably the nicest high-leveled person I've had the privileged to speak with, but I'm not sure she gains fast enough exp to maintain a spot.

Anyway, keep the updates coming, Langer.

[Frommmars]

And Elias has three 200m skills ranked at... 47! Fletching, cooking and dungeoneering. Coincidence? I think not.

 

It is coincidence. For Elias for example his cook rank lost at least 2 spots due to people being banned (2 in the top 20, including Uloveme). I know this because I too got rank 18 cook, but was rank 20 for the longest of time when I maxed cooking...

 

So he couldn't have possible planned his rank 47 cook and therefore fletch and dung. It is pure coincidence. I think the same goes for suomi and magnus (who tried for a two digit top 100 spot I guess).

According to runetrack he(she) is still gaining xp.

[dirkadirka98]

Does anyone know why n0valyfe kinda fell off the grid? Did he quit? Because his summoning and hunter aren't trained at all, but his dungeoneering is, which I assume was just to try it out.

negative or positive effect*

Notice how he was entirely sure it wouldn't effect you

 

Just knowing that people are spending their lives this way effects me
