First one seems like it takes forever because you don't have any 99s and you want it really badly. Then they get easier for a while. But after that, you get to the harder skills to level and it seems longer.

no. to me, it depends on the content of that 99. wcing was such a pain to me that it felt like i couldn't get anymore 99s. but then i got 99 attack cooking, fletching...and then after magic...it stopped for awhile because 99 con was about 18 months later, since 99 con was also hard to get.

well, seeing as i got fishing and cooking both at the same time, and those are the only 99s i have, i really dont have that much to say if the first 99 was easier or not compared to the seccond. But i do have to say that after i got 99 fishing and seeing how long it too, it actually makes training other stats of mine appear to not take as long to do compared to how i felt before i got 99 fishing. I really hope that makes sense #-o
