Runescapes Rarest 99's (as of November 1, 12:01 am)

[IP_Freely]

Hey, that's a cool/interesting list. Thanks for putting that together :)

 

As often as I hear "nice noob capes" while playing RS, I'm surprised cooking, fletching, and woodcutting aren't numbers 18, 19, and 20...

[Money Wasted]

12.7% for mining and 11.2% for woodcutting...not surprised that there's so much people getting 99s in these skills since the living rock caverns and ivy update

[KISS]

Not suprised a

[Viv]

slayer is the slowest expirience skill but most people that enjoy combat skills dont mind training after 99 in thier melees to up slayer and now slayer has the added benifit of getting charms as a bonus instead of camping for them and smoking kills made slayer better by letting task get blocked and canceled easier. Slayer isnt a skill its a lifestyle

 

Herblore only just recently doubled in price but its insanely fast and no need to play stealing creation for hours either im suprised more monster hunters dont get 99 herb :D

 

Runecrafting is fun as a moneymaker but requires long effort to get the 99 and then thiers lots of combat moneymakers out thier as well.and most people just dont have the time to get runecrafting up to 99...runecrafting is a cult........

 

thieving -not afkable -useless-easy for the avarage skiller but its rare for the first 2 reasons

 

firemaking-boring-boring-boring-expensive to do fast thats why its rare

 

magic - people get it to max thier combat out :D

 

fishing- i dunno why everyone loves this skill but they do

 

mining-this will become really common because now its almost on par with fishing after 80 and thiers many incentives to train it

 

construction/crafting/smithing - they got cheaper because of stealing creation so for the people that want them they are reasonable to get but they arent too useful either...

[Youmu]

Woot, 99 RCing hit the 3k mark. :D

 

By the time I get 99 I would be in the top 5k/6k/7k/maybe even 10k... unless Jagex did something that gives people a HUGE incentive to train it.

[coffeesloth]

I thought there would be more people with 99 fishing. Not only is it good money, but with the rocktails and cavefish, you can really rake in the xp. I am not at all surprised to see the combat skills positioned as they all were. In fact, I was a little surprised to see any other skill in the same area as the combat skills. Well, maybe not fletching, since most people buy the logs and all. I'm going to be slow getting any and all my 99's because I try to spend as little on training as possible. I'm cheap that way.

[M_u_s_ii_X]

I have 99 in the 6th rarest skill. O_O

[J35u5_M4]

Epic fail at Slayer and Agility D:

 

Not surprised about RC though

Stealing shamelessly from Lt_Wolf.... im using his format for the update

[Lose No Hope]

It's alive!!!!!

[Quyneax]

That's nice, farming is so rare? Attack and woodcutting before fletching, too, surprises me.

[Robert_R]

That's nice, farming is so rare? Attack and woodcutting before fletching, too, surprises me.

 

Trees are the best for going for 99. It takes a decent cost as well as a daily dedication to keep at it to 99 which is hard for people to keep at which is why I think its so rare.

Well now you could technically grind farming at livid farm now. But ya it seems easy to just log in for 15 minutes a day but it's so easy to forget about it or just not feel like doing it anymore.... And it's actually a lot more expensive then people think.

[Kaida23]

No one new has gotten 99 Dungeoneering in over a year?!? Wow. Otherwise, those are some big percentage jumps across the board.

[meister14]

This is due to the skill not being introduced before jan 2010...... sorry i put the wrong dates on the chart

[BadBieber]

Didn't Jagex do a bunch of rollbacks dropping the ranks of each cape? Not sure, but I have the 15th rarest skill :D

[Kaida23]

#-o I forgot about that.

[All_Is_Great]

How is construction still second rare? Guess it's just that useless :shades:

 

Not surprised DG has surpassed Cons and RC already, its a fast and fun skill. RC is mostly done by bots methinks :unsure:

[Arthu]

The actual increase of dungeoneering capes is not 0%, rather undefineable %, which would become close to infinite % as soon as that zero would get any fractions.

[meister14]

thank you for pointing that out.. but it wasn't put there for 0%.. just a place filler

[My_Eggs]

Neat, I have the 7th rarest, one level away from the eigth rarest, and have the tenth and twelfth rarest banked. And then of course I have the 99 melees and ranged, but those aren't really anything special.

[Master_Smither]

I didn't realize how much more common 99s are these days...*looks at signature* I feel really old now.

[Jacks0n]

rc = effigyscape D:

[pakalolo_mon]

This thread made me remember something. A few months back I was checking the highscores because a friend of mine was cooking after 99 and telling me how fast he was gaining ranks. If I remember right, over half didn't have their xp 100k past 99 :P.

 

EDIT: Over 180k people have 99 cook. Rank 90k has 13.278m xp. Double your rank in less than 2 hours :P
