hohto Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hello comrades, With the date of 6th dec Ive finally maxed out. I chose this day as its our Independence Day. Xp wise I would have gotten it a week or two earlier, I was 388xp from it for a week and in the end I slowed down my training to be able to get it on that date. Id also like to mention that Ive gotten 25 99 levels on Hohto. Thats 24 in RS2 and one in RSC, meaning I believe Im one of the few ones who have gotten more than 24 99s on one character. Anyways I was 440th to get maxed overall, so meh. Ive been playing this game for ages and for countless years I didnt even bother thinking about maxed overalls. For the first 3 years or so I could think of having few 90+ skills and a 99 or two. Later on I started to think it would be possible to get a few more. By the years I was gaining levels, sometimes slowly, sometimes a bit faster. Eventually around 9 months ago I realized I was more or less close to being maxed. I had boring skills left, obviously as I had maxed the ok ones, but XP wise it wasnt that distant anymore. Eventually I got to the point where people were seriously asking me when would I max. For ages I said that jan or feb 2010 would be the logical time. I personally believed in that until we got the living minerals cave. I was around 96 mining at that point and I can say it saved me weeks: it was a method I could actually stand to train for more than 30 mins at a time and I could mix it with school work. Anyways, my own hint for people who aim to max is to do what you like and ignore the rest. I personally played when I could, not when it would have been the best from RS point of view. This means I chose work and school over RS. This method isnt the fastest xp wise, but then again, why would you need to be the fastest? My motto was that others do what they can, I do what I want. Because of this I was able to slack by playing on my pure or such, my longtime goal wasnt hurt by that. As for credits or thank yous, I wont mention any names apart from my clan, The Rising. During all these years Ive met too many people to even remember half of them now. Some of those people still play, some dont. Some of those people have been on my friends list forever, some have never been. Because of this Id want to thank everyone out there who has affected to my gameplay in any kind of way; either by being a friend, being an enemy, helped me in anyways or just had some convos with me. I know many people will ask me what will I do next. Before you ask, Ill answer. I will most likely overtrain some skills (especially afkable ones due the fact I have a lot to read and write atm) and train my zerker pure whenever I feel like. Im also more or less sure that well get a new skill soon, meaning I want to be prepared for that on all aspects. Oh and of course you people like pics. Here are some 99s Ive gotten, included with comments. The pics have been arranged in the order I took them, starting from the first one. [hide=pics] Gotten 27.9.2004. My first 99 and for a while I thought it could be my last one. I like mixing goals so I made it my 1500th level too. I had trained to 94 str in classic and in RS2 I trained quite a lot at the axe hut. Gotten 25.12.2004 from a blast on Mikav, my old training mate. A lot of high alching and crumble undead on skeles at edge dungeon, a lot of pkin and a lot of lost hours. I also grabbed quite a few nature runes from ~lvl 40 wildy; I still have a huge number of law runes in RSC because of that lol. In the end I got sick of grabbing and just sold some rares: I had left my bank to RSC when RS2 came. Gotten on 29.6.2005. It was more or less easy as I was concentrating on slayer like you can see. I liked slayer a lot and with the money gotten from it I later on bought quite a few levels. Anyways attack was a logical continue to STR: I was an rsc product and believed in the formula of str > attack > defence. This can also be seen from the pic: with current standards my def is more or less pathetic when compared to my att and str. Again mixed a nice total level to a 99 and this time 27.7.2005. Got most of the xp from the activities mentioned during att and str parts. After those I pretty much only camped at the abyssal demons. Anyways from the current point of view I could have waited with attack and gotten these 2 same time: theres under 1 month difference. 31.10.2005 gotten. Finally got this one too. A lot of abyssal demons and heres the result. Had already a bit overtrained slayer, which finally turned out to be a good thing. Also got 123 combat from this, which I thought would be my last combat level at that point: ectophial was boring and there were no altars. 12.12.2005. Still kept going with combats. I had gotten a nice base from the RSC xp and now it was time for the second 99 magic. Again, a lot of high alching. Boring, but not too unbeatable. 9.5.2006. The first 99 of the year for me and the first non combat too. I managed to get a lot of extremely cheap fish and actually made profit from this skill. Of course, with cook X it was more or less of a joke. I was literally more often drunk than sober when I trained this. Also as you can see from the other skills, I was getting close to becoming a proper skiller. 25.12.2006 for this combat skill. Exactly 2 years earlier I had gotten 99 magic in RSC, now it was time for the other combat skill which allows you to attack from distances. It took me quite a long time to get it as I had joined the army during summer 2006 and was there still during this period of time. I had time to train on holidays but of course it wasnt the only thing I could think of doing. Anyways I did most of my xp at those greaters and made a nice profit from the clues. 9.7.2007 and now were talking about it. Took my first triple 99, which in the end turned out to be my trademark. For fletching, it was more or less the same as cooking; boring, fast and easy. Prayer was boring and fast too, ectoed to like 83-84 and then came the altars: a lot of clicking and loads of wasted money. Farming was in my opinion one of the best skills ever. I spent around 200-300m on it due the fact I just bought magics, palms and such. Anyways I loved it how I could study the same time: log in once every 75th minute to do a herb run and go back to study. 13.1.2008. A year starting with a 99, how great. Also my 2200th level, once again mixing things. I basically had money floading around and smithing seemed like a good skill to train. I basically smelted gold to 98 and when the GE was about to come, I slowed down and waited to see how the prices would go. Well, runite didnt become profitable or anything and addy bars turned easy to get, so I just did addy plates from 98 to 99. 19.7.2008 was the date for another triple. Felt like WC and FM could be mixed in together and didnt really want to wait with summoning. For FM I burnt random logs to like 80-85, then yews to low 90s and got sick. After that I just burnt mages, despite the costs. For WC I could have been seen really often at the barbarian assault willows. Summoning was a rather tricky. I wanted it fast so I did first waterfiends and when the rock lobsters became to the attention, I moved there. Of course it was dirty expensive, but meh, wasnt the first time I used few hundred mils on a skill. 9.10.2008 and the third triple to close the circle. Of course I mixed it to the quest cape (got the last xps to 99 craft from it) and 2300 overall to make it even better. For crafting I just bought black leathers and made bodies, expensive and fast. For fishing, monkfish was my thing. Managed to read quite a few books before that. For slayer I used the shilo slayer master and just used supers, piety and other such methods to make it faster. Slayer was one of my favourite skills as there seemed to be enough variety for my taste. 9.6.2009 and first 99s of the year for me. Decided to mix these two buyables and burn a bit cash. For construction I used mahogany planks and SC hammers, managing to make over 4m xp in one day. For herblore, I just bought unfinished toadflax potions, crushed bird nests and mixed. Few hundred mils gone down the drain again, but meh, at least got some levels without duying to boredom. 8.8.2009 and the last 99 before the big day. Got kinda sick of thieving and decided to go for 99. Pyramid plunder laps were boring but the xp was so fast it was somewhat ok. Didnt exactly like the skill, but with that speed it didnt manage to make me that sick. And 6.12.2009 for maxed overall. Sorry for the unedited pictures, just got the levels and couldnt be bothered to edit away the recording program.[/hide] I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Onneksi olkoon ja hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! Congratsulations, unbelieavable achievement. Been checking your progress every once in a while for past many years, and you've really gone far. Good job on that 99 magic on rsc too, great one. Maxing skill in rsc was very hard thing to do (all I ever managed to get was 80+ skills there), even though pretty much everyone was using bots. By the way, I love the signature of yours. Gives me so patriotic feelings especially since it's our independence day here. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwasha Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I don't reply to most topics, but this one I will. Very nice achievment. It wasn't just another thread that showed one 99 and "Hey, cool, maxed total." the story behind it all was great. I just can't imagine how much money you needed for all that. And also, when you get 85 slayer, what prices were whips? I saw that in your pictures you went from a noob, to a really rich kid, so I'm going to assume you were one of the first few people to 85 slayer, but I don't know. 10/10 for sure, and how many hours have you played so far?
