Freakyhair Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Tongiht, while playing Runescape, I was wondering, what skill is least used by players? Well I didn't, but that's what this investigation is about. I don't know if it's been done before, to be honest I don't care. But I wanted to know which skill was most uncommon and therefore, in my eyes, most unique. Well to test this out I decided to find out which skill was the least used and least common skill to have 99 in. I will find out what level you will need to be ranked 10 000th in that skill, this will show how high the top 10 000th players are in that skill. This gives an indication of the number of use of the skill. I will also found out how many level 99 players in skill that there are today. Skill____Level In Highscores at Rank 10 0000_____Ammount of Players With 99 Attack____________________ 92____________________ 4251 Strength____________________ 93____________________ 4462 Defence____________________ 90____________________ 2911 Hitpoints____________________ 93____________________ 3925 Magic____________________ 89**__________________ 962 ** Ranged____________________ 93** __________________ 1712 ** Prayer____________________ 69____________________ 100 Cooking____________________ 88____________________ 2697 Woodcut____________________ 89____________________ 1113 Fletching____________________ 92____________________ 3191 Fishing____________________ 85____________________ 396 Firemaking____________________ 75____________________ 325 Crafting ____________________ 73 ____________________ 72 Smithing____________________ 75____________________ 246 Mining____________________ 84 ____________________ 176 Herlore___________________ 68*____________________ 41 * Agility____________________ 70*____________________52* Thieving____________________ 73 ____________________ 206 Slayer____________________ 75***__________________51 *** Farming____________________ 62 ****___________________ 33**** Runecraft____________________ 67 *****________________46***** * These both have a low number of people, as these were both not introduced with rs2 i predict that these numbers will slow down to be the two lowest ammount of people with 99. ** These skills have a reasonabally high ammount of players hgih in the skills. However, it appears that these two skills are not often maxed when in comparrison with the ammount of people above the levels at 10 000. *** I predict that slayer will be used alot more frequently than farming or runescrafting, this is already starting to be shown in the figures. **** This skill doesn't have seemed to taken off so well. ***** Runescrafting appears to be a relatively uncommon level, it is sometimes still seen as a new skill, but that will soo be over. I have found out that the current most unique 99 skill is farming, which is probaly the msot obvioous result ever =\. Yeah, well what do ya think? Anything to add?

Mirror Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well one thing is that alot of players are f2p. They do not have acess to those many member skills. That is why there are less in those skills. The reason why with range and mage being so low is that you can train melee almost anywhere so it is alot easier to get that higher compared to those two. Also there are f2p'ers that factor that too. Too many factors to find out the least used skill with ranking. Just take a random poll for better results. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

bobby1167 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I would say..Farming is the least used? Not many people like it so they don't do it, more people are starting it like it though,they'll find something bad to say about Construction\capentry too, just the way it works They complained about slayer and look at it now :o All Quests completed99 Thieving achieved on January 10th, 200899 Defense achieved on August 3rd, 200885 Slayer achieved on July 31st, 20086 Dragon boot drops, 14 Whip drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runescape_rocks Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Most of the skills with less people with 99 are p2p, and skills like herblore take a long to level up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordwarior Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 another reason that this may be off, is that it depends on when skills come out. some skills haven't been out long enough to get enough 99's as skills thats been out a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam007 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The use of a skill isn't related to how many people have 99 in it. A skill like firemaking is relativlely easy to buy yourself 99 in, but that doesn't mean it's actually used much. Runecrafting is used a lot more than it seems even if a lot of people don't have level 99 rc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugafan_2009 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 At level 30, my farming was ranked 75,000. Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said, Fletchig is a lot easier to get up then farming or rcing, that's why I have 77 fletch and 51 runecrafting, because I can power fletch sitting at a bank the whole day instead of having to run all ofer to make runes :P Edit: 52 rcing Droolman's item Guide | My RuneScape pictures | My barrows videos, with download link!Free Image Hosting! | Free File Hosting!

123Yourgone Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Look at smithing and crafting, then look at the fact that these 2 skills have been in the game since the first day over 5 years ago, enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Runecraft isnt the least used, it is just hard to gain levels in..it is widely used around levels 44-60. But the least used skill in my opinion is probably thieving, because people dont know its full potentiol, i would say the same for farming. De_Pk - Level 117 - Banned September 30th '06.

weasel Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 it's not so much not used as hard to get up, for example someone could get up 3 different skills to 99 if they were easy before one person could get 99 in a very very very very hard skill... -= weasel =- rsname: moosewalker ~ top 10000 player :Dfull qp - always willing to chat add me...
