Dead_Dude4 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Skills are pointless. You will never make as much money chopping a tree as you would merchanting, or killing a boss monster. IF one person did a skill for x ammount of time, and then killed boss monsters like kq, dag kings, etc or even barrowed for the same ammount of time. You would always come out on top with the non skill. You only need levels in useless skills for quests and to do stuff that you just dont want to shell out a few gold to get done 10x faster. Spend an hour fishing 200 shark or spend an hour making like 500k an hour and just buying 200.. hmmm i wonder. or just mine rune and get 600k a hour? Seriously... if you make 500k a hour merchanting, then I'm beating you with my skills :-k I prefer skilling. Simply because it's stable and i gain a x amount of cash no matter what I do, unlike merchanting. And I can't stand the idea that ppl are hording cash and gaining no xp at all while I'm gaining more (or somewhat close) than them by skilling AND getting xp at the same time =D> The game is about the levels after all, not the cash... There is no quest that requires millions of gp's to do.. Only quests which require skills :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctu Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Skills of course, i dont see the point of merchanting. Wheres the fun? when i m lvling my skills and getting some money also its fine by me at least i have some fun (this is the point of playing or not?) Check out my blog do get all skills 85+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAHK Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Skills, skills, skills. The point of gathering money for me is to raise skills. The cash from some skilling is about the same as the cash from most merchanting so I prefer the bonus in xp form. The only reason I trade in rares is to keep my cash stable while I am out raising skills. PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.Fire Cape - 04/29/06 Lvl 104RAHK's Pro PC Gear and Guide(clickable) Tired of hack and slash? FPSers getting old?

SwreeTak Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I'm trying to be going both for the money and the skills at the same time, but mostly of the time I think I go for the money :) . Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Every coin I spend goes into skills now, hell if you get hacked and all you've gained all these years is money and rares what will you have when you get your account back? Nothing! But with skills you can just grab the tool of your trade and start working again. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powman3 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 me, i like both, skills earn you money, and money can earn you more money, but as said on the first page no hacker can take away skills i was merching veracs last week and got to 5.5m, but i fsished 800 lobsters to get money to repair the barrows \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iantiger Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I've been playing for 4 and a half years and until a few days ago my total cash stood at 170k, with not very many valuable items to add to the value of my bank, certainly I would have had a bank of no more value than a million. I think that speaks for itself that I value skills more than making money. But skills can't buy the full infinity which I so desperately want right now - so I'm putting all my efforts into some nat crafting for the time being so I can earn a bit of the green stuff and get me something decent to wear! ~Ian Retired Tip It Moderator | Zybez Radio DJ - Listen Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdog Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I enjoy skills not just because of the benefits of high levels, but because of the good conversation that comes from training skills. This can be anything from combat to farming. It's fun to pass the time by talking with other (mature, coherent) players while woodcutting, fishing, etc. ~Member of Legends' Guild~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 skills... no hacker can take that away. they could get you banned though... hmmm i think i like both the same, cause skills make you money and money gets you skills, but im favouring skills Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkbullet3 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I stink at merchanting, even though it sounds easy (which probably isn't) because it's just "buy low, sell high." Therefore, I chose skills. But in some cases, money is what feeds the skills... it was a tough decision, but I still chose skills. (Skeewz.) ^ Blog.

redfire50000 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 "Money can go, but skills are forever." Yeah, I go for skills. It's just boring to get nothing but money...and more money... and more money... So I get money while I get skills up, and it's always different.

aubrey Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow this is a paradox :-w We make money to raise our skills or We raise our skills to make money :ohnoes: I put skills due to my status of being poor but decent skills... But @ other times i may have more money then necessary :anxious:. Common sense isn't common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazizing333 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 well, i do both: i make money to train my skills and i train my skills to make money but my skills r my top priority, cauz then other players will respect u more so they're more likely to trade u, so u make more money! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharane Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wealth is nice and all, but I'd rather be able to be self-reliant and independant in the big picture. Skills.
