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

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?)

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.

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 :) .

Money..

 

 

 

 

 

Money is:

 

 

 

Fun

 

+

 

Money = Good Skills

 

 

 

Ex. If u have 100m, u buy Alot of raw lobs = high cooking..

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.

 

:

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 \

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!

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.

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

I guess you guys know what I chose :thumbsup:

I have NEVER heard of a lvl 3 kqing, going to dag kings, or barrows.

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.)

"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.

skills all the way. you have players with 20mil. with 20 mil i would boost up some skills like crazy :lol:

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:.

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:

Wealth is nice and all, but I'd rather be able to be self-reliant and independant in the big picture. Skills.

skills 8-)

Abbys nature!! Sell them for 350ea!

Skills. Money comes and goes but xp stays with you forever. Also, with training most skills you gain money while you're doing it.

im much rather have 20mill on a level 3 then 80 combat and 50k..

i go for money then spend it on skills

for almost 2 years i was only working on skills, but now im working on money cause i must be the only lvl 100+ with less than 10m :oops:

No amount of money can measure up to having all 99s. Nuff said.
