Guitarted7 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i just found an interested find in highscores. I guess this is because of the new capes. Now heres the discussion. Did you rush to 99 get to get a 99 skill cape? and What's going to be the next crowning achievement of runescape. besides 200 mil xp Click here to see my goals and achievements thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamgod316 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 It's pretty strange to not have any of the hundreds of thousands of players to not be lvl-98. I guess all the lvl-98's splurged for the cape. - Affliction - 100 Combat - 9/15/06Merchant / Skiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddfaery2 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 That's pretty strange but not entirely a surprise. It's the newest and most expensive skill in the game. Even if one took the time to cut all their own logs and made them into planks themselves, it would cost 54m to get level 99 using oak... and that's not including the price of using a servant, which would bring it over 61m. Not many players have that kind of extra gp lying around, and many who do won't want to blow it on construction ;) Proud to have gotten 1800 skill total before access to fishing guild Why make a house when you can rob one?

xvillexvalox Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 For some reason construction seems to have alot of gaps in the highscores, what other skill can you see 5 levels in one page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. well its new, expensive and completely for looks after certain lvls, lvl 55 being perhaps the most useful level then 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 People like Zezima have gone above and beyond what one human should accomplish in a game. Henceforth our collective dreams of ever making Runescape history have been pretty much anulled. The capes, on the positive side, have given players more courage to push their skill(s) above and beyond the staggeringly slow early 90s, with a real goal to push for. On the negative...they've given players with one or more 99 skills a (less than required) ego boost. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

Rebdragon Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 This thread has surprised me in two ways (congrats): One: It is probably the first Hiscores thread I've seen in a while (other than suggestion threads) that is actually worthy of not being locked; every other one has been about some random trivial glitch, or of course the annoying "Zezima vs. N0[va]lyfe" race that for some odd reason people actually care about it... Two: Jesus Christ. That's a frikin' 3 million experience gap in the hiscores. [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

eveau6013 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm guessing it's because the only reason, really, to go above level 96 (or, more recently, 93) is for the achievement of 99. Note that there's only two 97s, who most likely only got that level after the cape update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That's pretty strange but not entirely a surprise. It's the newest and most expensive skill in the game. Even if one took the time to cut all their own logs and made them into planks themselves, it would cost 54m to get level 99 using oak... and that's not including the price of using a servant, which would bring it over 61m. Not many players have that kind of extra gp lying around, and many who do won't want to blow it on construction ;) It costs around 100m or so assuming you don't plank your own logs. There are probably many gaps because anyone who gets over level 93 (at level 93 you can make everything) is probably aiming for 99 anyway. And once they get to 98, they're so close to 99 anyway that they're not even motivated to stop. Not many people have a high construction level, so I'd say that many of the people who already have 97 or 98 can afford the rest of the level and are pretty anxious to get it. Especially with the release of the capes of achievement. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol000999 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The main prob with construction it's expensive when it came out it was massacare for the econmy. Loads of money is lost due to that stupid sawmill guy >_<. So it isn't the easiest skill to get 98s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeLikesPizza Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It must be that when your are so close to 99 then your not gonna stop train until you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeader Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Is this worth the server it's filed on? HAHA. Really, right ok, you've found something funny? Why not add it to your sig?

Capone_Sabre Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Doesn't surprise me at all. As someone said earlier you can make everything at 93, so raising it beyond that is just for show/skill total. If you are going to spend all that money you might as well just go straight for 99. Construction is pretty fast xp too.. Capone Sabre since April 2001.99 Attack, Defence, Strength and Hitpoints Achieved January 2005. When it still meant something.

darkblade986 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That is kind of an interesting find... But as everyone has said, once you get lv98, you're probably gonna go straight for 99.
