Lunar_Drifter Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I was just posting on another topic about the best skill to get 99 in. Granted, any 99 is a 99 and is worthy of praise, but some are less admirable than others. To me, these include the Cooking, Fletching, and to an extent Firemaking. These skills are way to easy to buy, meaning you don't have to work that hard to obtain them; patience and lots of clicking is all you need. Cooking is way too easy nowadays because of the Cook-X option. If Skill Capes existed back in RSC, then a Cooking Cape would be a rarer sight, and very honorable, in my opinion. Fletching, in which prices have been lowered due to autoers, is now easier than ever to buy. Just click a few times and your guy (or gal) fletches away worry free, while you go about doing whatever else. Way too easy, in my opinion. Firemaking; it may have a cool emote ( ), but it's easy to buy as well. It takes a bit more, because you can't really do much multi-tasking whilst firemaking. It requires concentration to keep a steady experience-flow. But still, much too easy to buy. What about the other Capes? Everyone nowadays is going for these 3 capes mainly. I see them way too often. Their emote has lost it's glamour. Wow, you can fletch a bow in 5 seconds flat.. So can thousands of other people. Oh, you can flip a pie? Yep, so can thousands of others. I'd like to see more originality from people nowadays in obtaining a 99 in a skill. Yea, it's still cool to have a 99 in anything, but think of something else besides these I've mentioned. How often do you see a "99 Herblore" thread, or even a "99 Runecrafting" thread? Not often at all. So my question is: What do you think the least admirable Skill Cape would be? Do you think any of them are overrated? Share, elaborate, flame, praise. Whatever. Note: This isn't a rant.. so yea. I have nothing against these people, I'm just saying it's too common nowadays.

spikerkid Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yay, I have the 2 easiest skill capes(cook and fletch). Yet i'm still bugged to see them, so I guess they arn't that common as you say if dozens of people ask me to do it each and everyday. To me skill total capes would be alot better because you have to train a little of every skill instead of an easy one to 99 :pray: Quit RuneScape :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 As for which aren't quite as impressive, since they're just so common, I think we can all agree on cooking and fletching. As for the capes/emotes themselves.. I'd have to go with thieving. I think many of us (especially those of us who have the cape) can agree that the emote is very disappointing. - 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...

Least-Admirable (adj) (leest-ad-mur-a-bull) - being non-honorable; not praise-worthy; having the quality of Multi-Taskery embued in it's fabrics. ex) You are the least-admirable cook I've seen; you steal everyone elses' recipes and claim them for yourself! See? I hope that cleared it up. Fishing and Woodcutting actually take time and dedication to do. You cannot buy those. Think of it this way: There are Supply-Skills,Supplied-Skills, and Independent Skills. Supply Skills are skills that make the resources for the Supplied-Skills. These skills are: Fishing Woodcutting Mining Runecrafting Hunting Supplied Skills are skills that get resources from other skills. These skills are: Smithing Cooking Fletching Firemaking Herblore Crafting Farming Magic Range Independent Skills are skills that you don't use other skills to directly gain experience in that skill. These skills are: Agility Construction Attack Strength Defense Hitpoints Thieving Slayer Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

Lunar_Drifter Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 I was just thinking the same thing, foofoomagoo (nice name btw). Construction is the one skill that you pretty much have to buy. It is semi-admirable to me; the fact that it's only accessable to rich people with lots of cash to spare turns me off of it. Herblore you can supply yourself if you train combat a lot and keep all your herbs. But it is mostly a bought skill. Yet it takes a lot more time and patience to get 99 in Herblore, and is one of the highest ranked stats in my book. Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

Freesia Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I seen cooking and fletching too much until i'm bored of that cape, I do see a couple of woodcutting capes but i am proud to own one of the rarest capes in game: mining.

spooferfish Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Firemaking; it may have a cool emote ( Love ), but it's easy to buy as well. It takes a bit more, because you can't really do much multi-tasking whilst firemaking. It requires concentration to keep a steady experience-flow. But still, much too easy to buy.

Well Lunar_Drifter did mention in his first post that all 99 skills are certainly admirable. Expanding on that, they all take a degree of patience and dedication. But that does not deny the fact that firemaking is one of the easier skills. Yes, it does take a few weeks unless you "no-life it" ( \ ) but it's one of the faster skills in the game and not too expensive. I think this is particularly evident in the increasing number of people who we see setting 99 firemaking goals on various "Goals & Achievements" threads. Personal experience there Tripsis? Haha..

Lunar_Drifter Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Now now, Spoofy-Woofy. Don't get your underwear in a wad. I didn't say actually achieving it was easy. I said buying it was easy. You could easily buy the logs, but it does take time and concentration, as I said. Easy to buy, yet hard to carry it out, seeing as it's pretty uneventful. Tinderbox -> log, move west, tinderbox -> log... You get the point. Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

jackal_55 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 in my opinion the least admirable skill cape would have to be construction. a freind of mine maxed it in 4 days using oak larders, cost him something like 70m ( :shock: ) and its so easy to buy. i think the cooking cape is cool though! well mostly cuz i like the colour : herblore, belive it or not, isn't so easy to buy, for 95k xp it costs about 400k in cash. multiply that by 130 and you get a hellava lotta money! but then again prayer pots probably arent the best method. :wink: nudist hippy vegan elves who inexplicably wear leather.

Lunar_Drifter Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 I hear ya on that one. I've never once bought a single ingredient or herb for herblore. It's only at 29. I've gotten 2 of those levels just from ID'ing herbs while training combat. Herblore is one of the most admirable-yet-buyable skills out there. And construction may be able to be bought, but that cape shows that you've had a lot of spare money to waste, and you could probably do it again if you wanted! Although I don't see why you would want to. So far, the capes I've never seen in-game are: Construction Thieving Crafting Slayer Hunter Smithing I've seen all the other capes, however.

Kthnxbai Hey boy, lets not get started okay? I'd like to keep this thread a presentable, decent thread without any flaming. Now, lets set you straight and settle this. Did I "bash" a cape? No, I explicitly stated that all 99s are admirable. Anyone that has a cape has obviously taken the time and money to achieve it and has most definitely earned it. I'm just asking which ones others think are too over-rated, and stating my opinions. Happy? "kthnxbai" Oh, and sorry for the double post guys. I got caught up in the moment.

But the way I see it, having the patience to plank ~217k logs is very, very admirable. If you just buy planks, however, it is about 120m. While the actual skill itself is very easy and fast, I think we have to look at more than just the xp you get per hour - rather how you got the money to pay for that xp. I think that's the admiral part of construction. And mind you.. In order to get 99 construction in four days, you'd have to play about 16 hours a day :shock: - 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...
