Question: Least-Admirable Skill Cape

[dragoonson]

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes,easy to buy.But if one was to burn normal logs from level one to ninety-nine,I picture over two million logs.Now,I like to do things in a nice,round number so 2,000,000 divided by 25 is about 400,000?Since unlike most skills you can't click on the last and the first one burns up,(You CAN'T,really I've tried)it takes at least a minute per load.may not sound like much,but the money it takes(or time,no one sells normal logs)will be phenomenal.I love wasting time as much as the next guy :arrow: but I tend to like saving my time AND money.So,yes firemaking is admirable :uhh:

[jorus2]

I agree with you about the fletching and cooking capes, but i'm going to have to defend firemaking. Having personally achieved all 3 of these capes, i can tell you that firemaking is no where near as easy as cooking and fletching. Firstly, theres no X, it takes concentration and no multitasking can be done as you pointed out. I think the maximum logs that can be burnt in an hour 1200. Now this may sound like a lot, but thats with maximum concentration, no looking away from the screen, no miss clicks, perfectly accurate.

 

 

 

The other main part of firemaking that makes it hard is something you said to be the easy part of it; it's buyable. Yes you can buy all the logs in 10mins off some merchants and have 99 firemakingf banked, but the difference between cooking/fletching and firemaking is you get nothing back. You make money from fletching and it's possible to almost break even with cooking, but firemaking just drains your cash. So in order for you to be able to "buy" firemaking, you must have the cash in the first place, which adds a lot more time of making the money onto the time the exp takes.

 

 

 

I managed to get fletching around 2 years ago with no more than 2.5mil cash at any time. Cooking i had more cash but lost little, firemaking however, cost a lot more.

[Ouchy]

i personally think that there isnt a least admire able skill. If you get 99 in a skill then horrah for you but there isnt a least admireable skill

[hellbellz]

i personally think that there isnt a least admire able skill. If you get 99 in a skill then horrah for you but there isnt a least admireable skill

For example, what would you like better, Slayer or Cooking? I'd say Cooking would be the least admirable :-X

[Macmaster92]

Well i really think that out of all of those fletchingis the easiest. I maybe see around 5 capes a day. Its just way to easy. How often do you see a thieving, agility, or farming cape? I have never even seen the farming cape.

[ixfd64]

I'm a bit sad to see that level 99 skills aren't so special anymore. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About five years ago, if someone got level 99 in a skill, they would be pretty well known in the community. Their names would be mentioned in fan forums everywhere, and people would make bets on who would get level 99 in a certain skill first. However, today, there's tens of thousands of people with level 99 skills, and they won't stand out much in the RS community. These days, only people like Zezima and N0valyfe get such attentions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have 3 level 99 skills right now, but I certainly can't call myself famous, LOL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, thousands of people getting level 99 cooking, etc, doesn't make it any easier. Those people still deserve to be commended.

[Sky_Assasin9]

Cooking and Fletching are easy enough, I hear. I respect Thieving and Agility and the such, simply because they require mind-numbing amounts of work that cannot be bought.

[Babyshambles]

Cooking and fletching are the least-admirable capes, they are so easy to get i must see around about 10 per day.

[Blue_Eggz]

Cooking - Way to many people have it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fletching - Ugly cape, way to many people have it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strength - Way to many people have it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those 3 in my opinion are the least-admirable

[MtNeraka]

 

 

cooking, firemaking, and fletching are too common, but technically constructiona dn herblore are both buyable but respected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fletching you gain money, cooking cost a couple mil loss, firemaking from level 81 to 99 is 12mil not that much really

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i would really like to see you buy herblore and cons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cons easily breaks 50m

 

 

 

and herblore is very diffcult to get the herbs and selling them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Cough* ~120m *cough* :lol:

my friend who recently got 99 cons said it cost him around 130m... (I didnt know him very well, wed like talk once a week on friends list)

[MtNeraka]

 

buyin logs and lighting.. what respect does that deserve... ur rich..... its a game....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when it's a lot of logs, that's respectable

yah. why dont you actually try fm'img? Then youll find out how hard it is compared to some skills... ie. fletching, cooking, prayer (bought) (most people can do it in 5 days with the required materials)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont see many fm capes walking around? Do you?

It's one of the more popular ones, don't believe me? Even toast has it! No seriously, it's a respectable cape because it requires lots of cash and has NO return however the exp rates for firemaking are just about as

 

 

 

generous as cooking and, even without the make x button it's still about average. I do agree, it's more respectable than fletching and cooking (not prayer, prayer is more expensive) and I do dislike the fact that people just use the excuse of "it can be bought" or stupid arguments of "it's just pixels/clicking/a game" like the one I was responding to. Do you realize that I was acctually arguing do defend firemaking in that quote?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I don't like how you say

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(most people can do it in 5 days with the required materials)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This implies that buying the materials is not important and what acctually counts is the acctual exp gaining. You can get a party hat in a few seconds if you don't count the days, or even months, needed to get the cash. OF COURSE all those days count, it's part of getting the skill! You don't start out with all those materials do you? You have to get them and that takes time, in some cases a lot of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, I don't really need to experience the difficulty of firemaking, I have mastered Construction which costs a lot more than firemaking. You don't see a lot of construction capes walking around because there are less than 100 of them.

[Maddra]

This is an interesting topic, but it is all based on personal opinons, there will be no cut and dried answer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To me, the admirable capes are the ones of the skills that I abhor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agility

 

 

 

Thieving

 

 

 

construction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hate them with a passion! So I admire someone I see wearing that cape, then I cringe thinking I will never get one.. becuase I hate training those skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And construction.. Oh my god! It is so expensive to train that skill. >.< *twitches*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite skills are combat - I love them - so I will eventually get those all it will take is a bit of time doing something I like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the cape I will appreciate the most.. is if I ever (doubtful) get the cape of agililty, theft or construction.

[mrkrabsbe]

the capes i most admire are the minning ,construction,rc,wc,and the cape fore qeasts

[monkeyboo2]

i have seen quiet alot of wc capes out there and wonder how many of them actully did it legit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bneing a mod myself who often alchs at the yews and checks for bots. 99.9% legit.

[monkeyboo2]

Your right, Fletching and Cooking is easy to get... But it does take awhile and you gota have a fair bit a money invested into it. Firemaking would cost millions with no profit, but it is still the fact that they have put a lot of effort into a somewhat usless skill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMO, woodcutting is way to common (probably because i spend most my time woodcutting) but still people have spent hours clicking on a tree, but for a major profit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slayer is a uncommon cape but getting it to 99 is a waste. At lvl 85 your fine, you can get whips. Lvl 90, you can kill a wolf. Nothing further from there, and to operate a slayer ca[e you get 100/99 slayer? Wow helpful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Real achievement capes imo is Quest, Farming, Hunting, Range, Herblore, and I guess crafting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woot HUNTING is mentoied in best achieved capes and craft also which i quite fancy.

[1seck0]

agility and construction lol

[p5hngmeawy19]

the capes i most admire are the minning ,construction,rc,wc,and the cape fore qeasts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm I agree with the quest capes thing. Even though I only have 10 quests left to do, it really takes forever for a person like me to get all the lvls required (a person like me being cheap & bored easily so with no easy methods to make money)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in general I respect all capes just because I would never work that much to achieve lvl 99...it's a game, therefore I'm supposed to enjoy it, and clicking & doing teh same things day after day is not my definition of enjoyment! so gratz to everyone who has a cape!

[Kaphias]

I wouldn't call the Firemaking cape "easy" to get.

 

 

 

I call it the cape of patience. Some 270k clicks to get to 99 if you are burning Willows, which most do.

[gameguy500]

Ummmm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've never seen a cape... EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:ohnoes: :boohoo: :roll: :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS. Im not that much of a noob... Ive been playing for a year...

[p5hngmeawy19]

?Are you F2P?

[firsttsurugi]

Firemaking, since there aren't any real differences between the different flames.

[LeggoMyEggo]

As your talking about cheap easy skills to buy... what about construction? WAY to much money. I know people say "Make chairs, take them away and put them back" Yea thats good I guess? But what about buying all those nails and planks your using. Construction (POH) was ranted about not having it and everyone yelling that they want it on the RS Fourms, but when its time to come out people slowly relize that its a way to get millions of GP out of the game. Though I heard the Constuction Cape is one of the best capes out there... It is one of the stupidest skills...

[A91l1ty]

Cooking and Fletching! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the emote, Thieving!

[monkeyboo2]

naa least admirable must be in order:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

strength

 

 

 

cooking

 

 

 

fletch (ive even got this)

 

 

 

attack

 

 

 

defence

 

 

 

and from then on i cant decide.

 

 

 

maybe smithing and fming cos they can be both bought? but then again son can construct but that requnires serious money, those other too are laughable amounts of money.
