Drasyka Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Good read, although a little short. Also, I too try to keep my stats balanced (as well as I can) and I like getting my own things rather than buying them, that way I'm pretty much always raising a stat plus it gives a better sense of achievement. (Guthix is ftw, by the way 8-) ) Every time you click this you save a cow. Moo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 That was a weird article; but I liked the subject. I got very balanced stats/skills, compared to some people who only like a few things. It's too bad balanced characters never get any credit for anything, since ur in between everything. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35u5_M4 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 well no offesnse but im a saradomin supporter i was just wondering, whats the saradomin way of levelling? thanks good question, iI'd like to know it too, and also the zamorak way... Hmm If you both read my post at the page 2 of this topic you will find out that the saradomin way to train is being a skiller and the zamorak is being a pker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantail Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 lol it funny i'm going for 99 fire making "blazing" my way to it and after reading this it fuels me even more...why do you ask two reasons guthix is not my type of god I'd take power over balance (w00t go zammy :twisted:) and any way i think and don't take me the wrong way that it does not matter if your skills are in the same range i meen as long as i have fun doing what i do i don't care what others think \ Well it was a worth wile read i'll give it that but my only question is this why does it matter what your skill are in the game? like i said aslong as we all enjoy it, it should not matter.. ~Loot EDIT: and i belive that these are they ways the god are broken down into by you levs zammy: numbers ever wich way some low and some high i believe most of his folowers have more high levs then low one's guthix is as the editor said is balanced from only about 20 lev apart and finnaly sara: wich i belive is mostly [wagon] skills atleast over 30 and the rest high like zammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Now, talking about Guthix I don't think we should classify peoples religion in RuneScape based on their levels but on the way they act: Let's say there are 2 people and the one has just tricked the other and you see it, how would you act? I think you would act like these things if you support: Saradomin - Help the tricked guy by giving him a replacement for the thing he lost. Guthix - Don't really care because it's not your problem, beside it's survival of the fittest. Zamorak - You don't like someone being more evil than you so you decide to trick both of them. Actually, for Saradomin, we're more the type that are too smart to get had by beggars, but if we do see someone getting tricked, we try to stop it before it finishes. If the person has already been tricked, we'll teach them how not to get had the next time. But rarely, if ever, do we just hand out stuff. We're NOT some kind of "Beggar Handout Trays"... :shame: ~Mr. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan2012 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i thought it was a good read, but unfortunately quite toothless - i found myself at the end of it before i actually realised what the post was about, it didn't really hit you and make you think, at the same time it didn't really spark anything really worth debating, which to me is the main point of a topic. although, i do agree with what the author had said, for a long time i strived to raise all of my levels to around the same (and if you see my high scores you will see most of my levels are 60-70) but i do like "breaking away" and making one skill higher than the rest. why keep one skill at level 70 as it's much higher than the others if it is something you enjoy doing? my runecrafting was long lagging behind all of my other levels until Tears of Guthix, now it is a skill i enjoy doing, whereas herblore (which started as a skill i enjoyed) is now tedious. i would much rather spend the hour gaining 2k herblore exp gaining 30k firemaking experience. I have been brought into the monotony of gaining a skill cape, albeit unintentionally. it may be boring at times, but i see that as a good achievement in itself, whether i buy my logs or cut them (i cut 40%-50% of the logs i use for fletching). but having said that, my next challenge is not to get a skill cape, that is my hobby, my main challenge is to get my lowest level to 65 (and boy is that going to be challenge). EDIT: just read the other posts regarding religion - how can you have a runescape religion? does that mean you only pray at chaos altars if you are a zammy follower? i personally own all three god books and i have no allegiance to one or the other - the altar in my house is currently zammy until i can get high enough to change it to Bob the Cat, but saying one god is better than the other makes no difference. Look at Castle Wars for example - do Sara followers only ever go in the sara portal? what happens if it is full, do you not play or do you rick your religion and fight for the opposition? At the end of the day you don't get anything worthwhile from following one god or another. hmm... runescape atheist :shock: RSN: d35h1_5k4t3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I liked the article a lot, probably because I recognised myself in what Ard wrote. It was interesting to see these kind of players linked to Guthix - I had never before considered that tears help you in maintaining the Guthan Balance. Tasting all aspects of the game would be typical of the Guthix kind of player. Non-exclusive, all-round and wise :wink: My stats aren't quite as balanced as Ard's, but I do try to train combat and my other skills equally. Except for runecrafting, I just ignore the existence of that skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The reason I don't balance my skills is, not because I'm a pure or anything, but to make good money on certain skills, they have to be quite a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot919 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 My highest skill is strength at 80. My lowest skills are construction, hunting, and herblore at level 1. I guess I'm pretty balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodey Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I don't "strive" to balance. My primary goal is Slayer (currently lvl 76), and I'm also trying to finish all the quests. Those two goals make for a lot of balance on their own. Until a quest requires firemaking above 52 or until all my other lvls are 99, I will not burn another log. I still haven't figured out the firemaking skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siero Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I dont really follow balance... i have a rather chaotic levelling with my highest lvl at 83 and my lowest at 33 so maybe the editor likes to have balance but i wont train herblore from lvl 33 to 83! herblore as a lowest lvl... constructions mine. I have many levels above 70, and somehow my combat skills go above 80. But my highest lvl is 84 and lowest is 15, you can tell i don't like construction (lvl 15). Yes, i'm a hobo. My discription of myself is:2 eyes and legsI only have 1 arm.I have a nose.I have hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XavierCrossRose Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 It would be bad for someone who just Joined the game to follow this. Since they would keep all their Skills at Level one.

CapitanNeus Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Dear Ard_Choille: Ive been playing RS for a year now and I enjoy it more everyday. I too play as a balanced skiller/combat. I love to plan what I want to do and combine all the different skills I need to make it happen. I too play Tears of Guthrix to keep my weakest skill close to the rest. Now I have all of them above 50. I like the article and I discrept with the people that didnt. I beleave some of them should think twice before posting/flaming IMHO. Hope to find u online sometime as we follow the path of Guthrix!! Capitan Neus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightpolice Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Great topic. I semi-follow it. I focused mainly on combat for a while, and never touched hunter or construction much, runescrafting is as boring as it gets. But the skills I like, i try to keep even. Or at least at a useful level.

flame1148 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 it was ok, i didnt think this article was that great, the way he purposely kept his magic down by only alcing and teleporting makes little sense to me. Balance to me is good in that its not good to have a few stats very low because you dont like them, but you should never limit yourself from going upwards, thats why i have all my stats 60+ but my highest skill is 94 magic (second is 93 attack) and currently working on 99 magic, i see no reason to hold myself back from that in order to try and keep my stats more even 23 to 0 castle wars game - http://flame1148.googlepages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame1148 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 and i really consider non-combats and combat stats to be different categorys, because i enjoy my high combat (111) at castle wars and other minigames, and i dont mind skilling, but i would never dream of getting all my noncombats up in the 90s with my combats, but yes there is a place for balance in each of the 2 categorys 23 to 0 castle wars game - http://flame1148.googlepages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostrowidzki1 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ok...I'm just gonna come out and say it... This method makes the game a chore. When I skill, I "buy" my skills because I have 99 runecrafting. Balance never makes you rich, if anything it makes you slow down significantly. As for slayer, I'm lvl 82 but i stopped - no money involved. I only raise skills that make a lot of money or that are super expensive to raise. My goal is to be able to do everything (make full rune along with everything else) - Praise Zamorak! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
