Use Youtube to get slight idea what is it about. For larger picture and so on, use Filefront to dl the 48mb file. Managed to squeeze it from over 200mb to under 50mb and it's still watchable, even tho not the best qualify video there has been.

Special thanks to Silent Shott for doing some editing there.

i wish i was the person hittin all those lvls then

love ur farm level the most. :XD:

Gratz on 99 farming and prayer they are the best capes 8-), which skill would you be doing next.

P.s i left out fletching because in your video you said its noob :XD:

Yea 99 fletch is rubbish, sorry for everyone with it :P Don't give much credit for it or 99 cooking.

Like I said, I'll go for 2100 total, probably 90 agility and some random stuff like that. Don't think I'll aim for a new 99 any time soon.

Oh well, Zebra can't get out of its stripes. Been farming some of the herb seeds I got left (not too many anymore) even tho I said I won't do farming for few weeks. Maybe passive farming is good for me, my ranks and also to my bank :P

Lately been doing a bit skills. Currently 175k from 82 agility, got 75 hunt earlier today and been doing mining+superheating for my higher lvl ores. 91 mining isn't actually even too far.

congratulations hohto my luv

<3

Very nice!!! :thumbsup:

I think you sold me a magic root like a year ago. :oops:

99 farm is something to be proud of.

Emote plz :anxious:

Yea I did sell. Wanna buy more? :mrgreen:

Woot gratz for 99 farming, fletching and prayer!!! Hohto is leet <3333333

Congratulations!

Hmm, what do I do wrong :o?

I got 5 Spirit Seeds.

Either too much kingdom or woodcutting :P

gratz on ur levs, i will buy one of ur magic roots

As many of you know, I set myself a goal of 99 farming ages ago. During that goal I saw how I could multiply the glory of it and take 99 prayer and fletching same time. At this date (9.7.2007) I've finally reached that goal.

Few said it was lunatic goal, some believed in me and many didn't care. However I've said it earlier and I'll say it again: others can do what they can, I do what I want. If I really want something somewhere, I take it at any cost. I spent years on these skills, burnt hundreds of millions of gp and here is the price.

I was asked to host a party for these babies, many friends told me to invite them when I get these and so on. Anyways I wanted to do these just like I did my other 99s: alone. I got no intend to waste anyone's time by inviting them to see something that has already been done in RS and if I invited one friend who wanted to come, I should have invited everyone who wanted.

Of course I got something else to share with you than this lazy story. I got few pictures down here and a video comes when I'm done with editing it and have succesfully hosted it to both my own host (for better qualify) and to Youtube.

At this point many are wondering what will I do next. 2100 Total is something I will take, that's for sure. I was first about to take it from the last of these 3, but in the end abandoned the idea of that. I've also had 80 construction banked for ages but for some reason could have motivated myself to get it. Also 90 agility would be great: could train it with friends who like agility, it would help other skills and I'd get 10 more or less easily levels from it. Dragon large is also something I will get: 352 miths killed so far without it and I'm ready to go even to 3520 if it takes that many. I want the helmet and I want it from that animal, no matter at what cost.

Jumped up only 36 ranks in overall there.

First time ever I post publicly this kinds of thread, but whatever. Anyways I'm going to 99 farm for one reason: I like farming. It could be profitable if I did herbs only, but I'm going to do a lot of powertraining with fast, yet expensive, seeds such as magics, palms and calquats.

I'm going to use high lvl herb seeds, magic seeds, calquat seeds, palm seeds, watermelon seeds and some random seeds I get from random places. My dream is to get a spirit seed before I hit 99 and then take the final xp's from it.

Pictures:

Starting pic taken some minutes before this was posted. I will hit 91 later tonight so prepare for a new pic.

Promised to get it last night, but had problems with my ISP. Anyways here it is. Oh well better to get it late than never.

EFE was the theme of this level: Easy, fun and expensive. Kinda ironic how well the last tree round showed it; would have gotten this level last night if 2 magics out of 5 wouldn't have died. Oh well can't always be lucky.

93:

Pic forgotten, level gotten 1.4.2007. This was a total opposite to 92. It was slow, painful and profitable. I only grew trees if I got them from nests, saved the few watermelon seeds I got and so on. At the moment I got herbs worth over 5m banked and super restores worth around another 5m.

Here it is. Really few tree seeds used, only the ones I got myself and I stopped using my kingdom, so I can tell you it wasn't too many. Had to skill a bit today so this would be 2040th level. Speeded up the last 60k with strawberries as I got quite a punch of them for a rather cheap price.

Took some time, but in the end I managed to get some tree and fruit tree seeds into my hands. This leveling is slowly getting slower and slower as there's so much to next level, but oh well... only 4 to go.

Aah... Only 3 levels to go. Not much level wise. This level wasn't too painful as I stopped stressing about farming. Slowly comes the good. Getting so close that I just can't stop it anymore...

Started nicely but the last 120k xp was pain in the bu...my exit only door. A lot of dagannoth kings, more slayer and so on. Also a small lack of motivation didn't help here. Wearing a non-colorful outfit there as I had just banked slayer items and didn't think I'd get the level from 1st patch... Oh well rather take 16 herbs from one than stress about clothes. Been lately dropping at the ranks, but that doesn't bother me. My plan is to take 99, not to climb up at hiscores.

Uuhlalala 1 more to go. Had little motivation and time problems at first, but as you can see, the last xp's came in no time. Soon I can throw my rake to the corner and start a next lunatic project.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

9.4.2007:

Bought quite a few more seeds today. Should have enough snapdragons now for few days. Been growing a lot of random low lvl seeds today. Found out good prices for my pots; prices which are low enough that I can easily sell my pots but still high enough for me to make some $$$. Also seems like I've gotten some people looking after me at w137 Seers bank, lovely amount of names which are becoming familiar. Also got someone thanking for this blog, so I guess this isn't useless piece of something.

At the moment I dunno should I go for 99 pray now and slowly to 99 farm or do 99 farm quickly and go for 99 pray later... Would know the answer if I knew the answer to green/blue dragon autoer problem and how the seed prices will change in future, but now... Hard decicions.

12.4.2007:

Pick up herbs, use supercompost with patch, plant seed, fill your bucket, teleport,repeat... This has been the theme for my farming career lately. Sounds boring? Yea, probably. In reality it isn't like that, working for 5mins in a 80min period is a bit like working in the old socialist countries.

Been buying seeds lately and will soon probably move from lantadyme seeds to snapdragon ones. Yea they cost more and they give less xp, but the money gotten from them is good. Tree seeds seem to be coming down in price, let hope it's a continuing trend...

19.4.2007:

The competition for top 400 is really though :P Few weeks ago like 7,7-7,8m wold have been enough, now it's over 8m. Already once ranked 399th once today but after the latest run and this update I had been dethroned and dropped to the rank 400 :P Oh well at least I'm not the only one who is going for the big and legendary double 9. Also bought bones to 95 pray today and tested few different ways to use them. Counted I could get 99 in under 2 days if I played 24/7. Thnik I'll do first 98 pray so I can get 126 combat and waste at least a week training it.

At the moment rank 300 is approx 9160k xp. At the moment there's over 1 million xp between these 100 ranks, so I got a lot things to do. If I sold my bones and bought tree seeds, I would be able to get it in few days. However people are training and I'll buy bones for 98/99 pray before tree seeds, so I bet I'll need at least 9,5m, probably 10, to rank 300.

For next few days/weeks I'll be spending a lot of time at abyssal demons. I need a lot of cash to fill my goals and abbys are pretty much the "least boring" way to earn extra millions.

23.4.2007

So... I now have enough bones to 126 combat and in last 2 days I've been breaking my personal records in the xp done in one day... In prayer that is :P How does this affect to my farming? Well, not at least negatively. I still got a lot of herb seeds (even tho soon going for worse ones if we only think about xp... but xp isn't the only thing) and now I can start using money on seeds.

I said I got 126 combat banked, but as most of you know, that means lvl 98 pray. I'll now go for it (aim to get it at next friday or saturday) but without forgetting farming. A timer is always a good friend in this kind of situation. Some of you might ask why don't I get 99 straight. Well, the answer is simple: I might go for triple 99 at once. This would mean getting 99 pray, farm and fletch in same event. Why, when or with who? Only time will tell...

28.4.2007

Closer, closer... Not too far from 95 farm and I'll most likely hit 126 combat later tonight or tomorrow... You'll see a totally new post when that happens :P For 99 farm I still got a lot to do, but my bank is slowly but surely gaining back some cash it lost from the dragon bones...

Yesterday I posted some of the herb:seed ratio info I had gathered during my journey. Hopefully it drags more people into this beautiful skill but doesn't affect too badly to the herb seed prices...

30.4.2007

Got the combat level (there's a separate topic about it) and invested on some tree seeds. Gained quite nice amount xp there and getting closer to 95 farm. Dunno yet when will I get it, but I promise it won't take long. Dunno about monday, but thuesday sounds pretty optimistic.

Now after 126 prayer I've been thinking of new goals. Of course I won't abandon farming, but seriously I can't train it 75mins in a row :P Dunno yet what shall I do...

7.5.2007

Getting closer, getting closer... Under 30% left and still kicking. Been working a bit on other skills, could get some easy levels in no time if I wanted to. Oh well, 3,820,532 farming xp to go. At average 7 herbs per seed that would mean approx 5950 kwuarm seeds, 2525 dwarf weed seeds, 4050 cadantine seeds or 9900 irit seeds. Think I buy some seeds when I can...

96 isn't too far away anymore, 470k xp to. Might sound a lot, but heck I've done over 9m xp so that's nothing. Free magic seeds anyone? Naw just kidding, I ain't taking donations.

17.5.2007

Finally 96. Only 3 levels to go. Not sure should I now start going for mad xp or still keep working on other skills too (got 80 con for example banked atm) and slowly bump farming up with herbs and some occasional fruit tree or tree seeds.

At this point I gotta thank those Seer bank dwellers who have sold me a lot of herb seeds. Even tho I've suffered from quite a lot of begging there, the seeds you've sold have helped me a lot. Thank you.

23.5.2007

Getting closer to top 300. Currently ranked 308th and just around 1k xp away from the rank 307. Also lacking 81189xp from 300, but knowing the other training people, I'll probably need aroung 120k xp more. Also just a bit over 20% left, exactly 2,888,228xp. That looks pretty good.

Next update will probably be when I join the top 300 farmer club or get the percentage to 80%, depending which one comes first. Shouldn't take too long tho.

27.5.2007

Finally over 80% done, feels good. :P For rank 300 there was a quite big fight, but eventually I got some more xp and can now say I won't be pushed back to 300s anytime soon. Also level is coming soon, only 263229 xp left. 97-98 Will be horrible: not maxed after it so it's mentally harder but the amount of xp is pretty sick. Oh well I've gotten to this point, I won't give up.

31.5.2007

Been pretty stable at the hiscores. In the other words it means lack of training. The reason for this is simple: I've been doing dagannoth kings with one mate for few days. This means less attention paid on herbs and thus this kind of affect to the xp. Oh well at least I now can say I got a dk partner I can trust and I know I can actually kill them. Still got little things to practice and work on food:pot ratio. Anyways this fun way of making cash might pay back in future: who knows what will happen after few good drops ;)

I also started a new blog on my whole rs things (all levels, clues, drops, etc) but it didn't really take air under its wings. Maybe I'll just stick with this one... Anyways it was nice to see some people have bothered to reply to my farming guide. After all I wrote that guide to you. This is more personal thing to motivate myself, but that guide is to attract more people to this beautiful skill.

However 97 is so close that it's almost scary. I could get it tomorrow (or today as it's over midnight here already) but I just don't feel like buying tree seeds now: bought full guthans today and some other junk too. I also don't have any hurry to get 97: my goal is 99 and 97 is just one step to it which I have to take.

10.6.2007

Got the 90 slay, got some wealth and now I got even some seeds. Even tho I'm xp wise far from 98, I now got enough seeds to boost my training a lot. Haven't been bothered how close to 98 I can get with these babies, but the first dark bow drop should let me buy 99 easily if I don't feel like first saving for a new phat which would look better with farming cape than my current ones.

Yea, I've been dropping in ranks and gaining xp slowly. That doesn't bother me as I'm back and stronger than for a while. Little warning: be aware to see the 11m xp barrier being broken in soon!

12.6.2007

I promised some speed and here it is. See how the xp magically just rises. All the expensive seeds are now paying back in mega-xp. Currently got 98 farm banked in good seeds (shouldn't take too long!) and as some of you already know, I was the first one ever to get a dark bow. Made an easy 50m out of it. Dunno how much will I invest on farming, tho. There would be other nice skills to train too...

14.6.2007

Fear the power of Hohto. Few days and I'll hit 98... After that I don't know what but who cares. Once I promise something, I do anything to fulfill it. Some of you didn't believe in me months ago, but I'm still kicking and doing pretty well. Soon watercan cape will be mine and I can take few other 99s too. Still a long way to Peter's xp's, but oh well...

17.6.2007

Once again I hit the level at around 1.00 am. Should probably plant my trees an hour earlier. Oh well only 1 more level to go and then my task's done. Would have gotten this level yesterday but ended up drinking with few mates so that changed my plans. Oh well, rather take a beer or 24 with mates than wait for the tree to be ready. Probably gonna start this level with a low speed and then do a big jump in the end like I did with 98. Gotta do some preparations before I can even take the last xp's from the spirit tree that has been in "check health" condition for almost 3 months now.

Spent today "few" mils but not on skills. Was supposed to buy 25k yew logs for the fletching, but while being at w1 I also decided to get me something fun. Ended up buying an easter egg and a pumpkin.

18.6.2007

Been advancing slowly but surely. Been pretty busy with fletching, but getting closer. Currently around 860k to 99 fletch, so not much to go. Gonna bump it to around 13m xp and then do the same for prayer before starting mad farm training again. I seriously want to take all those 99 skills same time.

Currently 1,073,176xp to 99 farm. Sounds awful and if you want to think it this way, it's as much xp as needed from lvl 1 to lvl 73 and we currently have around 10500 people with more xp than that. Freaky, eh? One magic tree gives 13,913.5xp (13,768.5 for checking health+145 for planting) so I'd need approx 77 magic trees if none of them died. If I paid 2k per coconut and hired the farmers to look at them, it would cost me 25*77*2k=3,850,000gp just to pay for the famers. Add 77*170k=13,090,000gp to that and you get a pretty nice sum. Expensive, aber leben ist...

21.6.2007

748,418xp to go. Gained an ok amount, but now gonna slow down for a while as I need to work on other skills too. Checked the heals from my last trees just a sec ago, but still got some palms and a handful of calquats ready.

Pretty wicked skill this is indeed. Doesn't require a lot of clicking, can be profitable and so on... Including can turn you into a lunatic person who has spent tens of millions gp on magic trees :P Oh well back to construction...

24.6.2007

At the moment it looks like I won't take 2.1k total same time. Just haven't had any real motivation to train my weaker skills, not even if I have had all the materials to level them. To 99 farm I currently need only 560k xp more.

For fletching I'm doing well. Around 370k to level now while writing things. With prayer I can't say I would have started real training yet, but I got an ace in pocket there ;)

After these levels I don't exactly know what to do. Wouldn't be too far from all skils 90+, but rc or agility don't sound too great. 99 WC, fishing or slayer wouldn't be even that bad, but don't really know do I want them. Slay would take some time, but at least it wouldn't be as repetitive as the other skills. 90 Crafting or 9x smith wouldn't be that bad either. Oh well lets look at the future after few weeks...

27.6.2007

Slowly but sure kicking closer. Been a bit inactive lately, just haven't felt like playing. Next weekend I'll be drinking myself into a platapys, from friday morning till sunday night. Because of that, don't expect to see any heroic acts at weekend from me, I most likely won't get levels then even to xp wise could be possible.

2.7.2007

Hahha, far a way still, was at festivals whole weekend and now get the hangover from 3 days of solid drinking. Dropped few ranks because of that but so what, there are thins that are worth more than a couple xp's.

8.7.2007

Got the bones for 99 pray, magic seeds for 99 farm and materials for 99 fletch. Won't take too many days for you to see me with three new 99s. Most likely won't have a party but will video the "event" and host it to youtube. Taking succestions for the backround music :)

Lately been killing a lot of mithril dragons. So far 340 dragons dead without a visage or a large... Oh well, will eventually get one if I keep killing them long enough. I didn't give up with farming, so why would I give up with blue creatures that are almost 180 levels higher than me?

So, in last few days I've been doing a bit everything but mostly nothing. Haven't done any hardcore skilling, but done a bit that and this. Same with mithril dragons, killed few but not too many. Also was pkin with RSD. This time wasn't as fun as last time, no other clans seemed to want to fight. oh well at least there's few declared wars... Gotta keep fishing for them so I won't run out of food.

Today got finally 2085 total. not a big deal, but closer to 2100 than 2084. Zot Mutske has been asking me to come do some thieving for a while and today I decided I could go there to take one level.

76 hunter 8-)

Been only teasing animals lately, in the other words hunting and fishing. Been doing around 130k hunt xp per day for few days now and then fishing at later times when red chinchompa pots are getting filled. Seems to work well.

Next level will definately be 88 fishing. I'll most likely get it tonight, but dunno will it be 19th already when I get it.... Oh well who cares as long as I get it. Friends have also enjoyed my new fishing hobby. I personally don't need more cooking xp, so few friends have gotten some extra fish to cook.

In rs2 I've been pretty much a pure skiller.

A skiller with 126 combat though.

And Congratulations on the hunt/fish/thieving/agility/everything else level(s). How about posting a little more pictures, I just love picture blogs and yours lacks a bit on that department. The writing pieces are very good though!

88 fish :boohoo:

82 agility last night :XD:

Finally got the first picture here. Was about time. Like you can see, I've been training quite a lot hunter lately. It's relatively fast skill and it was my lowest skill, so why not :P

Dunno for sure what will be my next levels, but I know for a fact that I'm getting closer and closer to the big 2100. My only wish atm is that Jagex doesn't give us a new skill before I hit that.
