Goals & Achievements -[J]-

[JoeyK.]

Well, I've been playing this account for a couple months now (lost my older one, don't remember the recovery questions or pw), and figured I had my stats to a reasonable enough level to finally set a goal I could focus on.

Working on 94 mage atm. I still need to level FM and Thieving for DT, but it shouldn't be too bad.

79 now, about halfway to 80. Thankfully, I can alch at work while I don't have customers, so things are going pretty fast - Managing about ~8-9k alchs/day right now. Thank you Mousekeys! Eventually plan on 99, though I'll probably take a little break once I get IB; alching is far from fun :l

[Thomas]

Good Luck!

If you've got the money, stun-alching is much faster exp, especially if you get sc hats

I would, but it definitely requires a lot more focus than just spamming 5 on the keyboard, and I don't have that kind of attention span :P

I did this, from 70 something it cost me 20mil to 99.

[JoeyK.]

Congratulations, keep it up!
Don't slack ;).

[JoeyK.]

At least the hati paws should help speed up the next level or two. Starting to slow down a bit :(

Might take up stun alching until the gloves expire.

[Thomas]

Thanks =]

grats dude.

[Kyle]

10hr of stun-alching should get you a good 2m exp with hati gloves

[Aidenn]

I've found out that the hati wolf is only available for 'killing' until 14th Feb, after that its being removed till next year.
The charges in the glove will run out on the 10th may.

[JoeyK.]

10hr of stun-alching should get you a good 2m exp with hati gloves

After trying it out, it seems like the charges on the gloves drain much quicker while I'm stun alching. I looked into it a bit more and found this on RS Wiki-


When originally announced in Behind the Scenes, Jagex said these gloves would provide 10 hours of bonus[1], but upon release Jagex announced, "There is a limit to the additional XP you can gain from these gloves, but that limit is determined by your levels in those combat skills."[2] There appears to be a certain amount of xp available and not a set amount of time. More details will need to be discovered. High level players have found that the gloves run out of power long before the 10 hour mark.

Ah well, still can't complain too much about the free XP considering it only takes a few minutes to get the gloves. Some people on the forums are saying it caps out at 500k XP, while others think that it depends on your level in the skill you're training. I'm sure someone will figure it out sometime soon.

[JoeyK.]

4 left. It really is kind of sad that it's only half of the required XP for 99 though. :(

Not to mention my magic xp exceeds all of my other skills put together now :P

[Cwmbran]

Keep it up! I found 90-92 to be the hardest levels :(

[JoeyK.]

Yeah, starting the home stretch is always a pain. The only other skill I've actually leveled above 90 was Fletching on my old acc, and the xp rates were definitely much higher with mage longs than alching xD

Not to mention less clicking involved. I can't even imagine how long it would take to cap some of the skills that require a huge time investment (Slayer for example)

[Cwmbran]

Mage was actually the quickest 99 for me because I stun-alched and was getting around 150k xp/h but still getting to 92 was a pain. Now 99 Mining was a real pain in the ass, and Slayer is even worse god knows how I'm gonna get that.

[JoeyK.]

Yeah, I can see mining being a pain. There's quite a lot of skills that're pretty quick if you have the gold to blow on them, but I've always tried to pinch pennies when I can. For the most part, most of my time in-game is actually spent trying to farm gold, but I can never let go of it =/

Time to sleep -.-

[Kyle]

Grats. If you're getting bored of alching and you've got the cash then just burst rock lobsters which gives around 180-200k exp/hr and you get about 200+ crims per hour too.

[JoeyK.]

I'd like to, but I'm dreading getting theiving and firemaking up for DT. I tend to get distracted from finishing my goals for a while when I start leveling other skills.

[Kyle]

fm and thieving are like the two easiest skills lmao

[JoeyK.]

I think fletching and cooking both beat them out :P

Finished off FM, probably going to get thieving done & go do the quest quick for a change of pace. Also got 92 this morning. Sadly, my gloves are gone now :(

[Kyle]

How much exp did your gloves get you in the end?

[JoeyK.]

I would say that the 500k cap seems accurate. I'm guessing it's 10 hours of use OR 500k, whichever comes first.

[Aidenn]

Grats on 92, Nearly on target now i believe :)

And a shame about the gloves, seems Jagex like adding a cap on most things.

[Kyle]

That's weird because I've gotten 500k+ attack exp and about 120k HP exp and my gloves are only at 46%

[JoeyK.]

You've gotten that much XP from just the gloves or in total? I had a total of about 1M magic xp before they expired, though of course only half of it came from the bonus itself.

[Kyle]

Oh good point, I've only gotten half from the gloves XD

[JoeyK.]

Pretty horrible realizing I haven't done any of the quest reqs for DT. Finished FM/Theving yesterday afternoon, then got all of the quest reqs today and finished up blood diamond, plus ~80% towards 93 mage.

Getting there! :P

Well, now that that one's finished, I think I'll just be turning this into my personal 'goals' thread. :)

Next on the list, in order of importance;

70 Thieving. (Just for a break from alching; getting it up for DT made me realize I actually like the skill. Not to mention it should help my bank a bit after tens of thousands of alchs)
99 Mage.
50 in all stats (Shouldn't take too long outside of Farming & maybe Dung)

Would you like me to change the thread title for you? :)

Congrats on 94 mage and good luck with the rest of the skills x

[Cwmbran]

Congrats on 94! :)
For some reason it seemed to get quicker for me after 94, no idea why.

My target ideally is 70+ in all skills now, just dungy letting me down atm.

And with my luck, the day i get 70 dungy, the day they will realease a new skill which has been 'hushed' up.

Grats on the latest levels joey x

[JoeyK.]

Managed 62 thieving and 95 mage today, weekends are never good for me in terms of available playtime. :(

Two more ;)

[marine]

Wow grats, you've leveled so fast, did you alch all the way & what did you alch?

[JoeyK.]

I've been doing some stun alching since 95. I've just been using maple long (u)'s, didn't really mind the loss since they were easy to get in the GE.

If youre looking for a good spot to stun alch try the zombies under the mage guild hardly anyone goes there so no one to bug you and its right next to a bank!

[Alkaz]

Congratulations on 97 Joey, almost there :D

[Aidenn]

98 Mage now i see, xp till 99? :)

Might have to attend this should i be on :P

[JoeyK.]

Only about 300k xp left. Been no lifing since I had a couple days off in a row (Really rare for me :P)

The wife is fairly unhappy about it though. :(

[Cwmbran]

Woop congratulations Joey!

[JoeyK.]

Thanks =]

Trying to get 75 atk quick for a sol before I finish up thieving, also want 100cb sometime soon. :)

[Thomas]

well done :D

[Aidenn]

Grats on 99 x,

Gl on 100cmb to :).

[JoeyK.]

Got to 66 thieving today, haven't really played much honestly. Kind of burnt out after 180k alchs >.>

[Cwmbran]

Goodluck on 66 thiev! Ive got loads of seeds left over from getting 70 lol.

[JoeyK.]

Got to 72 ;)

Honestly the levels seem to go a lot faster once you have a decent success rate.

[Banana Pancakes]

congratulations!

[JoeyK.]

I think I burnt myself out on RS =[

After wasting so much time on 99 mage, I realized I was nothing more than a WoW frost mage - that didn't take me 200 hours to get. RS is nothing but repetition =/ How do you people stay interested? How can ANYONE max all skills? Is Runescape ever fun? :(

I'm starting to think the answer is 'no'. Took my barraging to CW, managed a kill cape, but realized it's nothing but a multi target frostbolt I learned at level 1 in WoW. Actually, I remember a better experience in a 2000 game then I have with this one; Baldur's Gate II offered ten times the spells (or at least spell effects) that I've ever gotten from here. Just wondering; what's the appeal of repeated grinding? Being able to do a godwars dungeon and have a small chance at a few mil? Or wasting your life away leveling slayer for a few mil an hour at abbys? Is there really nothing FUN about runescape, other then the grind?

It's just not fun to me; nothing about it is. You reach your goal, and suddenly you're at the point where you need to find something else to grind for an untold amount of hours. If that's all the 'game' is, why do we spend so much time playing? Usually grinding is the boring part of an rpg, but as far as this game goes, that seems to be all there is - no skill whatsoever seems to be required (other than pking 'skill,' which is wow pvp minus talent + a few more mil to help you grind more, if you're lucky)

Worst of all, I see people paying a thousand dollars or more for a runescape item... Really? A party hat with no stats on an account you don't even own is worth that much? Geez, people really will blow money on anything.
