This is the guide you need if you?re thinking about getting those skill capes! I shall try and cover everything in detail about what to do and what not to do when training for a 99, and how to keep motivated.


=======================
~ Things NOT To Think About ~
=======================
__________________________________________________ ___________________

Don't think that you're going to get a 99 skill in a day, unless your level 98 that just isn't going to happen.

The first few weeks are the hardest. After that it becomes more of a routine, e.g. you only come on the game to train a certain skill.

There are a few things that go through your mind when training for a 99 skill, these are;

1. This is taking ages; I'll never get to 99!

2. I?m bored with this skill, I'll go train another.

3. Distractions, e.g. thinking about the next 99 before the first one is finished.

4. I?m not making any money with this skill! I'll go train another skill that can earn me more money!

If you can think over those points, you have a very good chance of achieving 99.

The order they will come in is as follows:

- INSPIRATION
Normally someone or something will inspire you to start on your journey to 99. After the boredom stage looking back at your inspiration (the reason you started in the first place) will help you to keep focused on your goal.

- BOREDOM
Bordom will tend to wear off after a few days you will find yourself getting into a routeen when training your skill. This is the hardest stage. After this it's all up to you and about determination and consistency.

- NEW SKILL (Money making.)
There will be a time on the way to 99 when you think to yourself, "This skill I'm training doesn't make me any money! Why am I training it?" Trust me a 99 skill is a lot more rewarding and feels much better than having lots of money in your bank.

- DISTRACTIONS (May happen more than once.)
You may start to think about which 99 skill you want next. Try and block this from your mind as it will distract you.

- CONSISTENCY
This is the final stage where you need to keep to your daily targets in order to complete your goal.

=====================================
~ Things Not To Do When Trying To Achieve 99 ~
=====================================
__________________________________________________ ____________________

1. Don't check your exp. every back pack, this will just make the time drag on. If you insist that you must check your exp. check it every 30 minutes at the MOST! By checking every 30 minutes or more, you may surprise yourself about how much exp. you have gained. This may help to keep you motivated.

2. Don't continuously think about how long you have left to go. Although it is a good idea to make a log and keep track about how you?re progressing.

3. Don't take breaks to train other skills. Even though the training may become extremely boring, you are wasting time when you could be training that skill. Everything adds up. You will be a lot happier when you don't have to train for an extra day because you decided to not train another skill.

4. Don't ask friends about skills there training. This can be a huge downfall, as you may be distracted by the skill they are training and may influence you to train that skill yourself.

5. Don?t decide to train a skill half heartedly. Most players with a 99 skill didn?t just stumble upon it. They set themselves a goal. Lastly don't give in, if you really want to get a 99 you will, it just takes time. Pick a skill and stick to it. Did all those players with party hats and 99?s ever give in?
__________________________________________________ ___________________


================================
~ Things To Do when trying to achieve 99 ~
================================
__________________________________________________ ______________

1. Do chat to friends. This is a very good thing to do while training skills such as fishing and woodcutting, as it takes your mind off about how much you have left to go. I wouldn?t suggest chatting as much with skills such as runecrafting and thieving, as these take lots of clicking and chatting will slow down the process.

2. Do watch TV (if you have it in the same room as your computer), or listen to music. The forums are also a good place to go as it takes your mind off how much you have left to go, and makes time pass faster. Again this isn?t a very good idea when training runecrafting, thieving etc. Be careful of random events when watching TV or browsing the forums.

3. Do take a break from Runescape every once in a while. After playing for a long time, training can get irritating and annoying. Just take a 30 minute break or more, and you?ll be ready for training again when you return.

4. Do wear boots of lightness and the spotted capes. These are good when training agility and farming, as they can speed up the process dramatically as they reduce your weight so you can run for longer. When browsing the forums, don?t wear your party hat or dragon armour when training a skill such as woodcutting or fishing. If you get attacked by a random event, you could risk loosing an item, such as a piece of dragon armour or a rare! REMEMBER you only keep your three best items from the high alchemy price, and rares have a low-alching price, so if you are wearing rune armour and a rare you will LOSE the RARE! Wear a ring of life, these can save your life and are good if you're not paying attention. It only takes about 10-20 seconds for a random event to kill you.

===========================================
__________________________________________________ ____________________

5. Do try and post a log of your progress, this is good because it shows you how far you have come, and will help keep you motivated. It also helps you keep on track, rather than just training a skill pointlessly, and not knowing if it?s ever going to end. The best place to do this would be the ?Goal and Achievements? forum. Slayer logs, barrows logs and drop logs should be posted in the ?Monsters? forum. The good thing about posting on the Runescape forums is that you can support each other and you can make lots of new friends.

6. Do set a daily amount of exp. Or a set number of items a day. For example if I?m runecrafting my daily amount may be 9k exp. a day or 1k nats. This gives you something to aim for and also avoids aimless training of a skill. After you have finished the daily amount you could then possibly train another skill until the next day.

7. Try to train the fastest way to 99. I would suggest to avoid training a skill the longest way just to make a lot of money. Remember you can always make money with most skills once there 99. You may wish to have an item goal and a 99 skill at the same time, such as cutting 40k mages and achieving 99 woodcutting, and then buying a rare. Its your choice, but I would suggest speed training a skill. For skills that you can?t afford to train fast, such as cooking. I would suggest making the money first as collecting the supplies is normally slower than making the money to buy them.
__________________________________________________ ___________________


=================
~ Fastest Exp. Rates ~
=================

Here?s a list of skills I know with the fastest most trouble-free exp. rates.

- Woodcutting: Willows, Barbarian Outpost.

- Fishing: Salmon and trout in Shilo village.

- Mining: Iron ore (power mining).

- Slayer: Vannaka, edgeville dungeon. / For 110+ Combat Shilo village master is the best. I would suggest skipping all dragon tasks, and also skipping tasks that don?t give much exp. guthans and a cannon is also good for fast slayer exp.

- Prayer: Gilded alter with dragon bones is the fastest exp. have your house at Rimmington and note the d bones and marrentill, then re-buy back at general store.

- Magic: Stunning (80+ mage, use mud staff), high alchemy or level 4 enchant.

- Attack / Str / Def: Bandits, if you have guthans and are 100+ combat, take a piece of god clothing such as a god cape (zammy and sara only), rune + whip / d scimmy. Go to the bandit camp and go in the little huts and stand in a corner. The bandits with auto attack you. This gives great exp. and the guthans is used to heal you, so you don?t have to bank for food.

- Cooking: Cook lobbies till 94 with cooking gauntlets. (Family crest quest), then cook sharks. Cook in the rouges den, as there is an everlasting fire. Sharks are the fastest exp. rate, be warned, you burn a lot of sharks at level 80.

- Fletching: Yew longs are the most commonly used, as they are easy to buy and sell.

- Firemaking: Burn yews if you have the cash, if not go to a f2p world and buy willows from Varrock general store. You can get to level 99 from level 30 spending less than 2m. Burn your logs then buy more. (have money in your pack and a tinderbox.) Don't bother buying then banking, just burn as you buy.

- Crafting: Make the best armour you can, such as coifs, green d hide, blue, red and then black. Buy tanned leather and make body's.

==========================
~ Fastest Exp. Rates (Continued) ~
==========================

- Smithing: Get the goldsmith gauntlets and make gold bars, or make steel bars and cannon balls if you don't have much money.

- Herblore: Make super sets, range and prayer pots as these are commonly sold. Sara brews are also good exp. but hard to sell.

- Farming: Plant the highest level seeds you can, and pay the gardener to look after them. If they die, this wastes time and money. Try and plant all types of seeds in all the spots, this will maximise the amount of exp. Also use the nature amulet.

- Runecrafting: ZMI alter. The world 16 air company is also fairly good exp. and a good profit can be made. W36 double nats company after 91.

- Hunter: Hunt the highest level bird you can until you can catch salamanders. When you get to level 80 use 5 box traps and catch red chinchompa's, these are the best exp.

- Construction: Oak dungeon doors are fast exp, another fast way is to build a workshop near the portal and make carved oak tables, then get your butler to deliver planks.

- Thieving: Master farmers are convinient up till level 65, as they have a one click steal. Pyramid plunder is the fastest exp. in the game.

- Agility: Wilderness course is good from 52 untill 75. At 75 the Ape Atoll course is the best as you don't fail any obstacles.

- Range: Ranging ogres in King luthas training camp is fast exp. but you lose money from not collecting your arrows. Blue dragons are good if you wish to pick up your arrows, as you can use the money made by selling the d bones / blue d hides for buying more arrows. You can also make a good profit from this method. Using red chinchompas at the skeleton's in the cave on Ape Atoll is the fastest exp.

- Edgar A. Guest
"You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or throw it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar, or just a small goal. Its the achieving that matters."

=================================
~ Frequently Asked Questions (Continued) ~
=================================

Q: Are magics faster at 99?

A: Only very slightly, I can't really tell. Yews get fastest at around level 97 +. Willows don't change from about 85 neither do maples.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Are dragon axes faster than rune?

A: I honestly can't tell a difference. I normally get a willow log every 3 hits of the tree with my rune axe, and same with a dragon. There isn't a difference with yews or mages either. It might make a slight difference in the long run.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Q: So do you think I should buy one?

A: Well for the price difference, I don't think their worth there money. If your really going to go for 99 woodcutting and have a lot of money, then I suppose you could buy one. Even though the axe head doesn't fall off now, I still don't think it's worth the money, due the to difference in cutting rate between rune and dragon based on the prices of both axes.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Where's the best place to burn my logs?

A: Port Phasmatys is good to burn. Another good place is the duel arena (start in the top corner and burn towards the bank). Yanille is also a good place to burn logs.

Cool World of Warcraft Gold Farmers - 05-18-2008, 02:59 AM

Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a WoW Gold genre of online computer role-playing Buy WoW Gold games (CRPGs) in Runescape Gold and Runescape Gold which a large number of FFXI Gil players interact with one another in a virtual world. As in all RPGs, So please try WoW Powerleveling and WoW Power leveling players assume the role of a fictional character not Runescape Powerleveling and Maple Story Powerleveling or Lotro Powerleveling (most commonly in a fantasy world),and take control over many of that character's actions.MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player CRPGs by the number of players, and by the game's runescape power leveling persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist or and evolve Lotro Gold while the player is away from the game.someone said that is a great idear,but i think it's a nice choose! why? Lotro powerleveling because that Buy Runescape Gold and Maple Story Mesos it's a best games items for mmorpg,and some Maple Story Items for games player not to be our best games,lol~ we should try Maple Story Mesos and buy some also we can learn some to improve our games account! ThanksWorld of Warcraft powerleveling
