Started playing Runescape nearly 20 years ago and never even got close to a 99 back then. Only got back into the game like 2,5 years ago. For some reason really got into Player Owned Farms then, which led to Farming being my first 99. Now I'm only 5 skills away from getting everything to 99! EDIT: Got all skills maxed a few days before 2024 ended!
I was the same, started 15 years ago, took a break until I got back in around 3 years ago, and got Agility 99, and I'm now starting to really get into the grind! 5 down, many more to go
its the brain development. coming back as an adult and being able to grind 8hrs into a skill while listening to podcasts on your day off or chilling on discord is a huge gain
Necromancy belongs here for sure. It's not insanely fast but it's accessible, afk, and mega cheap. It was literally created to be a new or returning player's access point to pvm, so it wants to zoom you to 99 or 120 with decent gear to get you learning boss mechanics before you have the gear and unlocks to do the higher dps but higher requirement combat styles.
I'm shocked farming didn't get a mention here. Yes, you can't really grind it out in one sitting, but you can train it while the game is closed! The POF allowed me to get 200M without any real effort.
and if you wanted to put a lil more effort you can use the beans from pof to buy growth potions and get 10-20m xp an hour during dxp but that’s not really accessible to everyone if you don’t already have beans/high farming
@@ProfessionalGasLighting sell adol animals/dinos, get beans, buy as many fruit tree growth potions as you can (prob atleast 50-100) wait til dxp, plant your highest fruit tree (could be boosted), use growth potion, repeat til none left 120 farming quick not counting the time it takes to get beans
I'm dead me too. I botted it from willows in f2p. Literally would leave my family computer on overnight. Before jagex gave af. Ironically it would probably be faster and easier now over a decade later actually playing instead
My first 99 was slayer because I thought it would be cool to have that cape un-trimmed. Bought like 10 capes so I'd have them. Thankfully I keepsake'd one of them...did not know they would all transform after I got my 2nd 99 lol.
It blows my mind to think people don't see it as an achievement. I've been playing off and on for YEARS as a casual player (I'd estimate 4-5?). I'm 2185 skill, 119 combat level, ~120 quest points, and JUST earned my first two 99s from the last double exp weekend (Herblore and Smithing). It took me using damn near all of my 48 hours of bonus time just to get across the finish line for both (they were ~85 prior to the start of double exp), and it was the most I'd played within a 1-2 week span in the last 4 years for sure. I felt exhausted by the end of it but immensely happy at finally accomplishing something I never could when I was playing on my first account as a 9 year old kid. I truly think the only people who don't see 99s as achievements are those who either need to step outside a bit more and not play the same game hours on end every day, or those who have been lucky enough to play this game for a decade plus and therefore are lightyears ahead of the average casual player.
same! I never had the discipline as a kid to do anything but minor quests, small f2p money runs (lobbies pre-note circa 2010) and make friends wandering around. I think i logged back in for real 4 years ago. I was a lvl 73, highest stat was 68 fishing lmao. currently running down 90s in my top 8 crafting skills
My first 99 was attack in RS3. In OSRS my highest skill...is attack. There's some nostalgia about the melee style that just takes me back lol. I've been playing since 05.
It's always a triangle - do you value time, cost or activity? If you have a ton of money and can buy your way to one, it'll be rapid but usually quite active. If you have all the time but no money to spend on it - you can grind your way to a 99 in something that's more AFK. If you want to play very actively, say manual combat, you can get that quickly but it can be expensive to do so.
my first 99 was Prayer. I did a lot of bones at gilded altars in a friend's player owned house, but once i unlocked it I switched to clensing in the Hefin district of Prifddinas
I’m surprised mining wasn’t mentioned at all. It’s the only 99 I have (but that’s basically only because seren stones let me train it nearly efficiently while waiting tables at work)
My first 99 was probably around 2011 and it was 99 prayer ironically. I had the money and the construction level to use my own gilded alter and spent half a Halloween masks worth of money on dbones and ground out 99 prayer. I'm probably one of the first players to have a un trimmed 99 prayer cape. I did it because I needed 95 prayer and at that point why not go the distance. No regrets. Next was 99 construction with the rest of that money from the hween mask.
My first 99 was Agility, I'm probably one of the rare few that actually enjoyed doing laps. I got it shortly after the Advanced Gnome and Barbarian courses came out, since there was something new to work towards outside of the Cave Goblin course.
My first 99 was Constitution. Got a huge boost in that skill when I converted all my Soul Wars zeal into xp. Got the actual 99 in 2018 while on an Abyssal Demons slayer task.
pretty sure dungeoneering was my first 99 because that's the most fun I can have playing this game. and, for a player with no other 99s, the trickle of xp you get in other skills while doing it ain't too shabby.
I never understand people who enjoy dungeoneering. Its one of my last 99s to go sat at 93 with more than enough bonus xp in it to reach 99 but I still leave it lol.
99 Prayer, I put every single quest reward lamp into the skill as well as any other lamp and star from the moment I started playing. Then finished up the skill with cleansing stones in priff during a dxp once I got there.
My first 99 was dungeoneering. I quit RS3 for quite a few years, but occasionally I'd log back on to do a dungeoneering floor in f2p. There's just something very satisfying about stripping a dungeon of every resource, getting even that last experience point. When I got membership and finally came back for real, 99 dunge was the first thing I grinded out.
My first 99 was fishing. Literally just played fish flingers minigame on repeat, gives insane amount of xp. Not good for afk that way, but you can take the slower route of normal fishing to afk. Virtually no cost and you get cooking mats
My first 99 was smithing, cos u can can buy high xp items then upgrade them to +5, and using powerburst potions gained me like 10k xp in seconds. Then mining but that was harder. I liked smithing and mining because it was useful and very profitable to mine ore and smith it, so losing ur armour wasn't as big of a deal than not having a skill that could afford u those items or produce them yourself.
Sadly getting 99 skills became too easy.. I rememeber times when I started back in 2003 that achieving a 99 was such a milestone.. often hundreads of hours of really active playing and clicking.. today it's often a matter of few hours.. it's a shame..
its only a few hours during double XP. its definitely still a grind for a lot of skills. plus a lot of us who grew up playing RS have jobs and kids now. lol
My first 99 was Smithing since it's my favorite skill by concept (but in practicality, making your own armour is a crapshoot and not generally worth it [I did make my own MW armor though]) and then I ended up forgetting to keepsake the cape due to not having a lot of gold to waste on bonds for keepsake keys and got 99 Mining during an event and lost my untrimmed cape XD
Im not sure about the invention one. Ive been using augmented weapons and tools throughout all my 99s and siphoning the XP. Im almost totally maxed with 3 skills to go but invention is still at 90.
My first 99 on mainscape was ranged - before the ed3 and combat exp changes. Now ranged is my lowest skill on my HCIM, I don’t have a single 99 yet and am still deciding on what untrim I want… any suggestions?
@@TlMEBANDlT when necromancy was released they changed combat exp to scale with the mobs HP. They also rebalanced most of the mobs in the game which is why cows have so much HP now. They also nerfed the exp on ed3 mobs on top of this, because ed3 trash runs was the best exp in the game and you could get 99 in like a few hours lol
Thieve was my first 200mil back in the day. Pyramid plunder was the best and only true way to go back then. Never wanted to go back but that scepter of the gods came out so im back grinding for it to speed up clues
I'm working on an account that i started to do the gold cape and p-hat events so only a few skills were worked up. My fist 99 will be and I am surprised it wasn't mentioned is going to be agility lol. 95 percent of it from silverhawk boots.
@protoxx dankjewel 🙂Tip! Use Fire lighters (the shrooms on a stick) while firemaking to collect automatically the Fire Spirit rewards. Meaning you gain a slim chance on making money while training FM.
Archaeology is by far the most rewarding 99 to get. You can’t rush it with bxp or dxp because you find yourself having to go back and do the requirements for the achievements anyway. Plus it’s an overall fun skill to do
Would it still be possible to get the Max Cape with all skills at 99 when they raise the cap to 110? I dont really want to grind hard again because im so close to getting the cape
they also wont be releasing all 110s at once. the first two is during summer in mining and smithing the second pair might be fletching and woodcutting they might add a new max cape for 110 all or wait to 120 all is a thing and then make the 120 all cape more "official"
My first 99 was hitpoints and I made my way to about 24 98s, but without combat and a few other skills, I was losing interest in playing. So, I achieved the 99s and continued my gameplay
I mean, you can get +1m xp from a couple of lamps. So getting 99 is dead easy, you don't even have to leave the GE and still get maxed (except for quests to start certain skills). Just got back to rs3 again a couple of days ago and I'm already 96 necro. The first 70-isj levels were purely from Christmas quests, wrapping papers and other Christmas related things.
Just got 200m Farming last month and now I’m taking a break lol. Decided to hope back on old school for a change of pace. I’m almost 99 in all skills so I just need to take a break from the grind.
Agility was my first 99 back when Barbarian Advanced was the best course and Silverhawks didn't exist... told myself if I could suffer through that I could get any 99 :')
every skill is easy mode now, i love the game but its really the nostaglia that keeps me playing i hate how easy 99s are now, its taken all the achievement out for me, people used to do 99 partys, no one would even bat an eye lid at a 99 now. i remember no lifing farming, by doing patches and combat with seedicide, i spent a stupid amount of time going for it daily and took me 7 months to get 200m i was over the moon, i got a sub 900 ranking and this was just before POF, if you look how many people have 200m farming now since POF its insane, its the 6th most common 200m (70k ppl with 120 and 20.8k with 200m), back when i got it it was one of the rarest.
I’m currently 55 whatever the new skill is called. I haven’t even done intro and don’t know the name of it. I’m just back after 2 years of no playing, these lamps are insane!
I'd argue based on only needing 3 of the 4 requirements, dungeoneering is the easiest 99/120. There are no quest requirements to get started with DG, it is insanely afk if you just leech (you just end floors every 5-10 minutes with very rarely a group puzzle you need to do) and extremely quick with XP rates of over 10m an hr. It will cost a lot but according to the definition used that's okay.
First 99 was Dungeoneering!! Saved the untrimmed as a really nice keepsake c: I have a number of 99's past that, but I still sit on 98's in Attack and Strength... Yeah, I'm not going to push those two intentionally 😂
I Just got fire making. it's so profitable and cheap to buy logs but I got 94 woodcutting saved a bit for the rest of my fletching level which is 80. I think that would count as an easy skill too. Or at least it was for me.
first 99 was strength years ago, i was hoping it would make me very strong XD i unfortunately didnt keep my untrimmed cape.... wish you could buy them back
My first 99 was Woodcutting as it was a childhood memory / achievement of me that I wanted to relive. My first 120 was Herblore. Pain in the a** but I love the cape. I dislike combat so yeah... the benefits aren't really special to me.
I think thieving is still the easiest 99 for all accounts. Prayer is good for normal accounts, but without a GE, Ironman relies on thieving, high alch drops, or boss drops. You should do "the hardest skill to 99". Maybe also "worst/best to train" as well. I find Summoning and Herblore to be absolutely awful as an ironman.
"while achieving level 99 in runescape 3 has become significantly easier due to numerous qol updates, faster training methods and a plethora of xp increasing items and events..." takes reading between the lines to a whole new level if you just notice the background the entire time...
I had to grind my ass off on gorilas with dharocks for combat 99s next to a prayer altar after monkey madness quest :D Only OG players will remember this method :D :D (If you are late for 1 second to recharge prayer you insta died with 1hp)
I'm probably just too oldschool because I still can't ever see myself getting a 99 in mere hours like a lot of you guys do. It's just so incredibly boring and I lose interest -- even bossing I can't do for much more than an hour or two. I find my time on runescape so much more enjoyable when I am constantly switching between different things to reach requirements for quests and minor unlocks. I feel that overall I can properly appreciate a large variety of content without feeling immediately disappointed by the reward because 99 isn't really my goal on an account until I am running out of things to do for progression.
99 Bench sitting for sure! Got that in 5 mins, can't beat that!
Its was 11 minutes
Nah, I got it in 5 minutes too.
Bench sitting is dead content
ruined my bandos armour since i accidently sat on some wet paint :(

Max and then start actually playing the game 😂

nice bro. its always good to come back to this nightmare and see whats new even if you dont know whats going on to begin with lmao.
99 fm... 17 years ago.
Maple logs burned in lines at Port Phas.
Lost my race by 12 hours.

i hate how easy 99s are now, its taken all the achievement out for me, people used to do 99 partys, no one would even bat an eye lid at a 99 now.
i remember no lifing farming, by doing patches and combat with seedicide, i spent a stupid amount of time going for it daily and took me 7 months to get 200m i was over the moon, i got a sub 900 ranking and this was just before POF, if you look how many people have 200m farming now since POF its insane, its the 6th most common 200m (70k ppl with 120 and 20.8k with 200m), back when i got it it was one of the rarest.
I felt like dart fletching made 99 easy peasy
Yeah if you got 5b to burn
First 99 was attack. Sadly i never had an untrimmed cape as i had multiple 99s when the capes came out
My first 99 was wc back in does days when it was old school rs 2003-2004
my first 99 was runecrafting! majority of the xp is AFKing at runespan and finishing it off at souls.
I’m currently 55 whatever the new skill is called. I haven’t even done intro and don’t know the name of it. I’m just back after 2 years of no playing, these lamps are insane!
I'd argue based on only needing 3 of the 4 requirements, dungeoneering is the easiest 99/120. There are no quest requirements to get started with DG, it is insanely afk if you just leech (you just end floors every 5-10 minutes with very rarely a group puzzle you need to do) and extremely quick with XP rates of over 10m an hr. It will cost a lot but according to the definition used that's okay.
I mean yeah but that does require others to not afk 😝
For firemaking 6:00 I recommend sharp shell shards after lvl 87 over logs since they are afk 3 mins at a time
First 99 was Dungeoneering!! Saved the untrimmed as a really nice keepsake c:
I have a number of 99's past that, but I still sit on 98's in Attack and Strength... Yeah, I'm not going to push those two intentionally 😂
Thieving was my first 99 on a iron
99 prayer + 99 herb here 😂
my 1st two 99 too! 😂 🙌
First 99.was.ranged. i was obsessed with getting pack yack so I made water fiends my mortal enemy.
My first 99 was agility mostly thanks to the tuska world event
99 herblore and necro same day, during last dxp event
I Just got fire making. it's so profitable and cheap to buy logs but I got 94 woodcutting saved a bit for the rest of my fletching level which is 80. I think that would count as an easy skill too. Or at least it was for me.
I should get my last 3 99s today or tomorrow being ranged strength and attack
lolz 10 years of playing rs and still no 99.... hoping to get quest cape soon!
first 99 was strength years ago, i was hoping it would make me very strong XD i unfortunately didnt keep my untrimmed cape.... wish you could buy them back
Smithing Doing Gauntlets / Boots to burial is quite AFK and not bad EXP
What would your ironman easiest be?
My first 99 was hp, and my alt's first 99 was slayer. I have both capes keepsaked.
First 99 for me was Firemaking before Woodcutting
My first 99 was Woodcutting as it was a childhood memory / achievement of me that I wanted to relive.
My first 120 was Herblore. Pain in the a** but I love the cape. I dislike combat so yeah... the benefits aren't really special to me.
I think thieving is still the easiest 99 for all accounts. Prayer is good for normal accounts, but without a GE, Ironman relies on thieving, high alch drops, or boss drops.
You should do "the hardest skill to 99". Maybe also "worst/best to train" as well. I find Summoning and Herblore to be absolutely awful as an ironman.
"while achieving level 99 in runescape 3 has become significantly easier due to numerous qol updates, faster training methods and a plethora of xp increasing items and events..." takes reading between the lines to a whole new level if you just notice the background the entire time...
I had to grind my ass off on gorilas with dharocks for combat 99s next to a prayer altar after monkey madness quest :D Only OG players will remember this method :D :D (If you are late for 1 second to recharge prayer you insta died with 1hp)
99 div was my first because of money chasing for bonds afk/high income
First 99 was STR .. like 17 years ago
Firemaking is better doing the dino stuff, you can afk for a minute and half just lightning shell shard
I'm probably just too oldschool because I still can't ever see myself getting a 99 in mere hours like a lot of you guys do. It's just so incredibly boring and I lose interest -- even bossing I can't do for much more than an hour or two. I find my time on runescape so much more enjoyable when I am constantly switching between different things to reach requirements for quests and minor unlocks. I feel that overall I can properly appreciate a large variety of content without feeling immediately disappointed by the reward because 99 isn't really my goal on an account until I am running out of things to do for progression.
When is the beach ? 97 dung im ready for 99
99 sailing only took a few minutes
