Best First 99's To Go For In Old School Runescape

[@nothinphasesme5573]

99 farming was my first. Opened up other skills I could train due to the money I made via herb runs .

[@XionicAihara]

Was my 2nd after cooking. But farming is probably the most casual training method out there. Spend 30mins a day on tree runs and you are set.

[@DaemonRayge]

Farming was my first too. Wanted to originally get 70 for SotE. Then wanted to get 83 for Spirit Tree in POH. Then 85 for final tier of Farming Guild. Then 91 for double Spirit Trees. By that point, I was like fuck it, and went all the way. Especially since I got addicted to herb runs last year.

I just got 99 farming as my first as well, kinda goes naturally when you tend to only play a couple hours a week

Strength cape is super underrated. Decently close to a bank, close to food store for ironmen, close to Rogue's General Store for selling loot when not an normal spellbook on slayer tasks, somewhat close to wildy for UIM, good for Turael Boosting/Skipping. If you're a busy person and need to afk, then if you get 99 strength at Ammonites you also can get tons of lamps and Prayer xp from the fossils. Never regret getting it early on an account

I went for cooking as my first 99 to fulfill my childhood dream of getting a skill to 99. Now I'm going for 99 mining. I'm currently at 88 mining and starting to feel the pain.

When I hit base 70, I did a bit of Olaat. started interspersing RC between my other skills. E.g gain a Hunter level, get to 20% of a RC level, then gain a fletching level, then hit 40% of my rc level. Breaks it up into hourly or 2 hourly chunks. If it was during the day and ZMI was quiet i’d mix it up with library. Makes it so much more bearable up to 77.

Firemaking was my first 99. I did wintertodt from lvl 50-99 and made 45M from loot

i got 99 smithing as my first by doing addy bars at blast furnace from 70. It was slow and painfull but the money i got while doing it opened up so many expensive skills that i would not have been able to afford.

[@Remmeeee]

I have 16.8 mil firemaking exp on my main, the only 99 so far. Best way to get clues in the game so far + helps train prayer relatively quickly + 1k profit/hour on the side. I think its great as someone who stacks master caskets. I mean, 2 elites per hour is amazing!

[@sanic9073]

I'm surprised you didn't mention agility at all. The sheer utility of agility is incredibly helpful in almost every scenario, it's the most profitable 99 with the highest gp/hr skilling method, and said skilling method is also a great way to learn how movement in the game actually works.

[@gimmo3246]

you would probably quit before getting 99

[@sanic9073]

@@gimmo3246 I mean, that would be a fair assumption if not for the fact that he literally mentions runecrafting in the video, a skill that it's defining trait is that it's incredibly slow to train, but is very profitable. But I'd only ever see that as an issue if you only train one skill at a time. You gotta take breaks and swap activities every once and a while. Hell, I'm playing my GIM while I smith cannonballs on my main since I still need 83 smithing for lumby elite, and I just literally didn't play either about two days ago and played Mario 3d land instead. Might be inefficient, but I'm avoiding burnout.

[@Daniel-Choe]

I personally hate agility the absolute most. I would rather runecraft imo. I don't deny it's versatility and gp, but I can't ever bring myself to sit down and click rooftops for hours. It's too brainnumbing lol. I have 88 on my main and I personally didn't train it cause I hate it that much lmfao.

[@nothinphasesme5573]

Agree to disagree with "most profitable".. blood RC from 77 - 99 is about 200m. Unless you get some insane RNG an pull a ring of endurance 5 times with 92 - 99.

​@@nothinphasesme5573 iirc the marks of grace you get on top of sepulchre loot adds up to be more. though i don't remember where i saw that and it might have been some time ago, and thus outdated.

First 99 was ranging in f2p uim. Sadly gave up on the account during smithing and started a members grayhelm

[@guidegenius6003]

I would personally suggest getting all stats apart from maybe runecrafting up to 60-70, get Ranged to 99 fallowed by Magic which are both rather fast to achieve if you utilize Chinchompas/barraging on manicical monkeys via monkey madness 2. This should get you to around 90+ HP as well. After that, go for 82 attack for Osmumten’s fang, 70 Defense and 99 Strength.

[@Kyxul]

Just completed my first 99, probably one of the more expensive ones. Construction. Just wanted to build a max house for people.

[@clashoclan3371]

Slayer is the best painful skill to grind, the slayer helmet is just powerful and you can have access to bosses like Cerberus, kraken, hydra etc. First id recommend grinding to 50 slayer, then afk in Nmz until you got 100 combat for duradel, complete lunar diplomacy too for NPC Contact.

[@whorror_punx]

Agility was my first 99. Agility cape works as a graceful cape, and is dark blue with red trim. So my graceful set is the dark blue set from brimhaven agility dungeon, with red gloves and boots from shay favor. I love it with my cape, and I wear it more than any other outfit by FAR. I dont remember what the fuck made me want 99 agility so badly those years ago, but im SO glad it was my first 99, as it is a HUGE quality of life boost. Well technically cooking was my first, cause I wanted the cape I actually wanted to be trimmed and its stupid easy/fast. But I dont count that tbh 😂 As im getting closer to max, I 10/10 would suggest to anyone to make agility a top priority. Its super helpful and you wear graceful a lot the time anyway (assumably), might as well get all ya cam from the benefits and have an awesome cape to show for it 😎 I also get more compliments on it than any of my other capes, since its seen as a painful skill to grind 🤙

The caskets are also nice alchables and the occasional clue. And no love for Farming? I actually enjoy pseudo-Ironman in getting herbs for Herblore as a main.
