What I Sacrificed To Get 99 Fishing In Runescape

i spent two full months of my life fishing in osrs. this video stands as testament to that. i regret nothing.
thanks to settled, j1mmy, and retrorad for letting me STEAL small clips from their videos to simulate a wartime flashback.
also yes i did just watch challengers and yes it did influence the score of this video.

Lol. I remember aiming for 99 fishing in OSRS during the first few months of release. No one had 99 fishing, yet, but I was around #7-8 in the skill on the hiscores. Most of us were about half way to 99 and then I threw in the towel and quit the game for a while. I did eventually achieve 99 a few years later and I have no idea how I managed to grind that out for hundreds of hours! That sounds crazy to me now. Good vid.

If you're going for mining xp, I'd suggest making stops at either/both of the Daeyalt essence mine (provided you've done SotF) or the blessed shard mine in cam todal, maybe as a break from the grind of sorts. The former will give you a few stackable rune essences every tick that you redeem through an NPC and are worth 1.5x xp per essence when crafting runes, which helps with RC down the line, and the latter stockpiles blessed bone shards which are huge prayer xp at the libation bowl. Neither are particularly good mining xp by themselves admittedly, but training/prepping two or more skills at once really hits the spot in my brain that tells me I'm being productive. Especially with the Daeyalt, seeing 100k xp/hr in runecraft feels like a divine event lol.

Magnificently done man. If you want a little bit of a spook since you've got the perspective, I've got a buddy who was after the heron pet and decided to go fish anglerfish as soon as he hit lvl 82 (an activity worth about 13k xp/hr) and grinded them all the way to 99. I think he was there for three months while he let it go in the background. If you want an extra spook, he's doing the same thing for Runecraft as we speak, although he's at least getting about double what he got from fishing.

As a long term player I can tell you there's only a few skills that are that long. Maybe about 3 or 4. The rest are average grinds between 50-150hours depending the method. Your main issue with most is funding them. You can save time by spending more money but fishing. Wc agility they all can't be paid for. So they typically take the longest to get to 99

@zaqstoner 2 ай бұрын

hahah yeah i committed to the plan of getting 99 fishing before i learned that it's one of the longest grinds... so it was a tough first 99 but it felt like the perfect one to test my commitment to a goal!

I achieved my 1st 99 (thieving) in 2016 when I was homeless. Lotta people told me to stop playing and focus fully on other things like looking for work and an apartment, but those 2 things are nearly impossible to get accepted for when you're early in a gender transition. Finally hitting that 99 made me feel like I could accomplish anything and it gave me the motivation I needed to wade through that sea of shit.
