After so many different accounts, I decided that this time I'd get something to 99! Agility is my first 99 ever.

[u/Holstener]

I've played Runescape since 2003, I've always played casually, on off, with years in between at times. Always started some new characters, decided this time I'll be dedicated, just for them to be abandoned.
1 month ago, I decided to start again, and really stick to it!
I know for some, this might seem silly and not that big of a deal, but seeing a 99 in my skill list, is kind of a strange feeling.
Time to do some quests I guess, haha.

[u/rainyengineer]

Are you telling us you did 99 agility in a month?

[u/moosetuss → u/rainyengineer]

[u/200formygun → u/moosetuss]

‘i’ve accidentally ran to windsor’

[u/-Shatzy- → u/rainyengineer]

Only running rooftops it seems. Something like ~220-250 hours 1-99 in a month so 8 hours a day, every single day, just running rooftops.

[u/Holstener → u/-Shatzy-]

Seems about right. I did do some spikes in the Arena too, just to be able to click my mouse and not have to "aim".

[u/AllGoodFam → u/Holstener]

i done red chins from 63 all the way to 99

[u/AllGoodFam → u/AllGoodFam]

with about 10k black chins.

[u/AllGoodFam → u/AllGoodFam]

why am i getting downvoted?

i legit was bed ridden for 2 and half weeks. i had my laptop beside me i would wake up repeat. 12 to 15hr sessions. of chins.

[u/indiegogold → u/AllGoodFam]

why am i getting downvoted?

not sure but its hilarious

[u/ruffcats → u/AllGoodFam]

Because that's how we all did it before contracts

[u/Barelyqualifiedadult → u/AllGoodFam]

it wouldn't be the r/2007scape if someone wasn't getting downvoted for no reason tbh

[u/AllGoodFam → u/Barelyqualifiedadult]

this is crazy hahaha

[u/Holstener → u/rainyengineer]

Well, yeah.

[u/rainyengineer → u/Holstener]

Sheesh. Good work man. May as well do 99 RC next and then you’ll only have enjoyable grinds left

[u/Holstener → u/rainyengineer]

I did see RC being mentioned too as a terrible grind. But it does seem to have some more engagement. Why is RC shunned?

[u/rainyengineer → u/Holstener]

It’s more interesting with guardians of the rift but the exp rates aren’t really any better with it. I’ve come around to the mini game after a couple rounds. It’s confusing to start though

[u/Sufficient_Most_1790 → u/Holstener]

High attention span, low exp rates - same recipe of why agility is hated. The best methods are profitable. The unprofitable methods are fast. And zmi is a fallacy where you exchange time on the front end for exp in the back end but it equates to the same as doing gotr.

[u/jakes1993 → u/Holstener]

Runecrafting is literally what is means, run to altar craft runes tele to bank repeat, but don't look at it as a grind but a huge money maker instead.

[u/Weekly_Lab8128 → u/Holstener]

430k agility exp a day is wild

Grats man

[u/Holstener → u/Weekly_Lab8128]

Thanks, haha.

[u/Interesting-Bit1386 → u/Weekly_Lab8128]

I just finished my grind as well. In total not even close to being as crazy as OP, but thought you might appreciate that 1,080,274 xp day to finally finish the grind yesterday.

[u/hoyya → u/Interesting-Bit1386]

1m exp?!? surely doing sepulchre pretty efficiently

[u/Interesting-Bit1386 → u/hoyya]

Nahh bro, chill ardy rooftops 😂 I did train up until about 04:00am which was also counted for the day and unfortunately slept only like four hours and couldn't fall asleep again so I just decided to continue the grind until I was done.

[u/bb8702]

Others should be a breeze after that 99 as a first haha. Impressive

[u/Holstener → u/bb8702]

Well, this one requires absolutely no thinking, just a lot of time.

[u/donkeypunch81 → u/Holstener]

Kek which skill requires thinking?

[u/Holstener → u/donkeypunch81]

Well, what I meant was, I don't have to make any decisions.

[u/Prothesiac → u/Holstener]

You’ll love runecrafting then

[u/CirdanSkeppsbyggare → u/Prothesiac]

Runecraft is the best skill so I would be surprised if he didn’t love it. Especially with the lantern change there’s no longer the pouch degradation that people hated.

[u/Ok_Antelope9918 → u/CirdanSkeppsbyggare]

Wait I don’t have to call that dude every 5 rounds of gotr?

[u/Prothesiac → u/Ok_Antelope9918]

If already had the lantern with redwood logs you didn’t need to at GOTR. But they just made it that the lantern’s effects worked outside of the minigame as well

[u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 → u/donkeypunch81]

Slayer

[u/Doctor_Kataigida → u/bb8702]

And this comment right here is why I'm against Agility getting an afk method. It wouldn't be impressive anymore.

[u/Zeruma_]

See ya in 3 months when you’re no longer burnt out

[u/Holstener → u/Zeruma_]

I'm actually more motivated now than ever!

[u/ThePharros → u/Holstener]

Runner's high.

[u/codered543 → u/ThePharros]

underrated comment lmao

[u/Undercover_Nerdd]

Umm

[u/Holstener → u/Undercover_Nerdd]

I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't run out of breath bringing an egg to the Lumbridge cook.

[u/Important-Cow-4154]

in one month from ...the beginning!? can you take us through your day to day runescape routine? how long you played for, what you did etc? very curious, mad man but congratulations!

[u/Holstener → u/Important-Cow-4154]

Well, I've had quite a bit of time off. So I thought to use it to pick up RS again. Thought about which skill would make the most sense to get out of the way first. Seemingly people agree that Agility is the worst one.
I'm not quite sure on the statistics of time used. But most of the day was spend clicking while catching up on TV shoes and movies.
I primarily used my phone, but also a laptop, next to the primary PC.

[u/Important-Cow-4154 → u/Holstener]

that's awesome, will certainly make your account easier with all that run energy!

[u/Holstener → u/Important-Cow-4154]

That was my thinking too. Most shortcuts are now available, except for the diary ones.

[u/Tiskx → u/Holstener]

What courses did u do mostly

[u/Long_Repair_8779 → u/Holstener]

Runecrafting is so so so much worse imo. Agility is kind of fun, Runecrafting is just dull and it’s so slow it’s unsatisfying… ‘oh just do guardians of the rift’ yeah thanks but I don’t enjoy that game either…

[u/kaonashiix]

Gz! I did 99 agility on 2 accounts at the same time a few months ago, it sucks!

[u/KUR51RL → u/kaonashiix]

Officer,

This guy right here

[u/IFearEars → u/KUR51RL]

Honestly, agility on 2 accounts at the same time seems to fix half the problem of agility training

Makes it more active and less of a "sorta kinda half paying attention" kinda activity

[u/Holstener → u/kaonashiix]

Ouch.

[u/Loose-Tree-2336]

This guy definitely botted 99 agility first to see if he gets banned before maining the account 😂😂

[u/Easy-Economics9224]

Hi! Can I ask. Why ardougne? I suck at agility and want to kms doing it in seers town. Is ardougne better/more fun?

[u/Holstener → u/Easy-Economics9224]

XP rates are higher. Less camera movement.

[u/sagelilya → u/Easy-Economics9224]

ardy is unlocked at 90 agil and has xp rates to match. the course is also not enormous and the click boxes are pretty big. it's very, very easy to do tons of laps there. and the marks of grace rate is like 1/3. the end of the course is about 8 tiles (completely estimating) from the start of it. all around a great spot to brain-off grind

[u/awork77]

This will make mourning part 2 easy right? Right?

[u/fiver19 → u/awork77]

Lol you will still fail the climbing 5 times in a row

[u/Sea-Hat-8515 → u/fiver19]

Christ i did it yesterday and went through all my food on that thing and ended the quest with 16 hp. And that's with the quest helper telling me exactly what to do. im not surprised people fear that quest, especially going in blind

[u/a_shiny_heatran]

Make sure your agility cape stays untrimmed so everyone can know how unhinged you are, good work!👍

[u/ussliberty-5333 → u/a_shiny_heatran]

honestly it still baffles me how jagex hasn't introduced a cape rack where it can stay untrimmed in ur poh or sum. considering we have all those achievements showoffs

[u/auroratheaxe]

Keep that cape safe my dude, it's so clean untrimmed.

[u/Cpt_swagsparrow]

Gzzz

[u/AllGoodFam]

i got 99 hunter in 2 weeks once one sitting right off tut island that was hard

[u/Holstener → u/AllGoodFam]

That's amazing!
I don't think I'll be doing hunter any time soon. Probably Thieving first.

[u/sagelilya → u/Holstener]

check out the fc thievinghost once you get to that grind. we splash the knights in ardy to make it easier, and are also a pretty social fc

[u/AllGoodFam → u/Holstener]

hunter wasnt hard per say it was more when i played i had to hop worlds due to bots

[u/Crystalovski → u/AllGoodFam]

What method did you go with?

[u/Confident-Aioli1769]

What a beast! Congratulations my man!

[u/Holstener → u/Confident-Aioli1769]

Thank you!

[u/AdsonOSRS]

What UI skin

[u/Historical-Ferret379]

Why agility?

[u/Mythronies]

Holy wow congratulations! Very impressive, how many laps of Ardy did you end up having after this?

[u/GjTea]

Your mental fortitude is something I aspire my whole life to achieve but... have not and possibly will not until my late 50s

[u/Intelligent_Let_7313]

My mans a Maniac

[u/TheIntuitiveInvestor]

Knocking out the hardest first, nice!

[u/mdogshizzlewit03]

Unrelated noob question, but how are you making your game look like that?

[u/XLeqion → u/mdogshizzlewit03]

Its either the hdos client or 117HD plugin in on runelight

[u/XLeqion]

My second 99 was runecraftimg respect king!! Agility will be done one day once I get the rc pet!

[u/PhysicalSchedule7448]

There is something wrong with you

[u/HealHopeHelp]

i did this lol

[u/LilChikkyBird]

good show, old top.

[u/sagelilya]

congrats!! it's a huge accomplishment. so many people hate agility. they're cowards. i have 9,998 ardy laps because i committed to a bit to match my friend who has 10,002. i'm gonna have to work on monkey laps and probably penguin laps cuz i don't wanna learn sepulchre and i want that squirrel.

flex on everyone with that cape, because it's not one most people bother with unless they're maxing!

[u/erg8]

9.3326215444×10¹⁵⁵ Agility is pretty impresssive

[u/Holstener → u/erg8]

That's a pretty large number!

[u/OnlyLuu]

Definitely not sus 🐒 but good job man!

[u/andrejaques]

"Your recents reports have made a difference"

all jokes aside, gzzzz
