To all of the great minds of Surreal, I have a question for you!
What is the fastest skill to get to level 99 and/or to 200M xp, counting all of the time it takes to get the requirements for it as well?
Requirements
The meaning of requirements has to be taken very broad. It could be money you need for the materials. It could be the gear you need (armour, weapons, mining pick, hatchet ...). It could be skill requirements from other skills. It could be a quest you need for the preferred training method. Try to think about everything that takes time and take that time into consideration when getting to a conclusion.
Take Summoning for example. It could be a very fast skill to get to 99. Yet making all of the money for it takes time as well. Perhaps you have a money making method that makes you 1 million coins an hour, but perhaps that method requires a quest or some skills too? Then there is also the time it takes to get all the charms, but not only that time: you also have to take into account the time it took to get the combat requirements to kill the monsters that drop those charms. Perhaps some preferred monster has a quest requirement... And so on and so on.
In essence, you could say the idea is that you make a new account and from that moment, add up all the amount of time it takes to get a skill to 99 or 200M xp.
Level 99 or 200M xp
I would also like you to consider whether the fastest skill to 99 is also the fastest skill to 200M xp. Imagine an incredibly slow skill that has a new training method at level 98, which happens to be incredibly fast. Because of the first 98 levels, it could be a slow skill to get to 99. However, getting it to 200M xp could be very fast because of the fast method unlocked at level 98.
This question is purely hypothetical. I am not planning on using it to set some sort of record. I am just curious whether we will be able to select a skill (or perhaps two skills) on which we unanimously agree is the fastest skill.
If this thread does give you the idea to try and set some sort of record: go for it and make Surreal proud!
