Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would love someone to prove me wrong. xd

Discuss; What ways none-combat isn't useless and pointless compared to combat in the long run, taking into consideration that you can easily make money from combat to pay for the none-combat things you can't get yourself.

Note: This is just an interesting discussion/debate I thought of. Doesn't mean I believe it, just means I want to argue in an intellectual manner. xp

skill r skills u need skills to do skilled stuff and you can use those skills to make money to afford combat gear to make monies doing combat to make money to make ur skills a higher level thus in turn makes u a skiller then u max out ur skills to get your quest cape thus in turn u beat the game of runescape i think until they put out more stuff for you to do then u have money from your skills to get that skill to make you more money and if u do this long enough u become he who shall not be named XD

I though it was just that you had to beat ever quest at the time it was first released. So like, if new ones came out, you could pick and chose (not including the ones required) to total the QP requirment. D:

Wouldn't it be 'Non-Combat' instead of 'none-combat'?

Money shouldn't be debated, this is going by all your money coming from drops, be it from collecting single coins from monsters, to getting a visage. Since getting a good drop really pays itself more than spending all day fishing sharks. xP

As for quests, the time to get the non-combat skills for the EXP could actually get you more exp by training instead. Level 55 crafting = 166,636 exp, level 60 wcing = 273,742k totally to about 440,378 EXP to get, for about 400k exp. So lets say you're killing bandits, with a whip (since it doesn't require a quest and whatnot) you get about 49,500 exp - 54,000 exp an hour, average is about 51,750, to get around 400k exp you spend about 7 hours.

If anyone's willing to do the math on how long it takes for 166,636 crafting exp and 273,742 Wcing Exp, with the times beginning at level 1, then go ahead. Quests are something you can go without. Just because you don't have the best of the best stuff, doesn't mean you don't have to keep killing s**t. Hell you can go by killing s**t with weapons that don't involve quests. (lets say rune, or maybe barrows actually)

As for the last one, never brought up ranking, since it kind of seems rather unimportant. Hell it's really just for bragging rights. sweatdrop



And Renette won the thread actually. XD She brought up the biggest flaw in what I begin it with. Without skillers buying the things that the ones fighting are collecting or without the fighters selling the skillers what they can't get themselves through combat, the economy breaks, a skiller can't really get right back up like someone that'll just go kill something for drops, and use whatever they can for a weapon, but eventually without the skillers to sell them food and potions, they're ******** and won't be able to get the good drops. Or even collect things to sell to the skiller to buy their new armors/weapons, like lets say sees, grumy herbs, and leathers. Sad I was hoping it would last longer until someone brought that one up. xP

EDIT: I had fun reading Lizzy's reply though, sure it gave her somehting to do. xP Think instead of making a jillion threads, I'll edit the first post and make this an 'intellectual argument' thread, think of a new topic later - feel free to suggest one.

I have to admit, I was impressed. rofl

Thinking of that actually, I just need to think of an argument that's not so faulty. That one had two major flaws, the one that combatants need skillers for supplies, and the one no one mentioned; the best drops and the best monsters are obtained through quests which require skills. Lizzy almost had it, but she just didn't get to that one! xd

o.o Wow, where was I when this was made?

Anyways, I love the idea you have. It'll bring something more interesting to the forum, and other members who want little or nothing to do with debates have a little sign to look at before wondering into a thread with large blocks of scary text. rofl



Dood...Bombi solved our problem. o_o;


And hopefully there will be more life to this forum.

Hmm...true....I think you're right. o.o
