Skillaz Time Tome 1 : To the Elite

Romu000 was created in about Mid 2004

Runescape is my first online game ever. I didn't knew i would become addicted !

I then started very slowly a f2p player. As combat is really not in my native nature, i died often even against npc. I played alone a very long time until i started to meet some french players.
The first one made me my firsts steel sets and i worked hard to supply him in coal.
I was part of that f2p newb population who is pleased to get surch an armour with only mining... This event will decide the whole way i would play.

Then came the f2p time for long train in mine to make some cash from coal.
I smithed as much as i could to be able to make mith bars and get my first 300k for some nats that became slowly a million.
I was also a small warrior and tried by myself my first mage experience (buying a staff and runes). As runes were so expensive, i started to runecraft and went into essence mining. Runecraft became my second money making as soon as a x4 the airs (buying ess/selling airs with profit).

My character started to take another way from my mates. Their combat were still growing and they started to go into the wild. My travels into there were a garanted die... I then worked those skill (mine/smith/runecraft) and started to get more gp than those pkers mates.
This distinction never went back. I found a group of payers to create a clan. we played about a year together and became some 'high' f2p (enough to start being bored).
The Best payer of the clan was a model. He learned me lots of things and some skilling spirit (classifying production, calculating rates/incomes...). But, as he wen't into member, he sligtly made profits on my shoulders... even if he made me 'rich'.
I also learned from that.

I prepared myself into membership and turned in about november 2005.
I made progress and errors but still played lonely most of the time. The clan collapsed and we then took our roads in different ways. The next clans i joined were all pk ones with poor players. They were not the way i wanted to play and they could never supply myself as they always spend they money/time into pking.
Then, in my early 1500 i looked for skiller clan and joined skillaz.

I love the spirit here. And best of the best, I could at least learn from really High players. The skilling spirit went into me and i rushed into 1600 to leave 'future' part. I participated in some week events and found a really nice team. The awesome guides and help mades my skill growing ever faster than i could think.
I had just made myself into 66 hunt (in less than 36 hours of real life time) as came hunt off. This week end was a nightmare as my participation was not as good as possible (computer dowtime and rl issues). The end 74 was not as much as i could do. Bad taste in mouth...
Few days after, our leader contacted me (in third) for war. It was THE way to show and test nolifing. I prepared my RL not to bother me the whole time and caught 91 in the 7 days hunting. Hunt became my best skill in so few days... Thanks Skillaz.

After some other skilling, The shark fishing/cooking gave me the ability to end the few quests i missed... First cape done !
During this period, the chinchompas range boost made it effect on market. This, and war train, made me rich enough to afford myself the best armour ever.
As i'm 91 cmb, those 2 points open me the rapid combat training. One more way to grow my total...

Now, with all Runescape lands and spots accessible, it is a wide skill training camp i can use.
