Never used range guild, ever. Played since 2005 but left on a 5 year hiatus which I returned from about a 2 months ago. So glad I heard about OSRS. The one thing I miss was how on every world, every bank was a marketplace and supply and demand existed to a much heavier extent.. but I know that'll never be back with only 300k people on at once. I remember there being 1.3 - 2m online players! A big reason for me initially leaving was getting many 99's reset to >20. IIRC it was WC, FM, Hunter, Cooking, fletching. Not to mention almost every single one of my stats even though not all botted got penalized heavily too such as 85 agility to 15, 85 Str to 75, 80 Atk to 71, 90 Range to 74.
How much GP should you bring? I'm in the mid 60's of range and plan to buy this and get to at least 85 in a quick fashion 8-) if it's feasible I'll likely make this my first 99.
Side question, do you guys just set the intervals up on your client, forget about it, and let it go until you've reached your goal? I don't babysit for the most part. Maybe an accumulation of 60-90 minutes per day. I don't have time for the runescape grind like I used to!
