To you guys, what do you think is the most impressive level 99 skill a person can have at the moment?

For me, I'd have to say either Agility or Farming. Agility because there is so much focus and clicking involved. Farming because of the sheer amount of time it takes to wait for things to grow.

I can agree with your choices, but I have to say I feel like 120s are what is impressive nowadays. At least among the high level community. I always admire a 120 Farming cape.

Well if you're talking about today then Invention since the skill hasn't even been out for a week yet, but not counting that then I'd probably say skills like Agility, Divination, and Runecrafting mainly because the fact that they are some of the slowest skills in game and so take more patience to achieve 99 in. Still much easier to get 99s nowadays than it was years ago though of course.

The most impressive 99s:
- Untrimmed Slayer
- Runecrafting (prior to RuneSpan)
- Agility, even an Agility 120.

I feel that crafting is a really impressive 99 there are not many citadels that have the looms available so it costs a lot of money. Otherwise I would say divination can still be a pretty respectable cape. It takes quite some time to get to 99.

120s are definitely bigger accomplishments nowadays, but I don't think that should diminish 99s. It still takes a good amount of time to achieve them. Can be harder for some than others. Especially for someone like me who was F2P for so long and only got a 99 skill for the first time a few years ago, 99s still have meaning. In a sense, 120s are what 99s used to be since for many, it's not an achievable or desirable goal.

I was going to put a caveat in there that Invention doesn't count or shouldn't be considered since it's new, but its still a skill nonetheless so I didn't say anything. It goes without saying that a new skill will be rare and hard to train quickly.

I do consider "gathering" skills like RC and Div to be difficult just because the experience isn't great and it takes more time than other skills to level.

Any of the really click Intensive skills, like Agility. Or the ones that actually take time, Like Farming. Though my personal Favorite is Mining

Invention? KInda takes something away from it that people were 200m within a week.

I'd agree with Agility; would also add Farming, Slayer, Divination.

Even though it can be extremely fast on some skills, I feel it's still an accomplishment to hit 99 in all of them. Some are very expensive if you want to level them quick, and you've got to put the time in regardless.

although they are all accomplishments just to get to 99. unless your doing it on a hardcore Ironman, they almost all seem worthless nowadays. However if I were to pick any of them as a modern accolade Agility would still win out, simply due to the sheer number of people that cannot stand to train it for very long. Invention I would just throw out, as while it's useful as a skill, the haphazard release that allowed so many people to abuse things and get to 120+ within the first week just sickens me.
