Most Boring and Pointless Skill in RS

Firemaking is the most pointless up there. The adze is really the only good thing from it. Theiving isnt pointless, you get seeds. Agility gives you shortcuts, Summoning is handy, Herblore gives you potions, Farming gives you herbs. Firemaking is the only truely pointless one up there

I agree with firemaking, Buy/cut logs-->Burn logs. Wheres the diversity in that lol.

Then again it's another easy 99.

I voted for Thieving over Firemaking as FM can be linked with Cooking if you're that way inclined, whereas Thieving doesn't really tie in with anything (or atleast nothing I can think of right now).

Firemaking is definitely the most useless but I think agility is the most boring

I think they're all completly boring since it's all a matter of clicking all day long. A monkey could do it. It just needs a lot of patience.

Worst skills would be Thieving. There is no **** use in it. Pickpocketing guards to get 40gp? C'mon...

Firemaking? You can light fires to cook your food! It would be useful if I was dumb enough to borrow raw food and cook it on a fire instead of going to Rogues Den.

I'd have to say firemaking. Though it's sort of one of my favorite skills, when it really comes down to it, it's pointless compared to other skills. Really no reason to have it that high let alone at 99.

Voted for firemaking.

I fail to see how summoning is useless. It is extremely useful at higher levels.

Firemaking, I don't understand why you say Herblore, Summoning, Farming and some other skills up there. Those skills contribute greatly to the game especially with the extras they give.

I'm guessing the reason other people our saying it's the worst skill is for those reasons. They don't use those skills and/or don't understand the benefits of using those skills. With firemaking, you know there isn't much you can use it for. Otherwise, I'd agree that those skills have purposes if you use them correctly and wisely.

I think Hunter should be up there. Firemaking is not pointless as it does have a practical use; it goes hand in hand with woodcutting. From those options I'd say Summoning though; while it's handy, I don't think it was ever necessary.

Your radical views are biased, sir. Firemaking has no USE after the adze level, whatever that is.

Thieving has no USE after the highest quest requirement for it. Access to higher PP rooms? No, that is used to train it and nothing else.

Hunter provides fast cash and the product for the people who want to blow all their money on 99 Ranged. Just because you don't unlock EPIC NEW BEASTS to trap after the ever so "awesome" dragon impling doesn't make it lose to those other two skills.

firemaking is the epicfail of runescape, all other skills have significant uses. the only use for firemaking is cooking food(even then there are better ways to train cooking) and the inferno adze.

I repeat:
FIREMAKING = EPICFAIl

Firemaking. Only got 99 to get trimmed cape.
Boy was that a fast 99...

It does nothing for the game. really.. how many people do you see cooking on a fire anymore.. Range are everywhere.

But really. all skills are useless out of the game =D>

I'd have to say thieving, because thieving is just not a viable way to make money, and training it is either quite boring or annoying, and the best way to train it is by far a minigame, which feels kind of cheap.
