Construction or Herblore?

[Jeff]

Hey.

So I've been trying to decide this for a while now and I still cannot come to a decision.

Which skill should I bot to 99, Construction or Herblore?

I'm currently level 1 in both skills.

I've heard they both take less then a week to achieve level 99, however Construction is cheaper then Herblore, although the cost does not particularly affect me.

I most likely will eventually bot both of them to level 99, however I'm just trying to decide which one I should get level 99 first, haha.

So please vote in the poll and post your opinions.

Thanks.

Cons if you don't PvM, herb if you do. You're going to get them both eventually anyway, however cons is like 10x more rare than herb. That's my opinion.

Const cape looks cape but the skill doesnt get you good in long run but yea herblore can help u against monsters

Then I should note that I'm planning to achieve this on one of my Pures and that I rarely PvM.

Anyway, interesting fact that Construction is 'rarer' then Herblore.

Const cape looks cape

Even more interesting.

Haha, I know what you mean however I always thought that the Herblore cape looked pretty cool too, but both of the emotes are cool.

Herblore all the way.
I like both but herblore cape is my favourite.

Herblore, I know a way on getting it with only spending 5-15m 1-99 got 98 today.

Haha I actually do too (well for me 14-16m)

Jeff. are you making a skiller?

 

[Novaray]

Herblore cause the cape looks better

 

[Korbin]

Herblore would be moer usefull, but I would go for con since the cape is more rare and it looks awesome. I have a construction cape and it is my favorite one.

Aw, posts like these give me a stiffy, then it goes down when I realize you didn't post the method

 

[Herman Li]

I'd go with herblore since it's more useful in the long-run.

 

[n4n0]

Definitely herblore. The cape is way better.

 

[Punkerpunk13]

Herb is loads faster and more useful. I'm pretty sure you can get herb in a day or two. If you have cash to spend that is. All you get from con is the cape pretty much. With herb you get the cape, extremes, ovl's, spec restores, super prayers, etc. Very useful skill.

 

[Nagadesh]

Construction definatly, it has a way nicer cape then herb and its rare. I personally prefer it, after I get 99thieving on my skiller I'm going to get it, I love it and its only around 70m if done right, and takes less then a week. GL in whatever you choose tho. P.S If you can PM me that way to get 1-99herb that costs 13-16m please do!!!

 

[Zerkerfist]

Personally, I would go herblore. But that is only because I like PVM and having those extremes/overloads would be awesome =) But seeing as your going to get 99 in both skills then I guess it doesn't really matter

 

[Lucster]

Extremes/overloads Are awesome, what do you plan by getting 99 construction? like how do you think it will benefit you other than the cape.

 

[glamazonia]

Herblore is pretty much stupid unless you love combat now.

I like Construction not just because it is rarer and the cape looks nice but it also has a lot more content and potential than just mixing some potions. It's ok but I prefer non combat over combat, so that's probably I feel like this.

I say Construction.

Herblore, I know a way on getting it with only spending 5-15m 1-99 got 98 today.

I think you should share that with me/us.

Haha I actually do too (well for me 14-16m)

Jeff. are you making a skiller?

Nah, just leveling it up on one of my Pures.

Definitely herblore. The cape is way better.

Spoken by the expert.

I think I've come to a decision.

Herb is loads faster and more useful. I'm pretty sure you can get herb in a day or two. If you have cash to spend that is. All you get from con is the cape pretty much. With herb you get the cape, extremes, ovl's, spec restores, super prayers, etc. Very useful skill.

A day or two?

I thought the minimum was around 3 days.

Extremes/overloads Are awesome, what do you plan by getting 99 construction? like how do you think it will benefit you other than the cape.

Gilded Altar.

And simply a cool house on RuneScape, haha.

Thanks for all your comments and opinions.

They have definitely helped me to come to a conclusive decision of botting Herblore first and finally Construction after.

I'll start Herblore once I get 80 Dungeoneering, haha.

Feel free to continue voting in the poll if you have not done so, although the polls already display a majority vote for Herblore so far.

 

[Tenko]

Herblore.

Mainly because of extremes and such, it will be more useful than construction.

Construction is only good for guilded alter nowadays. The cape is not as rare as herblore.
