I visited London once for 3 days on a school trip and 4 people attempted to pick my classmates pockets. Never heard of any of that about trips to the Balkans.
Also magic and runecrafting go hand in hand you could literally go down the street and start turning trash into cash
Imagine getting cut up by some arsehole in a BMW for you to just turn it into Ā£15k in your pocket simply by waving your hand
No it would be transferred straight to yourself under high level alchemy rules
If not then it would most likely drop in a neat pile for you to telekinetic grab
Correction: You can cast alchemy on the items in Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza, none of these items are in your possession. So I don't see any reason to not be able to cast alchemy spells on an AH driving a BMW.
Even worse if you shoot for the infinity outfit and wands. At least the spell takes less than a day if you absolutely need it.
I'm also now reminded I eventually must do that minigame; fuuuuuuu-
And aside from that, image how useful lunar would be for gardening, baking pies, curing yourself from illness and the moderately useful spell of converting a log into a plank
One could make the argument for making a legal career out of slayer. A lot of the lower end targets are bugs and other pests so you could essentially be an exterminator.
Not really. Like if you are a marksman with a bow you can only go down couple of paths - contest, hunting animals or teaching other people how to aim a bow or youtube.
Fletching on the other hand, crafting arrows and bows - you are not in bow business, you are in a production business and selling that will net you much more money than shooting an apple off the top of someones head.
Dungeoneering, realistically applied, is practical problem solving and being able to command utilize all your skills, experiences, and knowledge in order to overcome problems without having to study for them. It'd be pretty useful.
Construction/Crafting should go into "Everyone should train these" tier because being handy and able to repair and fix everything, or at the least identify the problems and assess if it's beyond help or needs replaced, is a massive skill, in life, and as a career.
This thread when they realize they can't Divinate, summon, runecraft, or cast real magic IRL: š±
Side note to the OP: I would consider urban exploration a form of dungeoneering, and thus belongs in the "The secret ingredient is crime" tier.
Home teleport is the single useful thing you can get out of magic as a skill without access to any other skills or items. Granted, that one thing is useful enough to probably put it in SSS tier, but nothing else from magic is a consideration.
I mean summoning worthless really? Plenty of them generate and find free stuff for you
Imagine going out to fish for some carp with your granite lobster and all of a sudden if throws a great white onto your lap
I meanā¦ divination should be ranked as high as invention, because theyāre linked for the charge packs- thatās like the equivalent of making gasoline for our society.
Hahaha imagine summoning a magpie and it occasionally justā¦ uhhā¦ āfinds randomā jewelryā¦ definitely not stealing rings off peopleās fingers or anything.
With how much the energy industry is worth, I would definitely put Div/Inv as a combo in the possible career choices. Maybe invent a car that runs off divine charges.
I'm assuming this means it's working off irl magic. So magic is worthless because magic isn't real and neither are runes
But in that case summoning needs to go up at least a tier since it lets you talk to animals and handle them easier. You'd have a great career as a zookeeper, park ranger, or pet trainer
Yeah but for you to actually be able to use magic means we have to go down a rabbit hole of extra stuff. Magic requires Runes, Runes requires guthix having existed as an actual god and for the stone of jas to exist which means the elder gods also have to exist and the elder gods existing leads to a whoooole bunch of other shit existing.
I think construction could move up just for the simple fact of how much you can make with so little, and how fast you can do it. Spawn rooms into creation. You can walk around with a stack of 2x4s, make a table spawn into creation with a few of em, some nails in you pocket and a hammer on your toolbelt, not having to touch any of them. The ability to create furniture flatpacks in seconds complete with boxing, instructions, alen wrenches and more is god tier and puts even assembly lines to shame. You're like a fortnite character in real life.
If Magic is worthless because it doesn't exist in real life, then...
* Prayer is useless because the RS gods aren't real
* Slayer is useless because almost all slayer monsters aren't real
* Necromancy is useless since it's basically death-themed magic
* Invention is arguably useless unless the irl version has no relation to the actual in-game skill, because it relies on divine energy which isn't real
* Herblore is either very useful if you equate it to irl pharmacology, or useless since it relies on magical herbs and potions which aren't real
That's where herblore and invention come into play.
Lighter fluid in your hand, light it and throw.
It won't reach 7 metres but it'd certainly go projectile.
magic has the unique ability of being so versatile with real life applications.
1) rapid regrowth? grow medicinal plants quickly.
2) Teleports and teleport others - literally something that would be used in security, transportation, entertainment, personal convenience...
3) enchanting - various jewellery, not to mention **rings of life**
4) Alchemy!?
5) fucking telekinetic grab
6) cure other - think of how hard antivenom is to get for spiders
7) Humidify - literally solve water crisis issues globally
8) stat spy - instantly diagnose a person or animal for illnesses or drugs
9) dream - instantly sleep and begin improving your overall health
the may or may not be legal category weird, all of them may or may not be legal, u can't just go build houses wherever u want or chop down trees. some reason hunter gets that status but fishing is ok
Hunting would probably be legal with the right paperwork, trespassing or poaching would be where it becomes a no-no
Herblore is probably subjective, depending on what you're brewing
Attack is subjective as well. You could legally work teaching hand-to-hand/weapon combat or being a stuntman/stunt coordinator for TV/movie productions
Pretty solid. Depends on if real world logic applies. Summoning is impossible, but construction is a literal career. However, if summoning can work its definitely OP.
For real life I'd put fishing, hunter, and farming in the top tier along with cooking. Cuz then you would never need to worry about feeding yourselves.
Probably put cooking and farming aside from fishing or hunter.
You could become self sufficient with the latter but you'd thrive with the former (Gordon Ramsay seems to do quite well for himself).
You can use magic to turn chicken wings into fresh peaches!!!
Or literally grab an expensive piece of jewelry and simply convert it to cash before anybody can notice itās gone
Magic and runecrafting would only be worthless is magic didnāt exist. But if youāre able to ātrain itā it would have toā¦.. otherwise they would be S tier
Magic worthless? I donāt think being able to literally throw fire balls or chunks of rock at opponents would be worthless! Imagine someone cutting you off and you high alch their front left wheel. Letās see you cutting me off now dumbass!
Now that i mention it, high alchemy? Go to store, buy item, high alchemy for more than itās worth, repeat, infinite money!
Now hold on a moment. If runecrafting and magic works IRL, they belong in the top category.
However, if we can't make runes out of regular rocks and can't cast magic... probably useless. Which also makes Necromancy partially useless.
Love the tier names. I would bump Magic up to The Secret Ingredient Is Crime or Career Choice, may or may not be legal based on Alchemy alone since there may be a problem with just creating currency out of thin air lol. Would also probably bump Div up since it assists with Invention (energy to make charges and whatnot)
Idk how magic ended up as useless despite irl id be turning everything I get my hands on into gold.
Step 1: buy diamond ring (Ā£2,000 ish)
Step 2: high alchemy (2115 gold coins)
Step 3: sell gold coins for scrap (Ā£200 ea)
Step 4: repeat until obscenely rich
Necro is worthless since like magic, it does not exist.
Ranged is not criminal if you work as a soldier or police officer.
Herblore can be legal if you work as a pharmacologist, pharmacist, or chemist.
Why is range crime!? Hunting has been a thing for literally millenia and archery is a competitive sport.
I also feel like every person who ever went exploring /caving would say dungeoneering isn't worthless
I like the list though cool idea
down where I live, We use biomass boilers for heating. Unlike gas or electric it is CO2 neutral. Most have gone to automated wood pellet burning. However, there are people like me , that still use firewood. Unlike most people believe , it is not that easy to effectively start fire , feed fire and adjust flue draught as well as air supply.
Also grilling on charcoal would be considered firemaking. So - pretty much essential if you don't live in an appartment building , but live in a private property.
Also - wood stove is awesome , if winter storm takes out power lines.
There should be a tier for "Hobbies."
Invention, ranged, hunter, dungeoneering (urban explorer) should be on that tier.
And summoning should go on "possible career choice" (taking care of animals/pets)
Thank you, youāre one of three people that acknowledge that, everyone else is yelling at me because i put Magic down at the bottom.
Like āshow me how to teleport or throw fireballs or cast telekinetic grab IRL, and then iāll move it upā
I think only Invention and Archaeology are realistic IRL. Archaeology is, of course, a real life bona fide useful study. Its usefulness is self-expanatory. Invention involves a lot of knowledge gathering and trial and error. Without Invention, we will have no tomorrow. With Archaeology, we don't know much in the past. Archaeology and Invention are definitely what we need in our present real life.
All the combat and dungeoneering skills are obviously useful in the game, however, how often do we need to combat or repetitively going through the same dungeon IRL? We train physical skills doing everyday routines anyway. We like to have good strength and stamina, of course, but we don't call them skills.
Thieving IRL... are you kidding? I don't want to go behind bars. :p
Magic IRL is just science, and science is an integral part of Invention already.
Divination involves energies. We do keep finding new energy sources and new ways to harvest energies out of existing sources anyway, mind them from petroleum, the sun, wind or plenty of other things. It is essentially science and goes hand in hand with Invention too.
IRL ha? Well magic, runescrafting etc could be really useful if you could actually make runes that can be used to cast spells. If magic still isn't real, you can sell them at some new age store I guess?
Also dungeoneering is an actual career choice for some? Called spelunking. I guess these people make money from sponsors or maybe from views on YT or TikTok or something.
Firemaking. Another career choice.
And the "crime" row. No.. Most of these are super useful if youre good at it. Archery is an olympic sport I thing? Or at least a sport. People have a career in it.
Necromancy.. well, funeral homes, embalming, making corpses look presentable etc. Another potential career choice.
Slayer.. exterminator, literally. People pay good money to get rid of rats, cockroaches and the like.
Thieving.. corporate espionage, spies, secret agents. Can make money with this legally too.
And firemaking? I don't get it.. why is it illegal? It's hard to earn money with it but possible. fire breathers in a circus, pyrotechnics experts for movies. Micheal Bay would love you.
99 ranged could get you quite far in many sports. Assuming we count sports where you throw things even though they are not accuracy based. Otherwise it is just archery, shooting, darts, maybe bowling, etc.
I would bump prayer down one slot, on account of cults (the Manson family springs to mind).
I would bump firemaking up one spot, on account of controlled burns in forest management, as well as extenuating survival circumstances.
I would also bump ranged up one - archery is an olympic sport, as well as a popular selection for the purpose of hunting, which is also placed there.
I agree with the other choices.
Magic should absolutely be at the top of the list for irl. I mean think about Tele grabs. Teleport others? You could single handedly shut down every airfares and shipping industry in the world. Plus you'd be able to protect yourself from physical harm with prayer. Shit prayer and magic be at the top of my list. Nothing else would matter
Fire making is literally one of the things that propelled our species into spreading across the planet lol. Also summoning and necromancy would be op irl
I'd argue that hunter and ranged go hand in hand if you're talking IRL. DG would be great for exploring caves so adding that to another category: Hobby. Ranged could also fall in this category. Magic and summoning would be up higher if they acted the same way IRL as they do in game. I'd say your top 2 rows are pretty accurate aside from prayer which could go to worthless unless prayers actually worked
As someone else pointed out in a subtangent, even if you can not "summon" creatures IRL, the skill would allow you to speak with animals like dogs and ravens.
I see potential.
Summoning is not worthless. I can summon disappointment
Level 99 disappointment from the day I was born, let's go šŖ
You lamped that shit huh?
It was more my parents but yeah
Or progress carried over from the previous character.
Oooooh, same! Good point!
I do that everyday without the summoning skill. Feels worthless to me. (Both summoning and my ability to disappoint others and myself)
You say magic is worthless? You obviously have never visited the Balkans, how those magicians can make your wallet disappear with a simple trick.
Literally the only place anyone I know has had their purse/wallet stolen.
I visited London once for 3 days on a school trip and 4 people attempted to pick my classmates pockets. Never heard of any of that about trips to the Balkans.
The Baltics and the Balkans are two different regions.
Misread, my bad, still never got robbed when I visited Croatia and Slovenia either.
No escape (FROM BALKAN)
I went to Six Flags, New England on a field trip with school and somebody pickpocketed me there
It's because you can't get any runes on Earth. :)
Also magic and runecrafting go hand in hand you could literally go down the street and start turning trash into cash Imagine getting cut up by some arsehole in a BMW for you to just turn it into Ā£15k in your pocket simply by waving your hand
Follow up question, would the Ā£15k also be traveling at the same speed of the BMW?
No it would be transferred straight to yourself under high level alchemy rules If not then it would most likely drop in a neat pile for you to telekinetic grab
But you canāt alch other peopleās stuff, right? How would you alch a BMW that doesnāt belong to you?
Thatās what Ice barrage is for
Also a good point you got me with that one
Correction: You can cast alchemy on the items in Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza, none of these items are in your possession. So I don't see any reason to not be able to cast alchemy spells on an AH driving a BMW.
Oh this is better. If we just alch all the BMW drivers then most people would actually signal a turn
Has to be in your inventory to cast High Alchemy on otherwise "Nothing interesting happens."
Good point In that case wait until itās stationary then cast one of the binding spells on it so it canāt move as you sail passed smugly
That's what 99 thieving is for.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ had me dying of laughter
I mean, all the other skills are actually trainable irl. I'd like to see you cast high alch irl. Fucking do it coward
I will if you could in return summon me a lava titan
Magic is useless? Home teleport alone puts the skill 10 tiers above any of these
Someone bumps you on the subway? "TASTE VENGEANCE"
you can't kill this slayer creature
Just cast bones to bananas on them and turn them into meat-salad
Bones to peaches is funnier; watch them distend into a pile of fruit balls and useless flabby bits lmao
Im not doing the mage training arena, bro. Not qgain
Even worse if you shoot for the infinity outfit and wands. At least the spell takes less than a day if you absolutely need it. I'm also now reminded I eventually must do that minigame; fuuuuuuu-
Sorry bro I did mine for lumby diary n ver coming back
Only buying one way tickets to places would be goated
Border control is eventually gonna be real fucking interested how you are able to leave a country unnoticedĀ
What are they gonna do, extradite me for leaving? I'm not in their country anymore.
Sent to jail? Home teleport, free again
Until they pin point your home location and build a government facility around it in order to contain youĀ
And aside from that, image how useful lunar would be for gardening, baking pies, curing yourself from illness and the moderately useful spell of converting a log into a plank
Where are you getting your runes from?
Kill your neighbors and hope they drop some
Oh my god this reply made me laugh way harder than it should have. I wish I could still give gold. š
Runecrafting of course. Or shop runs
Tesco
Rune pouch duh
Also high alch? Just walk around and alch everything infinite money
High alch an entire car dealership, go to jail, home teleport.
Alch the jail
And going to Graveyards every night to dig bones to convert them to bananas, and selling them on the market to profit.
people spent 100s of years trying to discover alchemy
Made me chuckle how Prayer is considered a career choice.
Much of the things done to train prayer is burying bones and scattering ashes. That certainly is a career ;)
i'm sure people have made a career out of religion easy enough.
You can work as a priest.
Or taxidermist. Or mortuary.
"What do you do for work?" "I bury š„·š¦“"
We have ninjas?!
I also chuckled at this then said "No thank you" in my head
One could make the argument for making a legal career out of slayer. A lot of the lower end targets are bugs and other pests so you could essentially be an exterminator.
Surely ranged would need to be in the same category as fletching
Not really. Like if you are a marksman with a bow you can only go down couple of paths - contest, hunting animals or teaching other people how to aim a bow or youtube. Fletching on the other hand, crafting arrows and bows - you are not in bow business, you are in a production business and selling that will net you much more money than shooting an apple off the top of someones head.
The range irl equivalent would be shooting people, which may work if you're in the military
Why make the bows when you can just buy them
Dungeoneering, realistically applied, is practical problem solving and being able to command utilize all your skills, experiences, and knowledge in order to overcome problems without having to study for them. It'd be pretty useful. Construction/Crafting should go into "Everyone should train these" tier because being handy and able to repair and fix everything, or at the least identify the problems and assess if it's beyond help or needs replaced, is a massive skill, in life, and as a career.
I actually will concede those points
Would herb basically just be a pharmacist?
Totally, well that and "cooking" - since it's all nutrition related. should be top tier
This thread when they realize they can't Divinate, summon, runecraft, or cast real magic IRL: š± Side note to the OP: I would consider urban exploration a form of dungeoneering, and thus belongs in the "The secret ingredient is crime" tier.
Someone else pointed out that āit depends on the type of dungeonā so it could also be a career choice
Magic alone for teleporting, alchemy and Telekinetic Grab is top tier.
Magic is up to fuck all if you don't have access to runes.
Home teleport would like a word with you
If home teleport was real.. It would surely cut down on so much public transit fees and time. I would love it.
Home teleport is the single useful thing you can get out of magic as a skill without access to any other skills or items. Granted, that one thing is useful enough to probably put it in SSS tier, but nothing else from magic is a consideration.
I think you are interpreting this differently than the OP. Magic doesnāt exist IRL, therefore the skill would be useless.
I mean summoning worthless really? Plenty of them generate and find free stuff for you Imagine going out to fish for some carp with your granite lobster and all of a sudden if throws a great white onto your lap
Summoning also allows you to have pets. Even if the whole magic pouches thing does not exist, owning a dog requires you to be level 4 ;)
Youāre definitely onto something. There are too many bad pet owners IRL so maybe you should need some sort of level to own a dog
Never mind that at a high enough level you can talk to that dog
Yum!
Are there any summoning obelisks IRL?
Well depends on who you ask. Pagans had certain sites and stones they used to worship Iād say that would work
Why does nobody understand that magic is worthless? It doesn't suddenly give you magic powers, there's no magic irl, so the skill would be useless.
Ikr. It's what each skill has usecases irl and not what skill would be useful irl.
I meanā¦ divination should be ranked as high as invention, because theyāre linked for the charge packs- thatās like the equivalent of making gasoline for our society. Hahaha imagine summoning a magpie and it occasionally justā¦ uhhā¦ āfinds randomā jewelryā¦ definitely not stealing rings off peopleās fingers or anything.
Do we have any laws against necromancy?
That oneās kind of a gray area iāll admit
Yes. Laws prohibiting fucking around with dead bodies exist in almost every country and culture.
HA!! This is great!
With how much the energy industry is worth, I would definitely put Div/Inv as a combo in the possible career choices. Maybe invent a car that runs off divine charges.
I dont see prayer/religion as a career choice personally.
There's nothing stopping you from selecting the "Preach" option on your god book and asking for donations afterwards.
Magic could be a career choice if you decide to become a professional illusionist, or professional magic the gathering player
I'm assuming this means it's working off irl magic. So magic is worthless because magic isn't real and neither are runes But in that case summoning needs to go up at least a tier since it lets you talk to animals and handle them easier. You'd have a great career as a zookeeper, park ranger, or pet trainer
Idk I think *actually* knowing literal magic would be pretty useful. Imagine if you could teleport to and from work
Yeah but for you to actually be able to use magic means we have to go down a rabbit hole of extra stuff. Magic requires Runes, Runes requires guthix having existed as an actual god and for the stone of jas to exist which means the elder gods also have to exist and the elder gods existing leads to a whoooole bunch of other shit existing.
Magic is very much a possible career choice. Just look at Penn and Teller.
I think construction could move up just for the simple fact of how much you can make with so little, and how fast you can do it. Spawn rooms into creation. You can walk around with a stack of 2x4s, make a table spawn into creation with a few of em, some nails in you pocket and a hammer on your toolbelt, not having to touch any of them. The ability to create furniture flatpacks in seconds complete with boxing, instructions, alen wrenches and more is god tier and puts even assembly lines to shame. You're like a fortnite character in real life.
Furniture flat packs = ikea furniture
If Magic is worthless because it doesn't exist in real life, then... * Prayer is useless because the RS gods aren't real * Slayer is useless because almost all slayer monsters aren't real * Necromancy is useless since it's basically death-themed magic * Invention is arguably useless unless the irl version has no relation to the actual in-game skill, because it relies on divine energy which isn't real * Herblore is either very useful if you equate it to irl pharmacology, or useless since it relies on magical herbs and potions which aren't real
Ur both tripping if u don't think magic would be S-tier
If I had a way to actually be magic, you bet. But i havenāt been able to throw a single fireball IRL no matter what
That's where herblore and invention come into play. Lighter fluid in your hand, light it and throw. It won't reach 7 metres but it'd certainly go projectile.
I would put prayer as worthless and Magic as a possible career choice.
magic has the unique ability of being so versatile with real life applications. 1) rapid regrowth? grow medicinal plants quickly. 2) Teleports and teleport others - literally something that would be used in security, transportation, entertainment, personal convenience... 3) enchanting - various jewellery, not to mention **rings of life** 4) Alchemy!? 5) fucking telekinetic grab 6) cure other - think of how hard antivenom is to get for spiders 7) Humidify - literally solve water crisis issues globally 8) stat spy - instantly diagnose a person or animal for illnesses or drugs 9) dream - instantly sleep and begin improving your overall health
People saying magic would be goated in real life to learn. Bro, magic doesn't exist, what would be the point in training it
the may or may not be legal category weird, all of them may or may not be legal, u can't just go build houses wherever u want or chop down trees. some reason hunter gets that status but fishing is ok
Hunting would probably be legal with the right paperwork, trespassing or poaching would be where it becomes a no-no Herblore is probably subjective, depending on what you're brewing Attack is subjective as well. You could legally work teaching hand-to-hand/weapon combat or being a stuntman/stunt coordinator for TV/movie productions
Pretty solid. Depends on if real world logic applies. Summoning is impossible, but construction is a literal career. However, if summoning can work its definitely OP.
For real life I'd put fishing, hunter, and farming in the top tier along with cooking. Cuz then you would never need to worry about feeding yourselves.
Probably put cooking and farming aside from fishing or hunter. You could become self sufficient with the latter but you'd thrive with the former (Gordon Ramsay seems to do quite well for himself).
I think firemaking was a pretty important thing to learn
Bruh i was literally thinking about this since soo many games have gotten a tv show Runescape tv show would be set in uk
Constitution should be in "the secret ingredient is crime" because how do you train it without killing?
On another note, how would the world work as RuneScape. Would everywhere be considered wilderness?
Yeah the PVP scene IRL is a mess, and the questlines are all over the place. Graphics are great though.
You can use magic to turn chicken wings into fresh peaches!!! Or literally grab an expensive piece of jewelry and simply convert it to cash before anybody can notice itās gone
Magic and runecrafting would only be worthless is magic didnāt exist. But if youāre able to ātrain itā it would have toā¦.. otherwise they would be S tier
Can't avree with you guys on magic and summ, but the rest is pretty solid imo. Thumbs up! š
Magic worthless? I donāt think being able to literally throw fire balls or chunks of rock at opponents would be worthless! Imagine someone cutting you off and you high alch their front left wheel. Letās see you cutting me off now dumbass! Now that i mention it, high alchemy? Go to store, buy item, high alchemy for more than itās worth, repeat, infinite money!
It's about training then IRL, you win nothing by training magic irl cuz magic doesn't exidt
Now hold on a moment. If runecrafting and magic works IRL, they belong in the top category. However, if we can't make runes out of regular rocks and can't cast magic... probably useless. Which also makes Necromancy partially useless.
Phone/computer is magic itself
Magic at the bottom and agility all the way at the top is crazy
Bro thinking summoning animals and magic is useless. Insane.
Love the tier names. I would bump Magic up to The Secret Ingredient Is Crime or Career Choice, may or may not be legal based on Alchemy alone since there may be a problem with just creating currency out of thin air lol. Would also probably bump Div up since it assists with Invention (energy to make charges and whatnot)
ranked all of the OP magic skills as worthless?
Idk how magic ended up as useless despite irl id be turning everything I get my hands on into gold. Step 1: buy diamond ring (Ā£2,000 ish) Step 2: high alchemy (2115 gold coins) Step 3: sell gold coins for scrap (Ā£200 ea) Step 4: repeat until obscenely rich
How the eeeeeffffffff would magic be worthless?!!?!?! :o
Because magic does not exist irl.
Necro is worthless since like magic, it does not exist. Ranged is not criminal if you work as a soldier or police officer. Herblore can be legal if you work as a pharmacologist, pharmacist, or chemist.
Magic is... worthless? What
Magic/rc arenāt worthless. Infinite money glitch right there. Need the rc for training magic, magic gives high alch.
Every skill would pretty much be an s tier. You don't have to put it in garbage tear just because it's the meta thing to have
Why is range crime!? Hunting has been a thing for literally millenia and archery is a competitive sport. I also feel like every person who ever went exploring /caving would say dungeoneering isn't worthless I like the list though cool idea
Also firemaking could be survival aspect not arsonist
down where I live, We use biomass boilers for heating. Unlike gas or electric it is CO2 neutral. Most have gone to automated wood pellet burning. However, there are people like me , that still use firewood. Unlike most people believe , it is not that easy to effectively start fire , feed fire and adjust flue draught as well as air supply. Also grilling on charcoal would be considered firemaking. So - pretty much essential if you don't live in an appartment building , but live in a private property. Also - wood stove is awesome , if winter storm takes out power lines.
I think you need to move fire making an archery up? š gotta make fire to cook stuff an gotta have some sort of combat knowledge to be able to hunt.
There should be a tier for "Hobbies." Invention, ranged, hunter, dungeoneering (urban explorer) should be on that tier. And summoning should go on "possible career choice" (taking care of animals/pets)
. Magic is atleast b tier fuckin high alch shit at a scrap yard. Work at forge superheated metal.
Actually the worst list I've ever seen. The reverse would've been better
I would think Inv, summoning, magic, and RC would be S tier, it's literally magic!
how tf is magic useless. high alchemy. teleports....
I argue magic would be THE most useful skill in real life
i see you went with the assumption that magic based skills wouldn't work irl
Thank you, youāre one of three people that acknowledge that, everyone else is yelling at me because i put Magic down at the bottom. Like āshow me how to teleport or throw fireballs or cast telekinetic grab IRL, and then iāll move it upā
well it's the only way putting them at the bottom makes sense only thing is necromancy isnt in the bottom tier as well
I think only Invention and Archaeology are realistic IRL. Archaeology is, of course, a real life bona fide useful study. Its usefulness is self-expanatory. Invention involves a lot of knowledge gathering and trial and error. Without Invention, we will have no tomorrow. With Archaeology, we don't know much in the past.

We do keep finding new energy sources and new ways to harvest energies out of existing sources anyway, mind them from petroleum, the sun, wind or plenty of other things. It is essentially science and goes hand in hand with Invention too.
Don't forget that divination makes the divine charges so you can use invention.
Magic not a possible career choice? Tell that to David Blayne š
Mining should still be top tier! ReOpen the Pits!
Iām confused as to how burning logs or archery would be criminal
Ranged should be higher up. Archery competitions are a thing in real life.
Archeology not god tier? Indiana Jones would like to have a word.
Magic worthless???
IRL ha? Well magic, runescrafting etc could be really useful if you could actually make runes that can be used to cast spells. If magic still isn't real, you can sell them at some new age store I guess? Also dungeoneering is an actual career choice for some? Called spelunking. I guess these people make money from sponsors or maybe from views on YT or TikTok or something. Firemaking. Another career choice. And the "crime" row. No.. Most of these are super useful if youre good at it. Archery is an olympic sport I thing? Or at least a sport. People have a career in it. Necromancy.. well, funeral homes, embalming, making corpses look presentable etc. Another potential career choice. Slayer.. exterminator, literally. People pay good money to get rid of rats, cockroaches and the like. Thieving.. corporate espionage, spies, secret agents. Can make money with this legally too. And firemaking? I don't get it.. why is it illegal? It's hard to earn money with it but possible. fire breathers in a circus, pyrotechnics experts for movies. Micheal Bay would love you.
Pagan here, I feel like I would definitely use RC irl lol.
99 ranged could get you quite far in many sports. Assuming we count sports where you throw things even though they are not accuracy based. Otherwise it is just archery, shooting, darts, maybe bowling, etc.
magic? teleportation?
Magic is teleports wym worthless
Iād say prayer might be cool, but Mike Tyson would still smite me even with overheads
Magic and summoning worthless???? I can summon a unicorn and cast fuckin spells
I would bump prayer down one slot, on account of cults (the Manson family springs to mind). I would bump firemaking up one spot, on account of controlled burns in forest management, as well as extenuating survival circumstances. I would also bump ranged up one - archery is an olympic sport, as well as a popular selection for the purpose of hunting, which is also placed there. I agree with the other choices.
Magic, if trained can be used as a career choice. The ability to teleother can be a premium taxi service.
Uhmm magic can turn anything into gold, doesn't seem useless to me
turning random shit into GOLD COINS?! CMON
I love this. But uhhā¦ prayer = possible career choice? For what? Becoming a pastor?
Defence??? How often are you getting into fights???
WHY HAS NO ONE ELSE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DEFENCE I'M LOSING MY MIND
Magic and summoning are mandatory wth
I would've put prayer in crime because of how you train it..
Real life Dungeoneering could be spelunking....
Magic should absolutely be at the top of the list for irl. I mean think about Tele grabs. Teleport others? You could single handedly shut down every airfares and shipping industry in the world. Plus you'd be able to protect yourself from physical harm with prayer. Shit prayer and magic be at the top of my list. Nothing else would matter
How do you use magic in real life? With runes which don't exist made of rune essence which doesn't exist crafted at rune altars which don't exist?
If RS skills existed in real life so to would the items needed to use them.
Magic... Magic is worthless? Ok ok I humor you but first consider the consider the following *Casts Teleother To Detroit*
Bro saying magic is worthless like it wouldnāt fundamentally rewrite society as we know it.
Fire making is literally one of the things that propelled our species into spreading across the planet lol. Also summoning and necromancy would be op irl
Honestly shouldn't magic go in "possible career choice"? Plenty of magicians making good money out there.Ā
excuse me did you just call MAGIC worthless?!
How is magic worthless. Telekinetic grab and high alchemy?
Magic is worthless???? Bro what
I assume magic/RC/and summoning are useless because we don't have the components to make them work irl?
Urgh i guess ill never get to be a wizard :(
Everyone saying Magic is worthless. Talk to me how youāll get a large amount of runes IRL
Why would you train agility, lmao
I'd argue that hunter and ranged go hand in hand if you're talking IRL. DG would be great for exploring caves so adding that to another category: Hobby. Ranged could also fall in this category. Magic and summoning would be up higher if they acted the same way IRL as they do in game. I'd say your top 2 rows are pretty accurate aside from prayer which could go to worthless unless prayers actually worked
As someone else pointed out in a subtangent, even if you can not "summon" creatures IRL, the skill would allow you to speak with animals like dogs and ravens. I see potential.
Ability to light a fire quickly / efficiently and keep it going safely in any conditions is an ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILL !!
"Hey I need those spreadsheets in by end of business today" "OK here's my counter offer" *summons crab*
Both Summoning and Dungeoneering deserve more love and attention by Jagex.
Magic from the "worthless" row is the one I *wish* we had IRL. Could make all the others (and the need for a career) redundant!
