200 million experience

200 million (200M) experience is the maximum amount that a player can attain in any given skill. The majority of players that have reached 200M experience have done so in either Fletching, Cooking, Firemaking, Thieving or Attack since these skills are often considered to be the easiest to gain experience quickly in. Attack is not any quicker than any other melee skill, but has more people with 200 million experience from the days when all the top players used abyssal whips, with most of them choosing attack mode when they fought things (after getting 99 attack, strength, defence.) Other skills are often considered more difficult to train because they require more concentration, give experience slowly, or are more expensive to train. If a player has 200M experience in a skill, and another player achieves 200M experience in the same skill, the former will be ranked higher unless banned. Even though the former is ranked higher, if they are compared on the hiscores it says they are both equal in the skills that they share 200M in. With 200M experience in all skills a player would have 4,800,000,000 (4.8 Billion) experience, but no one has achieved this yet.

On 10 October 2006 HS Matt258 became the first player to get 200M in 2 skills. On 22 July 2008, HS YoGoSuN reached 200M in 3 skills. HS Gertjaars reached 200M in 4 skills on 24 December 2008 and on the same day passed HS Zezima as the player with the highest overall experience. On 16 March 2009, Gertjaars became the first person to reach 200M in 5 skills. HS Lover Romeo is the only player who is ranked first in two different skills at 200M. On 22 June 2009, HS Deja Vu Xiii became the first player to gain 200M in all melee skills. On 20 February 2010, Gertjaars achieved 200M in 6 skills, becoming the first player to ever do so.

As of 10 February 2010, 203 players have reached 200M in one or more skills; 158 players with 200M in 1 skill, 31 players with 200M in 2 skills, 12 players with 200M in 3 skills, 3 players with 200M in 4 skills, 2 players with 200M in 5 skills, and 1 player with 200M in 6 skills.

Trivia

 * If the level 99 cap were to be removed, it would allow players to get over level 99 in skills, and if the experience required for levels continued to follow the same pattern, then 200M experience would be enough for level 126 and a half.
