HiScores

The hiscores are an implementation in which all players are ranked by their experience in skills.

For players to appear in the hiscores,
 * they must be in the top 1 million (for any skill)
 * and have a minimum skill level of 30 (13,363 experience points).

The highscores have caused a very competitive atmosphere, and players are very critical of others based upon their ranks. Players, such as Zezima, Gearshifter, The Old Nite and N0valyfe are revered for their achievements.

The hiscores are updated with a players' stats each time they log off.

History
The original highscores table was updated weekly with players' ranks overall, levels, experience, and change in rank. The top limit was changed from 500,000 to 1,000,000 in 2005.

Skill level of a 1,000,000 ranking player
As of October 30, 2006, the first table shows the skill level of a player with a rank of 1,000,000. A player needs at least this level to be in the top 1 million in that skill in order to appear in the hiscores. If a player falls below the top 1 million, then that skill falls out of the player's hiscores.

Most players develop their combat skills as well as mining/smithing/crafting and fishing/cooking.

Skills with less than 1 million players are marked with a dash. See the next section.

Level 30 rankings
The second table shows the ranking of a level 30 player for those skills with less than 1,000,000 players. Obtaining level 30 in any of these skills will place a player in the hiscores as long as they stay in the top 1 million. Farming and construction are the least used skills among players.

Skills marked with a dash have more than 1 million players with levels over 30. See first table above.
