Jiblix began playing RuneScape in 2005 or mid-2006, but he only created his "Jiblix" account around 2008. He first started his account as a skill pure, and obtained his first level 99 skill in Woodcutting on 17 July 2008. He stated in an interview that Mister Fred, the first pure skiller to obtain 99 Runcrafting, inspired him to create a skill pure. Jiblix's original goal was to obtain level 99 in all non-combat skills, but he modified it after he gained level 5 combat by accident while training Dungeoneering. He subsequently decided to pursue attaining level 99 in all skills.
