Mood swings

I finally got 93 Firemaking last night! The next stage of Ancient Effigies is now open to me, but I've given up melee combat for the time being, so i doubt that will help. I also broke down and spent all my money on 60 Prayer. I'm happy for the level, but sad because I now have no cash! But at least it's only Thieving (54) and Dungeoneering (57) to get to level 60, then I can forget about them til the push for 70+ all skills.

Nighty night

Back in the game

Hey guys, I'm gonna start posting on this blog again! Did you miss me? I doubt it, but if you did, leave a comment and I'll be sure to leave one back saying how awesome you are.
So, onto Runescape. Recently, I went from 89-92 Firemaking, and got an Inferno Adze! After a nightmare first Beacon Run, where I died to a Revenant Ork, disconnected twice and took the wrong Goblin Sphere, I set up again and stormed the second run, completing it in 10 minutes flat and securing the wonderful Adze! That thing is amazing, and looks amazing too. It is part of my skiller outfit that I am assembling, which I will be wearing while I storm towards the various 99 Skill goals that I have set out for myself in 2011. First up is Firemaking, then Woodcutting, as those two are at, or almost at, the halfway point in terms of experience. After getting my outfit together, I'm going to be training those two totally until I have 99 in both. Then I will be going after 99 Agility, 99 Mining and 99 Fishing, all the while pouring any money I make into 99 Construction. I'm not going to restrict myself to completely grinding out any of those skills in 3 weeks. I am going to take my time, doing things I enjoy along the way, like minigames, quests and collecting cool items.
Also, Free Trade and the Old Wilderness are coming back! I am really happy about Free Trade, as it was the one thing that I enjoyed when I played back in '05. I am not particularly happy about the Old Wildy, as I can't see what it has over the present one, and too much stuff has to be changed and relocated to make it seem like a good move. But, I am but one of a small and frankly irrelevant minority playing the game, and it seems inevitable that all that has been mentioned will happen.

See you guys later!

Making a move

Hey peeps, I've decided to move this blog over to Sals Realm of Runescape. Been thinking about doing it for a while, because I like the community feel of Sals, and a lot of my friends are already blogging there. Here is the link:

Sorry for any inconvenice caused.

Designer Shades


The fruits of my labours! Really happy about this level. Smithing has gone from an untouched, unloved money sink of a skill, that only went up for quests, to a quick, relatively cheap skill that has become one of my higher stats! I'm not stopping here though. I have an objective from 70 to 91 that I'm only 10% of the way through. I really want to get an assistable skill up so I can assist effigies! After 91 I'll be going, albeit at a more relaxed pace, to 99! The nearest that could happen is Christmas, but more probable is around February/March. Smithing is the 7th rarest 99, so I'm really looking forward to wearing a respected Skillcape! I also got 78 Magic! I've gotten 76-78 all from superheating! Even better, by the time I get 99 Smithing I'll be close to 92 Magic!

Big congratulations to Cossack, Waste God and Tanya for being promoted to General rank in Canting! You all thoroughly deserve it!

I got bumblebees trying to figure out how I got this buzz

Apologies for the lack of updates on this blog. Was on holiday last week and bogged down with RL stuff in the run up to half term. But I have a week until school starts so I'm gonna try and maintain this blog while I have the time.

So, onto what I've been doing. Well, in the last couple of days I did Quiet Before the Storm and A Void Dance, and I'm currently getting the skill requirements for The Void Stares Back. Managed to get 70 Smithing from 66 today, as well as 77 Farming, 60 Slayer and 69 Mining! Right now I'm making a bit of money to fund 70 Construction and 70 Crafting, and then I'm gonna get 78 Strength along with 65 Slayer and knock out The Void Stares Back and Blood Runs Deep in one fell swoop!

Now, about updates! From now on, whenever a new update comes out, I'll do a review of it (If I'm able to) and rate it out of five. It'll add a new dimension to this blog, and I might even start a seperate page for it, but we'll see.

Okay, so, I tried out the Charm Sprites. They are quite fun to catch, but very poor for charms and do get quite annoying if you misclick, as you end up having to run all over the place clicking frantically! It's a shame really; this was the update I was most looking forward to, but the abysmal charm rates have ruined it for me.

Overall I'd give the update a 2/5. A bit of fun, and good for Hunter stones, but better charms and xp can be found elsewhere.

The Hallowe'en event was great fun! An amusing plot with well written and sometimes hilarious dialogue, I had a great time doing it. The spider puzzle was interesting, if a little confusing, and getting the autograph for Grim provided some very amusing lines! I also, like the reward, the emote especially!

Overall, I'd give this update a 4/5. The quest was great fun, but the Bone Brooch doesn't quite cut it for me. I prefer a reward you can wear and looks cool!

I'm really looking forward to the next couple of months' updates! I expect we'll be seeing the Warped Fllors for Dungeoneering along with some new rewards, and very, very hopefully the Mahjarrat Ritual Quest!

September Hiscores

September Hiscores


Edging closer to 1800. Got 3 skills to 80 and a ton of xp from Bonus XP Weekend. Great month for me :D

(Changed my name to Morgoth. Very evil.)

We can do this until we...

Have not had the time to post at all since Sunday, which is why I'm doing this now.

Got these two wonderful levels are many hours of grinding!


After getting 66 Smithing I went off to complete the Lumbridge Hard Diary. I got the snazzy new ring, and the lamp got me to 63 Herblore! AND the circus got me to 76 Magic!

I have just bought 57k Maple Logs, enough to get me just short of 99 Firemaking. We'll see how that turns out, as I'm hopeless at keeping at goals!
