Kept alive my streak of a level a day in December. Saturday got to 82 Thieving. In Pyramid Plunder it's always slow (to me) to get from a 0 level (70, 80) to a 1 level (71, 81). I worked on refining my thieving technique and here's how I'm doing it now:
Wear a ring of dueling and wield a Pharoah Sceptre. Tele to the pyramid and start your run. I like finding a world with 3-4 other people since you can find your door faster. Now, from levels ending in 6 to levels ending 0 (hope that makes sense) I loot the room 1 level down from my max until I have 2/3 of my time left. Then I go to my hardest room and clean it out. (You can experiment to get an idea of how much time you should leave yourself). From levels ending in 1 to levels ending in 5 I clean out the room one level below me then try to get through my max room as fast as I can. Usually this means I get all but one or two. But I also fail less so get more xp per run. Then I dueling ring to CW. Bank, sceptre back to mummy. Saves me running to the bank and then trying to find the mummy again.
Sunday I died twice at GWD due to my own stupidity. There's nothing anyone can learn from this other then that I am terrible at complex combat situations.
I went and finished my slayer task. 81 Defense. Should get a whole bunch of other combat related levels in the next few days. I train on control. Finished my 25th slayer assignment in a row.
As I was getting ready to wrap up my day I discovered that a star was going to fall soon. I got together 2 friends and we waited for it. The three of us had this level 5 all to ourself until the last level. Gained over 15k xp for 82 Mining.
On a side note: I got a Sinister Key from a Magpie a few days ago. I researched it and decided I should get 2 others before opening the chest, just to see how hard it was to do. Amazingly easy. Salarin dropped a key 2x in 5 kills. Took about 10 minutes total. Killed some chaos druids while I waited for him to respawn. Then I banked, and went with my 3 keys to the chest. Used all 3 (27 herbs) plus another 8 herbs, 2 unicorn horns and a snape grass from the druids. Not bad for ten minutes. You can only kill Salarin with mind rune spells, but it doesn't take long. I'd take a bit of food in case you run into problems the first time. Highly recommend it if you have good mage and need a bit of herbs. Definately came out ahead on it.

I was plundering for a while yesterday too. Our techniques are pretty similar, although I'm thinking yours is less complicated and might make more sense. Mine involves doing it in cycles of 3 runs, with a tele to recharge scepter, one to sell items to the guy by the agility pyramid and one to cwars.
Thanks for the info!
