About 2/3 of the way through the bonus weekend for me.

Spent the last week kind of getting ready for it. Unlike the previous weekend I had no skills that I had hard and fast goals for. As I blogged previously, I knew more about what I didn't want to do then what I did want to. Did the penguins in Tuesday night (right when they came out) and cashed in those points. Wednesday, after I reset the statue I got 2 rcing rocks and with it came 91 Runecrafting! Double nats plus effigies. (though as I've come to find out, finding people in need with for 91 runecrafting is a bit tricky. I usually see 3 or 4 other people advertising that they are offering 91 rcing).

Anyways, I made unfinished pots, gathered rocks, sold off all my herbs from 3 months of miscellania and bought a lot of dragon bones (not used yet, thinking of using them next weekend.) Went with a few friends dungeoneering. I'm running around like a crazy person and suddenly the magic fireworks go off. 91 Cooking?!?! I was close and someone cooked a bunch of fish and I guess it pushed me over.

Anyways, bonus weekend came. Started at the circus. Was watching the xp fall. Love the circus as a first stop. Range and mage are both slow for me. Then made pots. Had about 150 Torstols and made them all into overloads. 97 Herblore. Less then 30 minutes in and got my first level. Took off on a thieving tear and got to 91 Thieving within the first 2 hours. The intensity wore me down a bit so I did some cooking. And slaying. Loved slaying. First gargoyles which went fast since I used overloads/turmoil (trying to max out my bonus). Then I got abby spectres. Grabbed my cannon and headed to Pollinveach. Was hoping that nobody was there and got really lucky. Started cannoning and whipping spectres. Took a yak and grabbed up the good drops. No levels but a lot of xp there. By now I was 6 hours into it. Decided to take a breather and did some cooking while thinking about what to do next. A few more hours of thieving got me to 92 Thieving. The last 200k took forever. I kept getting bored and logging out. Anyways, in there I mixed in some dungeoneering runs too. Friends were organizing runs and I went along. Made it to 80 and then 81 Dungeoneering.

Not bad for 2 days worth of skilling.
