Got 99 Cooking to end August. There's a nice gap between raw and cooked sharks and they buy and sell easily. I took advantage of this to get cooking done, do some chatting with friends and make some GP. I'm getting close to maxing now and don't think I'm going to have the patience to wait a month for 99 construction.
And then today got 99 Magic and 99 Fletching. Livid farm combination maging and making bolts. I have a bunch of diamond tipped bolts that won't sell anytime soon. But I don't need the monty right now so I put them in the GE hoping that they will clear out before bxpw. Otherwise it'll be a long while. I still need 300k livid farm points to be done with it but for now I don't want to go anywhere near there for awhile.
Down to 3 more skills and less then 500k til max. I wanted to get done before bonus xp weekend. Partly, I want to be done. Partly, I want to dungeoneer.

103 Dungeoneering 3 days ago. In with a good group of people who do it regularly enough that it's picking up the pace of my xp. Doing more keying, getting faster. I could be maxed by now but it's hard to say no when you log in and get asked to do a floor.
Got 99 Strength and 98 Cooking.
Started doing c2 and c3 floors. One person clears the floor, the other person skills like crazy. Getting around 50k an hour fishing xp plus cooking/firemaking/mining. Got on a streak of a crazy number of fishing spots per floor. Testing further.

Been spending a lot of time doing nothing but fletching and waiting to find a dungeoneering team. I don't think I've set foot in w117 in a long time. Usually wait for friends to form a team and I tag along. Made 97 Cooking and 97 Fletching while waiting and working things. I was cooking sharks but am thinking of changing to Rockfish. But can't get any on the GE at the moment so I have orders in for both.
Fletching...hate it.
I did get 99 Defense in a dungeon. I switch between Berserker and Tank depending on need and finally chipped out the last little bit of defense XP.

Got 97 Cooking a few days ago. I had about 50 urns from messing around with that update when it came out. Cooked up all the raw fish (swords/tuna/monk/rocktail/shark) that cluttered my bank. Sold off everything but some of the rocktail and bought more sharks. I don't burn them and I make a small profit.
A good friend of mine (who's a champion keyer) is back for a short time....or maybe longer. Regardless, he's been on a dungeoneering tear. I go with him every chance I get. The floors are fast and the team drama is minimal. When he's not around I'm working on filling my costume room still. Managed to find a weekly Trouble Brewing game (Saturdays, noon PST w104) and got a fair number of tokens. I'm down to needing 3 more sets of Naval clothing. Decided to focus on "free" clothing items (like lumberjack and the mining outfit). Bought all the cheap clothes I can for everything but treasure trails. I probably should figure out some strategy to make a bunch of money but right now I'm not there.
100 Dungeoneering to make the level total 2450.

Fletching, Cooking and Fishing all to 95 on the 11th, 12th and 13th followed by Firemaking 98 on the 13th. Been slaying a lot except on weekends when slayer areas are full, then working on other skills.
Tried out the new urns and I really really like them. I think it's a nice little bonus for skillers and not too crazy.
I started playing RS because I like quests and I was looking for a game that had good quests but wasn't 100% combat based. Hard combination I know. When I started I did a few quests and figured that I'd take a few months, knock out the 43 quests I had available and that would be that. Didn't really realize that there was a whole P2P element and wasn't really looking for something to do beyond that anyways. But I kept playing and got members after a week or so. Figured, ok....one year and I'll be done. I thought 99's were kind of dumb/end gameish and didn't care about them. So year one was all about questing and getting some basic competency.
About midway through year one I started making friends. And not the kind where you just add them and say hi. But friends that you actually trusted to go with you into the wildy without stabbing you. That really helped me along. I was rocking my mithril/steel armor and found out that it wasn't nearly as cool as I thought. (Keep in mind, this was when dragon armor was king and barrows was exotic). Most of the next few years after that were spent training skills, playing minigames and messing around. It's not that I wasn't goal focused. (Anyone who's read this blog would know better). But my goals were smaller-get all skills to 75+, complete diaries, race a friend to a goal. Along the way (before the GE) I was focused on being self sufficient. I got badly ripped off early on buying a mix of seeds. I didn't know that there were price guides and I thought I was getting a great deal on some exotic seeds. I quickly figured out I got ripped off and from that I was very reluctant to buy things from people I didn't know.
Once the GE came out and prices kind of stabilized I had reached the level where being self sufficient was making less and less sense. Instead of needing 50k for a level I needed 500k. I was still pretty self sufficient (growing my own herbs and making potions) but I realized that there was an impractical aspect to it. So I started buying things every week. With my kingdom going I didn't need that much stuff. So 100k gp a week of bones, gold ores, cannonballs and oak planks. I'd buy toadflax seeds with the profits from farming (and made a lot of pots with that toadflax too) . That was about it. I'd buy 2nds for potions as needed. Altogether I never spent more then 500k a week on supplies. When battlestaves became easier to buy I would make/buy air orbs depending on my goals.
I did this for over a year, maybe a year and a half. I had a slow steady stockpile of supplies. I was probably 75+ on all skills by this time. Making 500k a week wasn't at all difficult. Some combination of slaying, skilling and selling products and gathering daily supplies (pineapples and seaweed in Catherby, sand from Burt, Pineapples from Del Monte etc).
About 6-9 months ago I changed my formula to a million gp a week in bones and 100k a week each of ores, shards and planks. For the most part, I just continued working various skills. Got a whip drop, sold it, bought dragon bones once or twice. But mostly, it's about the slow steady collection of cash.
Why am I telling you all this?
1) I have no idea how long it takes to get 99 in anything because I never had that as a goal.
2) I have no idea how much gp a 99 will cost you because I never kept track. And I did random stuff. Like for prayer, I burned tons of shades because I had a friend who loved it and would ask me to join her.
3) I owned a dragon hatchet for about 2 months. I owned Guthans for about 3 months. I slay in a slayer helmet, fully proselyte, dragon boots, whip, barrows glove, dragon defender, Varrock cape and a glory. (Until I got a slayer helmet I used a helm of neitznot, before dragon boots I used white boots, before the whip-a rune scimmy and a legend's cape).
More importantly, I'm the last person people should ask for advice. Being efficient usually makes my eyeballs bleed. Forcing myself to do something I don't want to do sounds too much like work. My goal is to be entertained. Yes, I do create other subgoals along the way but making my eyeballs bleed has never been one of them.

December 13th 94 Cooking and 94 Thieving. Since then knocked out 94 Range (12/14), 95 Attack and Defence (12/16), 98 Herblore (12/16), 95 Strength (12/19), 94 Fishing (12/20) and then 95 Construction (12/21).
It's pretty much a ton of slayer during the week with some dungeoneering on weekends. While waiting for teams to form I do my bank standing skills. And play a little fish flinging with friends.
I've also been very disciplined about getting assists. Specifically, getting construction, smithing and runecrafting assists. I've even helped friends on occasion with herblore and crafting but I prefer to pass on those.
I was fortunate and made friends with a group of people who slay A LOT. That results in my getting about 4-6 requests a day for assists. Plus my friends and clan. I've been trying to hook people up with assisters which works out great for everyone involved.
I try to reset close to the same time everyday. If I don't have any friends who need an assist I hop over to w117 Daemonheim. I HIDE public (not turn it off) and then announce "Offering 91, 93 RC assist". The funny thing is, most people turn off their chat entirely. So you'll see someone offering 97 herblore standing next to a needing 97 herblore. Hence, hiding your chat lets you still see people chatting without spamming your chat box. Watch for people who care looking for what your offering. It rarely takes more then a few moments.

As I draw to a close on my 4th year I've been pushing to mop up levels. Got to 93 Strength and 93 Slayer. Funny thing, I haven't gotten an effigy in 8 tasks. Task 9, living rock creatures I get one. Next task, hellhounds I get 2. Just random.
By the way, cannoning hellhounds in the Taverly resource dungeon is great. Fast and quiet.
Knocked out 97 Crafting. Had a bunch of air orbs. And of course, once I get to less then 50k xp I started pulling out all my other crafting supplies. I'll be busy alching leather armor now.
Then 98 Summoning. This is the first time in about a year I actually intended to do summoning for xp. Mostly I do it in dungeons and when I need the pouches. I think I have enough charms now, but I don't want to spend the money. I'd rather keep getting little bits of xp from dungeoneering and waiting to see what happens.
Got to 93 Cooking and 93 Fishing. Mostly cause I was close. It's funny but with dungeoneering xp does sneak up on you. Have done little bits of fish flinging too so I just finished off the levels. I fished for about 20 minutes in Piscatoris with a friend and thought it was the most boring thing ever. I may start doing fish flinging daily just to chip away at it and guarantee that I'll never have to actually fish.
And finally, 90 and 91 Dungeoneering. I'm really enjoying this skill. And yes, I've had some bad teams and some good teams. But it's just fun. It's different though. Nobody I know who's done it for a bit doesn't get into it. Especially when you're going with friends.
That brings me up to 2367.
I have to tell you a secret though. I was woodcutting while waiting for a friend. Some guy asked me my woodcutting level. I said 96. He said lucky. And he was secretly right. I didn't spend hours standing chopping trees. See, I fell into one of those pits in Lleyta. And as I stood up my hand brushed against a piece of metal. It was a bit tarnished but it had some writing on it. So I rubbed it on my sleeve and.....a giant genie appeared. And he gave me a wish and I asked for 9million woodcutting xp and Poof! 96 woodcutting.
Really hoping I get lucky again and find a 96 Dungeoneering lamp.

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.

Runecrafting 89, Fishing 89, Cooking 89......almost all from fish flinging and rock collecting.
42 Dungeoneering. Thoroughly enjoying myself. I've reset my prestige 3 times. Once I knock out floor 21 I'll probably reset again. Then wait til 35 to rest after that (tears will kick on next week and I want to work on other things. So by the time I rerun the first 21 levels plus whatever new levels I unlock plus tears I'll be pretty close. And probably ready for a break).
I've done various sized teams and dungeons. To be honest, I just go with my friends when they go and go by myself when they aren't around. I don't see huge differences in xp anyways. Well, I do but it's also a huge difference in time. When I solo I spend more times "tinkering" with the skill to get a feel for it. When I go with others it's all about speed. I think it's hard to unlearn a lot of my old RS habits (like utilizing everything that is available to you) and focuse on just the dungeon crawling.
I read today's Dungeoneering Q&A. Looks like the new skill is an end game skill, meaning for high level players to use those levels on something. We'll see how that pans out.

Crazy two weeks. Only got 2 levels (87 Fishing and 88 Cooking)
Otherwise had some other stuff going on. Got a lot of smelting and fletching done since they are the easiest to afk.

Got to 85 Fishing and 86 Cooking yesterday. Today I just ran laps at gnomes.
I've gotten the full high level agility clothing. I must say they are the UGLIEST things I've seen yet in game. Used them while at ZMI runecrafting though and it worked well.
I think barbarians is a bit faster then gnomes for me. I know, I know, a number of people have tested and found the max xp etc and barbarians are better. But I'm not really good at that exact clicking business. So to me the difference is marginal. I use gnomes a bit more because it's near two tree patches so therefore easier to get to.
2083 total.

I entered the Supreme Skiller's public agility race this weekend. For me, it was from 2pm on Friday to 2pm on Sunday. I knew I didn't have the time or inclination as others to maximize xp but was hoping to see how much xp I could get if I worked it seriously. A top half finish would make me happy too.
So I got 480k agility xp. The winner got more then 3x that. But I did finish in the top half. If I could keep that pace up for 2 weeks I'd be closing in on the agility cape. And I wouldn't enjoy it at all. For a short period of time that kind of focused training works for me. I like lots of breaks and the ability to wander from skill to skill. I realize that all that switching costs me xp/hour but still, it's about enjoying myself. I think that's why I like stars so much. I check, see how long I have and then do a few activities. Then I go mine the star and then take that the next stretch of time to do some bigger stuff. For example, star in 30 minutes. Farming run, tag the jade vine, buy and make battlestaffs then alch them until it falls. After the star I know I have 90 minutes or more to work on agility or firemaking or whatever takes a large piece of time.
So anyways, reached one of my goals for this weekend which was 95 Agility. Getting 96 like I hoped for this month I think would be very hard. Not enough time or dedication. So I will be happy if I can get up to 9million total in agility for the month (another 229k to go). Then I remembered my other goals for the month. I could get a top 15k ranking if I picked up 2 more levels. Since I was 20k from a cooking level and there was a clan event trawler fishing I planned on going to I used the fish from that plus about 15mins of fishing to get to 83 Cooking. Then I took a break and hit Misc and a farming run. Somehow in all this I came across 3 penguins, so decided to do that. Fastest penguin run yet, still had 10 minutes on my terrorbird when I was done.
After that I burned off about 1500 logs. Turned on the TV and just mindlessly burned and watched the Dog Whisperer (I love my DVR). By the end of the show I hit 90 Firemaking.
Current ranking 14,866. I'm sure when I wake up I'll be over 15k again but I at least hit my goal.

So I got 480k agility xp. The winner got more then 3x that. But I did finish in the top half. If I could keep that pace up for 2 weeks I'd be closing in on the agility cape. And I wouldn't enjoy it at all. For a short period of time that kind of focused training works for me. I like lots of breaks and the ability to wander from skill to skill. I realize that all that switching costs me xp/hour but still, it's about enjoying myself. I think that's why I like stars so much. I check, see how long I have and then do a few activities. Then I go mine the star and then take that the next stretch of time to do some bigger stuff. For example, star in 30 minutes. Farming run, tag the jade vine, buy and make battlestaffs then alch them until it falls. After the star I know I have 90 minutes or more to work on agility or firemaking or whatever takes a large piece of time.

Did some fishing since I was close to leveling. Got to 81 Fishing. Then cooked it all up and hit 82 Cooking. Running low on quick and easy levels to get.

7 days since my last update. Why? Because it's taking forever to gain levels now.
Got to 78 Runecrafting two days ago. Using ZMI which is much much faster then Bloods. I'm making a modest profit (approx 40k an hour) so I can't complain. Closing in on 79, hopefully will get there before the weeknd and then make it close to 80 by the time the weekend is over. I'm learning to function on lunars. Still farming though I skip Trollheim and Catherby at the moment.
Got 82 Cooking on the 2nd. Should have enough food to get me through the month.
The gaps between levels is now getting crazy. I realized the other day that it takes as much xp to get from 1-70 as 70-80 as 80-85. (Fudging a little here and there). That's ridiculous! Then again, until around level 50 in a skill you are not going to get max speed in it, usually.
Found all the penguins this morning. I'll put up a poll on what I should I use my penguin points for. On the one hand, I tend to use them for summoning since it's a pain to raise. On the other, I'm thinking of using them on prayer. With summoning, I make pouches and can use them for something. With prayer, I use the bones and that's it. Yes, I can pray longer (which is why I want to raise it) but there's no output that I can use for other things. Vote in the poll!

Got a new computer! Faster RS speed, but forgot to move my bookmarks. Sorry for not posting but I was distracted.
Got to 80 Cooking a couple days ago. Cooked off all the monkfish I caught in my last big fishing push. Had 1 monkfish left uncooked after I hit 80, so that worked out well.
Did the Smoking Kills quest. Last quest was on global warming, now an anti-smoking one. I think the next farming quest will be "Eat your vegetables".
I liked the new quest though the story seemed a bit rushed. Adding to the devourer series of quests, wasn't a huge waste of time and had a decent reward. I really like what they've done with the slayer skill. Going to work on getting some slayer points. The jewelry and helmet look nice and xp is always good.
While killing Bork last night I got to 81 Hitpoints! Love it when I get a surprise level.

Still racing. Behind by one. Pushing to hit 1800 by Friday.....just cause :D
74 Prayer. Had saved up all my dragon bones. A friend has a gilded altar and was burying bones. So I joined her. This has got to be the fastest xp in the game.
75 Herblore. Super energy pots. I realized I had about 1100 herbs in my bank. More then enough to level. Plus, I was low on cash. So I made them, bought the fungi and made a small profit.
79 HP. Been working slayer. Not much more to it. But you know the other levels are coming combat wise.
79 Cooking. Cooked the rest of the fish from my fishing run. Should keep me supplied through 76 or so slayer. Hopefully.
Otherwise, I've been doing my daily farming/battlestaff/bork runs. Once I hit 1800 I'll slow down again.

Racing a friend now.
Friend let me use her gilded altar. My first time really at a gilded altar. Kind of awkward but still managed to get to 73 Prayer.
Been doing slayer and ran out of food. Headed up to Piscatoris. Had a lot of reading to do for other stuff so I fished and read. Got autologged more then I liked but finally got the screen etc set up right. Got 2 fishing levels so ended up at 76 Fishing. Which is great since that's the level for sharks. Cooked and got to 78 Cooking. Then ran to my house and used up some more planks I had. 67 Construction.
Toss in the a few farming rounds and that's been the last few days. Pushing hard for 1800.
Did Tears. Got 151 and that pushed me to 47 Summoning.
1772 total

Got this idea in my head. Hit 1750 levels. Looked through my skills and saw that cooking was only 10k away. Ok, that's easy. Grabbed 77 Cooking really quick with the monks I had in my bank. Did my usual run of farming, Surok killing etc. Realized I needed to convert my battlestaffs into air staffs or else I'd be broke quickly. Made up a bunch of cosmics and then orbs and then air staffs. By the time I finished that I realized I could level crafting pretty quickly. I still have a stockpile of gold bars in my bank from smithing. So I made a bunch of jewelry I wanted (dueling rings and some game necklaces). Then I saw.....the 228 blue dragon skins I had from slayer! Off to Al-Kharid.
I alternated tanning the skins and high alching the staffs and blue d'hide bodies. Repaired my cash position and then some. Love it. And finally got 76 Crafting. That's why I rarely sell stuff (though lately I've been selling potions high and buying seconds low).
And 1750 levels :D.

Since Thursday I've been focusing on getting my bank cleaned out, planting as many seeds as I can and getting a few levels to help me when I take off on my month of slayering :D.
Sold off a lot of gear I didn't need in my bank. Got on Lunars and refilled about 2k vials. Every so often I'd make a lap at Waterbirth Island and gathered Snape Grass. I misread the quantity of Ranarrs I had so ended up with 200 extra Snape Grass. Sold them on GE. Considering how incredibly fast I gathered them I was very pleased with the 80k I made.
Hit 71 Fletching by making yew longs-unstrung. Sold them on the GE.
Made pots. Started with what I had on hand. Then went to Falador and gathered blue dragon scales for both lantadyme and kwuarm. Then off to Morty Myre for a lot of Fungi. Got to 71 Herblore. I really want 72 before I start just so I can make a bunch of Range pots to speed up slaying.
Cooked about 500 swordies (from my kingdom) and monks (did a touch of fishing). Got to 76 Cooking.
Finally got to 75 Woodcutting. Total of 1681 Levels. (Edit: Oops...originally said 1781 :D)
Was hoping for 1700 levels by the end of the month but Summoning has been a lot tougher then I thought it would be.
Did my skeletons assignment since I was in Edge waiting for a friend. Used mage. Getting pretty close to leveling slayer. May do that before the end of the month.
I'd like to get the following levels before starting up on my slaying run:
72 Herblore (see above)
77 Farming (just cause)
72 Prayer (cause I'm close, I have enough shade remains to get there.)
And I want 1,000 cannonballs, 1,000 fish and 1,000 chinchompas. (I have quite a few of both but I'll get those stocks up.)
