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.

98 Slayer, 98 Defense, Attack and Strength.
I finally gave in and got a chaotic rapier halfway between 97 and 98
I finally gave in and got a chaotic rapier halfway between 97 and 98. Love using it on metal dragons. I don't use it on anything I can kill faster then they spawn. For that a whip is fine and I don't have to pay to recharge it.
I bought the bonecrusher and herbicide a while back. Wasn't sure about the bonecrusher when I got it but I wanted to test it. I have to say....I love taking these with me to assignments. It's not about the xp benefit. While nice I have 99 Prayer and the herblore xp is trivial. But what I love about it is that it keeps my slaying area clean. Which translates into more gp. For example, if I'm cannoning spectres....any herbs that I see I grab. I don't have to check what it is. If the herbicide doesn't instantly destroy it then I know I want it. If I see something on the ground I know it's worth looking at (well...except the junk armor). Keeping the area uncluttered just makes things easier.
I went and spent some time at Livid Farm last week. 10 minutes...I'm fine. 30 minutes it's getting to me. A full hour....that's a struggle. I've been making it a clan event which helps a bit. But I am thinking of just doing 10 minutes a day. Yes, it will take forever but the spell I want (group venge) I only need once I start seriously dungeoneering so I have some time.

Took a day or two to recover from bonus xp weekend. Got 97 Attack, Strength and Defense before returning to thieving to pick up 98 Thieving. Our clan has a competition this week for thieving so aiming for 99 during that week. Then full bore into 99 hp after that (don't tell me it's constitution).
In the last few months I've become increasingly irritated with Jagex's decisions. The bugs, quite honestly, don't bother me. I understand lots of lines of code, millions of users....guaranteed bugs.
Bonus weekends meh. Yes they make things easier but it's a game and I get it. Wish it was better executed but it's minor.
Nope...the thing that makes me facepalm is twofold:
1) Why why why is a Jmod (Mod Poppy) starting a clan? Seriously? There's hundreds of people running hundreds of clans and Jagex starts their own? I don't get it. I know it's the year of clans (in fact, I think I said it before Jagex did :) ) but come on. Jmods have a huge advantage to running clans (think of recruitment) and a Jagex run clan is not within anyone's definition of what a clan is about. It should be about players forming groups of friends to do stuff. I realize that this is part of community outreach but it just hits me wrong. Normally not something I would rant about or even go beyond "meh" with but then
2) What the hell Jagex? Kicking off clan month the same weekend as bonus weekend? How does that make sense? What in the hell were you thinking? There's exactly 6 days a year that EVERYONE pretty much goes heads down into skilling and you had to pick 3 of them to kick off clan month? What about the other 10 months of the year?

Jan 15- 96 Mining
Jan 16-96 Attack
Jan 17-96 Defense
Jan 19-98 Dungeoneering
Jan 25-96 Strength
Jan 27-97 Magic
Jan 30-99 Dungeoneering
Nearly a whole month of not posting and not much skilling. My apologies. I usually post while I'm doing an afkable skill and there's no way to afk Dungeoneering.
That and at Christmas dinner some friends started talking about Glee. I thought this was the dumbest show I'd ever heard of since Knight Rider. But then I decided to check out an episde on Hulu. So then I had to watch the first 1.5 seasons that I missed out on. And for some of them I had to rewind and play again because they were fun. So the short story is, sorry but blame Glee for my lack of posts.
(And no, I have not rage quit since Wildy is coming back).

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.

Mad scramble before the holidays in the real world is impinging on my 'scaping.
I have managed to get a bunch of levels since my last post though:
93 Ranged, 94 Strength, 94 Attack, 94 Defense all through a combination of circus/slayer/dungeoneering.
I got burned out on dungeoneering after I hit 94 Dungeoneering and pretty much quit doing it except with a few friends. Tried to do a large floor last night and it was a miserable experience. Not because I don't like it, but because I kind of forgot what to do. Going to do some solo floors over the next few days to get used to it again. Mostly slayed since last week. Got 2 whips and sold them and some other stuff from slaying and bought a lot of dragon bones. Ran through 3 pack yaks of altaring bones and getting close to leveling. I have 98 banked and a bit beyond that. 99 Prayer may be doable by the end of December. It really depends though on how much dungeoneering I do.
I'm thinking of 3 days of dungeoneering and 3 days of slaying a week. I keep getting asked when I'll get my next 99 or if I'm going for all 99's at once. To be honest, I don't "go for 99" because I get bored along the way. So I switch skills every few days. Which makes it look like I'm going for all skills 99 at once.
Anyways, decided that my next goal is 2400 total levels. It's pretty attainable (January?) and buys me time to figure out what I want to do next.

An incredibly busy week. Finally really got the hang of dungeoneering and got 88 and 89 Dungeoneering. Still a mix of friends and w117 randoms. Getting pretty good at getting into a floor and getting through them quickly. Learning a few tricks here and there.
Also got 93 Smithing and 94 Construction with effigy assists and smelting little amounts of gold ore while waiting for people. What I really want are 91 RC assists but they are hard to find. And if a friend needs an assist I'm happy to help if I can. So I have been getting some runecraft assists. I see a lot of people looking to do assists in runecrafting and farming. Hard to find people for construction and smithing. So I take what I can quickly and figure that I can use penguins/lamps/diaries to get to 93 and maybe have a broader scope of people to go after.
Got a little burned out on dungeoneering. It's a high focus skill. So I did some slaying. I love hellhound tasks now! It's so easy to cannon them in the Taverly resource dungeon (the one you can access after level 40 or whatever Dungeoneering). I've had 3 tasks there and never seen anyone there. Set up a cannon and go. It's not as fast as mutated bloodvelds because of how the spawns are set up but it's a lot faster then just meleeing them. Plus, since they don't drop much it's easier to grab what you want and go full throttle.
Got a few clues. Nothing exciting except that I got a Saradomin Platebody! It's my second one so I sold it and bought the full helm and have a request in for the shield so I can complete the set.
Otherwise I'm looking for a team to do floor 45 with. Or I may just go w117 it on Thursday or Friday. Kind of switching between slaying and dungeoneering with a bit of fletching/smithing/crafting while I stand around semi afk.
And right before posting this I hit 93 Attack and 93 Defense while finishing an Abyssal Demon task. That's 2359 total levels now.

Busy few days. Managed to get 96 Magic a few days ago. It's so much a skill a train as a skill I use and happen to get XP. The only thing I do that gives alot of xp would be alching all those air battlestaffs I make. Otherwise it's just little bits and pieces from teleporting, dungeoneering etc. (Which is why I'm not very helpful if asked how to train Magic.)
Did a bunch of slaying and got to 92 Attack and Defense. I finished my task right after I got these levels and went to 117 Daemonheim to see about doing some assists. I was 6k xp away from 92 Strength and 130 Combat. I saw a guy advertising for floor 40 and traded him so I could join. He invited me, I was looking at my teams stats, and found myself booted. 130+only! Oops.
So I went and did 2 dungeons and got the xp and 92 Strength. And 130 combat. I guess that's good because I can use W117 now and get easier teams. But to be honest, I don't really want to. I'm slow at dungeoneering, I get tangled up in combat. And I have a lot of friends who atm are training like crazy so I tag along with them.
Which lead to 94 Constitution and 85 Dungeoneering for a total level of 2350.
And then 86 Dungeoneering for the fun of it.
So I've reached my goal at the beginning of this year. As I reach my 4th anniversary I have all skills to at least 92 and a few to 96. (If last year they were below 92 I wanted to get 92 and below 96 get them to 96). I got a few skills (mining, herblore, constitution, summoning) way past that.
Now I've got a month left in this year to think about what I want to do next year. I'd really love to get 90 Dungeoneering this month too, we'll see.

Nearly done with all the end of summer house maintenance. Not had much time to skill or blog. Got to 91 Attack, Defense, Strength and 92 Hitpoints. Hit 79 Dungeoneering. Probably some other skills or two and hit 2326 total.
Been thinking about what to do for bonus xp weekend.
Agility, Farming and Hunter are off the table.
I can get better XP using SC tools with mining, woodcutting,fletching, smithing, construction.
Firemaking I'd rather use my gauntlets and ring. And at 97 I have no use to raise it at the moment.
Wasteful to use it on Summoning (at least in the first 10 hours). Same with dungeoneering and prayer.
Slayer is tempting.
Magic may be but....can't get excited about it.
Herblore....got 96...close to 97. But it'll be expensive. And I can sell the herbs and seconds that I have for a lot of cash. Hmmmm.....
Crafting. Battlestaffs. Tempting....not excited though.
Thieving....dislike it but at double xp and I don't have to fight people for room....tempting.
Fishing, cooking, runecrafting are potentials.
I'm putting together 2 lists.....1.1 xp and the first ten hours.
First ten hours:
Circus-should take 3 mins and give me a bucketload of mage and range xp.
Herblore (just making overloads and sara brews as I don't need anything else and don't want to lose a bunch of money making pots I won't use).
Crafting-battlestaffs and cutting gems. Should be fast easy cheap.
Thieving. Was thinking of doing runecrafting. One more week of penguins and rocks should put me at 91. After that I can assist......
Cooking/Fishing-I might do this if I get bored with thieving. But I enjoy these both and kind of think I'll spend the time working on skills I dislike.
After 10 hours:
Slayer and dungeoneering. I'm thinking of just small rushing all floors. 10% doesn't sound like much but it all helps.
Any thoughts?

Got to 89 Defense and 89 Attack last night. I think my goal in May will be 2290 total levels (so a gain of about 26 levels). I'd like to hit 2300 in June (along with all skills 90…..hmmm….maybe I'll work on all skills 90 for May). (Of course, all skills but dungeoneering I mean)
The trip from 2200-2300 is certainly going faster then 2100-2200. But 2300-2400 is going to be a killer. There was a time I thought I may want to try to get all 99's. I'm really not seeing that happening now. I did the math and I'm about 55% of the way to all 99's MINUS dungeoneering. Granted, I am not the most efficient player in the world. But I'm also not one to stand around and do nothing. I think I play in a pretty typically semi-social, semi-efficient manner.
Anyways, just a thought. Over my cold and catching up with housework and stuff. Back to rock collecting for now :D

I think I'm finally beating my (RL) cold. Which was probably a level 130. And yes, when I'm sick in RL I play differently. Hardly chat, don't want to do anything that requires focus or even a brain cell.
Anyways, got to 89 Defense doing slayer. Did some tasks that were slow and easy. Bit of Tears (note: doing Dungeoneering with a cold is a bad bad idea) up to 46 Dungeoneering.
And knocked out the new "capers" for 89 Thieving.
Mostly working on gathering rocks, doing fish flingers and mining stars. Would have loved to do more dungeoneering but really didn't want to get tied into something that long.
I did try to take on Jad. Well, Kuradel suggested that she'd give me a bonus if I did. So what the heck. I didn't think I'd get all the way through but I had a great run. And then decided to just finish the task in the Fight Caves. It's safe, you die and you respawn outside with full health and prayer. Went pretty fast. I think when I next get asked to go deal with Jad I'll get all the way to him and end up owning a firecape.

Got to 88 Attack and Defense. Should get strength tonight. Been working hard on slayer to get summoning charms.
I got abyssal demons task and decided to use my Familiarisation bonus on them.
I easily got 60 shards this time. I turned off run at about 50 and only used it to escape things that were trying to get me. Even walking I had plenty of time. I would get a shard and then look around and get the next one. Worked my way north to south and back. Abyssals aren't the best charm droppers but I figured good enough.

2175 levels (yes, I know about the typo in my previous post).
87 Attack
87 Defense
88 Slayer
88 Runecrafting
86 Construction
That looks like a lot but keep this in mind:
I haven't leveled Construction in a long time, I get tears for it every week and I have tons of stealing creation hammers.
I've been working trying to work runecrafting at least every other day this month.
All the combat stuff is due to trying to get in one slayer task a week plus daily bork/jade vine etc.
So basically, what I"m saying is that I'm unfocused but every so often all those numbers get small enough that I can crank out a bunch of levels.

Ok. So I messed around and am posting this late. Basically, I just was waiting to see if I had anything special to post but I dont' really. So let's get on with it.
I finished the Elite Ardougne tasks and used them on Summoning. After pushing hard for my last level I realized how incredibly expensive it is. Fast, but still expensive.
Did some melee work and got 86 Attack, Defense and Strength. Then worked on mining. I'll admit, other then some fooling around in the new Living Caverns I haven't mined anything but stars in the last 10 levels. And I was reminded why. It's soooo boring but you still have to pay attention. I finally just went to the living caverns and mined there. At least that was bearable. Slow, got hit in the head with a few rocks but ended up with 88 Mining.

I'll admit, other then some fooling around in the new Living Caverns I haven't mined anything but stars in the last 10 levels. And I was reminded why. It's soooo boring but you still have to pay attention. I finally just went to the living caverns and mined there. At least that was bearable. Slow, got hit in the head with a few rocks but ended up with 88 Mining.
And that ends year 3 with 2145 levels and all diaries and quests done. What to do in the next year? No idea. There's no 99 I really want at the moment. 96 Summoning looks good. Kind of want 91 RC. 90 Mining would be good for stars, but nothing really exciting.....yet.

83 Attack, 83 Defense, 83 Strength.
Cranking through slayer. Doing a little ranging of them when necessary but mostly just melee. Nothing much to report about the tasks. Should get to 85 slayer soon and those popular abyssals will be mine.

Busy weekend. Was getting close to some levels and my big goal of 2100.
So....knocked out a waterfiends task, got a rune defender, started on a Black Demons task and got 83 Defense.....83 Strength....83 Attack.
Cleaned up junk in my bank. Hit 91 Crafting. Alched some of it and got to 91 Magic. Spent most of the weekend at ZMI running around like crazy. Finally pushed it to 83 Runecrafting.
Hunted some penguins on Sunday morning and used it to get 87 Summoning.
My friend Cross had an open altar last night and thanks to that I can check off 86 Prayer.
That's 8 and 2099 in 3 days.
And no, I didn't no life this weekend. All but prayer and rc were below 50k at the start of the weekend. It's just that chipping away at some skills from bork killing, battlestaffs etc came together and I just mopped up with 10 minutes or so of working on a skill.

Great couple of days.
Got to 89 Woodcutting on the 27th thanks to an Evil Tree. I think Jagex really thought through the Stars and made some changes that make the evil trees a great little distraction. Not saying it's great xp but it's not bad. And the leprechaun magic I love! That and it's another way to get seeds so I'm happy with that.
Then I hit 96 Hunting on the 27th as well. Just hitting recd chins. Found a great spot that I can easily get over 300 an hour.My goal for this month was 97. Not sure I'm going to make it but I'll be close.
Then went to kill Bork and got to 82 Defense and 82 Attack. So that brings all my combat related skills up to 82.
2055 total. So I at least reached that part of this month's goals :D

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 figured out what happened (I think) with the high scores glitch I saw. I closed my browser instead of nicely logging out. So I logged back in and logged out and there it was. I wonder what would have happened if I had tried to change worlds.
Anyways, I continue to spend my time yelling at the Olympics. Mostly cheering on the Americans, Brits, Aussies and anyone from some country that really doesn't stand at chance at getting many medals. If I've never heard of it I've probably cheered for that athlete. There's some great sports that I wish American TV would show more of. I mean, we get baseball/tennis/basketball all the time. How about some team handball or judo or badminton (well, maybe not badminton).
So anyways.....I got to 79 Firemaking. I'm burning maples in Oo'log. I use a pyrelord for the extra 10 points a log (270 pts each load). After 2 pyrelords I run outside the western gate of Oo'log and replenish my summoning xp. I then cut a load of Eucalyptus and run back. This breaks it up enough to be interesting. (Pyrelord is about 32 minutes so the whole cycle is a little more then an hour).
Was getting closer to 80 in my melee skills so after I killed Bork 2 nights ago I hopped over to the fire giants and finsished my slayer task. Talked to Duradel again and after turning down steel dragons got fire giants again. Back to the chaos tunnels and got 80 Strength, 80 Defense and 80 Attack. I took a fully loaded Spirit Terrorbird. They do some damage and allow me more food going in and loot going out.
I'm now honestly surprised a bit by how many people I see in combat with decently high levels who don't use a summoning familiar. At the lower levels I'd imagine they would be even more valuable. I certainly could have used all the help I could get in fighting and hauling stuff.

Last night I got to 75 Mining. I got fortunate and found a good clan chat to pass the time. Otherwise it's dull.
When I was making all those pouches for the Spirit of Summer quest I decided to make a few pyrelord pouches. If you have a pyrelord summoned it's an extra 10xp per log, 270 xp per load. Was very pleased to see how it worked. In no time at all got to 75 Firemaking. That concludes my mad dash to 75. Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.
I lost my steel defender the night before while messing around with Bork. Decided to work on getting a rune defender again. Got to 79 Attack, 79 Strength and 79 Defense gathering the tokens. Once I get a rune defender I'll start killing abyssal critters for a giant runecrafting pouch. Then the push to all 80's. May start with firemaking.....not sure yet....less then 50 levels to go.
Edit: Got another cooking level. Needed to get some food together to keep bork/jade vine destroying and to get to 80 thieving. 81 Cooking.
