I was closing in on 2400 and wanted to finish it before Christmas. So I pushed hard and got to 94 Fletching which brings all my skills to at least 94. With the assists I had been getting smithing xp and was coasting along. I dug out all the ores I had at a clan event and superheated a bunch of them. Then I found 2 half used sc hammers. I can free up and two bank spaces? Woohoo!! With dungeoneering bankspace is at a premium for me so I finished those out and got to 95 Smithing. So at this point I was sitting at 2396 and really wanted to just get 2400. I started looking at the effigies I had banked. I found a few woodcutting ones and got my hands on an axeman's folly. That gave me a couple of lamps that I used for Runecrafting. Then I found 4 thieving/construction 97's. I am not a fan of thieving and can always do assists for construction, but I decided I really wanted the bankspace more. So to my house, brewed up some tea, opened the effigies and hit 95 Construction and using the lamps on Runecrafting hit 95 Runecrafting. (side note: If you do rc effigies 91 and 93 are a pain to find. 95 is very easy. Something to look forward to).
About this time a friend asked me to join him dungeoneering. We ran through a few floors and when I looked it was 1am. I've got some time off work so this wasn't a big deal. But I also saw that I had gotten enough crimsons for 99 summoning. (Blues are too pricey for me). So I spent some dungeoneering points and got to 96 Dungeoneering. All that was left was 4 trips to the summoning obelisk in Gu'tanoth (I needed to buy shards too) and I found myself with 99 Summoning and 2400 total levels.

Well it's been raining here so most of my plans this weekend got canceled. So lots of RS time (and laundry, and vacuuming etc).
Got to 91 Fishing, 95 Crafting, 63 Dungeoneering, 97 Summoning and 94 Woodcutting. It may sound like a lot but to be honest.....it's been weeks in the making. Crafting is a function of rocks and air battlestaffs. So I can pretty much predict when I'll level that since it's really the only two things I do.
Fishing, rocks and fish flinging. I use up all 10 tickets a week so that's about 175k xp there. Rocks are good for another 10k.
Woodcutting, rocks. More rocks. I think I did 2 evil trees this month. Haven't farmed any trees. Oh....Jade Vine. Didn't realize it gave woodcutting exp (yes, been hitting it almost every day since it came out). Went to kill it and got my level! Oh and I do a tiny bit of woodcutting while dungeoneering.
Summoning. Was about 200k short of 97 after double xp weekend. But I could make pack yaks, was broke and didn't really want to deal with anymore summoning. Made some pouches to make scrolls but not much else. Then I realized I could cash in all the iron titans and replenish my shards. Plus, I made about 50k xp making pouches in dungeoneering.
And dungeoneering. Did a few large 5:5 floors and I'm hooked!! Xp is so much better in a group, even if it's just a duo. Duo'ed fl30 with a friend. We got killed and while restocking the boss fell over dead from the poison!! Which was good since we hadn't stockpiled food. Just another argument that poisoned spears are the best weapons. Did floor 31 and ended up with about 40k xp. Which tells me when the dungeoneering update comes out the high levels can probably make close to 80k an hour or more.

Day one of bonus xp weekend.
Did a bunch of summoning. Used up my greens and golds the night before. Not much xp in them but I wanted to be as close to 96 as possible as I was concerned about running out of iron plates before I got to pack yaks. Shouldn't have been concerned, I had 100 left over. Anyways, 96 Summoning!! Pack Yaks!! I've been thinking about this. Ever since Bork came out I think I've only missed a dozen days of killing him. Bork being the main source of charms with a bit of slayer thrown in. At 96 summoning there's really nothing else to do but get 99. And from 88 slayer I should get more then enough charms for 99 summoning. On the other hand, the time I'll save not messing around with Bork will help other levels. (I'm also going to ease off the jade vine since it really breaks up my training. I may do them both a few times a week when it's convenient).
Then I did herblore. This is what I've preparing for the last 2 weeks. Got from 90 to 94 Herblore with (I hope) enough supplies to push for 95 today. I really wanted 96 but realized I didn't have the cash. Was hoping to get past 94 and I'm there already so I'm pretty pleased.

Well after a few weeks of no leveling I leveled in a fury the last few days.
Got to 88 Fletching a couple days ago.
Last night used every single one of my blues, golds and greens and got to 95 Summoning. I've got about 75% of the charms for 96(Pack Yaks!!) but not nearly enough cash to get there. Need about 9million GP so it'll be awhile. Might go back to doing RC for a bit.
Then realized I was only 18k from 90 Herblore so did that!
2181 now.

Got to 94 Summoning over the weekend. Couldn't buy water talismans so no blues. So lots of gold (Terrorbirds) and greens (Random bank cleanout) plus penguins. Wasn't pretty but a level is a level. Had a big clan event and offered bones like crazy on a gilded altar......and got nothing. The distance between levels is getting crazier and crazier.
Did a bunch of runecrafting. Having some thoughts about using penguin points on it to get to 91 quicker. Only skills I could see using the points are on prayer and summoning. But I can train both very fast (expensive but fast). Still thinking on that one.
I've started a number of guides and articles and haven't finished a single one. Still trying to focus on one thing.
For those of you who like reading RS blogs I've added a list in the right hand column that shows all the RS blogs I read. You can click on the link at the bottom and see all of their latest posts.
Or if you really wanted to get serious get a blog reader. (I use reader.google.com) Add in the links to the blogs you read and it'll pull down the latest posts. Since I read a lot of non RS stuff I have folders for all my areas of interest. Makes it eaiser to read the latest content from dozens of sites. It comes to you instead of you going to all of them.

Today was all about finishing the elite Ardougne tasks.
First, 93 Summoning. I used all my blue charms on Geyser Titans. Expensive but very good xp. Then I did the calculations and realized that I needed to make Wolpertinger's to have any chance at all of hitting 93 with the charms I had. This is where things got interesting. I realized this the previous night actually and asked some friends to buy raw rabbits for me in Oo'log. (You can buy 100 a day) For the record, these are impossible to buy on the GE. Wolf bones were easy to buy but no bunnies. So I started making the pouches. Two item pouch creation is a pain. I finally figured out that if I had my pouch, shards and charms and then a random 4th item then I could withdraw 18 bones and then "max" out my rabbit withdrawal. Then put into my terrorbird all the rabbits and bones. That'd be 6 of each. Then take out 18 rabbits. So basically set x=18 when withdrawing and the rest is the "all" button. (It's hard to explain but try it if you really want to). Anyways, I made pouches like crazy and two good friends went to Miscellania and slaughtered bunnies. By the time I ran out of the store bought ones they had gotten enough of the natural ones that I could get the level.
And by the way, this whole thing was expensive and I used up nearly all my cash. However, at level 93 you can trade in all your Wolpertinger's for shards so now I have tons of shards for my next push.
After that it was gold smelting and a few bars of knives to get 86 Smithing.
Then off to Evil Dave's basement where I caught rats. Lots of rats. Hate that. Another friend had stockpiled some stews and gave me some. After much messing around and stupidity on my part I got a 5 level boost. That allowed me to make the rune limb. (By the way, you don't need to alch the rune bars yourself. And once you do one step for the task a little list will show what other steps you need to do.)
So now it's getting rather late but I was able to convince some friends to go do fishing trawler with me. And they invited friends and so on and so on. Ended up playing two games just for the fun of it. After that I headed to the ZMI with my pouches and my titan and that finished off the diary.

Spent the day on Summoning. As usual with Sundays I hunted up the penguins I had not found during the week. Than I decided that I should burn through all my charms.
Started out mining up a bunch of granite. Took a chisel, 7 500g granite pieces and filled up my tortoise and myself with larger pieces. This allowed me to create 300+ pouches each trip!! I use Bogrog for this since I can trade in the pouches right there.
Just a couple of trips like that and hit 89 Summoning. I'd been buying 100k gp worth of water talismans a week. I stopped at the GE and bought 1k more.
Back to Castle Wars and loaded up this time with 4 raw birds, gold and blue charms, pouches, shards and the rest of the room was talismans. (Spirit Terrorbird for this piece of it for some reason). I'd run to Bogrog, make my 4 terrorbird pouches, swap them in. Then make geyser pouches using. Then, used my 4 free spots to juggle talismans and pouches between myself and the terrorbird.
I got level 90 and 91 Summoning. And burned through about 5 million. Finally was able to trade in the Geyser Titan pouches I made. Then went and talked to Chuck and cashed in my penguin points (I like to get my levels first so I get a bit more xp).
My method of using penguins and lamps on summoning has pretty much wound down. I had too many charms to keep sitting there waiting. I really really want the pack yak. And with penguins alone I'm at about 20 weeks away from my next summoning level. So I expect to be doing a lot more summoning and trying to grab levels faster instead of just sitting back and waiting.

84 Herblore on the 15th
87 Summoning on the 16th
Got to kill the Odd Man's Skeletal Beast thing. A little disappointed. I can kill the Jade Vine Daily for 2x the xp that I get for the skeletal beast. And the beast was a harder quest.
Anyways, it seems that Jagex is loving these little mini-distractions and diversions.
I'm almost used to not farming anymore. So now the pattern is Jade Vine, Bork, Battlestaffs, Flax, Sand, Pineapples, Seaweed. Although I'm only really consistent about the first 3.
I've been doing a lot of runecrafting and herblore. Herblore when I'm standing around waiting for someone and runecrafting the rest of the time. Not the most exicting skill but making good money.
I think my next goal is going to be all 85 by Halloween. That'll be my 3 year anniversary. Was thinking of that for awhile and wasn't sure if I would be able to get it. But I think I'm getting pretty close and it's doable in the time allowed.

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.

85 Summoning. Used 46 penguin points. Made a few other things to get to 85. Going to make up some swamp titans next time I do slayer (feels like it's been a long time since I did slayer).
I've been checking the official forums lately. I like taking a quick cruise there at lunch, see if there's any hidden updates or any other good stuff. F2P can now use the forums. Good for them!! There's a lot of idiots on there saying "omg, no f2p on forums. Members are getting ripped off."
Oh, really? How is it even possible that f2p getting forums makes your membership less valuable?
People are complaining about more spam. Really? Cause I think p2p has done a great job of spamming and idiot posts before. There's plenty of threads posted on "how long will it take to get 1-99 wc" "i need money" or my favorite (found this yesterday) "skils are lame. jagexx shuld mak more melee stuf. i am lvl 76. noobs have 2 much gud stuf. high lvls need stuf so i can get more stuf." The forums were a mix of good quality posts and idiot spammers and incomprehensible leet speakers. This is not going to change a thing.
F2p is going to ask for more f2p stuff. Sure. Fine. Ask away. Some of them might have a really great idea for new content that benefits EVERYBODY!! how many hundreds of posts have been made along the lines of "i want a pony" "i want cars" " i want ninjas" . Do you see us having ponies/cars/ninjas in RS?
I pay for members. F2p are freeloaders/playing the demo. Uhm....Jagex is a VERY profitable company. Profitable companies are profitable because they MAKE MONEY! That's pretty much the magic formula profit=more money less costs. If you think your $5 a month covers the cost of your account you are crazy, stupid or both. Developers cost money. Servers cost money. Bandwidth costs money. Receptionists cost moneys. Lawyers cost lots of money. So does rent. The F2P people cover their costs. Not like members do (by providing a credit card or whatever) but by watching ads and other stuff. There's nothing new here. There are plenty of sites on the web where you can either buy membership or watch a 30 sec commercial before getting to the content you want. Trust me on this, Jagex is making money on f2p. If they didn't they wouldn't do it. It's too expensive to pay for servers/bandwidth/etc.
You get a TON of stuff that F2P doesn't by paying $5. What's $5? For me it's a coffee and donut. Sorry, and I know it will offend some of you....but it's spare change. It's not worth getting your undies in a knot about paying for. "omg I'm better then you because I can pay $5". Bah!
F2P doesn't deserve a voice because they don't pay. Yeah they do. Just not like you do (see the comment above about watching ads). I'll say this about Runescape and it applies to real life just the same. Not allowing people to speak based on how much they are paying in or taking out is wrong. It's immoral and it goes against both American and British political and cultural traditions. (Minus the occasional digressions that have almost always come around to bite us in the butt). To say that some people do not get a voice because they do not have money.....I would think long and hard about this. Because the next logical thing to say is "you should have less of a voice because you have less money". That never turns out well.....for anyone.
What I would LOVE TO SEE is that Jagex extend their requirements for F2p to get forum access (currently 12.5million xp) to 12.5 million xp ANd at least level 40 in 4 skills. And enforce that on MEMBERS AND NON MEMBERS BOTH!
Ok I'm tired from all that ranting. And I should clean it up. But I think I'll just hit Post.

Got a new job so been a bit distracted. Got 84 Summoning though. And 93 Firemaking. Been mostly just doing my daily tasks and running in circles. Not sure about 97 but will definitely get 96 agility this month.
Woodcutting is flying by too. I'm thinking of spending March on hunter. During vacation period it's too hard to hunt and I do want to get some levels in it this year.

So far many things have come together today.
Did the circus. Got to 82 Range and 88 Magic. Considering I haven't been actively working these skills I'm pretty happy. I get mage xp just by doing stuff (teleporting, alching stuff, making jewelry that I need), range is mostly via circus lately.
After yesterday's Seer's village I decided I needed to do a lot of bank clean out. Had a bunch of random items for summoning so got working on that. 83 Summoning. Probably going to be a while before I level it again. Plenty of charms, just not tons of seconds.
Hit 2 stars today and got to 85 Mining. Never cared for mining and once I got what I needed for questing I really quit doing it seriously. Gotten my last 5 mining levels with stars and loving it.

Made it to 7,000,000 agility. I can easily clear 45k an hour at Goblin with 55k an hour if I pay attention. That's a lot better then I've been getting at Ape. I'm not saying that this is true for everyone, but for me I've tested it enough to know what I'm going with.
Otherwise, it's stars, farming rounds, battlestaffs, jade vine and bork.
Did the new quest (In Pyre Need)
Easiest quest. Ever. Any and all.
Loved the xp reward (41k total) for 5 minutes of work that didn't cost me anything.
I liked the 5k experience for killing the Phoenix the first time.
I'm not interested in doing it daily. I might someday but for me the combat is a headached and the XP isn't that great for what it distracts me from.
Cashed in my penguin points and made a few pouches and got to 82 Summoning.

Slayer 81.
Thieving 83.
Spent an hour burning logs this morning.
Thieving, Pyramid Plunder. Only took about an hour 45 minutes.
Got the slayer level by Jade Vine and Bork and one assignment. Took a few months. Nicely dovetailed with this effort though. If it hadn't I'd probably have done slayer most of the day. Hadn't really planned for it to happen this way but once I made my goal last month I figured that as long as I killed the Jade Vine daily I'd get this level without any other efforts (well, bork killing). So I didn't have to work it really. Gave me more time for other skills.
Used Superheat to smelt all my ores.
Cleaned out the junk in my bank by Summoning. Hit 81 Summoning.

Finally, after 10 hours, finished that quest. May have gone faster but I was doing parts with friends and we messed around. Used all that xp on construction, summoning and runecrafting (x2). That got me to 78 Summoning and 81 Runecrafting.
If you do it (and no spoilers here) I'd suggest taking energy pots and never getting below 50% energy. Allows for better running for your life. And don't wear/carry anything you can't lose.
Spent the last two nights fighting Tormented Demons. No great drops but lots of fun. Got some decent xp from the fights.
Got 81 Prayer by using up the last of my dragon bones.
1975 levels.

Went a little crazy. Had a few days off and realized how close I was getting to a number of levels so:
74,75,76,77 Summoning
86 Magic
85 Crafting
Crafting creeps up due to air battlestaffs. Mage from high alching them. Then I did a little bank cleanout and replenished my jewelry supply.
Summoning, well....I've been saving all my charms for a long time. Got to 73 summoning and realized that I could cash in all the bunyip pouches I had made. That gave me enough shards to make a lot of mithril minotaurs. And cashed them in, rinse, repeat.....got all the way to 77 and then a bit more.

Finally got to 91 Agility. It would go so much faster if I were more focused. I've been trying to do my daily rounds and then 1 hour a night of agility. So far it's been slow steady progress.
Also got 73 Summoning two days ago from Tears. Other then penguins and tears and I'm not really working summoning.
I've also played a few rounds of stealing creation. I really really enjoy this. The fletching tool gives an extra 25 xp per mage log. A lot of other things seem bugged so I'm going to hold off on further evaluation until it gets fixed.
1958 total levels

So for the last few days I've managed to get:
90 Agility. So that's all my goals for the month.
72 Summoning. Used up all my goulash from the quest along with making a few bunyips. In one more level I can start trading in some bunyip pouches for shards.
83 Firemaking. I've been burning maples logs. I've got a few thousand shade remains of various sorts. I'm thinking of doing shade burning on weekends when I have enough time to be efficient about it.
1955 levels and a ranking in the top 20k.
Considering this is the end of my 2nd year I'm pretty pleased. I'm not sure what next year's goals are going to be yet (feel free to leave a comment if you have a suggestion). I'm thinking of getting a couple capes but I want some other kind of goal. Not sure what yet.
In the meantime I've been working on agility during the week. I do my daily tasks and then run some laps.

Been busy traveling the last few days. So a little RS time (I love that I can get wireless anywhere. Makes up a little for being stuck in an airport).
Hit 71 Summoning and 79 Construction. Two more levels til I reach one of my goals.
I've been smithing my mithril into bolts and then finishing them and selling them to buy planks. Finally have enough planks. Going to go ahead and finish with all my ores. Then mithril armorstands til 80 smithing then I'll go for the oak larders for some speed.
I'd really love to end my second year ranked in the top 20k. I need 1950 for that. (At the start of the month it was 1948). So I'm going to guess by the end of the month I'll need 1952. That's what I'm aiming for at least.
