99 Fishing
99 Construction
99 Woodcutting
Maxed cape.
Monks, used up planks from slayer and luckily had done enough assists that I was only 300k away. I could have waited 10 days and done assists but wanted it done before bonus xp weekend.
Woodcutting sawmill. Love it.
Did not have a party. Told a handful of friends and that was it.

Haven't been posting much. Been heads down in skilling.
Been doing bits of dungeoneering with friends and my melee skills are slowly working toward 99. Bound a primal battleaxe 100k xp short of 99 Attack. So went and found all of Clarence and been killing the various creatures in the artisan's workshop. I remember trying to find all of Clarence right after it came out. And how much I struggled and kept getting poisoned. I went this time and it took 15 minutes and wasn't any problem. Amazing what a few hundred levels (and 2 years of updates) can do.
Otherwise been working Smithing (June 27 for 97 and July 9for 98) via Artisan's Worskhop. It's expensive and not especially fast (nor especially slow) and it's one of the requirements for the Trimmed Completionist cape. No idea if I will ever go for that cape but figured I may as well get this out of the way if I ever did.
Also got a champion tacklebox. Not a huge deal but I really enjoy fish flingers. It (along with some penguins and trolls) got me to 98 Fishing.
I've been maxing out my assists since effigies came out. If my friends didn't need one I would go looking for a runecrafting assist. That finally resulted in 99 Runecrafting.
So my plan is to throw penguins and trolls at Fishing (slow, boring), do construction assists nightly (expensive) and then work my other skills in between. Looking forward to 99 smithing in a few days.

May had a successful completion. I've been pushing hard to get to 99 Slayer but kept getting delayed by my own choosing. Chasing clues, stars, penguins, quests...whatever.
I did stumble across 97 Fishing by some using a few weeks of penguins plus doing as much fish flinging as I could. I realize that the tackleboxes aren't as useful as I first thought but I enjoy the puzzle of fish flinging followed by 10 minutes of afk fishing. For that it's the fastest xp in the game.
Also hit 99 Herblore. I went about 12 days without getting an effigy then started getting multiple effigies per task! Oh yeah...I was using my effigies on fishing too. No wonder that last level went as fast as it did without my actually fishing. Anyways, along the way I hit 99 Herblore. I think the only expensive skill left to get to 99 is Construction. Summoning, Herblore and Prayer are done. Smithing I have a stockpile of gold ore thanks to all the stars.

Wow sorry about that last post. I reread it and realized that I had hacked together two different posts and neither made any sense. I really need to proofread better. On the 25th I got to 97 Runecrafting. Every single xp was either penguins, lamps or assists. I don't think I've actually earned 50,000 xp by making runes since I hit 91. I've been fairly consistent with doing my assists every night. When friends ask I usually do whatever they need but more often then not I use 117 Daemonheim or Assistclan and in those cases I only advertise runecrafting. The next day I got to 97 Slayer. I actually really like slayer and I train so many things at once that this one kind of crept up on me. Then tonight I went to a clan fishing event and got 96 Fishing. I've done a lot of fish flinging and an occasional hour of fishing with my clan and that's about it. Not sure how I want to train fishing once I decide to. I do try to do one round of fish flinging every day so that helps move it along without it being dull.

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.

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.

Fishing 90
Dungeoneering 55
Total 2265
My last 3 fishing levels all come from fish flinging and rock chasing. Pretty pleased about it. 15 minutes a day (maybe 2x on weekends). Up to a standard tackle box now too. It's not stand around and get bored fishing (and the rocks come pretty fast) so I'll probably keep flinging fish til it's not fun anymore (I suspect that'll be about the time I get a champion's tackle box).
As for dungeoneering, it just makes sense to me to limit myself to Friday and Saturday. Otherwise there's too many interruptions and other things for me to do. I'm maxed on floors but don't feel like resetting prestige. Maybe I'll do two weeks of tears, maybe I'll feel like resetting next weekend. For the most part, when I'm in the dungeons I focus on doing what I need to get to the next floor. Except.....I'm making pouches like crazy. Just picking up stuff and tapping the obelisks (so much faster now that we don't need shards or pouches). Seems pouches alch for about 75% of the smuggler price for the secondary item. So if you start with some cash you can usually use up most of your charms. The other thing is, I make a lot of potions. Both these skills are expensive and slower outside of Daemonheim then inside. When I two man a dungeon my friend goes off and cleans up the last couple rooms (assuming we've killed the boss) and I make pots and pouches. We split the xp so it's a bonus for him as my summoning is higher then his and he makes some decent xp for free. Not a style for everyone but it works for us.

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.

88 Fishing.
Got a new job and been really busy with that. Things are slowing down so I'm hoping to blog more. After the big xp weekend activities and then hitting 2200 I'm going through that I dont't know what to do with myself phase.
Until something catches my eye I think I'll just collect rocks, chase stars and fling fish. I'm sure I'll think of a new goal (all 90's is obvious since it's 20 levels away but I need to get motivated for it). I think after the big xp weekend I was so out of synch with what I usually do that I'm just kind of wandering.
I'm really like the fish flinging by the way. When I first read the update I thought it'd be kind of stupid. Now I'm getting into it. Should have a guide up this weekend.
Got a new job and been really busy with that. Things are slowing down so I'm hoping to blog more. After the big xp weekend activities and then hitting 2200 I'm going through that I dont't know what to do with myself phase.

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.

You know how you get skill in a lot of skills a tiny bit at a time? Then you look and suddenly you are about to level?
Tested stealing from chest in Dorgesh-kaan. A friend had made a map and I just wanted to see how his guide worked. His guide was great. The rewards.....hmmm....disappointing. Was hoping for more charms, got about 1 every 12 chests. Did get 86 Thieving though. Did my usual farming routine and then the spirit tree told me an evil tree was about to sprout. Went to that and then went to use Leprechaun magic (one of the best rewards in my opinion). Got to 90 Woodcutting.
Noticed I was close so went and got 83 Fishing.
I also discovered a volatile tool in my bank. So I used it up, got xp in all kinds of skills.

82 Fishing. Been fishing a bit while getting my run back in Catherby. Finally took a little time and pushed to 82 Fishing. Should have enough food for a couple months.
89 Firemaking. Realized I was close and went ahead and got the level. Which reminded me how much I want that adze.
Agility is wearing me down, decided that I'm just going to go for 50k a day in agility for awhile. Little progress every day without wearing out.

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.

Finally!! I thought that it would be no big deal to catch 800 sharks and get 80 Fishing, boy was I wrong. It took much longer then I thought it would. Shark fishing is by far slower then barbarian/monkfishing. At least now I have the sharks to go with my green charms so that when I get to summon Bunyips I'll have plenty in stock. Not that I will be getting 68 summoning anytime soon. Saving my reds and greens up and really only using Tears and Gold ones (I'll use some blue ones if I need to.) But once I get serious about slayer again I should be close to being able to summon bunyips.
Wanted to get some fast levels since I think I'm going to gear up to do some serious runecrafting. Knocked out 72 Construction and 73 Smithing. I find construction boring and annoying to train but my level in it is still low enough I can go pretty fast with my butler. The smithing level is a small milestone. Now I can smith addy bolts. I' ve been saving all my addy bars for that since that's the most effective thing I could use them for.
One more day of Construction and/or smithing then I think 10 days of runecrafting.

More fishing this morning resulting in 79 Fishing. Did an herb run and decided to get a couple of summoning levels. Just because I can :p.
Sifted through my bank and found plenty of pouches and a few thousand shards. Headed over to Oo'log and bought 900 bird meat. There's a part of me that wishes that they didn't sell bird meat/chompy meat there. I think with summoning the way it is the lower level players would have seen the creation of a market for bird meat which would make lower level hunting more attractive.
Anyways, that's neither here nor there now. Got my pile of bird meat and tele'd to Edge. Ran to fairy ring, AKQ to Piscatoris. Make pouches. Glory back. I know it's faster with a spirit larupia but I didn't want to hassle with hunting for some or buying them. Made enough Spirit Terrorbirds to get to 62 Summoning (that's 2 levels!). Then used up my stack of abyssal charms and made a bunch of Abyssal Lurkers. I want to try them out next time I runecraft.
Now back to fishing. Then cooking them. Or at least some of them. I'll mine from the 11th to 20th so depending what time I wrap up the fishing/cooking.........hmm.......what to do what to do.

Ended June working on Mining/Smithing/Construction. Wanted to get them all to 73 but only got to 73 Mining. Pretty close though on the smithing and construction pieces.
Decided for the first ten days of July to fish. Get to 80 or to the 10th of the month.
Did my usual rounds. Still farming away. Passed 5 million farming xp today :D. At my current rate I should have a farming cape in about 18 months.
Other then that been fishing monks. Need them since I got down to only 60 fishies and Bork and Jade Vine consume them.
78 Fishing.
