After I won three small prismatic lamps on the Foresight To Train TH promo, and used all three lamps to gain Fletching XP, I only needed 25,501 XP to reach the next Fletching level.

Then I completed Daily Challenges in Fletching, Smithing, and Runecrafting.

I carved and strung 6 yew shieldbows and smithed 300 rune arrowheads in Lumbridge. Then I siphoned 8 air runes from a cyclone in the Runespan. After I had finished stringing the bows, I was 24,421 Fletching XP from the next level.

I gained 25,939 XP in Fletching and in Runecrafting, as well as 26,616 Smithing XP, from redeeming these challenges, so I got Fletching level 99! :)

My Total Level is 1740 (Virtual Level 1756).

I am now 30 skill levels from being a maxed free player (not counting Necromancy). 21 of the 30 levels I still need are in Dungeoneering.

My list of skill levels on page 116 has been updated.

Eight of my F2P skills are at level 99, not counting virtual levels: Smithing, Mining, Fishing, Cooking, Crafting, Dungeoneering, Prayer, and Fletching.

All of my other F2P skills are at level 98.

This is the fourth 99 I have reached this year, and the second 99 I have reached this month.

When I logged in this evening, I needed 25,223 XP to reach the next Runecrafting level.

Today I completed Daily Challenges in Dungeoneering, Mining, and Runecrafting.

I used a token to skip the Dungeoneering task. Next, I mined two full inventories of gold ores at the mine north of Al Kharid. Then I crafted 162 water runes from 27 rune essence at the Water Altar in Lumbridge Swamp. After I had finished, I was 25,061 Runecrafting XP from the next level.

I gained 25,939 XP in Runecrafting, as well as 26,616 XP in Dungeoneering and in Mining, from redeeming these challenges, so I got Runecrafting level 99! :) I can now craft 10 air runes per essence.

Necromancy, RuneScape's 29th skill, launched today, so I start with level 1 in this new skill

My Total Level is 1742 (Virtual Level 1758). The maximum Total Level for F2P is now 1790.

I am now 48 skill levels from being a maxed free player (including Necromancy). 21 of the 48 levels I still need are in Dungeoneering.

My list of skill levels on page 116 has been updated.

Nine of my F2P skills are at level 99, not counting virtual levels: Smithing, Mining, Fishing, Cooking, Crafting, Dungeoneering, Prayer, Fletching, and Runecrafting.

All of my other F2P skills are at level 98.

This is the fifth 99 I have reached this year.

Late tonight, I completed the Necromancy quest. I learned the basics of Necromancy rituals and combat. When the quest was over, I had reached Necromancy level 5.

The Necromancy ability is unlocked at level 1. At level 2, I unlocked Conjure Skeleton Warrior.

I received a deathguard and a skull lantern (main and off-hand weapons), plus a full set of Necromancy robes. I also unlocked the City of Um lodestone.

With my new gear equipped, I teleported to Al Kharid. I tested out my new abilities on the scorpions. I killed eight of them.

Killing scorpion #1 got me to Necromancy level 6.
Killing scorpion #3 got me to Necromancy level 7.
Killing scorpion #4 got me to Necromancy level 8.
Killing scorpion #6 got me to Necromancy level 9.
Killing scorpion #8 got me to Necromancy level 10.

At level 8, I unlocked the Finger of Death ability.

My Total Level is 1751 (Virtual Level 1767).

I am now 39 skill levels from being a maxed free player. 21 of the 39 levels I still need are in Dungeoneering.

This evening, I performed enough Lesser Communion rituals to raise my Necromancy from level 10 to level 17. I have now added 39 souls to The Well of Souls.

At level 13, I unlocked the Touch of Death ability.

I spoke to the priestess Selene, who taught me the prayers Accelerated Decay and Hand of Doom. This triggered an achievement.

After I was finished performing my rituals, I equipped my Necromancy gear and teleported to Edgeville. I entered the dungeon and defeated two level 16 skeletons. I advanced past the metal door and fought the level 32 skeletons. Upon beating the sixth level 32 skeleton, I reached Necromancy level 18.

My Total Level is 1759 (Virtual Level 1775).

I am now 31 skill levels from being a maxed free player. 21 of the 31 levels I still need are in Dungeoneering.

This evening, I mined two full inventories of gold ores at the mine north of Al Kharid.

While I was there, I killed a total of nine scorpions using Necromancy. Killing the fourth scorpion got me to Necromancy level 19. Killing the eighth scorpion earned me a Talent Point. A little east of the entrance to the mine, I fought one more scorpion. I beat this one to reach Necromancy level 20! :)

Once I earn another Talent Point, I can unlock the Command Skeleton Warrior ability.

My Total Level is 1761 (Virtual Level 1777).

I am now 29 skill levels from being a maxed free player. 21 of the 29 levels I still need are in Dungeoneering.

My list of skill levels on page 116 has been updated.

I still have a few more achievements to complete, but now that I have hit the skill cap, I will probably not spend much more time on Necromancy.

Early this morning, I completed a Daily Dungeoneering Challenge by clearing Floor 33 on Complexity 6. It had been nearly ten months since the last time I went dungeoneering.

South of the starting room, I solved a puzzle by carving two stone swords, then arming a pair of statues facing another pair of statues holding bows. A couple of rooms later, I had to push/pull two pairs of statues so that their positions matched two other statue pairs to the north of them.

I fought a level 110 zombie in a locked room just to the east of the starting room. The rest of the monsters were considerably weaker.

In the boss room, I killed a Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan. I ran in and overwhelmed it with melee attacks, even though the creature drained my stats by half. The level 91 beast died quickly. It dropped a zephyrium kiteshield. I brought 12 short-finned eels and 14 giant flatfish with me, yet I ate no food during the battle.

I unlocked Floor 34.

Bal'Lak cannot hide from me forever.

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

If you try many times without success, try changing tactics.

Good advice - and it worked for me once again this afternoon.

I have made several trips to the caves at the southern end of Um to fight tghe ghostly trolls using Necromancy, looking for the deathstorm drape drop. The first time I entered these caves, I missed the first drop. After killing scores of trolls without getting the drape, I began to wonder if that very first drop had been the drape and I missed it. I also thought maybe the drape was not dropping due to a bug, as I had missed my chance to get it.

Kristen got her deathstorm drape on the first drop. Of course she did. :P

I was almost tempted to buy the drape on the G.E. However, I wasn't ready to give up yet.

This afternoon, I headed back to these caves. This time, I used my melee gear instead. The very first ghostly troll I defeated dropped a deathstorm drape. :)

I fought more ghostly trolls, banked the drape along with the 20 bones and piece of cooked meat I also found, then celebrated my success at The Last Call. I bought Crunchy a drink, though I suspect he'd already had a few. Crunchy mistook me for Tim at first, but tried to blame his confusion on all the skin - which wasn't showing through my rune armor. O_o

I spent some time playing darts as well. After many attempts, I finally got a bullseye! This completed an achievement. My RuneScore is now 2,680.

Congrats on getting your drape, babe. I told you that you would.

I was just at The Last Call, and I got this achievement as well.

I hit the bullseye on the 13th dart. :D
All hail The Empty Lord!

This evening, I completed Daily Challenges in Combat, Woodcutting, and Firemaking.

I killed 16 blue dragons in The Wilderness. Then I chopped 10 yew logs west of Lumbridge Market and burned them in a bonfire.

Redeeming these challenges did not get me any new skill levels. However, redeeming the Daily Woodcutting and Firemaking Challenges did put me over 252,000,000 in Total XP.
