This afternoon, while Dungeoneering, I reached Woodcutting level 73!
While doing more DG tonight, I reached Firemaking level 73!
This brings my Total Level to 1449. I expect my next level gain will be Dungeoneering level 75, at long last! I reckon three more decent raids should do the trick.
Today I also finished fully upgrading all my bind pool items to argonite after finding an off-hand argonite longsword! I destroyed both my zephyrium longswords to make room. Now I have all 5 argonite armor items bound, along with the pair of longswords, a 2h sword, and a spear. I have one free spot left in the bind pool. If I find an argonite maul, I think that's what I'll put there.
No, I don't bother with mage or ranged during DG. I barely train those outside of DG.

Last night, I came SO close to getting Dungeoneering level 75 - when I finished for the night, I was only 87 XP away from attaining that goal!
Tonight, I got it!
Finally, I can be done with DG! In addition to unlocking the last resource dungeon open to F2P, the Al Kharid hidden mine, I also unlocked floor 38. Not that it'll do me any good, since F2P cannot venture below floor 35.
I later went to the Al Kharid mine, and entered the resource dungeon there. This granted me 11,400 DG XP. I mined the precious gem rocks, and got quite a few diamonds during the two trips I made there. Naturally, I also found quite a few more emeralds and rubies.
Now I can focus on fixing my XP totals for Fishing/Cooking and Firemaking/Woodcutting. I also need to raise Attack and Defence, to bring those back in line with my Strength, which got unevenly raised from opening all those wretched force-bar barred doors.
I never did find and bind that argonite maul. I also didn't track down those three missing journals. Ah well, the important thing is I reached my goal of DG level 75! No more F2P unlocks to gain - I'm done!

Congratulations on reaching your 75 dg goal, Aslon! I'm glad you mentioned the precious gem rocks of Al Kharid - I didn't know they were available in F2P. Sounds like a good place. I'll see if I can get a diamond ring done for Anja
Tonight, while working on stage 2 of the Breaking the Storm event, I got my Smithing up to level 95!
I did it by forging 2475 iron rivets. I stopped after I had made 3006 rivets.
This event was pretty crowded, and someone hit me with a pulse core blast, giving me a 2% XP boost on top of the 10% XP boost we get just for training at this event. That certainly helped me get this level, but the XP rates are kind of insane to begin with - and I didn't even use a boost brew to activate double XP either, even though I have two in the bank (the free one, plus one I got in the first event mystery box, along with a prismatic small star and a medium phoenix lamp, which I got to use twice and which also unlocked the phoenix aura for me).
It's just too bad F2P cannot use the rivets for anything, or trade them, or hand them in for a reward. Right now, they just take up an inventory space. Bah.
While we were making the rivets, someone claimed to have seen a shark swim along the coast, from south to north, then swim out to sea. I never saw the shark. Neither did anyone else. Most likely, someone was just bored.
Those are the riveting details from tonight!

I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much, Jokku!
Yes, those precious gem rocks are available to all who have DG 75 or higher. During an average run, I've been finding 3 to 6 diamonds each trip, with the rest being emeralds and rubies. On my worst run, I found only one diamond.
You should have no problem getting at least one diamond from the Al Kharid resource dungeon. I have a feeling Anja will love a diamond ring, especially so because it would be from you, Jokku. I wish you and your lady all the best! Cheers!

Good work Aslon! I know you've been looking forward to reaching that goal for some time.
Maybe now you can train Ranged for a bit. You still have a little ways to go until you catch up to me!
Thanks pal!
As for Ranged, we shall see. I did take a few melee combat training dummies and set them up in the Breaking the Storm event area. That 10% bonus is coming in handy - or you might even say hand-to-handy!
