(And I can't wait to hear the next song!)


I should have the next one ready this weekend. I'm actually working on several of them. We'll see which ones get finished first. I promise I've not forgotten! No chance of that.

Kerapac Track update:

I more than completed Task #23 after siphoning 858 body runes (600 points worth) in the Runespan, then making one run to the body altar in Edgeville, where I crafted 69 runes. I made a total of 927/915 body runes for this task.

Task #24 looks to be horribly grindy. I can either cook 1,320 swordfish or burn 1,740 yew/magic logs. Ugh. I guess I'll be cooking swordfish for days, after I acquire them.

I just helped Ulric reach level 22 as he finished crafting the Percy pet for me.

This is my 48th pet. My list of pets on page 11 has been updated.

I now have three snowman pets - Tony, Scoop, and Percy. O_o

Whilst I do indeed have a bunch of auras, I do not have the Rainbow aura! It would be an honour to accept such a gift if you still have it. In return, I have a bunch of cosmetic override tokens from this year's beach event; let me know if you need any.

Unfortunately, I don't have any skips left, and therefore I'll be grinding it out. My current task is to create 3650 pouches or build items within my Player Owned House. I chose to make the pouches, but it's painful! I would therefore agree with your analysis that the event is grindy!

As for the Artisan event, I don't know if I'll finish it. I have unlocked both the pet and most of the new outfit. Some of the outfits were from previous events, which I had already unlocked. However, it looks like I might miss out on the Artisan Cape, but I'm sure it will return in the future in some form.

Another Travelling Artisan event has ended. The final project I had Ulric complete for me was the Guardian of Fortitude trousers cosmetic override, which got him to level 23/30.

Interestingly enough, the first Travelling Artisan event ended with Doran reaching level 23/30.

This time, I had 495 patches left over in my currency pouch, as opposed to 141.

Ok, cool. Yes, I still have the two extra halo tokens in my bank. I mistakenly called them Rainbow Aura Tokens on the previous page. The tokens I have extras of are the Rainbow Halo Tokens. If you'd be interested in one of those, I'm sure we can make that happen. If not, no worries. I removed an inactive account that was on my friends list, and I added you. :) I hope that's ok. I'm normally on World 34, but I can meet you on any free world. I did end up getting all of this year's beach tokens. I even found some duplicates, including a total of 5 Bucky Tokens! O_o I redeemed one, and sold two of the spares for just over 4M total.

Yes, they do enjoy making these grindfests unpleasant, don't they? Why, it's as if they really, REALLY want us all to buy bonds for skips. It's as though good mental health comes at a price when it comes to the Yak Tracks - unless you're like me and don't give a damn. :P

I helped Ulric reach level 23. I didn't even start the event until Day 4, since I originally intended to skip this event, so I guess I did ok.

By the way, Trewavas, another song has escaped and found its way to your thread in General.

The RuneScape Dance...performed by Men Without Helms! :P

I noticed! It certainly is a good song!

I have added you too if you would like to crown me up at some point.

The biggest news was that I completed the Artisan Event! Yaaay. I now need to re-unlock my Completionist Cape by unlocking the new potion recipes and songs (though I have completed the latter), whilst also fully unlocking the new dig site. The last one isn't a completionist task, but I might as well unlock it.

Thanks! I had fun working on that one. I have some others which are nearly ready. I'm not sure which one will be next up, but I'd like to do a Halloween-themed song soon!

Ah cool. :) I figured the start of this week might not be good for you, with the brand new dig site open now. I'm on at random times, but essentially every day.

That sounds annoying, having to keep unlocking that cape. I'm glad the veteran capes remain. :P

Kerapac Track update:

I have completed Task #24 by cooking 47 full inventories of raw swordfish plus 4 additional raw swordfish for a total of 1,320 swordfish. Special thanks to Jokku23 and to Trewavas for providing welcome distraction from the grind via conversation! :)

Speaking of the grind, I've reached Task #25 - the midpoint of the Yak Track. It's another choice of what to grind. I can either kill 1,342 monsters or string 1,200 bows. Yeah. Hoo. O_o

Oh well, I suppose it's a reason to try out my new Purified Swords. I just bought that token from The Grand Exchange for 804,649 gp. They're not as impressive as my Firestorm Blades.

We'll see what the monsters think. Hehe. ;)
