I have officially marked 17 years as a citizen of Gielinor!

Good Guthix, where has the time gone?! O_o

I have composed a new RS song in honor of the occasion... Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

I'm Still 'Scaping
(sung to the tune of I'm Still Standing by Elton John)

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this newb could never win?
Well look at me, I'm logging in again
I got a style of play in a simple way
And if you need to know well I'm still 'Scaping, you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still 'Scaping better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still 'Scaping after all this time
Picking up gold pieces all my life with XP on my mind

I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Once I never could have hoped to win
You're going P2P leaving me again
The words you said were meant to cut me down
And if this game was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now

You know I'm still 'Scaping better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still 'Scaping after all this time
Picking up gold pieces all my life with XP on my mind

I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Don't you know that I'm still 'Scaping better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still 'Scaping after all this time
Picking up gold pieces all my life with XP on my mind

I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still 'Scaping (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I completed Task #6 when I encountered Hairy Potterer wandering the streets of Al Kharid north of Zeke's scimitar shop on my way to the mine.

For Task #7, I can burn 550 logs (willow or better) or Skill and Kill 20 times.

I might burn some logs while Skilling and Killing. Yes, that sounds good. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I completed Task #7 by Skilling and Killing 20 times in and around Al Kharid and Lumbridge. Like I did the last time, I finished this task by chopping yew logs near Lumbridge Market.

I received 25 dragon trinkets.

For Task #8, I can bury 500 bones or gain 45,612 Runecrafting XP.

It just so happens I have an active Daily Runecrafting Challenge. To the Runespan! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Early this morning, I took a long trek into the Runespan. While I was there, I completed a Daily Runecrafting Challenge, plus I located two stranded yellow-robed wizards. Both of them asked me for some Earth Runes. I siphoned 506 points worth of runes, but I used up six points of runes travelling to the various islands to reach the wizards. While siphoning a rock fragment on the mid-level of the Runespan, I got to 468 points worth of runes - and I reached Runecrafting level 90!

I could craft Soul Runes, if I was a member.

My Total Level is 1637 (Virtual Level 1645).

My RuneScore is now 2,440.

All my F2P skills are at level 90 or better, except for Firemaking and Woodcutting. These are both currently at level 89.

This trip to the Runespan came close to completing my current Yak Track task, which is to earn 45,612 Runecrafting XP. My journey to the Runespan awarded me exactly 44,444 XP, not counting the XP I got for redeeming the daily challenge. That large chunk of XP did not count towards my task. However, the XP awarded by the yellow-robed wizards did.

I have decided to earn the remaining 1,168 XP by training Runecrafting at the altars. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I more than completed Task #8 after making 7 runs to the Earth Altar, where I crafted a total of 749 Earth runes.

I received the Jas Acolyte's Talisman cosmetic override.

For Task #9, I can catch 165 fish (salmon or better) or Skill and Kill 25 times.

I believe I'll go fishing.

Edit: While working on this Runecrafting task, I went over 140,000,000 in Total XP. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I more than completed Task #9 by harpooning 102 swordfish and 108 tuna for a total of 210/165 fish caught. I ended up making 8 runs from the dock to Stiles, so he could note the fish for me. I added these 210 fish, along with 26 bananas, to my bank.

For Task #10, I can mine 210 ores (coal or better) or kill 463 monsters.

I'll be mining for this one. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Just after Midnight, I more than completed a Daily Woodcutting Challenge by chopping an entire inventory of yew logs west of Lumbridge Market. I redeemed this challenge to gain 35,535 XP, which was about 25,000 XP more than I needed to reach Woodcutting level 90!

I could chop bamboo, elder trees, and evil elder trees - if I was a member.

My Total Level is 1638 (Virtual Level 1646).

My RuneScore is now 2,445.

All my F2P skills are at level 90 or better except for Firemaking, which is at level 89. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I more than completed Task #10 by mining 120 luminite and 120 runite ores in and around the Mining Guild, for a total of 240/210 ores. I also found 31 geodes.

I received the Winged Harbinger of Wen pet. This is my 58th pet. My complete list of pets on page 11 of this thread has been updated.

I also received a medium prismatic lamp, which I used to gain 11,845 Firemaking XP.

For Task #11, I can string 700 bows or Skill and Kill 25 times.

Once again, Skilling and Killing is the best option. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yak Track - Path Of The Creators update:

I completed Task #11 by Skilling and Killing 25 times in Lumbridge, Al Kharid, and Edgeville. This included completing a Daily Prayer Challenge in Edgeville Dungeon and a Daily Thieving Challenge by stealing bread and cakes from a stall in Lumbridge Market.

I received a small protean pack. I got 75 protean hides from the pack. These will help with the next task at hand.

For Task #12, I can earn 170,995 Dungeoneering XP or earn 164,360 Crafting XP.

It looks like I'll be crafting some protean dragonhides. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!
