I completed Task #2 after Skilling and Killing 15 times in Al Kharid, the Barbarian Village, Lumbridge, and Varrock. My three Daily Challenges contributed towards this task. I cooked 10 tuna in Al Kharid, fired 10 Prayer urns in the Barbarian Village, and burned 10 yew logs on a bonfire at The Grand Exchange.

Finally I went to the Archaeology Campus and excavated a full inventory of Third-Age iron, which will be part of a future Secret Santa donation. As I found 27/28 Third-Age iron, this Skilling and Killing task was fulfilled.

I received a small dwarven toolbox. I used this to make a dwarven ramhammer.

For Task #3, I can fish or mine 52 times (salmon/coal or better) or Skill and Kill 15 times.

It was interesting to see Task A give two separate options. I plan to mine some luminite and runite ores to complete this task - and to donate as another Secret Santa gift.

I completed Task #3 two times over by mining 52 luminite and 52 runite ores in the Dwarven Mine and the Mining Guild. I donated all these ores to the Secret Santa event. Then I claimed a gift - and had the 52 noted runite ores returned to me! O_o

I received the Snow Queen's Guard Battleaxe cosmetic override.

I then completed Task #4 after Skilling and Killing 15 times in Al Kharid and Lumbridge. The other option would have been to cook 500 foods (pike or better). I fought and killed Hollowtoof and his entire group of raiders on the Lumbridge farm to advance this task. Two of my three Daily Challenges also contributed towards this task. I fletched 200 rune arrows plus I more than fulfilled a Mining challenge after I mined two full inventories of gold ore in Al Kharid, where I also crafted the gold bars I had made into amulets. I had just finished Superheating the final gold bar in the first inventory of ore to complete the task.

I received a small prismatic lamp, which I used to gain 7,062 Ranged XP.

For Task #5, I can earn 168,315 Smithing XP or Skill and Kill 20 times.

I've already started on the Skilling and Killing option by finishing crafting those 56 gold amulets, and by cooking 10 tuna in Al Kharid to complete my third Daily Challenge. I also earned 203 Smithing XP by smelting the gold bars.

Skilling and Killing seems to be the best option here.

I completed Task #5 after Skilling and Killing 20 times in Al Kharid, Burthorpe, Taverley, Falador, the Runespan, and Lumbridge. Again I fought and killed Hollowtoof and his entire group of goblin raiders. This time, I battled these raiders in the Taverley mine to advance the task. As he did the last time, this time Hollowtoof dropped a raider chainbody. My three Daily Challenges also contributed towards this task. I ran two laps around the Burthorpe Agility Course, siphoned 9 air runes in the Runespan, and smithed 300 rune arrowheads at the Artisans' Workshop. As with Task #4, I had just finished Superheating 27 gold ores into bars when I completed this task.

For Task #6, I can kill 472 monsters or Skill and Kill 20 times.

I've already started on both options by killing Hollowtoof and his entire raiding party yet again. This time, I beat them at the southwest mine below Varrock. The defeated Hollowtoof dropped a raider axe for me to add to my collection. The game claims I have defeated Hollowtoof 13 times. My collection of raider gear in the bank suggests the actual number is over 20.

Killing off the goblin raiders advanced the combat task 11/472. However, I am already a quarter of the way done with the Skilling and Killing option, so it makes sense for me to work on that task.

I completed Task #6 after Skilling and Killing 20 times in Al Kharid, Taverley, the Runespan, Lumbridge, and Varrock. As I mentioned in the previous post, I fought and killed Hollowtoof and his entire group of goblin raiders to begin this task. This took place at the southwest Varrock mine. I finished this task while excavating Third-Age iron on the eastern edge of the Archaeology Campus, as I dug up the 10th piece in the second of three full inventories of iron I excavated. I banked the 84 Third-Age iron for donation purposes.

Task #7, which I also completed, was a choice between making a Secret Santa donation of at least 200,000gp or Skilling and Killing 25 times.

Before I left Varrock, I received word of another goblin raid at the southwest Varrock mine. Once again I defeated Hollowtoof and his entire raiding party. Hollowtoof dropped a raider chainbody. I observed Hollowtoof was worth 676 XP in Attack, Defence, and Strength. I did not take note of how much Constitution XP I got from killing him.

Between the excavating and fighting the goblin raiders, I advanced the Skilling and Killing option 8/25. I teleported to Burthorpe and withdrew all 84 Third-Age iron as a note. Then I went south to make my Secret Santa donation to complete the task. I donated 73 Third-Age iron. The value of this donation amounted to 201,845gp. I banked the remaining 11 iron.

I received a small bubbling lamp, which I used to gain 7,062 Ranged XP. For donating over 100,000gp worth of items, the bear awarded me a medium prismatic lamp, which I used to gain 14,124 Ranged XP.

For Task #8, I can chop 90 logs (willow or better) or Skill and Kill 25 times.

I reckon I will work on my Woodcutting.

When I logged in this afternoon, I only needed roughly 600 XP to level my Attack, Constitution, Defence, and Strength.

I entered Edgeville Dungeon. After burying some stray bones, I stood at the entrance to the cave where the poison spiders live. I let them come to me. I killed nine spiders, then checked my Skills tab. These are the XP totals I needed to level my melee skills:

Attack - 129 XP
Constitution - 58 XP
Defence - 128 XP
Strength - 129 XP

I walked away from the poison spiders at this point, buried several more bones, then teleported to Al Kharid. I ran north to the mine in order to once again level my melee combat skills with the help of my oldest enemies - the scorpions.

I killed six scorps to get Constitution level 94! :) I now have 9900 Life Points when fully healed, thanks to the Font of Life. I slew six more scorps to raise my Strength and Defence to level 94! :) My Attack was 1 XP short of leveling! :O I also got Combat Level 119! :D Naturally, I killed one more scorp to reach Attack level 94! :)

My Total Level is 1654 (Virtual Level 1664).

Hollowtoof has not had good luck with fighting me recently. Wait until he has to deal with my new and improved combat stats! Hehe.

I completed Task #8 by chopping 60 willow logs and 30 yew logs in Lumbridge.

I received the Snow Queen's Guard Shield cosmetic override and two advanced pulse cores.

For Task #9, I can burn 600 logs (willow or better) or Skill and Kill 30 times.

Skilling and Killing is becoming a less attractive option. I will do the Firemaking grind.

Wintumber Aurora Yak Track update:

I completed Task #9 after Skilling and Killing 30 times. I did work on the Firemaking task as part of the Skilling and Killing, burning 217/600 yew logs. I finished this task by alching an entire inventory of gold amulets I had just crafted in Al Kharid.

I received two combat training dummies.

For Task #10, I can earn 140,931 Dungeoneering XP or Skill and Kill 30 times.

Skilling and Killing is the only real option here.
