After spending a good portion of the afternoon and early evening yesterday(as it's now after Midnight)gathering materials to create 1000 opal, jade, and topaz bolts, I raised my Fletching from level 48 to 50!
I also did a lot of Smithing today, using up all the protean bars I had left. I also made 40 more rune off-hand longswords, and a set of adamant burial armor, plus the bolts. This brought me SO close to 94 Smithing - I am only 210XP away! Unfortunately, my internet went down for a bit, interrupting me as I was making three more sets of fully upgraded adamant armor, to be turned into more burial armor sets. I will finish those later today, getting to 94 Smithing in the process!
Internet came back a short time ago. Now that I've posted this, it's time for bed. More XP gains to come later today!

As expected, I easily reached Smithing level 94 this afternoon! All it took was a few swings of the hammer against the third of three adamant platebodies +2 I had been working on as part of three sets of burial armor. I finished those today and turned them in. I also made 20 more rune off-hand longswords. I now have 100 of those in my bank, to go along with the 100 rune longswords I have in there. After burning up over 400, 000 Bonus XP, I now have over 8 million XP in Smithing!
No Fletching gains today. For the 1.2XP Weekend though, I gained 14 Fletching levels, going from level 36 to 50!
After I got sick of Smithing, I relaxed by spending some quality time attacking ice giants and ice warriors. I still have to gain over 300, 000 XP in Attack, Constitution, Defence, and Strength before getting to level 90 in those skills.

Tonight I reached Fletching level 51, after finishing turning the 250 maple logs I had in the bank into unstrung maple shortbows. 228 of those maple logs I won on TH the day after 1.2XP Weekend ended! Of course, right?
I have 250 bowstrings ready to use. I just have to decide if I'm going to use 5 more pulse cores to get a 10% XP boost, or get the same boost from buying a portable fletcher. Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone at the Grand Exchange already using a portable fletcher!

Today I closed out the month of February by gaining one more Fletching level, reaching level 52! I could fletch mith darts, if F2P were able to make darts. I strung 100 of those 250 unstrung maple shortbows I mentioned previously. I decided not to use either pulse cores or a portable fletcher.
After 100 shortbows, I got bored and left the G.E. to do some PvM at the Stronghold of Security. I ended up finding two left skull halves and two right skull halves. I put them together and placed them in my bank, for a total of 10 strange skulls, not including my completed skull scepter. My bank is an odd place.

March is off to a great start! Tonight, while mining runite in the Mining Guild, I reached Mining level 90! My second skill raised into the 90s!
What made this accomplishment extra special is that during those final 10, 700 or so XP I was also in private chat with a good friend of mine, who was also busy training Mining, on a different world.
The rest of my F2P skills are all in the 70s or 80s, except for Fletching, which currently stands at 52.

In part, I got to this level by making 20 steel crossbows. I had never made crossbows before. After gathering raw beef from fallen cows to make sinew, buying teak logs to fletch into stocks, smithing the steel arms, and then finally assembling all the pieces into crossbows, I learned something about myself - I do not like making crossbows.
One more level, and then I will be able to create mithril bolts!

Tonight, halfway through fletching 3000 mithril arrows, I reached Fletching level 54!
Then, after finishing with the mith arrows, I switched to making mithril bolts. After about 800 bolts, I raised Fletching to level 55!
Soon I will be able to craft sapphire, then emerald, tipped mithril bolts!

Tonight, after making 200 more unstrung maple shieldbows, and 1000 sapphire bolts, I raised Fletching from level 55 to 57!
At the moment, I now have 500 of those maple shieldbows in the bank. Once I get around to putting strings on them, that should earn me a good chunk of XP!
Of course, this will mean several more trips to the flax field in Taverley. Yay. Hoo.

Tonight, I began stringing the first 100 of 800 unstrung maple shieldbows. After 60 of them were done, I reached Fletching level 58!
I can now fletch emerald bolts. Good thing I saved up plenty of emeralds for the occasion!

Tonight, I strung 200 more of those unstrung maple shieldbows, leaving 500 still to do. I also made 500 sapphire bolts and 1200 emerald bolts. This got me to Fletching level 59!
One more level and I can create adamant arrows!
