Wintumber Aurora Yak Track update:

I completed Task #24 by burning 700 yew logs in Lumbridge. I deployed nine portable braziers in front of the Lumbridge Market bank chest and burned exactly 600 logs there. Then I burned 100 yew logs on two bonfires behind the bank chest.

I received a medium cash bag, which contained 81,250gp.

For Task #25 I can earn 205,036 Dungeoneering XP or bury 1,100 bones.

If I do not skip this task, it looks like I'll be training Prayer.

^ Indeed it has, my friend. You've been missed around here.

Kristen keeps shaking her empty tip jar, then setting it down to glare at me. I tell her, "Hey, you're the one in charge of the bar. It's not my fault we've had pretty much no customers stop by recently for drinks and conversation!"

She's not convinced. :P

Yes, rather jaw-dropping indeed! O_o

Far too long indeed.

I have been far too focused on my own in-game activities (the capes are flowing!) and I have been taking a break from the forums to try and preserve what slither of my mental health I have left. I think you know what I am referring too... let's just say I would rather steer clear of a few people! ;)

Nice progress on the yuck track, by the way. I was sad to see that the F2P community can't access Het's area. I would have thought it would have been great to give you guys some new achievements, perhaps a new type of tree to cut, or something to fish. Heck, you could have even used the agility course for a bit of fun!

I'd honestly like to see more of this style of event used to revitalise areas; community events are a darn sight better than yuck tracks! However, they should include everyone. I hope this sort of thing can be used to help update other areas of the map, or grant you guys access (temporarily at least) to members' areas for a similar package of events.

As for me, I have managed to complete most of Het's arena of death. Catching 5000 of the hunter things was horrible (I needed it for comp!) and repairing the statue in the middle for a future trim comp cape was only slightly less bad.

That's understandable, Trewavas. Just know you are always welcome here. :)

Thanks, but of course this will be another miserable Yak Track that I will not complete before it ends Sunday night. I might not play much after that, as there are a few other projects I want to work on, including more songs!

I agree the so-called "community event" that is Het's Oasis is sadly a non-event for us forgotten F2P folk. I wandered around the area for a little bit. I watched the cutscene, spoke with a few NPCs, and reclaimed a Duellist's Cap from Estocada, as the old one had become an Antique Duellist's Cap. Yes, quite an underwhelming update for F2P. You make it sound delightful, though. Hahaha! :P

I do like your idea for revitalizing other areas of Gielinor via community events everyone can take part in, should they choose to. It's nicely inclusive, truly community-minded, and it makes sense - so it's unlikely Jagex would go for it, unless they used it to peddle bonds.

Wintumber Aurora Yak Track update:

I completed Task #25 by burning/burying 1,100 big bones in Lumbridge. I deployed 11 portable braziers in front of the Lumbridge Market bank chest and burned 994 big bones. Then I buried another 106 big bones to finish the task. I prepared for this task by trading 63 Third Age iron for 1,146 big bones on The Grand Exchange. This gave me 1,706 big bones to start with.

I received the Helena pet, 700 oddments, a medium supreme star, and a medium lava lantern. I used the star and the lantern on Smithing. Helena is my 63rd pet, and has been added to my complete list of pets on page 11.

For Task #26 I can kill 1,256 monsters or Skill and Kill 45 times.

I'll see how the Skilling and Killing goes, but I'll probably end up skipping this one due to time constraints.

Wintumber Aurora Yak Track wrap-up:

As I expected, I decided to use my last skip token to auto-complete Task #26, rather than kill 1,256 monsters or Skill and Kill 45 times.

I received a medium fallen star, which I used to gain 21,293 Smithing BXP, and a medium bubbling lamp, which I used to gain 14,573 Ranged XP.

Task #27 was a choice between earning 303,439 Fletching XP or 252,000 Crafting XP. Either way, this task would've used up a lot of proteans (logs or hides), even if I had the time and motivation to play this afternoon - which I didn't.

This Yak Track has now ended. Guthix willing there will be no more of them.

Total number of bonds bought: 0

I still don't pay to skip content. I will only skip it for free.

I was only 57,025 XP away from gaining the next level in Ranged this evening, after I rubbed the medium bubbling lamp I got from Yak Track Task #26 to gain 14,573 Ranged XP.

I had a huge prismatic lamp in my backpack, which I had won on TH about five minutes before game reset. I used this lamp to gain 58,292 XP. Therefore, I reached Ranged level 93! :)

My Total Level is 1662 (Virtual Level 1672).

^ Thanks Threes! The progress continues...

This evening I won two shining huge prismatic lamps on TH. I used them both on Magic. Each lamp gave me 99,096 XP.

As I rubbed the first lamp, I went over 162,000,000 in Total XP by more than 79,000 XP.
