Anja is the goddess of freebies, yes? That inspired me to make the above special, so I hope that's a tribute of some sort at least! > )

Ok, I have to admit that special made me laugh. You spend millions while grinding, for the item used for grinding. But this gives the wrong picture of Anja! Maybe if you stood around G.E. shouting "Handing out free pestle and mortars" with your herblore cape it would be better! Cheers and gz on 99 herb!

300 million total exp reached!

If I didn't have any post-99 exp, I'd be maxed now! > )



Special #12
Because this isn't just about one skill, I thought it best to reflect back on the skills overall!



And this time, the Blackwing for this milestone is used by a non-Blackwing player!

Cheerio! I can see that I focused a little too much on the freebies themselves that I overlooked that... still makes the flippers happy though (no regular players actively buy them).

30 levels remaining before max!


However... something else happened just a bit earlier.



Rift guardian pet obtained at 96 runecrafting!

And with that, I now have 4 skilling pets (3 official + 1 unofficial)! Although, it is also my first ever pet to be able change its appearance (based on the runes you craft with it).

The base chance to get the rift guardian from blood runecrafting is 1 in 804,984, which is the chance of getting it per one essence. Blood runecrafting involves crafting two stacks of 108 and 104 essence each respectively, and I received the pet on my first craft of that trip, so the chance was 0,0134% ! Slightly less than the chance to get Herbi from one harvest!

Special #13


As my first complete year of active play in OSRS is
drawing near, I thought I'd put that into perspective:



The above is a graph that shows how the GE guide price of blood runes has progressed throughout my year of play, with the black spot marking the date when I began my final runecraft grind (from 86 to 99). My original plan with runecraft was to do blood runes from 77 to 90 and soul runes from there on to 99, because as can be seen from the graph, blood rune prices were in the mud most of the year (they had little use and too much supply from blood runecrafters), so with those prices, the extra exp/hour from soul runes was worth the slight loss of gp, because soul runes were even more oversupplied and not that useful either.

But then, thanks to theater of blood coming in June dropping a useful staff against Zulrah that required blood runes to power it, as it became more common in July, people started buying blood runes in masses, and when I reached level 90, it became clear as per the above graph, that the extra exp from soul runes was no longer worth the loss of gp over making blood runes. So I stuck crafting blood runes all the way, which also gave me the pet!

...and that's the story of how a well-timed update can change things around big time, and net you a lot more profit. Cheerio for all the extra millions of gp (and pet), Jagex! > )

...and the Blackwing for the runecraft skill is:
