The Blundering Adventurer
Quick find code: 48-49-514-65102636
I started out at the Snowy Hunter area near Relleka. That's where I had gained the majority of my Hunter XP; catching butterflies. But for some reason, I just wasn't finding it as enjoyable as I used to. I caught butterflies for a bit while doing some research on how to work Herblore Habitat. I knew I didn't want to do Draconic Jadinkos; they seemed like too much work. And I knew that I wanted jadinkos who spawned in the north or south camp.
I decided that I would try and summon Igneous Jadinkos. Before I left to do that however, I participated in a quick game of Big Chinchompa Hunter. It's a great D&D: Fast XP, not boring and the rewards are great (Big chunks of XP traded for points!).
With that done, I headed to Herblore Habitat with the appropriate seeds needed for the Igneous Jadinkos. For some reason they weren't spawning... Then I realized that one of my plants was diseased
So I started catching Igneous Jadinkos. I'm going to be honest, I expected the XP to be faster. I started doing some more research into which jadinkos I should summon, and decided that I would change to Amphibious. All I really had to do was change my Thermal Vent construct into a Pond!
Amphibious Jadinkos were definitely faster XP than Igneous. I was catching Common Jadinkos too, so I was constantly picking up traps and replacing them. The XP was fast, but it was horrifically monotonous. Luckily, the nest wave of Warbands was approaching!
Again, I geared up and went with Mining Golds. The first camp was devoid of Farming or Smithing tents, so I started running back. The next world we went to finally had a Farming tent! I started looting it with my clanmates while keeping an eye out on the minimap. White dots had started collecting... Not enough to be worrying, but enough to be wary.
Well the number of white dots escalated, and fast.

Whits dots poured onto the minimap, while spells and arrows began flying across the screen. Come on, come on.... Only a few more supplies to go! I began hoping against hope that one of the PKers wouldn't see me and that I'd be able to somehow escape with my life.
As soon as I had my twenty-five supplies, I sprinted north, leaving the massacre behind me and praying that no one had seen my quiet escape. As I began to run east, I bumped into more and more clanmates who had managed to escape. Soon, there were about five of us slowly making our way back south. Apparently, those who stayed at the camp had suffered a grisly fate... We were one of the few survivors.
Slowly, we made our way back to the Wilderness wall, and I deposited my supplies at Quercus. Just over 400,000xp to go until I can achieve 99 Farming!
With that all done, I returned to Herblore Habitat, where I turned on zombie-mode. I was a clicking machine. Monotony did not phase me. I did not stop, I did not rest. I gained tons of experience, and stopped once to participate in another Big Chinchompa game.
When I logged out for the day, I was actually first in the competition, and by a decent amount! I probably won't be able to stay first, but it's always a good incentive to keep skilling. After all, I achieved level 93 Hunter today!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I logged on today at the Herblore Habitat Hunting area. Right away, I started hunting jadinkos while I checked to see how I was fairing on the scoreboards for the competition.
Wow... A clanmate named Cymru 0 O had somehow managed to gain a whopping 1,600,000xp while I was asleep. I'm not sure how on earth he managed that, but all my hopes of winning this competition were immediately dashed. Still though, I continued to catch some jadinkos, only stopping to participate in a Warband.
This time, I went with WarbandPK instead of Mining Golds. The host of this Friends Chat was "Zeolyte". Man, did he know how to run Warbands! Things went incredibly smoothly, and I managed to get a Smithing tent and a Farming tent.
When that was done, I headed back to the Herblore Habitat area... But I had lost all motivation. I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get in the hang of it. The Big Chinchompa game actually spawned right next to me, so I participated in that for a hefty chunk of Hunter XP.
When I emerged from the cave, I decided I would go back to cutting Arctic Pines.
Ahh... No concentration needed on these guys! I chopped away for a bit, rewatching the "Deathnote" series; the only anime series I've ever really enjoyed. Well I guess In*yasha was ok
I continued chopping logs for a good couple of hours, taking breaks in between. Eventually, the next wave of Warbands rolled around. This time, I went with Mining Golds. The first world we hit contained Smithing supplies! From this, I achieved level 93 Smithing!
My brother, LoneCone, PMed me then, letting me know that World 22 was completely empty of clans. I alerted my clan, and we rushed out to the Warband! Lucky for me, there was a Farming tent! Now I'm only 247,000xp until level 99 Farming!

Before I headed back to Neitiznot, I quickly completed all of my daily tasks: Player Owned Ports, Dungeoneering Challenge and Duke Horacio vote... Although technically that last one is a weekly.
With all that done, I headed back to Neitiznot to continue my Woodcutting training. I was getting really close to level 98! When I logged off, I was a mere 250,000xp away!

@ Calcrulz: Welcome back old friend! Yep, I'm definitely a lot less of a noob than I used to be
Then again, noobiness is forever.

Hi!
Today was all Arctic Pines. Literally. I don't know what changed, but for some reason, Woodcutting seemed horrendously boring. Normally, if I find something tedious and boring, I simply don't do it. But this time, I was so close to 98 Woodcutting I could taste it.
But man, 250,000xp in Woodcutting took longer than I thought. I didn't participate in Warbands today either; I wanted nothing more than to gain that Woodcutting level. didn't actually really play as much as I normally do today; I was too busy in real life doing other things.
But that time did finally come. It took ages, but I finally achieved level 98 Woodcutting! I immediately started on the next level, eager to be done forever with the skill.
When I logged off today, I was around 1,160,000xp remaining to 99 Woodcutting. I wonder which 99 I'll get after that... Agility maybe? Hunter? Divination? It's always a surprise! Farming is a given though; I'm only 240,000xp away from 99

Hi!
Well folks, today was a rough day... But before I get into that, I'll start at the beginning.
I logged on today at Neitiznot, and started chopping some logs... But man, I really did not feel like Woodcutting anymore. It was so boring! I wanted something exciting! ...Which could be difficult considering I only had five skills remaining until I could access the legendary Max Cape.
The first thing I decided to do was participate in the upcoming Big Chinchompa event. I teleported to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and ran to the tree which housed the portal to Nyriki. From there, I waited a few minutes and started the game.
It was a pretty standard game, nothing to report here. Easy Hunter XP is always welcome
So the next thing I wanted to do was finally achieve level 99 Farming. I had been looking through my bank, and I noticed that I actually had a Prized Pendant of Farming! I definitely didn't want to waste it, so I figured I had better use it before I completed the skill.
And so, I embarked (get it?) on my very last tree run. I feel like I almost cheated with Farming... You don't farm at all during Warbands, yet you yield massive amounts of XP. Then again, it's a part of the game, and I'd be missing out on it if I didn't do it.
I visited all of the tree patches until my pendant had run out. I was actually only 67,000xp from level 99 Farming now! The next Warband was only an hour away, so I decided to complete a random Court Summons I had in my bank.
This was the case between Professor Oddenstein and Ernest. I chose to be the Prosecutor, because I wanted the Attack XP
I used the Runescape Wiki for this, and completed it fairly quickly.
After a quick break, I logged back on and started gearing up for the Warbands. Man, if none of the camps had a Farming tent...
