Hi!

Well unfortunately I didn't get to go on my rock climbing trip today because Canada's rainy weather made sure to compromise that

So, I got to play more Runescape today, go on some walks and do some shopping.

When I logged on, I started out with my Hunter challenge from a few days ago. Jadinkos are actually pretty fast XP, but man are they boring. And since I had just spent a lifetime trying to achieve 99 Agility, I really wanted to do something less click-intensive/boring.

So after I finished up the challenge (94 Hunter achieved!), I decided to pick up one of my favourite pasttimes on Runescape: Glacors!

For those of you who don't know, I have a lot of experience at Glacors. I achieved levels 88-99 Magic there, and also obtained all the necessary charms for 99 Summoning. I've killed thousands of Glacors, and not once have I received a pair of boots.

Today was no different. I killed around fifty Glacors or so before I decided that I wanted to work on my Max Cape more, so I sold my meager drops and headed to the Snowy Hunter area to catch some butterflies. 2750 Glacors dry

I caught butterflies for a while until the daily tick rolled around, and I was given another Hunter challenge! Before I headed to Herblore Habitat, I made a quick stop at Duke Horacio, to claim my weekly Bonus XP. This time, I put it into Hunter!

I headed out to Jadinkos and finished up my challenge, exhausting my Bonus XP at the same time. Back to butterflies with me! I made my way back to the Snowy Hunter area and caught butterflies for a few hours while watching Up for the umpteenth time.

I participated in one Big Chinchompa game and continued with the butterflies until I logged off for the night. Divination is getting released soon... I can't wait! 360,000xp to go until level 95 Hunter!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

I logged on today at the Snowy Hunter area. It was actually only fifteen minutes until I could access my second Big Chinchompa game, so I ran around catching butterflies for a bit, until it was time to leave.

When it was, I teleported to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and used the portal to visit Nyriki's hole. Time to catch some moths! I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but every time I try and access the Big Chinchompa D&D, it disconnects me for the first few attempts. On my third attempt however, it will usually let me in.

After the game was done, I decided to go to Herblore Habitat for more XP. After catching Jadinkos for a while though, I logged off for a break. My brother, father and I were actually playing a game called Heroscape ... I'm not sure if any of you have ever heard of it before, but it's super fun!

The game lasted a long time, but I won in the end! Back on Runescape, I was given another Hunter daily challenge. This, comboed with another Big Chinchompa game, allowed me to achieve level 95 Hunter! Now I could catch Black Warlocks!

I had always wanted to try out Black Warlocks, so I headed out to the Feldip Hills area (closer to Oog'log) and tried my hand at the highest level butterfly. Well, they certainly gave a lot of XP... But man, they took forever to catch! One of them took me a solid minute! I really wanted to get Hunter over with as soon as possible, so I decided my best bet was to go back to Jadinkos.

I caught Jadinkos for an hour or so before I logged off for a few hours to see my girlfriend. Later, when I logged back on, I decided to kill a few Glacors, just for the fun of it. Of course, I didn't receive any boots... But I did get four Shards of Armadyl! I've got ninety-four shards stocked up since I last made a staff! 2786 Glacors dry

Divination will be released tomorrow, and I'll be there! Thanks for reading!

Good night!

After a while, I achieved level 30 Divination! The next area was just south-east of Seer's Village. I stayed in this area for a long time. I collected countless Chronicle Fragments, which was pretty difficult considering the high competition for them.

I saw loads of fellow Mining Golds members there, and I had a good chat with many of them. I had actually been given a Hunter daily challenge, so I figured that I might as well complete it real quick to get a nice chunk of Hunter XP (comboed with the XP given my the Chronicle Fragments, I was getting quite a lot of XP!).

So, I returned to Herblore Habitat and caught sixty-three Jadinkos for my challenge. I turned them in for my reward and then returned to Divination!

I camped out at the Seer's Village area for a long time. I spent ages there, and it wasn't until right before I was going to log off that I achieved level 40 Divination. I still had about 100 Glowing Energy left, so I gave them to another player for free to aid in his XP.

Before I logged off for the night, I paid a quick visit to the next Divination area: South-east Relleka. There were quite a few people here as well, and because there were no trees, it was much easier to click the Chronicle Fragments.

It looks like 99 Divination is going to take quite a long time... But it's about time Runescape had another difficult 99! I'm going to grind away at it for a long time, and hopefully get it into the 90 region.

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

Today was my first full shift of my new job. It's not terribly exciting; basically I set up shelves in retail stores. That's what you get as a new highschool graduate

Because of my new job, I didn't really get as much Runescape time as I would have liked... But, I guess that's the real world. When I did get to play Runescape, I went all-out on Divination. I really like its simplicity, and the small communities it builds from area to area is really quite neat.

The XP was painfully slow, but I didn't mind. I hadn't experienced a grind like this for years! 99 Divination sure is going to take a while... I camped out at the Relleka area for most of the day, slowly gaining XP and Chronicle Fragments. For some reason, I seemed to be exceptionally adept at collecting these orange particles. I clicked them as fast as I could, and even if I was further away than another player, I still managed to get it first. I earned the title "Sniper" amongst the other players, and some of them just gave up, leaving more for me!

For today's daily challenge, I was given the task of harvesting 100 Sparkling Memories! That worked out pretty well! The reward for completing it was pretty meager, but bonus XP is bonus XP.

After a long time, I finally achieved level 50 Divination! The next area was in Karamja, just north-east of Shilo Village. I figured that the best way of getting there was to use the Fairy Ring to the west, so that's how I've been accessing it.

I trained there for quite a while, until I hit level 52 Divination. I've got another full day of work tomorrow, so I logged off for the night. I think I've gained twice as much Hunter XP as I have Divination XP!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Glad you're staying positive and just thinking of it like old-school skilling rather than a stupid skill

@ EasyScaping: Takes me back to the old days of mining coal in the Mining Guild for XP!

Hi!

I unfortunately don't have much time to write today, but I can say that I achieved level 57 Divination! Only a couple more levels to go until I can have a change of scenery

Good night!

Hi!

I got off of work early today, so that meant a bit more time to train Divination! I only had three levels until I could escape the jungles of Karamja, so I wasted no time in gaining XP.

The Chronicle Fragments were actually becoming a legitimate way to train Hunter! I was gaining around 950xp for each one, and because I captured so many, I was effectively training two skills at once. At this rate, I should have 99 Hunter before 99 Divination!

I gathered memories for quite some time, slowly gaining XP. I gained a couple levels, and eventually, I finally achieved level 60 Divination! I made my boon and before I left to be with my girlfriend for a while, I checked out the next area: Mobilising Armies.

It seemed like a pretty good spot; no trees, very close to a bank, and not as many people. Definitely an improvement!

Hours later, I trained for a bit longer at Mobilising Armies, slowly gaining Divination XP. When I logged off, I was just off of level 61 Divination!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!
