@ Balrog Titan: Welcome back!

Hi!

I unfortunately didn't have time to write yesterday, but I can assure you nothing too interesting happened It was my first day off of work, so I training Divination for a few hours while watching Chopped on the Food Network. By the end of August 24th, I was level 65 Divination!

Today, I logged on at the Mobilising Armies training area and was immediately told by my clanmate Snugs to go to World 54 and trade another clanmate named Westfeild at the Grand Exchange. I added him to my Friends List and and Quick Hopped over to his world. Because Mobilising Armies is so close to a bank, I made my way to the Grand Exchange incredibly quickly, and found Westfeild at the fountain.

It turns out that he was quitting Runescape, and was giving money to anyone who traded him. I actually received 10m from him! It will not go to waste!

The rest of my time was dedicated to Divination. I really didn't have that much time to play today, but I did manage to level Divination from 65 to 67! I also managed to level Hunter to level 96 via the Duke's Bonus XP and a daily challenge to hunt Jadinkos

I have to go now, sorry for the short entries! Thanks for reading, good night!

Wow, what a busy couple of days! I really didn't have time to write in the past couple days, so I'll just post now

Divination. Lots of Divination. My full-time job takes up the vast majority of my day (6am to 4pm), and when I got home, I'd usually go see my girlfriend for the evening.

When I did play Runescape, I was always training Divination. I really like the social aspect of it, and I really don't want to get left in the dust due to me not training it! I hear the lower level areas (10-40) are pretty desolate already, so I figure it's only a matter of time until all of the areas under 80 are void of players.

I slowly chipped away at my XP, until I hit level 68, which is where I'm at currently. I did my daily challenges every day, which I have set to be either Hunter or Divination. I'm sure doing a Hunter challenge every day would be much more beneficial... But man, Jadinkos sure are tedious

I've already noticed the level 60 training area at Mobilising Armies getting emptier. I'm not sure whether it's the result of people moving on to the next zone, or losing interest in the skill itself. Good thing I'm almost done with the area; Canifis is close on the horizon, as well as the company of more of my clanmates!

I apologize for not posting every day, but the days are just so busy! It's nice to have other things to do in the day though. In the past, I've no-lifed Runescape pretty hard, and I usually started feeling depressed after. A little Runescape here and there is nice

Thanks for reading!

Hi!

I logged on today after work, eager to try and get out of the Mobilising Armies Divination training area. A week has passed now since Divination's release, and this area has become noticeable emptier. The time could also play a role here too though; I was playing at about 6pm, and because I live in the PST timezone, most other players were either getting ready for bed or sleeping.

I browsed Reddit and Youtube for a bit while training, listening to music at the same time. I started looking around for artists that are similar to the ones I like, but I can never find any quite to my liking. I'm really into soft electronic music, like liquid DnB and ambience. Feint , Blackmill and 7 Minutes Dead have got to be among my favourite artists. Connections by Feint and Delayed Friend Request by 7 Minutes Dead are just so catchy!

It took some time, but eventually I achieved level 69 Divination, boosting me up to a total level of 2540! I took a little break here, but soon came back. I wanted that level 70!

I trained for over an hour, slowly chipping away at that XP. I logged off rather early n the evening; I have to get up at 6am to work

I didn't achieve level 70 Divination today, but I'm pretty sure I will soon. Tomorrow or the day after, at the latest. I'm only 18,000xp away!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

I've been working pretty hard at this new job of mine, and it seems it's started paying off... Besides financially. I've been chosen to help the manager out with some stuff when everyone else leaves for a day off! I might not seem like much, but he said that I seemed to be a very capable guy who knew what he was doing. It means a lot to me; I hate it when hard work goes unnoticed.

Anyways, I logged on to Runescape today for a bit, eager to finally leave the Mobilising Armies area. I didn't have long to go! I gathered memories for a while, and my daily challenge happened to be a Divination one! The challenge, combined with its reward and training the skill itself finally resulted in me achieving level 70 Divination! I headed out to the Canifis area, the 70+ zone, right away.

It's funny, I can recognize many players in the new zone from the previous one! JimiHendrix was there, as was Daniepoo, and Sax b00n... I love that community feeling! There were definitely more people here though, so capturing Chronicle Fragments proved to be quite a bit more difficult.

At my Player-Owned Ports, today was a monumental day. I finally smithed my very own Tetsu armour. The helm, body and legs, all at once! I had actually had enough plate to do that ages ago, but I had smithed the tradeable ones for a bit of cash. Now, I finally had the armour for myself!

I trained at the Canifis zone for a bit, pleased with the increase in XP gains. Level 80 will probably take a long time to achieve, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually. I am really curious as to whether I'll hit 99 Hunter before 99 Divination... That would be nice!

I've got to go, catch you all later! Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

I had a short day at work today! I came back four hours earlier than normal, and started training some Divination. I heard the news that Im Choice had achieved 99 Divination too; he used to be in my clan, so I think it's super cool that someone I knew achieved something so monumental in Runescape!

I gathered memories for a while, until I eventually achieved level 71 Divination! Man, the levels are really slowing down now... 99 will take forever I was actually online when Drumgun maxed though, so that was pretty neat!

My daily challenge today was to catch sixty-three Jadinkos. It's pretty boring, but the Hunter XP is fantastic. Speaking of challenges, the Super Challenges in September look really fascinating! I'll definitely try and complete each and every one of them!

After completing the challenge and handing it in, I logged off for a bit to hang out with my girlfriend. When I logged on again that night, I trained Divination a bit more and then logged off. I'm really excited about these Super Challenges; they sound like a lot of fun!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

I'm actually writing this a day late, as the forums were down for most of the day.

I didn't play Runescape too much today, but I did manage to achieve level 72 Divination! For most of the day, I was out of town with my girlfriend! I had told her that we were just going out for a little walk, but then surprised her when I revealed that I had planned a whole day out!

We went mini-golfing, played in the arcade and took a walk through an old-growth forest. After that, we stopped at a local farmer's market and bought some ice-cream. It was an awesome day, and I had a fantastic time!

In the evening, when I returned home, I logged back on to Runescape and was met with my first Super Challenge: Activate ten Portents of Restoration.

I needed level 77 Divination to use Lustrous Energy, so I headed back to Mobilising Armies to use the energy there. I gathered tons of energy there, and used ten monkfish to make my portents. Now to use them...

I wasn't really interested in bossing, so I decided the quickest way to use them would be to stand in a pit of Hellhounds and wait for them to attack me. I teleported to Taverly, entered the dungeon and used the shortcut to quickly get to the Hellhounds.

It was so easy! I literally stood there as the hellhounds attacked me, and my portents activated one by one until I had completed the challenge. I headed to the Quartermaster to hand it in, along with a Divination challenge I had completed. The Super Challenge let me pick which skill would receive XP, so I poured it onto Hunter.

I had three spins, and two of them gave me a Clover Necklace! I had a three-leaf Clover and a four-leaf clover! I threw on the four-leaf one and started training Divination. I didn't get anything great from it, apart from a couple XP Lamps

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hey folks!

Another busy couple of days! September first was a pretty big day for me: Usually at this point in the year, I would be no-lifing Runescape as hard as I could, trying to pack in as much play time as I could before school started again. But now that I'm working, I have no pressures at all! Oddly enough, I enjoy the work world much, much more than school.

On Runescape, I was given a Hunter challenge, along with a Super Challenge, which required me to obtain 200 Divine Tears from the Battle of Lumbridge. It was pretty late at night by the time I logged on, so I quickly completed the Super Challenge and logged off for the night. As usual, I put the XP into Hunter!

Today (September 2nd), I logged on after work and noticed the new Super Challenge... I needed to dance beside ten other people! I knew that was going to be difficult, so I immediately hopped over to World 2 and looked around for some mobs of people. I actually saw a Music Box lying on the ground! I ran over to it and started dancing, while chanting things like " Dance, everybody daaaance! " and " Hooby hooby hoo ha" . Not sure what that meant, but it felt right, and it seemed to work! More and more people flocked to me, and eventually, I completed the challenge! Thank goodness too... I could see that challenge being quite difficult on the future.

The next thing on my to-do list was that Hunter challenge from yesterday. I headed out to the Herblore Habitat and spent a while catching Amphibious Jadinkos. It didn't take too long to catch sixty-three, but it was still mind-numbing... It's the new Agility

Once I had completed the task, I headed to Canifis real quick and completed my Divination Challenge. And before I stopped by Burthorpe, I made a pitstop at my Player-Owned Port.

(Continued)

Now that I had all three sets of armour from the ports, my Trade Goods were solely used for making money. I've accrued a fair amount of Chi since crafting my Sea Singer's Robes, so I can't wait to start making more armour to sell! Jagex said they're releasing more content to Player-Owned Ports too, so that will be fun

A stop at Burthorpe rewarded me with about 100,000 Hunter XP and 2000 Divination XP. Time well spent, considering I didn't have too long to play these past couple of days. I'm super close to level 74 Divination too... Only 4500xp to go!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!
