What a busy couple of days! I hadn't had the opportunity to play Runescape too much these past few days, due to work and real-life commitments, but I always made sure I logged on to do the Super September Challenge.

Eating 50 bananas was actually fairly difficult. I though I'd have the bright idea to go to the Karamja Banana Plantation and pick the bananas for myself, but it seems that everyone else had thought the same thing! For the first time ever, all of the banana trees were empty! I hopped from world to world, but every single one was no different.

Eventually, I waited a few hours and picked some bananas for myself. I was also given some by a random player standing in the plantation!

For the most part, I've been training Divination and doing daily tasks. Because of Super September, Hunter challenges give absolutely phenomenal XP, usually about 88,000! I'm actually getting pretty close to 97 Hunter!

Today, I completed the "Bulldog" challenge, along with a Hunter challenge and a Divination challenge. I achieved level 75 Divination, so I guess it was pretty successful! My girlfriend came down with strep throat, so I guess I won't be seeing her too often for a couple of days... Which will probably mean more Runescape time!

It looks like Divination speeds up at 80-85, so I can't wait until I hit that area! Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

Because of my girlfriend's affliction, I stayed home all night playing Runescape! I didn't really do too much online anyways besides Divination, but it was a lot of fun! I had been given a Hunter challenge today, and because I was so close to level 97, completing the challenge allowed me to achieve level 97 Hunter! Only two levels to go! Not bad, considering I've been trying to avoid actually training the skill

Today's Super September Challenge was particularly difficult... All you had to do was talk to ten "Kings/Queens or Heroes", but for some reason nearly every king or queen I traveled to didn't count towards the challenge! Mining Golds helped a lot with this challenge, as everyone in the clan was kind of trying to work together to finish it.

My first stop was at Varrock, where I spoke to the King and Queen. I immediately went for Miscellania too; I knew there was a King and Queen there. After that, I wasn't too sure... The Tree Gnome Village King counted towards the challenge, but for some reason, the heroes within the Legend's Guild didn't.

A clanmate named Maxing Panda told us that the king of Jatizso worked, so we all headed out to the little island and spoke with him. I tried hunting around for some of the signature heroes, but it was useless. They could be anywhere in the world! I stopped by Chief Brundt only to be disappointed, but I was very pleased to see *enia counted towards the challenge! 7/10 so far!

Next was the King of Ardougne, along with the King of Camelot, King Arthur. Both of them worked! The very last NPC I spoke to to complete the challenge was Ozan, who I ran into north of Falador. That was actually a fairly difficult challenge!

For the rest of the evening, I camped out at Divination, and actually achieved level 76!

Good night!

Hi!

I logged on today and went straight to Divination training. I had just achieved level 76 the day prior, so I had a full level to gain to reach level 77. I chipped and chiseled away at the XP, taking breaks here and there to go rock climbing and play some chess with my brother.

Eventually, the daily tick rolled by and I was given a Hunter challenge, along with a new Super September challenge. Hmm... I hadn't played Soul Wars in a long time! I headed over to the minigame and threw on some magic gear.

After waiting in the waiting room for a while, I was finally thrown into a game! Unfortunately, I soon realized that I had forgotten runes, and so I couldn't actually attack anybody! There was really no use in just running around dying, so I stayed in the graveyard until my Activity Bar ran out.

After getting kicked out, I ran to the bank and quickly grabbed my runes. Then, I entered the opposite team and waited to join. It took a lot longer this time, but when I finally entered the game, my cape was the opposite colour than it should have been for some reason. I was a Blue Cape attacking other Blue Capes! I can tell you, that was highly useful when it came to sneaking past people. Alas, when I died the bug fixed itself and I was given the correct colour of cape.

With that challenge completed, I ate dinner and completed my Hunter challenge. Then, I headed back to Divination, where I finally achieved level 77! I camped out there for a little while into the evening, but man... I think my new job is affecting my sleep schedule. I used to be able to play Runescape until midnight without feeling tired, but it is currently 9:54pm and I feel like I could fall asleep on my desk

So, I think I'm going to head to bed. Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Hi!

The last day of the weekend! I spent a lot of the day outside going for walks, but when I was back home, I played Runescape. Training Divination, of course!

I grinded away at Divination as normal, checking out websites like 4chan, Reddit and others to pass the time. I read some great stories online too, like A Sound of Thunder . I'd definitely recommend it.

Hours passed, and the day rolled by. My girlfriend still has strep throat, so I couldn't even call her, let alone visit her. I've been reading her a story over the phone every night though while she's sick. It's actually kind of fun, sharing stories that I like with someone else. I think tonight I'll read her the aforementioned

Today's Super September Challenge was pretty difficult... The challenge was to use the Cheer emote in the Falador Cabbage Patch while it was void of cabbages. I teleported there right away and met up with at least fifty other players. Everyone was running around randomly, trying to pick the cabbages as fast as they could, and I joined in, eager to aid the cause.

Eventually, we realized this strategy was useless. The cabbages respawned far too fast, and it was impossible to keep up. So, we decided to try and synchronize everyone by getting each player to stand on a cabbage spot and pick their cabbage all at the same time. As you might imagine, this level of synchronicity on Runescape was fairly difficult.

After fifteen minutes or so, everyone was in place, and we gave it an attempt... It worked! I started spamming the Cheer emote, and to my immense relief, I completed the challenge! Man, that was going to be one difficult challenge to complete as time goes on. I'm glad I got it out of the way!

I went back to Divination and eventually achieved level 78! Only two more levels to go until I can move on!

Thanks for reading!

Good night!

Phew, what a busy couple of days! I wasn't really able to play Runescape too much, but I did manage to achieve level 79 Divination, and make some nice headway towards level 80!

I actually found this cool game online called Cookie Clicker . It's somehow become pretty popular incredibly fast, and it's really addicting! It's perfect for AFKing... so much so that I've actually left my laptop on all night in order for it to progress :o

Anyways, I really haven't been able to play Runescape too much lately, so I hope that changes soon... I really want that level 80 Divination!

Good night!

Ahoy!

I logged on today and was given a Divination challenge along with the new Super September challenge. Because I was so close to level 80 Divination anyways, I decided to do that challenge first.

When I had gathered 100 Lustrous Memories, I headed out to Burthorpe... Where I finally achieved level 80 Divination! Finally, I could leave Canifis! I crafted my boon and banked the remaining Lustrous Energy I had. Now to complete the Super September challenge!

Today's challenge was to start and fill two different urns. I decided to go with Cooking and Woodcutting, because I figured they'd be fast to fill

I started with my Cracked Woodcutting Urn. Normal trees filled it pretty fast, but I thought that if I camped at Oak trees, I could stay at one tree longer, and fill my urn up faster! Unfortunately, I forgot that urns have a level cap on them... So I wasted 20 minutes at Oak Trees for nothing

After I went back to normal trees, I filled my urn very quickly. For my Cooking Urn, I cooked raw lobsters. It went pretty uneventfully.

Now it was time to visit my new Divination spot! For some reason I thought the Mage Training Arena was in the Wilderness (along with many others), so I trekked up to one of the most northern areas of Runescape in search oh Divination wisps.

I didn't find any... Confused, I consulted my map, which didn't even show any wisps in the Wilderness. Even more confused, I looked it up on the Runescape Wiki, only to see that the Mage Training Arena was actually closer to Al Kharid... Facepalm.

I headed over to the level 80 zone via a Fairy Ring, and started harvesting Brilliant Memories. The XP wasn't too much greater, but the change in scenery was definitely appreciated. Plus, I only have to stay here for five levels, instead of ten!

I camped out here for a while, gaining some Divination XP. There weren't many people here at all... Much less than in Canifis. I did a bit of Golden Chinchompa food trading with some clanmates to try and bolster my Dried Chillies rations, but because I get so few pieces of food, my poor little furry buddy is constantly hungry

I finally have a day off of work tomorrow, so I think I'm going to try and achieve at least level 81 Divination.

Thanks for reading!

Good night!
