Tonight I completed Daily Challenges in Cooking, Prayer, and Combat.
I brought 10 raw crayfish and 10 sets of big bones to the yew trees west of Lumbridge Market. I chopped a yew log and burned it. I cooked the crayfish over the yew log fire, then cremated the big bones. Then I teleported to Edgeville, where I entered the dungeon and dispatched two dozen poison spiders.
I used the Challenge XP lamp to reach 73 Ranged.
Then I decided to train Magic. I teleported to Al Kharid and mined a total of 30 gold ores. I smelted these ores into gold bars, which I crafted into gold amulets. I used my Explorer's Ring to cast Low-Level Alchemy on the amulets. When I had finished, I still needed a few hundred more XP until I would gain the next level. So I opted for another method.
I took my Tower Mindspike and 20 law runes from my bank and teleported to Falador. I headed north to the captured temple near the goblin village. I cast Telekinetic Grab to obtain a Wine of Zamorak. This action angered the monks greatly. Four of them attacked me all at once! I slew two monks, but they damaged me for a little over half my life points. I ran out of the temple and lured the remaining monks outside. Then I doubled back and snuck into the temple again. Only one monk was guarding the wine. I killed him and healed some. I repeated this process several times until I was healed up. Then I Tele-grabbed another wine. This time, three monks became hostile towards me, including one just outside the doorway. I quickly slaughtered one monk inside the temple, then ran outside and got the one firing magic at me through the doorway. When I went back inside, the third monk was still marked, but was no longer aggressive. However, I was. The monk died, as did several more after him.
This was fun, but the entire process was taking too long. So I teleported out with my loot (2 Wines of Zamorak, 10 sets of bones, and a Zamorak Robe bottom) after I buried one set of bones.

I arrived in Varrock and headed for the west bank. I banked the loot I had obtained from the monks. Then I went downstairs and observed the treasure locked away behind the bars of the vault. It seemed a shame to leave such shiny golden items down there gathering dust. So I decided to Tele-grab the treasure I was able to reach. I liberated a gold necklace, a gold bar, and four small piles of coins.
I ended up casting a total of 8 Telekinetic Grab spells. This was enough to attain 73 Magic.
To avoid being spotted leaving the vault, I teleported to Lumbridge. I crafted the gold bar into a ring, then I teleported back to Varrock. I entered the Grand Exchange, where I sold the gold ring for 1,646gp and the gold necklace for 284gp.

Tonight I completed Daily Challenges in Dungeoneering, Firemaking, and Cooking.
I used a challenge token to skip the Dungeoneering task. Next, I used 10 protean logs to build a bonfire east of the Lumbridge Market bank chest. Then I cooked 10 crayfish over the bonfire.
Redeeming these challenges got me 91 Firemaking.
I am nearly halfway there.

This afternoon I completed Daily Challenges in Woodcutting, Cooking, and Runecrafting.
I brought 10 raw crayfish to the yew trees west of Lumbridge Market. I chopped 11 yew logs, burned one of these logs, then I cooked the crayfish over the fire. I banked the crayfish and the logs. Then I took my body talisman and 27 rune essence to the Body Altar in Edgeville, where I crafted 62 body runes.
Redeeming these challenges got me 77 Woodcutting.

Nine days ago, I accumulated enough XP lamps to raise my melee skills as follows:
I used a giant prismatic lamp to attain 78 Attack.
I used a second giant prismatic lamp to attain 78 Defence and combat level 99.
I used two huge prismatic lamps to attain 78 Strength.
I used all my remaining prismatic lamps (1 huge, 4 medium) to attain 78 Constitution.
Before I rubbed these lamps, I used two extra medium lamps to gain Magic and Ranged XP.
I am not certain what happened to my diary entry, but Gielinor did suffer a worldwide disruption on that day. I would not be surprised if the resulting chaos caused my entry to vanish. At least you are now caught up, Diary. Sorry I did not notice this sooner.

This afternoon I completed Daily Challenges in Dungeoneering, Fishing, and Cooking.
I used a challenge token to skip the Dungeoneering task. Next, I caught 28 raw crayfish behind the Lumbridge church. I banked all but 10 of these crayfish. These I cooked on a yew log fire west of Lumbridge Market.
Redeeming these challenges got me 74 Cooking. I now possess the skill to no longer burn lobster or cake. I will need to gain a dozen more Cooking levels before I stop burning swordfish.

Early this morning I returned from my 17th trip to Daemonheim. It had been about two and a half months since I last explored these dungeons.
I cleared Floor 18 on Complexity 6.
The home room had four doors. The south door was blocked by a wooden barricade, while the north door featured a magical barrier I had to dispel. These skill doors I easily bypassed. However, I could not get past the dark spirit on the west door. Exorcising it required 91 Prayer. The east door was locked by a purple wedge key.
To access a room to the north, I had to burn some debris. There were no puzzle rooms.
In various rooms I battled a level 90 forgotten warrior (who dropped an argonite plateskirt, which I wore to the end of this floor), a level 93 dungeon spider, and two level 36 brutes. These were decent fights. The other foes I fought were no challenge at all.
I found enough rusty coins to buy four zephyrium ores, which I smelted and smithed into a zephyrium full helm, gauntlets and boots. I have a zephyrium platebody, plateskirt, and 2h sword bound to me.
In the boss room (behind that purple wedge door) I fought Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter for the first time. This boss fight was over quickly. This "magical and powerful demon" did not hit that hard, but it drained my stats - and not just my combat stats, as the Unholy Cursebearer did on Floor 17. Even my member skills were drained! I had to act fast before this level 7 demon could drain my combat stats too much. I overwhelmed Har'Lakk with my fury, and a flurry of special attacks. The demon died. I ate no food during this battle.
Har'Lakk dropped a zephyrium rapier and an off-hand fractite rapier.
Before leaving the dungeon, I sold all my food and my unbound armor so I could buy more logs to train Firemaking and some rune essence to train Runecrafting.
Completing this dungeon also completed a Daily Dungeoneering Challenge.
I unlocked Floor 19.

Early this morning, I completed Daily Challenges in Prayer, Smithing, and Thieving.
I cremated 10 sets of big bones on a yew log fire west of Lumbridge Market. Next, I smithed 150 rune arrowheads at the Lumbridge anvil. Then I stole a loaf of bread and four cakes from a bakery stall at Lumbridge Market.
Redeeming these challenges got me 81 Prayer.
A little later this morning, I took a trip to Karamja to do some fishing. After I had summoned 6 swordfish and 9 tuna from the water, I reached 74 Fishing. I caught and noted a total of 23 swordfish and 31 tuna. Then I picked two dozen bananas and climbed down into the volcano.to battle some lesser demons.
I slew several demons. In addition to coins, I received 6 fire runes, 2 black 2h swords, 2 black longswords, a medium piece of bladed mithril salvage, a piece of grimy guam, and a cooked lobster. I ate 10 bananas while fighting the demons. I also killed a deadly red spider and two giant bats inside the volcano. The second bat dropped a piece of batwing. I teleported out, sold the swords and the salvage, and banked everything else.

This afternoon I completed Daily Challenges in Fletching, Fishing, and Mining.
I created 200 headless arrows from 10 oak logs. Next, I caught 14 raw crayfish behind the Lumbridge church. Then I teleported to Varrock and made my way to the southeast mine, where I mined 20 adamantite ores and found four geodes containing three spirit shards and an uncut opal. I successfully cut the opal.
Redeeming these challenges got me 78 Fletching.
