--May 30, 2011--
I logged on today and was still at Daemonheim. I gathered my Slayer gear and headed off for some Aberrant Spectre killing. I was hoping for a clue scroll (I love them!), so I equipped my Ring of Wealth. I teleported via Ectophial to the Ectofuntus, where I made my long and arduous journey to the Slayer Tower. I entered, and ran by that shortcut that I was only one Agility level away from using.
Finally at the Aberrant Spectres, I entered their chamber. Wow! It was packed! Not a single Aberrant Spectre was left un-attacked! I switched worlds to World 70. Only a few people there... I could live with that.
I started the onslaught. I wasn't getting very good drops. I got a few Grimy Ranarrs, a few Charms, seeds, and other random herbs. Every time my Ring of Wealth shone, my eyes lit up, hoping for riches. But for the most part, it was simply an Uncut Ruby or Emerald. I killed a few more, and when I had killed a total of 48, I got the drop I was looking for. A Hard Clue Scroll! I couldn't wait to get started! Who knew what I would get? Perhaps even a piece of Third Age Armour! I had 137 more monsters to go, so I persuaded myself to get down to at least 100 left. 0DarkKnight PMed me again, and we chatted. He was going for 99 Cooking, but had run out of money to buy lobsters. I suggested that he fish his lobsters, but he only needed 3m, and it probably would be faster to simply make the 3m. He asked me how I made my money, so I told him Runecrafting. He had 99 Woodcutting, so I told him that he should try cutting Magic Logs.
He had gotten rid of his Dragon Hatchet (Try and rid his memory of the horrible Ivy no doubt), so I told him that I would lend him my Dragon Hatchet for 24 hours. We decided to meet at the Grand Exchange. I teleported with my Ectophial again, and ran to the Port Phasmatys bank, where I teleported to Varrock. I ran to the Grand Exchange, and met with him at the entrance to it. He was wearing his Woodcutting cape.

I told him that to borrow my Dragon Hatchet for 24 hours would cost him 100k. He responded with an awkward "Ah... Ummmm... Mhmmm...". I wasn't really intending to charge him of course; I just wanted to put him in an awkward postition (My evil sense of humour)
I laughed, and told him I was kidding. I couldn't see it, but I bet there was some relief flooding his face! I lent it to him and we hung out there, talking about all sorts of stuff. At one point, a player came running up to me, asking to borrow my Abyssal Whip. I would have... But I had just lent my Dragon Hatchet to 0DarkKnight!
We chatted for a long time, and I even showed him my trusty Octopus! We spotted a Combat Botter, one of the Hill Giant ones. We followed it, and reported it. We hung around there, at that house that you need a Brass Key to enter. I began mauling level 5 Goblins and burying the bones, just for the fun of it! We chatted longer. TheSpiffiest was going to teach me how to play Castle Wars, and the next game was in just a few minutes. I bade farewell to 0DarkKnight and ran to the Grand Exchange, where I used a Ring of Dueling to teleport to Castle Wars. I switched worlds to TheSpiffiest's world, where he gave me an Unholy Symbol. Apparently I couldn't bring in a cape or helmet, so I had to deposit them. I entered the Waiting Area, where for some reason, I had been transformed into a sheep. A minute later, the game started.
I was a little confused, so I stocked up on bandages and exited the Respawn Room. Down below, I found TheSpiffiest, and he told me to pick up some Explosive Potions, to blow up barricades. I took eight of them, and then rana round my base, attacking random intruders.
It was definitely different than anything else I had tried before. My character seemed to be having troubles attacking... Almost like he didn't have Auto-Retaliate on or something. I didn't really have any strategy; I just attacked the first person I saw.

I died tons of times, usually from level 138 melee warriors or Ice Barrage. At one point, I ran over to the enemy camp, and started attacking everyone. I somehow didn't die, and more of my teammates came filtering in. One of these teammates actually retrieved the flag, and as soon as everyone saw he had it, we all chased after him. I was crossing the middle bridge when a level 138 used a Dragon Claw Special Attack on me. Luckily for me, he didn't hit at all with it!
By the time I reached our base, I was in a swamp of enemies. I attacked one, who then proceeded to kill me in only two hits.
I found an archer hiding in a corner. I ran over to attack him, but he ran behind me, where he set up a Barricade. Tricky... I destroyed that one, but he set up another just ahead of me. I could see that I had obviously fallen blindly into his trap! I still had those eight Explosive Potions though, so I used them all up, and chased after the archer. Another player joined me, and we chased after him together.
Fire Typhoon PMed me, and he wanted me to invite him to Mining Golds. Unfortunately, I was having a conversation with him, TheSpiffiest, 0DarkKnight and in my clan all at the same time, so it took me a while to respond. He thought that I was having a down day because I didn't respond
The other player and I hounded down the archer, and killed him. The game ended. I had gotten... 0 tickets! What was this? I just played a whole game of Castle Wars! I had gotten 2 kills as well though!
I took out my Ring of Kinship and teleported to Daemonheim, where Fire Typhoon would be waiting for an invitation. I switched to his world and waited for him to exit his dungeon. He eventually came, and I invited him. Mining Golds welcomed him heartily!
I logged for dinner time and when I came back on it was time. Time for Clues! I got out my Clue gear.
Now this had to have been the longest clue ever. I had just finished my first step when Lion0f Judah PMed me though.

He was in quite the predicament! He was doing a Clue Scroll himself, and he was actually trapped in the Elf Woods. His clue had taken him to a secluded area, guarded by a vicious trap. The trap had taken his health out majorly, and by the time he had past it, he didn't have enough health to defeat the Saradomin Wizard! He wanted me to bring him some food. I took a Charter Ship over to Port Tyras, and with Lion0f Judah's careful directions, I finally found him. I failed the trap a few times myself, but finally made it through.
I gave him the food (he was quite grateful) and he finished his clue. We exited the area, and he showed me a penguin that happened to be in the area. Then he tried to give me his Clue Reward as a thank-you! Well that wasn't going to happen. He started spamming the Trade option, but I said "Bye lol" as I teleported to Edgeville, him still trying to give me his items.
I finished the rest of my clue, I had to do a Puzzle Box (I hate those things!) and was forced to fight at least five Saradomin Wizards. Finally, I finished the clue.
I got a Rune Full Helm, Rune Platelegs, Rune Crossbow, Black D'Hide Legs, and an Enchanted Top. About 167k, not too bad!
I was done for the day, so I logged off.
Well thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed youself!
Good night!

Hi everyone!
I started off today in the Grand Exchange. Now I was planning on finishing off that Slayer task, but I had been checking around the forums to find a good way to make money. I had stumbled upon one technique that really caught my eye: Killing Chaos Dwarves for Dragon Pickaxes.
I had heard of this method before, but back then, I was a complete combat noob (Because I'm not anymore...?). I needed to complete the quest "Forgivness of a Chaos Dwarf" to unlock the battlefield though, so I checked out what the requirements were for that. I was only one quest off! I had to complete "Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf". So off to work I went. I checked out what items I needed, and for the most part, they were pretty easy to obtain.
After getting a whole variety of random items, I took a minecart down to Keldagrim to start the quest. Now as my policy, I don't give away any quest details. But I'll mention some of the notable parts.
I disembarked from my minecart. I had been thinking about starting up a Friend's Chat for a while, you know, something casual where people could just hang out, and, every once and a while, do an event or two. I was already in Friend's Chat "MG", so I exited from that and entered my Friend's Chat. Surprisingly, 0DarkKnight was already in there! I acknowledged him and looked at my Friend's Chat settings.
I really long time ago, I had set up a clan channel called "Assignments". This was before the major Clan revamp, and was intended to be a clan for people to hang out, and I would give them an assignment to train for that day. It didn't really go anywhere though... I didn't exactly try and bring it to life.
So in the Friend's Chat settings, I renamed my channel "TBA", an acronym for "The Blundering Adventurer". After a while of fiddling around, I finally figured how to promote people, so I made 0DarkKnight a Recruit. 0DarkKnight and I chatted for a while, and I found out that he was planning on making a clan.

So about my new Friend's Chat: Basically, it's a place where players can just hang out and chat, and every once and a while, we would do an event. By all means, come and join! All you have to do is enter "Grimwold2" into the Friend's Chat. It's just a Friend's Chat, not a clan remember; It's not going to be super-official. I'll see how this goes. If lots of people join up, then I'll start planning some wicked events, like Fight Pits and Stealing Creation! Maybe even Boss Killing... Well, I'll se how it goes.
I started the quest. After some time, I came to a part where I had to grow some hops. I planted them, and then found out that you had to wait for 20 minutes! Well that was unexpected. I decided to do my first Herb Run for a long time. I teleported to Falador and picked those Toadflax; I got 4. Then I teleported to Ardougne. At that patch, I ran out of inventory space. I hadn't deposited my previous batch, and my inventory was already jam-packed with quest items. I teleported back to Ardougne (That's how lazy I can be sometimes) and banked my other Toadflax. Back at the Herb Patch, I got one more herb. I replanted and decided to use my Penguin Points.
I had no idea how many Penguin Points I had, and I wanted to use them on Farming. I spoke to Chuck, and apparently I had 38 Penguin Points. Not too bad! I traded them in for experience, and used them all on Farming. I was expecting to get somewhere around 16,000 experience. Instead, I got 42,000! That got me from level 45 all the way to level 50 Farming! Wow. I had better spy on those penguins a lot more often!
I still had more Farming to do, so I teleported to the Ectofuntus and ran west to the Herb Patch. This time, I had remembered to deposit the Toadflax. I started picking them. I passed the usual 5 mark... and filled what was left of my inventory! That was about 9, so I ran to the Port Phasmatys bank and deposited them. I ran back and got 3 more! Wow, a total of 12 Toadflax, all from one patch!

I relpanted and teleported to Camelot, where I ran to the Catherby bank and deposited my Toadflax. I ran to the patch. Awww... They had died. I dug them up and replanted. I teleported to Varrock to get to the minecarts. Passing through the Grand Exchange, I noticed a green dot on the minimap. I moused over to see who it was. It was 0DarkKnight! He was training Herblore it looked like, and when I went over there, he ran over to a player with a Runecrafting Cape and asked to see the emote. He still hadn't noticed me there; I was in marine stealth mode! (Octopus of course!)
He saw me after a while. He had just gotten level 65 Defence, and wanted to borrow my Bandos Chestplate. There were no monsters that I had to kill in the quest, so I agreed. He only wanted it for an hour anyways. I lent it to him, and he started partying! It was the very first time he had worn one, and he was so happy!
I said good bye and took a minecart to Keldagrim. Thankfully, the hops were done growing. I harvested them, and started on the next part of the quest, fermenting them. I added the correct ingredients, and then found out that it took 10 minutes to ferment! Well I guess that's a lot shorter than in real life, but it still stunk. I didn't having anything to do, so I invited Seriousruss to my new-found Friend's Chat. He joined, and I made him a Recruit. Seriousruss, 0DarkKnight and I chatted for... Can you guess? 10 minutes! Finally, the fermenting was done! Seriousruss thought that my Friend's Chat name, "TBA" stood for "To be announced"... Maybe I should change it to "Blog" or something.
I continued with the quest for a little while, but I was not even halfway through it, and it was getting a little late. I bade farewell to the first two members of "TBA" and to me clan and logged off.
Well that was it for today! I really do hope you consider joining my Friend's Chat. We'll have a blast!
I hope you enjoyed reading today's entry!
Good night!

--June 1, 2011--
Hey everyone!
Well today was what I like to call "Questy". I guess you can figure out what I did most of the time.
I logged on and was still halfway through the quest "Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf". I worked for a while on that quest, using Runescape Wiki as my guide. After a while, I had completed the quest. I got level 51 Farming from the experience reward! I also unlocked the Guitar Player emote to boot!
Well now that I had completed that quest, I had all the requirements for "Forgivness of a Chaos Dwarf". I would have started that quest right away, but I had done my homework on camping out at the Dwarf Cannoneers. Apparently, a good tactic was to wear Proselyte Armour to boost Prayer bonuses. Now there was a problem... To unlock Proselyte Armour, I had to complete the quest "Slug Menace". But to unlock that quest, I needed to complete "Wanted!". And to unlock that, I needed to complete "Recruitment Drive" and "The Lost Tribe". Wow. I had a lot of quests on my plate all of a sudden!
I don't know why, but I find completing quests very satisfying. Probably the notion that I will never ever have to do it again. Like for skills, gaining a level is nice, but you don't feel some huge sense of accomplishment... Unless you get 99 (or 120). And that's because you know that you are under no obligation to continue with that skill. So although I don't particularly enjoy quests, I do enjoy completing them... A vicious relationship, if I must say.
Well the next quest on the list was Recruitment Drive. I glided through that easily! I had no hitches or anything.
After that was the quest "The Lost Tribe". This quest took a little longer, but only becuase it wasn't localized like Recruitment Drive was. The best part of completing this quest was unlocking the Goblin Bow and Goblin Salute emote! This was great! Three emotes unlocked in one day!
I then started "Wanted!".

This quest gave me some grief. And the sad part was that I didn't even get to complete it! I logged off before I even finished the quest! It was at the beginning...
I had to speak to Sir Tiffy Cashien to start the quest. He wanted me to speak to Sir Amik Varze, who was in the White Knight Castle. I spoke with him, then ran all the way back to Sir Tiffy Cashien. I had one monster of a conversation with him, then I had to report back to Sir Amik Varze. So I ran all the way to him, and spoke with him. I had just clicked "Click to Continue" when I realized I had clicked the wrong chat option. I tried walking out during the middle of the conversation, but it didn't matter. I had to run back to Sir Tiffy Cashien, tell him I did it wrong, then go back to Sir Amik Varze again.
For some reason, I thought I had chosen the wrong option again, so I ran all the way back to Sir Tiffy Cashien during the middle of the converstaion. Well then, of course, I discovered that I HAD chosen the right option. So I had to run all the way back to Sir Amik Varze for the millionth time and redo the whole conversation. Finally, I got it right. I continued through the quest for a little bit, then logged off. A little too many quests for me!
So this is a little bit of a short post, so I think I'll mention my views on the new updates for June. First up: Auras.
I'm going to be frank here. If this 'slot' that they speak of is like a cape slot or foot slot, I don't think this will be a good idea. Players can equip tons of items as it is, and I don't think Runescape needs more equippable items.
The Troll D&D: I actually think this will be a really neat Distraction and Diversion. It will be pretty fun to either kill or help defend from the Trolls, especially since you get experience as a reward. In fact, as soon as it gets released, I'll probably go do it right away!
