Hi guys!
I started off today with flipping items as usual. I was chatting with Walwb while I was doing this, and we talked for quite some time. I was getting a little restless, so I decided to go with Walwb on whatever Slayer Task he had. Turns out that he had Basilisks. I donned my battlegear and hopped worlds. I used a Home teletab and ran through the long winding dungeon to the Basilisks. Walwb was there, so we started attacking.
As with the Bloodvelds, I started picking up not only the charms but the coins as well. By the end, I had around 9,000 coins! It was a little sad to watch all the bots walk by, heading off to the Turoths. I reported a lot of them as they walked by. The Basilisks were dropping tons of Green Charms!
Walwb was getting fairly close to 75 Defence, so I stopped killing and waited for him to get it. The fireworks went off, and I started the Hooba Hooba dance! Congratulations Walwb! I was actually getting very close to level 82 Attack! We killed tons of Basilisks, and by the time his task was over, I was only 2k away from getting level 82 Attack. I killed perhaps seven more, and I gained the level! Furthermore, I got level 106 Combat!
We were just about to leave when I noticed two bots walking together to the Turoths. I decided to go investigate the Turoth pit and see how many bots there were. Whoa. I've never seeen so many bots all in one place! There must have been at least seven or eight in there! I reported a bunch of them before I Home Teleported to Lumbridge.
My items had updated! I teleported to the Grand Exchange and tended to my items. I felt like doing... Conquest. Off to Void Island again!
My first match was pretty short-lived. Only ten turns in, the opponent offered a truce. I was afraid that he would resign if I declined it, so I accepted the truce. The next match was a little different.
His team looked almost the same as mine, except he had a Champion where I did not.

I made one fatal error: I had forgotten to activate Stoicism on my Archer! The enemy Scout killed him, and I started to fall apart. Soon, the only remaining troop I had was a single Halberdier, whereas he had two Foot Soldiers and a Champion. I gritted my teeth and put my foot down; I wasn't going out without a fight.
Against all odds, my Halberdier actually managed to kill his Champion and do heavy damage on one of his Foot Soldiers! He retreated, and I waited for my Commands to recharge. Finally, I had my Battle Cry for +200 Damage and my Charge for 2x movement! I ran in there and hit my heavy blow... On the wrong Foot Soldier. No! I had made it so far! But then a funny thing happened. The opponent logged out! Because he forfeit, I was declared the winner!
I quickly went to the Grand Exchange, tended to my items and made my way back to Void Island. My next match was interesting. This player had four Champions... and that was all! I destroyed his team! I think I only lost one archer!
The next match was another team that looked similar to mine. I started with my usual movement, my archers moving forward. My opponent must have been new to Conquest. He wasn't using his Commands too wisely, and I'm sorry to say that I actually managed to kill his entire team with only two archers
I played more Conquest matches. Some were good, some were long. There was one player who had eight Scouts! He was actually difficult to defeat. He would constantly boost his Scouts to insane levels, then destroy my team! In the end though, I managed to beat him. A couple people actually resigned the match. I hate it when people do that... Why can't they just call a Truce?
I headed back to the Grand Exchange for some heavy-duty merching. I merched for a long time, and by the time I was done, I was only 400k away from 10m!
It was time to take TheSpiffiest's advice; It was time to go to the Warrior's Guild and attempt to obtain some Defenders!

I already had a full set of Mithril Armour in my bank for the very purpose, so I withdrew that along with my armour and weapons and teleported to the Burthorpe Games Room. I ran to the Warrior's Guild where I started up the Animator Machine. Wow. This was crazy fast points! I had gotten 600 points via the Barrel Balance mini-game, and I can tell you, that was way slower points than this Animator Machine.
I grinded out 1,000 points and headed into the Cyclopes room. The slaughter began! I was expecting a Bronze Defender during the first five minutes... Well that didn't happen. I was in there killing Cyclopes for so long... I think after about twenty minutes of non-stop killing, I finally got a Bronze Defender. I still had enough points to try and go for an Iron Defender, so I headed back in. Surprisingly, after only the fifth kill, I got one!
I decided to stock up on points again. I headed back down to the Animator Machine and grinded out some more points. Back to the Cyclopes room I went! After maybe fifteen mnutes, I finally got a Steel Defender. I can tell you, it's taking much much longer than I thought to get these defenders...
That was all I had in me for today, so I logged off. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get up to Adamant or Rune!
Thanks for reading everyone!
Good night!

Hello, hello!
I logged on today and was determined to get at least one new defender. I entered the Cyclopes Room and started the massacre. About five minutes in, the level 156 Cyclossus entered, and started bad-mouthing me. I couldn't let it get away with that! I ran over to it, ready to attack. Unfortunately, you need a Rune or Dragon Defender to fight the Cyclossus... He got lucky.
I killed tons of Cyclopes, hoping for a Black Defender. It kept playing with me, giving me items like Black Knives and Mithril Daggers. Finally though, I got a Black Defender. I'm halfway to Dragon! I still had quite a few tokens, so I started attacking them again in hopes of a Mithril Defender. Believe it or not, I actually got a Hard Clue Scroll as a drop! In the end, my tokens ran out before I had a chance to get a Mithril Defender.
I teleported to the Grand Exchange and started my daily flipping. I was determined to break into the 10M's today! I set up my items and got straight to work on my Clue Scroll. As usual, I got a fairly long Treasure Trail. At one point, I was in the Herblore Habitat and had just killed the Saradomin Wizard when my screen went black. What the... I moved my mouse around. Nothing.
I looked down at my computer power button. The light was off... I'd had a power outage! Well you can't even imagine how thankful I am that I had already killed the Saradomin Wizard. If I died from a power outage... That would have sucked. I was wearing my Bandos Chestplate along with all my money! Although I guess I would have kept my most valuable items...
About ten minutes later, my power randomly came back on (Odd, it was a perfectly nice day), so I booted up Grimwold2. There he was, smiling back at me in the Herblore Habitat. I continued on with my Treasure Trail.

Just my luck, I got a Puzzle Box! Man, I hate those things. Thay take quite a while to solve... But I'm glad that I actually know how to solve them! In the end, I finished the Treasure Trail. My loot: 2 Rune Platebodies, 24 Lobsters, a Rune Full Helm and 40 Zamorak Arrows; a total value of around 125k.
I quickly tended to my items. I was getting pretty close to that 10M marker! It was time for some Conquest. I've got a feeling that I'm going to stock up on a ton of Commendation Points then blow them all on Ranged. 80 Ranged would be awesome! Although for that, I would need a ridiculous amount of points... Probably 10,000+.
I teleported to Falador and ran to Port Sarim, where I took the boat over to Void Island. I switched to the most populated Pest Control world and entered the Waiting Area. TheSpiffiest was in there! I challenged him, and the match begun.
My team was fairly string, but once again, TheSpiffiest beat me. I didn't do so bad in my defence. He didn't completely obliterate me! I lost and began a new game with a new opponent. It was probably the quickest match ever. I completely annihilated him. So badly that he actually resigned right when I was about to win. I ha donly lost a single Scout and had managed to destroy his entire team!
I was in the Waiting Room as usual, sniffing about people's ranks. I happened to come across a player named Sibrange, who had a rank of 13,710. Now that's crazy. I looked him up on the Hiscores, and sure enough, he is ranked #3 worldwide for Conquest. So I challenged him to a game
I simply wanted to see what a pro's team was like, and how he would react. Surprisngly, he had about eight Scouts and two Champions, along with two Halberdiers. Even so, he completely disowned me. No wonder he was ranked #3. He was crazy good!
I played a few more games before |I had to tend to my items again in the Grand Exchange.

I finally hit the 10,000,000gp mark! Now I've got to start flipping hardcore to make even more money! It's been a while since I've seen my money written in green... In fact the last time I saw it green, I was buying my Bandos Chestplate!
Now I've been interested in dicing for a long time. Stories of people making 100M in one day seem to lure me in. Dytoris had been dicing, so I asked him for some information regarding what worlds, etc. He said to go to World 2, Grand Exchange. I logged out to the Lobby and tried to enter World 2. To my luck, it was full! I've wanted to see what this new cue line update is about, so I was actually a little excited to enter this world. I
It was actually pretty fun watching the little counter count my poition. I had started at position 109, but after only a few minutes, I was soon number one. I entered to world. I withdrew 10k and ran around, trying to find the dicers. I couldn't find any, but Dytoris said that they were at the South Entrance. I ran there, and sure enough, there they were.
I felt dirty being there. I felt like I was grimy or filthy or in a dark part of town. I felt bad and cheated. I just had a really bad vibe from all the people there wanting money. It was a very peculiar feeling. I entered one Friend's Chat and asked if someone would host a Dice Game for me. That earned me a ban for some reason.
I entered another one, but I soon found out that you had to give the person your money before they rolled! There were so many people there, so I asked Mining Golds what Friend's Chats were legitimate Dicers. They suggested Win All Day.
I entered the chat and started hunting around for ranked members that I could see. I came across 'xMarlen'. As soon as I put up my 10k, he declined the offer. Apparently, the minimum you could bet was 100k. Well there was no way that I would be risking 100k. No way at all. I quickly hopped over to world 84, simply to shirk off that bad vibe.

I merched a tiny bit more, but not too much. I was too busy trying to fix my Playstation 3. For some reason, it was not reading discs... I tried all sorts of stuff, from blowing on the disc itself, restarting the system to even Restoring the File Settings. Nothing seems to be working... If anyone has any ideas that would not involve me losing game data or buying an XBox (as I'm sure someone would say that), please let me know in post or PM.
The last resort is to send it off to Sony in hope that they can repair it
Well that's all for today! I hope you enjoyed the read!
Good night!

Hey guys!
I started off today with the usual flipping. I actually found some new items to flip! Hopefully, I'll be able to make a fortune! A very long time ago, I once flipped 5m into 14m, all with one item. Now that took a long time. I'm pretty proud of how fast my money is growing. In fact each time I flip my items, I'm making about 100k! The whole time I was flipping, I was chatting with Walwb. He wanted to go to the Warrior's Guild. I guess it couldn't hurt to go and try for a Mithril Defender again. Who knew, maybe I'd get another Clue Scroll!
I geared up and teleported to the Burthorpe Games Room, where I ran up two sets of stairs and out of the castle. I ran south to the Warrior's Guild and started up the Animator. I killed tons and tons of Animated Mithril Armour. By the end of it, I had accumulated 1,500 tokens! My items had updated, so I quickly made my way to the Grand Exchange and tended to them. Flipping can get pretty annoying sometimes... They always update right when you're in the middle of something.
I headed back to the Warrior's Guild and met up with Walwb in the Cyclopes room. The massacre began once again. In about the first minute, Walwb had already gotten a Dragon Defender! I killed more... He got another Defender! I killed more... He got another one! What was this? He got more! What the... We killed tons more, and he kept racking in the Dragon Defenders. Of course, I was getting nothing.
In fact, fourty minutes, I repeat, fourty minutes went by and I didn't get a Mithril Defender. You know how many Cyclopes I killed? Hundreds and hundreds! I killed so many that it lost meaning! This was ridiculous! Walwb continuously asked me to do Multi-Token, insisting that it gave you a better drop rate. But no, I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. (Get what I did there? )
So after I wasted 1,300 tokens (yeah, I was there for a LONG time) I decided to leave and do some more flipping before the rage started.

I flipped some more items and decided that it was time for some more Conquest. I teleported to Falador and ran south to the Squire who boated me over to Void Island. I hopped over to world 144 and headed over to the Waiting Room. I got a message warning me that I was nearing the Commendation point limit. It was only 500! Here was me, expecting to get thousands of points... Oh well. I started one game and won (it was pretty close!) and claimed my 40 points. I headed back to the Head Knight to exchange my points for Ranged experience.
I used my hundreds of points to go from level 66 Ranged all the way to level 68! That brought my Total Level up to 1800! I played one more game of Conquest. I was just about to start another when Walwb PMed me. He had just left his other clan, and wanted to join Mining Golds! I let him know that I was on Void Island. He made his way there while I waited.
Finally, he arrived. I invited him and Mining Golds welcomed him with wide arms! We celebrated with spamming the dance emote, among other emotes. He wanted to play a Conquest match against me, so he followed me into the Waiting area. The match begun!
On my third turn, Walwb offered a Truce. Turns out that he didn't actually want to play Conquest
I played a few more, chatting with TheSpiffiest all the while. He was doing pretty good with staking!
My items had updated again, so I headed back to the Grand Exchange. I merched there for a while and decided to go and finally get that pesky level 61 Agility. It would be so nice to finally be able to go up that ladder in the Slayer Tower!
I headed over to the lever and pulled it down. Right when I teleported into the Wilderness, I saw a Mage teleporting out. Would he quickly come back to kill me? I waited at the lever, ready to yank it again. He didn't come, so I ran to the north, cutting open the spider web and heading west to the Agility Course.

I entered it and noticed a level 107 and a level 117. I offered a friendly 'Hello'. Only the level 107 said 'Hi' back. I statred the course, hoping that the level 117 wasn't going to attack. He was wearing a Spottier Cape, so I felt fairly okay.
Drama was unfolding in Mining Golds. For some reason, some players (including a Captain) were getting quite upset at the player IM12IN LUKE, a player that I had invited. So upset in fact, they actually kicked the player! I searched back into the chat, wondering what could have started this whole thing. It ws actually nothing. He had simply said that he didn't like Mining Golds because we didn't do enough events.
IM12IN LUKE PMed me then, calling me a name. I didn't even say anything! I began talking to him. He wanted a second chance, and I was willing to give it to him... If he didn't spam. I ran back to the lever and ended up in Ardougne. I teleported via my Amulet of Glory and met him in Edgeville.
I re-invited him and told the clan that he was given a second chance. On a lighter note, I've been given kicking abilities!
I headed back to the Agility Course. I was getting pretty close to level 61! In fact, before long, I had that glorious level!
I ran back to the lever and ended up in Ardougne. I teleported to Varrock and ran to the Grand Exchange. On my wya there, I noticed a green dot in my mini-map. I moused over the player name. It was J ame s! He had PMed me while I was playing Conquest, and was reading my blog while he was Fletching. Well, true to his word, he was Fletching! I greeted him, and he asked me where my trusty Octopus was. Can't be seen without my Octopus! I banked real quick and got out my casual attire: Octopus, Spottier Cape and Dramen Staff. I chatted with J ame s for a bit and headed off to the Grand Exchange. Nice Fire Cape he's got there... I think I might try to get one at some point.
