--July 16, 2011--
I started out today with freeing King Awowogei from Recipe for Disaster. For that, I needed a Gorilla Greegree, a Ninja Greegree, a Zombie Greegree and a Monkey Greegree. I had gathered all the bones, and had all the talismans, but when I went to Zooknock to get then transformed into greegrees, there was no speech option there! I started asking my clan what to do. I mean, it's one long journey just to get to Zooknock, and I sure didn't want to get there again. Eventually though, I figured it out. I had to ask him for another talisman, then give him the ingredients.
After some time, I freed King Awowogei from the Culinaromancer's grasp! The next thing I had to do for Do No Evil was restore Senliten's mummy to 100% restoration. For this, I needed a glass of sq'irk juice. I teleported over to the Sorceress's Garden.
Wow. There were so many bots there! It was ridiculous. Although, they did help me get through the maze; I knew that if I went when they went, I wouldn't get caught! After a while, I had obtained two sq'irks, and I squeezed them into a cup. I gave them to Osman. He was supposed to give me some documents concerning the mummy... But he didn't. Then I realized that I had to give the juice to Ali Morrisane.
So I re-entered the garden, and re obtained the sq'irks. But I didn't have another glass to squeeze them into! So I had to teleport to the Grand Exchange, buy one, squeeze them into it, teleport back to Al Kharid, and finally give it to Ali Morrisane. Finally, I had my documents! I headed over to the mummy with my items and finally, I successfully restored the mummy to the full 100%.
Now Seriousruss owed me a duel from a while ago, and it was time for him to pay up! I was a little scared though; He's level 123. By coincidence, he happened to be in the Edgeville bank at the same time as me! I ran up to him and told him that he owed me a duel.

He ran off to finish a farm run, and I ran to the Grand Exchange to buy some sardines for my kitten. After that, I teleported over to the Duel Arena and waited for him. Finally, he came. The level 138 player, Broskers, who was there as well actually happened to be friends with Seriousruss! I started a duel with Seriousruss. All he had was an Abyssal Whip for a weapon, and he was wearing full Dragon. I killed him pretty fast. Next, Broskers wanted to duel me. I knew I was doomed... He's level 138! The duel started. Broskers had a Chaotic Maul and Full Void, and he was hitting really hard. Yet somehow, I'll never know how, I actually managed to beat him.
I'll never know how that happened. I did another match with Seriousrus*, but this time he had a Dragon Dagger as well. I killed him quickly. Another match with Broskers! This time, he had a Chaotic Maul and a Chaotic Rapier... And I still unbelievably managed to kill him. A few random players there wanted to fight me, and I killed them easily. But now I wanted a boxing match with Seriousruss.
That didn't go so well. I started out good, but then Seriousruss slowly started hitting more and more, until he finally killed me. We were both done, so I switched worlds to an actual dueling world. There, I found some more matches. Amazingly, I was beating around 90% of my opponents. Even a few players level 120+! I took out my Duellist's Cap and checked my stats: 99 kills. Only one more! And one more I got. I changed my hat to tier 3!
My confidence had been getting rather high, so I called in TheSpiffiest to destroy that confidence. And he did. I don't know how he does it, but somehow, he managed to pull off a 416 Korasi Special Attack. I battled him again. This time was closer, but he still managed to pull off a 400+ Special Attack. But I've got to remember: He's level 116, and I'm only 107.
I decided I wanted to watch the master at work. I went up to the Observation deck and waited for him to get a match.

It took a long time for his first match, and he switched worlds a few times, but finally, he secured a match. He lost pretty badly; He had forgotten half his gear in his bank
The next one, he had his gear... and he still lost. Well I know I'm a bad luck charm, but I didn't think I was that bad of luck! I let him be, and of course, he started winning.
It was not time for me to start training Thieving. Apu from Mining Golds had recently gotten 200,000,000xp in Thieving (A third congratulations Apu!!!) at the Pyramid Plunder. I decided to give it a go.
I made my way to Sophanem and started the activity. It seemed that almost every urn had a snake inside of it! It was really most annoying. I started getting the hang of it. I looted the Gold Chest in every room, and then fully looted the last two rooms, for maximum experience. I was getting pretty good experience. In fact, I got level 69 Thieving!
It was time for me to log off though.
Thanks for reading, and see you later!

Alright guys, something I've got to say... Occasionally, I forget to put an event in here, either because it was too minute or I simply forgot. In this case, I simply forgot. Lion OJudah was threatening to call me a noob if I didn't put this in, so here I go!
On July 15, 2011, I had been dueling at the Duel Arena. But I forgot to include what brought me to the Duel Arena! Lion OJudah had PMed me inviting me over to fight him and his friends, and that, of course, was something I couldn't say no to.
I hopped worlds and met up with him and his friends. I started a duel with Lion OJudah. He's level 132 keep in mind, so I got completely and utterly destroyed. I tried again, and got disowned a second time. A third time, Lion OJudah only used a Dragon Dagger, and surprisingly, he actually still killed me. So I started a few other matches with his friends.
I beat a level 115, and a level 97 before Lion OJudah came back. This time, he let me get his health to half before he started attacking, which, of course, led me to a victory. That's not a victory though... I demanded a rematch!
This was the final battle! Lion OfJudah was using everything he had, and was not going to be giving me a head start. The match started. It was really close. I managed to poison him with my Dragon Dagger, but he was hitting very hard. My Verac's Flail actually hit through his armour though, and by the end of the battle, both of us had only a sliver of health. I swung, missed, and the poison killed him!

I started today with some more Pyramid Plunder. Pyramid Plunder isn't actually as bad as I initially thought it would be. It is however, extremely annoying when every single urn has a snake inside...
I did a few plunders by myself, until I realized that Pacho116 was playing Pyramid Plunder as well, but on a different world. Well it's much more fun when you're with someone else, so I hopped worlds and waited for him by the Guardian Mummy. He came, and the plundering started!
He taught me some valuable lessons about Pyramid Plunder. Firstly, you go straight to the second to last room (Which I was already doing) and you leave that room when the timer gets to half. Then, you go to te last room, and plunder that until the timer runs out. That wasn't the biggest lesson I learned though. This entire time, I thought that if an urn had a snake in it, it would have a snake in it for the rest of the plunder, and you would never get any experience for that urn. Turns out I was wrong. You can keep attempting an urn until you plunder it!
That was an awesome discovery. In fact, that made my experience rates go really fast! It seemed that in no time at all, Pacho116 and I both had level 70 Thieving!
Now it was time for level 64 Construction. When I had gotten level 47 Construction, I had been running from the bank to my house, not using a butler. But today, I decided it was time to get a butler. I travelled to my house, made to bedrooms, and hired the Butler. After not too long, I had the appropriate level for a Demon Butler. Sadly, this meant I had to fire my Butler...
I hired the demon! Wow. He was so fast, it was incredible. He took about six seconds to bank, and he could bring me the exact amount of Oak Planks I needed! With him, I was getting Construction experience at incredible rates! lilmk PMed me, and we had a little chat. He was dueling, and, well, I needed a break...
You can guess what happened next!

I asked lilmk if he wanted to duel, and he accepted the challenge! I hopped to his world, got my gear and challenged him. He killed me! I guess I was having bad luck or something... He's level 104! I did another battle with him, and I won. Then we did a boxing match, and I won that as well. Then we did a fourth match, and I won again.
The dueling craze had started again... Why did I have to go in there? At first, I thought my skills as a dueler had ebbed away. I lost two in a row... But then I started winning again! I killed a few people, all higher level than me. Then I was challenged my Brainnuggets. Remember him? I bumped into him a long time ago, back when I was going for level 80 Firemaking. Well here he was again! I accepted the challenge and the duel started.
What were the chances of meeting him twice in a row, purely by chance? Pretty low, I'd think. I defeated him! By now, I knew I had to get back to Construction... But the Dueling Arena has an odd pull factor to it... I had to stay a little bit longer.
I defeated more players, and finally, I managed to pull myself loose from the Duel Arena. Back to building Oak Larders! It was going really fast, and by the time I logged off, I had gone form level 47 all the way to level 59!
And that was all for today! Thanks for reading!
See you!

Sorry for the late post guys... I had to work, and, you know, work comes before video games
(What? Runescape players have jobs? )
Wow. I think today was the most productive day I have ever had on Runescape. I gained so many levels!
It all started back in my POH. I was there, building Oak Larders, gaining level after level, until finally, I hit my goal! I had gotten level 64 Construction! Now that I had all the requirements for Do No Evil though... I didn't feel like doing it anymore
I still wanted a Korasi's Sword though... It would work really well for staking! But right when I was about to start that Quest Line, Ewitsrobert from Mining Golds announced that he would be using his Gilded Altar, and that anyone could join him. Now I had about 377 Dragon Bones lying around in my bank from Slayer, so I decided to use them. My level 54 Prayer was getting a little pathetic...
I teleported to Yanille, and waited at the POH Portal for Ewitsrobert to arrive. Finally, I saw the little orange dot on the mini-map. "Heya Rob!" I cried, but when I moused over to the player, it wasn't Ewitsrobert at all! It was just another Mining Golds recruit, who happened to be using the Gilded Altar as well
Finally, Ewitsrobert arrived, and I began using a Gilded Altar for the very first time. Dragon Bones are amazing experience when used on Gilded Altars. Each one gives you 252xp! In no time at all, I was levelling! By the time I had used all of my Dragon ones, I had gained an astounding five levels! I was now level 59 Prayer! Now that kind of stunk... Only one level from a nice big 60. I Home Teleported to Lumbridge and went down into the Cellar to access to bank chest. I took out my kitten. As I was brining out runes to Teleport to Varrock, something amazing happened. My kitten grew into a Cat! About time... Now I won't have to pull my hair out trying to get those crazy spices!

I put my Cat back into the bank, and teleported to Varrock, where I ran to the Grand Exchange and bought 99 Drgon Bones, exactly enough to get me to level 60 Prayer. They hadn't bought yet though, so I decide to start the Void Knight Quest Line: Quiet Before the Swarm.
I took a boat over to the Void Knight Outpost. As I was passing by though, I took a glance at my Commendations. I had quite a few... In fact, I had enough to get me to level 70 Ranged! I was pretty excited. I've wanted to wear Black Dragonhide for quite some time! I traded in all those Commendation points and finally achieved level 70 Ranged!
I was really on the island to start a quest though, and that's what I did. Half way through the quest, my Grand Exchange offer completed! I finished up the puzzles and completed the quest Quiet Before the Swarm! I was only one single Quest Point away from obtaining 200 Quest Points! But I really wanted to use those Dragon Bones. I teleported to the Grand Exchange and took them out. Hopefully Ewitsrobert still had his altar open... It had been quite a while.
Luckily for me, he did! I zoomed over there, and started getting that Prayer experience! In almost no time at all, I had achieved level 60 Prayer! That looked really nice on my stats tab. Much better than that ugly 54.
Now it was time for the next Void Knight Quest, A Void Dance. I started it up. This quest was very long. It maybe took me an hour and a half to two hours. At one part, you need to go to the Chemist's House. Basically anything involving the Chemist isn't good. All my experiences with that NPC have been bad ones... From obtaining Naptha to analysing samples.
In this puzzle, you had to keep the heat and power of the machine from either overheating, underheating, overpowering, or underpowering, and you also had to keep the chemical equation stable. It took a few tries to get the hang of it, but on my third attempt, I successfuly had the sample analysed completely!

I continued on with A Void Dance. Near the end of it, I had teleported to Edgeville. What I saw there was quite a surprise. Lion OJudah was hosting dice games! He had a small crowd around him, so I walked over to him and said hi. He had already asked me if I wanted to try dicing, which, knowing me, was an absolute no-no. But he said I could try anything from 1gp to 1,000,000gp. Well I guess gambling 1gp couldn't hurt. I gave it to him, and he rolled the dice. He rolled a nine, which meant he won. And there, folks, is the entire reason that I don't gamble. I always lose, whether it's in real life or video games. I lose every time.
I had to push onwards though to complete A Void Dance. I was nearing the end though, so in less than half an hour, I had completed it! I gained some pretty hefty experience rewards... One which happened to be 10,000 Herblore experience! That boosted me from level 49 Herblore up to level 50! Yeah! It's official folks! I have now achieved level 50 or higher in every skill! Not only that, but I have now obtained a total of 200 Quest Points!
200 Quest points is quite the milestone... Only 100+ to go until I have every single one! It was time to log off though, so I Home Teleported and went back down into the Lumbridge Cellar, where I deposited everything. But at that exact moment, H2K Heffa PMed me. He wanted to join Mining Golds! He had more than enough qualifications... It's just that Mining Golds has now officially maxed out our number of Clanmates. Luckily for him, there were two spots available. I told him to meet me in Lumbridge, and after he accidently logged off, he met me there.
I invited him to Mining Golds! Soon after, that last and final position was taken. No if anyone wants to join Mining Golds, all you have to do is make sure you have a Total level of 1500+, and you can simply join as a guest, until a spot becomes available.
And that was all for today! Thanks for reading, and as usual, see you later

It was time to get that Korasi's Sword! I needed six Construction levels though... And buying that many Oak Planks was going to break the bank. But I buckled down and suffered the big financial blow. I bought enough planks for level 70 Construction.
For the next few hours, I was building and destroying Oak Larders. Actually, I'm not sure how long it took. It probably jut seemed like a long time because I had to pay such close attention to build at optimum speed. What I had to do was build two Oak Larders, destroy the second, then tell my Demon Butler to fetch another inventory of Oak Planks. As soon as I told him that, I had to build another Oak Larder and destroy it, all before the Demon Butler came back.
Now that probably doesn't sound too hard, but if I misclicked at all, then it wouldn't work. If you did it correctly, you would have an almost constant flow of 480xp. Eventually, I managed to achieve level 70 Construction. By the time I got it though, I thought I was going to die! It's funny how things change. A long time ago, I would have thought that having level 70 Construction was out of the question, or having a Runecrafting level above 60 was absurd. Anyhow, it was time to start The Void Stares Back.
I was absolutely terrified of battling the level 599 Pest Queen. Absolutely terrified. I gathered advice from TheSpiffiest, and other clan members, and looked at suggested strategies on Runescape Wiki. The battle sounded truly difficult. It was time to start the quest itself.
The quest up until the Pest Queen wasn't bad at all. You had to solve a few puzzles, then complete a mini game of Conquest. When I finally reached the Pest Queen herself, I had a case of the infamous "sweaty palm" syndrome.
