Even though I had decent gear, they would still hit me semi-frequently. After about twenty kills, I decided to stop it. I got a new task: Black Demons.
I only did one trip there, where I banked quite a few Infernal Ashes. But I'm in a race with Walwb! He's trying to get to level 75 Slayer, whereas I am trying to get to level 80. It's a little in his favour, but I'll see how this goes. I was a little tired of Slayer after that one trip. I don't think I'll be banking the ashes anymore.
Now I wanted to go duelling with PvM Paladin. He used to always beat me, but now that I had a Korasi and higher levels, I was beating him every time. I challenged some other people, and most of them started raging really badly when I beat them. Really angry... Extremely angry.
One player staked me 400k. I realized my mistake once I saw in the midst of the battle that he had the exact same setup as I did. To make matters worse, he had higher combat levels. I died when his health was but a sliver.
I was a little distrought by losing my 400k. But then I thought: why? Money isn't everything in this game. It's just another item. I'll be able to make it back... I always do.
Thanks for reading, and I'll see you later!

--August 3rd, 2011--
I had been planning this for a long time! Today, No1s Perfect was going to be hosting his 400M drop party on World 91, in the Falador Party Room. I gave myself about ten minutes to get on. Never bad to be early! The world was full though... So I entered the queue line. I would have never expected what I saw. I was position 1,500th! That's right, over 3,000 people were attempting to go to the drop party. I really wanted to get in there though... I decided to wait it out. Apparently, No1s Perfect himself was stuck in the queue line as well, so I walked my dog for about 30 minutes. When I came back, I was position 130. I waited it out, and finally made it into the world. I teleported to Falador. It was already beginning to get laggy.
Nothing could have prepared me for what was in the Falador Party Room. I think every single player on that world was there. Every square had 400+ options, and I was lagging like crazy. Shortly after I entered the Party Room, Runescape crashed. Server overload no doubt. In fact, I heard that lots of people there were being disconnected. I entered the queue line again, and I was position 700. Well I was probably too late by now, so I switched to another world to do some Slayer.
As I said before, I have decided not to bank Infernal Ashes. So, I headed into the Taverly Dungeon. Amazingly, there was only one bot there, and one other person. In my clan, Noddwyd had the same task as me, so I told him to come to my world. It was awesome! We had the whole place to ourselves! Eventually, more players arrived, along with the bots. I had about 30 left when it had really become crowded. I hopped worlds a few times and finally found a quiet Quick Chat world that had no one on it. There, I finished my task.
I had finally achieved level 88 Attack! I only have two levels to go until I hit level 90!
It was time for a new task. I arrived at Duradel and he assigned me 195 Dagannoths.

Not only was that the highest amount of something I've ever had to kill, but I had never been assigned Dagannoths before... I had no idea where to kill them. I consulted with TheSpiffiest. He suggested two places: The Lighthouse and the Waterbirth Dungeon. I decided to go to Waterbirth Island. The Dagannoths there were level 90, and they hit surprisingly hard. They were forcing me to eat through my food at a tremendous rate. Not long after I had started the task, I had recieved a Medium Clue Scroll! I finished my trip and headed off on the Treasure Trail.
These medium ones are really easy; you don't have to kill anything! I finally ended it and recieved a reward of 20k. Well that sucked pretty bad.
I went to the Dagonnoths again, and after my third kill, I had another clue. Again, I waited until I had finished my trip, then completed it for a horrible reward of 14k.
After my sixth kill upon returning, I had recieved a third clue! This one required me to obtain a Blamish Red Snelm. These items didn't buy in the Grand Exchange, so I actually ran through the Mort Myre Swamp. found the snail, killed it, stole its shell, and made it into a snelm. This clue gave me an astounding reward of 3k! All I got was 3,000gp! That is by far the worst reward I have ever gotten from a Treasure Trail.
I had to log off though, but before I did, I lent my Bandos Chestplate out to a player for free for one hour.
That was it for today! Thanks for reading, and see you later!

--August 4, 2011--
I logged on, and the first thing I wanted to do was check out Mining Golds' new Citadel! I ran right over to the portal and hopped on in. Right way, I was emersed into a dark and gloomy setting. I had told Scret, the designer, not to do that! Now it looked all gloomy and miserable... I ran over to the Woodcutting Place and started chopping some logs. It really reminds me just how much I hate Woodcutting. A player wanted an invitation to Mining Golds, so I exited the Citadel and waited out by the portal. He finally came, and Mining Golds gained a new member!
Now it was time to finish off that Dagannoth task. Edmyg posted above to try the ones in the Lighthouse, so I decided to give that a go. I used a Games Necklace to go to the bank in Burthorpe, but while I was there, I realized that I hadn't done my Troll Invasion for this month. I decided to give the hard mode a go. What a mistake that was! It was much more difficult than I could have ever guessed, and I only managed to get to Wave 4 before I died. There were so many Wizard Trolls teleporting me around it was hard to even get a hit on anything. I used my 5,000xp on Farming.
That done, I resumed my mission of killing Dagannoth*. I teleported to the Barbarian Outpost, hopped over the Basalt Rocks and went down into the caves under the Lighthouse. There were quite a few players already down there, most being bots. I chatted with iBl33dMalice for a while, until he finished his task. I was almost done mine as well! I finally finished it, and offered anothe rplayer there some food. He didn't need any, so I teleported out.
I got my new task from Duradel: 56 Iron Dragons!

I really wanted to get a War Tortoise, for that extra inventory space. But for that, I wanted access to the Fairy Rings for the Piscatoris Summoning Obelisk. So, I did something I needed to do for a long time. I started Fairy Tale Part II: Cure a Queen. For this quest, I needed 57 Herblore, so I headed to the Grand Exchange to start gaining those levels (I was at 50). I started by making Prayer Potions until level 52, then I made Super Energy Potions until level 57. Now my lowest skill was Summoning, at 56!
With that done, I started and completed Fairy Tale Part 2. I got level 60 Farming now! Now lilmk and a bunch of people in my clan were telling me to simply finish off the whole series. That would make sense, considering I would have to use a Lunar Staff every time I used the Fairy Rings otherwise. So, I started and completed Fairy Tale Part 3. This whole time, some player was spamming like mad in the Mining Golds Friend's Chat. It was actually kind of fun trying to kick him and his 30+ alternate accounts as fast as possible. It spiced things up a bit.
So, I finally had access to the Fairy Rings, and I don't even have to use a Lunar Staff! I've never used a Lunar Staff with them of course, but I'd imagine it would be quite annoying.
Lion OJudah wanted to go Dungeoneering now, so I teleported to Daemonheim and waited for him. We entered the dungeon, myself keying of course. We finally reached the boss: a level 255 Lexicus Runewright. This battle was tough. He and his books were hitting me easily, and we were having some difficulty hitting him. I died about three times, once becuase I had entered the room without prayers on, and he hit me a 240, 400, and a 200 all in a row, killing me instantly.
We finished the dungeon, and I had to leave.
After I logged back on, I was still in the questy mood. Doing multiple quests tends to do that to me. I scrolled down the list of quests I was eligible to do, and found myself looking at Tears of Guthix.

I supposed getting a weekly dose of experience to my lowest level skill wouldn't be too bad! I started and completed it. I really liked how your character would recount some of your past adventures to Juna the Snake. It sort of makes me think of all the past adventures I've had. I wonder if some time in the future I'll think "Oh, what a noob I was back then... Now I've got 10B!". Ha ha... Wouldn't that be nice?
I did the Tears of Guthix D&D for the first time ever, and managed to collect 61 tears, which gave me experience in Summoning. That boosted me up to 57 Summoning! Now all my levels are 57+. I only need to gain three level in Herblore and three levels in Summoning to get everything 60+! I remember when I got my very first skill to level 60... It was Mining, and I had been trying to get into the Mining Guild for ages. Back then, I though level 60 was so good! Now, looking back, I find it amazing that I've managed to get almost every single skill to 60+. You can really see a progression!
I dawned my Iron Dragon gear and headed into the Brimhaven Dungeon. It was late now though, and I was tired. I logged off for the night.
I recently viewed a few videos of Sparc Mac staking on YouTube. I could not believe how rich he was! He really inspired me... I fact, I may try boxing off in the future. It really is all luck, but it only takes one win to make a fortune! Then again, I could end up losing everything. It's like they say though: Only bet what you're willing to lose.
That was all for today! Thanks for reading, and see you later!

--August 5, 2011--
Finally, I was going to go kill those Iron Dragons that Duradel had assigned me. I wasn't planning on banking the bones, but I brought a Spirit Terrorbird just in case.
I delved deep int the heart of the Brimhaven Dungeon (this time on a 1500+ world) and made my way to the Iron Dragons. I was killing them incredibly fast with my Brackish Blade used in conjunction with a Super Attack Potion! Before long, I had filled my familiar with drops, and had a full inventory. I still had about 30 to go, so I decided to bank them after all. I teleported out to Edgeville, where I banked my drops. Super Spiffy, TheSpiffiest's alternate account, was telling me how he had changed his Varrock teleport position to the Grand Exchange. I had known you could do that, but I didn't know who to talk to. I asked him, and immediately ran all the way to Rat Burgiss, and obtained all sorts of rewards for my completion of the Easy Varrock Tasks.
I headed back to the Iron Dragons with another familiar. I really need a War Tortoise... Sometime, perhaps on my seventh kill, I got a drop that really made me happy: I got a Starved Ancient Effigy! And a few kills after that, I got a Dragonstone!
I have some issues when it comes to deciding what skill I put Dragonkin Lamps to. Should I use them on skills I don't like, or should I use them on skills I have a high level in? For now, I decided to just bank it and maybe use a bunch of them all at once.

Sxc Azn Boy had PMed me, looking for an invitation to Mining Golds. I told him to wait until I had finished my task. After a while, I had finally finished my Iron Dragon task. I hope that someday, I'll be able to write in here that I obtained a Draconic Visage
I teleported to Edgeville and met up with Sxc Azn Boy. who had just finished reading Mining Golds' clan rules. That's when I discovered something really cool. I can promote people in Mining Golds! I had no idea I could do this, so I spent some time scouring the Clanmates page, looking for people who were eligible for promotion. I found about four, and promoted them. That felt really cool!
PvM Paladin wanted to go Dungeoneering with me! I teleported over there and we entered Floor 27 (Medium). We flew through the floor, opening doors at a lightning pace. PvM Paladin and I seem to Dungeoneer really well together. It's a pity he's so many level higher than me.
The first boss was Lexicus Runewright. I died one time before we completed the floor. Next boss was a Saggitare. He was incredibly easy, and we killed him with no problem at all. I can't say the same for the last boss though. The last boss was Har'Lak the Riftsplitter, and let me tell you, this guy was tough. We died multiple times on him. After I had died three times, we finally managed to defeat him. PvM Paladin was rewarded with a Promethium Rapier! He gave it to me to bind, because I was getting close to level 90 Attack. That's when I made a bad decision. I destroyed my Gorgonite Two-Handed Sword and instead bound the rapier. So now, I can't Dungeoneer until I get 90 Attack
We were done now, so I headed to Shilo Village to get my new task. I had only made it into Brimhaven when lilmk asked me to lend him my Saradomin Sword. I Home Teleported, and we met in the Lumbride Castle Basement. I lent him my Saradomin Sword for two hours.
I finally got to Shilo Village and got my new task: 190 Greater Demons.

I travelled to the Brimhaven Dungeon, first forgetting my hatchet. I banked in Ardougne and then forgot my money. So I killed Pirates in the Pub until I had enough.
At the entrance to the dungeon, I noticed a crowd of players chatting to each other. They were mining a Crashed Star! It was level 3, but I chatted with them for a few minutes. A player named D H U came along, weilding an Elysian Spirit Shield. I complimented him on it, and entered the Brimhaven Dungeon.
Those Wild Dogs at the Greater Demons are incredibly annoying. They constantly came after me, and I had great difficulty trying to get my kills in. I struck up convrsation with the other player who was there, TheRhyno. He was very nice, and we had a great time chatting to each other. Finally, I reached level 74 Slayer! He congratulated me, and I did a few dances. I got a Clue Scroll from them too!
Super Spiffy had wanted me to transfer some wealth from his main account to his alternate account, as well as lend him a Brackish Blade. I Home Teleported and met TheSpiffiest. He traded me 1m, then logged off and came back on as Super Spiffy. I put up the 1m and tried to lend him the Brackish Blade. It wouldn't let me... I had already lent my Saradomin Sword out to lilmk! I made the easy decision to trust Super Spiffy with my Brackish Blade. I completely trust him, 100%.
I traded him the 1m, along with the Brackish Blade. He thanked me, and I ran to the Lumbridge Cellar, where I banked and deposited my items.
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
One more thing: Could you please try not to bump this thread? If you're going to, leave a comment or feedback. I just don't want this thread hitting the maximum amount of posts for long, long time. Thank you!

I logged on, eager to do my Hard Clue Scroll. I withdrew my clue-solving gear and and started on the Treasure Trail.
I completed a few steps before turtle drink PMed me, who wanted to join Mining Golds. He was Fletching at the Soul Wars bank chest, so I teleported over and invited him to the clan. turtle drink and I chatted for quite some time while I did my Treasure Trail. Finally, my clue ended on Karamja, near the Herblore Habitat. I got some very nice loot! My reward was 14 Lobsters, 1,500 coins, Black Dragonhide Chaps, a Rune Hatchet, and the best of all: A Guthix Platebody! In total, everything reached a value of about 377k. Not too bad!
I headed to Duradel to get my next assignment: 160 Greater Demons. I ventured into the Brimhaven Dungeon, and chatted with the other players who were slaying the demons. Those Wild Dogs... Man, they're annoying. After many, many kills, I finally recieved another Hard Clue Scroll! I decided to finish my inventory of food before I embarked on the Treasure Trail. Luckily for me, I actually managed to fully complete my task in one go! I had about three Monkfish left over, so I offered them to a player who was there. He didn't want them, so I teleported out.
Clue Scroll time! This Treasure Trail forced me to do two puzzle boxes. It's not that I can't do them, it's just that they take a while... That's why I hate them. Well they don't even take that long. It's just a hassle.
My reward from this one was a bunch of random items, all adding up to a value of 67k. I guess I couldn't get two really good rewards in a row
I got a new task: 152 Fire Giants. I grabbed a carpet ride over to Pollnivneach and hopped down the Smoke Dungeon. I camped at those Fire Giants for what seemed an eternity. With about 13 left, I had run out of food, so I flicked my prayers on. I finished my task with 30 points left! From that task alone, I had gotten 86 Gold Charms!
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
Bye!
