--August 23, 2011--
I started off with a real quick Farming run, and then continued on to start by task of TzHaars. I knew TzHaars were quite bot infested, but I went there anyways, just to see if I could get any kills. The bot situation down there wasn't quite as bad as I had expected, although there were still too many to get a kill. So instead, I switched onto a French Server.
There was another player there with me, who was collecting Obsidian Charms, and wanted to get away from the bots. We chatted while we killed and soon enough, I got level 83 Defence! I killed more, and another player came along. After 50 kills or so, I got a Starved Ancient Effigy! It required 91 Farming to open, and lucky for me, that original player who was there with me happened to have just that!
I had only killed a couple more when MantisManiac PMed me asking for a duel. Obviously, I love duels, so I teleported over and started withdrawing my duelling gear. The fights went quite nicely... I beat him almost every time (except once). Lucky for me, he didn't want to quit as soon as he lost, so I got to have lots of fun! After tons of matches, MantisManiac was done. I however, wanted one last match... a boxing match! MantisManiac was a few levels lower than me anyways, so I beat him quite easily. MantisManiac left, and I decided to get my effigy to the Gorged stage.
I needed 93 Cooking now... Luckily, Last Lord in my Friends Chat had level 97! I met him in the Rogues Den, where I got my assist. With my assist, he reached level 98! Now I needed level 95 Runecrafting... I teleported to Daemonheim and switched to world 117.
I don't know why I never used to use Daemonheim for assists... It's almost impossible not to get your effigy opened there. Right away, I saw a player offering Runecrafting assists, so I rushed over and my effigy reached the Gorged stage. Now I have five Gorged Effigies!

While I was at Daemonheim, I decided to complete my final floors so that I could finally reset. I popped into the dungeons and completed floors 30-31. Finally, I reset my progress.
I was getting a little close to level 70 Dungeoneering! But before I made progress on that, I went on a quick Farming run. At the Catherby patch, I achieved level 67 Farming!
I travelled back to Daemonheim. Today, I would get level 70 Dungeoneering. I started at floor 1 and plowed through them, completing most of them in under ten minutes. On floor 14, I had to defeat the boss Stomp. This boss is totally unfair to fight while soloing. I would retrieve the lodestones as fast as physically possible, and still, he would regenerate health. Finally, I started to manage to get some hits on him, and after a long fight, I managed to kill him.
On the sixteenth floor, I was pretty excited. This was the floor I would get level 70 Dungeoneering on! This boss was a Bulwark Beast. I entered with my Katagon Pickaxe, and as soon as I took off his huge armour, he completely destroyed me. I came back, this time with my Promethium 2H Sword! Again, I got his health down to about half and he killed me again. On my third try, I put on Piety. What a difference! I started destroying the boss, and in no time at all, I had killed him and achieved level 70 Dungeoneering! That felt great. It looked really nice seeing a big 70 next to the Dungeoneering skill icon.
Now going through sixteen floors had taken quite some time, so I headed off on another Farm run. Coming back from that, I started killing TzHaars again. Swami 8333 in my Friends Chat was getting insanely lucky... He had gotten a ton of Torstol Seed drops, and then he recieved a Third-Age Ranger Body! Talk about lucky... Pretty soon after that, Last Lord achieved level 99 Cooking! Congratulations!
I was on the French Server again for the TzHaarsm and just my luck, I got the Sandwich Lady random event.

ForeverMandy helped me through it, and I managed to get through it without incident. Finally, I finished my task!
It was then that I decided to do something I've wanted to do for a while. I headed to the Grand Exchange and bought a ton of free-to-play items, such as 400 noted Big Bones, 4500 Mithril Arrows, Rune Platebodies, etc. I then logged into free-to-play worlds and travelled to high bot density locations, such as the Mining Guild and the Willow Trees near Draynor.
What I did was similar to the "Goody Bag", where a player would pick a number and I would give them the corresponding item. Of course, for me, I wasn't charging anything for their gifts.
It was ridiculous how many bots there were in these places. For the most part, I stayed near the Willow Trees in Draynor and asked around for people who were not bots. I usually got about 1-2 people. I would then trade them their item and thank them for not botting. It felt really great... Giving back to the communty and all. The player who got the 400 Big Bones nearly fainted!
After a while, all my items had been given away. It felt really great; In fact, I think I might continue to do that once a week.
Thanks for reading!
See you later!

-August 24, 2011-
I logged on and completed a quick Farming run as usual, then went to Kuradal for my new task. I got... 200 Waterfiends...
Usually I skip those, but I'd been skipping so many Fire Giant tasks lately that I decided I should try the task. Besides, the Crimson Charms would be nice. Soul da Tank had the same task, so I got some advice on what to wear from him. Becuase Waterfiends are weak to Crush, I had to use my Saradomin Sword, which only had a Crush option on Strength mode. I equipped my Black Dragonhide and set off for the Ancient Caverns with Soul da Tank.
All went well for a while. Until, that is, I ventured too far east and a Brutal Green Dragon started looking at me. I started running west, yet somehow it still hit me with its Dragonfire and hit a 260. Oh well, I was so far away now I couldn't even see the dragon anymore. But then, I was hit a 470, and I died. Just like that. How did it even hit me? I couldn't even see the thing on my minimap!
Soul da Tank blessed my grave, so I had no problems getting back to it. I made sure to not go anywhere near those dragons again. I made it a goal to kill at least 40 Waterfiends per trip; That would come out to about five trips. After my second trip, I recieved a Hard Clue Scroll!
I left right away and completed it. No good loot at all... I was in the middle of selling my loot on the Grand Exchange when TheSpiffiest asked me to buy him 10 Pyrelord Pouches so that he could buy them off of me. He was attempting to get 80 Firemaking! I bought them and used the Spirit Trees to meet with him outside of Mobilising Armies. I sold them to him and got my Waterfiend gear ready again. Back down to the Waterfiends...
I was there for a long time. Soul da Tank had left long ago, and now it was just me and Crimson Charm hunters. I must admit though, the amount of charms I obtained was phenomenal! In fact, I hit the 1,000 mark of Crimson Charms in my bank! After a long time, I could finally see the end!

Only 13 to go! But just then, I recieved another Hard Clue Scroll! I didn't leave right away this time though, oh no. I wanted to be rid of this task. Finally, I finished the task. I embarked on my Treasure Trail right away!
This one ended at the park benches east of Ardougne. I opened the casket... and found two Saradomin items, a Saradomin Plateskirt and a Saradomin Kiteshield! The plateskirt was only about 50k, but the kiteshield was worth 900k! The luck is back!
Just then, TheSpiffiest PMed me again. He needed me to help him with a Duel Arena Coordinate clue. I teleported over and helped him out. His loot was... a ton of rune items, yet again. I wanted to do a couple of boxing matches now, so we tried a few out. We did three matches, and I actually won one of them! Pretty amazing considering he's seven combat levels higher.
I wanted to get my new task now though, so I headed off and sought out Kuradal. 200 Kalphites... That wouldn't be too fun. I headed out right away, and by the time I reached the Kalphite Lair, I realized that I had forgotten my Slayer Gem. Oh well...
After killing tons of them, Lion 0fJudah asked me to come to the TzHaar City with him. I teleported to Karamja and ran there. There, he showed me the proper items to defeat the Fight Caves. I really do want a Fire Cape... I'm just not sure if I have it in me. Perhaps I'll try tomorrow...
Thanks for reading!
See you later!

--August 25, 2011--
I logged on in the TzHaar City. It was time for a Fire Cape. I entered with a ton of Prayer Potions and Rocktails. Inside the Fight Caves, the battle for survival was on! First came a level 22, then two level 22s, then a level 45, then a 45 and a 22, and so on.
Eventually, monsters levels 90, 180 and 360 started appearing, and Protect from Magic was a must. It was really starting to get difficult. I would have to trap the level 180 behind the level 360, then kill the level 90, then kill the 360. I never really used any rocktails... For healing, all I did was rest for ages to replenish my health. On wave 47, I realized I hadn't brought enough Prayer Potions. I had already come this far though, so I decided to stick with it.
After ages, and I mean a long, long time, I got to Wave 62, the wave before TzTok-Jad. I knew I was doomed. I only had one dose of Prayer Potion left for the entire Boss Fight... I killed the two level 360s and turned on Protect from Ranged. TzTok-Jad appeared! He used a Ranged attack. Thank goodness I had my prayers on! Yet somehow, he still managed to hit a 530... I started eating like crazy, realizing right away that I had forgotten to turn on Auto-Retaliate. Maybe if I was lucky, he would use another Ranged attack! I wasn't lucky. I saw the magic ball floating towards me, and I knew I was doomed. I was hit a 680 and I was dead.
All that time for nothing... All because I forgot to turn on Auto-Retaliate... That's a real bummer.
Outside, Benjarmin was waiting for me, as was another player who actually had a Fire Cape. His name was Dro. He gave Benjarmin and I some good tips and pointers. Apparently, I shouldhave been using a Verac's Full Helm, along with a Dragon Square Shield. Next time, I'll fair better. Next time, I'll turn on Auto-Retaliate and I'll bring more Prayer Potions. Speaking of which, I was almost out of them.

I teleport* to the Grand Exchange and bought some items. While I was there, I noticed a player named "Fma Oh Wtf" asking players for help with Hunter. I approached her told her I would help her out.
Her Hunter level was one, so I decided I would show her how to hunt Crimson Swifts. She had a Bird Snare, but she didn't have access to the Spirit Trees, nor did she have a high enough Magic level to teleport to Mobilising Armies... She brought out a Ring of Duelling instead. I had totally forgotten that you could teleport to Mobilising Armies with one of those! We both teleported over there, and I started to try and find the Crimson Swifts.
We ran about the Feldip Hills for quite some time, but all I could see were Tropical Wagtails... Where were the Crimson Swifts? The level 17 Fma Oh Wtf opened Youtube and found where they were. So the new player guided me over to the Crimson Swifts
I showed her how to lay the trap, and when to reset it. I made sure she had gotten what she wanted, and was about to leave when she asked if we could be friends. Sure, why not? I added her and teleported to Mobilising Armies. I had decided I would give her 100k to help her get off her feet a bit. I ran back to her and gave her my 100k. I told her she could ask me anything at all, and I would be glad to help. I feels so nice to help a new player out. I know that when I was new, no one helped me
That was really all for today! Oh, and tanks for the people who have joined my Friends Chat! It's been great chatting with everyone!
See you later!

--August 26, 2011--
I logged on, and players in my Friends Chat decided right away to have some friendly fights in the Fight Pits! I decided I would go on Ancient Magicks, so I took a Carpet Ride down to the Bedabin Camp and then ran to the Pyramid, where I prayed at the Altar. I teleported with my Amulet of Glory back to Edgeville, where I started getting the appropriate items. After a while, I teleported to Karamja and ran to the Fight Pits. There were already people there on my world, so we switched to a few worlds. All of them had people there. Instead, we decided to go to Clan Wars.
Unfortunately, there were people there too... People with maxed stats. It wasn't fun at all. You couldn't step in without getting Ice Barraged and then Dragon Clawed. We switched worlds again, and the same thing happened. I was getting quite frustrated now. Why wouldn't these high-level players leave us alone? A bunch of the players with me had to leave, so it was just me and Soul da Tank. Wed ecided to go to Pest Control. I ran there, but Soul da Tank was disconnected repeatedly. So instead, I decided to simply complete my Kalphite task. I ran to the lair and started killing.
Another player was there, so I started using him to my advantage. I would attack the kalphites until they were almost dead, and then move onto another one. That way, the other player would finish them off, resulting in us getting kills faster. In about ten minutes, I had completed my task!
I headed back to Kuradal and got a new task: 220 Bloodvelds. Now I wanted to get level 80 Ranged badly... Real badly. So I decided to range them. I entered the Slayer Tower and started killing them. A nice player there showed me how to safespot them. This made it much easier to kill them... But I still hated ranged. After a while, I achieved level 71 Ranged!

I figured it was time for a farm run, so I ran out of the Slayer Tower and used a teleport tab to my house, in order to reach Lunar Isle to revert back to the normal spellbook. Then, I went on my Farming run. I first went to my Morytania patch. That one gave me 10 herbs! Next was the Falador patch... which gave me 8 herbs! Next up was the Catherby patch. This one gave me 10 herbs as well! I teleported to Ardougne and was running north when a player in a Strength Skillcape caught up to me and asked for my help. He was doing a Treasure Trail and needed me to show him to the Legends Guild. I guided him over to the east, and dropped him off at the entrance to the Legends Guild.
The Ardougne Patch gave me 10 herbs as well... Pretty weird. I then teleported to Trollheim. That patch gave me 10 herbs also! That was 48 herbs in one run. Pretty good! I teleported to Varrock and sold my herbs. Soul da Tank told me that he had gotten 99 Ranged by using Iron Throwng Knives on Yaks on Neitznot. I bought 5000 Iron Knives and headed off to the yaks, on a French Server.
After a long time there, PvM Paladin told me about a party clanmates were having in our Citadel! I switched back to an English server and went into our Citadel. On the second floor, there was the dance floor. I stepped on, and everyone started following me! I followed the last person in the chain, creating a never-ending cycle. It looked pretty cool with everyone dancing at the same time. We did that for a long time. The next event was the battlefield!
I didn't know that I was supposed to bring armour... so my Octopus and I got destroyed. I left to get more supplies. When I came back with my full Bandos and Veracs, almost everyone had left... Except for PvM Paladin. I battled with him for quite some time, until we both decided we were done.
I headed back to the Yaks. I don't understand how Soul da Tank managed to do it for days on end...

I was in agony. Mental agony. I decided to time myself to see how much experience I could get in an hour. By the time a mere 30 minutes had passed, I was nearly dead from boredom. There was no way I could do that until 99. No way at all. Like PvM Paladin had said, it's just not like me to power-train combat. I figured I would gain about 50k experience per hour doing this. I just can't handle that. Thankfully (mercifully), PvM Paladin challenged me to a game of Conquest! I met up with him and we started the battle.
I'm not very good at handling large amounts of players, so in the beginning of almost all my Conquest matches, I do poorly. However, when it gets to about two or three players, I start whipping out the good moves. In the final moves, it was my Halberdier versus his Champion. In the end, I managed to use Charge and Battle Cry to defeat his Champion and claim the victory! PvM Paladin had to log off then, so I decided to try Pest Control for the second time of my life. I couldn't even remember what the objective was. I boarded the Veteran's boat and the match started right away.
I decided to just kill monsters. After a while though, I realized that I should be attacking the portals! I ran around with the crowd attacking the portals, and in under three minutes, we had won. I did the same thing with the next match, but on the third match, I stayed with the Void Knight and protected him from the monsters. I did quite a few matches, but was getting a little disappointed on how slow the Commendation Points were. I had about 100 in total now, so I spent them on Ranged training. Only 11k until 72 Ranged!
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
See you later!
