More problems erupted. A player, who was not in our clan, started using Teleother Falador repeatedly. Unfortunately, this causes players to stop following others. This caused half of the train to fall apart, but again, somehow, we managed to reconstruct the parade. We started heading south now, back to Falador, our end destination the Mining Golds Citadel.
This line was a sight to behold. I had never seen anything like this! The line stretched on for ages it seemed... At my lowest camera angle, I couldn't see the end or the beginning.
When we finally reached the Clan Camp, we all started piling into the Mining Golds Citadel. We ran to the keep, where all the benches were located. After a few minutes, everyone was organized and ready. Zetris stood on the podium, while everyone sat on the west half. On Zetris's count, we all yelled "Mining Golds!" as loud as we could! The first attempt was quite bad, but the second attempt was much, much better. I even took a screenshot!
That was a moment to remember! Probably my favourite moment from Mining Golds. It was time for a Farming run then, though, so I headed out.
After that, I headed out to Daemonheimto complete the last three floors I needed before I would start doing larges. These were floors 28 to 30. Those medium floors took much longer than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, most of them contained doors which were much too high level, so I didn't get as much experience out of them as possible.
Finally after those, I had time for a large floor. lilmk and TheHolyHades were just finishing up a dungeon, so I waited for them. We were going to be completing floor 32.
They finished their dungeon, and we joined lilmk's party. I drafted Joshyway, while lilmk found a random player to join us. This random player, l Caveman l, was nearly completely maxed out; with the exception of 91 Dungeoneering. Everything else was at 99!

The dungeon started! I was told that if we came across a Shadow Silk Hood, l Caveman l would be getting it... So I was hoping that today wasn't going to be the day that I actually saw one as a drop. Soon, I had enough money for some rune essence. I made my Astral and Cosmic Runes, and while there were no Guardian Doors to clear, I would be mining the surrounding Promethium and Gorgonite Rocks, dropping them off at the Homebase for l Caveman l to use. He actually made Joshyway a Promethium Rapier, and himself full Promethium!
I had died twice before the boss room. Once was from stepping into a room guarded by very high level monsters, and the other by stepping on an Agility trap. The boss was a Skeletal Hoard.
We stepped in, and were immediately barraged with flying skulls and magic. Everything in there was level 130+! I had Protect from Missiles on, but unfortunately, I had a Mage on me too. I alternated between standing on the Skinweaver's mat and fighting, trying to stay alive as long as possible. Eventually though, a melee skeleton started attacking me, and I was dead.
I teleported back, and had just stepped in when I was comboed for all my health... Up to four deaths now. I didn't die from then on. I used crush attacks, and started destroying the skeletons. It wasn't so bad anymore; most of the tunnels had been closed off.
Finally, the boss(s) had been killed, and Joshyway recieved the reward: A Promethium Full Helm! There was just one room left to open, which lilmk had made a potion for. It required level 105 Strength, so only l Caveman l could do it. I brought the Group Gatestone back to the boss room while they did that, and onyl a few seconds later, we finished the dungeon.
I recieved 28,000xp! Only 12,000xp until level 75 Dungeoneering! I didn't have too much time left, but I had enough to get my daily 30,000 Fletching experience and to go on one last Farming run.

I switched to world 117, where I recieved my 30,000 Fletching experience, and headed out onto my herb run.
I got 13 Grimy Snapdragons from my patch in Morytania! From my next patch, Falador, I recieved eight herbs! It was looking pretty good! My Ardougne patch had died though, and I recieved fairly low quantities from the rest of the patches. Still though, it was a good yield!
And that was all for today! I've been considering writing a Guide in the Guide Forum on how to write well. I'd like to know your guys thoughts on this! Good idea? Bad idea? Any feedback would be welcome
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

I didn't have too much time to play Runescape today; I spent a lot of my time writing a guide for the Runescape Community! You can find it here:
Quick Find Code: 98-99-620-63229333
While I was writing this guide, I was busy cutting Choking Ivy behind the Varrock Castle. I cut that Ivy for quite a long time... I actually achieved level 81 Woodcutting! I managed to get two birds nests too!
So finally, after finishing my guide, I was invited by lilmk to do a large sized Floor 37! I teleported to Daemonheim and joined lilmk's party. Again, I wasn't going to be keying. This time, Jaggger was the keyer. We found more players, and we started the dungeon. Right away, I took the rune essence. Finally, I would be able to cure myself of poison and create Gatestones!
We slowly started opening the rooms. It's funny, when I was in my very first large floor, I was astonished by its sheer mass. But now, it seems almost normal.
Opening the tenth room, we had a Guardian Door. Everyone filed in, and started attacking the mages. I noticed a Night Spider in there. Maybe today would be my lucky day? I checked to see if anyone else was unhooded. Nope-- Just me.
I started attacking the Night Spider, praying for that Shadow Silk Hood. I killed it, and checked the loot. My jaw literally dropped to the ground as I saw the orange text of "Shadow Silk Hood" written there. I claimed it immediately, still in disbelief. Finally, I had my very own Shadow Silk Hood! I was so happy... Words don't even describe it. Even now, as I'm typing this, I'm still smiling.
I didn't bind it just yet; For that, I would have to destroy my Gorgonite Platebody, and I still wanted that for the rest of the dungeon.
The rest of the floor passed at the usual pace. I had my own doors gated, and I unlocked them as need be.

The Shadow Silk Hood's power was incredible. I could just walk into a room without anything attacking me! It was simply fantastic. Again, words don't even begin to describe how I felt.
Eventually, we finally came across the boss. A level 376 Runebound Behemoth. Again? What was with all of these things? I had no prayer points left, so I knew I was going to die at least once. We all entered, and I made a beeline for the Melee Power crystal. The boss did his special attack... Unfortunately, I had forgotten all about it, and I was hit an 800 in total. I was almost dead, but I still grinded on. Inevitably though, I died.
Coming back, I resumed my initial position. This boss was strong. He would take turns attacking each of us, dealing 400+ damage every attack. I found myself eating all my food, and before I knew it, I had died again!
I came back again. The Runebound Behemoth was almost dead! But we seemed to not be hitting, and he was continuing on with his relentless 400+ assaults.
Finally, he died with me only having 300lp left. Everyone raced to finish the dungeon. I still had one last order of business though. I took off my Gorgonite Platebody, which had served me so well, and destroyed it. In its place, I bound my new Shadow Silk Hood. Yes, it was a good day.
I ended the dungeon, gaining 42,000 Dungeoneering experience! I achieved level 75 Dungeoneering, and unlocked floor 38!
It was just about time to log off, so I went out on one final Herb run. I was getting quite low on Supercompost, so I headed to the Grand Exchange to buy some more.
I was sitting at the Grand Exchange, minding my own business, when all of a sudden one of the most terrifying events of my life happened.
Picture this:
I'm sitting at my computer. To my right is a window. It is completely pitch-black outside, and my cat is sitting on the window sill looking outwards. Dead silence.

All of a sudden, my cat rears up and starts screaming. Literally screaming. It was the loudest thing I could imagine; it filled the room, filled my ears. I yelled out in surprise, and my cat started scratching feverishly at the window. Scared out of my mind, I quickly locked my front door.
My cat was still scratching at the window, so I ushered her out of the room. She immediately ran to the next nearest window and started scratching at that one. I closed all the blinds in my house, but my cat seemed so determined to get at any window she could.
I was pretty freaked out... I'm thinking that there was another cat outside my window or something.
After that terrifying ordeal, I bought my Supercompost and finished my farming run. I banked all my Supercomposts in the Tree Gnome Stronghold Leprachaun, and logged off.
Thanks for reading!

Hi guys!
Unfortunately, I barely had any time at all to play Runescape today... For the first time this year, I actually got some homework! That, and I had a dentist appointment today.
I did manage to squeeze in an hour of play-time though! I only managed to do a farm run though, and one game of Soul Wars...
Tomorrow, I'll be able to play more though!
Good night!

Hi guys!
I had much more time to play today! I started out with the usual farming run, although my Morytania patch had died an untimely demise.
Then it was time to get a Dungeoneering floor done. I had floors 33, 34 and 38 still open, so I headed over to World 117 to find a party. After a couple minutes of searching, I found a host hosting floor 33. I traded him and recieved an invitation.
Finally, we had five players! We entered the dungeon. I spotted an Argonite Platebody on one of the tables! I made a beeline for it; with only a Shadow Silk Hood for protection, I could definitely benefit from it! Apparently, the host was intending to be the keyer. I waited a bit, but he just sat at the Homebase. When I asked him if he was going to be keying, he replied with "I'm getting ready." After a while of this, I asked if I could key the dungeon. He gave his position of keyer to me.
This was the worst dungeoneering team I had ever come across. I called multiple Guardian Doors, which none of my team came to. One of my team mates was a "Skiller", even though I had higher levels in everything than him. He made himself useful by cooking Dusk Eels. That dungeon took a long time. I soloed every Guardian Door, and because my teammates never gated any doors (despite the fact I asked them to) I had to constantly run back and forth around the dungeon.
The result of all of this was six deaths by the time I got to the boss room. The worst part of this was that the host of the floor, who was going to be keying, had almost no experience in how to complete dungeons efficiently. Who knows how long the dungeon would have taken?
By the time we arrived at the boss room, I was thoroughly annoyed. Yes, for the first time in a while, the Dungeoneering Rage was upon me, and with a vengeance. But the straw that broke the camel's back was what the other players said before we entered the boss room...

They were all bragging how they hadn't even died once! I could barely believe this. These players actually thought that they were doing great. So I told them what was on my mind. I told them that they were ignoring my Guardian Door calls, I told them they never fought anything, and I told them that they never gated a door once. Their reponse? "No." I was furious at this point. These players didn't deserve to finish this floor; I practically carried them through the whole thing!
I didn't want to quit the dungeon though; at the point, I simply wanted to get Floor 33 checked off. The boss was Bal'Lak the Pummeller. Of course, they didn't know how to fight him, so I explained (calmly) how to defeat the huge demon. Just like I expected though, they did almost nothing during the boss fight. They would wait until I teleported out, then they would enter. Them seeing that the demon's defence was too high, they would exit again, claiming it was a "bad time to enter".
I died twice on the level 345 demon. Pretty good for practically soloing it. I ended the floor right away after the boss fight. There were still doors to open, but I didn't care; I wanted out.
I gained a measely 12,000xp. I left the party as fast as I could.
I did have a bit of homework though... So I decided to do it while I mined. I headed down to the Living Rock Caverns and started mining with the fellow miners of World 88. I was down there for quite some time, although considering Mining is one of the slower skills, I didn't exactly "rack up" the experience. But still, it was quite calming while the Dungeoneering Rage subsided.
After Mining for quite some time, it was time to log off. But wait! I still had to do a farming run! I stopped off at the Grand Exchange to buy a new Spade; on my first run today, I gave mine to a fellow farmer who asked for one at the Trollheim patch.
OverMauled invited me over to F2P! He had something to show me...

I switched to his world and met him at the west Varrock bank. He had a Tier 4 Duellist's Cap! He had boosted for it; it looked quite formidable!
After chatting for a while and recieving a compliment on my Octopus from a passing player, I switched back to a Member's World and headed back on my Farming run.
My farming luck was fading! My Ardougne patch had died
I finished up my herb run real quick, then waited in Lumbridge to lend my Bandos Tassets to a friend of J ame s, Big Wheat. He came, and I lent it to him for six hours. I was logging off soon anyways, so I wouldn't need it!
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!
