It seemed all we were going to get was Coal and Combat Potions.
A new wave started, and I happened to put on my Protect from Ranged a bit too late. Bad idea; I was hit a 430 from a minion. We all rushed to General Graardor, in hope of an epic drop. The fell, defeated. I crossed my fingers, hoping against hope for something to be split. Miraculously, something was! I saw the green text of "Your split it" and got really excited. What could it have been? Well it wasn't a Bandos Chestplate, that's for sure. It was a Dragon Dagger. I picked up my share of the drop: A measely 2,000 coins.
We killed loads more of these monsters, with no luck. The player "No1s daddy mg" continously recieved the main drop for some reason.
A few waves later, we all ran to General Graardor as usual. We killed him in under ten seconds as usual. But the drop... was also the usual. Ourg Bones, some coal and that was it. We headed off to quickly dispatch of the minions. When we killed the Mage one though, we recieved a drop a totally was not expecting; a Bandos Chestplate! Getting a Bandos Chestplate from a minion is very rare, and we were all very excited about it! I picked up my share; 1,800,000gp.
We stayed for a very long time at the Bandos Boss, hoping for another awesome drop. I was there for quite some time, but when I had to leave for a bit, I decided to do one more wave...
We killed the boss and I got... Nothing, just like the other waves. I shared out my remaining supplies and teleported out. I logged out for a bit to enjoy the sunny outdoors.
Logging back in after thirty minutes or so, I was in Falador Square. By chance, TANKlN, D Bom Digity and No1s daddy mg happened to be there too! I asked No1s daddy mg if they had gotten anything good after I left. Apparently, they had gotten a second Bandos Chestplate drop immediately after I left. That was unfortunate. D Bom Digity left, as did No1s daddy mg, leaving me alone with TANKlN.

A level 90 player teleported in beside us, and asked us if we wanted to dice. He didn't look to honest though... He had a Blue H'ween Mask on, and that was it. When I TANKlN complimented him on his borrowed mask, he grew quite defencive about it, claiming it was his. I decided I wanted to see if this guy was telling the truth. I asked him to put it up in the trade screen. He took his mask off and prompty teleported away. I guess my prediction of him not being honest was a good one!
I ran to the Falador bank and decided I would collect my recources from my Kingdom. It had been a while, and now that I had added 1.8m to my cashpile, why shouldn't I add to that more? I teleported to Edgeville, where I sed the Fairy Rings to teleport to Miscellania. I rose my approval rating back to 100%, then headed upstairs to collect my resources.
Unfortunately, I hadn't gained as many as I thought I would... I had about 25,000 Maple Logs and about 240 Birds Nests, along with 7000 Coal. I collected my resources and headed off to Edgeville to process them. As I picked through the Birds Nests, I recieved tons of seeds! I had one Magic Tree seed, along with one Spirit Seed , and a bunch of Yew Seeds, Papaya Seeds, Maple Seeds and others.
I decided to clean out my bank a bit while I was there. I withdrew a ton of seeds and useless herbs that I had no use for and sold them on the Grand Exchange. In total, I had gained about 4,000,000gp! That's pretty good considering that was only from 2,000,000gp in my kingdom. I also realized that I have about 20,000 Gold Ores in my bank now
After I was done selling my items, a player in Mining Golds CC asked for a Clan Invite. He had a sufficient Total Level, so I told him to meet me at the fountain. I waited a bit, then met RSN Caribou. I invited him and explained some of the basic requirements. He had actually just come back from a one year break, so he wanted a tour of the new clan features.

I know I could have told him to teleport to Falador, but I really wanted to use that Teleother Falador Spell... I got the runes for it and teleported him to Falador! It was pretty cool; I'd never done that before! I teleported myself over there and guided him over to the Clan Camp.
I stopped at each checkpoint, where he picked up his Clan Vexillum and Clan Cloak. Next, we stepped into the Mining Golds Citadel. He had never seen a citadel before, so he ws quite overwhelmed by ours! I showed him the Mining Plot, and also explained how Resource Capping works. He wanted to see our Clan Bank next. I had never actually used it before, nor could I remember where it was exactly. I remember something about the Battlefield, so I teleprot over there. Sure enough, there was the bank chest. He thanked me for the Grand Tour, and he teleported away. I might as well get some resources before I log off...
I wanted to try out the new Crafting Plot, so I teleported over to the Loom. There, I could recieve 145 Crafting experience! I realized then that I was very close to level 72 Crafting. In fact, I would gain it after only a few rounds! I did it for a bit, and I achieved level 72 Crafting!
I mined a bit or Ore for a bit before logging off for the night.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

--October 8, 2011--
I logged on today after playing some hockey and my items had sold! I receieved my 4m from the Coal and Bird's Nests and added it to my cashpile, stacking it up to about 9m. I supposed I could go and cap at the Mining Golds Citadel, so I headed off over there.
I was on the Runescape Forums at the same time, and I happened to come by a thread by a player called Cheukming. He was brand new to the Runescape Member's worlds, and he wanted someone to show them around a bit. I PMed him, and asked him if he wanted me to show him how to get a Forum picture (the default one is pretty boring). I met with him in his world at the Falador Square. He had level 1 Agility, so we had to run all the way around Falador to reach Iconis, the wizard who takes the picture.
He came out, all excited to have his very own profile picture! Another low level player came walking by, and he started chatting with Cheukming. It turned out that both of them had level 1 Agility, and they asked me to guide them to an Agility Course. Well the lowest Agility Course there is would be the Tree Gnome Stronghold one... These two players hadn't completed a single member's quest either, so it looked like we'd be walking.
I guided them back through Falador, giving each of them a Varrock Teleport Tab. They probably had never been to this part of Gielinor, so they would probably get lost. I can't imagone getting lost in a place like that... So I made sure that they had a means of escape to a known place.
We were off! We headed north to Taverly, and then onto White Wolf Mountain. They only had level 1 Agility, so they constantly ran out of Run Energy.

We rested every time they needed to, and we slowly progressed from Catherby to Seer's Village, from North Ardougne to finally, the Tree Gnome Stronghold. We entered together, and I showed them to the Agility Course. I think Cheukming thought that the idea was to simply use any ostacle you could find in any order, so he started running around aimlessly, crossing logs and climbing nets.
I managed to track both of them down and explain to them that you had to do the obstacles in a specific order. I guided them across the log, over the net, up the tree, across the rope, back down the tree, over a second net and finally through the tunnel. They both achieved level 2 Agility!
I left them to train away, and teleported back to Edgeville. Now, it was time to cap at the Citadel. I teleported over with my Vexillum and entered the Citadel. I started out by making some regular bars. I did that until all the Charcoal was gone, then I headed over to the Kiln and started producing some Charcoal. It took a while, but after I had accumulated about 300 of it, I headed back to the Furnace. Smith Revamp and Joshyway showed up, and we chatted for a bit. Eventually, I ran out of charcoal and ore, so I headed over to the Kiln just to make some extra Charcoal. I did that until I had collected 1300/1700 resources, and then I decided to mine Ore until the 1700 mark.
Finally I had capped! And all that mining at the citadel really made me want to go mining in the Living Rock Caverns! I really wanted a Dragon Pickaxe though... I asked in Mining Golds, and ForeverDrex volunteered to lend one to me for 24 hours. I met him at the Grand Exchange in his world, meeting Magical Zing along the way. We chatted and I borrowed his Dragon Pickaxe for 24 hours. I chatted with Magical Zing for a while longer, giving him some tips on how to improve his armour.
I then headed into the Living Rock Caverns, where I stayed for the rest of my playing time.

Hi guys!
I logged on today, ready for some more Mining. I had borrowed that Dragon Pickaxe for 24 hours, so I definitely did not want to waste it. Finally, I looked like a real miner with my Dragon Pickaxe! It always looks goofy when I have my full Bandos on, but I'm using a little Rune Pickaxe... Then again, I'm wearing an Octopus on my head
Usually when I'm Mining, I'm either browsing YouTube or surfing the Internet or doing some homework. But this time, I could simply sit back and relax, either chatting with friends or helping players out on the forums. While I was chatting, I spotted a player named Rd Ducky near me at the SE rock. Funny enough, Rd Ducky was actually a Mining Golds member from so long ago... I remember she and I used to be great friends! What was most peculiar about her though was the fact that she had Barbarian Assault Role Ring about her feet. She was able to shout the commands just like in Barbarian Assault! Everyone was crowding around her, asking her how she had managed to get the red ring around her feet into the Living Rock Caverns.
I watched as the initial amazement of the players turned into anger. I have no idea why, but all of a sudden, these players were angry at Rd Ducky; perhaps for not telling them how to perform the graphical glitch? I PMed Rd Ducky, and we chatted for a bit. All the other players were telling her how they had reported her for bug abuse and encouraging rule breaking.
Personally, I don't see what's wrong with a graphical glitch. And as such, I didn't report her. I don't see any harm done with a simple red ring about her feet...

I feel that the Bug Abuse button should be used when the player is actually abusing the bug, not just walking around with it. This glitch was not actually causing any harm or giving her an advantage in-game, so I didn't see the necessity to report her. I chatted with her for a while whilst I mined.
A few hours later, I noticed something very unusual down in the Living Rock Caverns. It was like Player Moderator central or something! There were tons down there, Alec and Nuub just two of the many. Oh, and Maskyn was down there too! I've seen him on the forums loads! I had no idea that he was a dual moderator! Yeah, that was pretty cool
I mined for long while. I seriously did not want to give up this Dragon Pickaxe. It was mining gold at a rate far faster than my little Rune Pickaxe... It would be very hard to go back to that blue tool. I was looking around on the forums of course, and I happened to come across a thread about the water in the Living Rock Caverns. I simply had to check it out. Apparently, the waterfalls in the caverns flowed upwards instead of down! I had to go see that! I ran over to a Fishing spot and checked a cavern wall. Sure enough, the waterfalls were flowing upwards! But to where I wonder... Perhaps that's where the Falador Fountain gets its seemingly infinite water from!
A while later, Pacho1116 achieved level 99 Defence! What a huge achievement... It makes me wonder if I'll ever actually get some of my goals. I'd like to think I will, but who knows what could happen?
Again, browsing the forums, I found a thread by Ill be Brave. He was new to Dungeoneering, and he wanted someone to make him an Empowered Fire Staff along with some Blood Runes to bind. I PMed him, and we met up at Daemonheim. We entered a floor, and I immediately spotted a problem. He had just started Dungeoneering, and so he actually hadn't unlocked Complexity 6 yet... So it looked like we'd have to do a few dungeons first.

We flew through the first room. Man, at Complexity 4, small dungeons really were small. It only consisted of seven rooms! The boss was a Gluttonous Behemoth. Ill be Brave had never come across one of these, so he didn't know that you had to stand in front of the food to prevent the huge beast from healing. I desperately tried to tell him to stand there before it was too late, and thankfully, he managed to get there in time. We finished the floor!
Onto the next floor. This time, we were on Complexity 5, and although we could not access everything, we had full access to the Shop, and so we could buy the materials needed for his items. We completed a few rooms, Ill be Brave killing monsters and I looting everything to sell. It didn't take long for me to gather about 56k in coins. I bought a Corpsethorn Branch and Fletched it into a Staff, then Imbued it into an Empowered Fire Staff. That was actually the first time I had ever made a staff in Daemonheim; pretty cool!
I used the rest of my money to buy Rune Essence, with which I crafted 125 Blood Runes, the maximum amount of ammo you can bind. He was really happy about it, especially because I had turned down his 300k reward. He was only level 55... I remember when I was level 55. I think my entire bank consisted of a cashpile of 20k and some Mithril Armour
I had to leave the dungeon then to log off. I bade farewell to him and made sure that he had bound the items. I exite the dungeon and logged off. Only 380,000xp until level 96 Mining!
Thanks for reading! Oh, and OverMauled and I FINALLY got past level 20 on those crazy puzzles... Only to get totally stumped by level 21
Good night!

Hi everyone!
I logged on today at Daemonheim, where I immediately started getting some items ready for some more Mining. A player PMed me then, complimenting me on my blog! I can't quite remember this player's name... Snuggzx? SnuggzzXx? Oh, I can't remember
Anyways, this player whom we shall call Snugg, offered to lend me their Dragon Pickaxe! I was quite happy at that! Looked like I wasn't going to go back to my Rune Pickaxe after all! I met him at the Cooking Guild, where he loaned me his Dragon Pickaxe for six hours. Thanks!
I headed off to the Living Rock Caverns then, ready to relax in the mining environment. Lion 0fJudah PMed me, asking if I would go to a Corporeal Beast event with his clan on the weekend. That would be interesting... I haven't even completed that quest, let alone even think about going to that boss! But I had to admit, I would love to go there and do a mass event. I loved it when I went to the Bandos mass! I agreed to go! I would need to buy a Zamorakian Spear, along with a set of Karils though... Then again, I would need a Zamorakian Spear for certain Slayer tasks, and Waterfiends, and Karils is a staple for a lot of monsters.
I continued to mine. I was actually tempted to start drop-mining! It was really fast experience, and was sort of fun, although I sort of needed those Gold Ores as a source of income. So in the end, I didn't end up doing it.
I have big news though: I am now in charge of the "Interesting/Popular Threads" section in a brand-new sticky in the General Forum! This means that I'll have to look around for threads that especially catch my eye, and then get hold of the owner to seek out their permission to list their thread in the sticky.
This was way harder than I anticipated. It was easy enough to find good threads; there are loads of creative threads on these forums! Contacting the players was a whole different story.

I had added nine players to my Friends List, all of them needing to be PMed. Unfortunately, not a single player was online. I was starting to get a little worried... How would I contact these players?
Thankfully, at least one of the players logged on. Her name was Veil Cypher. I spoke with her, and my first thread for the sticky was secured! None of the other players ever did log on, so I created a quick post on their threads to ask them for their permission.
I mined for a long time, until I realized that my time with my Dragon Pickaxe was almost up. I checked how long I still had and was shocked by how close I was! Four minutes left! I ran to the rope and exited the Living Rock Caverns. I ran west to the Mine Carts and travelled first to Keldagrim, and then to the glorious trading hub; the Grand Exchange.
I discarded that lovely Dragon Pickaxe and withdrew my boring Rune one. Back to the blue. I checked how many Gold Ores I had collected so far though. 25,000! That was about $5,000,000! I could sell those and get a Zamorakian Spear... Now there's an idea!
I headed back down into the Living Rock Caverns again. I logged off soon after. Only 220,000xp until level 96 Mining!
Tomorrow, I think I'll do those quests to gain access to the Corporeal Beast. I can definitely see myself slaying bosses for money! I think it would be tons of fun.
Thanks for reading! Oh, and by the way, Happy Thanksgiving! Here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. Oh, and it was good. Real good.
Good night!
