I ran to the bank and got out all of my pouches and law runes. I filled them to the brim and headed to the altar.
After a few runs, I noticed a certain player. It was TheAncientFX! What a coincidence that we would meet at the Grand Exchange, talk about crafting Astral Runes, then meet here! I ran over to him and said hi. He didn't respond. After a few runs of a non-responsive TheAncientFX, I gave up. The next run, I saw him log off. A few runs later though, I saw him log on the instant that I ran past him. He followed me, and said "Hey". I started talking to him, delighted that he recognized me. But he then said that he had to log off... I said my usual "Okie Dokie" and went on my way.
Well, that's all for today! Thanks for reading! Good night!

--May 3, 2011--
Today, I did one single run of Astral runes and decided to gear up for some Slayer. I was looking forward to doing some Slayer; My task was Hellhounds. I was about to leave when Addiedady78 PMed me. He wanted a Smithing assist so that he could make something within his POH. Of course, I agreed. I teleported to Falador and ran down to Rimmington, enjoying the awesome view of the new trees. We met, and soon discovered that you are not able to assist someone to make something within their house. That was a bit of a bummer. Addiedady78 offered me 5k for coming down and trying to help, which I obviously declined. He then wanted me to check out his house. I walked in. He showed me around a bit, and we finally came upon the Combat Ring. I started fighting him. He was weilding a Fire Staff and some robes, while I had all of my Slayer Gear on. Poor guy didn't have much of a chance! He logged off, and I started again to Slayer.
I teleported to Falador. I ran all the way to the Taverly Dungeon, ran around the huge maze (I really need 80 Agility, or even just 70), and finally reached the Hellhounds. After killing around 20 of them, "Darkeyeknows" PMed me. I had just posted a response on his thread about how to make money, and I had suggested Runecrafting. He had PMed me wondering what he should be doing at level 69. I sugested the ZMI altar, and told him what he should be wearing. I killed more Hellhounds, until my 67th kill. I had gotten what I was looking for. A Hard Clue Scroll!
I started it as soon as I ran out of food. It took me all over the place. From Morytania to Baxtorian Falls, to the Bedabin Camp to the White Wolf Mountain. That's just to name a few places. Eventually, my adventure ended within the depths of the Elemental Workshop.
My loot: One Rune Platebody, two Black Dragonhide Bodies, and six Miscellania teleports.
I resumed my Slaying, until I logged off. That was it for the day! The clue scroll had taken quite a while.
Night!

(Ok, so I forgot to write this in yesterday: I had gone to Lumbridge to pick up my Veteran's Cape from Hans. I went through all of the dialogue options... And didn't get my cape! I was almost sure that my account was over five years old... But I guess not. My account must be like 4.999 years old then )
Today, I logged on and was immediately attacked by a Hellhound. Oh well, no big deal. I owned that crap out of him! It's really odd, but I seem to hit my max quite a lot on Hellhounds. Another guy noticed this with me as well. His name was ABN SkYWALKR. He asked me if I was using a potion of some sort becuase I seemed to be hitting my max on almost every Hellhound I attacked. ABN SkYWALKR and I had a conversation for quite a while on whether it was better to just eat food at Hellhounds, or if it was better to Protect from Melee. We talked for a long time, until I had to teleport out and get some more food. I ran all the way back into the dungeon, and was about to finish my task when I got a Random Event.
It was the Sandwich Lady event. I picked up my baguette and I was about to leave when I noticed a player just standing there. Well the "puzzle" isn't particularly diificult, so the only other reason I could think of that he would just be standing there would be that he was a bot. He was level 95, and had some crazy name like "Dj120393" or something. I reported him.
I was sent back to the Hellhounds and finished off my task. No more clue scrolls
I teleported to Edgeville using my Amulet of Glory, banked my items and picked out two Law Runes, two Water Runes and 40 coins. I teleported to Ardougne, took the boat to Brimhaven, took the cart to Shilo Village and got a new Slayer Task. I was pretty sure that I was due for some more dragons, so I was a little anxious. But, thankfully, I got one of my favourite tasks. Dust Devils! I geared up and headed to the Smoke Dungeon.

I walked in and started my task. The most amazing thing had happened. I was actually hitting a lot! The last time I had been to the Dust Devils, I had had to run to the bank a few times. But not this time. I tanked out 164 Dust Devils all in one trip for the very first time. I didn't get too many amazing drops. I got a Loop Half of Key, 4 rubies, 3 emeralds, 5 Red D'hide Vambraces, about 1800 Fire Runes and a few herbs. I also got 75 Strength! Having completed this task, I headed back to Duradel.
After finally getting to him, I knew for sure that I was going to get a dragon task. I clicked the "Get Assignment" button... and got 126 Hellhounds. Phew! You guys must have complained to Duradel about all the dragon tasks! So thanks guys!
I didn't really feel like doing any more Slayer, so I decided to do some more Runecrafting. That Bandos Chestplate wasn't going to earn itself! I made my way to Lunar Isle and met a player named "420 drop" in the bank fletching. He was wearing a Bandos Chestplate along with a Santa Hat, and to top it off, a Trimmed Runecrafting Skillcape.
I asked him for some tips about Runecrafting. Lucky for me, he wasn't one of those rich players who never respond to lowly noobs like myself. He told me his method, and we chatted for a while about astral runes. Apparently, I should be selling my Astral Runes soon. He predicted that they would crash to about 110 each. I guess my Bandos Chestplate might come sooner than I thought
I Runecrafted more, and eventually got to a total of 39,000 Astral Runes banked.
Well that's it for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!

--May 5, 2011--
Today, I spent all my time Runecrafting. So there's really not to much to tell. I was in the middle of it however, when someone in my clan said that they needed 40 days until they could get the Veteran's Cape. I had no idea that there was a way that to tell how many more days you needed! Apparently, it tells you in the chatbox after you talk with Hans in Lumbridge.
I was on Lunar Spellbook, and I didn't want to change, so I used one of my many Varrock Teleport tabs and ran the distance to Lumbridge. I talked to Hans and found out how many more days I needed. 131 more days. Well that's not to bad. I guess I'll just have to wait.
I Home Teleported back to Lunar Isle and started Runecrafting again.
I'm not really to sure if I should wait for the price of Astral Runes to rise, or if I should sell them now. That guy from yesterday, 420 drop, suggested I sell them now. I think I might wait a few days then sell them. I can't wait for my Bandos Chestplate! I've wanted it for years!
I have this terrible luck when it comes to selling things. I have a feeling that if I sell my Astral Rune now (I have about 46,000 now), its price will skyrocket to 180gp. Then again, if I don't sell it, it will probably drop to about 115gp. So it's a lose-lose situation.
I continued to Runecraft, and I had just teleported back to the Lunar Isle bank when I saw the level up screen. I had just gotten level 76 Magic! I Runecraft a lot, and so I gradually gain Magic experience. I think I have gotten levels 74-76 just from the spells NPC Contact and Lunar Isle Group Teleport.
I Runecrafted some more, and I finally got to below 200k experience remaining. Only 199k to go!
Well that's it for today! Thanks for reading! Good night!

--May 6, 2011--
I started off today with some more Runecrafting. I was in quite a dillemma. I wasn't sure whether or not to sell my Astral Runes and buy a Bandos Chestplate. I asked people in my clan, ChaosZerk, and I even made a thread on the forums.
I gathered information, and eventually made my decision. But then FIlIpIno IRL (Prevously Labas Utak) PMed me. He had a Fletching effigy. We met in my world at the Grand Exchange, and I assisted him for 30,000 experience. Free experience! I thanked him, and we talked for a while. He was going to get 98 Prayer today! He walked off, and I was stuck at the Grand Exchange, wondering what to do. I eventually Home Teleported back to Lunar Isle, and started Runecrafting again. I had about 50,000 Astral Runes at this time, and I was really not sure what to do with them again. I talked to a player named Miss Ruse who was Runecrafting with me. She said I should sell them. I still wasn't so sure. I crafted another 4,000 Astral Runes and decided that it would be best to sell them. Better to make a bunch of money now, then risk a fall in price. I used a Varrock Teleport tab and ran to the Grand Exchange.
I withdrew my 54,000 Astral Runes and put them up for Guide Price on the Grand Exchange. They sold instantly. I took out my newly acquired 8m. I now had a cash pile of 23m. I put up a buy offer for a Bandos Chestplate. To my surprise, it had dropped in price, to about 19m. Lucky me! It bought instantly. I took it out of the Grand Exchange and equipped it. This was a very exciting moment for me! I had wanted a Bandos Chestplate for a very long time... Probably since 2007. It had been my "Item Goal" for so long, and now that I finally had it, I was in disbelief. It looked awesome. Far better than I thought it would look. But my cash pile was in shambles. I had gone from 23m to about 4m. I deposited my Bandos Chestplate and decided to go Runecrafting again.

As always, when I'm on Lunar Spellbook at the Grand Exchange, I asked if anyone needed a teleport before I left. Only one guy needed one. He ran up to me, and I teleported him away. We landed in Lunar Isle, he thanked me, and I ran to the bank. I withdrew my Runecrafting supplies and started Runecrafting. I had only gotten about 700 astral runes when ChaosZerk PMed me. He wanted to do something with me. I had told him that I had finally gotten a Bandos Chestplate, so why not go test it out in the Duel Arena? He was in the middle of a Medium size Dungeon, so I teleported to the Duel Arena and waited... and waited... and waited. Eventually, he came. We started fighting. I was wearing my Bandos Chestplate, Abyssal Whip and Obsidian Shield, the Verac's Plateskirt that Lion0f Judah had given me, and some other items. My Saradomin Sword was in my inventory.
The first fight was pretty fast. ChaosZerk was having a hard time hitting through my armour, and I was slicing through his like butter. We fought match after match. I won most of them, but he was victorious a few times; it was his crazy Korasi that kept killing me! It always hit, and was always a 200+. Eventually, ChaosZerk had had enough, and he went away. There was only one other player in the Duel Arena. His name was Axixus, and he was level 138. I decided to challenge him (friendly, of course). He started off ranging, and hit me a few 200's. But I was hitting him quite often. But I was no match for his maxed stats. He killed me, but I did much better than I thought I would. He had about a quarter of his health left when he died.
We had a rematch, but this time he was doing melee. He utterly destroyed me. He had a Chaotic Rapier along with a Fire Cape, and I didn't even get a chance to hit before I got totally disowned.
We thanked each other for a fun match, and I ran to the Duel Arena Bank. This was when Bloodspawn65 PMed me. He wanted a teleport to Lunar Isle.

I was wearing my Bandos Chestplate and all my fighting gear. I quickly unequipped all of my armour and weapons. I wanted to keep it a surprise for you guys that I had finally gotten a Bandos Chestplate!
I teleported to the Grand Exchange, and met with Bloodspawn65. He tried to trade me something, so I opened the trade screen. I thought he was going to give me the runes for the teleport, but instead he gave me 15k in cash. I declined the offer, with a response of "Lol, it's free!" But he insisted that it was a donation towards a Bandos Chestplate. Little did Bloodspawn65 know, I had a Bandos Chestplate in my inventory at that exact moment! I insisted that he keep his money, and I teleported us to Lunar Isle.
He thanked me, and ran off while I ran to the bank. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my Seal of Passage, so I was whisked away to Relleka. Lucky for me, I had unlocked the Neitznot bank, so I took a ship over to the small island. I withdrew my Ring of Kinship and teleported to Daemonheim.
There were tons of people at Daemonheim! I eased my way through the crowds and managed to get to the opening. Every single time I try to enter the dungeons, I always forget to put myself into a party. Today was the same. Once I got into Daemonheim, I started the raiding.
The first floor I entered, Floor 18, featured the Saggitare Boss. I fought it, and only barely survived. By the end of the fight, I had 64 lifepoints remaining, and no Prayer Points. I dropped my Group Gatestone and teleported back to the base. I had two keys left, and they opened two doors that were linked to one room. They formed a "T". Unfortunately, this room that they were linked to was inhabited by four level 60 Mysterious Shades. By now, my health was at about 260. I sprinted into the room, and charged for the doors. Miraculously, all of the monster's attacks were missing. I opened the first door. It was a dead end. I ran to the other side and opened that door. Dead end there too.

Thankful, I ran back to the door that I had come through. That was when the Mysterious Shades began seriously hitting me. I was hit a 60, then a 100, then a 40. I barely escaped. I had 32 hitpoints! I jumped through the teleporter and ended the dungeon. I entered the next floor, floor 19. I had already completed this floor with ChaosZerk a while ago, so I exited and re-entered at floor 24. I got pretty far, and I eventually came to the room with a Fremennik Scout. He wanted me to cook some fish, smith somoe weapons and fletch some bows. I smithed the weapons and cooked the fish, but when I tried to fletch the bows, (the one that I thought I would be able to guaranteed), I was smacked with a message that read: "You need a Fletching level of 104 to do this." No big deal. I'll just make a potion.
So after about five minutes of struggling to find the ingredients, I finally made the potion. I made my way to the room, drank the potion... and got smacked with that message again. My potion had only boosted my Fletching level up to 103! Well that was a bummer... I teleported back to the Home Base, killed the boss and finished the dungeon.
I had had enough of Dungeoneering, so I decided to do some more Runecrafting and work on my next goal: I'm going to save up enough money for 94 Magic. I have a bit of a list of items and things that I want to spend my money on. The first was my Abyssal Whip, then my Saradomin Sword, then my new Bandos Chestplate. That's only a section of the list though. The next few items in order of priority are: 94 Magic, 80 Crafting, Dragon Pickaxe.
I teleported to the Grand Exchange and decided to lend out some items. I almost always lend my items out for free, so why not this time? I yelled out "Lending items for free!" and instantly got a player's trade offer.
I put up my Brackish Blade, Abyssal Whip, Bandos Chestplate, Saradomin Sword and Dragon Hatchet. Obviously, like any other sane person, he chose the Bandos Chestplate.

He exited out of the trade screen, and ran to the bank. The instant that he had said "I'll take the bcp", about ten people ran over to me. I guess they had seen me yell out "Lending stuff for free" but had not chosen to come over. I'm probably the only person I know who is willing to lend out a Bandos Chestplate for free, so my chatbox was filled with people trying to trade me. But I waited for the orginal player. He came back and I lent him the Bandos Chestplate for six hours, all for free. He equipped it, thanked me, and ran off. People were still crowded around me for some reason, still wanting to see what I could lend them. I nicely explained to them that I could only lend one item at a time, and they walked away.
I teleported to Lunar Isle (with my Seal of Passage this time), and started Runecrafting. Someone had said something funny in my Friend's Channel (Mining Golds). I responded with a simple "lol". Then a player named Benjarmin replied with "Omg its grimworld!" This was pretty funny! Benjarmin is one of my readers, and what were the chances of seeing him in my clan (unless he joined it becuase of this very blog). I later found out that he had found out about my clan from this blog. We talked for a while, and eventually, I got a Clan Administrator, RobbG, to invite him to the clan. We gained a new member!
I continued to Runecraft more.
Well, that was quite a long entry! Pat yourselves on the back if you finished it all! Thanks for reading, and good night!
