This one was north of the Camelot Castle. My next clue was a Scan... I hated those. This one was located in the Haunted Woods. I travelled there via Fairy Ring and started my search. I looked for quite a while, and found nothing. But finally, I found it. It was only a few paces west of the Fairy Ring... After solving a quick Puzzle Box, I got the next step: Another Compass. After digging this one up south of Falador, near the Chemist's House, I got the next clue.
Another Scan Clue! This one was in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. I headed down there with my Emerald Lantern, scanning the area. I met up with another adventurer down there, doing the same thing. We both ran about, scanning all the while. I found my spot before he did, and when I dug it up, I was disappointed to see a Celtic Knot. Surprisingly, I managed to do it in under two minutes.
Next clue... Another Compass. This one led me to Al Kharid. The next step was yet another Compass! This one led me to just west of the Goblin Village. Here, I claimed my Casket! Who knew what I would get? I opened it... And was a little disappointed. There were two teleport scrolls, along with eight Onyx Bolt Tips and some Blood Runes. In total, it was worth about 119k. That was okay though! The Arcane Sigil made up for everything! I sold the loot and lowered my asking price for the Arcane Sigil. I claimed 54m for it, bringing my cashpile to 120m. I could afford a rare item... Never thought I'd see the day.
I lent out my Amulet of Fury to a player for free, and then gave him some advice on the Bandos God Wars Dungeon. A while later, I bought ten Dharok's Platebodies for Thorran and sold them to him. It seemed he had hit his limit!
That was all for me today... I logged off for the night. I'm still in disbelief that I got an Arcane Sigil! I'm going to have to wait a while before I go back to the Corporeal beast!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

New Years Eve!
I logged on today at the Grand Exchange. I really didn't want to work on that Mithril Dragon task... I wanted to go back to the Corporeal Beast! I grabbed my gear and set out. I knew I wouldn't be getting any drops of course; my LSP was in the negatives! Still though, just being at the Corporeal Beast was a lot of fun.
Just as I thought, I didn't receive a single drop. There had been a Spectral Sigil drop fifteen hours ago though, so maybe my luck would kick into high gear and I would get another... Pachocus was there, and we camped out for a while. With so many Onyx Bolt (e) drops, I must be making a dent in my negative LSP!
It felt being in there... A lot of players who had been there when I got my sigil were asking why I was even there. Good question... It was still lots of fun though, and I was enjoying myself. I stayed there for a long time, hoping to see a sigil drop. After all, I've never gained the LSP from missing a sigil!
I stayed there for a long time, and didn't receive a single drop. THat must have put a dent in the hole I dug for myself! After a long time, I decided to stop camping at the Corporeal Beast for today. I had 120m to flip with... I had no idea where to begin. I sat at the Grand Exchange for a long time, thinking. Eventually, out of sheer boredom, I went to the Mining Golds Citadel. What to do...
I decided to write a guide on flipping! It was a really quick and easy guide, something that you could take one look at and immediately know how to flip. So I wrote my guide while sitting at the Smithing plot. If you want to check it out, here's the QFC:
QFC: 98-99-372-63485304
That was all I did for today! Hopefully I'll be able to get a drop tomorrow!
Good night!

Happy New Years everyone!
I logged on today at the Grand Exchange. Time to try flipping items with 120m! I was a little nervous... I'd never had this much money before, and I didn't want to blow it. I found a couple of items with Lion 0fJudah's help and put in some offers. That was done... Now it was time to resume digging myself out of that massive LSP hole I was in.
So the camping trip started. No hot dogs or marshmallows; I was really roughing it. The last sigil hadn't been dropped in quite a long time, so I didn't want to miss an opportunity to get some LSP. Of course, if I managed to actually get the drop, I would never return to the Corporeal Beast ever again.
I had been at the mass for a few days now, and I'm beginning to recognize the regulars. It's just like the Living Rock Caverns actually! I could see myself getting right in at home... all cozy. I could see the LSP Leaders right away. These guys got everything, and you were lucky if you ever got a drop. Me being in the negative LSP's, I didn't get a single drop. I've missed tons of drops now though... I must be coming out of the hole soon!
After a long time of camping, No Ugos came along and joined me. I still hadn't received a single drop, and I still haven't seen a sigil drop for someone else. It was getting a little monotonous... So, as always, I had to spice it up. What better way to do that then to see how long you could go without eating? I would try and predict where the Corporeal Beast would attack, so that I could run away and avoid the splash damage. It was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be!

I camped for a lot longer, still not receiving any drops. Maybe I'm actually out of the hole, and my LSP is saving up for the next sigil drop!
After a long time, I returned to the Grand Exchange and tended to my items. DivineFury PMed me then, asking me a favour. She was with Lion 0fJudah at the Armadyl God Wars Dungeon, and wanted me to bring both of them a War Tortoise Pouch. I geared up, and after figuring out what I would need to cross the gap separating the Armadyl Fortress from the rest of the dungeon, I set out.
A few minutes later, I was in the dungeon. Apparently a Staff of Light works as a Saradomin item... I didn't get attacked once. I swung over the gap and ran to the boss door. Another player was there, who wanted me to hop worlds. Good thing I wasn't going to enter the boss room! I waited for DivineFury and Lion 0fJudah to log in, and then I traded them the pouches. They logged off, in search of another world.
I teleported back to the Grand Exchange, where I saw a player asking to borrow an Amulet of Fury. Lucky him! I grabbed mine and loaned it to him for one hour; exactly what he wanted.
It was getting late now though, so I logged off for the night. Thanks for reading!
Good night!

I logged on today, ready for some more Corporeal Beast camping. I arrived there only to find out I had missed an Arcane drop by an hour... There was no way I was going to get a drop now. I left, in search of something new.
What to do... Pachocus was training Firemaking in an attempt to get 90 for the new quest, so I decided I would do some as well. I had about 8000 logs in my bank, so I teleported to Mobilising Armies and started lighting fires. It was pretty monotonous... But for some reason, it had a strange appeal. After doing that for about an hour, I had gained 95k experience!
I didn't feel like doing it though... Maybe Agility would be more fun. So I set out to the Wilderness Agility Course, where I started running some laps. If I was lucky, maybe that Talent Scout would notice me! Another player was there too, and I made a little game; try to lap him. It was actually incredibly difficult, and after gaining 10,000xp, I grew bored. I left, in search of something else.
Hmm... Maybe Fishing would be fun. I teleported to the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, where I started fishing Monkfish. It was faster than I remembered, but still quit slow. I wasn't really having much fun here either. Filthy Water PMed me, and I met him later at the Duel Arena. I killed him a few times, along with a few other random players. I was still very bored...
I headed off to the Grand Exchange. Maybe I'd find some motivation there! I walked around, looking for something to do. Hm... It had been a while... I knew what I would do. I started buying random items and then logged into a free-to-play world.

I started giving out random items to people, along with money in stacks of 100k. My cashpile was hurting, but it was fun to see the players' faces light up. After an enormous crowd had gathered, I Home Teleported to Lumbridge. Festus Krex joined me, and after giving out some random items, along with a full Iron Set, I sat and watched Festus Krex talk to the new players.
I bought one player's Bronze Dagger for 1000gp, and was surprised by how happy the player was. I remember a very long time ago, a player gave me 4000gp. That was the most I had ever seen, and I was in shock! I continued to watch the conversations... People watching, if you will. I was so bored... I hadn't felt like this in a long time.
I logged off after a while. I had no idea what to do! Maybe I need a break from Runescape. What do you think?
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hello!
I logged onto Runescape, fully motivated! But as soon as I got a flip item going, I was stuck again. Man, what did I feel like doing? Training Agility would be a good idea, but that's no fun... Hmm... I had it! I finally discovered what I felt like doing! It made no profits or anything like that, and was of no real use... Firemaking!
For some reason, I really felt like training Firemaking! I teleported out to Mobilising Armies and before I started training, I started doing a promotion search for Mining Golds. After that was done, it was time to burn some logs! It's a tough week for Mining Golds. The race for Tier 7 is on, and it's going to be close! With only two days to go, we're going to have to kick it into high gear to get it done! And if we don't... Well I'll be very disappointed in those who didn't bother to cap, and I will most likely kick them.
I started the Firemaking. Despite it repetitiveness, it was actually a lot of fun. Relaxing, I might add. After a while, FireCapeFury asked me to bring him 5000 Bone Bolts for 50k. I agreed, and teleported to the Grand Exchange with the Spirit Tree. I bought the bolts for 50k; Looked like I'd be coming out of this even!
I teleported to Ardougne, and an north, to the Combat Training Camp. I remember going there for my very first time... I traded him the bolts for my 50k! I teleported back to the Mobilising Armies and resumed my Firemaking training.

I had my same two rows I always lit the fires in. One was right by the outer wall of the Mobilising Armies, and the other was just above the nearby Spirit Tree. I trained it for a long while, chatting with Thorran, Filthy Water and my clan. I wish Firemaking would yield a profit, but having fun is definitely more important. Only two levels until I could use the Jadinko Lair... I wonder how that's going to be!
I'm also really liking the right-click Firemaking! It makes it much more fun, not to mention faster! After quite a while, I managed to achieve level 82 Firemaking! Only one level to go until I could use the Jadinko Lair! I'm also very close to a 2000 total level... That will be a huge achievement; I've always thought of having a 2000+ total as being high level.
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
I logged on today at the Mobilising Armies. All day, I was hoping against hope that Mining Golds had reached the mark for 100% resources collected for a Tier 7 Citadel. No other clan has reached Tier 7 before, and if we do this, we will be the first clan to do so in Runescape's history!
The first thing I did when I logged on was ask how close we were. When I logged off yesterday, we were 77% to Tier 7. Today, we were 94%! So close! Now, we were running Rated Clan Wars with MiningGolds, our sister clan, to get new members off probation right away. One of these wars was about to start, and they needed some more members to participate. I had nothing better to do, so I decided to go!
It was on a free-to-play world, and unfortunately, I didn't know that... I was in my full Bandos, which had absolutely no stat value in free-to-play. So I waited at the Clan Camp with the other members, slowly waiting for more members to arrive. In the meantime, I used all the emotes I had, and we tried to outdo each other. I was winning for a while with my "Infernal Power"... Until a player from MiningGolds came along and showed his the always-awe-inspiring Completionist's Cape emote.
After waiting for a while, we finally began the match! Luckily, as the match started, a bank screen popped up, and I could choose my rune items! I didn't have any Rune Platelegs, so I chose everything else I could and ran off into the fray. Most of MiningGolds consisted of low level players, so for the most part, I didn't die. There was the occasional high levelled player though, who would kill you rather instantly.
I had to get Mining Golds more into this! This was fun! By the time it ended, I was up for round two! It was all over though...

I had a pretty good Kill/Death Ratio: 12:2! I didn't quite feel like Firemaking just yet though. I headed into the portal and hung out with the Timber workers at the Citadel. There were tons of them; we would be able to get Tier 7! I checked a few people off for capping, and thanked them all for participating. Many of these players were from MiningGolds, and were doing it out of the goodness of their heart.
I left a while later. That strange explainable urge to train Firemaking had come back. I teleported back to the Mobilising Armies, and started lighting fires. I browsed the forums at the same time, no doubt ruining my experience gains. After a while, I met a player at the bank who was very wealthy. He was only level 113, which surprised me. He sported a Divine Spirit Shield and full Pernix. I sat and chatted with him for a while, sharing goals and ambitions.
When I asked him how he had made so much money, he explained to me that he PKed players in the Wilderness (High Risk). He used Storm of Armadyl, and targeted players wearing full Bandos. Apparently, after a while of doing that, you can make a lot of money! Of course, that's not an option for me; I'm Wilderness-phobic.
I left him be, and continued to train Firemaking. I do love training these more relaxing skills. It lets me catch up with friends and my clan; something I can't do when I concentrating on not dying at the Corporeal Beast. By the time I was finished, I was only 92,000xp away from level 83 Firemaking! I wonder if training in the Jadinko Lair is going to be fun... I sure hope so!
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!
