Hi!
I logged in today at the Jadinko Lair, to meet NbdZaros and feihcreknaT (formerly Tankerchief), members of Mining Golds. I started cutting down some roots, admiring the new pet that NbdZaros had obtained from the new quest. I had only burned through a few inventories though when MG Shrek asked if anyone wanted to do an Occult floor. Hmm... Why not?
I accepted, and I met him in Daemonheim soon after, where I joined his party. feihcreknaT was there too, along with I K A D and of jadinkos. We started! MG Shrek was the keyer, and I could tell right away that the dungeon was not going to be a fun one. I started lagging like crazy, and when I came back to the land of 10+ FPS, I found that all the food was gone... Yep, fun times.
A few rooms later, we tried were trying to catch the attention of I K A D, who seemed not to notice that he was the only player in the party with 99 Crafting. We waited at the door for a good five minutes before he finally realized that we were waiting for him. I was still lagging quite badly though, and I wasn't able to pick up any food! It had been a while since the Dungeoneering Rage had met with me, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling. I could feel it deep down in my stomach, like a great rock weighing me down.
The rest of the dungeon started going a bit smoother. There were the odd moments of players not paying any attention, but for the most part, things started picking up the pace.

Everything was going great until we hit the very last unopened door. This room required a Smithing level of 100 to smith a Broken Hook, and after ages of trying to make a potion, we finally fixed the hook... Only to find out that we needed 102 Strength for the crank. Ages later, we finally had the herbs ready for the Strength Potion. We then started the task of trying to get I K A D's attention. He was the only one with a high enough Herblore level to make the potion! Finally, he noticed us, and we continued on.
The boss in this dungeon was a Grave Creeper. I hadn't died once, and I was excited to get a ton of experience! I teleported to the room before the boss, and started attacking some of the monsters. It's always better to have a nice and safe room before a boss! Unfortunately, everything piled onto me immediately, and I died almost instantly.
I returned though, with all the Dungeoneering Rage I could ever want and more. The Grave Creeper went down quite easily though! But as we were racing to the door to finish the dungeon, the lightning came down! I raced through my food, but realizing it wasn't enough, I teleported out at the last second, only with 98 Lifepoints to spare.
I had done it! I had made it through, and gained 58,000xp! That dungeon reminded me why Dungeoneering sometimes frustrated me so intensively... Before returning to the Jadinko Lair, I set up a Mining Golds clan Vexillum. I loved looking at it!
Back in the lair, I started to burn some roots. feihcreknaT was there finishing up his Jadinko task. Time wore on, and I gained a lot of Firemaking experience. Eventually, I logged off for the night. I had gained 222,777xp in Firemaking today!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
Again, I didn't have too much time to play again today. After that disastrous math test, I've been working very hard to make sure I fully understand this last chapter: Probability.
I did stay in the Jadinko Lair for a little while, slowly working towards level 91 Firemaking. My computer was lagging incredibly badly though, even after turning my graphics to "Min". I had to restart my computer once due to a Windows Update, and right after that, I had to restart it again, due to an Adobe Update. When I finally managed to get back on, I was still lagging terribly, and it was almost time to go rock climbing.
I am so happy I went rock climbing though. Me and two other climbers had been working the same project for two hours! My finger tips were bright red from all the skin constantly being scratched off, and my knuckles were bleeding. Yep, it was one tough problem. After two hours, I had one more attempt left in me.
It started off of a moderately difficult move. I had to reach way out to the side and grab hold of an enormous bulbous rock with absolutely no friction at all. From there, with no footholds, I had to literally jump to a stalactite. This jump was the part I had been falling on for two hours.
On this final attempt, I actually stuck it. I brought my other hand in, as everyone else was cheering me on. No one had ever gotten this far before! Now, the roof ended, and my next hold was on the flat slab adjacent to the overhang. I reached as far as I could, and grabbed the tiny hold. Boy, it was bad. The finish was right there though, just a foot away from the small rock I was holding with my right hand.

Although it was close, there was no way I could reach it. If I moved any of my hands, I would surely fall. Instead, I twisted my right foot ninety degrees counter-clockwise, and wrapped it around the stalactite that my left hand was on. With my right foot, I placed it on the front of the protruding spike. Now, I gingerly freed my left hand. It felt like I was going to fall any moment!
With a great yell, I pulled as hard as I could with my right hand, using everything I had. My left hand threw to the finish, and caught it. I had done it. I placed my other hand on the finish and dropped off. Wow, that was intense. Everyone was congratulating me; I was the first person to do it. It felt great! Those two hours of work had really paid off!
So there's a random insight of me rock climbing. I didn't play too much Runescape today, and I wanted to write about something... I've actually considered recording myself rock climbing and uploading it to Youtube. The only problem is that I don't own a video camera!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I logged on in the Mining Golds Citadel. Time to collect some Timber! I had collected my Minions yesterday, so I didn't have to worry about them. When I tried to teleport to the Woodcutting plot, it didn't work! That was definitely odd... Instead, I ran there. As I chopped the wood, I was told that a number of glitches and bugs were being found with our beautiful Tier 7 Citadel. A major bug was that our Loom had disappeared! Apparently, a Jagex Moderator had entered our Clan Chat a few hours ago to try and find out more information.
When I finally collected all the Timber the clan needed, I still had over a thousand resources to collect. I headed over to the Mining plot, the plot I used to always be at before I got 99 Mining. I started mining Precious Ore, trying to adjust my click time as the experience gain was slightly slower than the Timber..
An hour or so later, I had capped! All 2700 resources taken care of! After checking off a few members for capping, I exited the Citadel. For the next few minutes, I practiced using my HyperCam. I was lagging really badly though, and so the videos weren't that great... I ended up deleting them.
I wasn't really sure what to do... I logged off for dinner and ended up opening the game I got for Christmas: Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Runescape and Assassin's Creed are the only two games I ever play!
A while later, I logged back on to Runescape. I travelled back to the Jadinko Lair, and cut a few roots. It was then that Pachocus PMed me, wanting back into Mining Golds. After an incredibly long discussion with ForeverMandy, I finally managed to get Pachocus back into Mining Golds! Welcome back Pachocus

A clanmate, Yougotsaprob, hadn't received his Secret Santa gift yet, and the player who was supposed to be giving him the gift wasn't even in the clan anymore. I waited until he logged out and then asked Mining Golds if they'd be willing to donate some presents to him. Soon, I met everyone at the Grand Exchange fountain and collected everyone's gifts. Poor Yougotsaprob had been waiting for so long... Now, he can finally get his gift! Quite a few players donated, with gifts including piles of cash, a Staff of Light and a Guthix Page!
Finally, my conscious was at rest. He could finally have his present! I returned to the Jadinko Lair and started burning more roots. Level 91 Firemaking was creeping up slowly but surely, and I'm certain that I'll get the level on the weekend.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I logged on today in the Jadinko Lair. I started cutting roots right away. I wasn't actually aware of how close to a level I was, so when I achieved level 91 Firemaking, it came as a bit of a shock! Now I could open Starved Ancient Effigies with Firemaking... I had completely forgotten about that. No more asking for 91 Cooking assists!
I had nothing else to do, so I continued to light fires. I invited Most Wanted into Mining Golds after a while, and continued to burn Curly Roots. I did this for hours, taking a few breaks here and there to exercise, run with my dog and lounge about. I burned so many Curly Roots... A part of me wanted to beat that record of mine for getting 805,000xp in Firemaking in a single day.
A very, very, very, very long time later, I achieved level 92 Firemaking. Finally, I could obtain the Inferno Adze! I asked Joshyway a few questions about it, and looked up a guide. At first it looked like it would be easy, but on closer inspection, I decided that it might actually be very difficult.
Before I started on that though, Yougotsaprob logged in. I could give him his late Secret Santa gift! I met with him at the Grand Exchange fountain and gave him all the gifts everyone had given him. In total, the value came to about 5m. Right next to me was a player who apparently had very little money (he was in awe to see my Dragon Hatchet). He asked me if he could have 1500 Maple Logs... I actually still had over 3000 in my bank from my Miscellania kingdom, so I ran over and brought him his logs. As I ran off, he thanked me.
Now, it was time to pre-load those beacons! Before I ran all the way to the first beacon near Morytania, I caught myself with the noted logs. Hard to fill 14 beacons with a single note! I banked in Varrock and ran to the first beacon. I teleported out and ran to the second one. I did this repeatedly, slowly making my way to the beacon located in Edgeville.

I had just piled in twenty logs into the Edgeville beacon when a player wanted to join Mining Golds. I waited in Edgeville for a while, and soon "1 Selena 1" joined the clan! Alright, next beacon... This one was located on the Ice Mountain. I ran from Edgeville all the way to the beacon. Unfortunately, I needed to be a member of the Monestary...
As I spoke with Abbot Langley, I prayed that I wouldn't have to do some mini-quest. Instead, I was let in just like that. Huh, that was easy. I headed back to the beacon and piled in the logs.
The next one was in the Goblin Village. I quickly banked in Falador and ran to the Goblin Village, getting lost a few times due to being so unfamiliar with the area. When I finally made my way to the beacon, the little goblin stopped me, claiming us smelly humans weren't allowed to use it. Oh no...
Yep, I had to do the quest "Land of the Goblins" first... Well, no time better than the present. I looked up what items I would need, and got to work collecting them all. Some of those were some awfully obscure items... The player whom I paid 50,000gp for a Slimy Eel must be happy.
Finally, I had every item I needed! I ventured into the Dorgeshuun Mines, looking for the NPC to start the quest. Hmm... I didn't see him anywhere. What if... Nah... I better check just in case though.
Rats! I had forgotten to check to see what quests I needed to do before this one, and I was required to do two others... That sounded like a lot of work. It sounded like a lot of work for tomorrow. Yep, I was done for the day!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
Questing day today. Yessir, it was time to start collecting some Quest Points. First up on the platter was "Death to the Dorgeshuun". I didn't have all the items needed for it though, so I headed to the Grand Exchange and purchased everything I needed. Everything but one item. Two, actually. I needed to obtain two H.A.M. Shirts, and they didn't buy in the Grand Exchange. I even offered 100k for each one!
Hm, how to get those shirts... I decided to go to the H.A.M. hideout and start killing its members until I get them. I ventured in, and spotted a few other players pickpockting them. As I killed them, I told them that if they ever got a H.A.M. shirt, I would buy it from them. Somehow, right after I told them, one of the player managed to get one, and I bought it from him for 10k. A few minutes later, the same player got another, and I gave him 20k for it. Now to start the quest!
Quests tend to take me a while these days, now that I actually read the storylines. Death to the Dorgeshuun wasn't a bad quest story either; it was fun showing Zanik around Lumbridge. An hour or so later, I completed the quest! Next up was "Another Slice of H.A.M.".

I actually already had every item needed for this quest, so I started right away. This time, I could enter the city of Dorgesh-Kaan! Man, was it confusing. I spent at least five minutes trying to figure out how to enter the place, and another thirty minutes trying to find my way around. Eventually, I figured out that it was made up of many levels, all connected by ladders.
This quest was a bit longer, but I did eventually finish it. Now for the last one: Land of the Goblins. Thankfully, I had already obtained all the items needed for this one. The plot of the quest line was taking an interesting twist, and I was really getting into the story! I have to say though, I like these smaller storylines more than the big ones, such as the Mahjarat story. And, of course, I enjoy the Lunar stories the most.
I didn't get too far into the quest before I decided to log off. I had played a fair amount already, and it was time to do something else. Later, I went rock climbing and had an amazing time. I came back quite late though, which is why this is getting posted much later than normal
Thanks for reading!
Good night!
