Hi!
Today was the big day: Math Final Exam. I felt sick to my stomach as I walked into the test room. I had studied it hard though, so I should be fine... Right? We got our test papers and I looked at the first question. It was just what I expected: Questions we had never seen before, simply based off of concepts we already know. There were 58 questions in total, 26 being non-calculator. That section was the most difficult by far. Each question was far more difficult than anything I had previously encountered, and I spent upwards of five minutes on each question.
When I finally finished the exam, I had used the full three hours up! I had managed to figure out the majority of them though, and only had to guess on a few. Hours later, I came back to check on my mark. With the test included, I had managed to get a "B" in my math class! Normally, a "B" is something I'm not too proud of, but in this class, I was overjoyed. Boy, was I thankful that I hadn't dropped out of the class! I guess it just goes to show that perseverance really pays off.
When I got home, I logged on to Runescape. After disconnecting twice, I finally was able to maintain a connection. Much to my pleasure, the new Player Gallery was up! I love the Player Galleries; I've visited every gallery at least twice. It never ceases to amaze me how artistic and amazingly talented Runescape players are!
I started burning roots at the Jadinko Lair. With over 900,000xp until level 97 Firemaking, I had a ways to go! I chatted both in PM and in Mining Golds, and after a while, FireCapeFury asked if I could sell him an Uncut Ruby. Sure that I had one, I Home Teleported and ran to the Lumbridge bank.

Smith Revamp was there! Before I grabbed my Uncut Ruby, I traded him 106 Grimy Avantoes for 77 Prayer Potions. It was then that I realized I didn't actually have an Uncut Ruby... feihcreknaT ran in then, spamming an enormous greeting to me like he does every time he sees me. Maybe he would have an Uncut Ruby! I asked him, and luckily, he did. I traded him 6000gp for the gem. I logged off and back into a free-to-play world, where I met FireCapeFury outside. He gave me 50,000gp for the Uncut Ruby!
I ran into the Courtyard with him, where we started performing every emote in our repertoire. I always love walking about in free-to-play worlds. The place where every single player on Runescape began. Soon, I left and logged back into a member's server. I teleported back to the Jadinko Lair and started burning roots again. Instead of watching videos or studying while I did this though, I tried to give it my full attention (while chatting of course). What a difference! By the time I logged off, I had gained 710,000xp! Only 283,000xp until level 97!
I decided to see how well I was doing on Runetracker. Wow! I was ranked #12 today for Firemaking experience gains! For this week, I was ranked #45, and for all of January, I was ranked #84, with a monthly experience gain of 8.2m. Wow, that's a lot. Considering I'll be getting level 97 Firemaking tomorrow, I might actually be able to achieve level 99 within a week! I think I'll celebrate in Draynor Village... You're welcome to come if you'd like!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
No school today! That meant I could do some serious Firemaking! Unfortunately, the Citadel's build tick had just occurred, so it was time to start collecting resources. I Home Teleported, brought out my Clan Vexillum and teleported off to the Clan Camp, where I entered our Citadel. I started off by collecting my minions as usual, and after that, I ran to the Woodcutting plot, where I stayed for a while. The teleport still hasn't been fixed
I entered a Voice Chat with Zqy while I capped, and this made it much more enjoyable. A few hours later, I had finished capping, with a grand total of 2500 Timber. No Ugos wanted to duel me after I capped, so I Home Teleported and ran to the Duel Arena. There, I got out my dueling gear. When he came, I saw that he was a much higher level than me, with chaotics, Dragon Claws and an Elysian Spirit Shield... Boy, I was doomed.
The fights went just like you'd think they would. I got owned. However, I did manage to get his health down to the last quarter most of the time, so if he didn't have that Elysian Spirit Shield, I would have had him! We went through tons of fights, and although I was close multiple times, I only managed to kill him once. When I was certain that my kill/death ratio had been permanently scarred enough, I said good-bye. Those duels were quite fun; I liked trying to find a strategy to beat him!
And so I descended back into the Jadinko Lair, where after an hour, I achieved level 97 Firemaking!

I stayed there for a while until I entered another Voice Chat with Lion 0fJudah. We chatted for a while, and I, wanting an excuse to get out of the Jadinko Lair for a while, offered to lend Lion 0fJudah my Amulet of Fury, as he was at the Corporeal Beast with his clan. I met him outside the chamber a few minutes later and loaned him my Amulet of Fury for two hours.
Back into the Jadinko Lair I went. I entered quite a few Voice Chats, including one with Lilmk and one with both Lion 0fJudah and Thorran. These Voice Chats were great! They kept me really entertained while I burned my roots, and I never got bored once. Time went on, and I realized that I had gained a ton of experience... I kept going, eager to gain more!
Yep, I was there for a long, long time. By the time I logged off hours later, I had gained more experience in one day than any other day. In today alone, I gained a massive 1,124,429 Firemaking experience! That got me to be ranked #10 today! If I can keep getting over one million experience in one day, I could get level 99 by Sunday! I won't get it this weekend though; I'll give a few days warning.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

I logged on at the Jadinko Lair as usual. I was only 283,000xp away from level 98 Firemaking! I went away at it, while chatting with Zqy in Voice Chat. Unfortunately, he is nine hours ahead of me, so even though is was afternoon for me, it was late in the evening for him. I did manage to achieve level 98 Firemaking before he left though!
After a while, I Home Teleported to Lumbridge, where I invited bmagz to Mining Golds! I headed back to the Jadinko Lair right after, eager to get some more experience. That little community I've mentioned before was starting to form at the lair! There were the usual Firemakers, and then the usual Slayers who happened to get a Jadinko task all the time. I had a lot of fun; one player, who was very bored of killing Jadinkos, was trying to Smite them out for their Vine Whip. I ran under neath it, flashing prayers to create the illusion that the monster was doing it. You know we're bored when we find that amusing!
I was there for a really long time, gaining tons of experience. A long time later, I invited Africans to Mining Golds! I travelled back to the Jadinko Lair immediately after. When I logged off an hour later, I had gained 913,000xp in Firemaking! Now that I am absolutely sure that I will b getting 99 Firemaking, I'd like to invite everyone to my 99 Firemaking party!
Like my Mining party, it will take place on a weekend on a free-to-play server. Then, once I gain the level, we will hop to a member's server and teleport to Ardougne, and claim the cape. There, I'll also be hosting my first drop party! I hope you can make it!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I didn't get to play too much today, as I had relatives over and went rock climbing. I did gain a ton of Firemaking experience though! I think the Jadinko Lair knew I was getting close to level 99, and was trying to impede on my progress. Every vine I ran to switched to the straightened version, and I wasn't cutting them nearly as fast. After getting 200,000xp, Lilmk asked me to be a part of his Runescape video! He needed me to perform the Mining Skillcape emote in the Living Rock Caverns, so I headed over with the outfit he wanted me in.
In there, I stood on the exact spot and performed the Mining Skillcape emote over and over, until he told me to stop. After that, I logged off for a few hours.
When I came back, I returned to the Jadinko Lair where I continued Firemaking. Man, this last 300,000xp was slow! I didn't remember Mining being like this! I was down there for so long, until finally, I was only 1,600xp away from level 99. I Home Teleported, and then teleported to the Grand Exchange, where I met some Mining Golds members.
While I chatted with them, I lit Yew Logs until I was a mere 29xp from level 99 Firemaking. I was wearing my Mining Cape, and somehow (not sure how this happened) we all formed a line and started doing the Mining emote in synch. This was the first time I had ever been a part of a skillcape line, and I remember looking at them longingly a year ago. And here I was now, being a part of one. As we were doing the emotes, I suddenly remembered that I had Loyalty Points to spend!
I ran to Xuan, already knowing what I was going to buy. Tornado time! I also bought Golf Clap, as it was on sale.

I tried out both of the emotes back at the Grand Exchange, and I think I actually liked Golf Clap more than Tornado! It was a slow clap, the sort of clap you might use when someone you know has just done something incredibly irrational.
I've got a plan for my Loyalty Points: Next emote is Disappear, and after that, I'll start working on the 6,000 point ones! With my goal of 99 Firemaking pretty much complete, it was time to buy the supplies for getting 96 Herblore on Bonus Experience Weekend, before prices rose too much. Lion 0fJudah had already calculated for me that I would need to buy 100,000 Tarromin (Unf) and 100,000 Ashes to do it. This was going to hurt the bank...
I put in the offers, and 70m later, my cashpile was back down to 54m. I could literally hear my bank crying. And then, a sudden panic attack came. Did I buy the right ingredients? I looked it up on Runescape Wiki, and doubt clouded my mind. Oh man, that would be awful... But when I asked in Mining Golds, I had indeed bought the right ingredients for Serum 207. Phew! I guess I'll need to do some serious camping at Frost Dragons. From what Zqy has told me, they sound awesome!

Hi!
I logged on today, unsure what to do. I wanted to go Dungeoneering to work on getting that Chaotic Rapier, but I didn't want to risk getting 99 Firemaking prematurely. I knew J ame S was training Woodcutting with Arctic Pines, so I decided to give those a try. Who knows, maybe Woodcutting would be the next skill I would fall in love with! Long story short, it wasn't. I had forgotten all about the boredom of standing at a tree for a few minutes. Unlike the sheer raw thrill of Mining and Firemaking, Woodcutting was pretty dull.
This was when I stumbled upon Zqy's comment. It made a lot of sense, and I decided to do it. I cancelled my order for Serum 207 ingredients, and started number crunching, trying to figure out how many potions I would need. By the time I was done, I was a complete mess. I had no idea what I was doing, and I started realizing that I needed some serious help with this. Lilmk tried to help me, but I was so confused and lost that I gave up. So here I am now, asking you for help. I'd like to get exactly level 96 Herblore, without spending too much, but being time-effective as well. Here's what I have so far:
-1384 Avantoe
-1000 Super Attack
-1000 Super Defence
-1000 Super Strength
-1000 Magic Potion
-51,414 Tarromin (Unf.)
-53,563 Ashes
Help me! What do I sell? What do I buy? I currently have 369,131xp in Herblore. I would love a simple answer of what to do. I am so confused with all these potions now! If you can help me out, thank you very much!
Thanks for reading, and good night

Hi!
Today's my birthday! I already had my "celebration" on Sunday though, so I had absolutely nothing to do today. That meant I could start on some Herblore! I had decided my method, so I was all set to go. I logged in and tried to sell my Serum 207 supplies. Then, I looked up how many Attack Potions I would need to make until I reached level 84. I would need to make 103,290... I best get started!
Before I could buy my supplies though, Joshyway came by to wish me a happy birthday. As a gift, he bought me exactly enough gems to get me a Crafting level! Thanks Josh!
I bought some supplies and started in on the daunting task. I was in a Voice Chat with LiquidAbyss too, so that made it not quite as boring. But man, making Attack Potions sure was slow experience... Like REALLY slow. I had heard somewhere that making Attack Potions could yield up to 60,000xp/hour, but I was really starting to doubt that. Ages later, I had gained one level. One level! At this rate, I would have level 84 by October! Well there was no way this was going to happen. I needed to get there by March!
I gave up on Attack Potions. I sold all the supplies I had bought for it and decided to go for Energy Potions. They were quite a bit faster than Attack Potions, and not insanely expensive. I sat down and started making potions. I had some weird deja vu of when I was training Fletching last year. Looking around at the conversations surrounding me, I could really get a good picture of what the Runescape community was like. With the new Troll Baby, it was fun to see what sort of items players were willing to forfeit just to name the pet.
There were some pretty basic names, like "Dragon Dagger (p++)" and "Meat Tenderizer". Others though, were a little more shocking. I first saw "Abyssal Whip", and thought that was bad. Next, I saw "Staff of Light"! An our or so later though, I saw one that really topped everything else. This Baby Troll was named "Easter Egg".

Despite the experience flying by, things still seemed to go by slowly. It was difficult imagining that this was at least five times faster than the Mining experience or Runecrafting experience I was getting at this level. I got those skills pretty high, so I could do it to this too!
A while later, the Sandwich Lady abducted me. "Take a Bread Roll!" she said. If only I knew what a Bread Roll was... I saw a sandwich, a baguette, and a triangle sandwich... None of those were a bread roll, so what could it possibly be? I guess us Canadians don't eat these "Bread Rolls"
I decided to click the baguette, and sure enough, I was wrong. As a punishment, I was teleported to the Mill in Lumbridge. I Home Teleported to Burthorpe and declined the tutorial offer. I could figure it out later! I ran south to Taverly, amazed at the extreme renovation. There was a river cutting Taverly in half now! That pretty much destroyed my Summoning route...
I got to the new bank and teleported to Varrock, where I got one last level before I logged off. I ended up gaining 179,000xp today, which resulted in me achieving level 67 Herblore! I sure hope that I'll be able to get to 84 Herblore by March, and that I'll have enough money to buy all my supplies!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!
