Hi!
Before I start, I forgot to mention that I saw a player named "Molten" yesterday. I have no idea who he is, but a ton of people were following him and spamming, so I think he may have been famous!
I logged on today, hoping against hope that my Red H'ween Mask had sold. Nope... It still hadn't. Even worse, it had gone down in price!
PANIC TIME.
Yeah, I panicked. I sold it instantly, and lost about 5m in the process. That beeaan guy sure knew what he was doing... I made a big purchase today! I finally bought myself my very own pair of Dragon Claws! Now I won't have to be the only person going to a Bandos Mass without a pair! I started training some Herblore, and started doing a bit of flipping. My rare item merching days were over just as soon as they had started, so I moved on to less expensive items. They were actually going quite well, and I was making a decent profit!
I was minding my own business when HadestheHoly asked in the Mining Golds clan chat if he could borrow some Dragon Claws. Well, I just happened to have a pair! At the same moment though**** DrDeath14 asked to borrow them too. First come first serve! It was a race to the Grand Exchange fountain, and HadestheHoly was the victor! I loaned him my new Dragon Claws for six hours**** DrDeath14 was still clawless though... I ran to the Grand Exchange real quick and bought a pair of Dragon Claws. Then, I traded them to him for 16m in fish as collateral.
Back to Herblore... I trained that for a long time, and with only 90 potions left to make, I achieved level 79 Herblore! I bought more supplies, this time buying every item I needed for level 84 Herblore.

I started in on them, hoping to make at least a dent in the amount of potions I needed to make. In the meantime, I worked on my Learn-at-Home French Course I was taking. I was required to use Rosetta Stone for it, and man, was it boring! Because you are able to redo the activities, it's possible to get 100% in the course. So, I would redo every activity until I got 100% in it. Talk about time consuming...
It was good though; It really made the time fly by! I made tons of potions, and continued to flip items. A while later, I noticed a player named Sal III. I recognized that name... He was a Slayer in the Jadinko Lair! I walked over to him and greeted him. e recognized me right away, and congratulated me on my Firemaking Cape! (I was wearing it). He was wearing a Slayer Cape too, so I congratulated him on it! Looked like both of us achieved our goals!
Hours later, I finished making 3000 Energy Potions, and in the process, I achieved level 80 Herblore. Phew! I have under one million experience to go until I get to level 84 Herblore... I can do it! Until then, I'm stuck with making thousands and thousands of Energy Potions. Before I logged off, I met with Mg DrDeath14, and traded him his fish back in return for my Dragon Claws, which I promptly sold back.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
Well, I recently got hired at my rock climbing gym that I go to! Nothing else to say about that... Just had to let someone know!
Anyways, when I logged on, I started my Herblore. With 13,000 potions to make, this could take a while. I chatted with Itoku, who sticking with tradition, changed his name once again. This time, it was to "Zealum". I one wanted to change my name a long time ago... To something without numbers, something that sounded real cool. But Grimwold2 grew on me, and as more and more people came to know me by it, I discovered I didn't have the heart to change it, nor did I want to.
I made my potions, while surveying the usual bank scene. There were the usual characters: The chatters, the overly nice people, the beggers, the skillers and the scammer. I watched things go on for a while, when all of a sudden, coins started appearing everywhere! I ran about, snatching up coins where I could. They were in 10k piles, and I managed to get about five of them.
****** DrDeath14 borrowed my Dragon Claws again, a while later. This time, it was for 24 hours! Now that I have Dragon Claws, I was thinking of opening a lending store... That was something I had wanted to do for a long time, ever since I got my first Bandos Chestplate.
I continued to make my potions, ignoring the extremely lengthy topic in my clan chat regarding the NPC killing glitch. My mind wandered to boxing, where I have heard of people making billions, or of people losing the shirt off their back. Of course, I should probably wait until after all this glitch fiasco is over with... But still, I think I'd like to try boxing, perhaps with only 5m.
I went on with my Herblore training, crossing the 2,000,000xp mark. Eventually, my Banker died! I sat there and waited a while, grabbing a Beer and Kebab from the Drunken Dwarf as it sauntered by. My Banker eventually respawned, and I continued with my training.

(^I give up trying to fix the asterisk problem up there...)
No Ugos came by a while later, and I assisted with with an Ancient Effigy, gaining 20,000 Fletching experience in the process!
While I trained my Herblore, I had the pleasant treat to listen to players complain about how awful Runescape is, and how horrible Jagex is at fixing bugs. I'm not too sure why, but this really annoyed me! These people have no idea how easy or difficult it is to fix a bug... They just say it to sound like the are knowledgeable. And to complain about how much they hate Runescape... Why are they still playing it?
Anyways, that's my first and last rant ever. Felt good to get that off the chest!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I logged on today at the Grand Exchange. Yes, it was that time again... Capping time! I headed on over to the Citadel, where I learned that out Quartermaster, who had been killed with the NPC Killing glitch, didn't seem to have a respawn timer...
I started out at the Obelisk, slowly gathering my minions. From there, I headed over to the Woodcutting plot. I cut roots for a little while, and I was kept company by Lion 0fJudah in a Voice Chat. When I finally hit 1000 resources, I was all done. I needed a break! I left for the Grand Exchange, and tended to some items.
Herblore time! I still had over 11,000 potions to make, and I had to do it before March! I started making the potions, and watched the Grand Exchange scene. At one point, a player asked me to transfer money to his main account. When I told him it was against the rules, he completely lost it, calling me names and eventually logging out...
While I Herblorized (it's a word, believe me), I lent out my Bandos Chestplate to a clanmate's friend and assisted Agile Ghost with his Ancient Effigy. To keep myself occupied, I made an account on Reddit! I had always wanted to try it, and now that I made one, I'll have tons of things to do when it comes to skills like Fishing!
By the time I logged out, I had achieved level 81 Herblore! Now I can make Saradomin Brews! Hm, didn't think that would ever actually happen... Cool!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
Time to get the Herblore on. Man, I wanted to get level 84 so bad... I wanted nothing more than to be able to get a Chaotic Rapier and go kill Frost Dragons. But I also really wanted to get all these Energy Potions out of the way... And as I made the potions, I had the horrible realization that I would have to make nearly 10,000 potions on the Bonus Experience Weekend. Fun fun fun!
I browsed Reddit for a while, before logging off for a bit. I had this little bet with my friends you see, that I couldn't eat the city's spiciest food. Well today I was going to show them! We drove to the small shop that served it. There, I was served the legendary "Nitro Wrap". Dripping with Habanero sauce, I lickeda tiny portion of the so called "Hell Sauce". Fiery explosions ravaged my tongue. This was going to be a rough ride.
"Rough Ride" wasn't even the half of it. Every bite was actually painful, and my lips felt like they were pressed against a hot iron. I had to take a break halfway through. My body simply couldn't go on... My eyes were teary, and my tongue felt like nuclear explosions were going off simultaneously. After consuming a litre of milk (yes, a litre of milk), I started in on the second half.
From the first bite, the fiery pain came back in full force. I buckled down and continued eating it. The sunflower sprouts in the wrap were the worst part; they were drenched in the sauce, and I was forced to eat them. I slowly made my way through it, each bite a torment. Finally, I had finished it, and I became the twelfth person in my city to have ever finished it. It only took two litres of milk to douse the intense pain. My stomach was wrecked for the rest of the day, too...

I went back to Herblore, and continued to browse Reddit. It was then that I made an incredible discovery! There were rock climbing and Runescape sub-reddits! I checked them out, and was grateful to see that they were just as awesome as I was hoping for.
On the Runescape sub-reddit, happened to notice a post by an Ex-Runescaper, who was returning to the game after many years of not playing. Unfortunately, he didn't have any friends on the game, so I decided to PM Raging Wolf and ask him how things were going. I added him in Runescape and started talking with him. He was incredibly nice, and I could tell right away that we were meant to be friends. He's still trying to find his way about though; Feel free to chat to him and give him a big Runescape welcome!
That was all I did for today! I'm now 86% to level 84 Herblore, and I managed to achieve level 82 today! Hopefully tomorrow, I can get to level 84!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

I logged on at the Grand Exchange. Today was the day! I was going to finally achieve level 84 Herblore! I still had a ton of potions to make though, so I got started. It was slow progress. Time always seems to slow when you start nearing a goal, and this effect was really amplified with the intensive clicking that was to be done.
It wasn't long until I had achieved level 83 Herblore! One more to go! There were about 4000 potions to be made... This was going to be tedious. I swished those Chocolate Dusts into those potions, making the Energy Potions as fast as humanly possible. I loaned out my Dragon Claws to a clanmate for free again as I trained. I should really start charging for loaning my Dragon Claws out... Not to friends and clanmates of course.
Gah... Herblore had never felt this tedious before. Time really did seem to slow down, and the progress circle for Herblore wasn't very encouraging. I plowed onward though, slowly making potions. After a few hours of non-stop Herblorizing, the stack of unfinished potions diminished. Another hour later of hard, physical manual finger labour, I finally reached my goal of achieving level 84 Herblore. Finally!!
Phew... No more Herblore for me for a while! Now I could focus on getting a Chaotic Rapier and killing Frost Dragons! Before I started with that though, I had some other business to attend to... Capping.
I teleported to the Clan Citadel and started chopping some Timber. When I reached 1700 resources, I logged out and went rock climbing. When I came back, I noticed that we were actually over our goal of timber. So I went to the Mining pit, where I finished capping. Tomorrow the journey to the Frost Dragons begins!

Hiya!
Well, yesterday I had realized that I had forgotten to buy the tertiary ingredients for my Extreme Magic Potions, so I had put an offer in the Grand Exchange for them. Today, they had bought! I needed 600 Ground Mud Runes, and because they were untradeable, I had to buy 600 Mud Runes and then grind them by hand. So I started out the day with that, sitting at the Daemonheim bank and grinding Mud Runes to pulp.
After I had finished with that, I could start my Dungeoneering! I only had floors 34, 35 and 37 left until I had to reset, so I PMed Zealum to see if he was up to a few a dungeons. Back in the day, he and I used to dungeoneer all the time. Time to get back into that!
He came to my world, and we got started on floor 34. I was keying as usual, and Zealum would clear rooms and clear puzzles. Zealum and I were the perfect team. He would always know exactly what needed to be done, even without me saying anything. The floor went by fast, and we then started in on floor 35.
That floor went by pretty fast too, and we left the party. Zealum thought he would have to leave after floor 35, but it seemed that he actually still had some time left! So we entered floor 37, an Occult floor. I died twice on this floor... Once was due to some pretty unfortunate events... I was trying to cut open a Door, when I failed and was hit a 300. At the exact same moment, an Animated Book hit me for a 300, and the other monsters all hit me at the same time. Next thing I knew, I was dead.
Zealum always had a way with cooling the Dungeoneering Rage. It's part of the reason we're such a good team! He never seems to get frustrated
The last death was right when the boss, a Runebound Behemoth was dying. We finished the dungeon, and I logged off after saying good-bye. 10% to level 85!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
After working at my rock climbing gym, I came home and went online. Dunegoneering time! I had some nice relaxing music to soothe the inevitable Dungeoneering Rage (which can't be healthy), so I was all set. I reset my progress and started doing some of the Frozen Floors to get my Prestige up. After I had completed six floors, a player decided to host a free leech floor. I joined his party and entered the floor, floor 29.
I had most of the levels required to open the doors anyways, so I didn't actually end up leeching. I decided I would host a free leech of floors 27 and 28. I got everyone to join my party, but just as we were about to start, they suggested I do a large. Soloing a large could be difficult... But I decided to give it a go anyways. Besides, how bad could it be?
REAL BAD. I will never again host a free leech large floor. Ever. It was the slowest dungeon I can ever remember doing, partly due to the extreme abundance of Guardian Doors. Nearly every door was a Guardian Door, and because there was a level 135 in the party, each room took ages. The frustration was intense, and with Dungeoneering Rage on the rise, I had to actually breathe in and breathe out, up the volume to my music and grind on. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts...
It took over an hour and a half to solo that floor, and every moment of it was frustrating. Especially the boss, a Nightgazer-Khigorak. The torches would extinguish themselves every few seconds, so I had to camp out at one torch and light it as soon as possible, then try and get a hit in.
"Relief" doesn't describe how happy I was when that floor was finally over. I didn't even care about experience; I wanted out. I got about 16,000xp... And not a single "Thank-you" from the people who leeched off of me.
Never again... Thanks for reading!
Good night!
