Hiya!
Before I went rock climbing, I had to get some dungeons done! I still had to get my rushing over with, so I started off with those. Even on a Complexity 1 small floor, the floors still took a while, mostly because of the annoying bosses, like the Plane-Freezer Lahkranaz. I only went through two floors before I exited Daemonheim. Outside, I noticed a bunch of players with cool names! "Rising Fears", "Juicy" and "Zamorak Page" were among them. I complimented them on their names, and we talked a bit. They were about to go dungeoneering, and they wanted me to come along! They were going to be doing a Large Floor 33, so I couldn't pass it up. Especially because Zamorak Page had 120 Dungeoneering!
We started the dungeon, and I could tell right away it was going to be enjoyable. I got my fair share of food, along with Rune Essence, and Zamorak Page started keying immediately. Rising Fears was my fellow Guardian Door clearer, and Juicy and the others were skillers.
As it turned out, Zamorak Page was suicide keying, meaning that the floor went by extremely fast. It was the smoothest dungeon I have ever been in, by far. Probably due to the fact that they were all on Skype too. When the dungeon finished, I achieved level 81 Dungeoneering, unlocking floor 41!
To my extreme pleasure, this dream party wanted me to join them on some other floors because they thought I was good at Dungeoneering! I joined them in two more floors, floors 34 and 35. These floors were incredibly fast too, both finishing in about 20 minutes. Their clan was called "Elites"... Which I found out later, by complete and utter coincidence, was the clan Zealum was in! Even better, Zamorak Page added me for future parties!

When I came back from rock climbing, I didn't have too much time to play Runescape... But with the new Carnival event coming out, I figured I had better get the new headdress from Diango. I teleported over there and got my new hat! I teleported back to Daemonheim then, and chatted for a while.
Tomorrow, I probably won't have too much time to play Runescape, but I know the weekend will be Dungeoneering insanity! I hope to get at least level 83 over the weekend!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
As predicted, I had absolutely no time at all to play Runescape today. School, work and rock climbing took up the entire day! The weekend will be different for sure though; lots of dungeoneering to be had! If anyone is interested in Dungeoneering with me, feel free to PM me!
Good night!

Hi!
Ah, the weekend... A four-day weekend! Lots of Dungeoneering to be had! I started out with trying to find a party; a feat much harder than I remembered. I went to World 77 and looked around for a party. I eventually joined a party doing floor 39. It seemed like a pretty good party to start with, but after a while, I knew it wasn't going to work. One player kept picking up every piece of food before everyone else, despite the fact that he never actually did any of the fighting.
Our keyer seemed to forget that there was a "Run" option, and another member was constantly talking to us condescendingly. After a few rooms, we came across a puzzle room with bookcases. There were four bookcases, and the were each on a rotating plate. Flying books flew between them, and I sat there wondering what on earth it was. No one else in my party had ever seen it either, but the keyer seemed to figure it out, and she unlocked it.
The member who was constantly belittling us left eventually, and after the food-stealer continued to pretend not to hear your helpless pleas for food, I left too. I hunted around again for a party, and after not being able to find one for quite some time, I decided it was time to get some Mining Golds members in. Tankerchief was in, and I hunted around for some more people, and eventually Pachocus, Gifted Pixel and Hitby**us joined. We entered floor 35, and I entered a Voice Chat with Pachocus and Gifted Pixel.
Tankerchief was keying, and the floor went by decently fast. The boss was an Unholy Cursebearer, and for some reason, everyone was going in at separate times, unsure if anyone was ever going to follow them. It was pretty funny to watch actually; as soon as one person died, the next went in, died, and the next one filed in.

Eventually, we got ourselves sorted out, and we killed the boss. When we finished the floor, Tankerchief said that he was all done for today. I still had time for a floor... After the dungeon, I hosted my own dungeon, and Zealum took Tankerchief's spot. I was keying this time, and it was a pretty hard dungeon... At least I thought it was. The keys were incredibly spread apart, and the dungeon was riddled with death traps (rooms filled with 130+ monsters).
We eventually finished the dungeon, with lots of rooms left over... As it turned out, almost every key/door was behind a level 101 Construction door! After the dungeon, Zealum asked me how i was feeling. I've known him for so long that he must be able to see my emotions through the computer
I was simply a little frustrated and tired. Keying tends to get me that way So I joined a quick medium sized duo floor with Zealum to relax a bit. Zealum even keyed this time! It was a great dungeon; as usual, we worked together marvelously, even without talking. Tomorrow, I think I'll see if he wants to duo a bunch of floors... It would probably be better XP/hour than trying to find a team for a Large floor!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hiya!
When I logged on, I asked Zealum if he was ready for some extreme duo-ing madness! Unfortunately, he was attempting to complete the Fight Caves, so he wasn't ready just yet. In the mean time, I decided to get some rushes out of the way. I began rushing those low floors, the ones with the incredibly annoying bosses. You'd be surprised to see how often the Luminescent Icefiend appears!
After a while, I decided to get a team together to do a large floor. Lucky for me, one already being made! Tankerchief was getting a party together to do a medium floor, then a large Occult to get level 99 Dungeoneering. I joined their party and a player named Chezney keyed the medium floor. It only took us about 17 minutes to complete the medium floor, and after, we started the Large Occult. GRlFFY was keying this time, and the floor was going surprisingly fast. The boss was a Skeletal Trio however; the first one that I would actually have to fight.
Everyone else was already in there, so I stepped in with a Protect from Magic on. The melee warrior hit me for a 400, and the ranger swiveled on his spot and hit me for a 300. I was dead. I ran in again, this time with Protect from Missiles on. The mage struck me instead this time, dealing a 500, while the warrior hit a 400. Dead again. When I came back, I sat outside the boss room until one of the monsters had died. I wasn't going to be comboed like that again!
When the Mage died, I ran in, and barely survived as both the ranger and the warrior attacked me. I ate as much food as humanly possible though, and I lived! We finished the dungeon, everyone congratulating Tankerchief on 99 Dungeoneering. In the midst of the cheers, I achieved level 82 Dungeoneering!

As it turned out, Tankerchief didn't achieve level 99 Dungeoneering... He was 3000xp off! We all followed him to Dungeoneering Shop, where he bought his remaining XP. More congratulatory messages poured in as he wore his new Dungeoneering SkillCape! ExtremeGame wanted to go in a dungeon with me next, so I switched worlds and joine his party. A random player at Daemonheim joined our party and we entered a floor. A few rooms in, we ran into the Four-Way Crystal puzzle. I stood on my platform and waited for the others to get on theirs, but the random player that joined seemed to think I was an idiot for standing there...
Well, that was enough for me. I was already tired and hungry, frustrated and now irritated. I had to log off and take a break. I told ExtremeGame, and left the party.
An hour or so later, I was back on, feeling completely refreshed. Now it was time for... EPIC DUOING TIME!!
Yep, Zealum and I were going to be duoing every floor we could, just like back in the day! It was great! The floors were fast and fun, and I got to hang out with my best Runescape-buddy! We did tons of floors, and I actually achieved level 81 Smithing by opening a door! I had been using XP Lamps on it for months! When we hit the upper Occults, it was time to go. I said good-bye to Zealum and he logged off... After helping a player do a dungeon.
I took another break, and then came back to do another large floor. No Ugos, Vus, Tankerchief and Nomad Irl made up the new party, and Nomad Irl was the keyer. As it turned out, Nomad Irl was a really good keyer, and the floor was really fast! It was yet another Skeletal Trio though, so I hung back again until one of the monsters had been killed. The floor took only 34 minutes; pretty good! My compliments to Nomad Irl!
I had four floors left to do, so I quickly rushed them as a Complexity 1 Small dungeon. When I came back, Tankerchief and Nomad Irl had logged out, and Vus wasn't really into Dungeoneering.

So that left No Ugos and I. I had just reset my progress, so that gave us a perfect opportunity to do some rushing! No Ugos and I started from floor one and slowly made our way to floor 20. We both taught each other something; I showed No Ugos how to use a teammate as a Group Gatestone, and he showed me how to kill bosses easier! For example, I had no idea at all that magical attacks were so effective against the Bulwark Beast and the Rammernaut!
Each floor averaged about two minutes, so it took us about fifty minutes to rush through twenty floors. When that was all done, I thanked him for Dungeoneerin with me and I left the party.
Phew! That was a lot of Dungeoneering in one day! I currently have 180,000 tokens; almost there! In fact, I might just be able to get that tomorrow! It was getting pretty late, so I logged off for the night.
Thanks for reading!

Hi!
I had been trying for a while to log into Runescape, but I repeatedly got stuck with an "Error connecting to login server". So, I left it for a while. An hour later, I returned, and got a different error message. I stayed on though, browsing the forums and chatting away on Skype. A while later, I tried again, and it worked! I was finally online!
I was at Daemonheim when I logged in, and Tankerchief and Vus were there, talking. As soon as I logged in, they asked me to join a party with them to go Dungeoneering. Perfect! I joined their party and waited for some more players to join. After a little wait, we started Dungeoneering. Tankerchief, with his new flashy 99 Dungeoneering SkillCape, was keying, and I was having a blast. He dungeoneered just the way I liked it, and I was gating exactly the right doors. The floor went by in half an hour; that was great!
We did one more, and in that one, Zealum, who was with us, noticed he was the only one without a Shadow Silk Hood. He seemed a little upset about not having one, so I promised him that tomorrow, he and I were going to rush Abandoned II floors until he got one! We finished that floor, and I achieved level 83 Dungeoneering! The party members were taking a break, so I took a break too and logged off for a while.
When I logged back on, Tankerchief was still there! We made another party, and soon, we were back in Daemonheim. This floor was a little odd. We came across the boss, a Gravecreeper (the ONLY boss I ever see in Occults...), at the very beginning of the floor, and unfortunately, everything else was blocked by a 80 Farming Door.

This was going to be close. I needed about 3,000 tokens to get a Chaotic Rapier, and if I didn't get 30,000xp from this floor, I wasn't going to get it. And considering the floor was incredibly small, that might not happen. Tankerchief told me to not die, so I could preserve the precious experience I would need.
When we killed the boss, we ended the floor, and I prayed for 30,000xp. I didn't get that much experience, but it was close. 29,870. I had no idea if that was enough tokens, but I did know it was going to be close. I ran to the Dungeoneering Shop and looked at my tokens. I had 200,750! I bought my Chaotic Rapier, the item I had wanted for so long! Just wearing it made me love it right away. I looked just like one of those high-levelled slayers! ... Minus the armour of course.
Tankerchief wanted to do one more floor, so I joined his party. We started an Occult floor, but halfway through, our keyer Tankerchief left! This might be bad... I assumed the role of keyer, and started suicide keying. The floor was already turning into a mess. No one gated anything, and I found myself having to clear the odd Guardian Door my myself. When we finally came across the boss, a Gravecreeper of course, we decided to just kill it and end the floor.
The only problem was, two of the four members of the party didn't want to die, so they sat outside, leeching the kill while Vus and I killed the Gravecreeper slowly. I was getting a little frustrated now. I wasn't supposed to be keying in the first place, and now I had 12 deaths... I'm sure a couple wouldn't hurt them. But Vus and I plowed on, taking death after death. Finally, I dealt the killing blow and finally ended the floor.
I logged off for a while, and went rock climbing. Man, I was so happy to have a Chaotic Rapier! I've wanted a Chaotic Rapier since they were released, and to finally have one is simply another goal that I've finally fulfilled.
