I logged back on a few hours later and attempted to do a quick Medium sized Abandoned II floor... It didn't go too well. The keys were incredibly spread apart, and after searching for a key that didn't exist for ten minutes, I gave up.
Then, a player named "ikRangeu" wanted some Hunter advice. After telling him that catching Copper Longtails was his best option, he asked me to guide him to them. He couldn't teleport to Ardougne, nor could he teleport to the Grand Tree. Looked like we'd be walking. He was at Castle Wars, so I began the long escort to the Hunting area.
We ran past Ardougne and the Tree Gnome Stronghold, slowly making our way to the hunting area. He had been hacked, so I gave him 100k to help him out. When we finally made it to the hunting area, ikRangeu started setting up his Snares. He thanked me, and I teleported back to Daemonheim.

Good night!

Hiya!
I logged on today, ready to help Zealum get that Shadow Silk Hood! I met with him at Daemonheim and we got going. Apparently, Night Spiders are most common in Abandoned II floors, so we started doing some medium floors starting on floor 30. The floors went by smoothly, and for a while, we didn't see a single Night Spider! A few floors later. we still hadn't seen a Night Spider...
In the middle of a battle of Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan, Zealum mysteriously logged out... He had been lagging pretty bad throughout the floor though, so I figured he must have disconnected. I finished off the boss and waited for him to log back in. He didn't come. I waited there for a long time, browsing the forums while I waited. About fifteen minutes later, Zealum finally logged back on, this time on a different computer. We finished the dungeon and Zealum got his experience!
We went through a bunch of floors, and still, we hadn't seen a single Night Spider. I eventually looked it up, and discovered that Night Spiders are most commonly found on large floors... Well, Zealum had to leave soon, so we did one more floor and then called it off. We hadn't seen a single Night Spider in about seven medium floors... More than a little discouraging.
I joined in on a floor with Vus, Pachocus, NiceName312, l Draconic l and Pachocus' friend. The floor was great; NiceName312 and l Draconic l were both very experienced, and with their expertise, the floor went by fast and efficiently.
After, we decided to do another floor. l Draconic l had left, so we found a new party member. Vus keyed this time, and although the floor was a bit tougher to key, we finished it in decent time. From this floor, I achieved level 84 Dungeoneering!

I had now completed floor 42, so I rushed the last of my Furnished floors. Now for the last floor, Floor 30. I decided to do a Medium, so I got started. Halfway in, I encountered the Ferret Puzzle, in which the player must set traps to catch the ferret.
I tried to set traps, but the tree in the room only gave me three branches... So I was stuck with running around like a mad man, trying to catch this ferret. It was a little funny at first, but as time went on, I started getting a little frustrated. I would have thought that my traps would catch the ferret, but somehow, the sneaky animal kept managing to run right through them!
After fifteen minutes had dragged by, the situation had lost all humour it could have possibly had. I tried a few more times and then simply quit the dungeon. I could feel the Dungeoneering Rage seeping into my Field of Vision, and if I wanted to work on getting that last Dungeoneering level, I would have to make sure my blood wasn't boiling before I did it.
After I had calmed down a bit, I attempted it again. It went a lot smoother; I finished it easily. I reset my progress and started in on rushing some low floors. After I had completed floor seven, I figured that was enough Dungeoneering for one day. Before I logged out, I checked to see how many tokens I had. 17,000 already! I wasn't really sure what I should get next... Arcane Stream Necklace or Chaotic Crossbow?

Hi!
To answer the question I asked myself yesterday, I decided I was going to buy an Arcane Stream Necklace before my Chaotic Crossbow. At Daemonheim, I started in on the massive task of rushing through all my low floors. It wasn't going to be fun, but it had to get done. I still had a few Frozen floors to do, so I got started.
On every floor, the boss was either Plane-Freezer Lahkranaz or a Luminescent Icefiend. I only had to deal with them for about five floors though, so it wasn't too bad. When I reached the Abandoned Floors, it was like hitting a wall of relief. No more annoying bosses, no more eye-sore blue walls. I only did a floor or two of those when I was invited to join a party for a large Occult.
The floor was a complete mess. Two party members continued to complain about dying, and after we had searched for a "missing" key for fifteen minutes, we found out that one of our teammates hadn't noticed us calling for a 78 Prayer door. Halfway into the floor, everyone left. Reluctantly, I had no choice but to leave.
Outside, we made a new party, this time without the death-complainers. The player who had failed to see our repeated calls joined again. We entered another Occult floor, and this time, Vus keyed. Halfway through the floor, I was minding my own business when I killed a Night Spider. To my extreme surprise, a Shadow Silk Hood dropped! Unfortunately, not a single player in our party was unhooded... Man, I sure wished Zealum was with us... The guilt for not doing anything with the rare drop was immense.
The boss to this floor was a Skeletal Trio; my new least favourite boss. I died twice on it, and one of our teammates (the one who didn't read our calls) didn't want to enter without Prayer.

Continued.

After finally coaxing him into coming without Prayer, he finally came to help. When we finally finished the floor, I got a whopping 62,000xp! Right after, we started a new floor, but this time, Tankerchief was keying, and Zealum joined us. We were doing an Abandoned II, so hopefully Zealum would manage to get a Shadow Silk Hood!
The floor went by decently fast, and I only died on the boss, a Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan. Zealum didn't get a Shadow Silk Hood... I know he will some time though! I did a few more rushes before I had to log off for the day. I'm only 151k away from 85 Dungeoneering; 151k away from Frost Dragons! I've been told that they're nowhere near as good as I think they are, but I still think they'll be great. Only problem is, I don't know how to use a cannon...
The worst thing happened to me today! I was going to try the Tim Tang Test again, and when I tried to log in, I discovered that I had forgotten my log-in details! All that hard work... Gone. Man, I sure hope I can manage to get back to where I was. It was hard work!

Hi!
Well this was a bit of a nasty surprise... My blog had been in the General forum for nearly a year, and a Forum Moderator just decided to move it now? I've asked Jagex to think about moving it back, so we'll see what happens. Of course, I do respect the decision that Steph FTW made; it's her duty as a moderator, and I don't have anything against her for it. But if any passing Moderator is reading this, please move me back to General forum!
Anyways, I didn't have too much time to play Runescape today... I was having an exceedingly strong day rock climbing! As I've mentioned before, the grading system of difficulty is labelled in "V"s, as in V1, V4, etc. Well my limit is about V8, but today, I onsighted a V7! An "onsight" is when you do the route first try, without help frm anyone. I was a little excited about that

Now you'll know more about rock climbing than you'll ever need to know!
I was going to go dungeoneering with Vus today, but after searching for a party for a while, I gave up. Instead, Vus and I duoed a few medium dungeons. I was the keyer, and we were going fairly fast; not as fast as Zealum and I of course. After Vus and I had been thoroughly owned by Bal'Lak the Pummeller, it was time to go.
A few hours later, I logged back on and checked how many tokens I had. 30,419! That was so close to an Arcane Stream Necklace... Only 81 tokens away! I did a few C1 rushes out of the way, trying to get those last tokens. Two floors later, I purchased my very own Arcane Stream Necklace! Apparently, this is the best necklace for Magic, so I hope it delivers!
That was all for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
I didn't have any time to play Runescape today
I had three hours of work, six hours of school and an hour of homework. Not fun... However, I HAD to log on to catch up with some friends. While I talked and typed (this) I soloed some quick C1 rushes. Would you guess what happened? Zealum got a Shadow Silk Hood while duoing a medium floor with a clanmate! Boy, was I happy for him! He had wanted one of those for so long, and it was about time he got one!
That was all I had time for today... A little annoying considering I'm 121,000xp from 85 Dungeoneering and 26,000xp away from 92 Attack. Hopefully I'll have more timeon the weekend to play! If I'm lucky, I'll get 85 Dungeoneering and start my journey with Frost Dragons!
I also wrote a short story (if you can call it that) in the Stories forum if you'd like to read it, or if you have some spare time. Tell me what I can improve upon!

Hi!
Again, not too much time to play Runescape today... I did go through several medium duos with Zealum though, slowly trying to gain some experience. Out of the three floors we did, the first two bosses were Bal'lak the Pummeller, and the last boss was the dreaded Skeletal Trio. Man, I hate those guys! They all seem to target me at once, and I die so fast!
After we were done those, I got a few rushes out of the way. Only 75,000xp until I can go to Frost Dragons! The change in scenery will sure be appreciated! Tomorrow I'm sure I'll achieve level 85 Dungeoneering!
Good night!

Hiya!
58,000xp to go until I unlocked Frost Dragons... After solving a mild internet porblem due to a power outage, I logged onto Runescape. Before I started really doing some floors, I finally finished up my C1 rush floors. I only needed 57,000xp, so I started soloing some medium floors. On my third floor, the boss was the dreaded Skeletal Trio... After dying to them four times in a row without dealing too much damage, I exited the dungeon. I could feel some Dungeoneering Rage coming on...
Luckily, Lion 0fJudah and Zqy offered to do a large floor with me to help me get that goal of 85 Dungeoneering! I invited Mr Gold Ore to come along with us, and he keyed the dungeon. We entered an Occult floor, and after we finished off the boss, (A Runebound Behemoth), I got my experience: 51,000xp! I was only 6,000xp away!
Lion 0fJudah, Zqy and I entered a medium sized Occult floor next, and Lion 0fJudah and I waited while Zqy soloed the Necrolord boss. We finished the floor, and I finally achieved level 85 Dungeoneering! Finally!!!
All those floors, all that time trying to get teams... It's all over! Now, I just had to try and get some gear that would make the killing of Frost Dragons better... I had two items on my list: Enhanced Excalibur and the Ardougne Cloak 3. Little did I know the horrors that would befall me on my quest to get these two items...
I had decided to go for the Enhanced Excalibur first. The Elite Enhanced Excalibur was within my sight, but the only requirement I didn't have for it was 92 Herblore.
So the journey to obtaining an Enhanced Excalibur began. I had TONS of tasks to do... I brought up a full guide on how to do them on got started.

I learned all sorts of things from the tasks... Such as how slow fishing Sharks are, and how rare it is to catch a Bass. Then came the "Charge 5 Water Orbs" task. Now this one gave me some real grief.
During first time travelling to the Water Obelisk via the Taverly Dungeon, I had forgotten a Dusty Key as usual, so after getting one of those, I ran past the Blue Dragons, where a level 40 player sat ranging them. We talked for a minute or so before I left. When I finally made it to the Water Obelisk, I found that I couldn't use the Uncharged Orbs on it! Apparently, I needed to do a spell called "Charge Orb". I grappled my way over to Catherby and got the necessary runes. On my way back, I used a Summer Pie to take the shortcut to the Blue Dragons. The level 40 player was still there, ranging away. His name was Razad. He was very nice, and because he was killing them so slowly and was only getting 88,000gp per inventory, I gave him 100k.
When I got to the Water Obelisk, I got another nasty surprise... I had brought the wrong runes! I grappled over again, and got the correct ones. For the third time, I went back to the dungeon, ran past Razad (who thought it was really funny that I kept failing) and FINALLY charged the orbs.
Shortly after, I discovered that I had to complete the quest "Scorpion Catcher"... A quest that I started years ago but never actually finished. Part of the quest required me to run buy Razad again, for the fourth time! I said my final farewell, certain I would never see him again.
I soon finished the quest and finished up the rest of the Seer's Village tasks. Finally, after hours of work, the Seer's Headband 3 and the Enhanced Excalibur! One item left: The Ardougne Cloak 3. I had even more tasks left to do in the Ardougne set, so I got to work.
