There were still a few little thing I needed. I quickly bought 50 War Tortoise pouches, along with 2000 Sharks. Then, I ran to Ice Mountain and bought a Dwarf Multi-Cannon. Back at the Grand Exchange, I bought 5000 Cannonballs. This was going to be interesting. I've never used a cannon in my life, and I have no idea what to do. I asked around, so I had an idea of how to use it.
I switched my POH to Rimmington and then teleported there. I ran to the Frost Dragon dungeon and sat right outside, talking to a player named "All Materia". I threw question after question at him, about all sorts of things from cannon decay timers, length of super-antifire potions, defence, prayers, population of the dungeon... Anything you can think of to ask about Frost Dragons, I asked him. All Materia answered all of them nicely and without hesitation. Because of him, I think I'm ready for Frost Dragons.
Ah! I had forgotten my Enhanced Excalibur! I quickly teleported to the Fight Kiln with that handy-dandy new ring and then back to my POH, where I ran back to All Materia. I said good night to him and logged off.
Tomorrow, I will finally be able to start Frost Dragons! I'm really curious as to how fast of money it is, so I can't wait!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
Boy was I relieved when I saw the Bonus XP Weekend announcement! Unfortunately, it falls on a day I have driving lessons... Oh well, I should be able to pack in eight hours of Herblore nonetheless. 96 Herblore will happen!
Today, I finally got the first decent prize from the Squeal of Fortune! It wasn't much, but today's Small XP Lamp sure beat one Air Rune. I used it on Cooking for 3000xp. And now... *Epic drumroll*... It was time to kill some Frost Dragons. I wasn't quite sure what I was nervous about, but I knew that I was. I took a deep breath, drank a dose of Super Antifire, turned on my Protect from Mage and teleported in. A few people were already in this cavern, so I exited and hopped over to another world. Here, I was the only one!
I set up my cannon and and hesitantly began killing a Frost Dragon. I seriously underestimated a Dwarven Multicannon. These things were incredible! Sometimes annoying, but incredible. I got the hang of it really fast, and I was slaying Frost Dragons quite quickly. After a while, a ranger came in. He didn't have a cannon, and we chatted while we killed. Because this was my very first time being there, I had no idea what the best set-up would be. I had brought way too many Prayer Potions, that much was for sure.
After I had lost all my food, I teleported out and banked. I tweaked my inventory a bit, so I only brought three Prayer Potions and more Sharks. Back at the dragons, I came across the first Blue Orb of Death. Man, they were annoying. While I waited for it to go away, I would deposit bones in my War Tortoise or reload my cannon. Again, I had brought too many Prayer Potions...

I banked again, and tweaked my inventory again. This time, I brought two Prayer Potions, a Super Antifire Potion (4), a super set and a bunch of Sharks. This was it! I had found my best inventory! Now it was going great; Before I teleported to bank, I would have my War Tortoise full, and my inventory almost full of bones. It was perfect!
I could definitely see how it could get boring for some people. However, the constant chance of getting a Draconic Visage always kept me on my toes. Also, you had to keep an eye on that Blue Orb of Death.
In total, I killed Frost Dragons for about an hour and a half, probably a bit less. I had a lot of fun, and I think I'm going to do it some more! Mostly because in that hour and a half, I made 2.2m! It's crazy money! How come players don't camp these!?
If you're interested in killing Frost Dragons, but don't know how, check out Gross Gore's guide on Youtube. I found that it was the best guide for how to kill them.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Hi!
Well folks, things are looking grim for the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Education funding is low, and the teachers have gone on strike. So, that means I've got Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off! The strikes will continue to happen until the provincial government passes a bill that will prevent teachers from striking. But for now, I've got a five day weekend!
I logged on to Runescape and started on a Hard Clue Scroll I had received from the Frost Dragons yesterday. Halfway through it, J ame S wanted a Fletching assist. I met him at Falador and gained 30,000xp. I finished the Treasure Trail and earned a grand total of 19,000gp
Now, it was time for Pachocus' Duel Tourney! I geared up (no Dragon Claws this time) and headed over to the Duel Arena. Everyone else was there, and so the Duel Tourney was underway! I was last to fight in Round 1, and my opponent was a level 100 player in full rune. I felt a little bad fighting him, but he was going to have to fight a higher levelled player eventually in the tournament. I killed him easily.
In Round 2, I was to fight Mantismaniac. He wanted to use potions, so after a debate, we decided that he could use his Extreme potions and I would use a Super Set. He fought well, but I won in the end. Now it was just Pachocus his friend and I. I lost first to Pachocus (my bandos was no match for his new maxed melee) and then I lost to his friend. His friend insisted that I didn't use my Korasi Sword, so I had o try using my Dragon Claws.
After that, I left to do some Frost Dragons. After one trip, I had already received another Clue Scroll! But it was 12:00 GMT, and the Squeal of Fortune had just reset! I logged out and back in, eager to spin the wheel for my prize.

My luck was improving! My first spin got me 3 Law Runes, and by last spin got me a Medium XP Lamp! I'm sure someday, I'll get a lucky item!
I continued to camp at Frost Dragons. I blessed a player's grave outside the dungeon, only to realize that he was running up from behind me to reclaim his items. I was now fully into the swing of things. Things went smoothly, although sometimes the Blue Orb of Death would appear a little too often, or I wouldn't see it until I had already damaged myself.
After a few trips, I received my first Ancient Effigy from the Frost Dragons! I couldn't hoard them anymore though, so I was going to open it as soon as I could. One trip later, I started opening it. The first layer required 91 Firemaking: Check! Next up was 93 Farming... A clanmate had that, so I met her at Desert Strykewyrms, where she assisted me and achieved level 95 Farming in the process! She also had 99 Herblore, so she opened the next layer too. Lastly, 99 Fletching was required. There we go! I had opened it! I used it on Runecrafting and gained 32,000xp.
I did two more trips to Frost Dragons before I logged out. On the second to last trip, I decided to leave my cannon there, and come back for round two as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the instant I teleported out, it decayed! I had no idea how long it takes to disappear, but I was worried. To make matters worse, I got a random event! I blasted through it, and teleported to the Ice Dungeon again. Because my run energy was out, I was forced to sit there, waiting. And of course, I disconnected while I waited.
When I finally made it back in, I couldn't believe that the cannon was still there. I quickly picked it up and teleported away again. In total, I have about 400 Frost Dragon Bones, and it's valued at about 6m. I plan to keep going though; I must get that cashpile into the 300m!
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

Couple things I forgot to mention about yesterday! Firstly, while at Frost Dragons, I achieved 91 Constitution and 75 Ranged! But the coolest part was when I got to the Grand Exchange.
There, I met the legendary player Elvis, who's ranked #3 on the Hiscores! He wasn't doing anything too fancy; He was simply Superheating some items, wearing nothing but his Completionist's Cape. I congratulated him on his rank and wished him good luck on his future goals. He thanked me, and I teleported away.

Phew. What a long day. My driving lesson was quite possibly the longest six hours I've ever had in my life. There was actually no driving involved at all; it was a lecture for six hours. When I came home, I started out with a Frost Dragon trip. It took me forever to find a world, and when I did, I was getting hit constantly, and the Blue Orb would appear on every dragon. Already tired, frustrated and annoyed, I finished the trip and cooled off for a while.
After dinner, I logged on again. This time, I completed the Hard Clue Scroll I had in my bank. I didn't get anything particularly good from it, and the total worth was a mere 40k. Oh well; I like the actual adventure part of Treasure Trails more than the rewards!
After buying 100 Battlestaves for Pachocus and giving a player at the Grand Exchange advice on how to make money, I headed back to the Frost Dragons. This trip was much better, as if they were apologizing for that last trip. I was very rarely hit, and I was killing them really fast! In fact, the next two trips I did were the most productive trips to Frost Dragons I've ever had. It takes time to find a good world, but when you do, it's definitely worth it.
I was at my bank, getting some items when I noticed two Books of Equilibrium I had obtained from the quest that I got my Korasi's Sword from. I had wanted to use it on Ranged the whole time, but I needed to have 75 Ranged to do that. Well, now I had it. I used them both on Ranged and achieved level 76!
So now, I have 519 Frost Dragon Bones, valued at about 8.8m. I plan to keep camping at Frost Dragons until I get bored of them, so let's hope it becomes the next segment of my forever-turning "Cycle of Runescape".
Thanks for reading!
Good night! :)

Hiya!
I started out with a trip to Frost Dragons. It took a while to find a world, but eventually, I found one. I'm really happy with my setup. Everything always works out perfectly, and I almost always end up with a full load of Frost Dragon Bones. Today, I've started picking up the Crimson and Blue Charms. If I'm going to be there for a while, I had better make use of all the Charms!
After a few trips, I logged off for a break. When I came back, I did a few more trips. Then, Lion 0fJudah invited me to duo the Zamorak Boss with him. I didn't want to go at first, but as I thought about it more, it could be fun... It's never too much of a bad thing to get out of your comfort zone, so I agreed to go. This was going to be my very first duo/non-mass boss kill, so I was a little nervous. We were in a Skype call though, so it would be easier to communicate.
I got my gear and met him at Oog'log, where he gave me a few flasks, and showed me to the pools. Then, we were ready to go! I was going to be using my Chaotic Rapier, so I definitely didn't want to lose that!
We entered the God Wars Dungeon, and I ran into Zamorak's Fortress, forgetting that it drained your prayer. There went my prayer boost I got from the pool at Oog'log...
I camped out at the Imps in the fortress for a while, until I got my 40 killcount. Then, it was time to start! We drank our potions and headed in! The Zamorak Boss was definitely different than when I last saw him. He looked really cool! In fact, the last time I saw him was the day when I first met Lion 0fJudah... Nearly a year ago.
Duoing wasn't so bad, after all. Especially with Lion 0fJudah behind the wheel; he was a great Tank! We got quite a few kills, and being in the Skype call was really helpful.

Nothing yet... Lion 0fJudah's food supply was starting to go down now, and a few kills later, he teleported out in the middle of a kill. The main boss was already dead, so I stayed and attacked the remaining demons. No good drops for me
Lion 0fJudah entered the room again (we had gained 40 kills in the boss room) and then teleported out again. Then, the main boss spawned! All the demons crowded around me, and I teleported away with my Ardougne Cape 3 in the nick of time. I must have scared the poor player farming when I teleported at the Ardougne Patch, with Protect from Magic on and taking a 320 hit!
We didn't get anything from the boss, but I did manage to make about 120k! My first duo wasn't so bad! I returned to the Frost Dragons. I was getting little frustrated with them... It wasn't the dragons that was the problem, it was the people. I was very content in my spot when a random player walks in and places a cannon right next to mine! I asked him to move it, but he merely shrugged off my request. I don't like arguing with people too much, so I hopped worlds.
Eventually, I found a world with no-one in it! I got fast kills here, and I even ended up getting a Hard Clue Scroll, along with my second Ancient Effigy! After that trip, I banked all my bones. That was enough Frost Dragons for today! I have 897 Frost Dragon Bones now, valued at about 15.4m.
I completed the Treasure Trail next, and invited "Obese Keyer" to Mining Golds along the way. My reward wasn't so nice though; 53 Saradomin Arrows was the main prize. Next, I opened up my Ancient Effigy at World 117 Daemonheim. The only skill I had for it was the 93 Fletching requirement, but in the end, I cracked it open. 32,000 Runecrafting experience for me!
Thanks for reading!
Good night! :)
