What I actually felt like doing was gaining some Magic levels. I teleported to the Grand Exchange and bought exactly 9441 Nature Runes, just enough for High Alching to level 80. Once they bought, I purchased 9441 Feathers. I hadn't considered the loss factor of the Nature Runes, so I guess Alching Feathers wasn't exactly the best idea I had had. I was about to start alching when I suddenly thought "What if it alcha the whole pile of feathers, and not just one?". I knew that it alchs noted items individually, but I wasn't sure how it worked with stacked items. I decided to test it out with three feathers. I clicked my Magic Book and... I realized I was still on Lunar Magics.
So after a detour of teleporting to Lunar Isle to switch spellbooks, I tested out my alching. Thankfully, it only alched one feather and not the whole stack. I got my skilling outfit on and started alching. I kind of like Grand Exchange skills; you know, Crafting, Alching, Fletching, etc. You get to really see what kind of community you belong to.
At the beginning, I was giving this one player tips on Fletching. A moment later, I was giving another player tips on how to make money. Eventually, a small crowd of people gathered around me, and we started a pretty cool "club". We were all chatting and talking with each other, and it was really cool. But alching was much slower experience than I thought it was going to be. I had spent my money on the runes though, so I had no choice but to keep going. After about 1100 alchs, I had to go. I said goodbye to the small crowd and I logged off.
Well thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed yourself!
Good night!

I logged on today and once again started alching. For a second time, I seemed to magnetize people towards me... probably all to see the amazing talking alcher. Anyways, we had some great convversations, and I got to give a lot of money making advice to a lot of people. One player added me. I alched for quite a while. I had always been wondering exactly how much I could alch in one hour, so I decided to time myself. In one hour, I managed to alch a total of 1,044 feathers. This gave me 67,860 xp. I eventually got level 77 Magic though! I was just on the brink of boredom when ChaosZerk PMed me. He wanted to do something with me.
I wa getting pretty bored with alching, so we decided on going to the Duel Arena. This time, my Abyssal Whip didn't seem to hit through him constantly like before. This was kind of strange... Until I realized what was happening. ChaosZerk had been training Prayer a lot lately, and I soon realized that he was using Piety! Well that kind of sucked because there was no way I could compete with my failed Prayer level. I died pretty quickly each fight. A little embarassing, but oh well. His account is built for fighting; my accuont is built for fun
I soon had had enough of Dueling, so I brought out the alch gear again. I ran to the observation deck of the Duel Arena and watched people get destroyed while I alched. I really liked watching the Mage hybrids. I loved how they would freeze an opponent with Ice Barrage then use some intense Ranged skills on them to wipe them out. Then there was this other guy who was using a Dragon Claw Special. I thought the victim was doomed; I was wrong. The player with the Dragon Claws missed almost all of the attacks, while the other player brought out an Armadyl Godsword and annihilated the player. Felt a little bad for that guy.

As usual, I was browsing around on the forums. This time, I was in the Adventuring Parties forums. I came across a player named Solid DKS who was willing to pay people for rushing dungeons.
Well what an opportunity to test out my new-found keying abilities! I posted on his thread and PMed him when he went online. I was still at the Duel Arena when we decided to go Dungeoneering, so I ran back to the Bank Chest, got out my Ring of Kinship, and teleported to Daemonheim. I joined his party and we entered floor 4, small.
The only problem was that I had already completed all the floors that he was planning on doing. But if I proved my self as a good keyer, I guess the money would make it worth it. We did quite a few floors, and I was keying as fast as I could. Solid DKS seemed to die quite a lot, so that probably slowed his experience rates down quite a bit.
On each floor, I would open as many floors as I could initially, and try and expand the map as fast as possible. Each time we came across a Boss, we fought it first, then finished off the floor. We were averaging about six minutes for each small floor. Solid DKS seemed pretty happy about my keying abilities; when I asked him if he thought I was keying fast enough, he replied with a "Hell yeah haha!". That felt pretty good.
I completed a ton of Dungeons with Solid DKS. He was trying to get level 50 Dungeoneering, and I helped him get from level 47 to level 49. He had to leave, so we exited Daemonheim, and he said that he would pay me now. Now usually I would do this sort of thing for free, but I was pretty broke, so I decided that I really needed the money.

I slid down the icy staircase and waited for Solid DKS to follow. I waited a while... and he logged off. Now Solid DKS didn't seem like the sort of guy who would scam me, so I waited for a while. A few minutes passed, and he still didn't show up. He had seemed like a really nice and honest player in Daemonheim, so I decided to wait just a few more minutes. The waiting payed off! He logged on and met with me, explaining to me that he had exited from the wrong tab.
He asked me how much I wanted, so I answered "Whatever you feel".
He decided to give me 500k. That was pretty good! I have to say, I'm really enjoying keying dungeons. It's tons of fun, and it makes it a lot easier when trying to find a team.
I brought out my alching gear again. I alched and alched, all at Daemonheim. I kind of don't like alching at the Grand Exchange, and here is why: Whenever I see someone "Doubling Money", I always think that they are legitimate. I see their friends go over there and the doubler gives them like 15M. The friend starts freaking out and thanking them. Then I feel like I should be going over there and get him to double my money. But somewhere deep in my mind I know that it's all just a scam. I've already been scammed by the doubling money trick, so I don't want it to happen again.
I alched for quite a long time. Eventually, I got to level 78. Only two more levels until I can start casting String Jewellery! And for that, I'm going to craft my own Astral Runes! I started off at having to complete 9,441 alchs. So far, I've grinded it down to about 5,000. All I can say is that alching really sucks. I can't wait until I start String Jewellery!
That's it for today, thanks for reading! By the way, I really enjoy reading all of the comments that you post
Good night! :)

Today, I actually felt like alching. I logged on and was all ready to go ! But then I realized that last time before I logged off, I had deposited all my alching gear and had gotten out my Ring of Kinship. I guess I was going to go Dungeoneering! I really wanted floor 30 to be unlocked, so I decided to do floor 29. I was killing the boss, Night-Gazer Khigorak, when Solid DKS PMed me. He wanted to go Dungeoneering again. Well I could use some money, that was for sure.
I killed the boss (after quite a long time), nd met with Solid DKS. We completed a few floors. Eventually, I asked him if he wanted to leech. He said no, but a few floors later, he decided that he wanted to. No offense to him or anything, but the dungeon seemed to complete itself at the same pace whether he was there or not
We did around six floors, and at the end of the final floor, Solid DKS reached his mini-goal of level 50 Dungeoneering. We exited Daemonheim. Now Solid DKS is (was) a pretty rich fellow. But he had bought a Torva Full Helm and Third Age Melee Armour for a friend a little while ago, so he was pretty broke. He didn't have enough money to pay me! As I said, normally I would let it be free, but I really needed money. I told him he can owe me.
I started alching some more. Those pesky feathers weren't going to alch themselves! I soon noticed a level 40 player running around. He came up to me and asked a question so full of grammatical errors that I couldn't even understand it. It was something like "What can it where does free for all barrier?". I asked him instead if he wanted a Dungeoneering tutorial. He said that he did. I told him that he had to deposit all his items except for his Ring of Kinship. He was a little skeptical about depositing his weapons, but I assured him that he would be fine. He ran off. A few minutes later, he still hadn't come back. I right clicked the pile of people at the Banker. Workman271 wasn't there.

I added him to my Friend's List and asked him where he had gone. I got no reply. Oh well, I thought, I might as well tell him some facts. I told him that there was a banker at Daemonheim (I had a suspicion that he had run all the way to Al Kharid or something), and that he could teleport to Daemonheim simply by clicking his Ring of Kinship. I didn't get a response of any kind.
I continued alching. A player named Desre invited me to her party. I asked her what floor she was on, and she replied with floor 6. Well I had already completed that floor, so I declined her offer. But then it occurred to me that maybe I could key for her for some money. I suggested the idea, and she agreed to three floors for 200k. She traded me and I brought up the trade screen. Instead of cash though, she offered me a pile of a variety of logs. The total cash value was about 127k. I had no use of logs, so I declined the offer. Instead, I thought I would be nice and do one floor with her, just for fun.
We entered a floor and I keyed as fast as I could. We got to the boss (Plane-Freezer Lahkranaz) quite fast. We killed it and I left the party. She had gotten about 1,000 experience, so she was really happy. We exited Daemonheim and she thanked me. I did a few more alchs and me and Desre chatted. She had just finished some Slayer, but she didn't have any good armour. So I told her that she could borrow my Bandos Chestplate for free for five hours. I don't think she knew what it was, because she started saying that the Saradomin Sword was best for Strength experience. Maybe she thought I was talking about a Bandos Godsword. Anyways, I talked her into borrowing it, and she equipped it. She said thanks and she ran off to finish off her task of Jellies.
I alched for quite a while, and after some time, Desre came back. I had just said "Hi" when I noticed that Workman271 was back! I offered that Dungeoneering tutorial again, and he accepted for a second time.

Workman271 turned and invited Desre to the party. I guess it was going to be three of us. I told him how to enter a dungeon, and we started Workman271's first dungeon. I started talking while Desre went on to kill the monsters. Eventually, Workman271 and I started in on the dungeon. I explained to him the basics of Dunegoneering. After just one floor, he had to go. I thanked him for a good time, and he left. Just me and Desre left. We decided to finish off the dungeon.
I exited Daemonheim and started alching again. After a while, an Administrator from Mining Golds PMed me. I was a little curious as to why he would PM me and not talk to me in the Clan Chat. Well he PMed me to let me know that I was now enabled to invite people to the clan! This meant a lot to me. I was (still am) quite honoured that the Administrators felt that I would be a good choice to be a Recruiter. Trust me, baing a Recruiter is quite a prestigous job in Mining Golds. Not a lot of members get to be a Recruiter. He told me that a good way to get recruits was to go to the Grand Exchange and set up a Clan Vexillum. I said that I would be sure to do that.
At that moment, a player in the Clan Chat was wondering how to get the Clan Cape. I told her that I would show her how to get it. I teleported to Falador and waited for her to meet me there. She didn't come after a while, so I asked her where she was. Apparently, she had to go. Well I hadn't actually gotten the Clan Cape myself, so I ran to the Clan Camp and got one. I teleported to the Grand Exchange, set up a vexillum and started alching beside it with my Clan Cape on.
After a while, I began noticing a lot of players about level 72ish all wearing the same armour running back and forth from the Grand Exchange. I was a little curious as to where they were going, so I decided to follow one. She had run into the house that requires a Brass Key. I ran back to the Grand Exchange and withdrew my key. I followed another "clone".

This player went to the same place, but this time I entered and followed them. I appeared in the dungeon with the Hill Giants. There were at least six players, all around level 70 wearing the same armour. All of them had strange names too-- One was something like "gdgcvvc". These "players" seemed a lot like combat bots to me. I ran around to each one and tried to talk with them. No response from any of them. They were all using the same attack style as well, and they would all pick up the Big Bones and run to the Grand Exchange and bank them. I followed them for a while, and they did the EXACT same thing each time. I took relish in reporting each and every one of them for botting.
I ran back to my vexillum and continued to alch. Eventually, I got level 79 Magic! It's really weird, but when I'm alching by my vexillum, alching seems to not be quite as boring. A while after I got level 79, a player named "Beelzebob" stopped by me. I asked him if he was interested with Mining Golds. He asked a few questions about it, which I answered truthfully. In the end, he decided to join. I used the invite player for the very first time and recruited a new player to Mining Golds! We all gave him a big warm welcome. I felt very proud of myself for being one of the few people in Mining Golds who were able to recruit people. I alched just a little longer before I logged off.
Well, that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed reading my entry!
Good night!

Today was totally epic! Well, not quite. Actually it was the complete opposite! I had to go get a haircut and then go to sports practice, so I didn't have much time to play Runescape. I had about 2 hours in the end.
What to do with those two hours... Well I had 2,800 alchs until level 80 Magic, so I decided to put a dent into that. I attempted to place my vexillum in the same place as before, south of the Grand Exchange. But suddenly I lagged really badly. In fact, my whole computer froze! I finally reestablished a connection and decided to put my vexillum at the teleport spawn in Edgeville, just west of the bank.
I placed my vexillum and started alching. I alched and alched... It was getting kind of boring. I was chatting in my Clan Chat a lot though, so that helped cease the sheer boredom. Almost appearing out of thin air, a random player entered the Friend's Chat and started going on about how a new skill was going to be released, and that the release video was at [insert website URL here]. Now I can't kick people in my clan; I'm not a high enough rank. So usually when I think a player should be kicked, I just say "kick". After about 20 seconds, a Lieutenant kicked the player. Right after I thanked him, a player in the Friend's Chat started talking.
He was saying that he had just visited the site and that it wasn't actually a Runescape Login trick; that it was an actual site. I told him that he should scan his computer for viruses immediately. Two other players said the same as me, but for some reason the player who had visited the site got quite defensive. He started telling me that I was a troll, and that he was going to report me. The two other players and I repeated to him that he should scan his computer, but he simply would not listen. Eventually, he "reported" me for trolling him somehow. Apparently, he had Norton security, so there was no way a virus could penetrate his computer.

The other two players started to laugh at him and mock him, so I intervened. I said that we had warned him, and if he got hacked, there was nothing we could do; we did everything we could.
I alched for another eternity. A player in my Clan Chat asked if someone could invite his friend to the clan. I volunteered myself. The player, "Fur Burg3r", was at the Grand Exchange, World 66. I hopped worlds and ran to the Grand Exchange. After a while of looking for him, I eventually spotted him. I invited him to the clan, and we all gave him a big warm welcome.
I ran back to Edgeville and planted my vexillum again. I alched some more. I soon noticed a player asking for a 91 Fletching assist in the bank. Well, you know me, I love those assists! I sprinted over there, and offered my 99 Fletching. I got the assist! Another 15,000 experience for me!
I ran back to my vexillum and alched a few more. Some players were talking about Fletching and assisting, and one guy mentioned "Maxed". It couldn't hurt, so I said "Offer 99 Fletching!". Lucky for me, one of those guys needed an assist! I assisted him as well, and got another 15,000 experience! Right after that, a third player needed an assist! Unfortunately, I was maxed out
I alched some more, and amused myself with watching a conversation a group of PKers were having. Apparaently, they had been in the deep Wilderness and had stumbled into a group of low level PKers. They had completely owned them, and had gotten loot worth over 1M each.
I alched more, and saw a variety of people teleport to Edgeville. One guy was wearing an octopus as well! Maybe I'm bringing a trend It wouldn't surprise me; I get a lot of questions as to where I got my octopus.
I alched for a long time, and finally, I got... 1,000 alchs until level 80! The final stretch! I started off at 9,441, so 1,000 is looking pretty nice!
Well that's it for today! Thanks for reading!
Good night!
