^click for his bloggeh^

kicker:

^i lost :(

new challenge:

^ losing :( ...im not going to win, taking a break from mining for about a week more

lost :cry:

1/3 aint bad...

finished goal(s):

current goal(s):

^ i have 74 banked, doing sapph bracers, so i can alch and make some money back ^

possible/next goal(s):

^ i love cooking in real life, so i might be getting this for sentimental purposes. i wont be purchasing the cape, but i might let it trim my mining cape assuming that i will be giving up crafting (which is a possibility because of the cost) ^

mini-goal(s):

so i can KBD with buddies in karils :D

"wickets":

some intro stuff:

[hide=ABOUT ME]well, im currently 15, almost 16. im from new jersey. i love the NJ Devils, and i absolutely hate the NY Rangers. i also play hockey, and am striving to be a doctor in the near future. i started runescape in march of 05 thanks to a friend who showed me it while we were doing a lesson on the medieval(sp?) era. i started with combat first, gaining level quickly, then i died and lost over 50m worth in items in the summer of 06.

i quit for 2 years, and came back last summer of 08 and decided, combat is overrated. lets go get a 99 and a nice cape. i looked over my options. none of the skills appealed to me. then, i looked at the top right corner of the skill level window and saw it. my highest non combat skill. mining. it always appealed to me. maybe its because of my patient personality or something, but i never get tired of it. its one of those things, like GWD is to high levels who want a challenge and money. they cant stay away. i like a challenge, and mining mellows me out :D

so i started on this 99. not only did i want it because it defines me, but i wanted it because it was one of the top 5 skills (prob #3 or 4) that had the least amount of 99s in it, and even high levels with 99 slayer didnt even have 99 mining.

so here i go...on a long road...with my trusty rune pickaxe..the quest for 99 mining begins![/hide]

::MINING SECTION::

I will keep everyone posted on my journey to 99 Mining. I will try and post every single level up message (at least every "5", like 75, 80, 85, etc).

>>MY TANK<<

New pure tank:

his goals:

--- 41 ---

--- 28 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 28 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 1 ---

--- 16 ---

--- 26 ---

as you can see, basically a desert treasure/crystal bow* tank. mage/range tank. and some prayer thrown in too. i dont expect to complete kings ransom so i wont have prayer 70 as a goal, though it might be a thought. im trying for him to be a barrows tank at least, maybe get armadyl for kicks or something. no monkey madness or lost city as i am not going to rely on melee at all with this guy. i will only play on this character after i achieve 99 mining on atom. another goal for atom might be 99 crafting for trim. costs around 41m, ill look into it.

*crossed out crystal bow as the quest gives STR exp and that's not what i want. ill stick to the good 'ole dark bow and dragon arrows for kills? :P

***the small goals will not show up as i will not be in high scores. i will post current lvls after each goal***

Question!!!!!

after 99 mining (in about a year :wall: ) what should i get to trim? i was thinking crafting (tiaras, 41M) or cooking...but people have been telling me superheat iron to train mage and smith...

thoughts?

going to make 41m and bank 99 crafting (tiaras)

going for 99 craft AFTER 99 mining. i will quit at exactly 0:00 june 1st, 2010, regardless of crafting levels. the only thing that will keep me playing past then (if anything) is if i dont have 99 mining yet.

[hide=RANDOM CRAP]BoB 3/29/09

check it. RC pro.

76 def...

83 mage!

84 mage...

stars are fun

got the tag, 6675 exp. was s7, i mined 90% of it on my own until my friend whom scoped came, and i asked her to come. she wasnt initially going :P

that was more than 2/3 through. happy that locusts didnt get this one. good chunk of exp (20k lmao)

holycrapholycrapholycrap!

GRATZ WIZZY!!!!!

lol 1337 total

Woohoo company \!

See people...99 mining is an arduous journey but just take that scary first step. Best of luck Atom Smash, I'll keep checking your progress. Just remember...your mind is your greatest enemy :ohnoes:. So far I'm pwning mine teehee.

Hey man, it seems that everyone doesnt believe in 99 mining now adays saying nobody is geting it! Go show them all wrong and show then the real way to stick to the goal and get it!

this post to say "i am now 10% of the way :)"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

currently, 89,800 exp till 76 :shock:

this is gunna take awhiles...

sadly, i keep getting sidetracked. but good news is only 23k left till 76....which is pretty bad considering ive had a week. stupid hockey camp. well, at this rate, i should be getting 99 by next summer. im not mining granite, but instead mining gold ore, since it is more profitable and using arzinian mines is fast and plentiful

No worries Atom you're on the right track! My blog readers know I'm notorious for taking long breaks or being a slug at times due to real life matters. Just remember, 99s should never have deadlines. The goal is to make it there...not how fast you make it. Keep it up Atom!

i dont kno what to do....keep mining gold and get 18-20k exp an hr at best and make money or powermine granite and get fastest exp but no cash or mine shilo rocks which are as slow as gold, but same exp and gives me gems for crafting....

advice pl0x

advice pl0x

Can't really recommend any members spots since I've never been one :P...but if your goal is merely the 99 and you are not concerned about money, just powermine iron/granite and drop most of the way. Also I'm not sure you could get 18-20k mining and banking gold (but then again, never tried member's spots, so I could be waaaaaay off). This part of the bargain is truly your call, there is no better way...only faster or more profitable ways.

yea...im going for exp no money mainly...i rc for money anyways. im going back to the granite mines

and u can get 18-20k per hr with this arzinian mine. has 147 gold rocks. and most of them are in clusters. and this guy like 200 paces away can bank for u. so u dont have to go to the closest bank which is like 2-3 min away

77 w00t!!!!!!!!11 one!!

Hey, Good luck on 99 mining!! It's a great skill, that few truly appreciate, but nonetheless one that takes a great deal of time. I read some of the above posts, and I saw The whole gold/power-mining conversation thingy. Personally, I prefer gold mining to power-mining. There are two reasons that I'm doing this. One is that I hate the feeling that I'm just wasting the ore that I get. The other is that I love smithing, and gold is great smithing Exp. But if you aren't planning on smithing it, and you don't really care about the ore... Then power-mining would probably be your best option. Hopes this helps a bit. Yet again, good luck, and I look forward to seeing your continued progress (and seeing you pass me at this rate :ohnoes: )

ty for the support but I doubt I'll pass u LOL

bump. making good progress. :thumbsup:

You better hurry up!

78 mining! ;)

ehh I won't get 78 til friday. I'll let u have this one. I'll beat u to 99 tho

i r 78. prob wont get 79 till nxt week. i dont mine on weekends. u win.

No. Im 123k from 79 now. Going away this weekend. So, you still have a chance. ;)

ha! u think I'll go out of my way and mine on weekends? idk maybe. could prob get within 80k of 79 if I really wanted to :/

I wish ya the best of luck on 99 mining! I've always loved mining, it's by favorite stat by a lot. If you like, drop by my blog about mining, except mine is reaching for the front page of high scores, since I got my cape on July 1st this year.

Trust me, it's well worth it.

currently mining gold for TET cwars and clan war right after.

i need 2.5k gold by saturday noontime

w00t 79!!!
