Gandorf61's Blog

Heh seems odd that I decide to make a blog post about this past bonus xp weekend when my last blog post was about the March one.

Got quite a few levels:

11 herblore levels (cost ~30M, 55M if I don't sell any of the pots I made)

1 agility level

1 runecrafting level

Only played for about 7 1/2 hours as I was working all weekend and only had a bit of time to play. Still happy with what I achieved though, brings me one step closer to 80+ all stats. :)

The results of my time during the bonus experience weekend:

13 summoning levels

1 Runecrafting level

1 Ranged level

Quickly did the circus and then battled my way through the hoards of kyatts moving back and forth. Luckily Edgeville bank wasn't too busy. Then I just spent the rest of my time doing some runecrafting. :)

Just finished a ~200 Gargoyles task

I think I did pretty good. :P

Got enough supplies to go from 71 to around 83 summoning this weekend. I had to DIY most of the secondaries but it will be worth it. :D After I'm done my 2-3 hours of summoning I'll probably spend the rest of the time doing either agility, runecrafting, or mining. Right now I'm leaning towards runecrafting as it's been a long time goal of mine to get to level 91.

On another note, recently I've changed my ingame name to "Mr Spock" but I'm uncertain whether I should keep it. It's a cool name but somehow I kind of miss my old one with the numbers at the end. Ah well, I've still got another 25 days before I have to make a decision.

'Bout all for now, perhaps my next blog post will be sooner than one month after this one. :roll:

Finally after almost two weeks of studying, working on projects and revising some more I'm almost done all of my finals. :D

Yesterday was the last day of my Mathematics and Information Technology classes and today I finished both my English and Physics courses. Now all I have left to do is revise for my Math provincial worth 40% of my mark which is on this upcoming Tuesday.

Both my Math and IT courses ended off on good notes, my teacher seemed to really like my flash portfolio and I ended up getting 98% on my mock final in math. In English I had a good presentation which was based on the concept of freedom. However Physics didn't go as well as I hoped so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I do well enough to keep my 95% average.

Now I'm sitting here taking a break from so much stress and rubbing my head in hopes that the headache I got a couple of hours ago will go away. :-? Going to go try out War of Legends now and the Barbarian Assault Update. BA is one of my favourite minigames so I'll probably be spending a good amount of time there again for the next few days.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to make the TET's Legend of a Fire King event. I'd encourage anyone who does read this to go as well. :)

Almost been a month since I last posted in this but I just really haven't had anything interesting to talk about.

However since it's a little over a week into 2010 I thought I would set some goals to achieve on Runescape, just to keep things interesting.

List of what I'm going to try and accomplish this year:

2000 total

2100 total

80+ stats

Keep My Quest Cape

Complete All Achievement Diaries (Elite too!) (Currently only have Karamja Medium/Hard/Ardougne Elite to finish)

100M+ bank

91 runecrafting

92 firemaking

99 attack

99 fishing

99 woodcutting

Probably will come up with some more as a I go, these are just a few that I would like to complete the most right now. Oh and a little bonus goal:

Keep Having Fun. :)

If you don't get the title of this blog entry go look it up on google. ;)

Only three weeks until winter break!

Not much has happened since my last blog entry. I saw New Moon and 2012 in theatres with my friends last weekend and the weekend before that. Neither movie was of Oscar winning quality (although 2012 had some nice special effects) but nonetheless they were still good movies. I also started teaching myself html and now know pretty much the basics of coding with it, so I'm working on a simple (very simple) webpage to hand in for my IT course. Of course with learning html you also get to learn the joys of making things work in IE6 properly. (Seriously why do schools insist on using such an outdated browser?) With the forums down over the past couple of days I've actually been able to catch up on all my school work so now I only have to review for my physics test on forces and my math test on combinatorics.

Got level 81 runecrafting but that's about it for Runescape. The community event was lots of fun though; took me a while to finish the clues on the last day.

I'll end this blog with a recommendation, if you're looking for a site with fun games you should check out http://www.omgpop.com/ :)

But then I stole them back! :P

Spent a little over a day and went from 74-80 Thieving. I was originally going to blackjack all the way to 81 but I found it boring after the first five minutes so I went and did some plundering instead.

Pyramid Plunder = Fun way to train thieving

In fact it was so fun I wrote a guide for it!

[/endshamelessguideplug]

School starts again for me tomorrow so my time playing will be limited again, but I think I got a lot done over the past several days I've had off.

70-80 construction

90 cooking

83 magic

74-80 Thieving

I think I'll go do some fishing this week as it's semi afkable and if I have some time I'll be back at the pyramid again. :)

...how planks stay together without using nails.

[spoiler=Stuff I can make now]

Not that I'm complaining but it just seems like everything in my house should be a little unstable without nails to hold them all together. :P

Spent around 7-8 hours playing some fast stealing creation and then today I went from 70 - 80 construction. :D

Now I'm off to spend a bunch of cash to make my house a lot better which should be fun. Probably get a gilded alter, throne room, dungeon, and some other cool stuff.

Finally got around to finishing the Ardougne achievement diary today. Probably wont be getting the Elite tasks done for a while yet as that summoning level is going to take ages to reach.

[spoiler=Oh my!]

I also just got off for my 5 day term break so I've been playing a lot of fast stealing creation because I'm hoping to go from 70-80 (possibly 85) construction tomorrow. I have around 100 more points to get which should only take me a little over an hour.

But now I'm tired so I'm going to sleep, cutting this dull blog short. (Hooray!) :P

So on Thursday Death called upon me to clean his bathtub and while getting it cleaned I plunged into an abyss many times, and helped decorate a house. I also made a new friend. :D

Meet my new friend Eeeeek!!!!

She's the cutest little spider ever and I'm going to take her everywhere I go. :) Tomorrow we'll have fun trick or treating with the TET around Falador, Varrock and Lumbridge and then perhaps we'll finally get around to exploring Ardougne.

In other news I'm almost 98 woodcutting and I just want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!

Hope you guys all have a blast.

From a combination of genie lamps, penguin points and using the ZMI alter I finally achieved my goal of 80 runecrafting!

Perhaps one day I'll be able to reach the oh so awesome 91 runecrafting, but for now back to woodcutting. :P

I'm so bad at getting things done. Even now as I sit here typing this I'm procrastinating. I should be writing my story for English but I just can't get the words down on paper so it actually sounds good. Distractions. I just want to get it done. If I can just get one stroke of inspiration I'll be set for the next hour.

On a lighter note I have 97 woodcutting now, and will be getting 80 runecrafting from penguin points later today. :)

Old picture of 95 woodcutting from a few days ago:

Well back to writing I guess. I think I may have an idea or two. Hopefully it will come out on paper nicely.

Whew. Almost the end of one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. On Friday I got home early enough to attend the TETAU event "Miss Annie Gram" which was a lot of fun. I hung out with my friends later that night and played some Mario Kart and watched a movie. Lots of laughs and fun there. Then on Saturday I woke up not tired for once and got to relax a bit in the morning. I did some of my homework and then ate lunch before logging on to the TET Pub event. I wasn't fast enough to get any of the question answers (although I almost won the item find) but I had a lot of fun anyways. Later that night I went to a haunted house with my friends which was so much fun and scary too. :P It was probably the best haunted house I've been to and I'll be sure to go there again next year.

Now I've woken up on Sunday morning and I'm writing this blog. I have a bit of homework to catch up on so it's going to be mostly a stay at home day for me. I'm looking forward to this week because I get out of school early on Monday and Thursday and I also get Friday off! :D

Hopefully next weekend will be as awesome as this one was . |^_^|

First official blog post update thingy!

Between the forum conversion and now I've gotten quite a few new levels:

[spoiler=Pictures!]

I've been able to go from 82-92 since the new woodcutting update. Ivy is really awesome. :D Unfortunately most the seeds I get from the nests have been horrible. The only good seed I've gotten was a Magic Tree one which made my day. Wait, talk about funny timing, I just got another Magic Tree seed! :lol:

Also been busy with school lately so I haven't had a chance to do anything besides low attention tasks, but as soon as I get some spare time I'm going to get my construction from 70-80.

Btw Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians! I've already had Turkey for the last two days and I'm having some more tomorrow. :)

For archival purposes I've posted my original Blog from Blogscape here.

[hide=About Me]I'm a 16 year old student living in British Columbia, Canada and currently attend highschool in 11th grade. My hobbies/interests include some graphics design and animation (which I have newbie skills in) as well as just hanging out with friends and of course playing Runescape. I also read a lot because books are awesome. ;)[/hide]

[hide=About My Runescape Life]I first created an account in late 2004 when Runescape had become the popular craze in my grade 6/7 class. It was all everyone in the class talked about and many of them would meet each other ingame to make armour for each other and overall have a good time. Unfortunately after creating an account I tried to log in only to realize after 15 minutes of waiting for the game to load up that my computer couldn't run the game even in lowest detail. <Moment of Sadness>

However in around May of 2005 I got a newer computer, and although it was still pretty old, it could run Runescape! Several days after I ended up creating Gandorf61 and started playing. At this point the craze had mostly ended and only a few people I knew still played. However they helped me by showing me around which was a lot of fun. I still remember freaking out after accidentally clicking a man without realizing it and getting killed. Eventually I got shown to Al Kharid where I ended up being lost in for several days. #-o

From that point on I continued to play, doing all the quests (which I loved) Mining essence for money (when I could get it sold for 40gp/ea <3: and some occasional merchanting. However I got hacked in late 2005 by being extremely stupid and lost everything I had. I ended up quiting for about half a year and thus missed three holiday events which I regret miserably.

However one of my best friends encouraged me to start playing again and I did once I realized that if I changed my recovery questions and password I wouldn't be able to get hacked again (I had thought that they would be able to hack me with my old password, little did I know that I was totally wrong. :rolleyes:

Then in January 2008 I got members for the first time after opening a paypal account. Once again I enjoyed the wonders of a whole new world I didn't even know existed. I haven't gone F2P since then. :lol: I tried all the content available to me and was always questing due to my love of quests. Just over a year later I got myself a quest cape. <3:

Now you can find me always increasing my total level, talking with friends, and just having fun.[/hide]
