    Well, since my old location for blogging has become rather dead, I'm going to try and make some entries here instead, mostly boring stuff, but it gives me somewhere to go on about stuff and distract me from real life, and its ups and downs. Which are more down than up at the moment, I guess. But enough on that, onto the RuneScape.
     
    For a while now, I've thought about maxing out the game, not just skills, but everything, basically a Completionist Cape, before they were around. So I went around, did some minquests, did all the Achievement Diaries I could (I ain't givin' into tasks!), worked to get all the music, do what I could to get there. Though I got lazy and my progress slowed as did the easy things died away. After the actual release, my interest raised again, some things I didn't much like weren't on the list (Before I saw the trimmed requirements) and I went on my way to get closer.
     
    At the moment, I'm skipping between Fishing, Cooking and random things. I've taken a short break after a weekend of Cooking (Went from early 92 to 95 in one day, took it out of me). Now I'm going between Chompies and Mage Training Arena, not that I'll use Bones to Peaches anywhere, but it's a requirement. Chompies are dreadfully boring, but I'll get a fancy lookin' hat by the end of it.
     
    I suppose I'm not seriously going for Completionist, as per the title, but going for as close as I can, there's a little skill down the bottom left corner, called Runecrafting, that's the main problem with maxing out, but hey, it's fun to do random stuff. I should probably learn how to properly Dungeoneer some day, lots of stuff falls in under that. I'm probably going to head up Lunar Island way, try my hand at Livid Farm, see how that goes.. Hell, now I'm just rambling.
     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #10: Completionist: Week 2.

    By Dax,

    Not much in the ways of levels. Incredibly boring week. Didnt really have any motivation for RS.
     
    Got double Veracs Helms in the 2x weekend:

    (Probably a terrible set-up, too :3)
     
    And 92 Thieving:

     
    And thats it. Hopefully more next week. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #11: Completionist: Week 3.

    By Dax,

    Did a bit of Fletching this week, and gained 94 Fletching:

     
    Then I finished up the Golden Mining suit:

     
    This whole Completionist is going slow, considering I got a job, and fifty thousand other games to play. Might make a serious push to finish Fletching or Thieving off, I don't know. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #12: Completionist: Week 4.

    By Dax,

    First up, I got 95 Fletching.

     
    Then 96.

     
    Then I was a little bit from a Mining level, so I got it.

     
    A slightly more productive week than usual. Looks like Polypore might get me back into Slayer, if only for one level to 95 to get to the big guys. Might update this post later with 81 Runecrafting, if I could be bothered to get it. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    This week was actually productive, as in, I started farming Torstol again. Been making some good money to go towards buyables. Plus I got a free Red HWeen mask.
     
    Best herb run Ive ever had:

    20 of which from Trollheim, also the highest amount from a patch (Also the run before I got 18 herbs and a free Torstol seed, so Ive been getting lucky at Trollheim).
     
    First for levels came 97 Fletching:

     
    Then I got this from a pretty cool guy for free:

    (Again, Napalm, ily) Not sure if Ill sell it off for 99s or not. Seems like cheating.
     
    Then I got 81 Runecraft through penguins:

     
    98 Fletching, one to go:

     
    And then it came, the first 99 Ive gotten since the beginning of my Completionist goal: 99 Fletching:



     
    I was told to Get the better looking purple cape by my girlfriend, so if I can stand it, my next 99 goal will be 99 Thieving, unless of course, I sell my mask, then Ill be getting Prayer, and maybe another buyable. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #14: Completionist: Week 6.

    By Dax,

    Boring week. Got a bit too into Skyrim and only really played a couple of times this week. Gaining only one level.
     

     
    (Also got three Whips in that task, thought it was pretty cool). Catch you next time, hopefully with more, ~Dax.

    #16: Completionist: Week 8.

    By Dax,

    Imagine theres an 85 Ranged picture here. First I forgot I was close to the level, then I forgot to take the screen of the level, then I went to get something to eat, logged out, and missed the level screen. :3
     
    There's been a reasonable amount of RS taking place however. I have calmed my Skyrim obsession (Finished Companion's, Thieve's Guild, Imperials/Stormcloaks mission strands) and now have less to do. I got God of War III and LittleBigPlanet 2 for Christmas, so RS time may get lower again once I can pry my brother off the PS3. I've jumped back into Slayer and herb runs, and so I'm aiming to get some good exp in Ranged/Slayer, and get the money for Prayer/Summoning (Though probably more likely to be Prayer, I want a new cape :3).
     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    Two levels. 82 Runecrafting:

    Also pictured, my favourite way to train Runecrafting.
     
    And then 81 Hunter:

    Testing out Draconics/Commons, theyre easy enough to do and reasonably fast (Only set to go faster), Hunter may be coming earlier than I thought.
     
    I was out of town last night and unable to do my update, so here it is tonight. Not much has been happening, though that may be me still being a bit tired and such from the trip. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #18: Completionist: Week 10.

    By Dax,

    My blog, now on Wednesdays!
     
    Only one level this week, 94 Thieving.

     
    Hopefully I'll be able to get closer to 99, but play time is set to drop with me starting work today. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    Excellent week, this was. So it begun, with me finishing the new quest, as I always do, as soon as possible.

    (Damn shame that most of this stuff is largely useless for me, with 99 Firemaking)
     
    Then I got something of a donation from a friend of mine (Thank you very much, Goon), which led to some money making and:

     
    And:

     
    Then I got this and this:

     

     
    So I could get this and this (I currently dislike the new level screens):




     
    So yes, very good week! Now Ill be heading back down to Sophanem for some Thieving, hopefully ending that pursuit, and another 99. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
     
    EDIT: Got this a little bit after, thought I may as well chuck it in here. Love mah Skoll boots.

  12. Dax
    Well, as per my last blog, I've been jumping around doing random things, like getting spells (Got the God Spells, and Bones to Peaches, Livid Farm makes me sad, so not much done on that), doing random things, making a start on Chompies (Yay for ~75 killed), and slowly but surely, my interest for my previous goals, 99 Fishing and Cooking dropped. To a point where I've stopped completely, I might pick it up again to get some easy low attention exp when I get bothered to watch more movies, shows and stuff.
     
    I've gone back to Slayer, which I still love. I suppose it's not that bad that I've dropped Fishing/Cooking at 95, seeing as my last 99 goal stopped at 96 with Attack, which I'm back on. I realised I'm somewhat close to maxing HP (I ain't givin' in to Constitution!), so that'll be fun to get. I still need to get a Fire Cape, but I just couldn't be bothered, too much effort to get training to get it.
     
    Also, if by some amazing chance I get an awesome run of drops and gain 50M or so, I'll get 99 Construction, so I might have to go Stealing Creation for a random few trips to build up a supply of points. Or maybe some Mage and Palm trees for easy Farming exp. Wait. Damn. I'm rambling again.
     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
     
    EDIT: Also, if anyone rolls on through here, how's MA these days? Still horrible, I'd assume, but it's part of Completionist, and double Berserker ring'd be fun to have.

    #21: Completionist: Week 13.

    By Dax,

    And so I got this, thanks to Skoll boots (Having it in the 90s makes it look so much better):

     
    And then I got this. Four to go!

     
    Also bought these, which should get me somewhere close to 99 Construction come the next Bonus Exp Weekend (If not, boost me up quite a bit).

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #22: Completionist: Week 14.

    By Dax,

    Started things off with doing the new quest and the three revised ones:



    (Clicked out of Death Plateaus new screen, blegh, but I do like the look of these new ones)
     
    And that's all I did this week. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #23: Completionist: Week 15.

    By Dax,

    Had some spare cash lying about, alongside the charms for it, so I got:

    One for all but Runecraft/Fire Cape tasks left, and two left for 138.
     
    And then I got this:

    Two to go until I can boost for tasks. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    #24: Completionist: Week 16.

    By Dax,

    First I finished off my Skoll boots (Finally). I got around 1.1M Agility exp from them.
     
    Then I finished this:

     
    And got:

    (Got double exp from the quest too. Was awesome.)
     
    Then I did a clue and got:

     
    Then I started on my Hati Paws and got this:

     
    And then I did another clue and got:

     
    And yet another:

     
    Then I continued with my Hati Paws and got:

     
    Then I did a fourth clue and got this:

     
    All in all, better week than others. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  20. Dax
    First I got:

     
    And then I got the much better:

     
    And then I did a clue and got:

    (Looked better than it was with the armour updates)
     
    And now I'm powering through Thieving (I'll get 96 later today, and will continue Thieving until BXP, when I'll be training Construction. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  21. Dax
    I stuck to my word. I thieved to:

     
    And as we all know, this past weekend was the Bonus Exp Weekend, so I prepared myself and stood at the door to my house with 20 oak planks in my inventory and my money pouch filled up, as soon as I woke up the morning after it begun (It started at 11PM in Australia, which is the time I usually go to sleep), I begun my Construction.

     

     

     

     

     
    Then I had to go visit my sister in hospital, so I missed a day, but when I returned, I got:
     

     

     
    Now that the weekend's over, I'll be working full time on Thieving, I'm getting that bastard, and soon. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  22. Dax
    Only got the one level this week, but a decent one. One to go!
     

     
    Should have #12 next week, if the last 50 or so levels of Temple Trekking go by fast (The last task I need to finish for Elite Morytania). Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  23. Dax
    Right now I'm weighing up a couple of options, all linking back to money. Where that money will be spent is another point. I think the most important place would probably be Prayer at the moment, but I don't know. 95 Prayer is pretty cool, right? It's the getting of the some 120 to 160M (Depending on whether I'll do frost bones or normal dragon bones, or something in between) that's got me thinking. Do I Slay, and hope I get lucky? Do I learn to TD? Hell, do I learn to stake, or PK, or something? Now I'm thinking how long it would take and how much it'd cost in comparison getting 85 Dungeoneering and getting my own bones.
     
    Eh. I need 85 anyway, and I haven't Dungeoneered in a while. Should be fun. Yeah. That's what I'll do. Whether or not I'll kill Frosts after that is another thing.
     
    As for life, I've been playing a load of L.A. Noire. Onto my second case in Homicide and I'm loving the game. Past L.A. Noire, not much has been happening in life, a couple of parties, not much else. Checking out some uni stuff on Tuesday, which I still gotta organise a whole bunch of stuff for. Eh. I'd prefer to play games at the moment. I've got a couple of assignments that need doing, and they've moved our exams back, so I haven't got any exams in close proximity, kinda happy about that now.
     
    I think I might watch a movie or two and play some RuneScape, catch you next time, ~Dax.

    As the title says, I've finally got #12! Woo! I kept everything I stole from 88(-ish, not sure exactly) to 99, and here it is.
     

    Got Black Ibis Legs on my fifth last run, I want to go finish the set, but it'll probably take me another fifty years. Through my entire 99 journey, I think I got around eight sceptres, although no fancy ones from the Sarcophagus.
     
    But then my pile of stuff turned into cash:

     
    And here are the 99 pictures.



     
    And I got:

     
    Then I went back to the ol' Slayer and got:

     
    And did a clue:

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  25. Dax
    Got a couple of levels this week.
     
    Mining:

     
    And Ranged:

     
    Did a clue and got some bad rewards:

     
    As for now, I've been Temple Trekking. Should have it, and Elite Morytania tasks, done some time soon. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
