Finished up at the lessers and then onto Chaeldar for my next task - bloodvelds. Not too exciting but it certainly sped up the exp rate. Two ranged levels, a HP level, and 58 Slayer. Only two to go! Have run out of ammo, and there were no mith bolts for sale on the GE, so off to make some in Keldagrim. Will do Giant Dwarf quest while I'm at it so I can get a good gravestone (I think 4 minutes should be enough... no need to spend 500k on it).

Got to 57 Slayer today at the Lesser Demons. Got the Rune Med drop from them, but the alch value only just covers my mith bolts. 70k to go to 60 Slayer the end is in sight! Hope to do it this month, just need enough time....

Hey Draco. I read your suggestions. I think your idea of allowing drops above 3k in monster lairs is excellent. I think it would be pretty funny watching a gold farmer trying to drop trade in the DK's lair!

Slayer at Desert Lizards went surprisingly quickly. Onto Pyramid Plunder for my Thieving levels. That's as good exp as its rumoured to be - I reckon 42k exp/h at my level. One downer, got a Pharaoh's sceptre but had a full inv. Get chucked straight out of the Pyramid - run back to the room just in time to see the red dot disappear. Oh well, probably won't see another one of them... Anyways, a quick Prayer level, so I could put Tears of Guthix towards Slayer, and then onto next assignment. Lesser Demons. Headed to Karamja and start slaying. Those guys are mean droppers. Should get me another Slayer level tomorrow though.

Basilisks for todays Slayer task. Underestimated how slow they are to kill, I think super strength and attacks instead of regular pots would have helped. Took too much food as well, they don't hit very often. Got myself 56 Slayer & 64 Defence in the process, and a few mith, addy and rune drops to alch but still no head for my house. Next task was turoths which Axe Man Jack's guide advised me to skip, which I did... and got desert lizards *sigh*. Was thinking about levelling thieving at Pyramid Plunder so might kill two birds with one stone (plus I could then use Tears Of Guthix to boost Slayer). Better not get too distracted from Slayer though I've still got 80-90k exp to get by next month. Hope I should be able to do it, 4.5k exp/d average doesn't sound so bad.

Have been trying to level Slayer today, but its going a bit slow. On a troll mission all day. Have got a black mask, and been using strength and attack pots to speed it along. No Slayer level, but a Defence and a HP level. I'm thinking 60 Slayer may take longer than I thought. On a side note, have finally sold my Harralander tar for about 350k. Not bad for an hours work! Never really thought it would sell. Might make some more once I've got my 60s, unless of course I get Cave Slimes as a slayer mission.

A few days since my last update and a few more levels to report. Two herblore levels from my MTK herbs. I'm not selling my pots at the moment as the prices are so low.... if they don't go back up I'll just use them myself. Have been making harralander and tarromin tar (which I have been trying unsuccessfully to sell on GE). Started off collecting tar from Lunar Diplomacy ship, but was so boring, so killed a few cave slimes instead... may have to hunt me a lizard and use these tars for combat if they don't sell. Also levelled up some prayer with a combination of dragon bones and ogre bones. Got PKed again at green dragons, so spent quite a lot of time at zombie ogres, but rate of the rare bone drops is so slow... I've decided it would be faster to balloon craft some laws and teletab them for profit and just buy the bones. Looks like you can't DIY everything.

Another four level day! Putting the effort into Slayer seems to be really paying off for combat stat training. The monsters seem to be paying for themselves too. Got plenty of alchable drops from a Pyrefiends task, plus a clue scroll (Guthix Page). Got another clue scroll from a Molanisk task (studded chaps g). I'm hanging on to the rewards for now until the GE settles down, which is playing havock with my bank space. I've had to throw out my tree root collection to make space!

Just been doing Slayer since my last post. Bloodvelds went very slowly but at least totalled up the exp. On to Ice Giants now which are going a lot quicker, but I only get to play for a few minutes at a time, so I'm constantly having to deal with aggressive Ice Warriors :roll:

A good start to the month, with three levels this morning. Up to 60 Runecrafting with Laws via ballon, and 67 Magic turning them into teletabs. The price of Cammy teletabs is strill dropping but it is still excellent profit for ~35k Magic exp/hr! Decided it was time to get serious with Slayer (my lowest level) so I got round to finally completing full rune. I got a bit carried away on my shopping trip and ended up buying an obby cape! Luckily a third of my teletabs sold straight away so that covered my costs. Finished my troll slaying assignment for 53 Slayer and on to Bloodvelds for my next assignment.

Another level at last! Thought I was never going to get there. Have been slightly distracted by trying to find a way to make money on the GE, but have got there at last. Have been making teletabs, and have been selling coal and buying back at a lower price. I think there is definitely the potential to play the market with this new update if you buy low and sell high! Anyways as long as the teletab market holds up I'll stick with them until 71 Magic and then start runecrafting on the ZMI altar.

According to tip.it database they alch for 6gp ea. I tried selling to general store for about 10gp ea. Best to stay in the house and drop, and send your butler out to get planks.

Yes you can train construction by making flatpack furniture in your workshop. You get the same exp for making it. Whoever installs the flatpack gets nothing. I actually prefer this technique to oak larders. I find removing the larders slower than dropping the flatpacks (no market to sell, and minimal value to alch I'm afraid). The other advantages are you're not in building mode so you can drop the random's gifts, and you can use teak or mahogany planks (if you're rich)

Well my MTK herbs got me two Herblore levels today... now I've got to see whether the GE will sell them for a profit for me!

I have just got as far as 65 Magic alching. But now I'm wondering if this is the best way to continue (my target is 71 for now). I am considering... A) Continuing alching (about 6k needed) B) Teletabs C) Fire bolts with Chaos Gauntlets D) Your suggestions Would love to have everyone's 10 cents worth

None! I'm a self sufficient skiller, so I craft my own runes and make my own alchs, and then use the money to buy more ess.

Finished my super energies on Friday for 55 Herblore. Saturday I did some Agility Arena. Saving up tickets so no levels. Today I got level 65 Magic with the last of my alchs... Collected from MTK today. Have decided to go with herbs, think I should be able to turn a profit (or at least cover costs).

Did a couple of quests this morning (Death To The Dorgeshuun & Tears Of Guthix) as a break from levelling. Then back to skilling, working on herblore today. I bought 300 Avantoe and have harvested fungi for super energy pots. Now just the mixing to get through.

Another two agility levels today at the Wildy course. Used up some energy potions which helped keep the whole thing moving. Had to take a break after two levels, so thieved a clue scroll from HAM headquarters. Haven't tried a level 1 scroll before, and found it a bit too straightforward. I'd like to try and get some more Agility levels but may need to return to the business of RCing and Mage Arena. I'll have to check my bank as I may have a few hundred alchs left as well.

Thanks for your support everyone! No time to play today, but did manage a herblore level after writing my blog yesterday. (Had got PKed again on wildy agility course, but back again now with energy pots and cakes....) Mmm cakes, what PKer can resist? Should get a DDS and at least leave them poisoned and skulled in deep wildy! Got summoned back to work for meeting tomorrow, so don't know if I'll make it on again tomorrow, just glad I bagged a load of levels when I could.

On an agility roll today. Three levels at wilderness course all done in Daisy's nap time. Wildy course getting a little monotonous, but still have half a load of cakes to go, so I'll try and stick it out ill they're all used up or until the next pointless PK!

Busy days in RS and RL. Yesterday ecto'ed my pre ground bones for four prayer levels (thanks Draco for the dagganoth bones). Christie and Daisy home yesterday afternoon, and Daisy awake all night! This means mother and daughter asleep this afternoon, so I got a couple of agility levels in the Brimhaven arena. Then moved to the Wilderness course for a change of scenery. Will stay out there until I run out of cake or PK death....

Big blog update. Christie went into labour on 13th November, and our daughter Daisy was born the next day. Completely mazing life changing ecperience, just puts the rest of your life in perspective. Christie had to have a Caesarian, so Mum and babe are still in hospital, So have been spending the evenings half asleep on the sofa just clicking the alch button (strangely relaxing when you're knackered). Spent most of the day in the hospital today, just holding her. Amazing news dirty nappies don't smell (at least not in the first 24 hours!) Anyways, on RS had just got 69 Construction before all of this happened so have built gilded altar (doesn't feel a particularly important accomplishment compared to fatherhood). However, a picture.... Will probably have a fairly minimal RS presnce for a few weeks now.. (not that sorry, although will miss Draco's gold bar crafting experience :( ). However will put the odd level in when I can.... Prayer should be easy for a few levels! And will try and keep the blog updated where I an.

Got another construction level today, now one short of the level I need for gilded altar (with tea and saw). Thought I'd take a break and go green dragon hunting, but Christie started getting pains so I've been at the hospital ever since... no baby yet, but tomorrow who knows?
