    I just happened to achieve a total level of 1337 today :D. It is a level which naturally many aspire to due to its long history of internet eliteness. In reality its still a rather poor total level but I shall still bask in the glory of this moment! After all, its only taken me 3 years to get to these amazi-cough-not so amazing heights. Ah well, I'm truly a miner and smither at heart <3.
     
    Psst I'm aware that I have scary combat gear on and it says I got a farming level. I got hooked on slayer, managed to get an xp lamp, and decided to level farming he, he, he...
    [hide=1337 Total screenshot][/hide]
     
    In other news, I had a rush of exams that slowed down my progress quite a bit. I managed to scramble on today, grabbed a few paltry levels in other stats, and finally went to the gold mines! Shortly after half an hour of mining I scored myself 18 million mining xp! I'm certainly one happy camper :^_^:...

    I bet you're all wondering why you saw several Pikachus scampering about in people's avatars (including mine) around All Hallows Eve. I shall now recount to you the spooky tale known as...
     

     
    The time of ghouls and goblins was nearing as well as trick or treat. Crew decided to pull a trick of the most devious nature to befuddle our dear users. We donned the costume of our own pokemama and created a charming army of electric mice. With rallying cries of pika pika we attacked with a horrifying onslaught of cuteness:

    At first it seemed as though that such a mass of Pikachus was merely coincidence. Little did the Tifers know that this terrifying sight was no happen-stance. The Pikachu army continued to attack without relent and aimed to strike at the least expected moment!
     
    [hide=Pikas strike Image Warz!]
    [/hide] 
    In the middle of our attack, we had a defector in our midst! Rather than feature our beloved Pikachu, the traitor deployed a chocobo and had the gall to call himself chocomama. We were easily able to thwart this poor imposter's attempts...
     
    [hide=Chocomama imposter!]
    [/hide]
     
    Our legion did not go undetected for too long. We began being grilled by Tip.Iters, demanding enlightenment and posing questions about this monstrosity. Panicked questions in IRC, shoutouts in game, everyone was desperate for answers.
     
    [hide=HYT chat demands answers]

    [/hide]
     
    Finally it came to the point that others began to spread the legion of Pikachus. Whether it was out of love for the terrifyingly sweet Pokemon or knowing the doom of the inevitable, the invasion was unstoppable...
     
    [hide=The invasion could not be stopped!]
     
     
    [/hide] 
    Once Halloween night drew to a close, our little Pikachus returned to their one true master known as pokemama. Though we were delighted with their rampage, it is time to remove our costumes and oncemore resume our former identities. The Crew apologizes for the mayhem we caused with our shockingly confusing escapade. Be warned though...this may not be the last you've heard of the legion known as THE PIKACHU ARMY!

    I gotta need for speed! I seem to be leveling at crazy fast rates :blink:...you guessed it, I'm already at 91 smithing! I shudder when I see I have nearly 50k gold bars mined and smelted by my own hands (well err, my avatar's hands). How long can I really keep this up? Each level ticks away away like the minute hands of a clock...counting down the moments till I hit this epic 99. The familiar bitter-sweet feeling I had with 99 mining has returned with this final leg of my journey. Yet again I must accept the fact another far-off goal is coming to a close. It makes me imagine what will RuneScape be like once I have achieved my two most desired goals? A question for the ages is it not?
     
    [hide=Level 91 screenshot][/hide]
     
    My mining xp is just rolling in by the truckload and I have a >400 rank on the hiscores. My pickaxe's ravenous hunger cannot be quelled...it merely craves more and more ore :twisted:!
  7. Lady_Shahdie
    No...just no...have I really made it to the last stretch? I'm in shock - do I actually see level 90 smithing on my skills tab? I DO!
     
    I'm in a euphoria almost as great as the one I experienced when I reached this leg of my 99 mining journey. Tons and tons of gold ores were thrown into the fire in hopes of at least making it this far. Looks like it has truly paid off. To actually be able to smith a weapon that was so dear to me in my F2P days...a rune scimmy...is surreal :shock:! The last nine levels don't feel as intimidating as they should be and I can literally feel the end of my journey within my grasp. No going back from here...its on to the Final Stretch!
     
    [hide=Level 90 screenshot][/hide]
     
    This level up has come with the added bonus of passing the 17 million mining xp mark! Its just climbing, faster and faster, to new heights...
  8. Lady_Shahdie
    IT CAN'T BE TRUE! It isn't possible that I am merely 1 level away from the epic 90s...BUT IT IS! I have achieved 89 Smithing! This mad slew of smithing has caused my gold bar stack to near 30k bars...all mined by my merciless pickaxe :twisted:. The next level is getting farther and farther xp wise but my determination is just becoming greater and greater. The day is drawing near when I will don the cape of both a master miner and a master smither. I'M STOAKED!
     
    [hide=Level 89 screenshot][/hide]
     
    Besides my smithing madness, I've had a huge slew of mining xp rolling in kicking me up to a >500 rank on the highscores. I gotta a smile going across my face bigger than the Grand Canyon ^__________________________________________________________________________^ !
     
    I also updated my pc in the wee hours of the morning to Windows 7! I'm loving how snappy this little OS is. Nothing but bright beginnings and a sweet future ahead...
  9. Lady_Shahdie
    Oh my goodness, another blog post so SOON?! Yes thats right, 88 smithing is finally mine baby! I can now smith up to full adamant yowza :shock:! I am feeling as satisfied as I did those many moons ago when I was chipping my way towards 99 mining. Though the leveling is going to get harder and harder, just as it did before, my will is almost even more strengthened than last time. I also did not know whether I would be willing to smith gold bar after gold bar in hopes of a method that would provide me with 99 smithing free of charge. So far this has spurred me to mine 18.9k gold ores to smelt at my disposal. Though this is quite a large and impressive number this is only a smidgen of the amount needed to 99. We'll see how it goes, I will continue mining and smelting them till I tire of the process and wish to level another way :).
     
    And yes I finally did get access to the Edgeville Furnace...
    [hide=Level 88 screenshot][/hide]
     
    Besides gaining a truckload of ores and bars I've hit the 16 million mining xp mark! I never envisioned being 1 million xp (let alone 3 million xp) over the experience required for level 99. This has had a positive effect on my mining rank and put me within the top 600 miners of RuneScape. I don't think I'll ever be insane enough to go for 200 million mining xp but I cannot tell you how happy I am to have even gotten this far. I just can't ever seem to put my pickaxe to rest though :grin:...

    Horrible Leveling

    By Lady_Shahdie,

    Hey all! My leveling is going splendidly and my gold bars have finally surpassed the original amount I had smithed! If all continues to go well I may amass close to 170k gold bars by the time my journey is over...that is unless Jagex creates a super awesome smithing update that makes leveling nearly as free for me as it is now! The Living Rock Caverns have truly become my new home and there's not a rock in that place that doesn't tremble in fear when I arrive :twisted:. Ok maybe that is an exaggeration, but I am not letting a single concentrated gold vein have the least bit of rest heh.
     
    In other news, I have found a new addiction lately besides mining in the caverns and smithing my bounty, I have become a fan of the amazing web-musical known as Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Yes I admit I was a VERY late adapter of this awe-inspiring musical but at least now I finally had the chance to see it and enjoy it. For the past week it was all I could ever watch as I toiled away in the dark depths of the mine. If you have never had the pleasure of seeing this horrible collaboration by the Whedon brothers...then you must see it now:

    Hallelujah! It has been done, I'm at lucky 87 SMITHING! My gold bar stack is over 10k once more and I could not be happier :grin: . I truly wonder if I can continue gathering my own gold throughout this whole journey? I think I can! I think I can! I THINK I CAN!!!
     
    Eat your heart out the Little Engine that Could!

    Cats Snore

    By Lady_Shahdie,

    Hello again blog readers! As I sit here wearily smithing at a godforsaken hour of the night...I discover something very amusing. Apparently cats can snore! My cat has decided to rub it in my face the fact that not only is she a nocturnal creature but she beats me to bed every night :rolleyes:. I have to admit it is rather cute seeing her all snug up and blissfully snoozing in her bed. Friends of mine requested pictures and recordings of her sleeping habits, so I obliged them:

    I Have a Face

    By Lady_Shahdie,

    Say Cheese!
    Hey all! Yes I'm posting another blog update already...shocking isn't it? Its nothing really smithing related I just thought this was worth a share and a laugh :lol:. Apparently Jagex has finally given us RSOF avatars (p2p only sadly). I rustled up to the photo booth and got my mug photographed. Its nice to have a face on the forums now but I can't help but find my grin a little cheesy looking:
     

     
    *Curtsies*
    Another interesting tidbit added today is the rather ladylike (or should I say unladylike), curtsy emote. No worries gals, we can still bow just like the fellas, and they can return the favor and curtsy right back! There's a slight glitch however...I don't think the Queen of England would find this an acceptable show of respect:
     

     
    Thoughts?
  14. Lady_Shahdie
    You heard right! Lady Shahdie has a good reason to be Lady Happiness today cause she got 86 smithing! Ok sorry for talking in the third person but I am simply ecstatic :grin:! I had no idea that I would eat through 85 like tissue paper. My gold bars are just stacking up and I am attacking those Living Rock Cavern veins like crazy. Someone please slow me down :lol:...
     
    [hide=Level 86 screenshot][/hide]
     
    In other news, I did it...I reached the 15 million mining xp mark! Things are looking up Tip.Iters! Cue "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"...

    Hello dear blog readers and welcome to my new Tip.It blog, hosted on none other than - THE BLOGS TAB! It was hard to say goodbye to the Blogscape of old but one must eventually embrace change - especially good change! I have done a sort of slightly updated version of the first post on my old blog as the first entry of this new blog. I've changed my real life picture to a more current one (notice I'm still sporting my favorite necklace however :thumbsup:).
     
    Forum Changeover:
    Before I get into how I've been smooth sailing - I mean err smithing- I'll give you little scoops of experiences I had during forum transition. Staff was going stir crazy as we waited for the changeover to near completion. Out of this craziness I ended up giving pet names, namely to a bud of mine from TET, Den Usynlige. What was this name you may ask? Well it was...DENZY WENZY! Poor Den took it very well and the staff has persistently been calling him this name all week :lol:! No good deed goes unpunished however, and I was branded with this custom rank till changeover day:
     

     
    Smithing:
    So that about wraps it up for forum transition fun, now onto smithing updates! During the changeover I jumped 3 levels in one shot (I'M A RUNE SMITHER NOW BABY!) This as you may recall was thanks to some hardcore Living Rock Cavern mining. I have already amassed 13k gold bars out of gold ores smelted from scratch. Sadly I sold the entire stock for some safety cash but rest assured I will save up the entire amount of gold bars I smelt from this point on to see my achievement in notified form! My mining rank as well jumped considerably to the less than 1k mark and I'm headed for 15 million xp quite soon! This has been truly a unique way to level so far and I don't think I'll tire of it anytime soon. So thanks Jagex very much for this highly useful update!!!

    YouTube:
    In other news, I did some YouTube tomfoolery recently and released one of my first non-RSMV machinimas! Don't get me wrong, I truly love making RSMVs as they bring the music to life in such an awesome way, but I wanted just something a little different from the usual for once. Here's the embed of the vid below, hope you enjoy!
     

     
    TL;DR
    I liek teh Tip.It blog tab, Iz an 85 smither nao, Iz getting crazee meining ex pees!

    Tomfoolery!

    By Lady_Shahdie,

    Hello dear blog readers! It would seem that I literally disappeared off the face of the Earth for the past month or so. You can thank my overzealous instructors assigning term paper after term paper :P. But it is a relief to enjoy this little Spring break I have along with the interesting holiday its associated with. Easter? Of course not! The holiday I'm talking about is:
     
    APRIL FOOLS!

     
    Such a day harkens back both comical Tif and Runescape memories. So many that it would be tough to catch 'em all...huh? Don't understand what I mean by that? Oh you will in time ;).
     
    Anyways, to get to actual status updates, I am currently over 80k gold bars and well on my way to reaching the mythical 100k :shock:! This has given my mining xp a pretty sizeable boost and bumped me up to 21 million mining xp. Besides the typical mining and smelting, I am currently in the middle of yet another machinima project. I had it planned a month ago but school has been eating away any chance I've had to work on it. But rest assured, a new film is most certainly on the way.
     
    So with that I bid you adieu and leave you with this question: What has been your most favorite April Fools related stunt?

    Blast from the Past

    By Lady_Shahdie,

    Hey blog readers...
     
    The other night I paged through my old mining blog till morning and it brought back many fond memories. I had only just been a RuneScape player for a few months and was already enamored with the game. I had made some very dear friends who have now retired or are not as active as before (namely John Cable14 and The Foo 1000 <3:). 99 mining was a goal that seemed far off and to me it would be an endless journey that would keep me committed to playing RuneScape. I was also an F2P player at the time, that was a humble level 63, who dreamed of wearing some nice saradomin armor (the god armors of course being the pinnacle of F2P armors).
     
    It was an interesting day at good ol' Rimmington Mine that lead me to becoming a Tip.It blogger. I was chatting with my friend The Foo 1000 via pm and he was keeping me very good company as I toiled away with my pickaxe. He remarked how amazed he was at how I had come along way since we had met at the Lumbridge Swamp mithril mine. When I mentioned to him that I am going to attempt to go for 99 mining, he told me, "Lady you should blog it!" So I took his advice and decided to create a blog here on Tip.It, since I was already a member of the forums, and had grown an attachment to this amazing community.
     
    Writing up my first post on blogscape was a little scary! People don't realize how hard it is to truly introduce yourself :ohnoes:. I racked my brain, trying to think of how people could ever recall who I was, or ever bother to read the babble that I wrote. Then it hit me...whenever I frequented the Mining Guild, alot of regulars there would say, "Look its the girl with a tiara who likes to mine alot! Don't you ever leave?" It was a nickname that gave me a laugh whenever I saw it and thought it was a nice alias to go by. So I stamped my blog with tiara and mining goodness, said a prayer, and finally posted it.
     
    Dusty Footage from the Archive

     
    Since the first day that I blogged, I've had a rush of achievements follow. Its like the community was behind my back, pushing me along, to get me to achieve my goal. I recall posting this entry when I was near 85 mining and decided to do a pretend rune mining run. It was an embarrassing affair and I was almost ashamed to write about it. Despite the failure of it, I had messages coming in from several Tip.Iters offering help, advice, or motivation...it amazed me how much this community cared about my success! Things only got better and better...
     
    So I just want to say, thank you Tip.It community for making me feel welcome then - and for the years to come!

    It seems Halloween is mere moments away and everyone is getting into the spooky spirit! Everyone that is besides my college :(...sadly they do not allow costumes on or around the last day before Halloween. I try to dress up when I can as its an activity that is hard to grow out of :P. Last year I dressed up as a character from Cirque du Soleil by putting together a few things from my closet and applying a feather headdress to one of my favorite theatre masks. There's a chance I may catch Cirque's newest show that is coming to Santa Monica as well! I am uber excited about it!!!
     
    Bird of Paradise

     
    Can't wait to see what Jagex is cooking up for bringing Halloween to Gielnor again :grin:...
  19. Lady_Shahdie
    Lady Shahdie here, pleasure to make your acquaintance! Some who have glimpsed my signature know I was one of the crazed hopefuls dreaming of 99 mining. Well I did manage to dream my impossible dream and achieved my epic goal! The dream doesn't end here though... I have decided for my next test of fate to wield my hammer and forge a path to the glory of 99 smithing! Below you will find a little about myself, details about my RuneScape character, and pictures of my levels along the way.
     
    [hide=Shahdie in Real Life]
     
    I am a 20 year old college student. I am currently attending a Cal State college and majoring in English. I have future plans however to go to Cinema school and get an education in the art of film making. I always had a passion to tell stories and I love the way film can bring a story to life. I was born in America but do possess Persian blood in me and my RuneScape name "Shahdie" means happiness (so you can also refer to me as Lady Happiness :D). I am a total cat person and owner of a mischievous Maincoon but recently adopted a dog into my family. I am a rare breed of girl who enjoys playing video games, computer games, and any other enticing virtual adventure. I am particularly fond of RPGs (probably due to my story telling background). I also love graphic design and try some amateurish attempts in Photoshop (like designing my own sigs and headers).[/hide]
     
    [hide=Shahdie on RuneScape]The following is a run through of my character on RuneScape.
     

     
    Where'd You Hear About RuneScape?
    A friend of mine at school mentioned it once. I became intrigued by his description of it, so I started researching it and decided to sign up.
     
    F2p or P2p?
    I spent a long stint during my RuneScape career as a pure F2P player. While I said in my previous blogs that it was my desire to obtain membership when I personally possessed the meansmy first exposure to it was thanks to a very special gift from a very special friend (Kietaro <3). I now possess members again thanks to securing a reasonable income as a teachers assistant at my university. Members is quite an exciting new experience but at the end of the day, good old F2P will possess the most dearest place in my heart.
     
    Favorite World?
    Randomness is my mantra. I have no favorite world or home world.
     
    Why the Air Tiara?
    I've been getting this one alot lately so here's the story. Ever since I was a noob on RuneScape I always wanted a piece of clothing that would define my look (apart from the terrible looking bronze armor). I would scavenge for chef hats or shop at the Varrock clothing store and wear the items short periods of time before dumping them. One day as I passed the Falador air altar I saw a silver object on the ground that attracted me (similar to the way a child is attracted to "Oooo shiny!") I picked up the tiara and immediately fell in love with it. Even when I matured from noobdom and reached levels where I could wear more appropriate runite gear, I could not bear to give up the tiara and allowed it to be the signature item that would define my look. I certainly love how it goes quite well with my Saradomin now.
     
    Other Stats?
    Though I am truly committed to smithing at the moment, I occasionally take a break from my hammer and casually level other stats...(please don't poke too much fun at their noobiness :oops:)
     
    June 29, 2007 (Beginning of Blog)

     
    Current Stats
     

     
    Why 99 Smithing?
    There were several 99s that peaked my interest during my journey to 99 mining. Despite my old adage that "I'm not really a fighter," combat was a great way for me to take a break whenever I needed to and I'm quite sold on going for 99 def some day. However, I'm still a skiller at heart so I still decided against a combat 99. There were also the other gathering skills such as fishing (catch fishies at a faster rate, yes please) and woodcutting (not as a big a fan of wc however it still has its merits) that are impossible to be purchased. However, at the end of the day, I'm truly a Mason (no pun intended one of the clans I happen to be a member of) of Runescape. And what is a Mason without the ability to wrought amazing pieces out of precious metals? So after answering this question in my mindI knew smithing would have to be the next 99 to chase![/hide]
