After summoning up some courage, here's my pic : Lady Shahdie Out of Her Regal Saradomin and in Everyday Wear...

Well by now I think its safe to say...Tip-it has won! But I was shamed to see how many times even our own leader...Dbzruler72 was backstabbed. The backstabbing was so blatant that it was completely ridiculous and ruining the war (as I posted earlier, I was piled by 6 green capes). Regardless, Dbz, you were an excellent leader. Thank you for championing Tip-it in an awesome way. All of you who made it to the end, I salute you, well done :)! Long Live Tip-it!

Well the war is going in our favor so far but...the back stabbing is terrible! I lasted in this war 31 minutes until 6...yes 6 green capes backstabbed me. I do not know if they are double agents or a band of greedy people but honestly guys, we must stand together! Anyway, it looks like we have a chance, keep fighting valiant Tip-it warriors!

Thanks for rubbing it in Mr. 99 Master! Your post and encouragement however, is appreciated :... Phew, mid-terms are finally over! I am now on Christmas break and boy does it feel good. Got a chance to powermine a sizable 70k mining xp today. I am 150k experience from the next level, 86. I'm hoping to support Tip-it tomorrow for the steel war. I really hope I can make it, seems very thrilling and exciting...do your part Tip-iters, fight our sworn fan site enemies tomorrow!

Though I hate stereotypes...it may exist because RuneScape is a very stat heavy game. Somehow the action genre with mindless gore and weapons seems to be the popular kind of computer/video game now adays. It gives the instant gratification that they achieved an objective of total annihilation within 1-5 minutes while RuneScape takes much longer to achieve gratifying goals. Personally I like the kind of thought and dedication RuneScape takes :.

The thrill of the challenge is what drives me... or insanity, take your pick ! :wink:

Update time! Got one mid-term out of the way and got a chance to log on the other day...took a rune mining trip or two and mined about 20k xp worth of coal. I decided to spend some of my rune mining profits on runecrafting experience, hence my big jump from 1 to 39 runecraft :). I'm sorely missing my powermining sessions at the moment but education calls and I must answer it...*ring* *ring* Oh the phone! (According to the caller ID its Education...catch you all later!)

Hey all...just going to give some mini-updates today! New bank picture is up and my mage level has jumped from the low 40s all the way to 55 :shock:. This was thanks to a couple thousand death and nature runes bought off the Grand Exchange with my rune mining moolah...he, he, he. Might not get much time to train next week, got mid-terms coming up. Pray my RS friends that I do well :pray:.

Hey all! Haven't been gaining much mining xp, only 30k recently. However, I have been enjoying a nice rune mine trip every so often. I've profited 300k in 2 days from the prescious light blue ore :mrgreen: (yes I know you rune mining pros will chime in and say you make tons more than that but I'll take my 300k anyday, thank you very much). In other news, I'm level 70 combat now! I'm not much of warrior so another 10 combat levels is a big achievement for me :. I'll see if I can post another bank picture soon.

The exchange is up and running again. Jagex seems to have finished the maintenance.

Personally I enjoy skilling because I believe skillers help the cogs of the game keep turning. Many skills are production skills and provide RuneScape warriors with the raw materials they need. To be able to produce the life blood of the game makes me proud. When I commence in a clickfest to gather 1k of iron or coal, I know it will head to a smith, who will then turn it into a bar, and then will either sell it or turn it into armor/weaponry for a proud warrior to wield. However warriors, duelers, and stakers are vital too because without them skillers would not have the funds to keep skilling. Miners need their money for pickaxes, smithers need it for ores, runecrafters need it for their essence, crafters need it for their gems, etc. So we exist in a symbiotic relationship with one another. Neither is more important than the other. As far as which is more enjoyable...its a matter of taste of course :wink:.

I have read accounts and watched videos of the past two steel wars...I hope I can make this one, looks like alot of fun. Too bad I will probably die a horrible death in less than a minute if I attend. Tip.It must prevail this time \ !

Very ambitious goals and lovely stats! So going for the agonizing 85 mining, eh? Excellent :D ! Despite it being labeled as a boring, grueling, click-click-click skill...that 85 is going to feel so good! Why not add 99 mining to your goals :wink:? Would give me another 99 mining buddy to check on. Even if you decide not to go for it, 85 is great number to hit my friend. Your time is soon approaching...

For your blog reading enjoyment, I will now describe: Lady Shahdie's First Real Rune Mining Run All pictures can be found inside the hide tags. What a blogtastic weekend this was! My first real trip...was I up to snuff? This will be the last installment in my rune mining series since it would be hard to document every trip! (Click Here for a Description of the First Mock Trip) (Click Here for a Description of the Second Mock Trip) [hide=The Real Deal][/hide] This was it. I had achieved 85 mining and the urge to mine some rune ore overcame me. My good friend Foo accompanied me :. Rather than being a bundle of nerves like I was in my practice attempts before...I felt confidence, strength, and determination. We hopped over the ditch and pressed along. We spoke jovially and did not care at this point about keeping any secrecy. I was just too darn happy... [hide=Was That a White Dot?!][/hide] We made it to Evil Altar and took a moment to recharge our prayer. We were looking forward to heading to those rocks asap. As we kneeled before the altar and requested the blessing of the RuneScape gods...a white dot appears on the radar! All the confidence, strength, and determination were immediately put the test. Foo and I prepared to scrap our way out to safety. We hover our pointers over the warrior and breath a sigh of relief...it was a level 37. Phew! [hide=Ore for a Friend =)][/hide] After making it close to the rune rocks, we went to a deserted corner and I instructed Foo to wait. I logged out and deployed...my awesome new rune rock scout! Due to the basic rules of espionage I will not reveal her name (oops already said too much :-#). I checked various worlds with my new rune rock super sleuth and finally detected one that contained rune without a pker in sight. I logged back in with my main account and instructed Foo to jump to the world I spied on. After about 3 minutes the first ore landed into my inventory and I gave it to Foo for being a best bud through thick and thin :wink:. [hide=On a Roll!][/hide] I was on a roll! My scout was working like a charm. She came into a few close encounters but I hit log out before the ruffians could 86 her. Her helpful intelligence gathering allowed me to successfully mine one ore after another within the span of an hour. After about mining 12 runite ores, I decided it was time to end the trip and bank the ore immediately. I had bid Foo farewell sometime back, so I had to make the trip back alone. Would I really be able to make it out with my precious cargo? [hide=The Transformation is Complete.][/hide] I carefully chartered a course that would take me out of the ideal pk zones. I walked and walked...trying very hard to maintain my sense of confidence, strength, and determination. Level 20 wild came closer and closer, until finally, I had made it. I pondered whether to use my telly runes or make a brave dash to the ditch. Just like last time, I decided to spare the runes and ventured back all the way to the ditch. I had done it...I had done IT. All the practice had paid off. I actually had rune ore in my inventory, had not wasted one lob or telly, and did not have a scratch on me! Thus my transformation is complete. I am... A Rune Miner

Darn I wish I was less of a relentless powerminer #-o, I was trying to wait for tomorrow or Monday so everyone could come and celebrate...well as the big text says below, I did it! Lvl 85 Mining ACHIEVED!!! Achieving Level 85 Mining Screenshot Hiscores Current Rank Though I feel like a heel for not paying attention to the mining xp I was gaining in the mining guild during leisure mining (even cost me the level up pic)...I have made it to the ultimate level 85 mining hooray!!!! Sorry again to Foo who wished to see it so bad but I promise an invite to my first rune mining trip and a free rune ore :D. The culmination of all my hard work finally feels so much more worth it. I truly feel like a competent 99 hopeful now. Thanks to those who have always had faith in me and have kept track of my progress so far. I feel like... Queen of the World! *Titanic theme song plays* (okay I know Jack says "king of the world" but whatever)

I am incredibly close to reaching the much sought after 85 mining :ohnoes:...I'll see if I can log on tommorrow and allow some friends to drop by to see the historic event :). If I am unable to log on tomorrow, you can catch me sometime Monday 1:00pm-4:00pm or Tuesday 9:00am-12:00pm. I am simply ecstatic!

Hey everyone! Hope all of you had a Happy Thanksgiving :D . I recently hit the 3 Mill mining experience mark! I am overjoyed and highly motivated by this. To make things even better...I am less than 100k xp from 85 mining. I can literally taste the rune ore (yuck...I mean yum rune). My small steel bar business is working out nicely. I smith and sell at my own leisure so as not to interrupt my powermining training. Unfortunately 500k earned from the business has already been spent on death runes to train my magic level a little :roll:. I have now created a clan chat channel called: [Mining Ftw] (Mining For the Win). If you are just as crazed a miner as I am feel free to enter the channel and just chat. Those who are not on my friends list can also reach me easier this way for various things and transactions.

Lvl 84 Mining ACHIEVED!!! Achieving Level 84 Mining Screenshot Wow, I'm on a roll this week! After an entirely random session of relentless rockhitting, I happened to hit the remaining 83k of mining experience :D. That should be a sign to you doubters that I'm not planning to quit! Yes I know its not my usual Rimmy rocks site but I decided to have a change of scenery. Not sure how the rest of this month will be for me but my mining flame is lit and it is burning strong. When I hit 85 I'll post a new picture of my current hiscore standing. As far as other blog updates, I tweaked the "Lady Shahdie in Real Life" and updated it with current information :. Thanks for the support blog readers!

Hang in there! The 90s are an accomplishment in themselves! Thanks for the further motivation ...

Time to post a rare update! I have leisurely mined around 70k xp this week in between writing a 7 page English essay. This leisure mining leaves me 83k away from level 84 mining...huzzah! Thanks to all of you who gave me a warm welcome back when I logged in these past 2 weeks. I've been getting pms by the truck load :D. I have also managed to up some other stats and gained a 699 skill total (just one away from an awesome 700 skill total). I have also been pondering to start a bit of a steel bar business to earn a little smithing xp and some cash. I invested enough money to buy a stock of ores for my first 1k of steel bars. If anyone is interested in providing me enough ores for 1k of steel bars I'll pay you a nice 180 gp each for coal and 100gp each for iron : (please do not overload me with sales though). I'll set up some kind of a clan chat so people can easily contact me about it. ...End of Rare Update...

*ghostly voice from beyond the grave* It is I, Lady Shahdie! No worries all! No tragedy has befallen me and no I'm not DEAD. Real life is super busy for me right now, especially when I am trying to maintain a 4.0 average in freshman year of college. I may not be able to actively play RuneScape this year. I may have to wait till next summer when I have the time to spare for RuneScape adventures. I am sure by now Samurai and OMG are RS's newest 99 miners (congrats guys). Its touching that you kept bumping my blog Foo...but no need. For a great remainder of the year it may bear no updates. I'll be back...no worries :-w UPDATE: Been logging in the past few days and just chilling out at the mining guild. If I go on a voracious powermining spree anytime soon I'll update the blog when I reach another level.

May the pick be with you Samurai! Keep it up, you are on the cusp of achieving this ultimate goal :D...

Hey all, unfortunately I did not get the chance to powermine at all this week due to an increasingly busy real life. My goal is going to be a little "back-burnered" so to speak because real life goals matter to me just as much as RuneScape goals :. However, I am still passionate about achieving 99 mining and will powermine to my hearts content whenever the opportunity permits me! Still keep checking this blog if you see the post icon turn orange. I am hoping to secure 85 mining at least by September. Congrats to Samurai Lassie and O M G Guasto on their great progress toward the ultimate 99 mining (my god 90+ mining already Guasto and only 60k left to 97 for you Samurai :shock:...wow)!

Congratulations on 96 (just turn the six over so it looks like 99 :thumbsup:)...glad to see that you super levelers patched things up and that things are back to the blissful state they were :.

Hey all, back from Harry Potter mania! I finally finished the 7th book around Monday evenning (would have finished it much earlier if my weekend wasn't so busy)...and I'm fully refreshed to start powermining again! No xp gains since Friday, so I better get to work! I'll edit the post to reflect any major gains I get today. (Thanks for the complimentary bump Foo :) 12:40 PM PST Edit: Gained 50k xp since this morning, may continue to powermine a bit longer... 1:41 PM PST Edit: Ended the session with an 80k xp gain overall. I'm going to just take a break for the rest of the day now.
