Hello. Nice to meet ya. If you wanna chat, you can hit me up in RS. Or drop by the hyt friend chat and talk to a lot of people.

Well, school is no joke. Since OSU witched to semester I’ve been forced to enroll in 4 courses to stay a fulltime student. Normally I’d be upset. I tried a 4 class load before and it was horrible. But lucky for me a semester is about 15 weeks and classes are a tad longer. 4 and 3 days a week classes are about an hour while the 2 days a week classes are an hour and 20 minutes. Lab are still long 2 hours or more, but hopefully I’d wouldn’t have to deal with that. But with school here and work study in most my days, RS playing will decrease by a bit. It’s likely to become a weekend thing. Speaking of RS I got 80 defense thanks to a long black dragon slayer task, and a few white knights to chew up a bit of exp. Along with all that and 2 quest came 57 agility, 46 hunter, 76 attack, 79 constitution, and a 105 combat. Now only 5 more combat levels, and 10 quests to go until Dominion Tower. Much to my disappointment, I have done any dungeoneering, which means it will take longer to get 80 Dung and chaotics. While I can wait (quest are more important right now) I’ll be mighty jealous going monster hunting with friends with chaotics. But 200k tokens don’t seem far away one day at a time. I also want to lvl hunter as high as possible, so 50k exp a day a play seems possible to get there quickly. I mostly 74 hunter (70 just to get to herblore habitat). At that lvl I can get supplies to make farming boost. In my never ending quest to make money, getting this lvl would boost profits by a lot. Until next time.

My biggest problem is, I'm lazy. and I have a love hate relationship with dung. But I figure I can do 1k a day and wait for chaoctics. Heck, I'm not monster hunting much these days.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog. And that's been due to lack of interest in the blog or laziness. That will pick up sometime when school starts. Speaking of which, in about 2 weeks I will be headed off to my first day classes. I will be laving home August 16th, then helping students move in August 19th. With so little time left I'm actually neverous going in to my senior year. I got a lot to work on... I've also been playing a leveling and questing. I completely failed at my mining task of 90. Mining gets pretty boring in the long run, and the exp difference between level is horrible. But I guess that's the joy of getting a 99, knowing you punched through 1m exp + to get there. With that said i'll be doing a lot of quest. I figure questing will force me to level and give valuable exp. So my goals still stand. 70+ P2P/80+ F2P levels.with mining being the first I met, I'm looking at defense and farming being second. Lastly, I've decided to stay P2P permentaly. In the back of my mind I knew this, but I didn't think P2P would have so much I'd enjoy. I'm pretty sure some months I would be able to pay for membership but overall, I plan to stay as P2P. So while P2P i will quest and do slayer. I also need to earn 1k dungeoneering tokens a day for chaotics, but quest are more important now. When RS come back online, I'll up all the skills I level'd. I can solo KBD and duo Kal. Queen successfully! Grow snapdragon for profit! Use a terrorbird for monster hunting. Until next time

Sorry for the double post but just posting to say that I have completed the quest.

I'm looking for someone to do Hero's Quest with me, or someone who has completed the quest to assist me. I need a Black Arm gang member. If anyone can help me out, I'd apperciate it. Please PM me in game at Polarbearblu or PM me here. Thanks.

I seriously regret my idea to study Biology over the summer. I am finding it realy hard to do and to be honest, I'm behind. the subject in the first section is so boring and I'm moving throught it slow. I can only catch up if I first two weeks or material in one or add and extra chapter to each week of study. I really don't wanna take this class at school and knowing I can't transfer community college credit over, this is the only way. The next 5 weeks are gonna hurt. But I gotta grind now. Other than going to the beach and lvl up nothing much has happened. as to my goal I'm all over the place. Still haven't went back to mining, instead I've decided to get 70 prayer and do all the quest/minigames that will get me piety. I had just enough money to buy big bones for 70 prayer, thou I should have saved up for dragon bones. But somehow i'm getting away with doing a mix of both and I have about 900k left over. I suppose I should thank the bones I already had in my bank that I was saving and slayer. In any event, having 70 prayer would make monster hunting a ot easier as I can bless gravetones and with piety, I can increase my hits. A relief considering my terrible stats for monster hunting. I'm currently at 68 prayer, with enough b bones/d bones to get me there. If not I'l have to diy and kill some dragons. Which is fine since I need the cash anyway. Until next time, happy 'scaping...

For the past three day Chicago has had triple digit degree weather. Today was 103. By tomorrow afternoon, however; it should cool down. Other than the hot weather I had a pretty fun weekend with my boyfriend. Since by brother and mother were out of town I refused to sit at home alone most the day. Friday I went over his house and watched 2 horror movie (one of which was also a comedy, thou both were funny >:D) Saturday we went to a family BBQ and Sunday we went to the Shedd Aquarium and I took plenty of fish pics. We stood in line 2 hours and it rained as we were walking there. being the broke college kids we are we only had general admission, but a nice older couple visiting the city gave use tickets to the aquatic show and wrist bands that got us into all the exhibits. That was really cool of them. Because I couldn't use flash (or should not have been) so pics came out odd but I got to see the new jelly fish exhibit they had. In runescape I've been slacking big time. Prior ro 81 mining me and a few HYT chatter tried to do Bandos, with me as the tank. I went horrible, but I lived. I was then well on my way to 81 mining when I was asked to go to Zammy God Wars. So I've stopped mining to do slayer in hopes of raising my range to 70. We'd need a tank and I was sure they'd unreasonable make me do it. Instead we went to Chaos Elemental but I died after getting hammered badly. Nonetheless I got 52 slayer and 77 defense. I don't know how far I'll go, but I've started doing farming again. I'm just farming herbs not make money because eventually I'll start fletching and construction. I also need money for nature runes when I start super heating. Lastly, I bought a 90 day RS card. they ucked me in with the flaming skull that they did. So I'll be P2P for an extra month. Until next time

I demand a house party! Oh and good luck. :thumbsup:

God must have heard my prayer in my post, because it rained the next day, even if it was just for a few minutes. And since then it has been cool and comfortable. However, I heard on the news that it would be hot, even today. I have yet to feel the heat and I'm hoping it doesn't come until Sunday. As far as real life goes, my life is not as exciting. I basically exercise (or attempt to), study biology, and runescape. However, I plan for it to pick up. My boyfriend and I had came up with a list of things to do this summer before i go back to school and when intend on doing 1/3 of that list. Some of the ideas are things we regularly do, but other thing like live concerts and stuff are new. If things go according to plan, I will be busy every weekend this summer. In runescape I got a few levels and done a few quest. 40 agility, 42 Construction, 76 Constitution,61 Magic and access to Ancient Magicks. I still need 70 magic and/or 55 slayer to try some new techniques for Barrows before the Combat Beta messes it up. And speaking of Combat Beta... I am a bit surprised I got in as one of the lucky 50,000. My clanmate who is also a members is kinda jealous. H e assume he won't see me for the next two months. and while it's true I'll be in the beta for a bit, I still have other goal to get. Still, I'm pretty excited. I tested it out for a few days since and it's a totally new experience... As far as mining goes, I've been slacking. I am 79 mining now, but I felt like I was gonna burn out, so I went to do other stuff. Now I have to get back in the game. I hope I can go from 79 mining to 85. With almost 1.5 million exp to go, I'd take me about 15 days to reach it getting 100k exp a day or 12 if I strive for 125k exp a day. So in two to three weeks time I'll start slayer then go for the big 90.

I wish I had a money pile to depend on like that.

I was just browsing the blogs and came across your entry, only to realize how bad I was at this game. In any event, good luck on your goals.

It is really hot in Chicago. Complaining about the weather doesn't really solve the problem, but how many summer must I go in this heat? 90 degrees outside feels like 95 in my apartment, and the lack of a air conditioner that can run with the TV on is bothersome. In bed, in the kitchen, on the back porch, anywhere is like hell. I need someone to save me from this heat, I need rain. Aside from the heat, I've started summer school. Okay, not really. More like, I've started to self study Biology. My plan is to student over break then test out come the first week of school, Reviewing how Chemistry and Physics 2 went, I was to avoid taking a science lab class with other courses not GECs. Hopefully it will work out for me. Last thing I wanna do is get to my last semester and panic over a biology grade. In RS I actually made 78 mining thanks in large part to LRC. While sitting on world 77 it become almost AFK-able, so 100k exp a day is now a reasonable amount. It sucks I have to run RS in min settings and I could very well die here even with armor. But ignoring those problems LRC is pretty sweet. So much so, I actually boosted to lvl 77 to mine the coal down there, so much so my combat stats were in the single digits at one point (8 across). I must have drank like 55 Dwarven Stouts. Very dangerous, but worth it. Aside from watching bots die, I actually made 43 thieving and 76 defense while doing the barrows minigame. Being 19k from a constitution lvl, I hope I can hit at the same time I grab an attack lvl since I'm 42k from there. I've also been questing, the sole purpose of it to get rewards, one in particular. I actually enjoy Barrows a lot, so to make it profitable and easier I'm working to a Draken necklace (?) and Ancient magic. In any event, I hope tomorrow in cooler. Probably won't thou. And as always, please post.

I never understood the use of hunter as a skill, and honestly, it doesn't sound very fun. But good job with those levels.

Well I sure try! You will be more than successful, I'm sure. Well, I did some Slayer. I finished a task and now my 120th task in a row is Kurasks. I might do that today, but I haven't quite decided what to do right now. I still need more money to complete my Construction goal. And then my Prayer goal as well. No levels though! sorry! Please Post!!!!! Do a quest! Do a quest!

I see your point. but then then begs the question "why do we use help guides on games?" But with redoing a quest, you'd first have to have completed the quest. And not everyone would be like "Oh sweet I can do it again!" It'd be more like for people who say "I really liked this one. Since I'm bored..." or "My friend just told me about this one way to do a quest. Gonna see if it works well" sort of deal. But I see your point.

Your name looks familiar Hunter, very familiar. Oh well. Welcome back sir.

Thanks for the input, and I remember that tread. I actually supported it thou I thought it was long lost. I agree with Troacctid on that. With the updates given to members and such it doesn't seem to hard to pass over old low end quest to F2P, especially if they are almost self contained in F2P parts of the world. and in no way do i want QBD to be F2P, as funny as it sounds. KBD, however, I can see possible and even if not, Elvarg. Basically, all I am saying is to allow player to pick a quest they liked doing and allow them to redo it. Jagex doesn't even have to give rewards. However, I know of some players who have fond memories of a quest, and few who have mentioned they'd like to redo it. It's basically like adding more replay value to a game.

Give us more room to add more songs to our Runescape playlist or give us 2 more additional playlist I know not everyone listens to RS music. I tend to enjoy the soundtrack to Okami more than Al-Kharid. But there is some RS music I love. For example, I enjoy almost all the Dungeoneering music and the song from the quest Songs from the Depths included that music added in the Rimmington update, as well as almost every holiday tune I have unlocked. I would like to be able to have more playlist space to add songs, or extra playlist for when its the holidays and when I unlock new Dungeon themes with new music. Turn the coal bag into a coal/iron/gold bag I can only imagine this bag at current useful for smithing thou I have used it for mining in the past. Itd be pretty neat if like gravite and chaotic weapons, we could charge our coal bag to carry other ores. For cash or a combination or tokens and cash the reward trader can change our coal bag into and iron or gold bag. Quest reset For a pretty easy quest, I loved Songs from the Depths, and I wish I could replay it. Itd be nice if Jagex gave us the option to reset 5 of our favorite quest to replay. Ill explain. Suppose you enjoyed The Fremennik Trials quest and want to redo it. Jagex allows you to reset the quest to not done it (or once completed). You of course keep the experience you go from the quest and the abilities to wear the helms but you restart the quest from the beginning and all of the NPCs act as if you have not done the quest, so say you cant use any of Rekkella resources, nor do you travel to Waterbirth Island for free. You get to enjoy the quest again and try new ways to complete it.As an incentive for doing the quest again you might receive a 1 time reward of 2 experience lamp or reoccurring but concurrent reward to buy one of the Fremennik helms at GE price from the shop in Rekkalla regardless of weither it is cheaper or not. You can reset 5 at once but after completion you have to wait a month to redo it. You can quit the reset at anytime, but must wait a month to start it again. You can do the quest as many times as you like, but you only get the exp lamps once or if you did not claim the helm reward the first time, it will not add on (if you dont claim the reward you cant buy the helms at GE price twice.) Update F2P range to include low end crossbows. Allow the coral crossbow (not royal) or up to a mithril crossbow and mithril bolts to be F2P. Make KBD F2P or rehash Elvarg to be a F2P boss Sorta unrealistic perhaps, but as the oldest RS boss I think it is possible. Currently F2P can only hunt revenants, which isnt very exciting. Jagex can make KBD F2P. Obviously F2P wont be able to get certain drops and KBD would be extremely difficult as F2P. But it would add more excitement to the free world since KBD location is dangerous and is just about the only boss I can think of that can be done with F2P gear, although extremely difficult with things like the prayer pot, antifire pot, or antiposion (cant get poisoned in F2P so this would be so much as an issue). Or rehash Elvarg to be a bigger, badder, strong dragon for F2P to hunt after the quest. Have it so that F2P must complete the quest to access Elvarg version 2.0 which requires 70+ in attack, strength, and defense, 43 prayer and whatever else to make her exciting for group hunts or solo if you can. You can still do the quest with 60+ combat stats and mithril armor if you wish (I did) and kill lvl 83 Elvarg but then you can discover some dark magic has bung Elvarg back to life and she is strong than before at some high lvl (estimating 200). Well that all.

I have to agree here. I mean, I'm in no way efficient and I haven't been members for a long time. but if you can do something really well then bots shouldn't be a problem. I've also been accused of being a bot so many times in the past and now. Most of the time I have chat off or I ignore you if you are not really saying anything important. Or I could be multitasking (I read and runecraft at the same time so I don't read the text box at all). Every once and a while I have to type "I am not a bot" and engage in conversation so I can keep from getting reported. But if bots are really that big or a problem, you can do 1 of 3 things. 1)Quit 2) Move to an entirely different server 3) Become more efficient It seems a bit unfair I camp world 75 (93 before it disappeared and when I was F2P) and I'm not Portuguese but at 475 people in the world, I doubt I see any bots. I mean, the entire Dwarven Mines is near empty, at almost every time of day/night. And if I do see a bot, well, that be the way it works. People will cheat with incentive to do so.

I just first wanna say that nothing feels better than busting out in Queens "We are the Champions" after final. I admit, I didn't do too well on my Money and Banking final (most of time was spend on Macroeconomics), but I passed all my classes and my GPA went up a tiny bit. This fall, I'll hit the ground running... With school out the way and only biology to student before the fall, I'll have a lot more RS time. so when I'm not chillin' with friends, studying, or exercising, I'll be scapin'. after getting the initial "WOW" out the way I've decided to go back to my original plans, sorta. I find it easier to mine in the dungeoneering resource dung on a members world than a F2P. Plus, there is a deposit box so close I think getting 65k coal will be a bit easier. so I've decided to mine until 90 which is about 65k coal and 35k iron. I'll then be able to smith my ores and get 80 smithing without urns. To break up the bore that comes with it I'll do herb runs from time to time, and construction. I figure it's possible to get a lvl every 1 or 2 days so I hope I'll get done in a month. Plus I really want 55 construction for a armor stand. I play Barrows a lot since I can do it by myself, and it's relatively easy to do so long as you have prayer. I also made it a point to get a certain summoning lvl, 52 to be exact. I took a peek around the AOW in the forums and found Kent's summoning guide. after reading and trying it I decided to do his advance method. So after mining all my coal I'll likely break and do a lot of slayer to gain charms for summoning. Doing slayer will allow me to also work on my range or defence, thou I've found I like doing attack too. I also found that using XP lamps toward summoning will help. Lastly, I'll be do 1 quest a week, probably on the weekend. that way, I can access dungeons/earn some pretty useful tool towards monster hunting. And of course, exp is wonderful. So in summary: Mining to 88 > Slayer to 60 > Mining to 90 > Slayer to 65 > Smithing 35k steel bars > Slayer to 70 Inbetween: Construction 55, herb collecting to get to herblore 60+. Weekend questing. My ultimate goal for now is to get 70+ in all P2P skills and 80+ in all F2P. For now those skills are mining, smithing, farming, herblore, slayer, summoning (Fletching only after mining/smithing). I only decided to do construction so I can use my own armor stand and host small house parties :D. Thou, 55 construction isn't necessary since I can go to the house party world and fix armor there. I think I can do it.

Oh my goodness. You get a lot of stuff done in Runescape I swear. I hope my members is as successful as yours. I feel like blogging it helps but I haven't been doing much of that... But yeah, do slayer. I mean, if anything slayer appear more fun because of the variety of monsters.

I've been having this all day. Worked fine until 20 mins ago. First it was this bug. The RS would just outright kick me and wouldn't load. When I finally got it to work I would sometimes log in and have 0 health, 0 prayer, and summoning point running down since my BoB was still out (so glad I had yet the enter the Bandos Boss room). All types of crazy [bleep] is up. Like, what the heck?

I honestly love the random events. They can come at inconvenient times, yes. But even if they take 15 out of my "busy" schedule, I enjoy it. I actually look forward to thm when doing long training. It give my mind something free to think on.

...in members. I mean, wow. I know it will get boring after I finish all the quest and get 65+ stats, but wow. There is just so much to do. This game is jammed pack with content that I think, justifies it's cost 9in terms of money). So for my first week of members I did skill and monster hunting. I had planned to do a lot quest, but I forgot just how much some quest can suck. Fremennik Trials was fun, but long... and got frustrating. But the real frustrating part wasn't the quest, it was the monster hunts. I died 5 time since monster hunting and tele'd out of danger so many times you'd think I was Houdini. I tried God Wars, Dagannoth Kings, Kalphite Queen, Barrows, Giant Mole, and King Black Dragon. Sadly, I can only do the last three without failure (KBD in a group only). I also fell in love Farming and Herblore and I have a strong desire to do Summoning. I just hate that I have to do combat to get those charms. And the places are pretty cool too. So, my plans about earn 99s as a F2P, out the window. I have accidentally earned exp in every F2P skill but cooking and Runecrafting. So that plan is done. But you know what, it's okay. Aside from P2P excitement, I have final coming up, so I have to study. I'll be playing a lot less, doing only herb runs for study breaks. Hope finals go well. Anywho, happy 'Scaping. I'm gonna go try Construction now.
