Grats on the recent Achievements Med! Looking good, keep it up! Looks like some noob got in your 43mil Cook xp pic though.

Hey! and Tyvm :shades: Thanks! The only one left under 20M now is Mining.. ;) Tyvm :). I'm not so sure on that 120 DG yet.. that'll take some time and effort.. I need the right kind of mindest, and enough free time to really work on that :P ... Or maybe I'm sane and everyone else is CRAZY! Muhahahahaha! Hmmm nope I think it must be me! >.> Thanks! :] Here are a couple more accomplishments to check off as done: 20M+ All Skills I've finally got all my skills to 20m+ xp. Had BOL not come around, this may have taken a bit longer, but only because I haven't been able to play much as of late. I'm glad I've finally got this goal accomplished now. 200M Cooking - Achieved September 29th 2013 Unlike my 200M Smithing party, I decided to keep this one pretty small.. why? I'm not sure, too partied out from the last one I suppose? :P This was a long time coming, as I hadn't had much time to play.. but finally my 2nd 200M achieved! Most of the xp (from level 99 - 150M XP) came from cooking Swordfish, however some also came from doing Lobsters with urns (150M XP - 200M XP), or other random cooking items. I didn't quite get everyone's grats message in the first pic, so that's where this one came in.

Thanks Barto! :shades: Speaking of 20M Prayer.. ;) I think that's enough prayer for now.. only Mining left when I can bring myself to get around to doing it :P 750M Total Xp 750M Total xp.. 3/4 of 1 Bil! I got this along with 20Mil prayer xp.. just in time for RS3. New Fastest Solo DG Set this new personal best solo Dungeon while I was going for 110!

Double post: See next page.

I haven't posted in awhile as I've been busy working on the purefreetoplay site with Slayas, in between (or during) skilling so I haven't gotten around to posting these yet.. but here are my most recent updates: 20M Ranged Did a mix of both Lesser and Greater Demons to get this :) 25M Craft I decided to take advantage of leather boots for a bit of Craft xp before finishing off 110 Dungeoneering! 110 Dg Finally 110 Dg! 10 more long levels to go.. whenever I decide to work on this skill again. 20M Melee's Finally 20M all melee! I never enjoyed melee combat, pre eoc or otherwise.. but at least the xp is faster now! Just Prayer and Mining left under 20M Prayer will be soon ;)

Hey Everyone, Myself, along with Lord Slayas and the rest of the Purefreetoplay team are happy to announce the release of our new site! The site can be found here: http://purefreetoplay.com. We have gone ahead and moved/transferred over our forums, as well as recreating the main website. This was a massive update and took us a lot of time in development and coding to get this released. This is a great improvement for the site as it allows us to make/add in additional changes we were unable to do before because of limitations with our previous host. For those of you who had problems accessing our old site.. you should now find you can access the new site as well because we have our own domain. That being said, there is likely to be many small fixes, bugs & errors on both the forums and main site. If any one notices any errors, glitches or bugs, please let us know by posting here or on the General Bugs & Errors Thread on our forums and we'll address them as soon as we can. We hope everyone enjoys the new website/forums site and finds it a little more accessible than our previous site. With our new domain you can now look forward to many new changes/updates to the site in the weeks to come! ~Medi -The Purefreetoplay team.

Here's another level taken care of: 109 Dungeoneering! Well just 1 more for 110 now ;). I'm getting close to 20mil Ranged xp as well so I'll likely finish that off before getting 110 Dg.

Thanks Ari :shades: Here's a new level to report ;) 108 Dungeoneering! Just 2 more until that 110 Dungeoneering mark! I've been training some of my other skills up that are below 20M xp as well to break up the Dungeoneering training.. so expect to see some of those coming up as well :). As some of you may have known.. it was my Birthday just the other day. So I decided to see if Jagex was willing to give me a pressie on my b-day for being with them for more than 10 years! The results below: 10 Years! I decided to take this on my Birthday in the hopes that Jagex would be nice and sell me one! But alas.. I forgot the requirement for being a 10 year RuneScape Veteran is to be a Payer.. not just a Player.

Hey Everyone, As some of you may already know, due to some circumstances outside of his control Lord Slayas will have very limited internet access for the next 2-4 weeks or so. So in his absence I will be handling most of the work load to the best of my ability. This is why the lists were not updated on Sunday as normal. I can still contact Lord Slayas if need be, but in the meantime any issues or concerns needing to be addressed with the lists or the site should be brought to me (including updated stat requests). Alternatively, I also have access to our website e-mail address.. so you can continue to send questions and submissions there, or post them here as well. List updated : 05/15/2013 Added: I Eat Sub - (Active Total/Xp, Converted Total/Xp Lists) Ibuki Fuko - (Converted Xp List) Iv4r - (Converted Xp List) Zenten3 - (Converted Xp List) - Removed: Gra Urke - No longer meets requirements (Converted Xp List) Greedy44 - No longer meets requirements (Converted Xp List) Sin To Alch - Went P2p - (Active Total/Xp, Converted Xp Lists) Streetfunker - No longer meets requirements (Converted Xp List) Trajane1 - No longer meets requirements (Converted Total List) - Current List Requirements: Active Total List: 1060 Active Exp List: 31,210,623 Converted Total List: 1471 Converted Exp List: 146,329,273 Skiller List: 621 - @Loyij - We need a picture also displaying your total xp to update you.

Thanks :) People we still need to get in contact with (6months+ Since Last Update): Funk471, Sirhasenfurz, Iggyboy2,Ilovemogtime, Nerd735, Peat77, Dindiin, Loyij (Need xp update) - My apologies to everyone that this update was later than normal, but with Slayas unable to get online much, and being busy myself, we were not able to get this out until today. I would also like to mention now, that next week's update will also be late as I will be away on Vacation for the May long weekend we have here coming up. Assuming I will be doing the update again, you can expect to see it on either Monday, or more likely on Tuesday. Thank you everyone for your patience. Keep the updates coming, and happy Skilling! :D ~Medi -The Purefreetoplay Team

Well I haven't posted in awhile as I've been a little busy and haven't been on RS too much.. but I finally got another level, and should be getting a bit more time online again now :) 107 Dungeoneering! I finally went ahead and got myself another level up. My first one since December of 2012.. 13 more levels to go :-X.. I won't be doing it all at once, but 110 is looking pretty tempting ;)

Thanks :D. I'm glad to have finally made it. As for the siggy, I've been planning on making a new one (though I was waiting on 200M Smith first), so expect that to be updated fairly soon! F2p 200M's ftw :). This one was a long time coming for me! Thanks Kaida! :shades: Tyvm |^_^| It's great to finally have one ;) Thanks Barto! :shades: Thanks Med :twss: I did it somewhere between 5-6pm EST, too bad you weren't online :(. As for now.. there's no definite plan, but yes, I'm thinking some Dungeoneering (maybe 110?) as well as working toward getting all skills 20m+ xp.. I'm currently missing Att/Str/Def/Range/Prayer/Mining. ~Medi

Hey everyone, Many of you may already know about the Pure F2p website Lord Slayas, myself, and the rest of the Purefreetoplay team help run. For those of you who don't.. the website can be found here: Purefreetoplay. For those of you who haven't been there in awhile, there have been many new exciting updates to the website. Including (but not limited to) the introduction of some F2p Skill guides, a new banner/logo for the site, as well as some changes to the basic template/overlook of the website. This is NOT a clan site (so no need to worry about any sort of multi-clanning issues), but instead is a fansite based solely in/around/for the F2p Community. However we can't have a thriving F2p community/fansite without it's active members (especially with all the negative updates Jagex has thrown at us these past couple years). That's why I'd like to let you all know about the newest and biggest feature to our website yet.. The Pure F2p Community Forums! These can be found here: Purefreetoplayforums, or alternatively from a link on our main site. I would encourage you all to visit our forums and make an account - this is still a work in progress (mostly tweaking or adding in new features), but we're active with currently about 40 members and growing. A site like this can't exist without having active members using and participating in our great F2p community :) . You'll find many nice features on our site with many more to come as we work things out. Suggestions and Site Feedback are always welcome as we continue to improve and update the site to be the best we can make it for our users. I would also like to point out, that although our website is solely built around offering support and information to/about F2P players, anyone is welcome to make an account, browse around our forums, and join in on the discussion. If anyone has any questions, suggestions, concerns, or anything else regarding the site, they can post them here, on our forums, or our Tip.it thread and we'll do our best to answer/address them as soon as we can. Thanks, ~Medi -The Purefreetoplay Team.

Thanks Kaida 8-) and yes I will (pics below) Many words could come to mind.. as I've heard many different things. Anywhere from Completely Crazy, to No-lifer, Absolutely Awesome/Amazing and anything/everything in between.. be it positive or negative :P. Haha yep!! Finally achieved 700M xp and my first 200M, Smithing! 200Mil Smithing/700Mil Total xp Achieved! [Hide=Pics in here] A pic taken by me just after getting 200Mil Smith xp. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! This one was taken by my friend at my 200Mil Smith party. Thanks Slayas =) This one I took at the same time I got 200Mil Smith to display/show where I would be in the rankings seeing as F2p isn't on highscores. With inactive accounts/other f2pers with 200M Smith I would figure my Rank closer to 40. Last but not least.. 700M Total xp :D [/hide] I finally did it, getting my first 200M, Smithing! Locking in Rank 4 in F2p (assuming none of us go members). I can't say for sure how many items I've Smithed.. But I'd estimate making at least 750K Rune 2handed Swords on the quest for 200m! 200Mil Smithing Ftw! ~Medi

A few more achievements to post here: 60Mil Mage Xp! Got most of my recent Magic Xp from alching the Rune 2hers I've been making for Smithing.. Mage will start slowing down now that I'm just about done with Smith. 20 Mil Rc Xp! One step of a few to a side goal of mine - getting all skills to 20M+ xp. I currently have 6 Skills left to reach this goal (Att/Str/Def/Range/Pray/Mining). And because this was requested (and for proof that I'm knocking on the door of 200M Smith xp) I'm not sure when I'm going to get this yet. I'm planning to get 700M total xp and 200M Smith xp at the same time. I'm less than 1Mil away from 700M total xp now.. so I expect to get it within the week!

Hey Everyone! Quite the big news and a lot of updates we have coming at you this week! Although Slayas covered the biggest updates (our forums and the addition of the skill guides) there are still plenty of other changes we made this week, as well as more to come. Just a quick note that with the release of our forums, we've also added a link on our submissions page. This link goes straight to a topic on our F2p forums where you can also send us your updates or apply to be on the list (feel free to continue to post on this topic however as we'll still be checking and updating here as well). While on the topic of our new F2p based forums.. We have also added a place for Clans! Our hope here is to get a basis/area where all the F2p clans can post the information about their clans, history, what they're all about, or whatever they fell like posting! By having them all in one place, it makes it not only easier to keep track of the active F2p clans, but it can bring awareness to them and help strengthen the community. There's is also a clan recruitment thread, for those looking to join a F2p clan, and with all the info right there and readily available they can find the clan the best suits them. Skiller presence on our site, or rather lack there of is one thing that's been brought to our attention a number of times. So we've started to add some more f2p skiller content on the site by including some skiller achievements on the achievement page. Though this isn't a lot of content, there is some potential to add additional content there as well as other parts of the website when the information becomes available. There is already more talk about another update for skiller content in the works. Also having updated the lists.. we have put together the picture for the first update of the month. Even though it's still the 31st in North America, It's the 1st in other parts of the world, so close enough! [hide=Active top 250 list] [/hide] Speaking of lists.. We have also been talking about putting together and adding in a new list to the main site! This isn't a guaranteed thing yet, but something we're seriously considering doing. If we do end up doing it may take a couple weeks to put it together and get it up/active on the site.. but we'll let you know if/when we decide to add it. We won't be going into details just yet.. so watch this space. That just about sums up all the work Slayas and I have been putting into update for our site moving forward in the past week. It's been a long week for both of us, so I sincerely hope everyone enjoys the updates and new changes/additions to our site! Happy Scaping. ~Medi ~The Purefreetoplay team.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to drop in and write a quick post about our upcoming changes. First off I'd like to say after applying the capitalization to the top 250 lists, we decided it was a change for the better and capitalized the rest of the website where required. Along with these changes we have also created, and applied a few more changes to the aesthetics of the site, so feel free to drop by and check those out. Also our newest addition (adding in skill guides to the main site) is on schedule and should be ready for release this weekend at the same time as we do the list update. In other news.. and perhaps even more exciting is that our biggest site update yet should also be ready for this weekend. Lord Slayas and I have been working quite hard on getting this newest addition to the site ready as soon as possible, (working on it even now) and are pleased to announce (and are expecting that) it will also be ready for release this weekend! We have a few minor things to work on and fix up before it is released, but we are fairly confident we'll be satisfied with what we have so far. I hope you all enjoy the exciting new changes to come! ~Medi ~The Purefreetoplay team. [hide=*Edit* - Site Display Issues] It has come to our attention that a small group of players visiting the site are seeing an improper combination of the old look and new look. They are seeing a misplaced banner (covering up some of the text) and the flower image we originally had placed in the corner. If this is the case for you - try a refresh/restarting the browser and this should fix it in most cases. If the issue still persists clearing your history/cookies should fix this. **The issue seems like it has to do with the fact that we changed around some of the dimensions of the site to better accommodate our new banner. For whatever reason the cookies installed by our site on your machine hadn't updated/registered these changes yet. So a simple refresh, or deleting of the previous cookies should fix it** Thanks, ~Medi[/hide]

Here is the picture of the first update of the month that Slaya had previously mentioned we would start doing a little while ago. As you can see we have already applied the changes to some of the lists, including the one posted above. The number in brackets with the grey colour is the total level of players including their p2p stats above level 1 (with the max of level 5 in any given p2p stat of course), while the white number represents their f2p total level (with the 9 level 1's). The levels of each will be changed and updated appropriately on a weekly basis as we receive the updates. ~Medi ~The Purefreetoplay team.

Thanks 8-) Will do ;). Though I'll be taking a little break from cooking while I work on other things. (Such as Smithing ^.^)

Agreed. Like I said, my guess is as good as yours as to why they'd limit it at the p2p max combat level - or even limit it at all, but this appears to be the case. I can't see any other reason for the xp nerf to presumably only effect those in the 90-138 combat range. I may have worded it incorrectly in my original post, but that's why I added the note at the bottom stating this was only done in and based off of a solo Dungeoneering environment. I was well aware it was based on average combat level of the party, and of the ever popular "2 Combat, 3 Skiller party" work around to bring the party level average under 90, while still allowing for efficiently completing floors (especially for large floors of course). Maybe a test could be carried out with consistent variables of someone at the lower end of the scale against someone in the higher end of the proposed scale (90-138 combat) to verify that this "sliding scale" nerf is still in effect - further adding support to this idea. ~Medi

I wanted to bring back this topic, the topic of the supposed *NEW* Dungeoneering xp nerf. I know this has been discussed many times, in many different places, but I have a theory, backed by my knowledge of the History of Dungeoneering, and some of those involved in it's creation. My theory could explain, or at least shed some light on to what I think is going on with the supposed new xp nerf. But before I get into that, I want to shed a bit of light on the early days of Dungeoneering. **A tl;dr version is available at the bottom of this post, though the information provided below will help explain the arrival of my conclusion** Shortly after Dungeoneering was released, it became apparent to members and free players alike that the xp rates were faster in f2p. This was because of how much quicker, and easier it was to complete the dungeons without all the added members material, and the lower level cap on monsters in f2p (the max prestige was also 35 in both f2p and p2p at the time). So Jagex implemented what seemed to be a quick fix to stop them from losing members who found it more efficient to train in free worlds - an xp nerf for anyone 90 combat or above (or the average level of the party being 90 combat or above) in f2p. A Jmod by the name of Mod Trick was one of the lead developers of this project - presumably the one who added in the code for the xp nerf to players above 90 combat in f2p worlds. Now we fast-forward a couple of years to the newest "big" update by Jagex - Evolution Of Combat. This update of course brought us a lot of new content, such as new armour/weapons, the action bar, or abilities.. but what I'm most interested in to help support my theory is the changes in Combat levels. We've jumped from a max combat level of 126 (or 138 in members) to a max level of 200. It has already been "Proven" or "shown" that the "Xp nerf" ends at 138 Combat. Which can be seen here: [Hide=F2p Dg xp Nerf] [/hide] So all of this got me thinking. I have a friend who was friend's with Mod Trick. Through this friend.. and to the best of my knowledge Mod Trick, for whatever reason, no longer works at Jagex. That's not overly important to my Theory, but it is the point in which I took a step back and had this idea. I thought to myself.. What if when the code was written for Dungeoneering it was written to nerf the Xp of f2p players with a combat level anywhere between (and including) 90 - 138? If the Mod who wrote it is no longer with Jagex.. wouldn't that information potentially get "lost?". You can propose the argument that yes - max combat in f2p was 126, but maybe Jagex had some specific reason as to why they put the top end of the xp nerf as the p2p max level (I have many guesses as to why they may have done this, but my guess would be as good as anybody's guess, and the reasoning is ultimately irrelevant anyway, so I won't share them here). Thinking about this logically.. it makes sense.. they have a minimum level cut off for the xp nerf, so why not a maximum! This was a couple years ago now, so why not make max p2p level the cut off? No player can ever get above 138 Combat anyway right? After all.. EoC wasn't yet in the works - or at least seriously enough for it to be a concern with Dungeoneering at the time, so 138 maximum cut off.. just makes sense! So what does this mean for us now? Well.. my Theory here is that the f2p Dungeoneering xp nerf was not changed, removed, or altered in anyway at all! In fact.. it almost appear's that they either forgot to change/remove it.. or forgot that it even existed/or was live in game all together! We still have the exact same xp nerf we had in Dungeoneering Pre-EoC, unaltered and unchanged (not accounting for the increase in xp for smaller parties of course). The only difference being, we've now discovered the maximum combat level they applied the xp nerf to. The old maximum combat in RuneScape - Level 138. The nerf in xp was for f2p players 90 - 138 combat (yes even though we could only reach 126). Now that I had this theory in my mind, that actually seemed quite plausible to me.. I needed to test it somehow. I wasn't about to make a new account, and train it to 69+ Dungeoneering, under 90 combat to test my theory so I bounced the idea off Lord Slayas, and we got a couple alternate accounts we had stored away to perform a very basic test of my theory.. and here are the results we came up with. Lord Slayas alternate account - 114 Combat - Solo Dungeon - Floor 1 - Complexity 1 - 10% level Mod - Small - 0 Deaths - 1 Prestige - 8 Rooms - 49 xp (Rounded up to 83 xp) Medieval Kid's alternate account - 62 Combat - Solo Dungeon - Floor 1 - Complexity 1 - 10% level Mod - Small - 0 Deaths - 1 Prestige - 6 Rooms - 96 xp (Rounded up to 174xp) As you can see above.. every variable we could was kept consistent except for that which we are testing. That being that the xp nerf effect's players within the ranges of 90-138 combat (the level 138 combat nerf has been tested already, and some results for that can be seen in the hidden quote earlier in this post) . Unfortunately neither Slayas or I had an account within a couple levels of 90, but these result clearly show the difference in an account above, and below 90 combat, and that Slayas got about half the xp I did (96 / 2 = 48 xp). The "rounded up xp" is what our total Dungeoneering experience was upon completion of the Dungeons. If you are to check - 83 is the xp for level 2 in a skill, and 174 is the xp for level 3 in a skill. For those of you who don't know - Jagex rounds your Dungeoneering xp up to the nearest level for the first few levels to help you out when you're first starting to train Dungeoneering (So I included those numbers as well, as it is our actual Dungeoneering experience). You may also notice that Slayas had 2 more rooms in his Dungeon than I did. This may or may not account for the odd xp after applying the xp nerf to my xp, or taking it off of Slayas xp. Alternatively the odd xp could simply have to do with some rounding in the xp calculation. I believe the xp nerf was never removed from the game, and is applied to players with a combat level in the range of 90-138. I invite and encourage others to also test out this theory if they want. Perhaps someone who can keep all the consistent variables the same with combat levels closer to 90. Though I do believe my theory will still hold up, and is quite likely the "xp nerf", it would be nice to have some more tests or confirmation of this. This is why I think some f2p players are still experiencing nerfed xp rates while Dungeoneering. ****TL;DR Version**** I believe the original xp nerf was never removed from the game, thus causing players with the combat levels between 90 - 138 to experience a drop in xp rates. Upon further investigation and testing of this theory it appears to hold true, and seems likely to be the reason why some players are receiving reduced experience rates in Dungeoneering. ************ This is unfortunate that we have to deal with this, but at least we have a much better alternative than before. If this is the reasoning behind the xp nerf (and I am fairly certain it is), you can avoid training Dungeoneering between the combat levels of 90 - 138. Instead of being trapped in an eternity of less xp once reaching 90+ combat in f2p, the best advice would be to train your combat level up past 138 (once reaching 90), and then resume Dungeoneering for the non-nerfed, standard xp rates. ~Medi **Please also note that this was only tested in a solo Dungeoneering environment. I did not test any group settings, so I'm not sure how the xp nerf would apply to groups with an average combat level within the 90-138 combat range, or individual players with a combat level within that same range in a Dungeoneering group (2 or more people).

Welcome to TIF and Blogscape. Nice start to the blog and gl with all your goals. F2p ftw ^.^ ~Medi

Kia ora :), Welcome to TIF. Good start to your blog and good luck with your goals. ~Medi

Grats on 100 Dg and 25m Fm xp, catching up to me in both :ohnoes: . It looks like you better hurry and find a way to lose about 6M Constitution xp so you can level that up as well :o. Speaking of catching me in skills, where's that 99 Mining! I know how much you love training it, so I hope to see that soon ^.^

I do now :P. Though to be fair, Mage is one of my higher skills for sure. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll pass my Mage xp ;)
