I'm getting right around a 240k average experience over about 50M experience there, without ibis, abyssal lurker, or gloves of silence. A clan mate doing them with me says he gets closer to a 300k average with all of that, but honestly I think that is a bit of a high estimate. Pretty much put it on par with pyarmid plunder with experience rates, but a lot more loafable, I honestly read or watch tv while doing it most of the time just spamming "5" on mousekeys. Its also about 0.5 gp/exp profit XD.

Still skilling along, but once again changed things up. I've decided to finish off 200M thieving first, would really like to secure a nice rank there and I really enjoy thieving. Not to mention its fairly nice experience too. So official now, I'm on the hunt for 200M thieving and currently have about 113M to go. I'll be aiming for 10-15M experience in it a week so will be about three months to do it. I'll be switching between traders and pyramid plunder depending on how motivated I am. I really need ibis for traders so will try to force myself there a lot more then usual so I can get the set before I'm too far into the goal. As for my 50M base goal, it will no doubt still be there. I actually recently got 25M fishing experience, but the slowness of the skill bores me XD, will likely crawl it up to 50M will fish flingers a few times a week. Otherwise here is a look at my stat change since this blog was posted: New quest today was fun too, tad bit disappointed in the difficulty of the boss, just ice barraging it, it went down in 1 try.

The npc named after Larryr? It is the person you purchase the Runecrafting cape from in the Runecrafting guild

Agreed on the tip.it thing as well :P during busy months I fully quit Runescape to focus on work or college, but still when I need a quit 5 minute mental break I still check tip.it.

Sub-12 is decently sustainable in a legit(5:5) team, so 4-5~ floors an hour is pretty sustainable.(Average like 130k or so xp\flr?) EDIT: What'd you change to 50k? EDIT2: I'm assuming you changed slay from 50k to 75k? Assuming you are 99 all and stopped dungeoneering at 120, I think it may be better experience per hour to get 200mil doing daily challenges. Doing a daily challenge differs a bit depending if you do it with a team of 2 or more the dungeon can take 2 minutes or less even. Say for a rough estimate that you have to teleport to Burthrope afterwards and the dungeon time to be 5 minutes a day for ~190k experience (~180k for the challenge and around 10k for the dungeon, could possibly be better off averaging 200k for 5 minutes, but I'll aim for a lowball estimate). That would make dungeoneering a 2280k an hour (12*190k) after 120. This is similar logic as farming experience an hour. Downside would also cut out any random experience from dungeoneering doors. But either way worth considering.

Top 15 Most Experience Update (November 25th to December 1st) Quick Highlights Highest 3 Gains in the Top 15 this week: 1.) Jake (+35.188M) 2.) Robbie (+24.714M) 3.) Number1 Boss (+18.041M) Rank changes: - Jdelacroix passes Elvis for rank 4 - Robbie passes (and gets a bit of a lead) on Number1 Boss for rank 12 Total experience gained by the top 15: 175.068 M Full Update Edits: Corrected words that were missing letters and properly put Robbie at rank 12

Sounds like a pretty good month to me, especially looking forward to the first two updates. Worried about the new D&D statue update for trimmed comp friends XD. Hopefully it isn't time limited like shattered hearts is... think people with trim will be mildly annoyed at a few months to go it back :P

Think you got 90 minutes before it starts bud. Double drops have been active since the reset yesterday (SOF/challenge reset) and we get the experience aura at the same time.

"Yes I had the full works security wise. My hotmail was breached (using gmail now) - and they managed to change the password of the account, and then change the e-mail for the account, in less then an hour. They then somehow managed to disable jag, get through the bank pin and wipe me out, I was unable to recover or get anything from jagex in the last two days or recover anything due to lack of e-mail owner-ship. Cheeky buggers even tried to get in to dropbox, other e-mail accounts and other networking sites, luckily no banks. I was doing my best to counter it as it happened, but it's difficult when your account isn't associated with any e-mail addresses you control. First time I've been hacked in 8 years, I am very secure for obvious reasons. Whoever did it, to be fair, is a professional." There's not much else he could have done. Kingduffy was a long time running dual moderator as well (that is what he means for "obvious reasons"), so he understands being safe as well. I know exactly how he feels because exact same thing happened to me about a year back. Hackers managed to get into my aol email and it was all over from there. Not much you can do to stop a hack once they get through your email. For me they must of spent a huge amount of time guessing passwords for my email, or more likely using a password guessing program, as I was never keylogged or anything of the sort and sounds like the exact same thing happened to the King. After being drained and losing modship its sorta heart breaking to begin again. Even though money is not extremely hard to regain its annoying to have to do it if you were well off before and modship is not a thing to play for, its just bothersome to explain over and over where your crown went, especially for a person as high profile as Kingduffy. I completely understand where he is coming from in his post and I hope to see him stay around, but fully understand if he doesn't. He was a good guy the few times I managed to speak with him in passing so will be hard to see a great player like that leave over a random hacker getting lucky and breaking through his email. The more annoyed part that I share with Kingduffy as well is that the hacker didn't stop at Runescape... luckily I was able to head off a Facebook and University email hack from it, but they still tried to.

I think dual cmaul might beat vine whip+eee... But! for dual cls and rapier it is pretty even and I plan to experiment with it some today as well. Vine whip is level 75 so just 5 below the chaotics but also is fastest speed (compared to cls and rapier's fast speed). On top of that if money is an issue there is no repair cost with vwhip+eee and to cap it all off you get the passive effect of eee healing you. Not a bad combo at all. Thank you for the strategy on skeletal wyverns too Druv :P will have to unblock them and try again. Tried them previously with a cannon in the old slayer spot for them and was ravaged pretty badly :(

The thought of "Rs2 Servers" really reminds me of what I'm seeing with the RSB Warring community (the p2p clan war community) right now, which I was apart of for many years. Pretty much only one clan has even decided to give EOC a try... the rest have decided they will whine to high hell and start warring on private servers. Two major things really bother me with that: The first is the EOC is a chance to breath need life into warring. RSB Warring has been basically the same for the past four years, the only change is a few gear upgrades, but the format and strategies are ... predictable. I understand not liking change, but completely resisting change frustrates me. It is not if they are quitting either, none of them plan to leave Runescape, they just plan to play on private servers instead which will soon raise its own problems of hackings, poorer programming, and the risk of Jagex getting it shut down as it is copyright infringement. Second problem is something I see in every single game I've played and I'm not sure if it is a problem with foruming communities or if its a problem with me. But it seems in every major game's forums, the forumer's feel they know whats best for the game more then the developers and with that comes almost a sense of entitlement. Now I don't mean tip.it at all in that, its honestly why I've migrated here from the RSB (Runescape Official Forums) because there isn't that sense of entitlement here (and far less trolls as well). Now sure, the gamers spend more time in the game then the developers, that is just the nature of the relationship. But gamers in their feedback will always have a ting of bias in what they don't like. An example of what I mean is the sticky in suggestions on the RSB for changing the crystal key chest as Jagex plans to update it's rewards. Some of the suggestions are wildly unbalanced such as switching the dragonstone to an onyx or new crystal items with every key, etc. because people want to make money off there stock of crystal keys... Well if everyone uses their stock of crystal keys to get hoards of onyx then the price of an onyx will be that of a dragonstone within a day. Typically I have more faith in the developers to keep the long term success and enjoyment of the game in mind better then the players. Now that isn't true for everyone, but I think for a game's community as a whole it is true. I'm sure anyone will take a few maxed cash stack without stopping to think if the free maxed cash was offered to everyone also then the money would soon be worthless. Okay! Huge digression in all of that but I get across what I feel about the community still threatening to quit over EOC. This is why I'm not in favor of throwback servers at all for "Rs 2." I suppose in closing, in the build up to EOC's launch I wasn't looking forward to it at all. I had concerns of it changing slayer for me and making it unenjoyable, but just by waiting and giving something new a fair chance, I bet many of the people still against EOC might actually like it or find something new it in they do like. I still hold out hope that all the RSB warrers will play with their private servers for a few wars and get sick of it and come back and adapt to EOC.

Nope, not even close :P. Make a trip to Taverly's Dungeon and it is just like "normal." Noticed some bots at black demons, while on slayer task, using the defensive healing ability too. Could see bots full out ability spamming soon I'd bet.

1.7M slayer experience personally since EoC and no effigy. My Kingz, yesterday, was at around 3.7M without one as well. The reduce in combat level seems to have made for a pretty heavy second effigy nerf :( Congrats on the awesome gains. Two random questions: How did you make Skeletal Wyverns decently survivable? Any info on Living Rock Creatures, don't want to unperm block without hearing some test values. Had some hopes with there high hp they might be fair exp/hour

So I've been bad lately and not updating as much here :(. Since last update I have gotten: 80M Thieving experience (thieving now on hold until 50M defence and slayer) 50M Magic experience (mining/superheating right after EoC) 40M Defence experience (slayer after EoC) Just shy of 36M Slayer experiene Here is a current look of where I stand with my 50M base goal: I want to finish up 50M Defence and Slayer first, while doing this I plan to fish during the week when I'm busy. I'll be flyfishing at Barbarian Village and if I have time will do Fish Flinger games every 20 minutes. This can average 110k fishing experience an hour so hop to make fair progress towards 50M fishing along the way. After 50M slayer I have a list of a few goals I want to achieve and not positive on the order: Finish making the money for 50M Prayer and Farming 50M Prayer 200M Thieving I think I'll make the 300-350M for 50M prayer and farming first, then restart my daily tree runs (put on hold again to ensure enough cash for 50M slayer), and hammer out 200M thieving after. The reason I'm pushing 200M thieving is there is still a chance for a decent 200M rank in thieving. After that it will be 50M prayer time and after that it is likely mining and smithing.

I think mainly out of laziness currently XD. I know he keeps planning on starting tree runs soon and actually has all the tree seeds needed for 200M farming banked. He originally held off to hammer out combat and the other 200Ms he quickly got without having to take breaks twice a day to tree farm, but now I think its just forcing himself to do it. He also originally held off as he had enough time left on getting 200M all that waiting on farming for a few months wouldn't matter. I'll poke him when he gets on later today and see if I can get a better explanation (think he is at family's house still for Thanksgiving so will have to see when he pops on).

Top 15 Most Experience Update (Thanksgiving Edition) (November 18th to November 24th) Quick Highlights Highest 3 Gains in the Top 15 this week: 1.) Drumgun (38.7M) 2.) Jake (30.1M) 3.) Paulrat3 (22.0M) Rank changes: - Drumgun passes Jd and Elvis for rank 3 in overall experience. Congrats :) - Paulrat3 passed inactive Telmomarques for rank 8. Congrats :) - Still a close race for rank 12 between Number1 Boss and Robbie with under 3M still separating them. Total experience gained by the top 15: 222.037M Full Update Edits: Fixed weird sentences, placed Paulrt properly in rank 8th, and fixed misplace words.

I take the good with the bad and with an update the size of this one there is bound to be a fair amount of both. For me this update was EoS, Evolution of Skilling. There are a few different things that the action bar has made more enjoyable, the two biggest being mining and fishing. Now of course this update can make both completely afkable and some people love that, but with some effort these skills are now easier to be efficient in. I'm sure everyone knows that mining and superheating is quite a bit easier now. It is the same speed as before, just easier to maintain good experience rates without mousekeys. In some ways gives an even playing field to those that don't know how to use mousekeys or are too lazy to. The biggest thing I'm loving currently is fishing. Currently I'm fishing trout and salmon at Barbarian Village, which is a tad unexpected, but Barbarian Village has always been a better place to fish than Shilo as the spots don't move as far. You just had to drop with mousekeys, now with the action bar they are quick to drop. But there is another element that could make it rival c2ing: Fish Flingers. I've not been able to keep less than 8 tickets since this update just fishing 10 minutes outside at Village between games. Seems extra flinger tickets are caught based on how many fish you catch so I've been getting about 1 ticket between each game. Currently going to see if I can power through this for my champion box painlessly and also getting atleast 90k-100k fishing experience at a much less effort level than c2ing. Plan to experiment today see if i can get it to the experience level of c2ing. Most likely though c2ing itself will be faster as guardian doors and clearing in c2s is much faster now with the different abilities, so I look forward to playing with that as well in the future see if 100k woodcuting and fishing experience an hour is possible now. Furthermore there is slayer which has changed quite a bit with this update. Pretty much the task list is flipped the good tasks are now bad and the bad tasks are now good. Dagannoths are weak to mage and attack with range so they will violate you with a pineapple, but steel dragons and many other questionable tasks are much faster. Seems this update could do much more for skilling then combat XD.

Top 15 Most Experience Update (November 11th to November 17th) Quick Highlights Highest 3 Gains in the Top 15 this week: 1.) Drumgun (+28.5M) 2.) Jake (+26.7) 3.) Kingduffy (+21M) Rank changes: - Number1Boss hopped ranks 12 and 13 to be the new rank 12th. Officially this week Allar leaves the top 15. If anyone is familiar with a quick history of Allar's skilling history I'd love to hear it. Total experience gained by the top 15: 182.554 M Full Update

A few pages back he mentioned he changed 200mil smithing calculations to be done at Artisan's Workshop since quite a few people do it there instead of combining it with mining. Its not uber efficient but the afkablity makes it more enjoyable for most previously. Could see if EOM (evolution of mining) makes an argument to change it back.

Well... it has been quite abit since the last full update and I guess I have too much free time Sunday mornings ;). Here is the latest look at the top 15 with quite a few changes since the last update due to the double experience weekend. I changed up the top 15 a bit since the last time I made one to make it a bit quicker to compile and maybe a bit more straight to the point. I'd love any feedback on it. As it stands right now I should be able to turn these out Sunday mornings unless A13d wants to update again, more then welcome to ;). Top 15 Most Experience Update (November 4th to November 10th) Quick Highlights Highest 3 Gains in the Top 15 this week: 1.) Jake: +32.2M 2.) Drumgun: +29.7M 3.) Robbie: +13.0M Rank changes: Quite a bit since the last due to the Double Experience weekend and the huge competition in the 12th-15th ranks. For the update this week I decided not to feature specific ones. Can note that since the last update a month ago Paperbag has fallen off the top 15 Total experience gained by the top 15: 172.992 M Full Update Total experience gains of the now top 15 since last update (October 4th - November 10th): 1.) S_U__O__M_I: ( +11.69M) 2.) Jake: (+157.24M) 3.) Elvis: (+86.34M) 4.) Jdelacroix (+127.42M) 5.) Drumgun (+181.28M) 6.) Elias (+42.63M) 7.) Almostlost (52.93M) 8.) Telmomarques (+0M) 9.)

Been a week since my last update so sounds like a good time for another one XD. Been primarily thieving and fletching. The theiving is still dwarf traders and even manage to get a nice picture for a new signature (figured the other one was getting old). New picture even gets to show my new primal keepsake armor that took a few hours to fully get (still somewhat want the helm). Recently hit 70mil thieving experience today: For the fletching, I've bought a stack of adamant bolts and plan to use them with my weekly fish flingers as not to exp waste ;). Figure 200mil fletching might be a future down the road goal, possibly after 50mil all. Here is a look at all my recent progress since the last look: With EOC coming out in 10 days I'm halfway excited for it. I really care nothing for the new combat system, what I'm looking forward to is the new and easier mining+superheating gold method that is with it that makes dropping a whole lot faster. So on the 20th I plan to switch to working on hammering out 50mil mining and smithing XD. Aiming for around 80mil theiving by then. Also been sticking to my daily tree runs and should hit 40mil farming experience next week as long. Furthermore still loving the daily dungeoneering challenges and should hit 116mil dungeoneering experience tonight. And to wrap up the update, here is an entertaining post from EE's chat:

Selling cropping lessons ;) Good luck bossing, bring home some bacon XD

Very nice, congrats! Any long term goals for slayer?

Heard from a few different people now that Drumgun has been merchanting pretty hard for the past year in Nex and SS cc. Think he may become more relevant in the running for 200m all, maybe not the first but good shot of being there one day.

Very high reaching goals. Best of luck along the way. I enjoy reading high level blogs so I look forward to reading about your progress :P
