Good luck on your max cape goals :thumbsup: You've got some pretty nice stats.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIMME FREE STUFF

3 more levels at once again tonight. Mining is my only level holding me back from 87+ all, but I won't be leveling it until next week sometime: I did ZMI for ~350k rc xp yesterday and today. My original plan was going to be to ZMI until ~93k xp from 87 so that penguins points this week and troll invasion would get me 87, but I had a *minor* change of plans. I decided to go ahead and just finish up 91 runecrafting within the week so that I am done actually crafting runes for good. This is my starting xp right now: I plan on ZMI'ing to my xp goal (which ends up being 89, close to 90), at which point I will finish up the varrock, falador, and fremennik elite diaries for 470k xp in lamps, cash in 32 penguin points for 72k xp, and use my troll invasion xp book for ~64,160 xp, totaling 606,160 runecrafting xp real quick, sending me straight from 89 to 91 runecrafting. After that I'll finish karajma's elite diary for an additional 140k runecrafting xp. This means I also need to get 92 firemaking within the week for the adze so I can do varrock elite, and 91 fishing so I can boost to finish fremmy elite. This plan changes up my plan for maxing quite a bit, seeing as I'll be using runecrafting to open effigies now rather than summoning. I have the charms for 99 summoning already, so that won't be a problem. My original plan was to level both agility and runecrafting from 94 to 99, but that has to change now a bit. The plan is still possible for agility, but seeing as I cba to spicy stew for runecrafting, I'll be at least 97 runecrafting (from opening effigies and assists) before I open my gorged effigies to max. Seeing as Runecrafting after 91 will be leveled via assists and opening effigy stages, all dragonkins that would have gone to runecrafting will now be redirected to mining instead.

Yeah they help a lot. I did ~240k xp/hr with ZF at lvl 85-87 which wasn't too bad. I'll have to go get more ZF before too long though. I use a setup of 4 juju hunter (4) and 8 ZF (4) w/ 4 or 5 arctic bears. Lets you stay there for quite a while.

Still hate hunter as much now that you unlocked draconics? Are you using zammy favors at all either?

Good luck. One tip: Save your effigies and open them yourself. Trust me.

Here, have a sandwich on me! Oh, you dropped it :(

3 more levels at the same time. 86+ all stats now: The same 3 levels plus runecrafting until 87+ all stats. 356k from 87 runecrafting, so after troll invasion and penguin points for this week I'm still going to need to ZMI a bit to get it caught back up. I'll do that this weekend if I have time. Right now I'm going to head back to Glacors though to take a break from skilling to test my luck with effigies and boots. EDIT: Just did 1 trip with no boots or effigies, just 4 shards. Gonna call it a night now so I can get enough rest for work tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to at least go for 87 thieving and construction, and if I have the time I'll do 87 mining and begin working towards 87 runecrafting.

How much are flakes/spores/sticks/staves going for now?

That's just something I made up for fun. T.E.F. stands for The EffiGlacor Files (which can be found on my first post) which I made up. It's basically a log tracking me killing 10,000 Glacor kills. The 11.1% represents that I've killed 1,110 so far.

Did a few trips to the LRC putting me about 208k from 86 mining. This weekend I am going to try to get 87+ in all skills (will do pengs + troll invasion for runecrafting then ZMI the rest), and maybe some Glacor trips. Seeing as I had extra cash and shouldn't be using the GE anytime soon, I put in derp offers for stuff that won't ever sell. This is how I merch.

Awesome. Thanks.

I haven't done the holiday events much in the past, therefore I have almost none of the unlocked emotes. When hovering over the emotes I don't have it just says I need to complete a Halloween/Easter/ect. event to unlock. Does doing the Holiday even once unlock all of them for me then? For example I have several Christmas ones locked. Will I unlock all of the Christmas ones by doing the event this year or just one? Thanks.

Camped Glacors for a long time tonight. Managed 6 trips (225 kills total), doing a farm run every 2 trips. No boots, although I have a feeling my time for them is coming soon. I did manage 3 more effigies, putting me at 140 banked now. 86 Thieving didn't happen, as today was a pretty busy day at work. I'm finishing up finals next week, so I'm not sure how much I'll manage to play this weekend, but we'll see. My main priority right now is getting my 10k Glacor kills accomplished so I know how many effigies I have, and can train my skills accordingly to reduce xp waste later on (also get plenty of money for buyables :P).

Nice blog and progress :) I've always considered trying a DIY account, but can't come to grips with not training my main the entire time I play, so I'll just continue to watch your progress instead. Keep it up!

I haven't ever used stews really. Not sure what the odds are of getting a 4 or higher positive boost (no way I'm ever trying for a +6, seems too rare). I might consider it when I have a lot more effigies to be opened at once.

Didn't really have a chance to play much yesterday at all, but I should be able to today. Going to do a few farm runs this afternoon as well as 86 thieving possibly. Caution: don't read any further if you don't care of lots of numbers and calculations. Got bored and had some free time to sort out my current effigies (41 starved, 56 nourished, 28 sated, and 12 gorged) into different tabs so they're easier to open when the time comes. I also took the time to calculate how much xp I have waiting in each skill just from what I can see and am at this so far: 630k mining xp (180k starved, 260k nourished, 100k sated, 90k gorged) 340k agility xp (200k nourished, 50k sated, 90k gorged) 320k herblore xp (60k nourished, 200k sated, 60k gorged) 535k firemaking xp (195k starved, 180k nourished, 100k sated, 60k gorged) 180k woodcutting xp (150k sated, 30k gorged) 790k construction xp (240k starved, 420k nourished, 100k sated, 30k gorged) I know most of these won't be opened for a while anyway (gorged won't be opened till I max obviously), but it still excites me to see how much xp is really going to start rolling in soon. 232 effigies grants 20,880,000 xp just from opening, but seeing as I have some stages opened on many, I still aim to gain 18,340,000 xp from opening the remaining stages (plus the 10M+ xp from dragonkins on agility and runecrafting). Theoretically speaking though however, given the rate of effigy drops at glacors (approx. 1 in 68), I stand to possibly gain 134 more effigies from the 9,115 more Glacors I need to kill, which would put me at 271 effigies rather than 232. This means I could potentially stand to gain 21,850,000 xp from opening effigies in the future, as well as an additional 1.7M xp from dragonkins, which would value the rest of my effigies from this point on out (+ the ones in my bank) at approx 33.5M xp. Given that all gorged and lamps are going to be used the day of my maxing, that grants me almost 20M xp gained from effigies that day, at which point I will also be using all of my blue and crimson charms from Glacors (estimate having ~18M xp in banked charms by 10k kills), as well as some other possible saved xp, for a goal of 40M xp gained in a 24 hour period. I'm sure this isn't nearly as impressive as some of the xp gains other plays have made in the past, but it sure would be nice for me.

Only 3 skills holding you back from 90+ cape. Grind for a few weeks on all those tbh ;-)

Made a trip down to the new slayer dungeon. Managed 3 sticks and managed to turn them all into staves, as well as about 3k flakes and some random seeds. After all was said and done I only made about 2M profit. I doubt I'll be going back down there. I ended up buying enough surges so that I'm at an even 10k now, as well as enough supplies for about 20-30 more Glacor trips that I'll try to make in the next several weeks. I also looked around on an old computer I forgot I had and found some screenies of me playing from a while back. My old main prior to the one I have now: First time I took a picture of my stats I believe. Old main also. It's crazy to think my highest level in this picture is now my lowest level now: Another random pic. Funny that 92 fletching was my highest skill then, and I still haven't gotten 92 on my current account: A picture of my first shield half drop (from a turoth). I've had a total of 4 (1 turoth, 1 shadow warrior, 2 abyssal demons). I believe I sold it for about 1.5M: This is my current account back when it was a f2p pure. All non combats were level 1, and my highest combat stat was maybe 50? Back then I never thought I'd level it to what I have today:

Browsed around on an old computer I had and found some pictures from a while back. It's a shame I didn't take more :(

I dont really understand the effigie system, it came before I started to play again :P What you need them for, I know they get you exp. But how far will they get you? :) Nice progress ! Each effigy has 4 stages to unlock which require levels 91 (starved, gives 15k xp), 93 (nourished, gives 20k xp), 95 (sated, gives 25k xp), and 97 (gorged, gives 30k xp) in one of the following skills (paired skills are random): Herblore* or Hunter Fletching* or Woodcutting Cooking* or Firemaking Crafting* or Agility Runecrafting* or Summoning Farming* or Fishing Construction* or Thieving Smithing* or Mining * = skills that can be assisted from each combo. So for example, say you got an effigy and it said you needed fletching or woodcutting. You could either open the first stage yourself and earn 15k fletching or woodcutting xp (depending on what skill you choose and whether you have 91 in that skill) or go have someone assist you in the assistable option (in this case fletching). After opened, it would become a nourished effigy, and would require a different pair of skills mentioned above, but this time at level 93. You would repeat the process until you've opened all 4 stages. After you've opened the gorged effigy yourself or via assisting, you get a dragonkin lamp. These lamps give a great deal of xp in any of your skills, although it's advised to save the lamp for a higher leveled skill for better xp (~43k xp on a lvl 95 skill, 48k xp on a lvl 99 skill for example). I decided to save all of my effigies and open them myself (granting me an additional 90k xp in random skills per effigy rather than giving that xp away via assists) and save the dragonkins for agility and runecrafting. 116 dragonkin lamps used on each skill starting from lvl 94 will get me 99 in both skills in about an hour or so, saving hundreds of hours of actually training the skill. Sorry for the long response, but I like to be thorough :)

Inb4 I'm 2476 total with max cape. Thanks! Only 95 more effigies to go :P
