    Finished my goal of 93 Hunter tonight. Of my remaining skills Hunter is definitely my least favorite. Hate not being able to do anything else due to the high apm blah blah blah, but I digress:

    Did duo plunder with AusDG and got 93 Thieving as well. Just so happened I got it on the last urn of the last floor right before running out of time. Got maze'd right afterwards so I guess it was good timing. Did just over 260k/hr duo-ing, which is 30-40k more per hr than I get soloing, so I'll try to take advantage of the situation more often:

    Nothing exciting other than that. Might try to go for 94 hunt/thief tomorrow or just focus on one or the other.

    Spent a fair amount of time plundering this evening, getting this shortly after starting:

    Quit for the night at 320k off 93. As mentioned earlier, my short term goal is 95 thieving and hunter while saving for more broad arrow supplies (at least 40k more for 95 fletching, 95+ all skills). Haven't had much luck lately, as trollstol are only breaking even or only making very slight profit, so it may very well take through the weekend to pay for the remaining 40k arrows. I'm confident I'll be able to afford all 474k eventually though, as I've got plenty of other skilling to do that will take up time while farming.

     

    The plan for tomorrow is to do some hunting, with my sights set on at least 93. I finished gathering supplies this evening for the last batch of hunting potions I'll need for 99, so that's taken care of finally:

    If I'm feeling up to it/have time, I'll go ahead and top off the day with 93 thieving as well, but it just depends on long hunter takes. I'm pretty confident I can have 95 in both taken care of before the start of next week by the latest so that I can start livid farm and get 95 fletching in the process.

     

    Now about this July 29th shenanigans. Going to try my best to make it happen, as it seems feasible after having figured out how much longer everything is going to take:

     

    Fishing: 52 Hrs

    Fletching/Farming (+ Livid Farm): 39 Hrs

    Hunter: 35 Hrs

    Woodcutting: 34 Hrs

    Thieving: 28 Hrs

     

    I slightly overestimated how long a few skills would take to balance the minimal time 99 agility would take on the side. In total I'm looking at ~188 Hrs until Max Cape, and feel pretty confident in being able to make it happen. My only concern is that I may have troubles making enough money for the rest of my broad arrows if torstol profits don't recover soon. Worst case scenario I'd need to camp ganoderps for a bit or borrow money from someone.

    After spending more than enough time in the LRC I finally got one of the longer 99s out of the way:

    Shout out to an angry aussie for a free 336 hour dpick lend.

     

    Anyway, with that out of the way, it's time to begin working on thieving and hunter a bit. The plan is to get 95 in each (for 95+ all) while doing torstol runs in the next week or 2 to finish buying livid farm supplies:

     

    120612002751.png

     

    As you can see I've already got the runes covered, but need 324k more arrow supplies which will run me about ~35M or so. Even if I don't have all the arrow supplies by 95+ I will probably start LF anyway. I stand to gain a fair amount of farm/agil xp that I don't want to "waste" so I might as well get it out of the way sooner than later. Afterwards the plan will probably be a pretty simply idea of 96+, 97+, ect for the my last handful of remaining skills until max cape.

     

    Max by July 29th still seems pretty far fetched, but isn't completely crossed out of my list of possibilities yet, so we'll just have to see.

    Got this:

    and this:

    120610012543.png

     

    Finished up using the rest of my mad may necklace afterwards putting me just past the 12M mark in agility xp. Factoring in all of the random xp I stand to gain without actually training agility on my way to comp (JOAT, Penguins, Troll Invasion, TT XP Tomes, Misc XP Lamps, Mort Diary lamps, Livid Farm Agility XP, ect), 99 agility will probably be achieved before the end of July, along with 99 farming at my current rate.

     

    Spent the rest of my evening camping in LRC once again grinding out 99 mining in hopes of having it done by this weekend:

     

    120610013943.png

     

    Also got a stupid fish mask today from sof. Sold for 2M because that shit's never going to be worth anything and bought some more broad arrow supplies. GE-offers pending, I'm up to 160k broad arrow supples. I'm going to shoot for 190k arrows (95 fletching) along with livid runes before starting, at which point I should hopefully have/be near 95 thief/hunt also to begin rounding off my levels.

     

    Your blog is cool. I read it all.

    It`s really weird how much you hate smithing, and love dungeoneering. I am the exact opposite. :razz:

    Keep up the exp rates, and the blogging. :thumbup:

    Thanks, glad you like it. Aside from possibly doing artisian's workshop in the future, I'm most definitely done with smithing lol.

    Did Troll Invasion and penguins yesterday along with JOAT for a quick 132k agility xp. Afterwards I spent a little time training agility at BAA between torstol runs as well. I'm only 27k off 98 farming, and 110k from 98 agility with plenty of Mad May necklace remaining, so those will both happen today. Hoping to get 99 mining sometime this weekend also, putting me only 40 levels from comp cape.

     

    After 99 mining I'm going to slowly work towards getting an even level base going (92+, 93+, ect) rather than burning out in individual skills. Seeing as 99 farming and agility will take very little time (torstol runs & random xp rewards), that leaves only Thieving (PP), Hunter (Dracs), Fishing (C2), Woodcutting (Ivy), and Fletching (Broads) while doing Livid Farm to worry about. I've got 25% (120k arrows) of my supplies for broad arrows already banked, so granted I can manage to pull together 9M for livid runes before 99 mining (brb selling Angry Aussie's pick to make him Extra Angry Aussie), I'll most likely be starting phase 1 of livid soon.

     

    Again, my time played each week varies a lot, so it's hard to determine week-wise, but I'm looking at less than 200 gameplay hours until Max Cape which is pretty exciting. I imagine I'll achieve it sometime this summer with the remaining completionist cape requirements filling up the rest of the year afterwards, which is fine by me.

    Apparently I need to grindscape more for more posts.

     

    Didn't stay on much longer after 98 mining, so I'm still sitting 1M+ xp away, which sucks. I took a small break the next day to do some agility with the mad may necklace. After penguins and troll invasion this week, along with using up the rest of the necklace, I should be within 900k-1000k off 99 agility.

     

    I'll pick up mining again here soon in hopes of getting 99 within the week.

    Been doing hour long trips at LRC for mining with a torstol run between every other trip for seemingly forever now. Finally hit a decent checkpoint:

     

    TkjXe.png

     

    Accounting for the herb runs, not-100% paying attention, and some overall shitty troll rock spawns (brb all gold/coal going down at once), I'm average just over 60k xp/hr with jujus + yak. At the time of writing, I'm 1190k, or just under 20 hours away from 99. Not really tired yet so I may continue to chip away at that goal [/lamepun]

     

    Was very tempting to go ahead and use the Mad May necklace for mining to get 99 done faster, but I've decided to continue to save it for agility. 4 hours of actually running laps sounds boring as hell, but it changes the ETA of 99 from 3 months away down to 2 via dailies/misc xp/ect, so I might as well.

     

    No real solid plans for what to do after 99 mining, but the idea is to probably start fishing or woodcutting, as I kinda want to finish up that right column of 99s. After some thought, rocktails sound like a bad idea (~100 hours of rocktail fishing to make ~25M cash vs ~50 hours of C2ing to save 100M in valued time @ ganos for instance). Woodcutting will probably still be done at ivy, however. I'll take a 30k/hr xp loss in turn for afk-ness in that situation.

     

    Aside from that, torstol runs have increased my net wealth rather well. Xp-wise, I'm 153k from 98 farming. I should have that early this next week, along with 98 agility after I've taken the time to use up my Mad May bonus and done 2 weeks of penguins + troll invasion. I've gone ahead and started stockpiling broad arrows (seeing as it's my only money-sink left) with torstol profits, in order to have everything ready by the time my Livid Hell Marathon rolls around. In total I need 474k, in addition to the 9M in runes I'll need to pay for at some point:

    Warning - Shit beyond this point is not likely to happen

     

    When I started playing Runescape on this account on July 29th, 2010 I took a screenshot of my current statistics, ect. After taking a 1 year progress picture exactly a year later (can be seen on first page), I thought it would be cool to have a max cape on the next annual progress picture on 07/29/2012. It's far fetched, yet still sleems slightly possible, so it's a minor goal for the time being. I've basically got 2 months to crank out my remaining levels, all of which add up to about 200 hours of skilling in total, so it really just depends on how everything plays out.

     

    Other minor goals, such as achieving the completionist cape in 2012 and under 5k game hours played most definitely still seem realistic, but for the time being the one mentioned above seems quite the opposite. But what the hell, I may as well have some crazy goal to work towards if I'm bored.

    XP Rates

    in Help and Advice

    Posted

    I need some XP rates for the following training methods. Don't factor in auras or clothing bonuses:

     

    • Ivy
    • Teaks w/ adze + juju (wc xp only)
    • C2 fishing
    • Draconics w/ witchdoctor/bear/favours
    • Plundering 91+ both with and without SOTG. Also curious if it's beneficial to rush all the way to floor 8 and leave, or do some of 7 and 8 for the full timer each trip.

    Thanks.
