You could try taking a break from the brim course and explore different courses. I know Ape Atoll is the accepted way of training past 75, but if nothing else it would be a break from chasing those tickets around. Been there, done that. Its my least favorite skill, so I know your pain. Best of luck with your sanity.

Not gonna lie, it was simply amazing. Their new stuff wasnt their finest, but it wasnt close to their worst either.

So yea, just got home from an Aerosmith concert. Text based words can not describe the awesomeness involved in such an event. For being in their 60s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are still sexy, and thats coming from a totally straight guy. Steven Tyler still has his scream going, which I guess I can blame my ringing ears on. Joe Perry still shreds the guitar like none other. So yea, ROCK ON! \:D/ In game, I woke up super early today and couldnt go back to bed, so I went to pest control. I ended up finishing with 500/850 points needed for a full set, still not sure which helm to get, but I dont have to make that decision right away. Thats all I really did today since the rest of my time was spent at work, or rocking out.

Its been a few days, but I think the world will go on if I miss a few blogs. Anyway, I guess Ill start with some IRL stuff. If you remember a few posts ago, I stayed home from school because of my stupid back. Well, first Ill just say that I played ultimate frisbee with my cross country team (as we do every friday during the winter) and hurt it more, but I can still function. Im just in pain. Second, due to my missing school, I had to learn a physics lesson outside of class. My teacher doesnt use a book, so I couldnt just read the required section. So, I had to ask someone in my class to teach me. For better or worse, I asked my ex girlfriend to teach me. We are still on talking terms, and it was a mutual(ish) break up, so things werent too bad. So I went to her house after school and we just did physics. But we could both tell that the other person was having issues not relapsing into old times. Fast forward a few days, and somehow we ended up hanging out. One thing we both love to do is just pick a random road and drive it straight as far as we can, just to see where we end up. I love it because its a great time to think, and I love the feeling of chasing my headlights and trying to catch them. Good metaphor in there somewhere, but Im too lazy to find it right now. Now Im thinking that we might end up getting back together, and I still cant decide if thats a good thing for either of us or not. Oh well, time will tell. I also said before that Im currently working as a lifeguard for my local YMCA. Im looking into maybe becomeing a guard/councilor for one of the summer camps the Y hosts during the summer. If that doesnt work out, I might look into some of the BSA(Boy Scout) camps around, and see what kind of aquatic jobs they have to offer. On to RS related things. Ive just been derping around really, hitting a few monsters with sharp objects and pulling some leaves from my allotments and all that. I think tonight Ill do Legacy of Seergaze, because Im trying to complete that quest line. The quests are all soooooooo stinkin long though and it gets annoying always have to find my way through Meiyerditch(sp). Hopefully Ill get that finished, and maybe Darkness of Hallowvale by the end of the weekend. I guess time will tell with that one too. Other than that, life is good. Later

I decided to give this a shot since I heard it was pretty good xp/hr for str. Anyway, I seem to remember a little area somewhere on Tip.it with info like the gorillas max hit, and all that useful info. If anyone can point me in the right direction, or provide that info themselves, that would be great.

Not much has happened since my last entry. Did a few floors of dg, and remembered why I hate it. Or maybe I dont hate the skill, just the people Im stuck with since I hate to dg and must rely on the public worlds. Cant wait for the solo xp increase. Been really jamming out to Rise Against lately, and especially after getting into the lyrics, they are more awesome than ever. Oh, so guess what came today? My retarded horse mask! I said before that I was a child of the Interwebz, and this is the result. So now I have to go on some runs wearing it, and go to random other places with it on as well, just for the lulz.

Interesting, and super confusing turn of events for me irl. I was scaping last night, and I got up to hit the head before going to bed. As I swung my legs out of bed, i felt a crippling pain in my lower back, close to my spine. I couldnt move and just collapsed to the groud. I laid there for a good hour before the pain diminished enough to get up and climb back into bed. I slept horribly due to the fact that every time I moved pain shot through my entire back. I thought it would go away, or atleast be manageable in the morning and after a nice hot shower. So I went to school for my first class. My back ended up still hurting horribly, so I came home and here I am. It sucks, and I can barely move, but on the bright side, it gives me more scaping time, and I also get more time to finished the homework I loathe doing. Still confused about what I did to my back, but my dad had something similar a couple weeks ago, and my mom about 4 months ago. None of us know what it is, but it should go away.

As I stated over in my blog, I want to raise my base level on my account to 70, 65 being the intermittent goal. Here are the skills I have, and how I think I might train them. I dont mind dropping some cash on the skills, but Im not looking to do the fastest possible methods. Construction-Oak doors? Dg-Well, pretty self explanatory Herblore-thinking about using the snaps im farming for this one, any better ideas? Theiving-master farmers probably Crafting-no idea Hunter-red sallys, or red chins if it isnt too crowded mining-coal? Smithing-no idea Thats it really. My stats are in the sig for current levels.

No, not the dubstep bass, even though that is always a good thing. Im talking about my base level. I was happy when I finally achieved a base level of 60. I hated doing this, because some of the skills I really hated (thieving and agility). Right now, Im gonna set my goals a little low, at 65 for a base level. After 65, Im gonna go for a base of 70, which is more or less a huge unofficial milestone. I got bored with straight slaying, so this will be a good reprieve. IT also gets me back into herb farming, since I got lazy and slacked off doing runs.

I know slayer is one of the better ways to train melee skills, not because of xp/hr but because it gets slayer xp as well. I know this, and I accept it, since I want a high slayer level. Right now im more interested in just the melee aspect of it, and the slayer xp isnt all that important. With that said, which tasks should I focus on? I know there are some tasks that are better for slayer xp, but what about just melee xp? Maybe its a stupid question, but still.

'Before I tell my tale of the brewing storm, let me give a little bit of info on the dynamics of my cross country team. We are more or less divided into two groups. The first (and largest) group is what we refer to as "the couples". About half the team is dating someone else on the team, which is rather annoying. MY coach hates it because they never pay attention. Anyway, the couples rarely do anything as a single couple. It always huge group hang outs and what not at various people's houses generally. The other group, which I proudly belong too, is the singles. Guess what, none of us have a significant other, and we are proud of it. Anyway, we always hang out and make fun of the couples and what not. At team events like dinner and what not, we always make a singles and a couples table since we dont want to deal with all their hanging on each other. Now to the fun part. We singles generally spend atleast one night a week at one of our houses. When we are hanging out, we enjoy going out and tagging peoples cars and all that. We once forked our assistant coaches yard (with our head coach too). Anyway, since we generally know which house the couples are hanging out at, we can usually get all their cars tagged at once. We did this, as usual last night. But this time, the couples retaliated. They tp'd the house we were staying at. Our response was to collect all the toilet paper, and drive back to the house the couples hung out at last night. This guy is their informal leader, so they are generally hanging out at his house. Now, living in a rather safe city, few of us ever lock our cars. This guy is the same, so we drive over and dumped all the collected toilet paper into his car in the morning. So, the first shots in a war have been fired. The singles are determined to win this, as we have much more experience in general havoc. The challenge has been issued and accepted, so we shall see where this goes. *Note that this war is all in good faith. Both sides really do like each other, we just enjoy messing with each other more, and both sides know better than to cause actual damage to property.

For the grotworms, if nothing else, you can easily do the task in under 30 minutes by just killing the youngest ones. Usually one hit kill and never crowded. I do that since I dont like the highest level ones, but im usually too cheap to skip such an easy task. If you do kill the little ones, I suggest range/mage, since you have to move less. Your choice

So, lets see what happened today. IRL, I finished The Lost Hero, which is the first book in the Heros of Olympus series (dont quote me on this, im tired and im not looking at the book). It was a great first book, especially since I love greek mythology. So while I wait for the next two books in the series from amazon, I started The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. My team also had our cross country banquet today. Being a senior, it was kinda sad to realize it was my last one. My team has been my favorite part of highschool. Most of my best friends are on the team, and its gonna suck to have to leave them all next year. In game, I didnt do too much today, since I spent alot of time with friends. I finished my waterfiends task and also got through a black demon task. Between the, I got about 250 crimsons, which helped me a ton toward getting 88 summoning. I also got a goulish mask on the SoF, which was my first ever red reward ever. I think thats it for today. Oh! I also sketched some plans from my physics teacher for a tennis ball cannon that fires at about 150m/s, or about 1/3 the speed of sound. Gonna be legit. Later

I agree, in that if you enjoy it keep going. I do what I enjoy more rather than doing what is more efficient. Given that, saying he isnt losing anything by doing this is false. Opportunity costs say that if he can earn more than 333k/hr, even if he doesnt enjoy it, he is technically losing out. Again though, I would say go with what you enjoy, as that will make the game that much better. Just pointing out the truth.

Ill make the obligatory slayer suggestion. This will train your combat stats. You will make a little cash during the tasks, but if you do herb runs between tasks, you should make decent money. The best money making methods in the game are monster hunting, and training slayer will put you that much closer to being able to effectively boss. It will take a wile, but be worth it in the long run.

No offence, but I believe you might have read my first post wrong. Either way, what would you suggest using?

I decided to start a blog. Dont ask why, because like most questions, I dont have an answer. Unless of course the question doesnt really matter, because then I have all the answers. Anyway, I guess I should start with stuff about me. Well, Im a 17 year old guy, turning 18 in march. Im in my last year of highschool. I live in the biggest city in my state, which has a total of 450,000 people. I love to read, though I dont get nearly as much time to read (for pleasure) as I wish. Ill try to read anything, from War and Peace (got decently far before I finally gave up out of sheer boredom) to Twilight (yea, dont judge, it wasnt half bad) but my favorite genre would have to be fantasy. Favorite series would have to be the Inheritance cycle, the Pendragon series, and so many more that I dont have room to mention. I also like to write along the same lines, but never get very far on my books before I start something new. Video games are what takes up alot of my reading time, because I love to play games with my friends. Obviously, Runescape is a big one. Mostly play Battlefield 3, and now Assassins Creed 3 (gonna try to 100% this, so it will take a while). Umm, besides that, I love to run, swim, bike, and hike (gonna spend a month on the Appalachian trail hopefully next summer). I also work as a lifeguard, which is a pretty sweet first job. Oh, music. I love music. Huge part of my life. One can always find me with a headphone plugged in (even in class). My music preferences are even more diverse than my reading. From metal, to opera, to classical, to dubstep, to everything else. My mom says she is always surprised because my music in my room is always changing. Notable bands include A7X, MCR, Rise Against, Alesana. Also, turntable.fm...If you have never been to this site, i urge you to go. Best thing ever for music streaming. So, thats all about my personal background, lets get down to some RS talk. Started my account I would say 6 years ago, not really sure. Played on and off as F2P, then decided to get members and became more hooked. Never been one to grind it out, which is why I have yet to get a 99. I just kinda do what I want in game and not really care. Current Rs goals are 88 summoning, then 99 range. After that Im gonna solo the crap out of Kree. I just love going there, for whatever reason, range is my favorite skill. For now, thats it. Quick sum up of me. Im a internet raised child, reddit, imgur, and sadly 4chan have had a large impact upon who I am. Feel free to message me in game, on here on TIF, I usually love to chat (unless you are just being stupid) Ill do my best to update this atleast weekly, ideally daily. Ill post about RS accomplishment, and stuff IRL I deem important enough Later

So, at the moment, I have penance, and greater reverence. Which one which one would be more beneficial for general slayer, assuming praying piety but not protection prayers? What about the next tier of reverence?

I know this is last minute and all, but whats the best way for me to gain access to a gilded altar to offer all my bones on?

In the post on the rs homepage, Jagex says to keep an eye out for more info. Problem is that I only get my news from the title page. What I want to know, is if they have announced any information about summoning, if they will do it like before, and cap the summoning xp, or if I will be able to call bursting quits finally and only need half the charms for 88.

Good enough for me

So, as my previous post suggests, Im all set to burst rock lobsters for the charms to shoot me to 88 summoning. Problem is, this is my first time to the cavern, and I wasnt aware of the required 2 people to get past the first room. Is there a good world I can have a chance of finding someone to help me, or if one of you would be so kind as to pop over to world 99 and help me, that would be awesome.

Well, Im only 25 tokens off fully charging them, so I might as well use the robes now. And is that 350 crims, or crims of xp?

Since my 700k xp left me two levels short of 88 summoning, I need to come up with the charms somehow. And since I also want to get my Magic levels up, I decided I might as well burst it all. So, while I get my tokens to charge my battlerobes, about how many casts will I need to get my last two levels of summoning? The amount of Magic xp is not super important, since I dont have a specific goal in mind.

Alright, first off, I know that what I am asking for are usually highly guarded secrets. But Im not asking for those secrets exactly. What Im asking for is either a decent guide, or even some personal pointers (PM me probably) on how to start merchanting, or even just how to find my own items. Ive only got a 20m cash stack at the moment, but Im looking to grow that.
