    Got 43 and 44 with Tears of Guthix!
     
    That also got me 99 combat.

     
    Then, I got 45 and 46 with Relleka diary turnins!
     
    46-52 Pyrelords

     

     

     
    52 got me 100 combat.
     
    52-54 Spirit Terrorbirds

     

     

     
    54 Summoning was 2100 Total!

     

     
    After doing a quest...

    ... without dying once!
     
    And getting a prayer level solely from quest XP:

    (2101)
     
    I got back to summoning.
     
    55 from Terrorbirds

    (2102)
     
    56 from Bloated Leeches

    (2103)
     
    57 from Ibis and Falador Hard Diary reward

    (2104)
     
    At this point I made a few Kyatt pouches and amped up my speed.
     
    58 and 59 from Ibis

    (2105)

    (2106)
     
    59 got me 101 Combat.
     
    60 from Bloated Leech

    (2107)
     
    At this point, I cashed in 50 penguin points! I've been saving a while. That's 75k free xp!
    61-62 from Penguin Points

    (2108/9)
     
    63 and 64 from Bloated Leech

    (2110)
     

    (2111)
     
    65 from Stranger Plant

    (2112)
     
    And, I'm out of charms (except blues, which I am saving). That's okay, I plan to do While Guthix Sleeps tomorrow, and use all 400k on Summoning.

    A few more levels

    By swampjedi,

    86 Mining -
    Concentrated gold ore from Living Rock.
     
    86 Smithing -
    The gold I mined from Living Rock.
     
    86 Agility -
    Advanced Gnome.
     
    80 Slayer -
    Mainly penguin points.
     
    Once I rolled 80 Slayer, I went and used a load of pies at Abyssals. When I walked in, I got a lot of "get outta here noob", but as soon as I started hitting 20s on the demons, I got some respect. Haha. Not a bad 15 kills - got a clue and key half.

    That last battle was hard! All that switching and eating and ugly stuff. Wow.

    "Slacking"

    By swampjedi,

    Well, with life being pretty busy, my play time has been cut back to a minimum. That's not a bad thing at all! I log on after 7PM EST, buy my seaweed, get my sand and essence, kill Bork - you know, daily stuff. I might play a little longer afterward, which is how I got my 85 Hunter last night.
     
    I tell ya, those Pawya and Grenwall are horribly annoying to hunt. I go hunt them once I get around 100 papaya banked - and it's so frustrating when 20 papaya nets you 8 Pawya, which gets you roughly 3 Grenwall. That's with me smoking the traps, too! I know the Grenwall spikes are very valuable on the street, but I'm using them myself because I range, and I don't have junk to sell them with.
     
    I think next time, I'll go bathe in the mud spring to help catch those critters.
     
    I also really need to get to Runecrafting. I've got the essence for 85 RC banked, but kinda dread the (roughly) fifteen hours of making Astrals. And to think I have to make it to 87 by Astrals if I want 99 mage by stringing. I hope to have 85 by roughly... 20 Nov? Two weeks + change? That sounds reasonable.
     
    After that, I need to spend some time in Fast SC to get my hammers for 90 Construction and Smithing. I need roughly 60 games - that's another twelve hours of just SC. Granted, the levels themselves will come quickly after that, but still.
     
    I want to do some combat. I do have several combat levels as part of my goal for 2030 @ 89 combat. That's going to involve some slayer - currently I have Banshees. I'll go cannon/range the Mighty Banshees, which should get me 86 range. After that I'll switch tasks to the Edge or Canafis master, so I can melee them. Oh, except for the 10th task, which will be Sumona. I'm hoping for 70 Attack, 81 Slayer, and 79 HP from that.

    98 Woodcutting

    By swampjedi,

    Well, 98 Woodcutting today, on Ivy.
     
    99 WC + 99 Craft = 2000 Total Level. According to consensus, this will be be second time someone has hit 2000 total @ 88 combat. The first was a no-defense low-prayer pure with 99 attack, strength, range, hp, and mage. In other words, a few hundred combat-related levels more than I have. So my skill-related total is higher.
     
    I wish now I had gone the "pure" route so that I could max out a little higher sub-90. Oh well.
  8. swampjedi
    I've always, in every game I've played, tried to be "strong" for my level. I don't know why, but it's true. Somehow, in Runescape, this morphed into combat hitting a brick wall roughly 4 years ago. I started off wanting to get a 99 before level 90, and got the 99 (and several more), but 90 combat never happened.
     
    Well, I decided a while back to get to roughly 2030 total and then push past 90 combat. I came to this conclusion for a few reasons.
     
    First, and most importantly, I'm getting tired of the game again. I only have a few non-combat skills left to get 99s in, and they're pretty boring sometimes.
     
    Second, I want to experience some new content. There's a lot out there that I haven't done because I'm low combat.
     
    Finally, if you think about it, my account is nothing "special" anymore. It used to be that a low level with several 99s was pretty cool, but now they're everywhere. Since the GE makes merchanting so easy, seeing a level 3 with 99 crafting and herblore isn't all that uncommon anymore. Heck, several of them have higher slayer than I do!'
     
    It's the end of an era. At this point, I have been 8X combat for 4 years, even though about half of that was not playing.
     

    I rolled it with 92 mage, stringing amulets with Astrals that I made.
     
    At the end, I was 89 combat at 2032 total. That's:
    22.83 levels per combat
    84.67 average level
    1498 skills levels
    93.625 average skills level
    94.4 average skills level without Slayer
    534 combats levels
    66.75 average combat skill level
     
    Final skiller high scores:


     
    From here, I plan on moving my combats up to roughly where my skills are. I think I still want to keep most my skills above combats (except RC). I think I'll take a page from my dear friend Ard's book and go for balance.
     
    99 Mage is on its way!
     
    ---------------
     

    2033: String Amulets
     

    2034: Quests only, I think!
     

    2035: Stringing Amulets
     
    And...

     
    92 Combat's a "while" off. 2 mage levels, which will take 3 days probably.

    85 Slayer

    By swampjedi,

    Big one, been working on that for a LONG time.
     
    Got 110 combat the same task:
     

     
    And guess what my first Kuradel task was? 195 Abyssal Demons.

    I hate Vampires.

    By swampjedi,

    Another 3k essence made.
     
    Done with Vampyres. No good drops, and a sucky clue:
     

     
    And a Turoth task - did get a Mystic Bottoms, but those aren't as cool as they used to be. 25 charms, and a snapdragon seed.
     
    Ooh, speaking of herbs - Abberant Specters next! Only 64 though.

    Back again

    By swampjedi,

    Never thought it would happen, but I am playing again.
     
    My account was stolen around 2012, apparently, and I lost everything. But dear Ard Choille gave me quite a bit to get started again.
     
    Currently questing and pulling the low skills (Div, Dung) up to "reasonable" levels.
     
    I suspect 2400 total will look like (26 levels):
    80 Div (9)
    90 Slayer (1)
    89 Summoning (1)
    73 Dung (3)
    85 Str (1)
    89 Agi (1)
    85 Def (2)
    90 RC (3)
    90 HP (1)
    89 Atk (1)
    91 Smith (1)
    91 Mining (1)
    91 Cons (1)
     
    We'll see if I stay interested that long. Right now, questing is kind of fun!

    Questing Machine

    By swampjedi,

    Completed a lot of quests today, to break the monotony of SC games:
     

    Defender of Varrock (can't turn it in yet, it'll roll combat to 90) [image added later]
    Pretty fun, actually. Loved the cutscenes, and the attack on Varrock.
     

    Easy. Killed the bug at the end with my rune pick.
     

    This one was a bit harder. End battle was difficult without prayer, but thanks to Rockfish I made it safely.
     

    Not a problem here. Expected the last boss to be hard, but really getting TO him was the hard part. Trolls in multi-way combat wouldn't leave me alone.
     

    Very easy.
     

    Long, but funny! Great quest - looking forward to learning more about Rabid Jack!
     

    Pretty annoying going back and forth to the hideout, ESPECIALLY at the end. But hey, now I can do bloods.
