You could say the same for farming (in your case anyway) or any other skill for that matter. People just like other skills more then other ones, theres nothing wrong with it.

Hahha.. a MANLY skill. Thats hilarous :D Good luck, ill keep on looking back, post more screenies :D

Note: - This blog started on this forum, moved to another one, then brought back here - Blog was started on the 3rd of August, 2006 - If there is any course language or offensive material, pm me with the blog date and I will remove it Starting Here are the stats when I started this blog Those are the most recently updated stats (just to show you what I look at) Here are my up-to-datest stats: Current Goals Membership Status: Member My current goals are as follows.. In Game Goals - Get the 2nd set of CW armour for my house : Not Completed - Top 10,000 while under 100 combat : Not Completed - 99 in a skill : Not Completed - Permanent Membership Status : Being worked on - Having as much fun as possible : Priceless Currently in RS? In RS im currently working on 3 skills here and there: Fletching (target level 99) Construction (target level 71) and Agility (target level 70) Currently in Real Life Playing in small amounts, because my yearly exams are coming up. Average playing time: 1 hours Bank Dated 17/10/06 Blog Entries 16/11/06 Mmm.. exciting day in real life? Not really. I finally finished all of my exams for the year. Its been a busy time indeed. So now ill have about 3 MONTHS of doing actually difficult. In runescape? Nothing really. I haven't played pretty much since I last posted, except I got 86 cooking and 87 woodcutting. I moved to rimmington for some reason. Im honestly BORED of runescape without membership, which is a good thing because i've been working on quitting, I never quite seem to get away without a woodcutting crave coming back. Mmm.. my father asked me the other day if I wanted runescape membership, I sorta gave no answer and said maybe over christmas. Quitting this game is harder then I thought. I don't know how our good pal n0va is doing it with such ease. I haven't seen him log in on these forums in many weeks, wonder if he has a job now? I established that to get to the top of this game (a very long term goal if its even possible) you have to sacrifice real life things to get it, such as a job or girlfriend etc. Thats not the life for me, I just want to QUIT Speaking of girlfriends, im going out to dinner with mine tomorrow night ;) 27/10/06 lol quick one, training agility to 70, non stop, I swear ill get it this time. Currently about 5k from 65 RL TODAY!! WOW, 3 more exams to go!! Thank god! And here's random pics Me being gangsta after an exam Taking a pic of the exam clock at 1337 o'clock That's all 23/10/06 Quick entry Im so under prepared for my maths exam tomorrow, but meh, im not doing it for my major next years anyways. Onto RS, im thinking about taking it one 99 skill at a time (or 2 if I need too) I know that in F2P im planning of Woodcutting for the rest of it to 99, then firemaking to 99, which should take a month or 2. Ill be back to members in about 6 weeks after it runs out now (6 days left), so I hope to get to 90 woodcut and firemaking, and then possibly attempt either 99 fletching or cooking over the chirstmas time for my first 99 and then work on fishing OR attempt to get 100 combat, not too sure yet. I would have higher skills if I knew how to keep money, but oh well Laterzorz 21/10/06 Mm.. don't have a clue of what im doing in RS anymore. I really want to fletch, but I have no money to buy any materials, or no drive to cut things for them. I seem to be enjoying woodcutting willows though, and getting some good farming experience power farming, although 10k xp in farming today still is pretty slow. I've set myself more up for F2P, although I know that membership will be back before I know it, so I don't know. In F2P im planning on going for 99 firemaking and woodcutting. Probably will fall short on Woodcutting, but firemaking I think I can get in 1 month of F2P if I can get the logs fast. Random picture of the day ^^ I'm planning on attending the farewell shindig that n0va etc. are holding, so that will be a fun time, for now, im just going to try and get some money ANYWAY I can. 15/10/06 So winds day my last day of full day membership. Tomorrow and Tuesday (and for the rest of the week for that matter) I will be studying for my yearly's and school certificate (some big gay exam that we have to do, cramming 13 exams into 3 weeks isn't fun) But as the old saying goes: Real life > Runescape Anyways, I go back to school on Wednesday, which means no late nights (only on Weekends, although I have cricket too) so that means ill waste my last 14 days of membership probably only for around 2 hours a day. Today in RS I got a few levels, 85 fletching (83 I started on, and I was 73 about 15 days ago lol) and 65 construction, I was level 60 about 24 hours ago, so im happy with that experience. Now I dont know what im doing, it's almost 1am and I think im going out to train some agility, hopefly ill get 70 before my membership runs out, HOPEFLY. I don't think ill be getting 85 mining this round of membership, but ill try for next time. Next time ill have almost 3 months straight of membership, so hopefly in that time I will aim to get. 85 Mining 99 Fletching And probably all skills above 70, that will be sweet. Other then that in RS nothing, ill be attending 5pirit's party probably, although waking at 8am isn't fun, expecially if my mum catches me (im supposed to be studying tomorrow) In Real life, I dont know anymore. My friend thats a girl seems different over the past week. Not as talkative, and stuff like that, hope it gets better. My school formal is soon too, so that will be exciting. Anyways, here are some pics from today. EDIT NEW PIC: That's all (as if you've read it all anyways) 13/10/06 I just can't stay on task of the goals that I want to do, so now I just feel like taking it easy and letting runescape take me. It seems that way I don't get bored, and also still get lots of xp. Last night I crafted 2k nats, just to get me some money to start getting xp and profit (fletching ftw). And im eager to get 65 or 70 construction, so im going to work that in with fletching. If I buy 1k yews at 250 each and 1k bs and 170 each, then I can make a 140k profit per 1k yew longs. So I intend to make 2k yew longs, sell them, plank 1k oaks and use them all (30k for payments to butler) and have about 10k profit, but its more the xp that im interested in. Im hoping all of that should take around 3 to 4 hours, and that I should get 65 construction by tomorrow, but after Sunday night, I will have 10 days left of membership, and will have to study for exams 11/10/06 Nothing happening lately. I got bored of mining (which has never happened before). Its funny, everytime I get membership I got through a stage of boredum, mainly because I overkill everything with so much xp and levels gained, and is why I need to release myself from runescape for a few days to come back fighting again. I don't want to get away and waste precious membership days, but it's what I need to do to keep myself interested in the game. It usually happeneds in F2P, but at sometimes, F2P interests me more, because its more of a challenge to level up, other then getting 500k fletching xp in about 3 hours. That's why I like mining, but going out there to get 85 is not going to be possible all at once. So when I get back into runescape (mind you, i've gotten almost 100k range experience today, and am quite close to getting 70 range), ill be getting my mining levels in parts of 1 or 2 levels at a time, and have a break of castlewars (which I LOVE) or construction, or maybe some runecrafting to get some more money. Then go back to mining. Although there is under a week left of school holidays, and about 10 days till my yearly exams, which might mean ill be going back to F2P with a mining level of 84, not 85. Other then that, im on track for getting lots of XP. I've decided to try and get in the top 10,000 overall and staying under 100 combat, just like Jorus sorta. So that will keep me interested in skilling. Im also going to try and get a set of CW 2 armour for my house I changed around my first post around a bit, with different new stuff to read if you want to, but other then that (and my new avatar and siggy) everything is going cool. Sorry if this was long to read, just filling up time as usual. Here is a pic of what im doing RIGHT NOW 9/10/06 20 days left.. and reliasing 10 of them will be wasted (thanks Jagex). I've decided its now or never to get the goal that i've been dreaming of for a long time, 85 mining. So after I finish getting 60 construction (58 now), ill be heading out to the granite to get 80, no questions asked. Ill also not be taking out any tele device so that I stay out there. When I get it, ill be going to a F2P world for my friends, and then possibly switching back to World 48 for a small party at my house (if anyone wants to come). But thats all for now 6/10/06 Seems that no one likes to reply to my blog anymore.. I don't mind though :P A LOT happened yesterday. Major xp and skills going on. I racked up over 14 total levels, 400k xp. Its the most combat xp i've ever EVER gotten in a day (according to runemonkey) and I managed to get some skills in there too. Well firstly I started training slayer. I expected it to be boring, but I actually find combat fun now, with slayer involved. It was going slowly, until Saikou let me borrow his whip (THANKS SO MUCH). It sped up training so much, soon I have 71 attack and 70 defense! I kept getting good assignments and good drops too, so that helped. The best thing I got was 2 white mystic hats for balistiks in ONE assignment, and then I got lots of waters from Dagonathos (can't spell it, sorry) which got me to 50 slayer. After that, I managed to rack up 49 farming from the fruit trees I planted, and then 47 herblore from the herbs I got from monster drops in slayer. I then thieved to 60, after that I should go to bed Here are some pictures from today: Thats all for now, ill probably attempt 80 fletching now. And then possibly 70 agility, 85 mining or 70 range.. ill just go where my mouse takes me 5/10/06 Ahh got lots done today. Firstly.. I did fletched and high alched 1k yew longs, getting me 74 mage and 77 fletching. So im slowly getting closer to 80. But today was a quest day, I completed many quests, including shilo and a few smaller ones, to get this. OOO yeah, exciting Read the text box A conversation when I went to mine at the gem rocks in shilo. Thats all, now im going to consintrate on skills, hopefly getting them all above 60 sometime soon, prayer will be the hardest. So will slayer, although im thinking of getting 70 agility first so that I can access the blue dragon shortcut, and bank some d bones. It would only take about 20 loads to get either enough bones and hides or enough bones to ecto/buy. Other then that :D W000000000000t! 4/10/06 Just a quick entry.. Last night, setting my plan off shedule (man I SUCK HARD at spelling those weird words) I went out into the wild to train agility with Free2range1. BOY WAS IT FUN! Apart from the fact he nearly ddp specd me 3 times when I failed an opstical, and also the fact that I didn't bring an anti poison (running around with cakes and poison with low hp is no fun in 55 wild ;)) it was a really fun time. We also almost (did) get owned by a level 111 and 123, but then a world hop and a noob (we baited him bad) got him down. Some level 85 was training in World 53 where I hopped after the 111 and 123. I said, please don't attack me, I have no food or anti pots left. ROFL!!!1!1!one I logged when he attacked, getting him skulled, and Free finished it off, w00000000000000000000000t DDS PL0xX NEB!!1111 Anyways, it was fun. But then he had to die with the dds at the mage arena.. PICTURES! ^^ This was the guy we killed, we taunted him with flashy text but he wanted to buy the dds Free got off him I also got: 62 Runecrafting 73 Magic 61 Agility In levels yesterday Thanks again Free2range1 for a great time, and good luck with your fire cape. 3/10/06 Guess whos back?!!?! IT's ME!! Man.. 4 days from the computer feels so weird, im so slow at typing now, but I think ill catch up. Well after that nice little break from life (runescape.. lol jokes, but seriously) I never reliased how bored going down there could be. We have a holiday house, but the problem is is we have no phone, no reception for mobile phones, no cable TV, no internet, and I forgot to take my playstation down Watching public TV with crappy reception is NO fun! By all meanings of the word, so I was happy to get home. While I was down there though, I was thinking about 3 things nearly everyday: My girlfriend (yes, a REAL LIFE ONE) Friends Runescape Runescape heheheeh can't get away from it. So im going to update my goals list, so that it will keep me on track, and also figure out an order to getting my goals in the time that I have left with membership (26 days) So here it goes. This membership I hope to achieve (in this order) - Runecraft nats for my fletching products - 80 Fletching - High Alch the products from fletching (about 4k -5k yew logs) - Buy abby whip - 50/60 Slayer - 50/60 Farming - 50/60 Herblore - 60 Construction - 85 Mining - 70 Agility - 60 Prayer - 70 Theiving - Combat work In that order. The reason I have 50/60 on those skills, is that im not sure how much money/time I will have to get those levels, although I will be aiming for 60, I just dont have the supplies to do it at the moment. That's all for now, after I get my abby whip ill be happy to play a few rounds of castlewars with you, just add me in game and we'll have some fun 29/9/06 Wow.. finally membership. I thought that I might as well post a blog about something other the flaming mail towards Jagex, and I hadn't done an RS blog in a long time. What im doing now, is mining essence so I can craft nats, to high alch the yew longs ive made today. While mining, I noticed n0valyfe (good old buddy) fletching away as normal with his cat. First time I ran into him in RS before, but I didn't even notice he was there until a few loads later when some people were crowding around saying stuff.. Amazing how one little character can draw attention. Anyways.. I was just about to tele away to fix my pouches when he said hello to me, and then about in 2 seconds, 3 of the people in the bank PMed me saying 'OMg wtfzorz! he tlk3d to j00!11' All I could do was look back in amazement. Anyways, moving back on to me (as it is about me) The plan is to get 800k for some combat stuff, then train some slayer. After getting 60ish slayer (or 60 farming) ill be fletching again to get a whip. Ill then train combat again, or go crazy with mining and agility. MONEY MONEY MONEY is on my mind. 24/9/06 Ok, i've had enough of this. I think of lost my money on this one. If only I could post on the forums or actually be able to contact one of them ingame. So, despite the time and money loss (and holiday fun, now I have to deal with another 3 months of F2P without membership) I've decided to cut my loses (keep hoping that they will do something about it, I might send another query) and move on, back to skilling. Ranging is the next thing on the cards. Ive let it pass by for a long time now on the same level (in the low 60s) and thought that the black D hide will help when im runecrafting/slaying, so 70 ranging is my new goal, ill crack into that when I finish this damn homework. Only problem is is I don't have any money or arrows etc. so im going to have to sell my yews to buy some arrows (which are very overpriced in both World 1 and the forums) So that's what ill be doing in the next few weeks. If I get 50k xp a day, I should have it done by next Sunday. And considering that I prefer Counter Strike now over runescape ([bleep]ex has lost my trust) then thats a good goal to get done, as i've let it slide for too long. I might even get a combat level from the HP xp I get from it. That's all for now, back to my woodwork assignment. 13/9/06 lol I never thought that id get almost 700k woodcutting xp this week. But its made preparing for members and getting fletching xp (and a whip) that much easier. I think that it's set in stone about getting membership. Me hopes anyways. Ive got around 3700 yews (mostly all cut) which will get me over 2.3mil for a whip and rune armour etc. I got this just then too, 83 woodcutting (picture wouldn't upload) In real life (there's a real life?) I learnt that there is NO RESPAWN IN REAL LIFE!! That was upsetting news as I was about to jump into a tank of caramel fudge? WORK EXPERIENCE WOO! I love it so much. Im doing it at a radio station and I got a 2 hour show today. Its a hella lot better then school, although I miss my 'girly' friend. Anyways im going to play counter strike then go to bed. 12/9/06 Ok, nothing happening.. ive been cutting yews for about 3 days now. 500k xp in 3 days CANT BE BAD :D Anyways, this really pissed me off for some reason I mean dude.. its annoying. To see that some [bleep] has put his riches on his pure account ILLEGALLY (im guessing). Unless this noobie pure is from RSC times.. which I highly doubt. I dont know why it annoys me, its just annoying to see (ive seen about 3 this week, 2 were yellows, the other was the blue). One of the yellow phats one (around my combat level) was calling me a poor noob because I didnt have a phat? I mean sure.. im poor. But his skillz were shizz!! Anyways, thats my annoyed rant. 9/9/06 Ok well im really excited about the pking thing tonight, if its going to even happen (because my bro might turn the net off) I have the addy arrows and armour all ready for it, and im excited!! :) Also got this today, lol didnt expect it either. And this :D 8/9/06 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT Thanks to 12378933 (BlackWonder), 1 Shawn 1 (or that cool desert name) and X Olympeus X for turning out. I lagged at the pic and missed everyone, so 12378933 kindly gave up his message for the others to give his, thank you very much. Heres the drop party lol 200 cooked trout and salmon was dropped 300 willows (and 600 donated also) 320 gp An uncut emerald 2 laws 3 raw trout 1 raw salmon Thanks for all coming out again, and thanks also to all the nice comments ive been getting in the game AND on this thread. It keeps me going sometimes, and I really can't wait to do more stuff with you guys when I get membership. Now? I have no idea what to do. All my F2P goals that I wanted to complete before membership again are done, and I have no intentions to get 85 mining or wc or whatever at the moment. I think I might just start building up suppilies (like wcing yews or oaks for construction). Or stocking on air runes etc. for mage/cw fun I might even build on a new thing I have going on, which is collecting general items Whatever I do, I feel pretty nice about getting five 80 stats in a last few months in F2P. When I lost membership I was 72 fishing, look how far ive come. 5/9/06 Yes everyone, its that time again! ANOTHER UPDATE.. thought I was going to say 80 fishing? Keep dreaming. My 80 fishing progress was halted, after my mother made a proposal that I COULD NOT REFUSE. Earlier on Sunday I made a point of noting that the school holidays was coming up (only short ones, for about 3 weeks this time). I asked her about runescape membership, as the previous holidays were filled with RS joy. Anyways, I asked, she said IF! IFF!!! If I complete all of my assignments due, AND catch up on all maths homework (im about 4 topics behind the class.. lol) then I could get it. Thinking of the oppurtunity to grasp 85 fletching and the sweet, mind boggling drool that would fall onto my keyboard, and the amount of GP I could get in that month, I set off studying. I worked hard into that Sunday night, completing 3 topics of work without stopping (except for dinner) The problem that occured was that I was going back to school on Monday, and that I would be bombared with work, because next week, our school is holding a work experience thing for our grade (year 10) This means that for 1 week of school, instead of going to school, we must go to a work place to help them (im going to a radio station :D) Anyways, I got stacks of maths homework that night, and finished it! AND IM UP TO DATE!! All that needs to be finished is DnT (which will be a while, but easy) and I should have RS membership for a MONTH!! in a few WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!! Im so excited about it, and I really cant wait. Amazing how far an incentive can go ehh? Anyways, if all goes well. I might have it in a few weeks, as holidays arent far away. Other then that, im on 79 fishing. Nothing exciting, still 150k away from 80 :D Thanks for reading it all (and sorry it was long) if you did read it all. 3/9/06 Man im feeling great at the moment ^^ Thanks to the random guy cutting with me Im on track for 80 fishing as well.. sorry that my sig is wrong in some parts, but fishing is the only one I need to get up. After 80 fishing.. im not really that sure. I have about 900k in the bank at the moment, after selling the willows in my bank. That should give me enough to buy the cowhides for 70/71 crafting, which I really want to get. The problem with this is is that if I do this, I will have not much left over money, which I really want/need to have to keep skilling. So.. I think I may buy say.. 2k hides? And then make 240k back (smithing or whatever) and do it like that. I also really want to get 65 runecrafting, although its very hard on F2P to do it effectively. 2/9/06 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT Long time goal completed!!! Now im going for 80 woodcutting and 80 firemaking. Thats it for now!! 1/9/06 Ok well its the start of the month, and I havent played RS alot over the past few weeks, but I thought I would update. Well my most recent stats can be found in my sig now (makes it easier). Although ill keep posting pictures of them every week or so for all you eBay'ers out there Well I just got this I should get 80 soon. Ive been working up my skills and am hoping to maybe get 80 wc, fm and fishing in one or two days, as its now the weekend Nothing much else to say. Im sick again irl, which sucks hard. I also am getting hectic stuff from school with band and everything. 24/8/06 Omg ok I need to make this quick.. but what a great day!! Ok first I got 70 hitpoints!! I would post a pic but I cant at the moment. I will in a tick Anyways, then I got 67 strength but had to log out. So I checked the new hiscores.. AND LOOK AT THE DEFENSE AND STRENGHT XP!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!! Anyways, im going to bed now. I havent played RS lately because school has been busy, anyways 22/8/06 Ok well I havent been on RS much at all lately. Mainly because I was on holidays.. well so called holidays on the weekend, which was cut short. Anyways.. im sick of random events (ie THE ENT, THAT ALWAYS WREAKS MY AXE) that I decided just to get 79 woodcutting, and then train some combat (mainly 70 defense and hitpoints) while playing counter strike. Basically all ive updated on the blog is the fresh new stats pic. I also added my stat counter in my sig (although I dont really like them very much, makes the page load slower) and thats about it. 11/8/06 Well well well.. look what I finally got today.. Anyway im happy with that. 2 levels in 2 days. Now all I need is 70 strength and 70 defense.. (cant wait to finish it, I hate combat..) and then maybe a bit of range. After that ill be doing something to get 2.5mil for when I go back to members.. Thats all for now though, im about 30k from 70 hitpoints and 3k from 53 prayer, that will be nice too 13/8/06 Oh man.. where do I start. Well first of all, im really sick irl, so that has made my weekend sucky, although I did get lots of things done.. well sorta. I was planning on getting 80 fishing this weekend, but I had stacks of raw trout and salmon that I wanted to cook, so I thought I would. As I was cooking them, I saw someone selling 1.5k raw lobs for 150 each, so I thought I would buy them.. 6 hours later in that night, I had this :D Anyways.. thats really it. Im still cooking lobs. After cooking all the salmon and trout and lobbies, I went to world 1 to sell them. Then I had 800k in my bank, and I had an urge to buy 5k raw lobbies.. and I did that. Now this will get me to close to 85. Ill stop at 85 I think (boy its been a long run) Yeah thats right And this!! Im out for now[/color]

Hey :) The same thing happends to me every month, having to go back to F2P is a bit annoying, because I really miss castle wars, but I usually pull through all of that and start up some insane goals while im waiting for it to come back. Good luck with it all, and hope you have a nice time having fun in F2P, you'll meet some weird and wonderful people ;)

Well it does have a point. It's the only use for logs in F2P apart from selling them. How empty would woodcutting be in F2P if you didn't have a use for them. Firemaking is peaceful and very fun to train in my eyes.

I love finding logs like yews in the bank at about 100 gp each. I saw 300 yews in the edgeville bank, bought them all and made about 150k profit :D

Trust me.. I have gotten my 81 fishing and cooking ALL IN F2P. Cooking trout and salmon and selling is very profitable. Lots of pkers buy them for 50 + each. You can get about 600 in an hour. You do the math :)

I think the item is a bit more then a measly one :P

Ahh.. backstabbers suck ehh.. Well firstly congrats on all your achivements in runescape (99 runecrafting, green phat etc.), its ashame that all this hard work was taken away from a great friend (well.. so you thought) I know it hurts but im sure you'll move on. Goodluck in your future adventures either on runescape or in the 'real life' thing :)

Personally, I dont see anyones skills as being low for 'their' level. The problem that I find with this community (and the game for that matter) is that it is mainly based on being the richest, or having high levels, or killing other players. If they find this fun, then by all means I won't stop you. But when it turns into ranting and flaming towards a player because they have a low strenght level for their 'combat' level, then it gets out of hand. Personally, I dont think many people would be playing if their was such thing as the 'hiscores', the only people that would play would be the ones that enjoy playing the game for what its worth, not trying to show off and be better then the other players. I do actually hate herblore, but when money and herbs come into my bank, im more then happy to get some experience. In my eyes.. friends + communites + experience = fun. A beautiful formulae in my eyes :)

My mistake :oops:

World 66 is created for people that want to level up faster.. but at a very high price. World 99 is there for lower level members that can't craft law runes but want to have lots without much/if any expense. The problem with this is that people that expect ess back go to this world and think that it's the same as World 99.. when its not.

How long would it take from 75-99? If you have 4 million gp or more for fletching.. buying an even amount of bowstrings and yew logs and then selling the yew longs for about 550 - 560 each should get you 1 million xp a day if your on for 5 hours +

It's true. You can't get the outfit. About 1 year ago you used to be able to get the other genders outfit. But now they all change to the gender that your character is no matter what. I'f be interested to find out if it is affected by the custume rooms.

Fletching is the cheapest and easiest (you can make a profit) Cooking if your good with money.

sekksaj

I loved it. I am always interested and LOVE articles from Duke. And the graphs are always the best ;)

I think that they will only add them if something significant is updated in F2P that's needs a quest for something. A new skill or something.

I play up to 18 hours in the holidays, and I dont find it obsessive.

Considering that the capes are supposedly humored to be put into your POH's, I dont think they will be F2P. Just another ploy to get high level F2P's to get membership.

Heeh I was your first post a long time ago, good to see your still going at it :) Nice amount of cash in your bank as well

I'd still play. I mean id try to start again, but getting all that XP back would be annoying. You'd just have to adjust. I don't talk much on runescape anyway. Only when being accused of macroing, or in World 1

High alch it.

I hope that was teh noob comment..

It's usually where I see autos training to level 60 before they cut yews. Rimmington is also sometimes packed with willows, but the general store in Lumby is closer to the willows. Rimmington is a good place to get FM xp, as there is a hugh west line running.
