Ok Dusty, heres the long post I just told you about in-game: I'll start by saying this: I read it all. I can see that we are similar in many ways, including our Total Levels and Combat level. But, there is much more to this game than that. From your levels, to your personality in game, to your impressive Blue Mask, I can see a true dedication to the spirit of fun, friends, community, and experience that is Runescape. This is a quality that I certainly hope you will not lose, as it only exists in a precious few people these days. When I am faced with nice people who truely embrace the many factors that make up this wonderful game we play, I really cannot find the words to describe the feeling. I can only wish you the best of all the luck in the world, which is much less than what you definitely have earned and deserve, and hope to see you achieve all your goals with glorious success and rewards. From your friend, ~Oreo9870, Runescape's Favorite Cookie

Thanks Iclw 8-) Blog has been updated to include information for 59 Crafting lvl up.

Thanks very much :mrgreen: I also can't help but notice you're one post away from 1337 Posts.

1. Wrong forum 2. Don't make topics on individual players. They can post on their own if they want.

False :mrgreen: The person under me is a half human, half penguin mutated butterfly

What I do is this: I got to the Crafting Guild with money, a needle, and my thread. I kill cows to pick up their hides. Once I have a full load, I go inside the guild and to the Tanner upstairs and have them made into Hard leather. Then I make them into Hardleather Bodies, drop, then repeat. Its about 1k or so xp per load.

8/10 I actually haven't seen you that much. Mostly only in Forum Games.

Thanks everybody. I've fully updated the blog to show my work so far this morning. Now I am going to get ready to leave, because I'm going out today. I'll be back around 4:30 or 5:00 my time (Pacific Standard). So see you all later :mrgreen:

Someones up early lol. Do you have school today?

Thanks you guys :

My entire statement summed up in 2 lines. This could have saved me 20 minutes of my time. Thanks for the nice replies so far \

Personally, I collect the Tokens lol. Current count: 8

Unicorn Puncher

Nowhere close. I'm gonna say 400.

What happens if you forget where the box is?

Bumping the Blog before I call it a night. Favorite smiley: \

Bumping your Blog for you, keep up the good work. Also read this topic I wrote if you have time (you should find yourself mentioned towards the end) : Oreo9870's Statement on Skills

Hey, I've just written another one of my Statement threads which may be of interest to you if you want a break or anyone else who would like to read it. Warning: Its long Oreo9870's Statement on Skills

I would like to begin by saying that the idea to write this was inspired by Dork Vader 0's post on my Skilling Blog. He gave me the idea to write this thread presenting my thoughts on the skills we choose to work on, and I want to thank him. If you read all of this, please leave a post telling me what you think. There are 22 Skills in Runescape, soon to be 23 with the release of Hunting. An F2P player can currently gain a maximum Total Lvl of 1485, and a P2P player can currently gain a maximum Total Lvl of 2178. The P2P Total Lvl Maximum will soon be 2277 however, with the release of Hunting. With so many skills, its hard to decide what you want to train. I am aiming this thread to discuss the skills that many players believe must be high levels. In my three months as a member, I begun to notice how important a basis many members place on Fletching. I could not walk into a bank without seeing a person going at it with a log and a knife. Other skills I have noticed that many people expect to be high are Fishing and Cooking. I do not think that the purpose of Runescape is to raise certain skills that have been deemed important by the mass majority of players. I do understand that these are an easy source of Total levels, but this brings me to my next point. It is my personal belief that we should raise skills we enjoy to work on. I will use myself as an example. I am Combat lvl 90, with a Mining lvl of 80. Many people I see on these forums and in-game will rarely have a Mining level above 65. Do you want to know why? I enjoy Mining, I always have. Ever since my first days of playing, it has been my favorite skill, and appropriately, it passes all my other skills by at least 6 levels. This is how I can will myself to spend 250+ hours mining Coal out of the Mining Guild while my brother trains and puts 10 combat levels between himself and me. This brings me to the opposite of loving a skill, hating a skill. I mean no offence to those of you who enjoy the following two skills, but I absolutely hate Herblore and Fletching with a burning passion. I have never made a single potion or a single arrow shaft in my near 2 year Runescape experience. My Herblore is 15 and my Fletching is 17 purely from quest rewards. I feel as if though I am beginning to rant, so I'll return to the topic. If you have low Fishing, theres nothing wrong with that. Personally, my Fishing lvl was actually at 1 until I had been playing for about 4 months. If it is low, it is most likely because you do not enjoy the skill, and you are under no obligation to raise it. Work on skills that you like to work on, and play for the sake of playing. I am lvl 90 with a Total lvl of 1194, while there are lvl 80's out there with Total lvls of 1400 or 1500+. Perhaps these people enjoy skilling much more than I do. Whatever it may be, I at least hope they like what they are doing. I will conclude by leaving you with this message. Dork Vader 0 used a term in his post, the "Common 'Scaper". I believe that he is referring to the players who work to raise every stat, just so that they can't be called a noob. Do not be the Common 'Scaper. Play this game because you enjoy playing it, not because you need to make yourself look good to others. Don't be like "My Fishing is so low, I should raise it or else I'll look like a noob!". So wether you're like Jesselitton staying in the Rogues Den to get 99 Cooking, or like Mr S Scope alching his way to 99 Magic, or like Tripsis doing Runecrafting to get money for 99 Construction, or even Dork Punker and his goal of 99 Slayer, be who you want to be, work on what you want to work on, and play how you want to play (as long as you follow the rules). Nobody can criticize you for doing that. Now discuss. If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~Henry David Thoreau This means that every person should go as they want, and follow what they think they want to do instead of doing as the mass majority says must be done. Remember, play for the experience of this game, not to glorify yourself to others. ~Oreo9870, Runescape's Favorite Cookie

That is some truely impressive work you've done there. I can see that you, like me, believe in working on skills that you enjoy rather than those that are expected of a person your level (I also don't like Fletching, my lvl is at 17 purely from quest rewards). I can do nothing more but to wish you the best of luck as you see your goal through to the end. ~Oreo9870, Runescape's Favorite Cookie

Thanks for the support everyone! I'm done for tonight, see you all tomorrow.

Wow Dork Vader, that was honestly one of the most well written things I've read on these forums. I'll respond to it similarly. You mention how my stats are more of a "mixed-bag" when comparing the level 80 Mining to level 57 Crafting. The reason for this is that I, unlike many Runescapers, do not believe that you should raise all skills to be at the same, or similar, level. I believe that we should work on skills that we enjoy to work on. It is for this reason that I have lvl 80 Mining, since I have enjoyed the skill since my first days in Runescape. It is also for this reason that I hate Herblore and Fletching with a burning passion, these skills are at 15 and 17 purely from quest rewards. In these skilling plans, I am doing what you describe as a "common 'scaper" would do. I do feel that some of my stats need to be raised or leveled out, and I am doing this as you and Cursed Toast plow into the Minotaur hordes. The best of luck to you and to Toast in his 100k Iron Arrow Goal. Off topic, but to further show you all my love for the Mining skill, I will say this. I bought a Rune Pickaxe in March 2005 for 30k and an Addy Pickaxe. I have had this same Rune Pickaxe ever since, it was my first and only and has served me well ever since. I have had it longer than any other item I own, even my Rubber Chicken. It rests in my bank now, but will soon be drawn out again as I power mine to 85 Mining. I will also say that if I should ever get a Skillcape, I tell you that I will never wear another Skillcape before I wear the Mining Cape. ~Oreo9870, Runescape's Favorite Cookie
