August 14, 200718 yr INTRODUCTION I've decided my Runescape goal is to try and gain at least one level (in any skill) each day. In RL I work full time and my daughter, Daisy, was born in November so I'm never going to be able to devote 100s of hours a week to Runescape. When I started this blog I had a bunch of levels below 60 to level. Now I don't! Luckily Summoning looks like its going to be a fairly challenging one to get up to 60! I'm currently just using the charms I get while on Slayer, so we'll see how far I can get that way... Come and see how I get on with my aim. Or HYT me if I'm in game!

August 14, 200718 yr good luck \ sounds bloody hard :-s but i'm sure if you try hard you'll be fine O:)
August 14, 200718 yr Author Thanks for your support Mylez! Fising in Shilo Village this morning. I've mostly ignored fishing apart from when I've been desperate for food as I find it one of the most boring skills (strangely I find fletching therapeutic though). I was going to buy 1000s of feathers from merchants on the forums, but luckily found the Fishing Hut in Shilo usually has full stocks, so I can buy 50 feathers for every load of fish I catch. Was able to level up without too much effort (and semi AFK although multiple logging and fishing spots moving seemed to slow up the process). I ideally want to get my level up into the 60s so I can catch Karambwan for level 2 Karamja gloves, but I think I'm going to have to alternate with other skills so I don't getting fishing burn out!
August 14, 200718 yr Good luck, and congratulations on you becoming a father (or mother? :anxious: ) :). You will do fine untill you get to 70+ :P Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)Dagannoth kings drops: 73Barrows item count: 51GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)Whips: 4Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

August 14, 200718 yr Author Thanks Gremmy. Yeah it'll reach crunch time in a few months when I run out of easy levels but I'll have the excuse of having my new daughter then.. you never know, sleepless nights might be cured by a bit of Runescape. Meanwhile have just bumped Herblore up. Had a load of Harralander stored from Farming and made energy potions from chocolate bought from the gnomes. Figure energy pots might come in handy at some stage and its easy exp. PS "Make All" rocks for herblore!
August 14, 200718 yr good luck \ sounds bloody hard :-s but i'm sure if you try hard you'll be fine O:) mylez took the words out of my mouth :-#
August 14, 200718 yr Good luck with your goals, hope you have fun getting there. :thumbsup: "Boy, sure would be nice to have some grenades, don't you think you think?"
August 14, 200718 yr Good luck! The begin will be easy, but it will get harder :( Have fun! :) Animum debes mutare, non caelum.
August 14, 200718 yr Orginal goal :) You'll be fine for a long time :) Later it'll get harder. Good luck! :D
August 14, 200718 yr Good luck, it will be pretty hard I think! :ohnoes: :P :D pixel avvy by me deviantART
August 14, 200718 yr good luck, if you do get a level a day it will take you 956 days to max out all the skills \ thats thats 2 years and 2 thirds about. Luck be a Lady
August 14, 200718 yr G'luck, going to be gettnig harder by every lvl you achieve :P Runescaper since June 2005Blog
August 14, 200718 yr Author Hey guys thanks for all your support. I know its going to be a tough call when all my skills get towards 70. Especially as some days I'm only on for like half an hour a day! But I'm really loving all your support and the PMs I get while I'm in game (HYT Dude). I'm hoping to get 71 mining tomorrow which will be a big one. Tomorrow's also my MTK collection day so with a bit of luck I'll get enough tree seeds to get another farming level. Thanks again guys, will let you know how I get on tomorrow.
August 15, 200718 yr Author Well there's a biggy done - 71 mining. Completed mining iron just north of Yanille. Now with coal from MTK I can start smithing steel and cannonballs. Hopefully aim for a smithing level tomorrow.
August 16, 200718 yr Author Another fishing level at Shilo Village achieved without too much pain (this level seemed to go a lot faster than the last one). Done by 9.30 am so can spend any time I get today mining iron. Have got quite good fish stocks saved now for cooking levels (fish pie anyone? - might help speed up future fishing levels). Might start smithing tomorrow....
August 16, 200718 yr Heya. Original goal, and happy to see that some adults play this wonderfull game even though of full time jobs, etc.. You dont need to be able to spend countless hours to enjoy yourself :). You seem to be pretty self sufient, and you have alot of pretty even stats - also, 71 mining, eeew.. Been playing for 2 years and i struggled for 70.. Good luck in the future :).
August 16, 200718 yr Author Just updated my sig - didn't realise runeweb needed telling to update. Guess you all thought i was lying about my level ups :oops: Got my mining to within a couple of hours training of 72, so needed a bit of R&R. Off to the rock crabs to collect pearls. Soon have enought to go dragon hunting....
August 17, 200718 yr Author I hope runescape is still about when im an adult. Good luck! :thumbsup: Me too *lol* (physical age 30, mental age under review) Smithing 62 achieved this morning. Seemed to get into a nice rhythm smithing steel, and then cannonballs at Port Phantasmasys. Getting a good rhythm seems to be the key to skilling into the high 50s and above. Some days you can get into it and some days you can't (and then you go kill things!).
August 18, 200718 yr Author 10k exp to go for another smithing level but stuck in a car park with a flat battery - what a way to spend the day!
August 18, 200718 yr Author 45 prayer - feel bad as had been keeping this one for emergency use (was only 30 xp below levelling). Oh well an emergency is an emergency - hopefully will have more time tomorrow.
August 19, 200718 yr Author 53 Thieving - had to find the easiest level to get again today - 43 pickpockets of a Master Farmer. Managed to get 2/3s of the way to next level at Rogues Den safes. Back to smithing tomorrow
