Good luck on your hefty goals. 99 Agility ain't going to be fast. Will you be using Super Energy Pots or just being all-natural?

 

 

 

I'm not sure yet. I'll probably use energy potions. I wish I could bring my Spirit Terrorbird there. :(

 

 

 

 

 

Update on my progress: I am now level 67 Runecrafting. Got level 72 Farming, so now I can plant Magic Trees with the help of a +3 Farm boost from Garden Pies. Also I raised my summoning from level 42 to 52 in basically one day (I hoarded a lot of charms from Slayer monsters).

You can some nice goals there, I have no doubt you'll complete them all. I can tell from your previous victories that you know what you want and you go after it :)

 

 

 

You don't need it but Good Luck just the same

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your support!

 

 

 

Update: I just died at Iron Dragon. Luckily someone was kind enough to bless my gravestone and I managed to save my stuff. Here's a screenshot of my deathpile:

Whew a close one! I always try to bless other people's graves, and I'm glad people are doing the same!

W00t. Managed to removed the dreaded Warped Terrorbirds from my Slayer tasks.

Also, I finally got something decent from a Treasure Trail (something besides raw fish and runes):

A Guthix Kiteshield! Yay!

 

The treasure trail was about 8 clues long and the clue was from Iron Dragons (slayer task).

I thought about going for 99 agility once, but then I got to 80 and found that I couldn't stand going any further. :XD:

I just got Level 70 Runecrafting!!!!

 

 

 

I crafted laws until I was 61xp from level 70, then I waited in World 99 (tip.it home world and Law Running world) for someone to assist me. I waited for 10 minutes, no runners. :(

 

 

 

A really nice player Crazybabe246 helped me level, I think she's was working for Fast Laws Inc.

 

She switch to her skiller account and requested assistance from me. Bam! 70 Runecrafting!

Gained 3 Ranged levels by killing ogres (sorry Shrek).

 

Ranged Level 68 now. :)

 

 

 

My least favorite skill is actually kind of fun to train if you're using knives with Ava's Accumulator ("picks up" arrows/knives/darts for you, the arrows never actually leave your inventory). [Advice I got from the forums, I can't believe I was thinking about buying a Dark Bow for training, it's way too slow :oops: ]

 

 

 

I'm also racking up a decent amount of charms (gold especially) to help me get my summoning up.

Kicking some serious Ogre butt :twisted:

This one ogre I was killing looked familiar. But I can't figure out where I've seen him before. :shock:

 

 

 

I never realized how much new stuff opens up at Level 70 Ranged:

Here are the charms that I received after killing ogres from Level 65 to Level 70 Ranged:

Just hit 67 Hunter! \'

 

 

 

67hunterll3.th.jpg

 

 

 

Black Salamanders in the Wilderness, interesting weapon. I got 70 Ranged earlier today, so now I can finally hunt/wield these crazy things. I don't think they're good weapons cause I never see anyone actually using them. It's fun to have a flamethrower though.

 

 

 

Wielding a freshly-caught Black Salamander:

This wasn't really a goal of mine, but I just hit 75 Farming. Now I can plant Magic Trees without using Garden Pies. 75 Farming without ever buying a single seed. ::'
