~Blog To Master Thieving~

Featured Replies

Disclaimer: Im not a no lifer, i have a very good life. I work 50 hours a week, i have a girlfriend and i play this game for about 2 hours a day on average. Dont expect me to get 99 in a week, it'll take time and i'll enjoy it. . . So, yeah, 90% of you wont post now, but i thought i'd get it off my chest :P

 

 

 

This blog was created on: 06th August 2008 and 00:55

 

Thieving xp was time of creation: 2,250,000

 

Overall goal: Run_my_ores.png

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Introduction]I began playing Runescape about 2 years ago. I've had so many different accounts - stakers, skillers etc... and i've only ever gotten one 99 before - Fletching.

 

So now, on my newest account, Run My Ores, im going for a new 99 - Thieving.

 

The account is about 3months old and halfway through its 3rd month as a member (i spent a month on holiday - nice waste of members <3)[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Why 99 Thieving?]I love thieving. It all started when i went to do Desert Treasure and had to get 53. A friend of mine told me after 45 to read Zarfot's guide on blackjacking... I did, and got the hang of it immediately. I actually stayed there till level 80 before doing DT

 

The cape is pretty uncommon too, and only about 18,000 people have 99. Im hoping to be one of the next 1000 or so people to get it.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=How?]100% blackjacking.

 

Its extremely tedious and pain-staking, but its incredibly fast xp. Level 77-81 was about 180k xp an hour, and after 85 i expect it to reach about 200k.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=When?]I used an average of 180k xp an hour.

 

I have 10.6million xp to 99, which makes about 60 hours of playing time.

 

I play about 20 hours a week (not a huge amount but i work 30 hours a week atleast and spend alot of time with my girlfriend and mates)

 

Im hoping this goal will take about 3-4 weeks to complete, falling nicely inline with when i return to college.[/hide]

[hide=Daily log]I will use this as a record to post the amount of xp i achieved that day and the amount of time i spent playing. This will also allow me to make an average which i can use in my guide

Xp gained - 200k xp

 

Time played - 75 minutes

 

 

 

06th August 2008:

 

Xp gained - 500k xp

 

Time played - 180 minutes[/hide]

He mentioned something about moving house or moving out, im not 100% sure.

 

He's been logging in and out for the last week, but not really playing.

 

If i catch him on i'll ask.

 

 

 

Oh, and 83 thieving.

Oh, i had no idea of this. I'll ask when whoever it is logs back into the account next.

 

 

 

Im on my laptop, and unless i can find a mouse i wont be able to blackjack tonight.

 

Gonna have a look for one now and hoping i can get 85 before i go to sleep.

I wish you the best of luck on 99 thieving, I don't like the purple though :-#

Just dc'd in world 99 when that bloody bandit caught me...

 

 

 

Died, losing 3k wines and 300k cash... Was on a major role too.

 

 

 

I'll work out the xp i got for 20minutes and try to figure out how to buy back my food -.-

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Managed 60k xp in 20minutes, which is right on average.

 

Im hoping for about 180k xp an hour till 91, then about 200k thereafter

Gah got bored of blackjacking levels 58 - 61. Nice guide thought, frustrating thing to do, went and tried PP and love it =]

 

 

 

GL.

Good luck. I've spent the past 2 weeks thieving like mad and i'm a mere 250k away from 99 which I plan on getting tomorrow :)

 

 

 

I blackjacked too, it is reaaally fast xp, and you'll make a couple million gp, so in the end it's more profitable than PP. PP requires all those supplies too... and banking... getting used to it takes longer as well :thumbdown:

 

Although it probably is a bit less boring.
