1. History

 

 

 

First of all, Im very proud to have achieved this goal. Everyone that knows me well can confirm that Im good at setting goals which I never finish. I like to set goals because even if I dont finish them, Ive come closer to finish them later on.

 

 

 

So why did I finish this goal? Well When coming back to RuneScape after a small break, I decided Id start fishing. I started at around 250k from 96 I think, so I got that pretty quick. A number of people told me to get 99, but I always told them that I was just going to fish until I got bored. I ended up with 3 new daily records of 450k xp (Four of my top 5 fishingxp/24h is 450k xp, the other one is 456k) and 960k from 99, so I decided Id get 2000 Total with that. I promised myself a long long time ago to get 2000 Total with a 99.

 

 

 

Since I was going to get 83 Slayer and 80 Agility as spare-levels anyway (hence that I was 98 Fishing but only 1984 Total), I decided those were going to be a part of my 1-man party aswell. And as I was 20k from 74 Farming and wanted to get 100k+ Farmingxp in a day (for individual highscores on Runemonkey), 75 Farming became a fourth level to get at my little party. So 75 Farming, 80 Agility, 83 Slayer and 99 Fishing.. Thats four nice milestones, dont you think?

 

 

 

2000 Total has never been a real dream-goal of mine. If its one level Ive always wanted to get, its 1800 Total. Im pretty sure thats because of Oddfaery2. He got 1800 Total..at some point (cant even remember with what skill/level) and that got stuck in my head for some reason. You see, he was my secret role-model when I was around 1k-1,2k total. I dont know why, I just thought he was really cool. 1800 Total was at the time also, in my opinion, the level separating the average player from the really skilled players.

 

1800 Total was achieved, together with 90 Mining. I was tired of RuneScape at the time and decided to quit right after leveling, ending my journey when I had reached my most longterm goal ever (since I set it 800 levels before I got it) But, as you can see, I came back. No real surprise, since that was just one of my attempts to quit. Ive tried to a lot of times.

 

 

 

Between 1800-1875 Total, I only got 3 Slayerlevels, getting me to level 73. After that, though, I got more involved with combat. I started slaying just a couple of days before the release of Summoning, and raised my level from 73 to 80. That gave me 81 -> 92 Defence and a different view about so called combat noobs. It really isnt that easy to max melee after all.

 

 

 

At 1975 Total, I took another break, this one for about 3 months. What I did when I got back was, as I said earlier, fishing.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Levels

 

 

 

I managed to get almost all of the levels (messed up Farming) right after eachother at the same place thanks to six genie lamps, the three experiencelamps from the Lumbridge Achievement Diary and the two experiencelamps from Burthorpe (after that quest). Eight lamps too much cant hurt, right? Hidden levels are btw 70 Construction, 80 Hunter and 52 Summoning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Drops and Charms

 

 

 

These are the drops I got from 81-83 Slayer or so

 

 

 

 

Charms from 73-83 (note that I got even more since I have 52 Summoning)

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Whats next?

 

 

 

To be honest, Im not really sure. Im not that far from 99 Defence, so I am very sure Ill get that before 2050 Total. Im also going to try and get 85 Agility and 80 Crafting. And I should try and make some money to raise my Summoning and other buyables. Well see.
