<4 Thanks Vapour #2 <4

[Laura]

Alright, well, I just have to say that this may be a lengthy story, so if you want to skip down to the achievement you can, it's at the bottom in hide tags.

 

 

 

Well, first I just have to say what a wonderful community this has turned out to be since my last Rate This!, I've made a lot of friends and many of which have helped me along the way. While I have to many to name, and the fact that I'm forgetful and bad with names (don't feel bad if I left you out), I'd like to name a few. First and foremost is Vapour, also known as Sina J. He has, without knowing it at the time, inspired me to "Get Rich in 90 Days", or to get a partyhat. Well, that didn't turn out as planned, so I recently made a blog known as "Getting Rich in 44 Days", which to my surprise, was a success. Vapour made a Rate This!, I don't know, a year an a half ago(?) about F2P merchanting and how he finally got a partyhat. Now, I just had to have one.

 

 

 

Another great person is Master_Smither, also known as Runescapew44. He was on his way to 99 runecrafting, while I just happened to be money that way. Somehow we met and that turned into a race to get 91/99. However, I never stuck with deadlines very well and he beat me (and is still beating me :lol: ). Needless to say though, He was the one who made me realize just how amazing runecrafting can be for money making. I stuck to that and got to where I am today, 92 runecrafting. I've made millions this way, and would suggest to anyone who wants to make money to runecraft.

 

 

 

Another great friend, although not a TIF'er is Blank_91. He also had a purple partyhat and has always been a great friend since we met. Sadly, he has moved on from Runescape and is working on tricking out his car. :? Footashi, we went on our first Dk trip together, once maging without a suicide, which didn't turn out to well. He's quite funny, although extremely random. He's been to most of my achievements and parties, it's been great man. Bran Flakes, or Brandon917, although we recently just met it's been great. We've gone to a lot of events together, and he's recently gotten a lot of levels such as 99 Attack, and today brings 85 Mining. Congratulations Bran Flakes. :) He's been the best friend on here that I've had for awhile, and supports me in any situation. Him, his favorite smiley, and I have been talking for days on end. He usually keeps me up until 3am. He's great. :) Jives, or Jesus M4, has been a great friend of mine. We talk a lot and really just helps to have someone to talk to. He made it a lot easier to runecraft because of this. I someday hope to go duo Sara with him. ILU Jives!

 

 

 

Ollyc3, we're writing an intense action packed novel together. Intheclubio, Toastwhatshisface, Lady H, Inuashakent and his amazing guides and ZOMG INEFFICIENTNESS, Eagle Tas, Littleboy, Littlebig, Da Rich Hobo. Anyone else, I'm sorry if you're name isn't on here, I didn't forget you, I'm just tired. :(

 

 

 

Alright moving on.

 

 

 

To start things off, about three years ago I was dirt broke. Litterally. I was a member chopping Yew logs to get my first set of Ahrims (3M at the time). Well, while doing so, I met someone named Stelthcobra. We became the best of friends, and still talk to this day. He helped me with everything, and even helped me obtain my first Abyssal Whip, which was quite the improvement for me at the time. After this, I began to browse TIF and became a member. This is where I learned how inefficient everything I was doing was.

 

 

 

Stealthcobra stopped playing as much as he used to, and I found someone called Blank_91. He was probably the richest player I had every seen up to that point. He had a purple partyhat and various dragons armours. He got me slightly interested in woodcutting, which I started doing for a little side cash. one day, while viewing TIF, I just came across Vapours thread and knew that I had to do that as well; but I hadn't any money. I chopped magics until I could afford an 8M Easter Egg, my favorite of all rares. So I had enough money to merchant, and miraculously I made a small fortune off the egg by trading it for guthan sets.

 

 

 

With like 10M now in my pocket, I began the quest for a Green H'ween Mask. one of my friends mentioned runecrafting, which I tried my luck at. So I got to 44 and started runecrafting natures. It wasn't to long before I could buy it, for 21, and it was a great feeling. Not because I had a rare object, but because I had fulfilled a goal. I merchanted that mask until a santa. That santa became two santas. Then the day before the staking update, I decided to go to sleep that night without a rare, which was rare ( -.- ). With one market close came another; godswords. I made a killer off buying zamorak godswords and selling them.

 

 

 

I climbed up to 80M when I started to see the money disappearing, I just don't know if I was spending it on skills, losing money merchanting, or what. I was back down to 40M again, with only godsword. So in light of this, I sold it and began runecrafting again. And the money started flowing back; I regained the ~90M.

 

 

 

Not long after that I bought full 3rd Age Melee. I kept it for maybe two weeks, when I learned what a worthless piece of junk it was. It has poorer stats than barrows, and is so much more expensive. So I sold it on the GE, without junk. I still don't regret selling it really, as the money was put to better use. But again, the money was lost somehow, and I was at another setback. But runecrafting brought me up again repeatedly, and I was determined to get 91 now.

 

 

 

I began to ZMI from 82. It saved a lot of time, and thus a lot of boredom. I finally got 91RC, which is where I am today (well 92, but, meh). I finally got the money back, all 110M.

 

 

 

So you see, it really wasn't about Runescape, nor my peers, rarity, etc. It was about making a goal and sticking to it. Before Runescape I never really had anything that I had to do, or rather, what I wanted to see completed myself. Runescape has tought me many things I'm not sure words can explain, regardless of what anyone says. Typing skills, social interaction, grammar, economics, etc. To say the least, I am glad I played Runescape, and all the time I've spent into playing it.

 

 

 

So:

Today is also my birthday, I'm turning 19. I don't care if you say it's the wrong time to buy one, I had the chance and took it, I know it's dropping, but I made someone's day. I didn't sell everything I have, but I mainly just have RC supplies, which is all I do nowadays, so it doesn't really matter.

[Musky44]
