June 28, 200917 yr Mat Dog89s Skilling and Achievement Blog Welcome to my Skilling and Achievements Blog! Please, take a moment to take a look and post! : News and Announcements YAY! 97 Fishing! After wanting to take a month long break, I ultimately decided that I should't. I'll be at the Fishing Trawler for 6 days. At the end of those 6 days, I will go back to fishing Monkfish or Sharks to 99. Earlier on 8/22, I got Dharok's Helm, sold it for Guthans. I went back to Barrows, but I didn't get anything else good. Back to Fishing now. I've completely re-worked this thread. I hope you like! :) My other computer crashed, so I lost some of my level-ups. WHOOPS! Tomorrow I should have 96 Fishing though, so I'll be able to upload that one. I trimmed off some of my goals because I don't think I'll have the time to finish them. They are Mining, Crafting, Smithing and a few others. I'm expecting to get 99 Fishing in 3 weeks, it should be possible. Post if you wanna come see. : [hide=My Runescape Story]There have been two skills that have always caught my attention. They are Fishing and Slayer. Since I started this account, way back in October 2005, Fishing was the first thing that I did (excluding wondering around), and enjoied when I had logged in for the very first time. It was also the first skill that I got to 50+. Since then, other skills have caught my attention, so I drifted away from training it. But now, I am back to complete my first long term goal, and to achieve my first level 99 skill; Fishing. I started fishing Sharks, but I lost some patience for it. I'll go back to fishing 40k Sharks later on. (for 99 Cooking) Right now I've decided to fish Monks to 99. Since the introduction of Slayer, it has been my method of leveling combat, and it always will be. Slayer breaks the monotony of training combat, and that is why I like it. I will achieve 85 Slayer in the year of 2010. Achievement Diaries are always fun to do. :) I finished all of them in June I believe. (I forgot the date...) But here's a pic of them all done. Achievement Diaries Completed! I actually cannot stand some quests. Espically when I did Watchtower. I started it ages ago, then I finally completed it 2 years later. LOL! When I have the time to do some quests, I will do them. [/hide] [hide=Recent Level-up Picture NEW] I know its not a level-up, but its worthy enough to be here :) I chose the Garden Habitat because I chose the Polar one first, and it was a bit plain. I haven't seen the other ones yet, but I'll change it later if I want too. All of its maxed for my level (not habitat). It cost me around 550k, which isn't bad, but I kinda thought that 400k for the obelisk was a bit much... Oh well lol. (6/18/09) Tell me which one is better? :) [/hide] [hide=Miscellania Kingdom Management]I don't like to wait months and months to collect, so I just collect once a day. I use MTK to gather supplies for skilling, but I always keep a good amount on Maples so that I can make back some of the money used from high level tree and fruit tree seeds.[/hide] Drop Logs! I like to keep a log of what drops I've received. Some things that I like to do are Barrowing, Slaying, Metal Dragons, Aviansies, GWD, KBD and more.. I always log my Slayer drops, but only the ones that I keep. I only sell my drop IF I need cash. I really only sell my good Barrows drops though. I use skills for cash. I am planning on doing some King Black Dragon solo attempts for the KBD heads. I want this item more than I want a Visage Drop. Later on, I'll be killing a lot of Metal Dragons for a few VERY important drops; Visage, Dragon Full Helm, and Dragon Plateskirt. [hide=Slayer Drop Log]My Equipment and Inventory. I'll post a pic once I have my goal items. I do not yet own items in (). Helm- (Slayer Helm) / Robin Hood Hat Amulet- Fury/ God Stole/ (Amulet of Ranging) Torso- Bandos/ Proselyte/ Dragonhide/ (Armadyl) Leggings- Bandos/ Proselyte/ Dragonhide/ (Armadyl) Boots- Dragon/ Ranger Boots Gloves- Barrows/ (Dragon Slayer Gloves) Weapon- Whip/ (Saradomin Sword)/ Rune C'bow Shield- Dragonfire Shield)/ Unholy Book Cape- Firecape/ Ava's Accumlator Quiver- Broad Bolts/ Nothing I always bring Bunyips or (Unicorns with Scrolls), Super Sets, Ranging Potions and Monkfish, Sharks or Pineapple Pizzas depending on the task. So, I've been taking very frequent breaks from Fishing to do a few Slayer Tasks. I haven't been logging them yet, but I do have a few that I can remember. I though I'd post seeing as this area of my thread is a bit empty. =( There is a pattern in my tasks.... It really made me mad.. I WILL have a better log in about a month. :) Abberant Spectres 3 Rune Full Helms 2 Lava Battlestaves Alot of Herbs Fire Giants 1.5k Fire Runes 2 Rune Scims 1 Fire Battlestaff 1 Loop Half 1 Tooth Half Abberant Spectres (again..) 2 Lava Battle Staves 2 Rune Full Helms 1 Dark Mystic Robe Bottom (first mystic drop, ever) Alot of Herbs and Toadflax seeds (12 of them :shock: ) Fire Giants (yup...) 1 Tooth Half 2k Fire Runes 2 Tooth Halves 1 Fire Battle Staff Abberant Spectres (I'm still on this task, I may skip it) So yea, that's my Slayer Log for 8/11 - 8/12! It was very boring getting them over and over and very irritating getting them again and again... And again!![/hide] [hide=Barrows Drop Log (coming soon)]Coming soon. I'll start logging the runes I get starting 8/22 Dharok's Armour Helm - 1 (8/22) Mind Runes- 6,170 Chaos Runes- 5,767 Death Runes- 2,140 Blood Runes- 1,903 Bolt Racks- 744 Half Keys- 2 Dragon Meds- 0[/hide] [hide=Metal Dragon Log]In progress. Just posting my kill count for tonight.[/hide] [hide=King Black Dragon Log (coming soon)]Coming soon.[/hide] Goal Planner! This part of my blog is new. :) I'll be keeping my Skill and Item Goal Tabs here as well as a monthly planner. I am totally planner person as it keeps me organized and helps to get my goals done. It's mostly for my benefit, but its here for anyone to look at what I'm doing. Right now, I'm working on planning the rest of the year out. If you haven't read my skill goals, you'd see that I'm doing a few the hard way, and so making sure I have everything in order will help a ton on achieving that particular goal. :D BRING YOUR INNER GEEK OUT!! (lol) [hide=Skills and Skill Goals

August 14, 200916 yr Author Keep up the good work! :) Small suggestion: Save pics in PNG instead of JPEG. Better quality. :thumbup: :twss: How are they bad quality? I don't see a difference really..
August 15, 200916 yr Author I got 89 Cooking early this morning, at like 4am lol. Comp broke and i lost it. So yea, i still do not have a recent level up for thisl :oops:
August 16, 200916 yr Keep up the good work! :) Small suggestion: Save pics in PNG instead of JPEG. Better quality. :thumbup: :twss: How are they bad quality? I don't see a difference really.. Compare these two pictures. JPEG is on the top, PNG on the bottom: Little differences, but the JPEG is a little grainy (compare the chat boxes, the willow logs, and my little heart health status thing). ^ Blog.

Hmm, Thanks :) I saw a difference in the pics that you posted, but i didnt see one at all when I took one of my own. When I upload a new pic ill try both and see if I see anythig different. :) I was actually saving as a bitmap not a jpeg.
