Gratz! You're doing really well. Now that you can use concentrated, it will be a breeze.

 

Thanks :thumbsup:. I've been using it for a bit and (lthough it takes a little getting used to) I can already notice the difference. Still, I kinda miss granite :P.

I missed granite a lot too. Sometimes I would have to take a break from concentrated to mine granite for a few hours.

 

Even now, I miss granite. I'm going to have to go back some time soon.

 

Good luck

Grats on the Mining levels and goodluck on 99! Mining ftw! :thumbsup:

 

Thanks Medi :thumbsup:. Great work on your goals as well, max F2P is a daunting task, but an awesome accomplishment once you reach it :D.

Same here. I'll probably take some time off (which will be when I keep getting a bad sreak of rock striker hits -.-) and go mine granite. Helps speed things upa bit, and any cash I'd miss out on is saved by my weekly rune trips (once I hit 85 of course :P).

 

I woke up really earl ths morning, so I'm kinda tired. I have to go somewhere anyway in about an hour, so I'll be out for about an hour and a half. When I get home I'll do some mining, but I'll have to stop and do my homework for all my subjects (well, mainly maths). Once thats all done, I'll do about a half hour's study then get back on runescape. All in all, I'll probably be mining for about 5-6 hours. Pretty good if you ask me :thumbsup:.

 

Calculations: Assuming that I get around 25-30K exp an hour (Let's just say 27.5K for simplicity's sake) I should get around 160K experience. So, I'll probably mine about another half hour before I go to bed to ge the level, then work on 80 up till the weekend. Wow, everything just seems to fall into place :lol:. Homework won't take more than an hour (including study) so I should be able to get in all that mining time :).

According to my progress bar I'm half of the way there to 85 mining :D.

 

130K experience to go, I've done all my study and homework so I can get back to LRC and get 79. Then I have all week to evote to schoolwork, balance it out with a bit of mining until the weekend where I'll get 80.

[hide=79 mining][/hide]

 

Took me about 6-7 hours O_o

 

Anyway, I'm gonna take a break next week and only mine a little each day, then I'll get 80 sometime next weekend. Hopefully I can reach 92 before the end of the semester. I always find that 92-99 is easier than xx-92, because It always feels like you have to get up heaps of leels when you're in the 70's to 80's, but once you get to 92 it's just a matter of one level at a time... Really easy and relaxing rather than the big rush to meet major deadlines that fit in with your daily schedule :lol:.

 

Until next week I guess :P. I'll still keep you guys updated on my daily experience gains for next week, but don't expect a level... Unless I go miner macho and power through the experience, or I get a break from schoolwork...

 

Eh, thats about it I suppose :^_^:.

Getting in a bit of mining each evening, only 10K today but every little bit counts :).

 

My Dad is been kinda stupid and won't let me touch the computer at all on weekdays (don't really get that but I always do my work and get good grades in school, so he's being stupid tbh). Well, screw that, the mine calls. I feel like a one man army facing an evil tyrant and his oppressive rule, only that tyrant is pretty much the king of my little corner of the world so :?.

 

Anyway, apart from the rousing feeling of "rebellion" (I'm laughing at that as we speak :lol:) I'm feeling good about tomorrow. I will be able to get home early and don't think I'll get much homework... Well, no maths homework anyway. Maths homework is pretty easy anyway, it's just the constant study and tests that come up... In fact, we have a test this Friday so I have to study for that... 70% or higher or I get cut from the class :o. So kinda worried about that. Just gotta study hard and smart. It's only Quadratics, it's all easy stuff... Just have trouble remembering EVERYTHING to do with it. So I gotta pretty much memorise the entire chapter in my textbook.

 

Well, I'll continue to chip away at mining, so its less work this weekend... After my cricket game of course :P.

 

Oh, I also hear that Gold is around 60K exp an hour with D pick. Cash is pretty good, but experience is all I'm worried about tbh... Rune mining is my source of income for the next year or so :lol:. Well, if it is around 60K an hour than I'll have no trouble getting to 85. Hopefully I get a lot of days free to mine and such.

 

PS: over 500K experience from last week! That weekly experience tracker is great :thumbsup:. Credits to mauranius for having it on his blog, otherwise I'd never of known about it :P.

 

Phew, that was a mouthful...

[hide=99 farming plan]99 Farming

 

Will be doing:

 

* Tree Runs

* Fruit Tree Runs

* Calquat Tree Runs

 

Level Start: 50

 

Level End: 99

 

Total Cost (subject to change):

 

Seeds required (trees):

 

Maple: 49 seeds

Yew: 1806 seeds (omg...)

 

Seeds Required (fruit trees):

 

Pineapple: 20 seeds exactly

Papaya: approx. 66 seeds

Palm: approx. 1231 seeds (bullcrap :lol:).

 

Seeds Required (Calquat):

 

Calquat: 1 Per Day, no calculations required (simply buy them everyday, one at a time till 99).

 

 

*** IMPORTANT ***

 

 

The number of seeds I will require is not accurate in any way. I have calculated most of the seeds to certain levels, but these will be off because the calculator assumes you are doing nothing but that type of tree in any given run. So, I will be buying seeds a few at a time rather than buying them all in one go, in case I'm off with my calculations and end up spending more than I should have.

 

 

LEVELS

 

 

levels 50-51: I'll be finishing off my willows, till 51.

 

levels 51-60: Mixture of pineapple and papaya seeds, with Maple as my main source of experience.

 

levels 60-68: Yews with Palm

 

levels 68-72: Yews with Palm, plant my spirit tree at brimhaven, start calquat runs until 99.

 

levels 72-99: Will be doing Yews and Palm, calquat daily.

 

 

TOTAL COST

 

 

Of course, this will be off, as I'm only adding up the seeds current prices on the grand exchange. Not taking into account payments for farmers (although I'll stop paying once I hit yew trees, as the death rate is only 14% with supercompost). I'm also not taking into account the cost of all my other supplies, dead trees, and all those little things that are too annoying or insignificant (or just plain impossible) to work out via tip.it calculator and my poor aching head :P.

 

Okay, so:

 

Maple Seeds (49): 2,758,700gp

Yew Seeds (1806): 215,275,200gp

Pineapple Seeds (20): 324,000gp

Papaya Seeds (66): 3,352,800gp

Palm Seeds (1231): 130,486,000gp

 

Total "cost": 352,196,700gp

 

Not ncluding payments, pots, supercompost, and dead seeds (calquat excluded, I'll be paying for those).[/hide]

 

Don't freak out! I'm still going with 99 mining, but once I hit 85 mining I've decided I'll be rune mining during weekdays, and also do farming runs during then with the cash from my rune mining (I'll still post my rune ore count, but I won't have anything to price check :P). It takes, like ~20 minutes for a farming run, then I can rune mine for the rest of the night (if I get any spare time of course lol). Because I never get any time to actually mine on weekdays for experience, I reckon it'd be better to maximise profits and focus on exp. gain on weekdns rather than moneymaking.

 

Hopefully I don't stray too far from my diabolical plan of pwnage :twisted: (obviously, it isn't that evil, but I like the smiley). So, there you have it; you know my runescape plans for the next year (or do you? Watch this space ;)).

nice blog and good luck ^^

 

and 99 farming... that's just insane :shock:

 

maybe you can come mine concentrated gold in w84 with me sometime :P

That'd be great :D. Once I hit 80 hit me up sometime :). And I kinda agree with you on 99 farming, well the prices at least :P. Gonna cost my a small fortune but I should be able to make back all the cash... Well, hopefully. As far as training farming, it's pretty easy.

Bud.. Get 76 Fishing. Come Fish sharks with me ;) haha! Before you know it you got 1k of them and 1.5M just sitting there lol.. I currently have over 8k in my bank from doing little bits here and there.

Tempting... I might get fishing to 76 (only 6 more levels) then fish sharks until I get 99 farming :lol:. Fishing is pretty fun tbh ;).

 

I've got some plans after 99 mining though ....

 

Oh wait I gotta go. I'll have to fill you in some other time :P.

Had to go to some school function and just got home, I gotta study then go to bed so no rs :(. Don't worry, I was mining before I left, now only 156K till 80 :D.

 

EDIT: 9th page of my spam :lol:.

Daily update: I'm another 16K or so experience down until 80 :). Although my progress over this week has been slow, I will be able to get the level on Saturday or Sunday if I get a lot of homework. Even though this week has been slow, next week will be better because I don't have another maths test until another two weeks :).

 

But now it's time for bed :P.

[hide=36 summoning][/hide]

 

and...

 

[hide=80 mining][/hide]

 

:cool:

Hit 2M mining experience today :D.

 

But my blog feels dead... :sad:.

[hide=81 mining][/hide]

 

And people complain about this skill... I feel like slapping them :lol:. That's two major levels in two days, and I'll make it a third tomorrow, possibly a fourth (or part of a fourth) if get the time. Bring it on!

 

Nearly 1/5 there to 85, one level at a time ;).

 

Once I hit 85 mining, I'll start herb runs on the weekdays and continue to level on the weekends. If I average two levels a weekend (trust me, I can do it ;)) up until level 90 I'll get 90-99 done in a flash!

 

All paving out now. it seems like the hard yards now, but I'm having a lot of fun and the experience is coming really easy for me.

 

Hopefully I can get 99 by the beginning of next school semester :D.

A lot of people do seem to complain about mining. =\

I enjoyed getting mine to 85 on my old account. :D

Its true, I reckon its the most hated skill in rs, but that just makes 99 feel heaps more epic :D.

 

I'll try and explain why I havent being on rs recently. Well, I have recently got into conact with an old friend of mine from primary school, and it turns out that he plays MW2/MW/BC2 on PC. So, for the last couple of months I've been playing with him and catching up, chatting, and just doing whatever. So runescape has kinda become a secondary thing. School is actually extremely easy at the moment, I'm focusing on maths and science as well as commerce for the SC, and I've got everything planned out till then. I've been able to study and get in heaps of gaming time, as well as hanging out with new and old friends.

 

To be honest, I have no idea when I will return to rs... Could be a few months, may not be for a few years (yes you heard me right). But, I reckon that sometime durig this year I'll be back on and mining. Until then, I'll be posting around other people's blogs and keeping up to date with the community :).

 

The dream aint dead though ;).

It's always good to catch up with old friends.

A friend of mine used to hang around me, and I took the moment to do the same.

He's moved pretty far away now and we never talk anymore, so I'm glad we spent the time we did instead of being on Runescape. :)

Couldn't have said it better myself :).

 

I will be getting back to mining sometime shortly, with holidays coming up and all I'll have a lot of spare time so I'll probably play runescape when there's nothing to do. But I reckon I'll start playing a bit earlier, because my exams have all finished and I only have one project which I have to work on atm. So heaps of spare time :P.

Great work with the mining! Keep it up. :thumbsup:

It's good to take breaks every so often. I myself am just returning from a few months of aimlessly wandering the forests of Gielinor and living like a hermit (you'd be amazed at the length of beard a female character in RS can grow :lol: ). Let us know when you're back. Like I said before: RuneScape will still be here.

:lol: Its great to see that you're back! I'll be playing as F2P once I start up again, probably for a while, so if you can help me out with mining I'd be grateful :D.

It's great to see that you're back as well. Just can't resist the siren call of the mine, can we? :lol: I wish I could tell you I've found some magical new way of mining in F2P, but iron is still the fastest xp. On a less discouraging note, you don't necessarily need to be on a full world to make decent xp/hour.

 

Mining in F2P tends to max out around 36-38k/hour, but you can still make 30-32k/hour on a world with under 500 people. Heck, this morning I made over 30k/hour on a world with only 350! Try to find an empty spot in either Rimmington or Al-Kharid with three rocks close together (I like Rimmington personally, it tends to be quieter).

 

Good luck my friend. Hope you can get your membership back soon so you can return to concentrated gold.

Thats cool, I don't mind experience rates much, as long as I'm having fun :D. No rush for membership, though I would like some cash for other goal's I've decided to complete in the future :P. *cough* Runecrafting *cough*.

 

Guess I'm heading off to the mine then :lol:.

Good to see you're back! :)

 

Also, about your "F2P boss monsters" thing, we got it in the form of Dungeoneering so it's alright. :P
