Played a lot tonight, but didn't really do any runecrafting.

 

I ended up playing quite a bit of COD again, but got this while playing:

Spent the rest of my evening afterwards finishing up requirements for Karajma elite outside of 91 RC, as well as the nooby lumbridge required tasks that are required for taskmaster but not the explorer ring, putting me here:

 

111222030535.png

 

Had a mithril dragon task when I got 99 slayer back in April, and hadn't slayed since. Finishing that refreshed my memory of my task count, as it was task #557. Went to Kuradel 2 more times to do a hellhounds task and gargoyles task (both tasks gave me an effigy, putting me at 142 total), then my 560th task were hellhounds again (I had to do this for Karajma elite). Although I slayed in welfare gear (prossy, neitz, ect.), it was still fun.

 

Not entirely sure on when I'm going to get the remaining ~325k RC xp finished up at ZMI, but I imagine it'll be soon (hopefully no later than Christmas).

 

I also deleted my goal of obtaining exactly 232 effigies. I'm still going to collect and save all effigies I get, but will probably go past 232 in the long run anyway, and seeing as I'm still not entirely sure how I want to use all my dragonkins, I'm leaving my options open.

If you care to know, Oldak in Dorgesh-Kaan boosts your rc by -2 to +2 (like a free stew) if you ask him what he discovered. From there you can use the logging trick to keep the boost until you're at the nature altar :). Good luck on completionist as well :).

Use the RC hood's free teleport option to the nature altar.

Awesome! I had no idea about that boost. I would have had to wait to grow a kitten to a cat then make stews ect. but you just saved me loads of time :D feel free to keep track of my blog and post!

 

Got this now:

Got the 610k xp in lamps ready to collect along with all of the elite armors from varrock, fally, fremmy, and karajma once I finish up the rest of my ZMI xp. I think once I finish up 91 RC my play time will be able to pick up a bit more as I become more motivated to get 90+ in the next month.

Was looking at my Glacor kills and realized I haven't gone in a while due to both skilling and the price of runes now.

 

At 13 fire surges per Glacor, with each surge costing about 1,833 gp each (current ge values), that puts the cost of each Glacor kill at about 24k in runes alone (not counting exts, ppots, ect.), which is nearly double what I was paying when I started. However it seems that armadyl dust may have dropped a bit in price while the boots have either dropped or stayed around the same in price, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to consider starting back up Glacors again. I'd prefer to wait until the price per surge drops closer to 1k again, but that may be awhile/not happen, so we'll see.

 

I would consider slayer an alternative for effigies, but it looks as though it doesn't break even anymore when using ovls/cannon/turmoil anymore, so hopefully I can figure out a decent alternative for both effigies as well as income.

 

Does anyone know how well torstols profit overall in the current market? I quit farming them a while back when I was consistently losing money on them, and was curious as to whether or not they're better now.

Didn't get any time to play tonight, oh well.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to have several hours of free time before I go to celebrate Christmas with my *drumroll* fiancée (she said yes! <3: ), so I will be getting 91 RC tomorrow afternoon.

 

Next week will consist of 91 construction, 90 smithing, and the start of 91 mining.

Currently 104k to 91 RC. Ended up playing more COD instead. I will still be able to get tonight. I also bought enough shards and secondaries to use my 4,813 crimson charms to make yaks. This will put me about 700k from 99 summoning. I ended up selling my 8k addy bars after I realized how expensive the gp/xp was going to end up being, letting me buy my dpick back as well as supplies for summoning.

Tonight was a good night. I finally finished up a goal that I've been putting off for over 2 weeks, 91 RC. From this point on I'm done crafting runes for training purposes. ZMI burnt me out. I'm hoping that troll invasion, penguins, JOAT (starting next month), random event xp lamps, and opening my own effigies, along with assisting later on down the road (around 95 or 97. getting a 91 assist is impossible), will get me 99 fairly quickly, possibly before most of my other skills:

 

111226004137.png

 

I was about to start working on construction when I randomly decided to train to 99 summoning:

 

111226030721.png

 

It was nice because I had the funds available, as well as an excess of charms. It took me 2 hours to gain the 2.8M xp needed (would have been much shorter in comparison if I could have afforded to do all the xp with 3500 geysers, but was too expensive). I ended up making 4,813 yaks and 900 geyser titans, and lost a total of 13M once everything was said and done. I know I said I wasn't going to get anymore 99s until the day I maxed previously, but I don't see that being feasible with the way I like to play. Getting 99s occasionally keeps me motivated to keep going, so I'll probably just go with the flow from this point on. Not sure how many more effigies I'll get; it really just depends on when fire surges become cheaper for Glacors (last time I checked they were 2k/surge). I'm considering going back to the Ganodermics, as I've heard they still turn a profit along with a somewhat decent effigy rate.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to try and use up my 13.8k mahog planks for 91 construction, then open my many construction effigies. Afterwards I'm going to work on 90 agility and 91 mining by the end of this week.

 

Doesnt have a steel titan yet.

Son, I am disappoint.

I accomplished a lot today.

 

First off, my original goal was to get 91 construction, and I managed to knock 87-91 out of the way fairly quickly:

 

111226191541.png

 

This of course in turn led to me opening all of my construction effigies. I'm currently 353k from 93 construction just from opening effigies today after 91, and will be getting all xp from now on from opening effigies and assists:

 

111226192007.png

111226194951.png

 

Getting me this:

 

111226194706.png

 

I had a little extra cash and time left over, and noticed I had a few particular types of effigies building up, so I decided to get a couple of extra levels:

 

111226205451.png

 

111226230355.png

 

Which then allowed me to open a lot of effigy stages. I realized I've gained over 9M xp in the last 48 hours, which is quite a bit for me.:

 

111226202037.png

111226231307.png

 

Afterwards I sorted out all of my effigies again, and wanted to see how many of each I have. Mining is the only combo still locked for me, hence the 13 starved effigies:

 

111226231745.png

 

I don't have the skills to begin opening any gorged effigies yet, but when I do, I imagine I'll just start using them on runecrafting.

 

...and finally, right as I was about to get off, I was stuck staring at my 10M cash stack, wondering what I should invest it on. Somehow I decided to use it on prayer, although I don't know why. I knew it was going to be expensive in the end, and seeing as I just spent 30M+ on construction and 13M on summoning last night, why not just spend another 15M on prayer and get 138 combat in the process? I ended up having to sell everything worth value in my bank (including high alching my skillcapes @ 59.6k ea) to afford all the dragon bones, but oh well. A couple of hours later:

 

111227024332.png

 

The only item left of value on my account now is my dragon pick, which I wasn't going to sell because I need it for mining badly. I don't mind that my net wealth is only about 10M right now. I have played and leveled just fine off of a low net wealth throughout the entire life of my account, and things tend to have a way of working out, so I'll be fine. Starting tomorrow I'm going to begin working on 91 mining to unlock my last effigy combo, as well as 90 agility to knock out another 90s cape requirement. Currently only 14 levels away from the 90s cape. I imagine I'll have it sometime around the first part of January.

mining should make a small chunk of cash back anyways

That's the plan, but probably not much. I need 30k gold ore for 91 mining, which I'm going to smelt when I'm feeling lazy for 92 smithing. Bars should sell for a couple mil.

 

Also, I'm beginning to notice a lot of people are desperate for 98 craft assists for crafting ganoderpic armor. I assisted like 3k crafting xp last night to various people for 350k, so I might keep doing that when possible.

This took a lot longer than I thought it would, but got it nonetheless, as well as 87+ all skills:

 

111228000252.png

 

Took 5.5 hours using mining juju + yak so I could semi-afk while watching yt vids and browsing 9GAG. 91 definitely won't happen this week, but gonna keep mining nonstop till 91 anyway.

Haha yeah. I'm really wanting to wait to open all my gorged ones on the same day, but I may be tempted to start opening them the second I get a level for one of them lol, but we'll see. At least 99 runecrafting will come really fast :P.

Got a lot more mining xp done at work yesterday (284k):

 

111229084417.png

 

I should get 88 today, and then I'm going to take a small break and train agility. A little over 300k off 88, but if I can get that today, I can boost to 93 agility, letting me open 15 nourished effigies for a fast 300k xp, making 89 a breeze. I would like to get all that done today, but we'll just see what happens.

 

I also decided to sell my gold ore (it's about 275 ea right now) instead of smelting all those bars. I was going to do Glacors again, but with fire surges at 2k/ea, I don't see them bringing in profit, so I bought a polypore staff and some ppots. When I get tired of skilling for a bit I'm going to head down there and try to make some money (and get more effigies!)
