Cerri - thanks for reminding me about the changes to poisoning with EoC. That makes sense. Thanks for the comments, Low_Levelled and AFO Zodiac (nice name change, by the way).

 

I took care of two Daily Challenges yesterday. One was the standard dungeoneering challenge, which is my favorite because of the amount of experience granted. I completed floor 14, earning 5K experience for the floor and 54K bonus experience, which resulted in reaching a new level (73). While in Daemonheim, I checked my token total and found I had enough to purchase a bonecrusher. This was an exciting moment for me, and I gazed dreamily at my inventory for a solid two or three seconds before snapping back to reality.

 

The second challenge I completed was to mine seven adamantite ore. I shambled down to the Lumbridge Swamps and mined the two spots there, hopping worlds a few times until gathering enough. That resulted in 17K bonus mining experience, which seems to me to be a decent amount for such a small task.

 

After that challenge, one would think I would be rushing off to kill some big-boned creatures, to see the bonecrusher in action. One would be thinking incorrectly. Instead, I spent the next three hours in Runespan, siphoning from various nodes and creatures. Not a single bone was crushed, but I did level runecrafting (82).

 

Total levels = 1,925

I like the fact that you shambled, and not merely walked. I sort of envisioned a somewhat zombie-like state. Or a Thriller dance.

 

Gratz on the bonecrusher! I got one too and half the time I forget to bring it on tasks. But the promise of passive prayer XP is nice.

About the only thing I've done in the game over the past two weeks is train in the clan citadel. I also lost my notes so I'm not really sure what all I did, but I did manage to level smithing twice (72, 73).

 

I charged my clan ring at the BBQ and earned some cooking experience, and I currently have a Daily Challenge to cook 223 cave fish. Unfortunately, they aren't buying quickly at +10% over GE price so I may not get them. I'm not really into paying a bunch extra for some cooking experience.

 

Short update, but things have been extremely busy in real-life, and it doesn't look to be lightening up any time soon.

 

Oh, I just remembered one extra thing I put in my notes: I got a rare item on the SoF about ten days ago. Next time you see my pic in a non-combat pose, you'll see the item on my head.

 

Total levels = 1,927

Get your butt moving. No more slacking! I told you about PP a long time ago! I'm glad you finally decided to try it..anyhow, still have no interest in playing again. :P

[GregorDGrim]

Thanks for stopping by, Turnpike! Yes, I'm still slacking. All that I've done since last post is:

 

- complete a Daily Challenge, cooking 223 cavefish. I received an 85K experience reward and 29 runite ore. I noticed that it has become significantly more expensive to cook now, assuming that one is buying the supplies. Things like shark and lobster used to be break-even, but not any longer.

 

- max in the Clan Citadel. I focused on mining, and reached level 78. I charged the clan ring at the firemaking plot, which gave me a 60K experience bonus.

 

- burn some maple logs at a bonfire in the GE, and spend the rest of the bonus burning curly roots at the Jadinko lair.

 

Boring, I know, but things have been very busy.

 

Total levels = 1,928
