To Balter (v): to dance without particular grace or skill, but usually with enjoyment.

 

I've played RuneScape on and off for six or seven years, but I've recently started a bucket-list of all the goals I've had in my life and never completed - including an untrimmed slayer cape. I started a new account (manicgoose) and, after a few month break to get my life together, have decided to come back and make a blog to document my attempt! 

 

Me

 

I'm a student at Warwick University, England. I'm pretty involved (the president of) the charity society, Raising and Giving (RAG), at the Uni and a competitive Latin and Ballroom dancer - though I do those things for enjoyment, I take them far too seriously and so I use RuneScape to relax. How often I'm online varies dramatically between near-all-day to offline for weeks at a time, but I'll try and keep a tab of that on here. These spikes are caused by deadlines, exams, upcoming competitions and the lack thereof. 

 

Goals

 

Short-term

• Cooking Gauntlets 
• 50+ all skills
• Smoking Kills complete

Long term

Still to come

Good luck. :) 

Amongst a whole bunch of other level ups, I got 59 magic and my cooking gauntlets today.

I'm hoping to use my enlightenment aura bonuses and cooking gauntlets in conjunction to get 90 cooking and start playing around with Player Owned Ports - they seem ace. 

 

Good luck. :)

 

Thanks!
Had a good run of it so far (got 10ish Slayer levels) but I've now run out of the bonus exp I stored up (20k or so) but I'm hoping I can still get enough that my ranged/mage won't get too far ahead of my slayer to catch up with! 

 

I AM FREE FROM EXAMS!

Still at uni for the next two weeks so my playtime will be sporadic, but dayum it feels good to be free.

Having had a mayhem fortnight in my personal life, I've not been able to play much, but have recently...

• Got 50 Agility
• Got 50 Crafting
• Completed all novice quests
• Completed Temple of Ikov

I've removed the "journal" aspect from my second post and have decided instead to make a post on the blog every time I make a relative milestone (any level that ends with 0 or 5, any level above level 80) to keep it relatively well posted/bumped. Though I have a busy few months ahead I should be able to have a few milestone levels in that time! Wish me luck! 

I got 50 thieving today :)

I got 85 cooking yesterday but, because I'm new to a mac, I didn't know how to get a screenshot :(

Also just hit 65 slayer :)
