That should keep me busy. I'm also thinking about going for another 99, but I don't know yet. 99 Fishing? 99 Mining? or something a bit easier like 99 Cooking or 99 Fletching? Not sure yet.

Good luck on your hefty goals. 99 Agility ain't going to be fast. Will you be using Super Energy Pots or just being all-natural?

Lol gl.

I'm not sure yet. I'll probably use energy potions. I wish I could bring my Spirit Terrorbird there. :(

Update on my progress: I am now level 67 Runecrafting. Got level 72 Farming, so now I can plant Magic Trees with the help of a +3 Farm boost from Garden Pies. Also I raised my summoning from level 42 to 52 in basically one day (I hoarded a lot of charms from Slayer monsters).

W00t! Just hit 68 Runecrafting. :)

You can some nice goals there, I have no doubt you'll complete them all. I can tell from your previous victories that you know what you want and you go after it :)

You don't need it but Good Luck just the same

Thanks for your support!

Update: I just died at Iron Dragon. Luckily someone was kind enough to bless my gravestone and I managed to save my stuff. Here's a screenshot of my deathpile:

Whew a close one! I always try to bless other people's graves, and I'm glad people are doing the same!

W00t. Managed to removed the dreaded Warped Terrorbirds from my Slayer tasks.

Also, I finally got something decent from a Treasure Trail (something besides raw fish and runes):

A Guthix Kiteshield! Yay!

The treasure trail was about 8 clues long and the clue was from Iron Dragons (slayer task).

Nice TT. Good luck with all your summer goals, you're in for a lot of work and hours! Don't give up! ^^

Congratulations on the TT and good luck with all your goals!! :thumbsup:

I thought about going for 99 agility once, but then I got to 80 and found that I couldn't stand going any further. :XD:

Check this out, this is after a week of Manage Thy Kingdom. 9 on Maples, 6 on coal.

My results:

Here are my seeds I got:

Total worth of 1 week!

1 Spirit Seeds, 2 Magic seeds!! \ \ \

Whoo hoo. 69 Runecrafting! :thumbsup:

I just got Level 70 Runecrafting!!!!

I crafted laws until I was 61xp from level 70, then I waited in World 99 (tip.it home world and Law Running world) for someone to assist me. I waited for 10 minutes, no runners. :(

A really nice player Crazybabe246 helped me level, I think she's was working for Fast Laws Inc.

She switch to her skiller account and requested assistance from me. Bam! 70 Runecrafting!

Now it's on to 70 Ranged. (I hate ranged. :evil: )

Thanks for posting in my blog.

Good luck with your goals!

Gained 3 Ranged levels by killing ogres (sorry Shrek).

Ranged Level 68 now. :)

My least favorite skill is actually kind of fun to train if you're using knives with Ava's Accumulator ("picks up" arrows/knives/darts for you, the arrows never actually leave your inventory). [Advice I got from the forums, I can't believe I was thinking about buying a Dark Bow for training, it's way too slow :oops: ]

I'm also racking up a decent amount of charms (gold especially) to help me get my summoning up.

Just reached Level 70 Ranged!

Making knives with Varrock Armor #3 (Love that armor )

Kicking some serious Ogre butt :twisted:

This one ogre I was killing looked familiar. But I can't figure out where I've seen him before. :shock:

I never realized how much new stuff opens up at Level 70 Ranged:

Here are the charms that I received after killing ogres from Level 65 to Level 70 Ranged:

Me ceremonially alching my red d'hide. Don't need it anymore since I have Black D'hide:

Whoa, got Level 76 Magic after doing a home teleport. Didn't even realize I was about to level. Gotta love surprise leveling. :lol:

Just hit 67 Hunter! \

Black Salamanders in the Wilderness, interesting weapon. I got 70 Ranged earlier today, so now I can finally hunt/wield these crazy things. I don't think they're good weapons cause I never see anyone actually using them. It's fun to have a flamethrower though.

Wielding a freshly-caught Black Salamander:

68 Hunter! :

69 Hunter. ;)

Switching to falconry, in order to keep my sanity.

Dashing kebbits, here I come!

Did it! 70 Hunter!

3 more skills remain...70 Summoning, 70 Herblore, 70 Construction...

I left the skills that involve money for the end...

This is gonna hurt my wallet....

This wasn't really a goal of mine, but I just hit 75 Farming. Now I can plant Magic Trees without using Garden Pies. 75 Farming without ever buying a single seed. :

Some of my Slayer images...trying to gather charms...

Unlocked Slayer Helmets

GL with your goals Locust :P

See you on Lightning

Just hit 60 summoning! :)

All skills are 60+ once again. \

Congrats on 75 farming and 60 summoning!

Nice job :
