Monday, January 1st, 2007 | Happy New Year!

As I sit here drinking the last of my sparkling cider, I think

about 2007, a new year, starting out fresh, awaiting to be filled

with all kinds of events and goals. I know my blog isn't much of

anything now, but trust me, give me a day, and I will fill it up

with some cool stuff!

Saturday, January 6th, 2007 | Welcome to my Journal

(I have decided to restart my journal today and add some

more features.) Well, I finished my range and firemaking

goal today, they only had 1 level each until the goal. I have

my format for my blog all planned out now, during part 1, while

I get all the skills I need, I will be using this format. Once I have

all the levels, I will clean it out and use a completely different

format. During part 2, I will not use daily entries, but an entry

for each quest instead.

Saturday, January 6th, 2007 | Check, Check, Check!

Today, I finished up three goals, wow! I've decided to work on my

mining next. Well, as I stated in the intro, I'm trying to tackle my

goals in a creative way, not stand like a mindless zombie clicking

a rock for 5 hours. My first plan is to mine a bunch of gems, then

mine/smith a bunch of gold, make jewelry, then enchant them, for

they will come in handy in the future. (For example, rings of forging

for smithing training, rings of dueling for teleportation, rings of life

for dangerous questing, etc.) Before today is over, I'd like to complete

the Animal Magnetism quest, too, so as I complete the rest of my goals,

I can obtain a lot of steel arrows which might be useful later.

Sunday, January 7th, 2007 | Week 1 Has Come And Gone

Well, the first week of 2007 has come and gone, but has not been

wasted. In that time, I completed 6 skill goals. I got all my jewelry

finished, so I now plan to use train mining and smithing together.

I have also added a "Thanks To" section today to give thanks to

those who've helped me throughout this long journey.

Monday, January 8th, 2007 | Mining, mining, mining...

Well, I got Between a Rock... finished today, opening one

of the most amazing places to get your mining up (along with

smithing). After the quest you gain access to the mine, which

contains 146 gold ore. It's pretty much right beside a bank,

except for the fact you need to pay 3 gold ores to bank. After

I obtain the 880 gold ore (which will finish my mining goal), I'm

going to switch to Goldsmithing Gauntlets, which gives more exp

than even mithril when smithing gold.

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 | (Still) Mining, mining, mining...

Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, I was a bit busy and forgot to. I now

have 168/880 gold ore now, it's not all of it, but it's good. Not much

interesting happening, just the same pounding on a rock...

Well, I guess I have to get even more ore now that it's 63 instead of

59. In the end, I got 336 out of....way too much :P.

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007 | (Yes, still) Mining, mining, mining...

Still mining, not really anything to post.

Thursday, January 11th, 2007 | Unable to get online

Friday, January 12th, 2007 | (What do you think?) Mining, mining, mining...)

Yes, I'm still mining sadly.

Saturday, January 13th, 2007 | Not Mining! w00t!

Well, I gave up on mining gold. It was boring, nothing interesting

happened, and it was slow. So, I smithed the gold I got, and went

out to buy some iron and coal ore. Now, I'm going to smith cannonballs

while making a profit.

Sunday, January 14th, 2007 | Cannonballs, going once, going twice...

Well, I finished smithing the cannonballs and I ended up selling them

for a total of 288,000k. Wurmy (Wurmskin, I call

him Wurmy) gave me full rune (gold-trimmed) today as a Christmas

present, which I shall never sell, ever. Also, he gave me 1000 nature

runes (wow :shock: ), and the best thing of all; despite the fact that

he quit, he's going to get on now once a week to talk and hang with

his friends.

All those cannonballs raised my smithing 2 levels, from 51 to 53,

leaving 10 levels left from my goal!

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007 | Tuesday...

Well, first off, I would like to give a big thanks to Panda, who gave me

one of my most wanted items, full wizzy (g) [well, we traded]. However,

I may have to give up this goal. You see, I realized, because the way

Jagex made it, I won't be enslaved to this goal until I get the cape. I'll

be enslaved to it forever. This goal will never end. And we all know

we can't play forever. Our time comes, whether it be soon, or afar. I'm

still thinking about, but I may just quit this goal. It's not even a goal,

really. It never ends, because I'll never meet the end. I'm not setting

a goal to high for my level, if I put my head to it I could do it. But I'd

have to stick around for a long time, and like I said before, I can't be

on forever. Our time comes, and then we must quit. Real life comes and

impacts us, and we must leave. With the quest point cape, if this happens

to me, in a week or so all of that work will be lost within a single update.

I'll sleep on it, but I'm nearing a wise decision.

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 | ON TEH HUNT! (For Honest1)

Well, I'm still going for it. I didn't get much done tonight, but I'm

on the hunt, for Honest1. (Well, I'm just waiting now until they go

to Port Sarim, I'm tired of looking :P) Again, didn't get much of

anything done, so there's not much to post.

Thursday, January 18th, 2007 | Unable to get online

Friday, January 19th, 2007 | T.G.I.F!

Well, thank goodness it's Friday. Have a couple of things to announce.

First off, I would like to thank Pasta (Pasta Chief), for helping me

so much in my smithing goal. He gave me a lot of supplies (ores

and bars) to smith into cannonballs, which will boost my smithing a lot.

After that, he's going to buy ore so I can smith cannonballs for him,

until I complete my goal.

Second, to reduce boredom while skilling, I have decided to write a

Runescape-related series, where I will release a new chapter every

Friday. I'll post my stories in the Varrock Library, and create a section

here labeled "The Bookshelf" where you can select to view it.

Happy Friday everyone!

-Skill Caster

After checking, I figured out this would finish my smithing goal! Thanks again Pasta!

I was unable to post from Jan. 19th to Feb. 3rd.

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 | I'm Back!

Sorry, I was unable to post completely for the past couple weeks, but

I should be back on track now. I finished my mining goal in that time,

and I'm only 8k exp. points away from finishing my smithing goal. Also,

today I've updated some of the Thanks To section, be sure to check that

out.

Sunday, February 4th, 2007 | So long, smithing!

Yes, finally, I have completed my smithing goal. My next one is prayer.

This one will be easy, all I need to do is find someone with a glided altar.

Monday, February 5th, 2007 | 'That'll be 152k, sir.'

Today I bought all the prayer bones I need for my prayer goal, but I

couldn't find anyone with an altar.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 | Prayer Complete!

Today, Sir Haltlar let me use his glided altar, which allowed me to

complete my prayer goal! Yay! I must say, I love retribution.

Friday, February 9th, 2007 | Fletching Complete!

I got my fletching goal completed today! Also got a role in Pasta Wars =D.

Saturday, February 10th, 2007 | Agility Complete!

I got my agility finished today, pretty exciting!

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Unable to post]

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, February 14th, 15th, and 16th 2007 | Slayer Training!

I'm just doing some slayer training today. Nothing much.

Saturday, February 17th | Slaying, slaying, slaying!

Well, currently I have been slaying, to finish my slayer goal. I'm

getting a lot of good stuff, so I'm going to create a log to display.

Also, I've added 5 more of my goals I need to the Goals section.

Actually, I've only added 3 goals, because 2 of the stats for the goals

aren't ranked in high scores yet, and they refuse to load until it's in the

high scores.

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Well, I couldn't post lately, but all I've been doing is slaying, really.

I'm now the writer for Pasta Wars \ and I'm writing a movie called

"Death of Mind", so be sure to check into that.

Thanks To:

Brandon (g_u_t_h_i_x)

Brandon has been a really good friend I met on Runescape, he's

been through a lot lately, but he's still managed to pull through. He's

currently working on a melee pure. He's helped me in countless times

though Legends, and through this journey too.

On February 1st, 2007, Brandon got his main, Brandonssx, back. It was

hacked a while back, and given 11 offenses, with no appeal. After talking

with Mod Mark R, he was given a last chance appeal, which was denied

about a week later. Recently, somehow, the last chance appeal was

changed to accepted, and he got his account back. Welcome back Brandon!

Pie (PSOfr33k)

Pie has been another really good friend, I met him when I started

Legends. He's working on a pure too, named Xl Kite Xl. I did Legends

with him, and we've been friends ever since. I'm also racing with him

now to see who'll get the QP cape first \ .

Pie's really been working hard on his pure, he would of owned me

yesterday if I hadn't of got lucky with my DDS spec. Keep working hard!

Wherzwaldo (Altra)

Wherzwaldo is a friend I met a while back, she just recently got

her quest cape and she's been helping me along the journey.

She's currently working on getting a pwnage POH.

She also donated me 100 cooked sharks to help finish up my

smithing goal. Not only that, but she's been helping me a lot in

many other ways. Thanks again!

Wurmy (Wurmskin)

Wurmy is a third really good friend. He quit, sadly, but today (1.14.07),

he's going to come on hopefully once a week so we can talk. Yay! For

Christmas, he gave me 1000 nature runes (not sure what I'm gonna do

with all those :shock: ) and full rune (g), which I'll never sell as long as

I'm alive.

Panda (Pandaman115)

Panda is a good friend I met while Legends, he HYTed me and we kept

each other added. I often talk to him a lot, he's currently working on

becoming a strong PKer. (People think I've gone crazy asking them

what their current goals are right now)

Also, Panda was barrowing and kindly donated 1914 chaos runes to me.

Thanks again Panda!

Pasta (Nick_6464)

Pasta is another good friend I met after Legends. We added each

other and he's a really great person to talk to.

He let me smith a lot of steel and cannonballs for him, getting me from

10 levels away from my smithing goal, to just 1. Thanks again!

Dark (Darkalien182)

Dark has been a good friend too, I met with him when I asked him to

flat pack some furniture for my house in preparation for my Legend's

party, which never really came to be.

Well, you've read this far (or you've just scrolled down). I hope you enjoyed the read, if you have the time, please post, have a nice day!

good luck on all your goals!

woot first post \

Wub wubs.

Good luck Skill and happy New Year!! \

Whee, we should race to see who gets a quest cape first \

Whee, we should race to see who gets a quest cape first \

Your on. :twisted:

good luck! \

Hopefully I can get my range up a bit tonight, I'm going to try to do a bit each night instead of jamming a lot into one day, since I only have a couple hours on weekdays.

Sorry to double post, but it's been two days with no post. My other two blogs were popular, what's wrong with this one? If you have the time, any posts are appreciated. Thanks!

Good luck, definitely one of the harder capes to get.

Yup, I always go for big goals \

Come on, people, keep his blog alive :

Skill is what brings all the boys to the yard

Skill is like my little child that I shall brainwash and live my dreams through him .

Thanks to everyone who kindly try to keep my blog alive : (thanks to Panda too, but he scares me sometimes. A lot. :ohnoes: [And to anyone confused from Panda, I am a male :P ])

Uh, you need at least 63 smithing to do all the quests...You're forgetting that Devious Minds requires 65. (63 if you have a Mature Dwarven Stout)

-~{[(Btw, *cough cough* looks at sig :anxious: post plawks :mrgreen: )]}~-

There's still not enough supporters :shame: Where're all the people? :uhh:

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. Great, more ore I have to mine :P

For those who wondered why I won't post today, I won't be able to get online (tonight).

good luck with doing all those quests :shock:

i think that they are boring :P but that's just my opinion :D

but aren't some quests hard for your level? :o

Well, I know they are quite hard at my level, but I think anything is possible if you work hard enough :D

Good luck getting the Quest cape! :thumbsup:
