74/76 Firemaking: Burning up Port Phasmatys

I've started a couple blogs before, but they've never worked out, mainly because I lost interest not too long after I started the blog. Not this time, I hope.

I have 76 firemaking banked, so I'll be burning logs for a while.

That was after almost dying to both Karil and Dharok in the same run, so I think the helm is well deserved. [/hide]

Before the blog, I had 5 barrows drops: Ahrims skirt, Dharoks helm, Ahrims hood, Veracs plateskirt, and Karils bow (no screenshots of those).

Haven't posted in a while; haven't give up in my 63 herblore goal, I'm just using my kingdom for it now, so it'll take a bit longer. I'm going back to slayer and taking a break for skilling at 70.

68 Slayer caught me totally off-guard, but I'm staying true to my goal and working on herblore now. I'm not likely to get much done today, or the rest of this week, really (won't be here the 20th or 21st, most likely). Progress is likely to be slow, but oh well.

Didn't get much done yesterday, if anything. I'm currently still working on that Cave Horror task, still hoping for a black mask drop, but no luck so far. I also learned that bringing Guthans and healing off the Albino Bats isn't the most effective way to kill them. Better off bringing a nearly full load of monkfish and meleeing them.

School starts up again tomorrow, so progress will be a lot slower.

April 13, 2007

Just realized today is Friday the 13th. In that case, I'll try to avoid using Guthans today; my bad luck is really bad. But if I get a good task to use Guthans on, I'm going to press my luck.

I'm going to stop at 68 slayer and then get 63 herblore. I've wanted to make Super Restore potions for quite a while.

Previous goals:

[hide=76 Fishing]April 10, 2007

Finished One Small Favour last night; started Garden of Tranquility in the morning, and hope to have it and Swan Song completed soon.

Finished all required quests; if you want to pay a visit, I'll be fishing monkfish on world 99.

April 11, 2007

I've just been fishing, so there isn't much that can be said. This shouldn't take too much longer.

April 12, 2007

Finally! Now: on to slayer![/hide]

[hide=85 Mining][hide=Intro]I've always loved mining. I used to play on Classic, and when I did, mining was my highest skill, even though I don't think it ever got over 50 (I didn't play much in Classic, obviously). Right now, I'm going after 85 mining, one of the big milestones in mining, and because it's quite a good money maker.[/hide]

[hide=The Method]I have a relatively unique mining method, allowing me to bank all my ores and barely slowing down my mining rate. I got sick of powermining when I was f2p for a month, and I want to make some money on the way to 85 mining.

Today, I manged to acquire 28 glory amulets, allowing me to use this technique most effectively. Here's my mining routine:

1. Teleport to Ardougne, wearing charged glory, boots of lightness, and wielding a rune pickaxe.

2. Run east and north to the mine just outside of Ardougne and mine a full load of iron.

3. Rub glory, teleport to Edgeville, deposit iron ore, take out Ardougne teleport runes.

4. Start over from the beginning.[/hide]

[hide=Number Crunching]One problem: I'm running low on runes after selling almost all of my rune supply to buy glories. I'm down to 130 law runes and 189 water runes. Here's a bit of number crunching (all estimates)

30k iron ore to mine

1200 trips to Ardougne and back

2400 law runes

2400 water runes

I'll be mining the essence and crafting all the runes myself, cutting down on costs and the amount of iron I need to mine (I'm mining pure essence as I type this). Once all this is done, I should make 3 million from selling iron ore.

I have other goals, yes, but it's best to take one thing at a time. I won't be too ambitious; this doesn't seem like an impossible goal to me.

In summary:

130/2400 law runes crafted

189/2400 water runes crafted

0/30000 iron ore mined

Any donations are appreciated, but I won't force you to donate; I hate asking people for help when I'm working on a goal. [/hide]

[hide=Daily Blog]March 26, 2007

Finished buying 28 glories, currently working on restocking on the runes I sold to buy the glories. Will edit again when I finish for the day, with ess total and anything else noteworthy.

Mined 1205 pure ess; have enough regular ess to make all the water runes. Will put some pictures up tomorrow. If you have any pictures you want to see, post here.

March 27, 2007

Finished mining 2400 pure ess; only problem is I got pked going into the abyss, so I need to get my pouches back. Problem there: the leeches don't think I need pouches, so I might be here a while getting them back. This gets frustrating very quickly.

Gave up after my computer crashed twice; I'll pick up with the runecrafting tomorrow.

March 28, 2007

Didn't do much mining; crafted runes and got sick of it. Forgot to update blog.

March 29, 2007

Did a bit of mining, but spent more time distracted. Have little motivation to mine at the moment.

April 1, 2007

Been a little lax about updating and mining, but I did get this:

Banked that trip and decided to call it quits for the night.

April 2, 2007

My computer is lagging like crazy for some reason. I guess it's because I'm trying to download too many files at once. Because of lag, I decided to stop mining for the day. Got a bit annoying.

April 5, 2007

I've been neglecting the blog, mostly due to my sudden obsession with anime. Looking around here, I found the perfect solution: make the video small enough to fit the RS window and RealPlayer on the same screen. Now there's less chance for boredom while mining.

Also, got a level today:

2 more until my goal, then I need to find something else to occupy my time. Any good ideas? I like being able to skill and make money at the same time.

April 6, 2007

Fell for the Warrior ring scam today; no one will buy a warrior ring for over 470k from what I could see. Traded my whip for it, and now I'm trying to make that money back.

April 7, 2007

Just one more to go; however, I'm buying dwarven stouts to mine a few rune ores early; want to get the feeling for mining rune.

April 8, 2007

Found out I could make over 500k/hour rune mining, which means I'm mining with renewed vigor. Mined nearly 3000 iron ores today, but took a break because my wrist hurts. CTS? Possibly, but I don't think so. 85 should only be a couple days away.

3.1 million xp at the end of the day; if I keep up this rate, I'll have 85 tomorrow or Tuesday, and should begin on 76 fishing Wednesday or so.

3700+ iron ore mined today.

April 9, 2007

85 MINING!

Next, I'll be moving on to fishing. Going to do Garden of Tranquility, One Small Favour, and Swan Song, then fish monkfish until 76 fishing. [/hide] [/hide]

A few other blogs:

Zaaps1's blog to 85 mining

Petrolhead22's blog to 99 mining

How i envy how far you've gotten. I'm going for 85 mining too, but I'm only level 76 (almost 77 tho).

Good luck! Nice method btw, I'm f2p unfourtantly.

I found a similar method in Illuminati's skiller guide, but he used dueling rings, which I thought was a waste, since you lose them once you use all the charges. Glory to Edgeville is about the same speed, and since you just have to recharge glories, it wastes a lot less resources.

Though I'm P2P, I got from about 1-65 and 72-80 mining on f2p, so I know a good amount about it. I'll be glad to help in any way that I can.

That's it for the night; tomorrow I'll be progressing and updating as I go, also taking a few pictures (stats and maybe a random screenshot or two; previous levels, possibly). Any suggestions?

Good luck 85 mining is some achievement.

Good luck 85 mining is some achievement.

I think it is, too. Part of the reason I'm trying to get it.

I just got home and I'm mining the rest of the pure ess I need; I'll make as many laws as I can later today, maybe finish tomorrow, then go hardcore mining.

Might add in agility training somewhere; I'll post when I figure that out.

I've given up for tonight; House is on in 20 minutes, and my computer is making me freaking insane; it's crashed on me twice in the last 15 minutes, and I don't have much motivation to continue playing tonight.

I finished mining the ess I needed, lost my pouches, got them back, and now I'm working on crafting the 2400 water and law runes I need.

And although I never said it in the first post, posts are appreciated. :D

Looks like your well on your way. If you have time, check out my blog too!

No interesting stories to report today; I did a bit of mining, after yesterday (forgetting to post ) I crafted 800 law runes and got sick of it. I'm probably done mining for the night. Haven't had much motivation to work, other than the fact that I want to get those charged glories used. Having 28 is so much fun.

Hope to get some motivation to work tomorrow; I also think I'll add a link in my signature to this blog. Weirdness is guaranteed.

EDIT: Added signature. Too weird? I hope it doesn't go over everyone's head.

Good luck!

Forgot yet again to post yesterday; postponing my mining for a bit, bought a few feathers (57k) and I'm turning them into headless arrows, then buying a bunch of rune arrowtips.

I'm also confused; someone seems to like changing the names of a couple skills, replacing them with pretty funny descriptions, but it's getting a little weird. The title of my blog is now weird, and this post will probably look weird.

Any explanations?

I've given up 4 tonight; House is on in 20 minutes,

I love that show.

You can do it man, good luck again.

Should've occurred to me, especially as my mom is an April Fool (my joke for the year is that I forgot to get her a present).

At least I'll only look like a fool for today.

"I pity the fool" - Mr. T

have fun mining .. get to the 85!!!

now post on my blog? 8-)

I'll post on your blog; maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Depends on if I get the chance tonight.

Oh yeah, a bit of progress for me:

Not too bad, eh?

If you want me to check out and post on your blog, feel free to post here. As long as your signature or post links there, I'll check it out and post.

I didn't get too much done today; homework at first, then there was a lot of lag on my computer; I've been trying to download too many files.

Also, I'm trying to decide what to go for after 85 mining. Any ideas? Suggestions?

2 More levels to go. Any ideas what I should do afterwards? Skilling plus making money at the same time is preferred. I'll listen to all suggestions.

I'm an idiot.

Yesterday, I decided to start buying Guthans parts, since I'm a huge fan of slayer and Guthans is very important for any slayer. I bought plate and legs yesterday from money made selling iron ore (I needed a break from nonstop mining), and today I decided I'd sell my whip, along with another couple items, and buy Guthans helm (the spear will be another story).

I went to sell my whip in world 2, and I see someone buying for 1.7 million. I trade him, put up whip, and he puts up warrior ring.

Something is telling me this isn't good, but I go ahead and trade it anyway. Couldn't find anyone to buy a warrior ring for over 470k, so I took the loss, and went on with selling various items. I finally made 2.1 million, bought Guthans helm, and decided to go back to mining.

Now all I have to do is make back 1.13 million. Shouldn't be overly difficult, should it?

I'm an idiot.

You traded your whip for a random item you didn't know the worth of??!! :notalk: :notalk:

GJ on 83 mining though, 83 > 61 :(.

I knew the value of it, I just was in such a hurry to sell I forgot. I guess that's what I get for rushing through things.

Also, there are about 5 people claiming to buy one for 1.7 million, so I was probably a bit confused about that too.

Anyway, once I get full Guthans, I'm going back to slayer to get money to get my whip back. And it's not like I'm without a good weapon; dragon scimitar is a pretty good weapon.

Buying some dwarven stouts so I can get the feel for rune mining.

I should have 85 next week, Wednesday or so. I've decided on my goal after that: 76 fishing, so stay tuned (if anyone's watching in the first place).

Nice work! Don't give up, you're so close!

Your so close! I envy you! Give me your account! Jk, or....am I?

Keep going so I don't gotta do that extra work when I take over your account :D

Nice work! Don't give up, you're so close!

I'm definitely not giving up; I used 16 dwarven stouts and in about 30 minutes, mined 23 runite ores. That comes out to over 500k an hour, which is awesome money. Also, it'd be nice to not have to use the stouts (it got a little bit annoying). So, I'm not giving up on 85.

And now, back to some iron mining. I'm going to mix in some runite mining so I don't get as bored.

Your so close! I envy you! Give me your account! Jk, or....am I?

 

 

 

Keep going so I don't gotta do that extra work when I take over your account :D

You envy me? Just keep working, and you'll be there soon enough yourself. If you need motivation, think about how much money you can make. Each runite ore is about 11.5k. That's good motivation.

I'm not giving you my account. :shame: :notalk: Do some work, slacker! :lol:

wow good job =))

go you!!! =))
