What's New?

I haven't posted in a while, mainly due to the fact that I still haven't been able to get a computer. I'm waiting for my dad to finish transferring his files. So I haven't been playing as much as I usually would. Once I get the computer I can go back to normal life at least.

The Halloween event was released, I would post a picture of the event but I can't do that right now. It involved me putting up webs in the Grim Reapers house. I received quite an ugly cape and an amusing spider name Eek.

So since it's a new month I guess I should post another image of my skills.

In a month I have gained 4 Smithing levels, 3 Herblore levels, 2 Fishing levels, 5 Thieving levels, 1 Magic level, 5 Runecrafting levels, 1 Slayer level, 8 Farming levels and 6 Construction levels. I have also gained 9 quest points and a considerable amount of slayer reward points. Not a very progressive month I have to say.

My membership ran out today and I'm in a dilemma as to how I should renew it. As Runescape membership cards have been released in Sainsbury stores throughout the U.K I thought that I should buy 90 day cards as they are much cheaper than SMS. However, when I went to sainsburys they said they don't sell them until the 18th of November. That annoyed me quite a bit. I think I'm just going to pay £6 for this month and then try and get the card next month.

While on the topic of stores being a giant let down, I bought Gears of War 1 and 2 today. I played the first game for a few hours and then tried to play the sequel so I could slaughter my friend. But when I put the disk in it totally mucks up and tells me to open the disk tray again. This is probably because I bought it preowned and there are lots of scratches. I'll have to go tomorrow and tell Game whats what. If they are open on Sundays...

Computer Breakdown

I haven't been able to update my blog for a while and it's because my computer has broken down. To some extent I knew that it would break down as it has been in my family for 6-7 years. I can even say the exact date as to when it broke down as I was performing a show on the same day. I wasn't in the house at all when it broke so it could only have happened naturally or been because of my brother doing something. Fortunately, my sister has let me use her laptop while she's at work so I can still play Runescape. I'm going to be buying a new computer with the money that I hopefully get from the job and my dad is going to give me his old computer as soon as he is finished making a new one for himself. I'll just have to ask him for something temporary to use in the half-term. In the meantime I can't post any screenshots as I can't install Swiftkit.

Accomplishments in the past few days:
52 Herblore, 55 Smithing, 56 Farming, Completed Royal Trouble quest and Throne of Miscellania.

The Fishing Guild

I got 68 fishing today. It took quite a while considering it isn't even 70. I can now enter all guilds. I'm not that chuffed though. It just doesn't feel like much an achievement. I have no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow, maybe trying to get 60 smithing or start training hunter again. I'm swaying towards smithing. Just because I've been watching a lot of Dragon Balls lately. It sure is great to stop myself getting bored as easily. I might even complete some quests.




Due to the recent herblore update, prices were dropping quite a bit. Unfortunately for me, Jagex have restricted the new potions so they cannot be used in certain areas/worlds. They can't be used in all pvp or bounty worlds, castle wars, clan wars, duel arena, soul wars and the tzhaar fight pit. This has caused most items to rise in price again, notably the bandos weapons and armour and dragonfire shield. Not good for me...

Accomplishments today:
68 Fishing.

50

What a day. I managed to raise all of my skill to 50 or above today. Runecrafting and farming were easy, as I only had to harvest my fruit trees, ranarrs and allotments. I only had to craft 400-500 astrals so that wasn't a problem either. Construction stole all the money I had earned by making natures. I managed to check out the runecrafting guild and play a game of 'The Great Orb Project' . I can't say I liked it though. I probably won't be playing it anytime in the future, nothing can compare to Barbarian Assualt :). Just two more fishing levels and I'll officially be able to enter all guilds! That's probably what I'll be trying to get tomorrow, if the pile of homework that's been amassing doesn't crush me under it.







I need to get some sleep if I want to go to my clans event tomorrow - Clan Wars. I have to be there at 12:30. Nightmare!

Accomplishments today:
50 Runecrafting, 51 Farming and 50 Construction.

Runecrafting

A friend asked me along to craft some Astral runes with him. It was quite fun and I got to try out the runecrafting pouches I had gotten a while back. We stopped after a while because I had to eat dinner and he never came online after that but it was enough to get me excited about the skill. It even gave me the chance to try Graahk runecrafting, which I have been amazed at ever since I got 57 summoning. I decided to get 50 runecrafting to be able to use large runecrafting pouches and enter the runecrafting guild. I only managed to get 49 runecrafting today and only crafted 1.4k of natures in the measly 49 minutes that it had. If it's this slow even with the large pouch I don't think I'm going to be that happy about it anymore. Back to astrals for now I guess.

Jagex have released even more updates. You now have the option to take a picture of your character so that it can be displayed on the runescape forums. It's apparently taken by an imp in a box who casts a spell... Quite crude to be honest. Oh well. It'll save me from having to read the posters name every time. Yes, I am that lazy :). There also some new potions only available to experienced herblorists. If that makes sense =D.

Names

I purchased members today. I didn't get to do much, just the circus and tears of guthix. I managed to get two more pieces of the clown costume, but not any ringmaster.

The display name update came out too. I really want to change my display name, I just haven't decided yet. The original name I wanted is already taken. I think I might have the account but I've tried all the passwords that it might be and I've tried to recover the account too. I'm trying to find out if the name will become available if the user is inactive. I guess I'll just have to rack my brains until I think up a decent name...

A New Month

It's the last day of September and the start of October. Not a very progressive month, for me anyway. The job I've been doing is almost finished. Just a few more days until I will be free and hopefully a lot richer! I say hopefully because this job is making me feel like it's cursed. I've had to redo parts of it so many times that it's not funny. I've had an idea that I should upload a picture of my stats, quest points and combat level every month, so that I can see how much I have progressed in that month and compare it with the next. Here's Septembers:


I had to edit my combat level to show it with summoning.

Here's the closest I can get to August. My quest points were 180.
