New Levels



90 Magic was done through alching, 66 herb was from the Legends quest reward, and 68 agility came from the circus.

New Quests




Questing again! Got up to 211 QP and finished off the Goblin arc story.

PKs




Haven't been doing much over the past few days besides alching and PKing.

94 Magic would really help me more successful at PKing and I'm really trying to push for it.

I also started doing daily farm runs to help earn some extra cash on the side.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

97 Strength/Small PK/Christmas Event



Hey guys! A few days ago I was able to level up to 97 strength! This means I am only 2 levels off my maxing! Even though, I've made a big deal about getting 99 before New Years, I don't think it is possible. I need roughly 2.3M EXP and I don't want to force myself to sit in a SW lobby. I'm also doing a fair bit of traveling for the holidays and this would cut into my time even more.

Every now and then I try to get some EP and kill a target for some extra money. The 375K PK was a target kill and a nice little bonus income.

Yesterday, I did the christmas Event and loved it. I also made a guide for it on my youtube channel.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. 2010 should be full of great things for Runescape (a new skill??) and my account. Stay safe out there! :)

Blood Runs Deep

I believe I'm the first Zerker to complete the new quest. Used all the EXP on strength :P

96 Strength/68 Slayer/2m PK



16 more days to get 99 strength. I have a feeling it is going to come down to the wire!

On another note, the 2M PK is now the best loot I've ever gotten. It was done with 31 EP on a target who had nothing with him.

Two PK's/Future Break Plans


Today, was a pretty much chill day in the wild. I think I got a total of about 5 kills but these two had the best loot.

Sadly, the 1.5M PK is the best I have ever gotten. It's also the first time I've ever gotten a piece of PVP armor for the drop.

If all goes according to plan, I might be doing an interesting series of videos over Winter Break so stay tuned for more updates.

Thanks for reading!

66 Slayer/66 Agility/Bank Pic



Hey guys! Just posting a quick update of what's happened over the past few days.

I went back to slaying after my long PK break and was able to achieve 66 slayer. Right now, I'm at 230/400 slay points for the slayer helmet. Even though slayer can be a slow paced skill, I really enjoy doing it. The loot is decent and I get EXP for a few different skills.

I did this week's penguins and had 17 penguin points to spend. Decided to spend them all on agility which brought me up to 66. 70 agility has been a long term goal of mine and it is a pretty useful skill.

Lastly, I posted a picture of my current net worth. It rounds out to about 40m which is not great but very livable. I think I made a good 2M profit off of my little PKing adventures.

As of now, I'm back to alching and am around 250k off 88 magic. I still plan on getting 99 strength by the end of December so look forward to that. I'll see y'all later!

87 Magic/63 Runecraft/Treasure Trail/PK's





Hey guys! Posting a quick update on what i've done the past few days.

Leveling to 63 runecrafting was pretty random considering I happened to randomly find some penguins and cashed in the points. I had been 3-5k off this level for a good amount of time so I was glad to get the level.

87 Magic is a start on my long road towards 94 magic. Since I've been PKing a good amount lately I've realized how much of a disadvantage I have since I can't cast vengeance. From 86-87, I high alched yew longs with nature runes I collected from slayer.

The Treasure Trail reward was from a clue I received during a hellhound task. It was a decent clue reward. Still hoping to get 3rd age one day!

The PK's were a few I got while messing around. I've yet to kill a target so wish me luck. I'm slowly getting better. As of now, I've got about 4 kills on camera but I'm gonna need a few more before I can make a decent PK video.

That's it for now. I'll see y'all next update!

New Combat Levels [96 Combat]





Hey guys! I've got a ton of levels that just came in. These are levels where I've been close to for awhile! With my new plan of training strength through slayer, I did smoking kills so I can save up points for a slayer helm. Owning one has been a long term goal of mine. Mainly because they do look pretty sweet.

Right now, i'm using a dragon scimitar to train strength. Most of 94 strength was actually trained at hobgoblins when I was trying to get a challenge scroll. I never did get that challenge scroll but I did get 95 strength. Though originally, I was trying to get 99 strength by the end of November, I'm now aiming for the end of December date. Slayer is a much slower but more rewarding path in my eyes. It will be a long road but well worth it.

I also decided to do two slayer tasks with a whip since I was 50k off 79 attack. Once I leveled, I rolled into 96 combat. I'll now go back to training strength again.

Right now, I'm at 91/400 slayer points for a slayer helm. I hope to get one by the end of the week. Wish me luck! Hopefully, I'll get another update in when I get the helm. Until next time, guys.

94 Strength/95 Combat



I finally made it to 94 strength! From 93, it took me almost 10 days! I was getting so bored at Soul Wars and now I can hardly stand it. I've been taking many PK breaks to help get me motivated.

Right now, 99 by the end of November looks near impossible! I'm going to go ahead and make this 99 goal span over 2 months. Now, I'll have until the end of December to reach 99. Not only will this put less pressure on me but I can explore some alternate training methods which might be a little more tolerable than Soul Wars.

On a side note, it's also my birthday today! Just turned 19!

Thanks for reading guys!

F2P PvP Kills



Hey guys, earlier I did mention I would have some exclusive content that went on here and not on my other two threads (on RS Community and Sal's Realm).

Here is my first bit of exclusive content. I did get a little bored at Soul Wars so I spent most of yesterday PKing in F2P. At first, I was a little rusty but I slowly warmed up. It's been at least a year since I've even attempted to PK.

My very first fight I got completely clocked but this only gave me more motivation to do well. As I continued to fight, i was getting some nice kills with some decent loot.

Above are three of those pks. Unfortunately, I did die on my target fight and had full rune in my inventory. Oh well, it was a great fight and I had still had a lot of fun. Some of these F2P PKers are really good!

As far as videos go, I'm not sure what I'll do next. I'm still trying to play around with different codecs to get my movie to save with the best quality and size. Lately, my videos have looked some what zoomed in during the final product. It's like it's not rendering the whole screen.

Hopefully, sometime this week I'll get a chance to make a video either about a new RS update or some guide which I think would be beneficial to y'all.

If you do read this, I really appreciate it. Also, check out my other threads: http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=251736 and http://forums.zybez.net/index.php?showtopic=1221908. Both of these also have exclusive content. The salmoneus one features really old archives of my account (early this year) and the zybez one has some of my favorite methods to train certain skills (in the second post).

Thanks again!

70 Mining/70 Smithing


Hey guys, mini-goal complete! I made it to 70 smithing and 70 mining before November.

Now, I'm going ahead and working on my 99 strength goal for November. Wish me luck!

69 Mining/62 63 Smithing/Web of Shadows

Hey guys, hope all is going well. Just dropping by some quick updates for y'all.

First, I've been sticking to my game plan by only mining gold and smithing it into bars. With 69 mining, I'm only one level off my goal. I'll continue to make gold bars until 70 smithing (cheap and good EXP).

I also did Web of Shadows today and got the 2 items (cape and spider). I was also happy to see Jagex is now trying to prevent 76k'ers. This should also help stabilize the RS economy a little further.

I might be making a video of the new Halloween event soon so look out for that. I also wanted to thank anyone who reads this and/or watches my videos. I really do appreciate it!

Expect great things come November (aka 99 strength) :)

68 Mining/61 Smithing



Hey guys, for the next few days I'll be working on getting 70 smithing and 70 mining before November hits. Once November starts, I'm going for cape #4 strength!

Also, there is a new video up today on my youtube account. Check it out!
