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!

To recap, the party is:

Falador Teleport Spot
A drop party will follow

You can also view a quick promo video I made for the party here!

Hope to see everyone there!

Quick Update

As I type, I'm about 837k off 99 woodcutting. Looks like I'm on target to get 99 woodcutting by Wednesday.

I've still been going through video ideas. The most common suggestion is a PvP video but honestly I haven't set foot in PvP for months. I really like making guide videos so I might choose a random skill and talk about the fastest ways to level it as well as the most profitable way to level it.

I hope to have a new video out sometime this week so check my youtube page for that. I do have a somewhat busy week but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make one.

I hope everyone has a great week!

98 Woodcutting

Wow! I cannot believe I was able to get from 97 to 98 woodcutting in only one day.

For those who don't know, that's about a 1.1M gap. The reason I've been able to achieve this is due to the fact that I've haven't been feeling 100% over the past few days but I'm hopeful that will change soon.

I should be able to get to 99 woodcutting by tuesday or wednesday at the latest. I'm excited I'll finally be able to train something other than woodcutting!

I've been thinking about going ahead and getting range void again but I remember from the first time how boring that was. I'm fairly certain my next 99 will be some type of combat skill (probably strength) so look forward to that.

97 Woodcutting

Hey guys! Just a few moments ago, I achieved 97 woodcutting! Since I want to get 99 by the end of October, I still have about 15 days left.

I have 2.3M EXP until 99. Divide 2.3M by 15 which equals about 153,333. This means I only need to get roughly 153k EXP per day to get to 99. This is very feasible and I'll even probably get 99 before the end of the month!

I'm still deciding if I should host a small party for 99 woodcutting. If you think so, leave a comment or message me on my youtube account.

Other than that, I plan on updating this blog daily so make sure to check back regularly. I'll be talking about future video plans, new runescape news, my opinions on runescape content, and much more!

New Bank Video on Youtube

I also uploaded a new video today on to my youtube account (realistichat). I'm discussing the contents of my bank as well as the new quest and small bank update.

Feel free to leave comments, message me, rate, and subscribe!

95/96 Woodcutting


October 13, 2009 - Today, i'm bringing you guys two more woodcutting levels: 95 and 96! From this point, it looks like I need about 3.3m EXP to get to 99. Whether I make it to 99 by the end of October will be a stretch, but I'm sure not going to give up.

Since the introduction of Ivy (September 23), I've only gained about 5m wc EXP. That was about 3 weeks ago. If i followed the same timeline, 3.3m wc EXP would take me roughly 13.86 (14) days. Add this amount of days to the current day (the 13th) it would put me getting 99 on October 27th. This really only gives me a buffer of about 4 days if for some reason I miss a day of playing.

I think this goal is still in my grasp so I'll just have to see how it plays out. Regardless, I'll still be getting 99 woodcutting even if it is not in October. Also, just made a new sig. Let me know if you like it or not. That's all for this update!
