99 Magic and F2P

Hey guys, guess what! I finally made it to 99 magic! Going from 94-99 only took me about 10 days. This was in part due to the bonus EXP weekend where I was able to go from 94 to 96 in only one day! Other than that, I am F2P right now. I will probably remain F2P for several months. During this time frame, I plan on doing a fair bit of merchanting as well as working on some F2P skills. I'll probably be working on firemaking, mining, and maybe a little bit of fishing.

98 Magic!

Reached level 98 Magic on Saturday! As of right now, I'm only 250k EXP off 99 Magic! This will be my 5th 99 on this account.

In about 4 days, my account will be going F2P. I'm not sure how long I'll be F2P but it will be at least a month. During my F2P days, I plan to work on firemaking and do some side merchanting. I've pretty much liquidated and sold all my valuable P2P items just incase I never get membership back.

After I get 99 magic, I'll try and spend the last of my P2P time pking. My goal is to get enough clips to put together PVP Video #4. If I get enough clips, expect to see this video in about 2 weeks or so.

That's it for now. Hope everyone has a great week!

1 down, 2 to go!

Almost to 99 magic! I'm about 400k off 98 magic right now! I also got 73 craft as a side effect of the string jewelry spell!

Levels from Bonus EXP Weekend

I rather enjoyed Bonus EXP weekend. As I type, there is still about 16 hours left but I'm down to the 1.1x multiplier. The first thing I did when I logged in was make about 500 super restore potions using the avantoes I farmed. This got me from 68 to 70 herblore in about 20-25 minutes. I then headed to the circus in Lumbridge and got around 100k EXP in about 3 minutes with the 2.5x multiplier. The high wire circus event also brought me to 71 agility. Next, I headed to the Falador bank and began the long process of stringing jewelry. I was getting great EXP per cast with the 2.3x and 2.1x multipliers. This eventually died down to the 1.1x multiplier. I was able to get from 94 to 96 magic on Friday (the first day of the bonus EXP) which was crazy. All the crafting EXP added up and was able to get to 72 crafting. I should have a video out by tonight or tomorrow showcasing all the levels I got through the bonus EXP weekend. Can't wait for the next EXP weekend!

Plans for Bonus Weekend

Hey guys, just recently Jagex has announced that they will be holding their first ever Bonus EXP Weekend. I, like many others, plan to take advantage of this update. I thought I would share some of my plans with some of my readers so you can get an ideal of what I'll be doing.

First off, I want to mention that the double EXP really only lasts for the first 3 hours you log in during the weekend. If you take a look at the graph, you can see that it starts at 2.9X EXP and slowly declines to 1.1X EXP over a period of about 10 hours. I recommend everyone plan their time accordingly or you will be wasting this great opportunity.

Obviously, there will be an emphasis on the skills that cost the most money. A few examples of these would be construction, magic, herblore, summoning among others. As Jagex mentioned, there will be an increase in aggregate demand in the 2 or so weeks leading up to this event. My recommendation to everyone is to start stockpiling supplies NOW if you have not already done so. In the days before the weekend, I believe most items in the GE will be nearly impossible to buy.

As far as personal plans go, I'll be training herblore and magic during this weekend. Right now, I'm farming avantoes and saving them in my bank. Using the avantoes, I'll make about 500 super energy potions as soon as I log in. This will bring me from 68-70 herblore. After that, I'll be stringing jewlrey using the astrals and gold amulets I have been buying. I hope to possibly get from 94 to 97 or so magic. Even though I won't have the 2X multiplier the whole weekend, the 1.1X bonus will still save me some money.

Onto further plans, magic will most likely be my next 99. I'm pretty sure I've got the bank to do it and I've always really enjoyed the cape. For those unfamiliar with my account, this will be my 5th 99. From there on, I'm still not completely positive on what 99 number 6 will be.

To conclude, I hope everyone takes advantage of this double EXP weekend. Who knows if Jagex will continue this or if this will be the only one. Buy supplies early and plan ahead to make the best out of this opportunity.

Best of luck to everyone!
