Fletching Frenzy

I've gone into another fletching frenzy after i decided to get 99 fletching this year. Started slow, only managed 5 levels yesterday, hoping to get a few more today, hopfully i will be able to hit 70 fletch today. Planning to fletch maple longs till lv 70, i noticed that my supply of maple from my folks at miscellenia are running short, which is very saddening, since that means my progress will be much hindered.

Herblore has also been doing well for me, and im making quite a lot of money from the prayer pots. Never knew that herblore could be that lucrative, now that i know, its a good thing after all.

Farming had been going on as well, without the tree seeds propelling me up the levels at high speed, im relying on my trusty ranarrs and veggies to get me my xp. Still, the climb up the ladder of l33t farmers is still going well for me.

F2p clan wars are also very fun, and im spending almost 1 hr everyday there. Although not very productive to my training, i still enjoyed fighting with other clans :-)

Well, thats about it, and blogger is acting weird, i cant use spell check lol :-/

The Road to Runescape Riches

Hey guys, haven't blogged for a long time, so its time to showcase my recent achievements again. Since i had made the last post, i have managed to achieve yet another farming related goal, which is to be in among the top 75k ranked farmers. Something that gave me a great deal of help was my little folks back at my kingdom, working hard to provide me with tree seeds everyday without complain. I'm so proud of my loyal subjects and citizens, u bet i am :) The numerous herbs that they managed to collected was also proving useful to my herblore, which is just a level away from making prayer pots now, and it will be easy since i have my own supply of ranarr herbs, thank Jagex for releasing farming.

Speaking of prayer pots and ranarrs, the 1.28mil worth of seeds had already started to make me profit. it only took me like 30-40 seeds to earn back my money output, which leaves me with 60 odd seeds to make pure profit from. If everything goes well, i should be able to make 1.9 mil from this investment. Not a bad first try, I'd say.

With good news comes bad news, as i have discovered. Although i started making profits, i realised that recent harvests had been starting to decline, be it luck or something else, it will definitely not be good for me if this carries on. Just the last farming round i had ended up with 2 out of the 4 ranarr plants dying. Very disappointing, not to mention that the survivors were not exactly producing good harvests, i am starting to doubt the usefulness of the magic secretus. I'm praying to Demeter ( also known as Ceres, the goddess of Grain and Agriculture in Greek and Roman Mythology ) that this would not last. Help the poor apprentice farmer, oh wise Demeter! Despite all the setbacks, i am starting to have a strong interest in farming, hopefully i can follow in Tim's footsteps in becoming a master farmer someday.

Furthermore, i had been playing around in the f2p clan wars, i had a great deal of fun fire blasting the full rune wearers, and since rangers are considerably weakened in the f2p server, i had my way most of the time, I'd most likely continue as long as i have death runes to waste. If you guys ever feel bored an want to battle alongside with me, by all means pm me when I'm online, I'll be more than happy to oblige.

After so much talking, you must be thinking, what the heck, where are all these achievements this little bugger had been talking about? i see none so far!. Without further ado, here we go!

Royal Splurging

WOOT! Finally completed the Royal Trouble quest today. After much anticipation, i was utterly disappointed to realise that i will not be making much of a profit when i manage my kingdom since there is a drop in the price of maple logs. i would in fact be making a loss of about 30k everyday, which will definitely give me more stress financially. Despite the many losses i might make, i would be getting birds nest, which will help me out in farming. The maples might come in handy for fire making too. Guess its not such a big loss after all.

Speaking of farming, i just brought 100 ranarr seeds at 1.28mil gp. Not a bad buy considering the price of the seeds were 19k each 2 weeks ago. I just hope the price of the herbs and seeds won't drop too much. So yeah, Tizzy is poor now. This better be lucrative or else im gonna make a big big loss :(

Questing had been ok, and i already have the next quest i want to attempt in mind. Swan song. Hahaha! Monkfishes, daddy is coming! But first, i'll need 66 magic. Bummer. :(

My own widdle kingdom.

Pay your respects to King Tiz, humble peasant.

I finally got to do the quest i had been preparing for, Throne of Miscellania.

The most tiring part of the whole quest was trying to to get 100% support from the citizens. Wait, before you go telling me "you only need 75% to be a regent, dunnmy", hear me out. I am getting 100% support as i am gonna need the services of the citzens after i complete the other miscellania qurst, Royal Trouble. So having a higher support rate reduces the amount of money i have to pay for their services.

anyway, cant wait to finish up the Royal Trouble quest and make the citizen cough up.. i meant gather some supplies for me. im so gonna be a great king. just you see.

in case you haven't realised, our forums have moved due to the following reasons quoted from the eamped site :

Late last week the ISP had some electric/power issues due to weather. This caused the computers where the database for the forums as well as our backups to go down.

And this is what they suggested us to do :

The summary is that its looking slim that data will be 100% restored. We might get bits and pieces, but who knows what those pieces are. So the alternatives are this:

1.Go somewhere else. I'm assuming some of you have already, and I don't blame you.
2.Wait to see what happens with the hard drives (no ETA on this).
3.Work with the Lefora folks to re-establish your forum. They have told me they are coming out with a more traditional forum style next week and all new data created would move into the classic look.


So yeah, we took alternative 1. and for the new forum address click here.

Summoning!

after hearing many complains about my blog having too many pictures thus lagging others, i have decided to cut down on my screenshots stuff.

anyway started on the summoning quest today. very easy, and took me less then 10 mins to complete it. so yeah i might do a little bit of summoning after that. but for now, its back to combat for me.

Its good to be back.

It has been some time since i made a full length post since i spoiled my previous keyboard, and the standby keyboard i had wasn't good. ever heard of flexi-keyboards? yeah i was using one of those, it looked cool, but it is really difficult to type with it.

Anyway, even though my keyboard was not working well i have been working hard in runescape, as you can see from the various lv up screenies in my last post. its so nice to be able to write a blog post while playing runescape lol.

Farming had been a major skill i want to excel in, the first step being getting into the top 100k farmers, and im pretty sure that goal would be achieved today (edit: achieved). the next goal im setting for myself is to be ranked among the top 75k farmers, or getting 65 farming, whichever comes first. But that might take sometime unless i start growing trees, so this looks like a good time to start collecting those tree seeds. Hopefully, i'll be able to reach 70 farming by the end of this year, although i'll be taking time off the game during the term 3 exams, the prelims and most definitely the o level period.

Besides farming, i have been training my slayer, hoping to achieve 55 slayer soon, for that slayer dart i have always wanted before i try the barrows minigame. Some pieces of barrows armor would do me very well, since i look mighty noobish using rune armor at my level. i am eyeing dharoks armor right now, i could do with some high hits, although some parts of guthans armor will be a nice surprise. I'd better not count my chickens before they hatch now, it would be wiser to get back to slayer training instead of blabbering about all this. rofl.

Slayer had been a great help to my ranging too, especially when i get easy assignments like fire giants. who knows, if i continue getting assignments like fire giants, i might be able to achieve 70 ranging while nobody is expecting it. lol. im a dark horse. *neighhhh*

anyway after so much talking, (or neighing, whichever you prefer) its time for some screenies. yay!
