The wonder of curry plants

Hey guys, much had been going on lately, with many updates such as the stronghold of player safety, and my usual training, i've been kept rather busy, explaining my recent lack of posts. Fret not, i'll try to make this one as good as possible.

A few goals had been reached within this week, the first being reaching 1400 total lv. I've always wanted to be a all-rounded player, and im still working towards that goal now :-) After reaching the 1400 total lv, i am setting my goal at 1500, hopefully to be achieved by June this year. Since i have gotten most of my skills to decent levels, i am starting to find it difficult to level them recently. To get those 100 levels, i'll probably do start working on construction and hunting. Hopefully, those 2 skills will be sufficient to get me there since i dread the thought of training summoning. I don't want to get those "extra" combat levels, since the likelihood of me using summoning in combat is very low and i don't really like the whole 'pouch-making' deal either.

Another goal i've reached is to squeeze into the top 50k farmers in the high scores list. 62 farming was the final push for me to enter the top 50k farmers, and getting to that level was made a lot faster after i got a tip from Tim about growing curry trees. Fast exp they are, and since i replant them everyday, i am able to get up to 18k exp a day, which is a lot compared to the mare 4-5k xp i used to get while growing ranarrs and marigolds. However, i am only utilizing 3 plots out of the 5 available plots since only those 3 fit into my farming rounds well. I shall try to work out another route that will brig me to all the 5 plots soon enough, though the bananas i have stocked up, used as payment for the farmers are slowly depleting. I have also had my share of bad luck lately, ranarr yields are going down, and for the first time since i have started growing ranarrs, i have had 3 plants out of the 4 i've grown die consecutively.

I finally got to try the wilderness agility course today. Two reasons why i didn't fancy the idea of risking a close encounter with the revenents before today. Reason 1 - I was simply too afraid of going there and being near those revs, just thinking about those lv 70s blast you with their icy spells that hit you as though they are lv 140 does enough to send chills down my spine. i finally found the courage to challenge those pesky revs today, apparently my courage was hidden under my pillow, haven't use it for some time now, and it was getting dusty. Reason 2 - My level fell short by 1 and i didn't like the idea of potting just to get in, i'll probably fail my way through anyway. But guess what, with 53 agility and a short while of training, i managed to gain an agility level! Hurray!

One more thing i have decided to do is to get my fletching yet another step closer to the 99 goal. I've brought a dragon woodcutting axe for approximately 2.2 million today, and hoping that it will give me some boost to my woodcutting speed on yew trees. So far, i have not yet seen a significant increase in the time i get my logs, so i am considering training my woodcutting a tiny bit higher before i go back to cutting yews. Another option i can take is to buy the yew logs off the G.E and fletch them immediately, but the only problem with this is that i'll end up making a loss since the prices of raw materials mostly add up to be more than the high alching price ofthe end-product. I'll be comtenplating on this issue and hopefully i'll come out with a good soultion. In the meanwhile, i'll be happy to consider any other suggestions that you might have.

I guess thats all for now. Till next time, see ya.
