Goals reached :D

After much training and anticipation, i managed to reach 70 farming. Although it has been 1 week since the actual level up, i still feel thrilled thinking about it now. 70 farming had seemed so far away when i just started, back in November last year, it was just a distant number, not even in my goals, but as time passed, i realised that i was slowly getting my farming experiences at a faster rate using better seeds and more plots. After 70 farming, my next goal is to get ranked in the top 25k on the farming high scores. Steadily getting rising about 1k in rank each day, and within the top 29k now, i should be able to get there in a week or so. Suddenly the thought that i would eventually hit 99 if i carry on farming hit me, and i shall be looking forward to that day, no matter how far away it seems to be now.

Another goal i have reached is 80 strength, a skill that i have rather neglected recently due to other irl matters. Training on the ogres proved to be a good source of experience and gold charms. It took me 2 painful days to get from where i stopped (somewhere in mid-79) to 80. But it was very nice to see that my first 80 skill is also the first 1 i got to 70, hopefully the first i get to 90 lol. Another training method i have tried is pest control, and i found the results rather satisfying, unlike what some others had said about the mini-game. Due to the fact that its a safe mini-game,i feel much at ease to bring my dharoks set along with me, which eventually turned into something i pretty much use for most of the battles to save the void knight. Good thing that the splatters are there, and i can easily get my health low enough to hit high 30s. Another great thing is that because i can pretty use my prayer for the entire game, i can switch on incredible reflexes and hit the 30s, a lot more often, accelerating the rate which i gain str xp. When it all sums up, it isn't that bad compared to the ogres. At least i have more fun with pc.

Something else i tried is summoning, something i had put off my priority list for a long long time after i heard the negative comments about the skill since its release. It was actually a very easy skill to pick up, and fast training too. Well at least for the first 30 levels it was. i managed to push it to lv 30, and it shall stay there till i find time to mine more iron ores :-)

ooh! and there was this really nice update this month, the grand exchange database! definitely a good news for me, since i like to keep track of ranarr prices, the database has provided me with easier excess to the current prices of not just ranarr, but many items without the hassle of going to the GE ourselves. Great job on that, Jagex!
