Missing in Action.

Had not been on Runescape much the past week due to another game that has managed to keep me interested for some time. Maplestory, an addictive game it is. I got form to start with me, but now hes on runescape less than me! Ugh. Evil runescape-player-sucking-vortex.

Anyway, i was still able to make a few level ups although the time spent on Runescape drastically decreased. For one, i managed to get my farming to 75. Yay! magic tree time! This is where i can start spamming my money on. Not that I'm going to, not yet at least. Hmm... thinking of growing magic trees in celebration, but i wonder how expensive the seeds are... WHATTT? At 200k each, the pricing is absolutely magical. Magically expensive! Maybe I'll just grow *a* magic tree in celebration then.

Although i was not that active the past few days, i was keeping track on the new updates and such. One thing that got me interested was the new level up messages, that was promised to not be disrupted by combat. the first day it came out, my jaw almost dropped. There was no indication of the level you have just gotten! think of the poor people who got 99 on that day! All they would see is a " Congratulations! You have just advanced a (insert 99 skill here) level! ". ugh, i shudder at the thought of the agony and irritation that the poor player, if any would feel at that point. luckily, Jagex did react fast to this little problem, soon, the level up messages were fixed and it certainly does look l33ter than the previous one.

Another update was the quick chat thingy. At first glance, i thought the idea was stupid, as some of the messages found there can easily be typed, faster than the time needed to actually click your way to that particular message. After a short trip to the clan wars, my feel towards this quick chat system changed. Some of the messages there were actually very fun to use as taunts, and i loved repeating them using the f11 key, going " Another one bites the dust!" over and over again :D

Seeing that the first half of this post was written quite some time ago, the 'recent updates' mentioned above are now quite outdated =/

More time had passed, and it seems that my passion for runescape has once returned, under the influence of Kat, i completed 2 quests that i have put off for sometime, temple of ikov and desert treasure.

Desert treasure is now one of my favourite quests, and i found the storyline very interesting. I don't remember liking any quests for a long time now, and dt will probably get me started on questing again. Battling the 4 demons was very fun, i must say, and in the end, it wasn't as dangerous as i sounded, only wished i had done it earlier. And the boots of lightness gotten from the temple of ikov quest has proven itself very handy when i am doing my farming rounds to reduce the weight i am carrying, allowing me to run for a longer period of time.

Another thing, just got my farming to lv 77 with help from my new addition to my farming rounds, willow trees. Hopefully, these 5k increase in the daily exp gain would be helpful to reach my goal of lv 80 farming faster.

There had been a lv 99 rush within the clan recently. So, grats mat on 99 firemaking, dg on 99 cooking and timmy on 99 def!

Combat training had resumed, so Kat, get ready for some close competition. :D

Behold...The 3-digit combat level!

Finally, Tiz has reached 100 combat! thanks to summoning, i am now a lv 100 in p2p worlds. It might take a few more weeks to get the same level from f2p, being just 4 levels short, I'm now back in the race with Kat to reach 100 f2p combat first. Although is just a race, I'm sure it has somehow pushed the both of us to work somewhat harder, for my case, start training combat again. I am also trying to work on my strength, using my new toy, the saradomin sword. This new toy is proving to be quite useful, and getting me some attention as well. Very useful for training strength this sword is, and I'm laughing at the 100 from castle wars who said i wasted my money on this weapon. HAHA! Man, this i one of the best gifts I've ever given myself, and to me, its money well spent.

Another thing I've managed to accomplish, farming! Managed to push my farming up to 73 yesterday, and gotten a total experience of 1 million :-) that's just.... 12 million left! i can make it! *dies from fatigue* But it is certainly nice to see my farming xp slowly going up and slowly getting my levels. Hopefully by taking it slow, i wont find it as tiring as going at full speed, and wont be as expensive. Besides, farming ranarrs had been very profitting lately, and its nice to see the dough rolling in. Having risen to be within the top 25k farmers, my next goal would be the top 10k farmers, which i will be able to get in about 1.4mil more xp :-/ time to sweat and do some farming then!

Had been doing some other stuff, and for this period of time, even started a hunting frenzy. got myself to 58, and got bored lol. and there are other lv ups here and there not much worthy of being talked about. i'll post the screenies below.
