Well I have finally decided that the next skill to 99 will most likely be Magic. I'm planning on superheating gold ores for fast Smithing and Magic exp. It comes at a hefty cost but I can knock 2 skills out in one go which is a huge plus! I recieved level 96 Magic after a few hours of bankstand.



I also managed two more Smithing levels (91,92) level 92 Smithing being the most recent.



I've continued my goal of top 200 Farmers past level 99 which I got not to long ago. I have been keeping up with Farming runs and herbs when I have the 5min to dedicate to it and not be so lazy. I got 14m Farming with ease and wasn't even expecting it!



Well since finishing up Fishing I have been working away at Woodcutting. Woodcutting should be a lot quicker than Fishing and may I mention the firemaking also adds up. I finished up 3 levels since starting, 84 Woodcutting is the most recent.



After saving up over 1500 battlestaves I decided that I mind as well start attaching those orbs. It took quite awhile but in the end I was rewarded with 86 Crafting.

Well, I finally achieved my goal of 90 Fishing.



All in all Fishing isn't to bad of a skill, some may disagree but you have to look at the facts. 2.0m to 5.3m Fishing exp took me 17days only 15 if you count out those days I was training Herblore during the Bonus Exp. Weekend. On average I gain about 56-59k Fishing exp per hour also not including the 5.5k Agility and Strength which paid off in the form of two levels each. Barbarian Fishing with mousekeys doesn't gain any profit but is well worth it if you have alternative ways of making quick cash.

So ends one goal and another begins this time it will be Woodcutting. Many people flock to Ivy but I want to use the full effect of my Inferno Adze and head to the grove. Cutting Ivy at level 80 woodcutting provides about the level x 1000 so, 80k xp/hr. At the grove I can manage 80k per hour and also gain enough Firemaking exp from 80-99 Woodcutting to get from 92-97 Firemaking!

Lets say you chopped the ivy from 80-99 Woodcutting gaining an average of 87k per hour. 127 hours will be used on woodcutting alone if you wanted to then get 97 Firemaking with maple logs it would take another 43 hours! In that same time will a little more consontration you can save those 43 hours and for example make double nature runesduring that time. About 1m per hour can be gained runecrafting nature runes at 91+ this is 43m gp over that time!

Suprise! no mindless firemaking required:

Since I have been Barbarian fishing these past few days I never noticed how much the Agility and Strength exp count up after fishing for so long. I was close to an Agility level and ran over to the Advanced Gnome Course for the 3k exp I needed. I got 90 Agility in no time and its another one in the 90's with little work. w00t



I have been of course Fishing and got another couple of levels since my last post. 89 Fishing is so close to 90 I can feel it. I hopefully can get the 500k exp this weekend and another level 90 skill is about to be finished.



Also, the Raven chick that I posted about a few blogs back has grown up into a fully grown raven. It honestly looks a lot like the Zammorak Bird just in the color black.



Stop pk'ing:



Where are your clothes?

I have been working on Fishing up some fish these past few days in lure of some mega exp. I have gained 5 levels so far putting my current level at 85 Fishing which I got yesterday.



I think fishing cavefish at 85 Fishing would be like fishing sharks at 76 fishing, fail. I didn't even bother as some friends told me that even at 88/89 Fishing they were only able to get 20-25k exp per hour with profits under 200k per hour. It wasn't worth the time as I could easily make 1m+ per hour running nature runes and fish barbarian style for 55k+ exp per hour.

Double exp weekend also started this morning for me at 5am, I didn't have the chance to get on that early as I have commitments to other more important things... an education. I was able to get on later today and lucky Americans get Monday off for Labor Day. My plan was to do the following in the following order, Herblore-Smithing/Magic-Fishing if time.

I got the 2.2m Herblore exp that I wanted and it got me from 81-88 Herblore in about 2.5 hours. I'm now able to make extreme attacks and greenman up to 89 for the extreme strengths. Slayer will begin once I get 88 Dungeoneering..



After that I began superheating the 100k+ gold that litters my bank. I got through about 2000 of it before taking a short break, I check my exp to notice that the Magic and Smithing were not even. I began with both 400k from a level and they advance with superheating at the same rate. I was upset to notice that I did have my gauntlets on but that they don't work this weekend. JaGeX never announced this in either the news post that came out today or the fourm post that has been up for the past 2 weeks. I'm not bothered about losing the ore as millions more can be bought but that I wasted the hour or so superheating for the magic exp that I didn't want.

My back-up plan is to fish this weekend which doesn't sound fun but I don't having anything else to do besides that for now.
