Diggy, diggy rocks

Done with mining! Now to swap all those lava titan pouches for shards. :P I'll focus more on slayer, maybe upping the daily exp gained to 50k.

Two four

Oh so excited. I'm on a nice, rounded number for my total level (2460) and the downhill for slayer and mining is (relatively) fast approaching! I'll get a double 99 for my birthday, which will be way better than the provincial election I got everyone else.

Revenge of not much happening

Today I got 97 slayer. Only 15,585 abyssal demons to go! (If only it were that easy. :P ) I've been toying with the idea of having a drop party, mostly of slayer monster items. I guess it comes down to either making money from my own hard work or letting strangers get the gee pees.

On the mining front, I'm used to the lava flow and head down there on my own. I do have the golden outfit and 2 gilded picks. Another 50 days or so to finish that skill.

My queendom is making a tidy, monthly profit from herbs and coal. Selling all that netted me 4M (gross of 8.5M). 

Sorry it's not exciting, but once you get to the high end of skills (especially ones you despise), you'll understand.

Moving on up

Remember when nVIDIA was a good company for video cards? Believe it or not, I got 2 green SoD and my compy had to start from BIOS. Jesus. >.<  I've turned my RS settings back to 2006 and will keep away from high traffic areas like LRC, hoping that will help. So I've got to mine at the lava flow which I'm not happy about because it means I have to mine for 2 hours to get the exp I was getting at LRC. I know that it comes across as petty to be complaining about playing a game for 3-5 hours a day. I was looking forward to the gee pees from selling coal and gold ore. Well, it's better than going "old school" with power mining iron/granite.

What is this I don't even

While I was killing dark beasts, another dude was there and he told me to use turmoil and ppots. I said I didn't need to because I had time. (Isn't that why people use turmoil; to speed up killing?) He then said, "Otp costs absolut** nothing". Wth does otp mean? Overload turmoil prayer? Oh that puss? One true pairing?

ION, the cape front is looking on target. Mining getting finished in 74 days (50k exp per day) and slayer in 84 days (36k exp per day; might speed up with putting lamps/dragonkin lamps, PP and TI into it). I've already picked out where I want to get the final mining level up and the slayer one will likely be at the jade vine.

Derpina

Hey, I forgot I can change graphic settings in RuneScape. I've been moping the last 2 weeks at being unable to work on things for no reason. Anyway, I'm flashing back to 2006 and dealing with trippy teleports. It's not lag per se, just the onboard card unable to deal with the teleport animations. Mining is out. I hung out in the lava flow mine for a few days, doing maths, and came to the realization that the LRC are better for exp (and I want money for the ores). Slayer is semi-okay, depending on the task and number of people around me. Runecraft, to my dismay, is just hunky dory. :/ Well, I'll be putting in a lot of time at ZMI than I want. Squeaking out 3 hours of making runes there every day will get me a cape just as my subscription runs out.

The top pick: dragon vs. rune

I've been using a dragon pick for a while. I only heard the dragon pick was the best to use in LRC, but it seemed that people just went with what everyone else used. I decided to finally compare it to a rune pick and see if it's truly worth the extra 12M.

Mining level for both: 94

Where mining: living rock caverns (LRC)

Time: 61 minutes

Outfit worn: agile top and legs, Ardy 4 cape, ROW, glory, Fally shield 4 and boots of lightness

Lava titan used for both

I went for the gold deposits in the central and southern areas. When they were depleted, I went for the southern coal deposits.

Dragon pick 58,490 exp in 61 minutes

Rune pick: 55,195 exp in 61 minutes

Experience difference: 3,295

Costs: dragon 12.4M / rune 18.9k

Both tests were some of the best mining days I've had. At least one of the gold deposits was mineable for most of the hour.

For me, the dragon pick is just a show piece when using the LRC. The rune pick does just as well and costs a fraction. The only time I've seen a dragon pick be worth the high price is mining for runite.

Bot is the new noob

pourcour95- thanks for the kick in the ass to get back to agility and the slayer goal. <3

The long of it: I've got fire for agility and a set date to finish it. Sixty days from now or April 14th, I'll have that skill done with and another schmexy cape for the house closet. I'm going take a stab at finishing slayer this year, too. All I need is to gain 18,163 xp per day. I'm already killing my jade vine and will throw in a visit to the phoenix lair (not doing Bork or skeletal horror) for 2k xp a day, so another 16k in actual tasks. I'm not sure whether to keep putting penguin points into dungeoneering or change over to slayer. What my plan atm is is* to get dungeoneering to 80, which is 6 more weeks of peng points (providing I can get all 16 each week), then switch over to slayer. As for mining,omg noty. The fastest method is concentrated gold and logging onto W84/77 for that is giving me hives. I haven't found a method that works for me yet.
