Sisters are doing it for themselves

Ahh, I love Korasi and her "bash it with a stick" mentality. <3

Two things I'm not happy about concerning this quest. Firstly, "navigating a maze of beer" was advertised and "kick beer barrels around" was delivered. Secondly, the music track, All for the Pest, is still locked after I finished the quest. Is that a glitch or did I skip over something?

I killed the void pest. If only choices like these were implemented into the game.

ION, I was killing dagannoths under the lighthouse because Kuradal thinks I enjoy doing it, when someone mentions my herby cape with the >_> face afterwards. The next thing he says is, "*cough* rich noob *cough*", while showing off a spectral ss! Let me give you a big tip. Just because I wear an herby/summoning/prayer cape doesn't make me rich. Any riches I had were spent getting the damned skills to 99!

New things

I have finished with my runecrafting for an extremely long time. Finally, I reached level 91 which is apparently where the gold pieces come. I haven't figured out how, exactly, that happens when I use the nats I make.

Anyway, I learned a valuable thingy about my alotted bank space. Jagex adds up the F2P and P2P bank space together to get this mystery 516 total. Seeing as I have 2 sets of numbers whenever I open my bank, it bothers me a bit. It didn't used to, but I can't wrap my head around the math. 

Lastly, I invented a role-playing game to play when I'm very bored. I get low on life points, then hurry to Morytania. I activate the soul split prayer and attack people, pretending to be a starving vampire. It's most fun when played with the swamp vampires as you can be pushing to dominate the area.

@Jamie - Yes, quote whatever you need.

Who cares? I care.

This isn't directed toward people from non-English speaking countries. This is for you, Canada, U.S., Great Britain, Australia; the descendants of the long-dead British empire whose base language in most schools is English.

Rogue  is part of the name of the basement under the Toad and Chicken Inn in Burthorpe, those nifty bits of clothing you get from Brian O'Richard and the bald dudes northish of the Chaos Elemental. Rouge  is completely different.

Loose rhymes with goose and has nothing to do with lost.

Binded and quitted aren't words. Fuck popular usage. You mean bound and quit.

And now for something completely different:

I know why I find dungeoneering such a drag (I can barely get one dungeon cleared before wanting to stab myself with an ice pick ++). Imagine only being able to train crafting by making pottery and jewelry, but after making each item in sequence (pot> pie dish> bowl> plant pot> pot lid> gold> sapphire> emerald> ruby> diamond> dragonstone amulets), you have to start all over again with those blasted clay pots.

Family fun

With the new resource dungeons out and some of them available for F2P, I cajoled my husband into logging on with, "Get your noob ass on RuneScape. There's shit you need to do." Usually, I'd log on with him to show him since I'm crap with directions when not online. This time, he said he could do it by himself. :o Noob is getting above of his station!

I told him where to go for the first 3 dungeons, advising him to take food in case something happened and he couldn't run away fast enough. Edgeville was quite fun since he learned about the brass key and they lonely building west of the cooking guild.

Karamja was another kettle of fish. He got distracted on the way, determined to make the ship fare by killing goblins near Port Sarim, not because he has no money, but that he was close to leveling up attack, strength* and defense. Once he'd "gathered" enough gold (and runes, bronze arrows and bronze bolts), he paid Seaman Lorris (hee hee, "seaman") and sailed to Karamja. As he tried to get onto the gangplank, he picked up 500 gold pieces laying about on the return ship. Carrying around this kind of money concerned him. I reminded him to just run if he got attacked.

Anyway, he found the hole on the volcano and dropped down into the waiting arms of a skeleton, who wanted to kill him. When he ran far enough away to get the skeleton to shove off, a deadly red spider pounced. When he got away from the arachnids, he found himself in the midst of hungry lesser demons that, unsurprisingly, wanted to use him as elevenses. He staggered into the hidden dungeon with some relief. The lessers in there were some distance away, giving the impression of safety, or just long enough to use the ring of kinship teleport. 

The demons ...well, had other ideas.

By the time he'd escaped the walking deaths and scarpered up the rope, he was sitting at half health and shooting me dirty looks.

*He never did get that strength level. He spent the next two hours chipping away at one coal rock in the dwarf mine resource dungeon (the one with silver, coal and mithril).

That's it exactly

Full Bandos, Nezzy helm, fire cape, whip and dfs - B1ll_Schm03

Spotted cape, boots of lightness, nature tiara and spirit graahk - X_StrPk_X

Agile top and legs, Ardy cape, boots of lightness, lava battlestaff and Abyssal titan - Kitt Fox

What do these people have in common?

They all use Daemonheim for fast banking.

Obviously, they want to join your dungeoneering party.

Because, yeah, they aren't doing anything else.

Disturbance in the Force

Sine the countdown of my membership going, I've been slogging away at the pure essence in my bank. I told myself, "Just 1k a day. Takes, what, an hour at ZMI? I can stand an hour running the hellhole that is W70 ZMI". Eventually, the people training there broke me. I couldn't take the herd mentality and being a free taxi anymore. I decided to try ZMI on another world, wanting to know how much I'd get beaten by the Zamorakians roaming the tunnel.

It's quite all right. Oh yes, 99 defense and magic help a lot and I don't get hurt that much. So I'm running ZMI on my own world, contented knowing no one is waiting to shackle onto my ass like a patient barnacle. 

I didn't notice until I rechecked my maths.

I'd been clocking out 3k pure essence a day.

For a whole week without realizing it.

 And I'm not insane yet.

:o

ION, the poll results are in. Kitt wins, so I'll plunk down more money for continued membership. Also, for the 2 people who want me to die in a fire:
