I have actually been going really hard in the scape. Since I resubbed a few days ago I've started doing herb runs which actually aren't as bad as I was thinking they'd be. Seeds are expensive but one seed gives multiple herbs so its actually a really nice money maker. Currently my farming is only at 39 but I think it will go up fast since herbs grow so quickly. I bought an Abyssal Whip off the Grand Exchange. It was actually pretty cheap, only a million and some change GP. Runescapes gold is so "inflated" that a million really isn't a lot at all. You can flip that with High Alchemy on some Dragon Full Helms and making gemmed bracers with Crafting in a few hours. What I have really spent most of this time doing is AFKing the freaking crabs. I started on the beach south of Tithe Farm with the sand crabs but I started killing them too fast and moved on the the Ammonite crabs in Fossil Island. I will say theres so many people who try to grind here so there is some competition for afk spots lol. I went from my combat/magic/ranged stats all being in the 50s to now 60 with attack at 70!!! I can finally use the whip and start the grind for the Dragon defender. Oh yeah, and I'm wearing the Bandos chestplate cus i got my defense to 65. I've just had OSRS open on my computer, phone or ipad while doing other stuff lmao and autoattacking crabs. All that matters is I got my upgrades! Got the Bandos, got the whip. Enough of this stupid Rune Shield, it's time for Dragon Defender >:)

RESUBBED AGAIN! I've been neglecting this blog and I need to finish my skilling guides. I'm gonna try to work on that. I can't believe jagex increased the sub price again.... It's crazy that a 2001 medieval cookie clicker java applet costs more than FFXIV at this point. This is why I buy gametime cards off G2G hehehe. I get so distracted doing one thing for too long in game, I need to dedicate myself to a money maker so I can afford bonds. I think once I level up a bit it will get easier cus I can farm for more expensive shit but there is definitely some good low level money makers. I haven't played OSRS in a few months cus I've been playing Turtle WoW and logging back in I remembered the last time I played, I bought 2m worth of Dragon Bones of the Grand Exchange and took them to the wilderness alter to level my Prayer skill and I went to a world with almost no one on it, I left all my gear in the bank thankfully but I got sniped by a PKer. I guess they were just hopping worlds hoping to get lucky. I ended up giving up on that and going to world 1176, the house party world and just praying at someones house with the alter. It's lower rates I'm pretty sure but no risk lol. I have a Bandos chestplate sitting in my bank I got from a kind players drop party, I just need to get my defense up to be able to wear it. Currently as of today I'm at 56 and I need 65 so I'm close! I'm just leveling Slayer in the meantime to get it up. That is my immediate goal. Next goal after that is to get my Magic up so I can start Lunar Diplomacy. Oh yeah, I need to go check out Varlamore too. I've only wandered around a bit outside the main city there but I've read about how they've added a ton of midgame content which is kinda where I'm getting close to. For some reason Farming is so tedious to me, people make herb runs seems so chill but the whole gameplay loop is so clunky to me. Such is the charm of Runescape I guess. I need to level Farming but I've been neglecting it -_- Some day....

I resubscribed to OSRS again after taking a break to play Final Fantasy XIV (the eternal MMORPG hamster wheel heh). My attack is 59 now and I've been grinding Slayer to try to get to 60 to get the Dragon Scimitar. I need to finish Monkey Madness in order to equip it I think??? Even though the Scimitar is cheaper on the Grand Exchange than it is from the vendor lol. I feel like I'm starting to creep into the midgame in a lot of ways, I almost have enough total combat level to go grind out the Dragon Defender which is also a goal. I really really want the Fighter Torso but after watching some videos about Barbarian Assault, it looks kinda intimidating. I dabbled in the new League for a second, it looks cool and I wish I wasn't coming into it so late. The fast XP and the the fact that you can level Agility with permanent run is insane lmfao. I wish it lasted longer. I've been distracted with going hard in the pixel art and super busy IRL. Ahh well, I got enough points for the teleport animation. Jagex put out a massive survey that had some interesting questions, like Old School Runescape having player ran servers like Minecraft or Rust. It would be kinda cool, some of the questions asked about letting players create new skills and areas on their server, I guess like mods? I would play them but I still am kinda iffy tbh because I don't want the vanilla servers to die. This game has so much charm its unreal and letting players take over might make Jagex not update as much or have as high quality in their updates? Maybe I'm just traumatized by modern Mojang lmfaooo. I'm excited for the future of OSRS so many of the planned updates look exciting. Sailing and Varlamore, a whole new continent to explore. I can't wait.

I've been trying to level Herblore. I've been buying Ranarr Weed and Snape Grass and making Prayer Potions. The potions have been selling for a lot on the Grand Exchange and have been my main moneymaker right now. I recently finished the Dig Site quests to unlock Fossil Island. When I first started training hunter I found it to be kind of clunky and frustrating. I was near Feldip Hills hunting the Red Chinchompas and I kinda stopped after I got to like level 15. After unlocking Fossil Island, I love doing the birdhouse runs! I've been getting so much Hunter XP so fast! The birdnests sell for a lot on the Grand Exchange too. I'm sure they're used for something but I don't really care right now, I want the gp. I've been hoarding any Clue Scrolls I find in my bank. I just completed a few today, nothing really great in the reward chests but hopefully it will get better lol. The crocodile Slayer task is probably the most annoying one I've gotten so far. I bring so many water skins to Al Kharid but there is so many crocs I keep having to refill them. My Runecrafting levels are really lacking. Same with mining. I'm gonna start working on those today.
