Virgil Brigman Back Online...

Picked up my laptop last night! Its weird, having the same machine but now all the settings are reverted back to what they were because they replaced the hard drive. So its the same, but competely different. I need a couple of hours to turn off all the unnecessary stuff taht runs for no reason. It's kind of like Cherry 2000, if I can throw an obscure 80s sci fi reference out there. If you haven't seen it check it out. Its like Mad Max meets Terry Gilliam, set in the 80s version of the future. Now that you're completely confused, I'll continue.

Cashed in 45 Penguin Points for over 75k xp in RC to get me to 70. Leaving only Thieving (68) and Construction (66) under 70. Thieving I would have taken care of last night, but I'm having some mouse issues with the reworked computer and going through Pyramid Plunder on a touch pad seems like a nightmare.

My goal for the end of the year was 75+ and I feel like I'm on a good track to achieve that. Prayer, RC and Construction seem like the only ones which will be an issue. Theres about 34 weeks left in the year and using all on RC will bring that to about 78, so I'm sure the last month or so can go to another one of those skills. Who knows, maybe there'll be something that makes me really want to train Con that comes out.

I never knew that Tool Leprechauns noted herbs for you. Ah well, after hundreds of runs I don't think I'll change up my routine now. It's pretty simple. In inventory - 5 air runes, 1 law rune, cabbage port ring, skills necklace, ectophial along with spade, dibber, watering can, 4 herb seeds, 4 marigold seeds and I just use the leprechauns to store my compost/buckets. Ectophial - farm - skills to fishing guild - bank - farm - camelot tele - get flax from Geoffrey - bank - farm at Catherby - bank - cabbage port - farm - glory to edge - done. I tele to edge because I usually make a GE run afterwards to either sell the herbs or sell the marigolds. Marigolds sell for about 3k each and the seeds cost pennies, definitely worth while.

Did a star which took forever to find and even longer to mine. Got about 25k from it. Then did an evil tree which got me under 100,000 for Woodcutting. This amuses me a bit. WC was the last skill I got onto highscores for. It always stood out like a sore thumb. I hated training it. I don't think I got onto highscores with it until I got something like 66 or 67 before I broke onto it. Runescape Wiki now says the lowest to get on is 60 since the increase from 1M highscores to 2M highscores, so that sounds about right. I kind of love it now. Its my 4th highest skill. The Evil Trees, leprechaun magic, stealing creation are all major factors in it. As well as the Adze as motivation to get logs in order to get my FM up.

That said, its good to be back on! Hopefully I'll have something more interesting than just a status update for the next post.
