A little of this, a little of that

Chipping away at Runecrafting bit by bit. I had been doing double Cosmics for the cash, but Death Runes are actually worth a little more than 2x Cosmics. Also, they’re a little bit better xp. I’m really not minding it, its good money, but it does take forever. I feel like I’ve been working on that this month more than anything and I’m still about 75k xp away from my temporary goal of 77 Runecrafting (Blood Runes).

I’m trying to grow another Saradomin Owl. I’ve managed to mess up 3 times already due to forgetting to pay attention to it. I figured I’d do some Fletching with my growing stock of Maple Logs. Got the chick to about 60% and got 84 Fletching in the process.

Leveled Attack to 90 and got 123cb overall. Also got a Champion Challenge scroll for the first time ever. Killed the Zombie champion pretty easily. A few xp of Slayer and HP as a reward. A cool looking banner hung from the wall, but more importantly, I unlocked 2 new music tracks. Only 14 left until I have all of them.

Absolutely loving the free Pure Essence reward from the Adry Diary. Even if I just collect that, make 3 quick trips into the abyss to make Deaths, that’s a daily reward of over $67k, for about 2 mins of effort as well as about 1500xp.

I didn’t even really notice until I had passed it, but at some point I got over 100m total xp this weekend.

Everyone seems to be discussing the inflation of the economy. Yes, a lot of things cost a lot more nowadays then they did a few months ago. Prayer Pots are right now what they were when they were being merched and everyone was up in arms at it. On the other side too, doesn’t it seem to even out with the items you are selling? People seem to forget that aspect of it. Yes you might have spent 20m buying herbs when a little while ago you would have spent 10m. Didn’t you get that 20m at about the same speed as the 10m?

I’ve been saving a bit, so I’ve amassed a nice little stack of cash. Sure that giant sword looks nice, so does that shield over there, or maybe those tassets, but their prices are through the roof. With every day, players are getting better. Updates come out with newer, better products, newer ways to gain xp easier. More money is being generated by more people, so it makes sense things get inflated. For some reason though I have a feeling things are going to come down soon. I’m not sure why, just a hunch. Maybe there’ll be a mass exit if Mechscape is ever launched. Who knows. All I know is that the only thing guaranteed to be stable is the actual cash itself. In the meantime, I’ll just keep doing what I do. Even though I’ve got more money, I still can’t justify it to myself to spend such large amounts. It took me forever to decide to buy a BCP when it was only 14m, now its like 22m! I’m also wondering if I should just sell that, my Karil’s and Verac’s since they’re worth so much. Who knows, I’ll probably just sit back and do nothing. Any input?
