Quatro de Mayo

It's been a frustrating few weeks. I kept Dungeoneering and just as I was about to kill the boss of a 1+ hr long solo med which would get a level as well as enough tokens to get a CR, the server crashed. Not a problem on my end, but a problem on RS's end. I couldn't log on for over 40 minutes. Not only did I not get any experience or tokens from that time spent, I lost the items I bound. I don't get it! I had them before the dungeon and I should hold on to them, however that is not the case. The only thing I had when I went back into the dungeon was my gorg arrows. I lost my hood and my Prom spear++. Not only did the game let me down by crashing, it stole from me.

After a few hours of blowing off some steam, I sucked it up and got what I was looking for. Needless to say, I'll be taking a break from Dungeoneering for a good amount of time. I also don't understand how Jagex just won't even address the issue. The items were bound and I could even concede if it was maybe a problem on my end, with lag or my computer crashed, but not when their world goes down. Lame.

I used the sword on Mith Dragons and it was pretty sweet. I did a round of... that summoning minigame where you gather shards that I can't think of the name of at the moment, then went on to Waterfiends. I love the sword. If I ever lose it, I'll probably be crushed. I can't imagine going through all that to get it back.

I've been spending a good amount of time at Livid Farm. I think I'm the only one who actually likes it. I've unlocked the first 3 spells and am working on the rest. It got me 95 Magic and 89 Farming. Right now I'm pretty close to 96 Magic and 82 Agility. I'm excited to check out the pouch repair for when I RC. I'd love to be able to Vengeance Others, but that's a little ways off. I'd say I'm about 11 hours into the 35 needed. I did most of that in just a couple days, I'll probably take a little break and then do it in spurts. I'll take all the Agility xp without actually training Agility I can get!

The new capes came out yesterday! I'm not thrilled about the design chosen of the Veteran's Cape (I think the flames at the bottom are tacky, it could have been so much more elegant) but the emote is great! I love being able to stand on a giant Rocky V symbol. I'd actually like it to change over the years as well. Maybe the people who have played 7 years get to stand on a giant VII or X for 10 years. That might make it a little more personal.

Jagex claims it won't tell people their start dates of their accounts. I wonder how people will know when they've played 5 years then... Mod Emilee said to check the holiday items if they weren't sure. That might be an ok gauge, but if anyone's like me, I didn't care about holiday items for the first few years I played. I think the first thing I got was the Grim Reaper Hood, and that was easily after several years of playing.

With the Classic cape, I feel the opposite of the Veteran's Cape. I love how it looks, but I'm not thrilled with the emote. Yeah its a little nostalgic, but meh.

I made all the skill level capes as well. I can wear the 80+ one, but was still able to make the 90+. They look alright. I don't think I'll do much more with them than just put them in my POH though.

I need to use up my Hati Paws! 100% left remaining and only 6 days to go! Look out zombie monkeys, I'm coming to throw small exploding animals in your faces!
