Skills Update #1

http://dev.runetracker.org/

Above is a site that I've used recently to track my skilling. It's far easier than taking screenshots of my levels each night, which I used to do way back when. Basically it works by checking your hiscores at set intervals, but to prevent unnecessary data gathering, it only gathers data on usernames that have been manually searched. Meaning if you haven't done a track on your name, it will start from the day you first track yourself. So go do so now!

Over the course of the past month, I've mostly been working on Slayer and Strength. Although Strength is my least favorite combat skill, it's the closest I have to 99. I'm currently about 950k away from it. I'm doing it via Slayer to keep me on the task, as countless hours of fighting bandits would drive me insane. It's also more valuable to work on Slayer now, than by getting all my combat stats to 99 first, and then get all that extra experience just to get 99 Slayer.

Currently I'm using a Slayer Helmet, Saradomin Sword, Bandos Chestplate, and Torag Platelegs. It's the best I can afford for Strength training. I'm not using a Godsword because the speed doesn't make up for the high hits. Plus the Saradomin Sword is about 16 million gp cheaper than a Bandos Godsword, so this way I can actually afford the Bandos Chestplate. I'm a bit strapped on cash right now.

I'm planning on hitting 99 within a week or two, and then selling off my SS to buy a Whip, and train Defence to 99, still through Slayer. By doing that, I'll have 99 Hitpoints and 90 Slayer in the process. It could take quite some time though. Oh well, better now than later! :)

I'll consider creating a Drop Log of my Slayer drops and putting them on a Google Spreadsheet so that it can be shared. That way I can create a rough estimate of drop rates for items.
