Luckybucket as of November 1, 2009

I think I'm going to do little skill update blogs in this format. =o I used to do my bank videos as "Luckybucket as of..." videos, and I grew addicted to it; so I like the idea of reusing it now, in these blogs. ^_^

Anyways, today I went to task with my new plan of action, which for those who didn't read my blog on YouTube, is to tackle quick levels for the time being, and raise my total level.

I got on today with about 60k experience to level Mining. I went to the Desert Quarry and mined granite. Got it in a little over an hour.

I then played around with my new graphics card for a bit, a 9800 GT (IT OWNS), by playing Fallout 3 and Call of Duty 4. This card will be a HUGE help in recording full screen shots in good quality. Definitely worth the $180 I paid for it.

After messing around with my new card, I got back on RS, recalculated the cost of using all my Crimson and Blue charms that I got from 96-99 Strength, and found it to come out to about 5m. I sold my Bandos Chestplate, since I won't be doing Combat for a while, and went ahead and used up all my Crims and Blues. I used Crimson Charms on Granite Lobsters, which are around 13.6gp/exp; definitely not bad for Crimson Charms. I used my Blues on Adamantite Minotaurs, which are about 10gp/exp. Miths were a little lower in gp/exp, but I'd rather get the exp than worry about the slight cost difference.

The one thing that I truly enjoy about Summoning is its speed. Even though it cost me 5m to use the charms, I got levels 78, 79, and 80 within 23 minutes. In the process, I also got 131 combat. That also means that all my skills are now 80 and above, a goal long overdue.

I bought a Dragon Pickaxe the other night, more for fun than for serious use. However, now that I have it, I'm thinking I may as well hit 85 Mining with it. It's around 250-300k per level at this point, which is 6-7 hours per, but in comparison to my other skills, its not so bad. Plus, it's a very respectable skill to have a high level in.

Once that's done, I'll probably RC for a while, get some cash, and maybe make the push for 99 Hitpoints via Chins.

I also calculated out the price of 99 Magic, and it came out to be around 28m, so I might consider going for that soon enough. However, I'm also considering 99 Woodcutting, since the sawmill now makes it an 80k exp/hr skill

But for now, my plan goes as follows:

85 Mining
85 Agility
92 Runecrafting (via Dbl Nats)
99 Hitpoints (via Chins)
95 Ranged (gotten through 99 Hits on chins)
