Above is a link to my skill gains in the past month. You can check my profile on there at any time to see what I'm up to.
So recently I've been hitting a few different skills, switching on and off basically just focusing on gaining quick levels. I've been very jealous and somewhat frustrated that all my friends are now passing my total level, which I've always had a lot of pride in, so I'm trying to catch back up to them and put some distance between us again.
So basically my plan to accomplishing that is going for another minimum level goal: First 85, then 90. Currently I have the follow skills and levels for that goal:
86 Mining
82 Smithing
82 Fishing
84 Farming
81 Summoning
88 Slayer
81 Herblore
86 Agility
83 Prayer
85 Construction
So it's still quite a ways from either of the goals, since most of my skills under 90 are also under 85, plus a lot of the skills are either really slow (Fishing, Mining, Slayer) or really expensive (Herblore, Construction, Prayer). I don't have a real plan to go about getting 85+ or 90+, and instead am just going to switch between them as I please to avoid boredom. For the expensive skills, I'm going to craft Natures via Graahks, which is about 1m profit per hour, and I already have 50k Pure Ess saved for when I need it. I've used about 20m so far on Construction and Farming, so I don't have a whole lot left to spend, but I'm using what I can to get levels quickly.
As for 99s, I have a few thoughts on them. First, there's 99 Defence. I want to get it so I have all the melee skills at 99, and only have Range, Prayer and Summoning left. Then there's Range, which like the previous would be 1 step closer to having all the combat skills done. It's about 30-35m with Red Chinchompas, but for it's speed I find it very worthwhile. Aside from those two, I've been toying with the idea of 99 Woodcutting, as well as 99 Smithing. Now from my previous calculations with things like Steel Plates, or Even Iron Plates, 99 Smithing is crazy expensive. However, I forced myself to stop only considering the fast methods, and did a price calculation via Gold Smelting. It came out to around 60m for all the ores, and 40m if I sold all the bars afterwards. The experience rate is around 50-60k/hr. Now, considering how rare and respected Smithing is to see, that's a very very good deal. It's also a fantastic AFK skill, allowing me to do my homework while training. So although I'm not 100% motivated to get 99 Smithing, I am heavily considering it.
To rap things up, I have a few more analysis's to post, including Smithing and Herblore. I also want to update my Freewebs site again, considering it's been so long, and I might be able to upload my Excel files there, so that it's not just 1 per blog entry, and can be accessed easier. Because of my semi-OCD nature though, I'd have to update the entire thing as well, meaning new text art, banner, etc etc. =( And I'm rather crunched for the time to do all that, so it's only a slight possibility.
That's about it for this skill update. Thanks for reading.
