I got 98 strength the other day, 15 March 2007.

Thats not bad quite a good level to get, nope its not I want more, so I set out on a frenzy to get 99! I went off to pest control with the intentions of getting 99, I had ancients to help win the rounds by Barraging the spinners that appeared and the Blue portal if things got close (The blue portal is the only mage weak portal).
I had about 2.8k bloods and the required water and death runes for Ice Barrage and off I trot, the problem with Pest control is if people lose a game it becomes a carp world and everyone leaves this sometimes makes it a carp world and the rest leave, all worlds could be good if people didn't leave when they lose a game, low level players make it easier for the high level players by reducing the defence of the portals and the number of monsters coming through the portal, so don't moan at them thank them for playing.
My message that I am continuing to say is don't kill the f'in spinners, I would love to kill the muppets who keep saying kill the spinners a lot of time is spent killing spinners that are attacking me, the aim of the game is to kill the portals not the spinners, the spinners will not kill me Im a big boy and can withstand many spinners on me, unless you need zeal kill the portals, I repeat DO NOT KILL THE SPINNERS just attack them and get their attention you do not need to kill them, repeat after me DO NOT KILL THE SPINNERS.
Anyway I spent most of Saturday there getting good world and bad world swapping worlds for better ones, this was quite intensive training but I was there most of the day and got a lot of xp about 600k and 65 points before I retired to bed.
Sunday morning I got up and started again, I was getting good and bad world and got my first 100 tickets and a few more before I needed to go out about 2 o'clock ish I got back later and started again, finding a world that could win was a nightmare and very frustrating, losing games for some stupid people doing things like being stood next to spinners and not attacking them, yes I know "don't kill the spinners" but attack them and continue on the portal.
I had heard that world 140 was a good PC world so I thought I would give it a try, so I logged out and logged into the German speaking world and woot what a lot of fun to be had by all, no one there speaks German which was a bit of a shock, I did find 2 Germans on it but they spoke English better than I do.
After the initial fun of using the German monster names I got down to some serious training, my bloods had run out so ancients were out of the question.
Well it was great, for some reason when we went off the lander I thought of the Normandy landings I don't know why I know very little about the Normandy landings but we were winning every game very quickly and in no time I had 100 points and traded them in, I used the Zybez Pest Control Calculator to find how many for 99 strength and it said 37, so I stayed up to get 37, I knew I wouldn't need that many but I got them anyway, I was training strength and getting xp that way so I would have some points left over.
I got my 37 points in German world and came back to an English speaking world to exchange my points and wooot woooooooot 99 strength.


I was knackered and dead chuffed I got form 98 to 99 strength in 2 days at pest control, I got my cape, the emote is a lot better than the attack one but the attack cape looks nicer.
I also went up a combat level to 121, I have gained a lot of mage xp and my hp is approaching 99 now as well.
