My Runescape Diary

For some idea I had the mad notion to do some wood cutting, I have heard that the best for xp is willows, so i set off and started chopping willows by Draynor village, The logs here are not wasted I fletch them and sell to the shop so I get woodcutting xp, fletching xp and a small amount of money.

Started chopping willows for wood cutting and fletching xp

My dragon wood cutting axe draws too much attention, I either ignore everyone or agree to sell it to them for 4m, that normally shuts them up for 5 minutes or so.

Willows are supposed to be good xp, best place is Draynor village if you want to keep logs.

I got bored of them so went to Varrock and started on the oaks by the west bank, xp seems to be a lot quicker than willows and I can use the logs for construction, because xp was so quick I decided to get my next woodcutting level, I spent all morning there and got thousands of logs and eventually got 85 woodcutting.

My son joined me and kept giving me his tree seeds from birds nests, I gave him my rabbits foot charm to help them along.

I achieved 85 woodcutting on oaks at Varrock west bank.

The most exciting part of the day a tree spirit, I ran away after I got the screenie because I had no armour or prayer.

Cooking for Life.

There are plenty of people with 99 in a stat or 2, even some low level players have a stat at level 99 and can wear the cape for that skill, I have not been bothered with getting a skill to 99 and have trained my skills until I can do the best thing in that skill, I am not the type of player who likes attention and seeing the amount of people with skill capes getting asked to do the emote is another reason not to get one.

Having just got another level in cooking I decided I would like to go for the cooking cape and get 99 cooking, I will probably just wear the cape for a day or 2 but its a challenge that is easily reachable, cooking is without doubt the easiest skill to raise to 99 that is why there are so many cook capes around and very few agility.

Cooking to 91 is fairly easy to achieve if you have a fair amount of money to start with

I can now cook Manta rays

I am not very good at buying things on Runescape in bulk, I am very lucky that I have a very good friend that is an expert in such matters, he has taken on the task on a voluntary basis and enjoys getting the items I require for the best price, I would have stood no chance of getting level 99 quickly without his help, I do not take advantage of peoples time and effort and he will be rewarded.

So I am going to be in the rogues den for a long time now, just showing my face to collect sharks and to get a breath of fresh air.
