Magic level 96, and 559k from 99 Attack!
Ok I got Level 96 Magic today! I was training slayer and I got Black demons as an assignment. I figured sweet - these things are good for magic training, since they are weak to magic. Here’s a pic of me getting the level (click for a bigger pic): Getting this level unlocked 2 new spells for me. I’m also getting ever closer to that level 99 attack, as well. Only 559k xp away from that beautiful attack cape.

99 Firemaking
Well I just got back from going out and its 8:07pm, so I have decided that if I do want this level I am going to have to take more direct action. I calculated how many logs I will need to burn for the level and found that I either need 2.1k yews or 1.4k magic logs. So I’ve decided to buy magic logs instead… I thought about maybe using a familiar pouch, since it speeds up xp but it would only save 40 logs which really isn’t worth it. So now I am on the way to getting this very last firemaking level. I had to have a break for dinner unfortunately. Well - I did get that 99 today!
Here’s a moment in the middle of the emote of the firecape, either that or my face is on fire….
Now for that pesky 99 Attack level! Another skill cape coming right up!

Getting Close to 99 Firemaking
Well - as I thought - I didn’t get 99 firemaking today. I did manage to chop a lot off - wait that’s wood cut. I did manage to burn down to 441k xp away from 99 firemaking. So I should be able to get that tomorrow, easily! I’ll be very glad to get this so I can forget ever having to do firemaking after that. I might have been able to get it today but I had some minor computer issues to resolve due to the fact I was trialling Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta. I had to fix it by reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Unlike Windows, I got prompted when I was reinstalling Ubuntu that I had files on my computer and did I wish to import my documents and such into the new install. Of course I said yes and it saved having to do a major backup before I did the reinstall!

That was just in firemaking XP alone! So stay tuned and I will keep my progress on Runescape updated. Play time is over for Primefalcon!! Time to hit the high scores!

Sojourn
Sorry I haven’t been around for a bit guys and gals. I’ve been really busy…….. (web design, programming, 110MB forums - over 1k posts now, etc….) I’ll try getting back to this a little bit each day from now on……. But i just want to have a little say about helping sites that you admire by clicking their ads once in a while. Talking about sites that offer great services….. Those sites that offer great services for free, or even for a small fee, deserve a little thank you….. Rather than just ad-blocking everyone’s ads, I actually deactivate it on sites that I love and click their ads a couple of times every so often like every couple of days or so (…. but not a fusillade, as I don’t want to get them banned from their ad services). I know most sites don’t want to use ads (like my wife’s) but they need to make money to keep the sites going. So I thought I’d just come on here and say this - if you use a site that offers great free services or informative content, you might just want to say thank you to them by clicking a few ads rather than ad-blocking them…. nodding…… do it….. at least allow ads on their site to show, in case they have pay per view ads on the site. At the very least, you’ll help them stay around - web hosts do cost money after all and I know that good content takes a while to write ……. Now - I wonder what I’m going to get to burn when the new quest comes out on Runescape! Check out Marlaine’s articles on eHow - she is one amazing woman! Sign up to earn money yourself and give her a bit of credit by writing one article. MarlaineMarie@eHow sign up friends. She and her brother, Cyclecyco are getting pretty happy with the results from writing there. I am starting to suspect she is going to focus on photography though because she loves taking pics for those articles now. The sign up credit is only until the end of August 2008 but - hey - do it for yourself and earn money writing about something you love or whatever! {Edited by Marlaine} Good thing! Ya shoulda seen what I wrote the first time through. Hahahahaha - we laughed ’til tears streamed down both our faces!
I’ve been using a great site called Browsershots. If you do web design at all, it’s a great place to check out what each of your pages will look like on any internet browser you need to worry about. It will give you a preview of all viable browsers, allowing you to fix those little glips and slides in your designs on - say - Internet Explorer 6, or any other known problem browsers.

Levels and Birds Living and Undead
Well yesterday I went from 68 summoning to 71, meaning I’ve unlocked the Saradomin Owl, Guthix Raptor, Zamorak Hawk and the Ex-Ex-Parrot. I choose the owl since Marlaine took the hawk. Here are a couple of pictures of my Ex-Ex-Parrot … And, yes, that lovely lady in the background is Marlaine.:-) To get the Ex-Parrot you need to talk to either 50 ships Mufassah or bronze hand Harry above the bar is Mos-Le-Harmless to get a dead parrot, and then to Bill teach (also in the bar or on the ship to/from Port Phasmatys) to get the magic cage. Once you have both, put the bird in the cage and take it just a short distance west of the cave horror den - as you can see here: …and use the cage on the rock. Then just simply remove the bird from the cage and drop it . You will have a new undead pet, the Ex-Ex-Parrot! To feed it, use a chisel on the same rock to get chunks - these chunks are the bird’s food! They don’t stack but you will need a few if you plan on keeping this pet out and walking around with you. In addition I also got level 86 crafting:
She actually took the screenshots.

Reply to DannieP On Runescape graphics
DannieP 24/06/08 said in response to Fun Orb not much fun
DannieP said: Actually Runescape doesn’t run in the browser. It runs in what’s known as JVM (A Java virtual machine), which is essentially a virtual computer on your own computer. It just happens to be convenient to open this virtual machine inside a browser. Runescape already has a cache folder on your computer where it saves the graphics, but it will take a much larger download for the better graphics and a faster CPU and GPU to process those graphics when it comes out. So essentially the same thing limits WoW and Runescape. The requirement of running from a CD is just a piracy protection method. Your hard drive actually runs faster than running from a CD - which means that Runescape could run better than WoW.
Quite frankly, these ‘ Gigantic Graphic redo ‘ as you call it isn’t that great. Runescape will never live to the standards of lets say WoW (World of Warcraft) due to the fact, you can’t have good ghrapics on a brower game. Runescape should become bigger using a disk, but i know its not that easy

Slayer Helmet
Well after a lot of hard slaying, I finally got my slayer helmet today. Here’s an image of the helmet along with the stat bonuses: As you can see, unlike the plain black mask, face mask, spiny helmet, nosepeg or earmuffs, this actually gives some decent defense stat bonuses, even when used without doing slayer! If you actually are doing slayer however, you’ll get the black mask’s +15% bonus to both Attack and Strength! Here’s an image of myself with enough points to unlock the knowledge to make the slayer mask. …and this is where I unlocked the secret to making the helmet….. and this shows that I have the knowledge and skill unlocked …. I have to say that this helmet will be completely worth it since you don’t have to keep ear muffs or anything like that. Even without doing slayer assignments, you’ll have a helmet with defense stats suitable for things like dust devils and such. It’s just tons better if you are doing your slayer, but this is one great helmet! Visit our RR Bazaar on Rune Registry! If you’re looking for games or books that we don’t have listed, let me know and I’ll try to find it for you! Games are GREATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

How to Kill mithril Dragons
Introduction Here’s a couple of pics of a typical trip to these mighty fiends of mith. Take note that these are just after a mere 4 kills each trip! Each trip takes about 13 to 15 minutes, so with that kind of loot in such a short time, you would have to be happy with that! Remember, these are just typical runs without any special luck factor. These things also drop a lot of rune battleaxes, maces and other high gp alchable items on a regular basis. If you are really lucky you might even get a Dragon full helmet or a Draconic Visage - which is used to make the mighty Dragonfire shield! Equipping To start with, you need to be aware these dragons can use melee, range, magic as well as dragonfire. To protect from the fire attack, you need an anti-fire shield in addition to anti-fire potion. You also need to protect from their melee attack, which means the protect from melee prayer is a must. You also need good magic protection equipped, such as black d’hide or Karil’s. When you equip for range, mage defense goes hand in hand with it. Use a rune crossbow with diamond bolts to hit through their protection as well. I’d also recommend taking a 4 dose range potion for each run. Here’s a pic of a good equip and one of a good item inventory: Another item I’d highly recommend is For a lower cost outfit variant, when making your first few trips, you could replace Karil’s with black d-hide, the Ranger boots with Snakeskin boots, and the Robin with a Fremennik archer helm. Do a few runs just to get the feel of it. Other items you need are a couple 4 dose super restore potions (they restore more prayer than the standard prayer potion), a The Long Journey (traveling to the whirlpool dungeon) Then run south to the Fishing Jetty that overlooks the giant whirlpool (you need to have started the fire making part of the Barbarian trials mini game). Once you reach the whirlpool dock, click the whirlpool to jump in. The Dungeon Run (Navigating the dungeon to the Mithril Dragons) Toggle on protect from Melee and take a dose of anti-fire potion, then climb down the stairs. (Caution: There are numerous waterfiends and brutal green dragons at the bottom of the stairs.) Run south a short way to another set of steps that lead up. The Fight Quickly step close into melee range so the dragon will use it’s melee attack. (When you’re close, the dragon uses melee and magic but when you’re farther away, it uses range and magic.) Since you’re protecting from dragonfire with the anti-fire shield and antifire potion, and the prayer protects from the melee attack, magic attack is your only concern but you’re already being protected from the magic attack by your magic defensive armour. Another advantage of doing this close up is that you’re close to the drop area and respawn point so you can stick with the one dragon rather than running around. They respawn pretty quick. Leaving gracefully Final Comments
I’ve been killing a lot of Mithril dragons of late due to their high drop-rate of summoning charms. They drop 4 at a time with around 95% drop-rate of charms, mostly green charms at that, along with a decent drop-rate of blue and crimson to go with.
As with every monster killing trip, the first stage is how to equip. If you’re not equipped right, these beasts will rip you in half in no time at all! I’ve heard these beasties can hit damage in the 50’s with just a simple melee attack, but believe me, their dragon fire can hit a lot higher!
Ava’s upgraded accumulator, which you can get from the quest Animal Magnetism. It gives a good range bonus as well as fetching back the majority of your diamond tipped adamant bolts which will significantly lower the time wasted picking up all those spent bolts during a fight.
holy wrench to increase the amount of prayer restored, (get a wrench from the Rum Deal quest), a games necklace to teleport close to the mith dragon area, and a quick teleport out - preferably a house teleport so you can quickly use your altar to fill up on prayer as well.
After fully equipping, make sure your hitpoints and prayer are both full, and use your 
Games Necklace to teleport to the Barbarian Outpost.
You’ll find yourself on an outcrop in a vast cavern after a brief blackout.
After climbing up the stairs, you will be faced with a Mithril Dragon.
Leave when you can’t carry anymore loot or are out of food which is usually 4-5 dragons depending on what you want to pick up. Staying past this, you’re going to have to either bury bones (more prayer xp using the house altar or ectofuntus) or leave Mithril bars (lots of xp for smithing and then high alching). In my opinion, the bones and bars are the things that make these great to fight. The bones are worth 3k and the bars are worth over 1k each…… So once you’re ready to leave, use a house tele-tablet, fill up on prayer if you have a chapel, then use one of your house’s teleport options to get back to a bank so you can requip for another run.
Sounds easy doesn’t it? Well once you know how to fight these, and are properly equipped, they really are! Enjoy and good luck getting that D Large (Dragon Full Helmet) or Draconic Visage!
