I'm actually starting to get a little burned out, lol. Part of it is that my levels are so high now that it takes forever to level up in most skills and that gets boring. I still like the game, and I think I just need a little break. I will be out of town this weekend and then for a week slightly later in August. I will probably just take a complete break then, even though I will have internet access during both trips, and see if some of the magic comes back. If nothing else, I want to complete every quest before I quit, lol! I've done like 90% of them!

Taking a little break from RS to go back to EQ for a bit. One of the major raiding guilds had their annual scavangers hunt this weekend and I won a sweet arm piece that I have to be level 75 to wear. So, going to do some grinding this week. Hit 73 last night. New expansion coming out and the level cap has been up'd to 85 anyway, so I need to do some grinding so I don't fall too far behind. Should hit 80 by the end of this weekend. \clipart {fingers2} For Runescape though, I started trying to work on my slaying. I have to kill so many zombies, but for the life of me, I can't find any. I'm wondering if they are further north from where I got the quest, and if they are I will need to get my combat level up a bit before heading out into the scary woods.

Hi all, NC I am still wc too. Well wc, fm and farming. I am determined to clean all these hop seeds out of my bank. I have been up at the hops patch in Seers Village for a couple of weeks now. I have been cutting mostly maples, sometimes I go down to the church and cut yews if I pay the farmer to watch my crops. My woodcutting is at 69, firemaking 70 and farming is, 47. My goal is to up my farming lvl so I can grow at least my own yew. But wow, farming is moving slowly on hops and yews are lvl 70 in farming. Hermi, After I am done with farming I think I will work some more on ranging. Hopefully at some point I will be good enough that we can all head over to castle wars. I think my ranging is at 55 now, I would like to be at least a 70 before I attempt CW. Oh and Slayer has given me those blasted green dragons again. I am no longer scared of them, but I hate the crowds. I should head up there in the mornings before I leave for work, maybe then not so many people will be up there.

Didn't touch RS this weekend, but really do need to get on there soon. Found the zombies and wish I had brought more food so I don't have to run so far back to gather some. At least my combat is going up with my slaying, so thats cool. My cat I got on the quest is grown. So what do I do with it now? lol! I need to get my wc up a bit along with fm , but love fishing so much, and it gets my cooking up as I go. Doing the Barbarian Bar Crawl quest so I can Barb fish.

Zgoodgirl, there are some zombies underground in the dungeon in Draynor, not far the Draynor bank. Just look for the red exclamation point to the west. Open the dungeon door and they are right there as you go in. There are also a lot of Zombies on the second level of the Security Stronghold. Your cat will come into use on some other quests you do. I still need to replace the one I lost when I died. I just hate starting with a kitten again.

Biloxi, I had to start with a kitten again to do the Varrock Achievement Diary and the Recipe for Disaster quest. It wasn't as bad as I remembered, lol. Just keep lots of raw fish on hand. I agree that the Draynor location is a good place for zombies. Probably the closest to a bank that I can think of. Edgeville dungeon has zombies, too, but I think the Draynor location is closer to the bank. I play mostly on Private now. Seems like everytime I log on, I have people on my friends list, all young kids, pelting me with questions about quests and wanting favors. The questions frustrate me because a trip to Sal's would answer them, but when I suggest that, they get huffy. I should just put them on ignore, but it feels so mean. They are just kids. So I avoid the issue by playing private which makes it look like I am not even online. God, I'm a wuss. Even in the game, like in real life, I have boundary issues. Sad. Grim. Pathetic. LOL! I got my woodcutting up to 75 also because I want to be able to plant magic trees, and there is no sense planting them if I can't also cut them down. My WC actually jumped ahead of my farming in my insistence on getting to 75 WC so right now I can cut them down, but I still can't plant them! My farming is 73 - 2 more levels to go to be able to plant magic trees, 1 if I use a dreadfowl familiar to temporarily boost my farming stat. I put off the Lunar Diplomacy quest for eons thinking it would be hard, and I finally did it and it is now one of my favorite quests! I did not think it was hard, but there are some level 111 monsters you have to get past regularly so I can see how it might be hard for a lower level player. My combat is 115 at the moment and it was easy for me to get past those monsters. I have not leveled in weeks. It just gets so hard now to level. I'm training strength, trying to get to 99 and the experience required between levels 92 (where I am now) and 93 is almost 700,000!!! Biloxi, there are more green dragons deeper in the wilderness that rarely have people around, but you are also more vulnerable to the dangers of the wild. Last time I got green dragons for slayer I went there and got the job done, but had to run 2 times from revenants. The third time I stood my ground and actually beat the revenant which is super hard because they heal so rapidly. I was so proud.

I play only on occasion these days, as it makes me feel so lazy! Cuttting down my playing time has been a boon to me though, as I'm more active now and not such a sloth. Seems like whenever I play RS these days I'm cooking in the game, it's so funny. Tons of egg and cheese potatoes and fish pies. Why am I so domestic? Still at level 73, am okey with that. Still not high enough hunting skill to (51 currently) to wear the Gloves of Silence (to make thieving easier.) Oh well, it's not a race. I'll get there! Maybe I'll see some of you in the game.

Getting to go on less and less on RS nowadays even though I still itch to play at times. They made me a officer in my guild on EQ and now since they are focusing on more end-game material, any time I had for farting around will be for that. I plan on setting some time a little each week still for RS though. I want to complete every quest eventually before I step away from it.

Hi Nor! Do you have the right kind of bones? They have to be the "curved" bones or "long" bones, not the regular big bones.

Very strange. Are you talking to the right cave goblin? Barlak? I had a hard time finding him at first but when I did, he offered right away to buy the bones I had in my inventory. I don't think you need a quest.

im not sure why he will not buy it? the quest i was talking about was the 1 you have to do just to get in to the city i think his name was Barlak the room he was in had lot of bones on the sheves. and was just down the hall from the market place iv gave up on it anyway for now im back wc magic logs making millons lol i just wish it was faster just made lv76 only 141k till 77

Very odd. My only other suggestion is to make sure you do have Barlak. I remember him as being kind of tucked away and hard to find at first so I am wondering if you have the right goblin. If you want, I will meet you in the game and make sure you have the right one. I love cutting magic logs, lol. They are so pretty! I have my own magic tree planted in the Tree Gnome Stronghold right by the other magic tree, so I have two, one of which is only accessible to me. Yay! I have not been playing as much lately, but the last few times I have logged in, I've done a few quests. I just did Scorpion Catcher which is really, really easy and right now I am doing Slug Menace. I need to go do the Tears of Guthix minigame to get hunting points. Hunting is still my lowest skill.

I am still playing, although only a couple days or nights a week now. Still farming and woodcutting. I am thisclose to 75 woodcutting, farming is 50. I am just about done with hops. I think one more batch of Wildbloods and I have them all grown. Grew all my watermelon seeds. I haven't grown any of my bush seeds yet. Got Curry and Willow trees planted in all the tree plots. I need to cut down the willows and get some maples planted. Still got a load of herb seeds and a pile of tomato's, not sure where I got all the tomato seeds. Maybe when I was pickpocketing the master farmer. I want to get to 70 so I can grow my own yews. Haven't been firemaking much since I have been selling the yews. I think it is still at 74.

Been logging on a lot here lately, and try to pull one or two quests out a day as I do slayer tasks. Halfway through my quests, something else will get my attention, and then I will be off getting my crafting or something else up that I have been neglecting. Love the quests though, and realize that they are the ones that are helping me get things up that I have been having trouble starting. Plus getting cool items to wear has been helpful also. My magic, summoning, and hunting sucks bigtime. And I see thieving is going to be a whipping. I am making a killing with lobsters in GE. And will usually buy out the ones that are in fishing shops and flip them in GE along with the ones I catch. And I finally bought a house! Though I haven't gone to see it yet, I really needed something to start me out in construction and farming. I think I am getting hooked again. LOL!

This is great news~ After some pc tweaking and having Sword of the New World update, we finally got my son online and he uses dialup just fine, keeps up with my cable. Matt & wife Megan aced Runescape last year and their overall verdict was: Boo-rrring game. So the first time in SotNW picking up food they had to ask: is this for cooking tasks? Ha Ha Ha

Having trouble killing the final monster in the Horror of the Deep quest. I'm following Sal's and all the color changes, but I can't kill the thing. Barely making a dent. Luckily, it's not killing me either. I sold everything to buy a dragon axe. Turns out that it barely scores more hit points than my 10K rune claws. At least I can sell it again! (my combat is 74, okay but not great.) ETA got a cook for my house, but she's really snotty!

LOL at the snotty cook. I played a bunch this weekend. Mostly slayer tasks, with treasure trails in between. Got my first lvl 3 clue from green dragons, have got 2 more since then. The rewards weren't much to write home about, couple of rune things, all and all I think I have made about 50,000 of each of them. That puzzle was almost the undoing of me until I figured out how to do them. Ny, I haven't done Horror of the Deep yet, so I can't help.

No biggie. It's a combat level thing--plus my weapon sux! I found out that the dragon axe I bought is for woodcutting, duh. I was killing blue dragons with it, but was taking forever. I just turned combat level 75, so all the dragon weaponry is new to me. Just got dragon platelegs and boots as well. It's a whole new world! Took me forever to get there. I'll continue killing blue dragons for a while, though they are a bit out of my reach combatwise. Plus the dragon scales and hides make a tidy sum at the GE. At least I like killing something in this game! (nyheat does not enjoy killing things). I also enjoy attacking the Chaos Druids in the Tower north of Ardougne--they drop lots of herbs, easy to kill, level 50+ thieving to unlock the door. Also a chest in the basement with two blood runes and 500gp. So yeah, that's a good one.

I hate getting agility up Trying do the quests as I level. I just recently found out about acheivement diaries and now am hooked on doing those while I'm running back and forth. Almost finished with my easy diary for Varrock, had to get my construction up to 10 to start, so now I have a little shack to call my own lol. My combat level is only 41, I have 56 quest points and my total level is 568. When do people stop calling me a noob?
