Hello! So yesterday I ended up really committing and I managed to hit 68 runecrafting. Only 2 levels to go until, finally after almost 2 years, I reach my goal of at least 70 in all free to play noncombat skills. No, I was not playing consistently through the entire 2 years. I have played for a month or 2 at a time and then taken long breaks. I will look at my total time played whenever I do reach my goal.
Today's Plan
I calculated how many efficient hours it would take me to hit 69, and it ended up being a little over 6 hours. So, I think I'll just hit 69 today and then spend tomorrow and Monday working on 70, hitting it on Monday. It looks to be about 70k xp to get 69 to 70. At my current rate, I think I should be able to get most of that tomorrow and then finish it off early on Monday.
Flipping Progress
So my flipping account hit made it to around 250k until I got 67 runecrafting on my main. Then, the cost of materials brought it down to around 80k. Well, in that time, I managed to flip back up to 266k. Right now, I'm buying the materials for getting 69 and air talismans are unusually high. So it looks that I'm dropping to a measly 11k. But I'll get it back up.
Anyway. That's all for today. It's really a great feeling knowing that I'm almost to this goal that I set 2 years ago. But it doesn't stop there. After this, I will likely work on a few skills that can't be grinded much faster until my flipping account can afford a bond. Or I might just spend the money on a 1 month membership and buy bonds from there. We'll see.
