Fishing My Way to 76

How one can stick at fishing day in and day out is normally looked upon as either sad or bizzar. To be honest it’s the best skill to train, make money off and do other things until your character is screaming at you to move him to a new spot or his arms are about to snap off holding too much weight.

Although the experience gain isn’t the best in a non-combat skill, it does well against the likes of mining or alternatives.

RS Thanksgiving Goodness

I actually got round to doing the Turkey filled event the other day, forgotten what the reward was, if there even was one. All I remember doing was literally humping my screen as I saw extremely high hits ranging from 170 to nearly 200!

That might not seem much compared to others but my character isn’t ad strong and quite frankly – I don’t give a shit. I would love to show a screen take but I just installed Windows 7 on my main rig and forgot to transfer my screenshot folder.

In a way I was dissapointed, I didn’t do the Halloween event so I can’t compare but it was boring, short and if it didn’t have high hits present then I would have swore my head off at the pathetic attempt to provide us with a break from the game itself. I am really looking forwar to the Christmas event and believe that this is just a one off ‘extra’.

Update: I had to remove the link to the official Jagex announcement due to it not being there anymore, sorry guys.

A Favourite RS Skill?

What do you have as a favourite skill? Do you like to continuously bash enimies with bolts of fire in magic or do you like to connect with nature in herbolore? It is a strange question that is never really answered with a straight reply.

Players that I have asked previously in-game have always given more than one or simply replied with “I don’t really have one”. With thinking about an answer, you need to take into consideration:
- Is it the highest skill on your account?
- Have you trained/used that skill the most?
- Can you spend hours using/training the skill?
- Are you confident with the background information about the skill?
- Is it the one skill you take pride in doing?

I cant really say a favourite for myself, although if I had to choose then I would go for fishing. It is mostly the first task I do when I log into the game and really do recommend new players do to really get some easy cash, source of food and more.

Now they look like a good catch!

Now they look like a good catch!

The reason why I choose this skill as a favourite of mine is due to how I can fish on my desktop then use my laptop to write content, design images, do some coding, watch some videos or a film and other miscellaneous tasks. It is a very good source of income for cash, right now I am level 70 and currently catching & selling Lobsters, or really going for xp and harpooning Swordfish.

Along with the easy cash advantages, especially with Sharks, fishing on RuneScape is incredibly easy and simple for everyone to do. Whether it require a rod and bait, net or cage, depending on what you are catching, it is very simple.

So what is your favourite skill in RS?

Girls Playing RuneScape

Why does it have to be males that play online games? Why do females always get left out of the equation? I know some fantastic female clans who are just as dedicated as men are to their game.

Seen a female character in RuneScape? Wondered if it’s a pervert liking the sprites or a real hot female gamer behind the screen just ready to jump out at you and start striping? I know I did back in the day. I remember chatting to some people while mining in Dwarven Mines and a few were girls who were mates in real life, I found it weird at first as normally women aren’t impressed when you talk about your gaming life.

Wouldn't you like this young lady playing in your room?

When you see more play as the months go by, start talking to them and finding out that some are married, have boyfriends or bat on the same field, you begin to disagree with all the articles around the web that games are for blokes. Women can start to disagree with games are for geeks, I admit that many players these days are still a bit ‘geeky’ but most of us are cool and up for a laugh!

Busy Day 28/11/09

Today has been a fantastic day, with reaching some great level milestones for me in no time at all. I got my Strength up to 65 with barbarian fishing, meeting my fishing update to 71! I am closely reaching 76 for Sharks to really start making some good millions. Along with getting these two skills up, I did stretch my Cooking to 50, half way there.

Great how it goes up with Fishing.

Great how it goes up with Fishing.

Fishing is starting to get irratating, I don’t know if it’s the sheer grind to get to 76 or the fact that I have set it as a goal ingame and the small percentage gain is ticking me off. Still going strong and expect to reach Sharks by tomorrow hopefully.

Quite a nice milestone, nearly at 76.

I have taken a break from Fishing a few hours ago. Went onto doing a handful of quests to get my laughable Quest Points up slightly. This was a welcomed change from the Fishing Guild and set me back on track to reach my main goal.

Funny RS Gold Scam Site

Okay, so you are more than aware of these sites that sell gold, accounts, items and whatnot for real hard earned cash (if you have no idea what I’m on about, a simple search on Google for Runescape gold will put you in the right direction). This is, of course, against RuneScape rules and isn’t allowed. To top that off, they are normally scams ran by kids or young teenagers that want a little bit of cash. In fact, I believe there are some adults carrying this out for definite, although spelling and grammar on most of these websites is terribly amusing.

If you do buy services from these websites and they do hold out to their word, then good for you. If you have been taken for a mug and have lost money or have had your account banned, then unlucky. You shouldn’t try and cheat other players in a game by illegally purchasing skill training, gold or items.
