Goodbye Bonus Exp Weekend

     Well, the bonus experience weekend is finally gone. We can now proceed to dump everything we made onto the Grand Exchange and watch it crash like a bird tied to a rock. Personally, I quite liked it (as it was my first ever Bonus Exp Weekend that I've actually been a member - I'm always out of membership whenever they roll around for some reason). So here's how I wasted my precious time last weekend.

     I got my membership renewed the day before the bonus experience weekend started, so i really didn't have any time to prepare. I frantically tried to buy ingredients for super energy potions, but fungi wouldn't buy so i ended up trying to put ingredients for super strength potions which also didn't work. In the end i just bought a ton of avantoes, grabbed my flail, and headed to Canifis. (after making a few battlestaves really fast)

Hurrah!

I then proceeded to run in and out of Mort Myre with a terrorbird trailing me, repetitively using my flail to bloom fungi, recharging my prayer points at the Nature Grotto, then running back to the Canifis bank and making super energy potions. I got my herblore level up to 64 (high enough for While Guthix Sleeps if i use potions) and managed to waste a large amount of my bonus modifier in the process.

Next up - Guess where?

After that i donned some desert gear, grabbed my blackjack and headed out to Pollivneach (actually, the building on the left in that picture is exactly where I was) to do a little thieving. I got from 66 to 70 thieving, high enough for me to start the quest "Do No Evil". For those of you that don't know yet, I'm a quest afficiando and I'm currently working on earning the Quest Cape. Blackjacking Menaphites is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to earn thieving experience in the game - right up there with Pyramid Plunder. After that, I took my weekly trip to Tears of Guthix and the circus (and might i recommend our Distractions and Diversions page) and managed to get 54 Dungeoneering.

Sort of near under here or something...

After that i headed to the mine underneath Falador and got 67 mining, then i used the ores i mined to work on fixing some cannons in the Artisan's Workshop (which is great experience). I ran out of ore and bars pretty fast so i headed to Turael's in Buthorpe to get a new slayer task. I know this sounds pathetic, but my task before was Greater Demons and I really didn't feel like killing a hundred something of them. They're really annoying unless you use Guthans or magic, and after blowing 3 mil on herblore i really didn't have any money for new gear. So, i quit my task and got a wolf task from the noob slayer master. After i finished that task, I went to Duradel and got a Suqah task. So i headed to Lunar Isle and started to dice up some Suqahs with my whip. This morning i got 58 Slayer.

Rawr!

So that's how I ended up wasting the majority of my weekend. I got some decent levels, earned some decent experience, and got two of the skills trained up to what i need them at for the Quest Cape. Overall, a fairly successful weekend. Let's hope there's another one in the near future!

Hope yours went just as well, if not better. Have fun 'Scapin!
