Awh it's great that you can play again!

I played for a little while when Archaeology was released and I think I got to around... 25ish, maybe? The skill is quite fun but I ended up getting frustrated that there was no way to check the soil at Al Kharid because I did not feel like going back to Varrock every few inventories (even with the soil box). I didn't really explore any other dig sites (I don't even know what others there are), and there are definitely a few elements of the skill I don't understand but hopefully when I get back into the swing of playing again it'll all click for me.

Honestly the whole thing with only being able to check soil at the Varrock dig site was frustrating me too. It's really the only thing turning me off from sitting down and grinding levels for a few hours. It wouldn't be so bad if the dig sites were closer to the lodestones, if there were bank deposits nearby, or if the soil box could hold more in it, so I wouldn't have to make constant trips back to Varrock to clear my inventory.

Totally just realised I never replied, haha. And I agree completely, I'm hoping after a while of it being up and running, they'll add some deposit boxes/bank boxes, or at least another soil site (PLEASE). I haven't touched the skill since it came out (minus finishing up an artefact) and I'm not sure if I'll have the motivation any time soon. :<

I've decided to give myself a goal and unlock invention finally! A pity that I hate 2/3 qualifying skills (crafting + divination...), though! I got lucky and ended up with 4.1k protean hides from treasure hunter, and a few bars/memories so that's helped. So far I'm sitting at 66 (?) for divination, 71 for smithing and... 74? 75? for crafting.
Has anyone here started invention? I haven't really looked into it and I'm worried I'll end up disliking it too, and I'll be putting in all this work for nothing. :")

I feel that, I'm pushing for 80 Crafting and Divination too. Only at 70 and 67 respectively, but I'm trying to make use of the double XP event to make a strong push towards that. I hate looking at my level tab and seeing something still at level 1 :' )))

Oh same, the level 1 is superrr irritating, especially since before archaeology was released, I made a goal to get everything above level 60. I ended up doing that some time ago but that level 1 was sooo unsatisfying. I’ve got to start archaeology again and get that up too.

I actually ended up unlocking invention yesterday and wow, what an irritating but awesome skill. I spent so much time yesterday trying to get the right parts and ended up messing up and wasting them. :”)

The only skills I still need to level up to get everything to 60 (besides Archaeology and Invention) are Farming and Herblore, but those are 59 anyway and about a sneeze away from 60.

Still haven't gotten Crafting and Divination to 80 yet, but I made it to 71 and 70 respectively, with a lot of focus on Divination since I noticed it seems to level a little bit slower, albeit less expensive than Crafting.

Don't know if I'm going to have enough time to fully take advantage of the 48 hours of double xp, but I'm trying to make as much use of it as I can.

I did just get a new gaming PC to replace the old junk I was using before, so at least I'll be experiencing better speed and efficiency. Some things in RS are just a pain to do if your PC isn't strong enough to handle it, and that's saying a lot about the PC I was using, all things considered.

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in a while! I took a hiatus from RuneScape for a while, but I'm planning to come back soon once I'm not as busy.

In case anyone isn't aware, RuneScape 3 was recently brought to Steam. You can link a pre-existing RuneScape account to your Steam, and you get special Steam-exclusive gifts for playing it through Steam.

There's also a nice bundle you get from purchasing a membership through Steam, and I'll be picking that up soon. Happy skilling y'all, hope you get those sweet xp gains this holiday season 👌

Hey! Thanks for your post, you reminded me to link my Steam account so I can clock my hours. :")

I took a bit of a break too, but last night I ended up getting my 3rd 99, in crafting. I actually hate crafting, which was a weird motivating factor because I wanted to get it out of the way. I mainly used proteans, bonus xp (2-4mil worth all together?) and some lamps. It was kind of satisfying to reach mastery in a skill I don't really enjoy! I want to go for another one, though I'm not sure which skill to go for next.

I also finally did the quest to unlock Menaphos. I can't get over how pretty that city is! I need to work out the reputation system some time, hopefully posting this here will remind me, lol.

Hey, hope it's all good to double post since it's been a while!

I was wondering if anyone was affected by the recent server outage and account lockouts.

Unforunately, I was! I hadn't heard about the lockouts, so initially I thought my account had been hacked. I was relieved to find out this wasn't the case, and by that time I think the outage had only been around 10 hours? I got my account bacck somewhere between the 4th-7th wave, and everything is basically okay! I seem to be missing a bit of money (15mil-ish), and for some reason my skillcape had gone deep into my bank even though I had been wearing it, but apart from that everything was where it should be which was a relief.

The welcome back package was really nice also - I'm basically drowning in protean items now! They must've also either restored or given us some TH keys too, I came back to 164 which was a nice surprise.
