Hello everyone. Welcome to my Goals and Achievements thread. I've tried to make this thread clean and simple, but sometimes everyone needs some help. Any comments about the thread in general can be posted, or messaged to me. This thread was mainly developed for my own purpose, to track my progress over time. However I also want you all to be able to view my progress also. I'm nearly always willing to talk, whether it be on RuneScape, RSC, or any other communication. I'll normally talk to you. If you're a good friend, I'll probably give you my Skype name so you can talk to me there.
I've included most of my information below. If you want to know more about me, I'd suggest checking down there.
<div align=center>
My Real life name is Zach, this was the name given to me at birth (Didn't change my name). As for age I'm currently 17 years old, and I was born on the 25th of June 1994. I'm a junior in highschool and average a 4.2 GPA through all my years of highschool so far. I would classify myself as an intelligent person. This being said, my current goals in life would have to be:
Finish highschool
Get a scholarship to a college of choice
Apply and get accepted to Columbia University in NYC
Finish College with a medical degree
Become a radiologist
Settle down and have a family
As for physical matters in real life, I'm a male, I weigh 130 lbs (changes quite often). I am 6 feet 2 inches. After school everyday I either go to a sport practice or workout, I've been doing this since the 7th grade and I would call myself a very fit person in real life. The max bench I've reached so far is 210 lbs.
</div>
<div align=center>
I started off on an account that I trained for two years. My good friend Aaron introduced me to the game and I enjoyed it ever since. I merchanted off my first account starting off about two months after I had started it, and I became quite successful doing it. I'd estimate that my bank worth at that time was over 600m, which was a lot back then. However that account was sadly permanently muted. And instead of continuing to train on that account I quit RuneScape for a couple of months. However I slowly Returned and created a new account named "Return Fate". This account right off the bat was more successful than my previous account, soaring much higher in overall levels in my first few months. In fact I obtained the Inferno Adze at level 49 combat within two months of creation, claiming to be the lowest level currently with a adze. A title I still believe I have not been beat on. I dropped most of my merchanting skills on this account, I hardly ever merchant anymore. But I believe if I was called to action I could merchant my bank to extreme numbers once again.
</div>
<div align=center>
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a bank picture quite yet. However I'll have this uploaded shortly after 99 Runecrafting at the latest. This is one of the earliest pictures of my stats I have, I'll keep looking around for an older one, but no promises. I'll also upload a new stats picture in this section every year on the 31st of December. So to start this off,
I'll be runecrafting as much as I can now that I'm on my Summer holiday. I'm hoping to be gaining 130k+ experience per day. This would put me at 99 Runecrafting sometime in July. However I do get bored with runecrafting via abyss, so if your interested you can contact me somehow on game to see what world I'm runecrafting in.
I am currently training the fantastic skill of Runecrafting. There are several reasons why I chose to start training runecrafting as my first 99 skill on this account. Some of these include,
The Appearance
The Dedication
The Kick-ass untrimmed Cape
The Difficultly
The Overall usefulness of the rewards received from the skill

<div align=center>
The moment of Truth.

September 18th 2011
Once again, I'm back for another update. This week I can't say I did a whole lot, but then again I did. This week I didn't do a whole lot, until the weekend hit. This weekend my clan had another competition that this time around involved fishing. I didn't do as great as I wanted to, but I still did ok. I got 79-81 fishing during this competition. Following this I started to do some herb runs along with hunter at herblore habitat. I got 82 hunter, along with quite a bit of seeds. I have a lot of seeds banked from doing draconic jadinkos, even though I've only been doing them for a few levels. Like I said in my last post, I have obtained enough corrupt vines and more specifically juju hunter potions for 99 hunter. I've also been hunting zamorak jadinkos, just to obtain the infamous zamorak's favour potions. I've got nearly enough for 99 at this point, and I should expect to have at least 99 hunter banked next week. The only part of the preparation phase that takes a long time is growing the herbs, which I can expect to be done with shortly.
I also obtained 84 farming today, brining my total level up to 2043. I've been doing herb runs all week, and it has been quite easy for me to get in a few a day after school. I think I'll continue doing this for awhile, until I decide to go for 99 farming at which point I'll do magics and palms.
I also started to add some new features to my thread this week, the start of which is redoing my anchor images to look more aesthetically pleasing then they were previously. An example of what I'm thinking of can be found below, let me know your opinions on it!
That's all I have for this week, but I'll try and update around Wednesday providing I've done something worth posting. Until next time .
It's been a long time since I last updated this thread. So I'll start by apologizing to the few people who enjoy reading this thread when I update it. Along with sheer boredom I've been busy with school that started back up last week, and simple procrastination. But I promise you I will try my hardest to keep this updated from now on.
Now onto the interesting stuff.
On August 27th 2011 I achieved my first 99 achievement. This lone achievement took me over 10 long months to complete, but I am extremely happy that I decided to do it. This achievement was the skill of Runecrafting.
After I got 99 Runecrafting I was extremely confused as what I should do in RuneScape, and so I began doing some simple flipping with the amount of money I had gained from Runecrafting. I made about 20m from doing this for a few days, then bonus experience weekend was about three days out so I began preparing a bit for that. I also was entered into the ASC (Achievement Skilling Competition) for hunter, so I did a small bit of hunter this week. I mainly collected corrupt vines, and obtained enough vines needed for 99 hunter. I don't really plan on getting 99 hunter at this time, but it's always nice to have them ready and prepared early. After I was done collecting the vines, it was time for bonus experience weekend. I started out with a normal tree farming run, like a majority of other people do. I did 81-83 farming in about 5 minutes. Following this I went to soul wars bank and trained a bit of herblore, earning myself up to 78 herblore. I also did a bit of magic during the weekend, getting 90 magic. Although 90 was not what I was aiming for, I really can't complain.
I'd also like to thank everyone who voted for me for the best thread of August, it really means a lot to me. And it even means more to me that my thread is not done, or up to my expectations yet. This is partly due to my tendency to put things aside for awhile. But I will continue to update and make this thread better every week.
Sorry for this short update, I really didn't know what to say, because it's been so long since I last posted. Until next time .
Hello all, firstly I'd like to apologize with going so long without an update. I said I'd make one when I returned from my trip and unfortunately I did not keep that promise. There is a reason I did not though, I didn't want to make a side update for when I achieved 2,000 total level, which was just around the corner when I got back.
So this week my clan had an agility skillweek, I didn't do much training in this week because of my trip and I did not want to train it much. However the last three days of the competition (Friday to Sunday) I realized I was 87 agility and that this was an ideal chance to get 90 agility. So I started doing agility in these final days, and compared to everyone else I did quite good. Achieving just under 1.2m experience in 3 days without a penance horn, I'd consider that a decent rate. I took third overall in that competition, which isn't bad considering I only did three days. On the third and final day I achieved 90 Agility, along with 90 agility I also got 2000 total simultaneously . This is a great milestone in my goals, and I'm quite happy to say I achieved 2000 total in 1.4 years of this account being created. To give you an idea of the speed I've been going at, that's approximately 138 total levels in one month. Also during this week I achieved 61 herblore, and 81 farming.
Surprisenly this week has actually give me more motivation to do runecrafting, so I think that it will only be a few days before I achieve 96 runecrafting. However I'm unsure about this as I will be playing some GOP in the next few weeks with a good friend of mine, for experience calculations and possibility to obtain the new master runecrafting robes when they are released.
I also uploaded my first official video to my youtube channel this week, which I guess is more of a walk through then a guide to the Gnome advanced course. I plan on releasing one for the advanced barbarian course in the next few days also.
It's been quite awhile since I last posted here. I meant to post sooner, but complications with coming back and me not having anything incredibly interesting to post caused me to push this post back some. Between the time I last posted an update and now, I've gained a few levels, gained quite a bit of experience, and overall have been having a good time playing RuneScape.
Shortly before I left I bought myself 71 prayer and decided to get it quickly before my short vacation. It took me two days because I wasn't feeling as well as I should have the first day. On the second day I told myself I needed to get 71 today because it also happened to be the day I went camping with my girlfriend's family. I achieved 71 prayer just an hour before I left that day and I was almost sure I wasn't going to make it. For the four days following this I was out on vacation and didn't get anything done. When I arrived back home it was my clan's(Surreal) dungeoneering skill week. Basically we would do dungeoneering for a full week and try to gain the most experience we could. Overall I'm not extremely happy with my results but I can't complain. I'll post the link to everyone's results below. I managed to achieve up to 85 Dungeoneering from 82 this week, however in the coming weeks I intend on getting close to 99 when not runecrafting. Other then these few levels, I can't say I've done a ton more than this. Runecrafting has been steadily rising, and I believe I've been hitting the 100k experience per day mark, which of course pleases me.
In other news, I'm thinking of making more use of my Youtube channel and uploading some "Progress" videos once in awhile. However I'm not sure if this is a good idea, so let me know what you think :). I'll also be leaving once again this weekend. But this time its just to tag along with my dad on a business trip. And I'll have internet for most of the time I'm there, which means I could probably be able to log onto RuneScape, but however I won't be posting another update until I get back. However if you wish to speak with me while I'm gone, my IRC channel #ReturnFate is always open and I'll be in there for a good majority of my time away.
Hello again everyone, it's been a long 5 days since my last update(I apologize.) In that time I haven't really done much, being as how the majority of my time has been irl and Runecrafting. But I did manage to do some experience gain, although I'm not completely satisfied with the results, I can't complain. Other than runecrafting, today I managed to set myself a goal of obtaining the witchdoctor robes, the final piece of the witchdoctor outfit I had left to collect. Being as how hunter is a fairly fast skill now with the addition of the jadinko race, I plan on 99 hunter sometime fairly shortly after 99 runecrafting so I figured why not obtain them now. So after hours of trying to obtain a kalferberry seed (Oh how I hate them after today) I managed to capture all of the normal jadinko and obtained the robes (I honestly thought I would get screwed over and get leggings again). Along with this I obtained 80 hunter, which is always a bonus.
Other than this I really didn't do much different from my normal schedule. However I will be leaving for a camping trip with my girlfriend's family this Saturday, and I won't be returning until Tuesday. So don't expect another update until at least Wednesday. Until then, I will see you later.
Hello all once again. It's been quite a long while since I've posted on here, but as you may or may not have noticed I've been working hard here. Revamping this thread has taken much longer then expected. However I've finished with that aspect and I will slowly and surely finish this thread in a few weeks time. Until then I'll be making updates to my thread nearly every day and hopefully this will do me some good and increase my activity here, and on RuneScape. So without further ado, my blog for June 9th 2011.
In the weeks I've been gone I've been doing runecrafting, but not very fast. If you have tips on how I can do this faster, please feel free to help me out. I obtained 94 Runecrafting today, only 5 more levels left to obtain. I'm looking at an ending period of end of July, early August. That's all I really have to say for now.
This week I didn't have much time to be on RuneScape as my dad as placed a ban on my internet past 9:00 pm EST (which is when I do the majority of scaping)so I haven't been doing much this week.
However I have been doing something. Along with my daily assists in runecrafting (which I've been doing so painfully slow) I've managed to do some cooking this week due to Skill-X. I've obtained 91 cooking this week, however I have planned at least 95 cooking.
This blog update won't contain much because well frankly I didn't do much this week :D
For me a long term goal is between 6-12 months away. That being said this section will be reserved for goals that I find I can accomplish in the next 6-12 months.
Runecrafting. What can I say about this skill? I've always loved runecrafting, even on my previous account. 20m is a high goal yes but it's something I want to continue training, even after I hit 99.
Dungeoneering is another of those skills which I like. Dungeoneering gets you involved with other people, it allows you to shine in your strong points and also allows for other people to see it. I'll be getting 120 dungeoneering eventually, but for now I only want 100.
2300 Total level isn't extremely far off my goal of 2496, however it's an accomplishment I'm nearly positive can be obtained within the next year, even more so now that I'll be closing up runecrafting very shortly. After I achieve 2300 this will change to 2496.
This goal is quite the strange and overpowering one. This goal is my basic goal of maxing out(120 dungeoneering included) in less then 2.5 years of account creation. This will cause me to have to train quite a ways still, but I believe it can be done. I started this account in late December of 2009, so I'm a few months away from two years, but I do have a long way to go still. Hopefully I will be able to achieve this.

<div align=center>
The "other" section will be mainly for other games I play, and or things I do in my free time. It will basically be a section where I can show off some other accomplishments outside of RuneScape.
</div>
<div align=center>
Minecraft
As many of you may or may not know. Whenever I'm not playing RuneScape, I'm probably playing Minecraft. Like so many other RuneScapers I enjoy the game. From time to time I'll upload pictures from Minecraft. If you have a server you want me to play on, go ahead and post or message me the IP and I'll check it out.
</div>
<div align=center>[table][tr]
Graphics
In the time when I'm not playing RuneScape or something else, I use my time to make my own signatures, avatars, and other images. Most of the images in this thread were created by me. I would not classify myself as an expert at this, but I do know quite a bit about effects and such. My preferred tool to use to make images is Paint.net. However I do use Photoshop CS5 sometimes. I'll upload quite a bit of images below, look at them if you want :). I also appreciate comments, tips, and other information about how to become better at graphics. Also if you want an image similar to mine, feel free to private message me, chances are I'll make you one.

Nice looking thread Return Fate! Not bad for a start, although I do have slight problems reading some of the text. For example, the text next to the Proof of Account image could be placed below it. Perhaps you can tell us about your current levels? Fantastic start, and I wish you success in the future.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it... does it make a sound...?
Who can do the following?: 1) Take the sunrise 2) Sprinkle it with dew 3) Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
You can't spell Man Bon without 'Man'. You can't spell bonbon without 'Bon' either.
Nice looking thread, i'm jealous off your agile :<
Thanks, Agility is really not that bad for me, I would get 99 if I wanted to :P

So this week I've been working on my thread, and I must say it looks a lot better than before , along with my usual skill skipping during the week I managed to complete Shattered heart for the second week and I may start keeping a log for myself on how many weeks I've done . As well as get Varrock armour 3 and a few other levels. Here's a quick update for this week, which I have no clue how I got so much experience. (19:55:11) -[WY]RuneScript- *** [ TRACKER ]: [Overall] Exp gains for Return Fate in last 1wk: Overall(+24) +1,313,522
Until next week, you can find me on #zybez, or #ReturnFate.
Hey Zach bro, loving the music video, I love the 'Sunkist' commercial with that song in the background <3. The thread is looking very good so far, keep up the good work with updating it. I live in Michigan too, that's a pretty awesome thing . You got some awesome favorite TV shows and bands, you'll have to check out some of mine :).
Good luck on all of the goals and stuff, I'm sure you'll achieve them .
Hey there, pretty nice thread you've got going here, untrimmed runecrafting is going to take a while, but I'm sure you'll manage it if you keep at it, and your agile armour should serve quite nicely Speaking of that armour, where abouts did you train around level 50? Because I'm currently level 52 and need some advice on which course is best for which level, especially from a seasoned expert like you Well, good luck, and hopefully your thread continues to grow

I myself did 52- Roughly 63 at Wilderness agility course, it is quite fast experience and shouldn't take too long if you use a friend to train with you. From 63-80 I did Ape atoll with summer pies until about 73 in which I stopped using them. It shouldn't cost you much to get 73 with summer pies, roughly 500k at the most. On that note, Thanks for supporting me, I don't intend 99 Runecrafting will be that difficult but we'll see .
I really like your thread, it looks great! I think you should make it longer though, more awesome to read.
I enjoyed reading your blogs, congratulations on all you have done! How did you get 1.3M exp with no levels? Or did you just not post them?

NO MATTER WHAT.
Oh boy oh boy has it been awhile. I've been away for quite a long time as you can see. But I've finally returned to attempt to see if I can make this a success once again. While I was gone I gained over 200 total levels, gained a good chunk of friends, and lost a few too. This entry will be my "revivalism" post. I will be returning to this thread, and I will be making more of an effort to keep this updated. Now, why come back now, after all its been a long time? I decided to come back as Summer is right around the corner. This means I'll be doing a lot more RuneScape than I do during the school-year. I decided that this would be my chance to come back and make good use of myself here. I also came back to start keeping a log of all my personal achievements towards my goals. And with that I will continue on with my Runescape portion of this entry.
So it's been quite awhile, and I haven't given up on my runecrafting goal yet. This week I had Spring break, so I decided that I would beast it out and go from 89-91 runecrafting in a week. It was a challenge indeed. I gained around 1,000,000 runecrafting experience this week which was quite the goal. I did achieve 90, and 91 runecrafting this week so I will post a picture of that. This week was also my clan's (Surreal) farming skill week. So I did indeed gain a decent amount of farming experience and even got level 79 farming. That's really all I have to say this week. Any comments about my thread can be sent to me via a private message here on RSC, a private message ingame, by joining #ReturnFate on Swiftirc, or by joining the clan chat "99 Rc Club" in game when I am online. 91 Runecrafting
Wow Fate, It has been so long this you've updated this thread. Glad to see that you've gotten all the dust off with a fresh coat of paint and some new content for us to soak our teeth in. Seems you've been pretty busy with that Runecrafting goal as of late. I look forward to seeing you accomplish this as I know you've been working on it hard, for such a long time now. Keep up the great work making this a better topic and have fun with your goal! I expect a free-to-play party bud.
Welcome back to the awesomeness of G&As Return!
Good luck with the Runescape and your thread, you have a great start.
Congratulations on 91 Runecrafting too!
