Day 14: Small Steps, Big Gains

So for today I couldn’t play as long as I wanted, but I still enjoyed collecting more box scrolls and solving them to bank the caskets. I ended the day with 12 caskets! 🎉 Not bad at all for a short session.

I stayed the whole time in the Falador Mining Guild, where I managed to mine 2,000 coal, 1,000 gold ores, and 800 adamantite ores—that’s a great stash to smelt later on! 🔥

Since clue scroll drops from mining can be a little slow at times, I was also thinking about switching it up—maybe heading to woodcutting or fishing soon, since those skills also drop beginner clue scrolls. We’ll see! For now, that’s all for today. Take care everyone!

🐦 Bird Fact of the Day

Birds can be powerful indicators of a healthy ecosystem.
For example, the presence of sensitive species like woodpeckers, tanagers, or wrens in a forest can reveal that the habitat has sufficient resources, structure, and low levels of disturbance. Scientists often monitor bird populations to track environmental changes—so next time you see or hear birds in your area, know they might be telling a good story about the place they live. 🌳🕊️


⛏️ Today’s Achievements

  • Collected 12 beginner clue caskets

  • Mined 2,000 coal, 1,000 gold ores, and 800 adamantite ores

  • Current Mining level: 44.70% of the way to level 92
    Slow and steady through the stones!


May your pickaxe strike rich veins and your scrolls bring stylish surprises.
Until next respawn —

Had been craving F2P so much!

 Monday 19 January, 2026 Hello everyone. I feel like I haven't played during long sessions in a while. Today I am finally starting fresh as a free-to-play user, and after looking and staring for some seconds at my skill levels, I realized I am in the mood for grinding one of, if not the most, boring skills for me: woodcutting.  Nevertheless, I still find lots of joy while I accumulate four clue scrolls at the time, and actually, with the latest change for making fire, I find this activity sort of comforting, while being AFK.  I have to say that having just now a new level also contributed to the motivation.  Also, I noticed I've got 32 reward caskets, which happens to be my current age. So, at the end of this session, I will open them and hope for something exciting or valuable :)  Hi again, today is the next day, meaning Tuesday, 20 January 2026. I have been playing during nice, productive sessions, and I am now giving myself some reward for the hard work. Now,...

First ever post - where my player is currently :)

 Thursday, 3rd of July - 2025. Hello there! I finally decided to start blogging (for the first time) and share my experiences while playing Old School Runescape (OSRS) in Free to play (F2P) mode, with my account 'Donguri15'.  I love Runescape, and I love birds. Welcome to my blog: The Feathered Grind.  :)  Today, I've been working on leveling up one level of runecrafting. This might be the most tedious skill to work on, at least for me. It can become a bit slow, so I decided to mix it up with something that gives me some motivation. That is gold ore. That's right, I am currently 70 on runecrafting, and in the desert of Al Kharid, I am converting 5,000 rune essences into fire runes. So these two gold ores are the ones that I go for after making some fire runes. For whenever there is somebody else mining them, I just go for the iron ores next to them, and wait until the gold appears available again.  You see that 70 in runecrafting? Yes, yes, that is the one I'm g...

Rooftopping until 80 in Pollnivneach

 Tuesday 6 January, 2026 9:30. Good morning, everyone! Today I've decided to work hard and get the level 80 in Agility. Earlier, I thought it would be enough until level 70 to enter the Taverley Dungeon and fight Black Demons, but no. So, since I still have five more days to use my membership bond, I think I can manage it, so today I'll be locked in the town of Pollnivneach, which is near Al Kharid, and is also located within the desert.  Alright everyone, I have just reached level 73 agility and i think I'll leave it for today in this post. I had a big gap without playing today since I had a migraine and also internet was off. Maybe I'll still grind a bit today but for sure reaching level 80 will at least take me two more days I feel. Still, I don't hate at all this skill and I am actually enjoying it :) take care and see you next time!
