So it begins...

I finally decided to spend all my money on mahogany planks and get 200m construction experience. The major event that convinced me to do this was the raise of rank 22 from 53m xp to 73m xp in the span of around a month--that scared me. I can afford this, but it will involve selling, most likely, my purple partyhat. I'd rather not sell my mask set or santa hat because those have been rising quite steadily, but under ideal conditions I'll sell my third-age armors and some other things without touching all my rares.

I'm hoping that Jagex will run a bonus XP weekend while I'm completing this goal so I can sell a large portion of my planks, then buy them back afterward with enough for all I need. It's a risky venture, but it won't ruin me if it doesn't happen.

Plus, to be honest, I'm looking forward to not being able to buy everything. A friend once told me that spending his entire cash pile was the best decision he'd ever made, because it made Runescape fun again. Maybe 200m con will do that for me.

In the mean time, here's something everyone should know:

How to make money off items you aren't using!

Do you own a wearable rare or high-level armor/weapon? If so, great! You can lend that item while you aren't using it to make some money. For example, my blue partyhat is almost always in demand, and I can lend it without problem for 200k / hr in world 2. Why? Because people are willing to pay it, even though it does nothing! Therefore, it's quite logical that people will also pay a lot for items that DO do something.

Take dragon claws for example. They're worth 17.1m and one of the most popular items to lend or borrow. I see people in world 2 all the time lending them for 30k / hr, and people pay it! Imagine, if you could lend it for 24 hours each day with a 720k return, you'd pay that thing off in less than a month. That's a lot of money for not a lot of work. 

However, and this part's very important, you've got to convince people that they're being smart by borrowing your item! Whenever someone borrows my blue partyhat, I always take a few seconds after the transaction's complete to tell them thanks, and that it looks great on them. It seems trivial, but it makes them more likely to borrow a partyhat in the future, which essentially means more money for you and everyone else lending partyhats.

Personal: I've attended around eight parties in the last two days, and I had a great time. I got a lot of sun, spent time with a lot of friends, and I'm ready for summer.

I'm building a website right now for one of my teachers, and it's almost done. She even paid $50, so I suppose this means I'm a professional website designer now.
