2. Box Match - 100k - Win
3. No Arm Ranged - 200k - Win
4. Rematch ^ - (200k) - Lose
5. Box Match - 100k Win

* I'm new to the whole staking thing and I didn't expect what happend here. This girl and I were supposed to be doing a whip/dds match with no armour, but she pulled a fast one by switching to a Staff of Light and using its shield special ensuring her an easy win.

** I wised up here and bought a SOL of my own, but I lagged in the begining and died before I could switch to my staff.

Staking?

I've seen, heard, and read about staking in the Duel Arena and it seems like a good way to make gold. However, I'm a low risk person and so I tend to avoid staking so this would be a change in pace for me. I'll probably give it a few goes soon to test the waters.

91 Runecrafting within reach and Death Hats

I've still been Runecrafting and I'm only 14k experience from 91 now, but I've decided to take a break. There's a new update that brought two new items into the game which are PvP themed. They're the Death and Duelling Hats which both keeps track of your statistics and allows you to boast them to your friends and enemies alike.

These new hats transform as you get more and more kills in either the Wilderness (Wildstalker Hat) or the Duel Arena (Duelist Hat) and look amazing. While I think these new hats are pretty neat, there are some things that I don't like about them. One being that these new hats will likely cause PvPers to flock to the Wild in the masses, some of which will be looking for cheap, quick kills i.e. Abyssal Runecrafters. Also, I sense that there will be boosters who will bring a buddy to kill in the wildy or duel arena in order to obtain the upper tiers of the hats.

Woot! Finished my last Final.

I've been studying all week and now I'm finally done. I'm officially a Sophomore in my University now =)
