Of Bad Blue Lightning



That set if Lord Marshal came in last Monday. Today's Mobilising Armies update allowed me to sell all of my previous rewards, get my Warrior's Ring enchanted and buy the best Quest Kit out there.

The Menagerie update also gave me an incentive to close off the 3 levels of Summoning I had left and get all the God birds. Once you add a pet to your house, it automatically begins wandering around your house. I'd love to see that happen, I'm raising another squirrel. Pity I set the first one free.

Also, while cutting Teak logs for the menagerie, I somehow got two bird's nests in one inventory. Nice.

Of Feeding Thineself



I still don't see why people don't use a crystal bow. Is it because of the recharge?

The damned weapon has greater damage than Rune Arrows no matter the charge, it has range longer than anything else. It's also 4 times faster than the Dark Bow. Fully charged, it beats out the Dark Bow and Rune Crossbow. Only at 2/10 does the Magic Shortbow with Rune Arrows match up to it.

I like to think most people are simply afraid of the initial recharging costs to get it. So was I until I tested it out. The experience from it isn't cheap. Only slightly cheaper than rune arrows. Fortuitously, the bow came along just as I was planning a trip to the Fight Caves.

The last time I attempted it, I had 68 Ranged and hoped I could get it. 70 Ranged passed and went. Now a friend of mine with significantly lower stats got it right so I'll see if I can pull it off via the Power of Jealousy.

I figured if I went all Ranged with a Crystal Bow and Rune Crossbow, I might make it to beat up that pile of rock at the end.

I've also taken to lending my Godsword to people. 30k per hour. It's probably the cheapest out there. I need more junk.

Thought for the day:

The good excel. The great excel even in death.

Of Mizzling the Drizzling



It's boring what with school back.

I procrastinated my way through a science project so this frees up time for RuneScape once more. I'm starting to de-stress.

My 99% on a recent Economics test, 92% on Math and 5% on an Afrikaans have improved my spirits.

The last really is bad.

I'm playing Mobilising Armies. Join "Fast Ma"'s clan chat for...fast Mobilising Armies games. You can get 5 ranks in 20 mintues if things go well. I figure I can get my War Chief's outfit by Saturday.'

Of xTreme Improv



I've run some tests with Irene. The Godsword cost me 20.1 million, it might as well be versatile.

Test 1: Cutting small things.

I started off with a watermelon, diamond, pineapple, orange and cabbage. My theory is that the Bandos Godsword's special attack should be able to effortlessly tear through these ingredients for my stew. The diamond ? Oh, sliced diamond adds texture to any meal.


I dug up some interesting uses for the Godsword.

So I made the cut. I needed a target before using my special attack so a nearby spider kindly err...volunteered.



Quite fun, once done, I brushed the spider's smoking carcass away and examined the results of my experiment and whether I would be required to order takeout tonight.




Results?

Orange - Sliced and diced, devoid of dangerous contaminants. Success!
Watermelon - Neatly carved into 3 equal parts. Success!
Pineapple - Diced, not what I was hoping for. Failure.
Diamond - Turned to flour. At least it looks like flour. Don't breathe this. Failure.
Cabbage - What cabbage?

Fruit salad at best.


Test 2: Slightly larger and smellier things.

The remains of my previous experiment were only enough for a fruit salad so I needed some actual food.

Sushi time.

I took the liberty of preparing a shark, tuna and swordfish for diner. Gutted them and all that. My theory is that the shockwaves from Godsword Special Attack + Piety would neatly slice up these fish.



The spider's wife kindly volunteered for the next test.



I examined ground zero and found nothing.




Results?

Shark - Vanished
Swordfish - Vanished
Tuna - Vanished

Utter failure. I also cracked some tiles. At least the spider family doesn't have to cremate the family member this time.


Test 3: Hot beverages.

I dig mah tea, yo! As a player originating from a country which has had some British influence over the past 100 years, I am required by law to enjoy tea.

I got some water, and planned to boil it with my Godsword. The tea leaves are just there for a size reference.



Some nearby goon assaulted and murdered my test subject, a nephew. So I got the uncle over here. *shwing*



Inconcievable! The massive heat and pressure has warped the carbon structure of the bucket into a bowl! Oh, and the water was boiled.



Results?

TEA!

In conclusion, the abilities of the Godsword are endless. Warping things, making things vanish, cool effects and making tea. It's a warrior's dream!

I'm gonna have to order pizza. Fruit salad and tea are not enough to satisfy my hunger.

Mebbe I should try slicing pizza with my Godsword!

Of Godswords and Their Strengths

I've finally been drawn into this Godsword craze. I can see why it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Allow me to elaborate.

>
It's great for cutting zombies.


It's great for cutting moles.


It's great for trimming weeds and spiders AT THE SAME TIME!


It has all the attack styles so you can cut in different ways !

This sword is really good at cutting things ! And life in general. If the cows complain about their status, begin cutting ! If General Graardor gives you a funny look, make his knees regret the day they were born ! If you need to perform a tonsillectomy, use the Armadyl Godsword special !

AWESOME !

Of a Triumph



I'd like to dedicate this poem to Irene, my sweet, my love, my Godsword.


You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I cannot deny
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why I treasure you my dearest Irene.

You just don't know what you have done for me
You even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love.


The market crashed and all that and I gave in and bought the sword weeks before it hit it's all time low. I coulda gotten it for a few million less but I caved. Her luscious curves, her gleaming spirit and her awesome destructive power called to me.

So yeah. I need mebbe 4 million 'til I can get my Whip, Amulet of Fury and Dragon Sq shield back. But the drop in prices will do well to aid this.

Check the chatbox.


Fun fact: If I had 99 Strength, all possible Strength boosts barring a Salve Amulet or Black Mask, I have just enough of a maximum hit with an Armadyl Godsword special attack to kill myself in one hit.

Of Samus' Reserves



They hype from Mobilsing Armies has died down enough for me to enjoy a game on a Mobilising Armies world, I got my Serjeant rank and now I need the Commander's clothes 'fore I stop and get back to the usual.

Also, Mod Nexus stopped by at Mobilising Armies after the update and said something about a solution to the 26k trick.
