Of The Lost Monarch

I haven't been playing Runescape much since 2 weeks after my last post. Other games got in the way, Fallout 3. Battlefield 2. Galaxy Online. Exteel. Last Chaos.

Each vying for a place in my limited schedule.

I still log onto Runescape once or twice a day.

In the two weeks that I did actually play, I gained 72 Fletching and...something else.

Stuff I achieved since the last post which I may soon regret: So much.

Of mah lazur

I'd also like to take this opportunity to showcase my 1337 pr1ntscr33n 5k1llz.

No, I don't care if someone else simply took your name and did this for fun, it's hilarious and if my readers are as dumb as I hope they are, they'll believe it's you.

Soooo...nothin'.

Meh, my new school is made of pure win, it's no school. It's a park, 70 well-behaved students coupled with friendly students and 3 kids who play Runescape, it's a dream come true.

Little made it's way to Boombaye, though.

I relish the coming update, some good fun is innit for me. This Soul thing is interesting. More so than Jiant Slayar Monstars. Yay for combat. Now, yay even more for Mobilising Armies.

Stuff I achieved since the last post which I may soon regret: 64 Prayer and something else...

PS: I didn't post that just to make him look bad, that'd be silly willy.

Of Planetary Collisions

I'm hanging out at the Black Dragons with my mind resting on the thought of hunting down Iron and Steel dragons for the Visage. I've got the Saradomin Sword, let's kick it up a notch.

My 99 Attack goal stagnated when I decided to bring down those dragons once more but rest assured, it will come along after 85 Strength shows up.

The fact is, I stopped Visage Hunting at the Iron Dragons due to poor luck, I'm heading back there soon with better stats and more patience this time around. It appears that with a deeper understanding of game mechanics, I can get anything here done. I know much but understand very little. As such, I'm going to put more into this. I have a fine stockpile of cash with which to pull this off. The only problem is choosing a weapon. No whip. Dragon Battleaxe or Dragon Mace.

In other news, I'm unfortunately being transferred to another school. Big shot private school. Do not want.

Stuff I achieved since the last post which I may soon regret: 90 Attack, Lunar Diplomacy, 49 Herblore, 49 Farming after Tears if Guthix.

Of Helios

I just read through my first posts and noticed my first hiscores picture. Here's another one that's more current.



I've looked at the changes over the past year, and I'm suitably impressed. No less than 300 levels in the year, even with a 8 month long hiatus of minimum playtime. Many skill have had their levels doubled over time. You can see Woodcutting taking it's place as a source of income.

Disappointingly, Strength has only ever seen 3 levels in a year. Elegant proof of how much I hate that skill. The most progress stands in non-combat skills. I don't know where or when Runecrafting ever leveled up. Smithing, the skill that started as my favourite which has lost that mantle to Attack, never really made progress. I should take time off to Smith. Prayer would see far more progress if it was cheaper. With approximately 4.3 million coins till 70 Prayer, it's not looking good. Most of my Woodcutting experience over these years has come from Magic Trees and Yew trees, so the money compensates for the few levels.

Even now, I still bow down to the task of money, I had my first Black Mask drop after about hlaf an inventory of monkfish but that could just be the luck.

My only real goals in mind for now are first 90 Attack, then 85 Strength, followed by a one-way trip to 99 Attack. I'm nearing the halfway point. Bandits have unfortunately made themselves a viable choice for experience though the cost of food is phenomenal.

I'm moving towards a Herblore level. And with only 5 songs until the Air Guitar, it's going to be a priority over these next few days. I'll pull off Spirit of Summer tomorrow and then if I could force my Hunter over the 51 mark, I could do Defender of Varrock and finally get the Air Guitar.

Of Seeteufel

Well, after a good 30 days of work, toil and a little crying, I've cobbled together enough for the Saradomin Sword. At the cost of my Whip and a certain Dragon Square.

I've found it to be a good all round weapon in general and it matches well with the skilling outfit.

I signed up with a new 100+ clan by the name of Glory of Saradomin. Great bunch of high rollers. Hell, their entire clan has an activity system, be active in the clan, events are held daily, less activity, greater chance of getting the gem-toed boot.

In a word, I had some great fun with them.

I named my Saradomin Sword Kardiac. A KO with that thing is called Kardiac Arrest. Geddit ?

Special thanks to the penguin spies and the level 60 Summoning they gave me. I named my new pet squirrel Nightbringer.

Stuff I achieved since the last post which I may soon regret: Saradomin Sword, 89 Attack, 60 Construction, 60 Summoning, 60 Crafting, 58 Slayer, 74 Range along with 1 million Cooking and Fishing Experience.

Of a Minor Setback

I was woodcutting earlier, on a PvP world.

Wearing most of the best stuff I owned, including and not limited to Guthan's Body and Skirt, Abyssal Whip, Dragon Square Shield and a pair of Dragon Boots.

Hilarity ensued.

Long story short, I'll never look at PvP world the same way ever again.

So, my mildly impressive 5.7 million was abruptly cut back to 4 million.

Yet in all this, I learned something. That my last 20 or say days with membership went rather well. I amassed the largest amount of money I had ever seen in my own bank. And most of all, I realize that having a good 2 million or so would be a good thing. With only mild cursing and a few less than savoury gestures, I merely bought back all I had lost.

Either way, I also tapped into a near untapped source of great money.

Aviansies.

The ranged experience is phenomenal and the money even more so, with only 2 hours camped out there, I raked in a spectacular 500k in cash. So, I've brought it into consideration as a primary source of money. It's for more dangerous but just as profitable.

And now I'm brought back to wondering: Dragon Platebody and Platelegs or a Saradomin Sword.

I can afford the repairs for my Guthan's but the idea of armour that doesn't need constant management is very tempting. I'll hold out for the Sword right now, the rest comes later.

Of Bucklers

I buckled and lost.

I did capture this poignant scene before going down.



It took every nerve I had not to report the clown and once I realized I didn't report him, I also realized that I had willingly not done the right thing out of fear of retribution once more. Hence, I resigned and will now move on on my own. I will not hunker down to peer pressure once more and will carry on as I please. At many points, in real life and otherwise have I been pulled between what is right and what is socially acceptable. In real life, Right always prevailed and I should care to let Boombaye1 follow this example.


Oh, and to Sam: Use private chat, you got lucky.

Blargh, on the bright side, I hit my first 3.7 million. Somehow, I may have picked up some twisted responsibility and have learned to save my money. So, I may now be able to soldier towards that Saradomin Sword. In a word, I'm also pulled between Saradomin Sword and Dragonfire Shield. The Sword will give me a capacity to finally pull some Strength out but the Dragon Longsword is just as useful for said puporse. A Dragon hatchet is just as tempting.

The censor update isn't something I'm incredibly happy about. Being a teenager myself, I've tossed a few profanities at the twelvth graders on my first day of high school. It's all about context. Yelling out "Suck my ass, noob!" in a conference room is not a very charitable thing to do. There are times and places for cussin'. Runescape is not high on my list of good places to do so.



I find that exposure to swearing may prompt someone to do the same, it's not so much the fact that 9 year-olds don't know the word than they fear punishment for use of the word. Once others catch on, thery realize they may get off clean free with this and carry on to worse things.

After a run-in with Sandwich Lady at the trees, I realized that probably a year ago, I did an experiment which consisted of leaving a baguette in my bank for a month and then examining it afterwards. It's examine info still included the word 'fresh' even after one month made so little sense.

Though leaving my cat in there for 9 months without any attention may be just as baffling.

There is something wrong with this picture. The only hint I'll give you is that I'm the one wearing Guthan's, Whip and Dragon Square.

Stuff I achieved since the last post which I may soon regret: 83 Strength, 80 Defence, 57 Slayer, 73 Ranged, largest amount of money ever seen in my bank account.
