2/16/2007 Today's a Friday. What a hectic day it's been. So I come home and sit down and play RS. Anticlimactic, and kinda sad really. But whatever. Whether or not people understand it, this is entertaining for me. And after a week of focusing on schoolwork, I think I need a bit more of entertaining computer games and a bit less of homework. There's a break next week; that's partly why I'm making this. I considered my options. I was thinking of maybe going for full Guthan. Then I decided that wasn't too interesting. Or maybe wasn't too likely. Whatever it was, I ended up settling on trying for 75 slayer in this week to come. That would involve approximately (a bit less than) doubling my current xp, doing approximately four tasks a day. Doable? I dunno. Today started off with the second half of an Aberrants task from the day before. Sometime in the last 50-ish, I realized you could use a Salve ammy. That was funny. Free battlestaff. I got a clue in the middle. Rune plate. Oh well. Then I got iron dragons, and after wasting one prayer potion inventory, Burthorped for Icefiends. Clue scroll. Which wants HAM robe bottoms. Which I threw out. Bleh. Thieving time. And thankfully someone traded me the bottom for practically every other piece. Two black items (long, baxe). Oh well. Black demons. Hey wait! I can't melee those! More Burthorping. Wolves. That I can do. Back to Duradel. 141 Aberrant. I have a love-hate relationship with Aberrants. Great drops, annoying routine, modest xp. And then, WOOT! Mystic Red Bottom! First red mystic drop for me! A few kills later yet another lava! And now it's late and I have classes tomorrow morning (weird out-of school thing). Good night world! 2/17/06 Didn't do much today. Had classes in the morning where they tried to teach me physics. Unfortunately, having taken neither Physics C nor BC Calculus, my understanding was very limited. I was at the CW event with the TET. Great idea, not so great in practice. The problems of CWing with the whole of TipIt began to show up. Higher levels dominated. As did barragers. There wasn't so much room for strategy, you were too busy being one hit by a group of 120s. Whereas I'm used to games in which I'm part of a two person team against another more or less two person team. (For all intents and purposes, I exclude those who sit around and melee each other from a team's member count.) I'm still around 450 tickets. Gonna get 600 eventually enough. Then I went KBD with the SODB. We're all really high level, so we last forever. But the droprates are down, way down. There was only one med this whole trip from about 30 people. And I'm proud to say, I got that drop! And then in Edge I realize my screenshot software wasn't working because I bound it to an improper key. Hilarity ensues. And so now I'm back to Aberrants on task. SODB is taking over the tower soon enough. And take over they did. Alas, that means no spawn for me, so I world hop away. Finished. Got a new task of Fire Giants. 87 ATK! And then forgot my hotkey for screenshot software. Two half key loops. Now on new task of Kalphite. Loop half. Wow. Hellhounds. Maybe tomorrow. 2/18/07 Instead of going on slayer, I decided to take a break and do... barrows?! Meh. Strange me. First run of nothing. Now, my barrows luck is horrible, I've had a dry streak of 100+, but I never really fully tracked. So... Went CW for most of the day. Went on task. Got 87 HP. Missed another screenie. I lose? 2/19/07 Went to hounds again. Clue. Finished. Duradel gives me... Aberrants. This is getting silly. I guess my clue then comes first. 2 pickaxes after a runaround. Going Aberrants yields one lava on the first trip. Met another TipIter who was also SODB. Yay! Wasted the day. Don't even remember how. Kalphite. Infernal Mages. Dagannoth. 88 atk 72 slayer, too tired for screenies. 2/20/07 Finished Dagannoth. Kalphite. Iron Drags. Did a trip. 25 left. Burthorped for Wolves. Aberrants. I get the impression that my blog wouldn't be very different if every word were replaced with 'Aberrant'. 2/21/07 Went barrowing a bit, got a flail and dh plate. Ended the day 600k up with shiny new Guthix blessed hide. 2/22/07 Finished an aberrants task. Got iron drags. Waste of ppots until I got a d skirt! Whee! Mutated zygomites lol. Elves. Burthorpe -> Birds. Black demons. Meleed a bit. Burthorpe -> Crawling Hands. Hellhounds. Steel Dragons -> Goblins 2/23/07 Bloodvelds. Range is slow. Pyrefiends. -> Crawling Hands. Dagannoth. Fire Giants. Steel Dragons -> Cave Crawlers. Greater Demons. Iron Dragons. -> Wolves. 2/24/06 Spent all of today almost on a black demons task. Range can be slow. Iron Dragons -> Goblins. Black demons. I was tired of those. Burthorpe. -> Dogs. Kalphite. Infernal Mages. Iron Dragons -> Banshees. Kalphite. 2/25/06 Aberrants. ><. And calculator says the task is around 140 xp short of getting me 75. 2/26/06 Got 75 slayer finally last night. Late at night, barely had time before I had to sleep sorta thing. The aberrants task was indeed short, and no lamps came to me, so I just got a wolves task, and did it and got 75. I realize this blog has recently become a slayer task log. I would continue that if I could, but my RS finances dictate otherwise. I've been left drained of gp, though I plan to be back slayering by next week. For now, I have purchased three crystal bows that I intend to use at blue dragons. I have also purchased 1k iron ores to make into knives. I am currently smelting.
