    First of all, the weekly Dom-onion Tower update, not too many bosses this week, but I've instead crossed off the need to suffer all handicaps, and killed a large portion of the Special Challenges off. In fact, I only have two left, proper Sunfreet and the Culinaromancer and his buddies. A million journal pieces left to find, a million bosses left to kill and a Pest Queen to vanquish (The only boss I haven't killed, and the requirement for one of the sets of gloves). Here you are.
     

     
    Next was a successful scroll mission. T'was the only decent voyage to take on that day with that adventurer, so I took it up and succeeded. Three pieces left and I can build the Tetsu legs (When I get that sweet, sweet plate I need).
     

     
    And finally, the name-sake of this blog entry, I have finally acquired 90+ stats! Woo! Last of course, was Hunter, my least favourite skill. It looks so fancy with 90+ everything.
     

    (Watch Psych)
     

     
    That's it for this week. Next week we'll be looking at a 98 and a 92, and hopefully some other cool stuff. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    Dominion Tower Update:

    More on that later, but first of all, 92 Ranged. The first aforementioned half-way.
     

     
    Secondly, the second half-way. This scroll is the second piece of the Tetsu legs. Woo.
     

     
    Thirdly, the boring one to go. I've completed the hard Desert tasks, and have a million Dreadnips already. Didn't know they were so easy to get after the initial unlocking.
     

     
    Fourthly, the better one to go, 98 Agility! Actually quite excited about this one. I'd much like to get that last one.
     

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    And here they are! I've got to get back to Black Mirror.
     
    Here's my Dominion Tower stuff, cleared a lot of stuff off the list, and I got another two journal pages.

     
    And some Port stuff. Unlocked the next region and can now get shiny green rocks!

     
    Also scroll pieces.

     
    And finally, a couple of levels.


     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    74: The Dax Wakes.

    By Dax,

    Alternative Title: The World OH GOD I CAN'T MAKE THESE DECISIONS JAGEX HOW DO YOU SO EASILY TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS.
    Alternative Alternative Title: The World o gawd da feels so many feels
     
    [spoilers ahead, folks. Though the way Jagex is treating this quest, they won't be and can't be spoilers for much longer.]
     
    And what an awakening it was. Hands down the best update of the year, which of course, is not a hard achievement to acquire just yet, and I can only hope that it'll be beaten somehow and hopefully on multiple occasions. Truly a great quest, and I enjoyed it so much more than any quest we've had in a long time. In fact, I believe the last quest I truly enjoyed was the Ritual of the Mahjarrat, and that was way back (And much further back than I thought when I looked it up).
     
    Unfortunately, it was very short. the combat was somewhat challenging, but not too difficult to work out (I only died once, and that was when I didn't realise what the Automaton was doing), the puzzle was so-so (After I worked it out, it was very easy), so I was somewhat disappointed in the ways of gameplay, but it made up for its shortcomings in other ways. The real reason this quest was so good was because of the soundtrack and the lore.
     
    First I'll have a little chat about the soundtrack. Amazing stuff. They really go all out for Grandmaster quest soundtracks. I remember While Guthix Sleeps' music being ridiculously good. But this was even better. The battle music really upped the ante (Though I picked the right Guardians for the right rooms, so they were all really easy fights) and made it one hell of a battle. The music in Guthix's old home made me super sad and that was awesome. And that's about it for the soundtrack.
     
    Soundtrack summary: Ridiculously good soundtrack.
     
    I'm a lore guy. Give me a lore-heavy quest and I'll be more than happy. This filled my lore requirement and then some. I've never been toooooo much of a fan of combat. I had a very long Slayer phase, but even then I've jumped around a lot. Even though I've maxed my melees and I'm well on my way to Magic/Ranged. Combat heavy quests have always been a disappointment to me. Lately, I've been staring at The Brink of Extinction, hating its uncompleted status, thanks to the combat. Other quests like Dream Mentor, Desert Treasure and such were horrible moments in the way of my quest cape.
     
    The story was amazing. Just so good. I never expected the death of Guthix until Sliske showed his face. That smile he gives you as he stabs Guthix made me hate him so much, yet love him so much for being such a great villain. I'm kind of glad the Dragonkin took care of Lucien for us, so Sliske could have his moment. A much better villain than Lucien ever was. Lucien would have announced his plan and acted like a great almighty Mahjarrat about it. Sliske just teleports in, kills Guthix and takes off. Leaving the mystery and some of his stockpile of awesome.
     
    When it came to choice time I had to walk out of the room and make a very difficult decision. Azzanadra and Wahisisiisitisrisitel had been such good allies until this point, but the Guardians of Guthix had more of a good point, and I am kinda one of them now. Zilyana had no reasons whatsoever and I didn't consider her option. Saradomin is lame, anyway. I had my walk and decided to side with the Guardians, hoping my Mahjarrat chums would respect my logical decision. Thankfully, they did.
     
    I got a little annoyed at the druids for building a big ol' shrine right in front of Guthix's body. But then I remembered that they weren't talked to like I was. His story was quite sad, and I nearly shed manly tears, but I held them back and honoured the passing god's final wish. Though I remembered him when I lit the lamps and prayed at the shrine for 150K free exp (Sorry Guthix, but free exp!).
     
    I truly can't wait to see what Sliske does with this stuff. Hopefully the story continues in the way it has been, 'cause I am definitely ready for more.
     
    Story summary: Ridiculously good story.
     

     
     
    And for the other stuff this week. Here's the weekly Dominion Tower update. Not too much progress this week, though I got quite lucky and got three journal pages in two low DF chests. Past that, not much movement there.
     

     
    Another port update as well. If only I had the jade to buy them. But my jade will first go into my ships!
     

     
    And finally, the only level of the week.
     

     
    91+ STATS, YO. GET ON MY LEVEL.
     
    Next week, we'll likely have a new 99 for your eyes to feast upon. BET YA WON'T GUESS WHICH ONE.
     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    Huzzah! 99 Agility!



     
    Quite glad to get this one out of the way. Went super quickly, thanks to Skoll boots, penguins and trolls.
     
    And also an update to my Dominion Tower ways, though not much has happened there.

     
    May or may not have another 99 for ya next week. We'll see how it goes. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  6. Dax
    I aimed to have 99 Crafting up and ready to go, and I would have, but some things jumped in the way and I couldn't get it done tonight. I'm 25K exp away, but I can't get it just yet. Plus I have to work early tomorrow and I can't just do it then. Kinda annoying, but it's all good. Also my internet stopped working when I got 98 Crafting. SO I MISSED THE DANG SCREENSHOT. First one I've missed since 80-something Ranged, which I accidentally forgot when I went to grab some food while fighting Vyrewatch once upon a time. On the other hand, I got some other nice levels, so not all bad this week.
     
    First of all, though, I acquired a new island destination in POP. Winds' Home. I really enjoy unlocking things in Ports. I don't care for the armours or whatever that I'm working towards (Though that will be a nice bonus), but I really enjoy seeing more and more of the Archipelago (Which is pretty much the best word ever, too) open up. Also seeing my crew, captains and ships get better with time.

     
    I must take a moment of silence here, though, as this week marked the passing of my favourite captain I've ever had, Be-Ever Humble Song. A brave and noble captain, who gave his life to save the crew members (A couple of Judge of Dice and a Beurocrat were there, so that's pretty good that they didn't die too) aboard. RIP Be-Ever Humble Song. I will try and name my forth ship after your legacy.
     
    Next up this week was a nice little level, one of which I love to see getting up more and more, as there's a hell of a lot of it to go. 94 Dungeoneering! Next level, we'll be seeing 95, and the shiny new red floors, and some shiny new bosses to murder. Quite excited for that.

     
    And finally, halfway! 92 Hunter, which also brings me up to 92+ Stats (Awww yeah). Getting a lot of exp thanks to the Guthixian butterflies. Also, now it has become my skill to dump my exp on, so this'll be going up super fast from now on.

     
    Catch you next time, where you'll definitely have 99 Crafting, ~Dax.

    77: 99 Crafting!

    By Dax,

    Kinda forgot to do my blog yesterday, so I'm probably a bit late, but I have no idea how American time works, so I might still be on Wednesday there. But here's 99 Crafting!
     



     
    Not sure what to do now, but I have access to Warped floors now!
     

     
    And I also did some Port stuff.
     



     
    That's all of Tetsu Legs, and half of the Tetsu helm!
     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  8. Dax
    First, a Dominion Tower update!

    Slayed Sunfreet! Woo! I thought there was a damage cap, so I thought it might have been more difficult, but there isn't and it was reasonably easy, only a couple of deaths due to not knowing the patterns of fire well enough.
     
    Also huzzah! Finally finished the Brink of Extinction. Got stuck on one of the rooms and finally got through it this week. EoC messed me up, I'm still not used to it.

     
    And got 93 Mining!

     
    And 93 Ranged, of course!

     
    Two Dungeoneering levels. I'm powering through these levels with 100k exp a day with daily challenges.
     


     
    And finally, the third quarter of the Tetsu Helm! Not sure what scrolls I'll be going for after this. Probably Seasinger or something. Unless there's a good Scrimshaw to get.

     
    Anyway, that's all for this week. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  9. Dax

    79: The Prancing Gnome.

    By Dax,

    Woo! With a lot of work and annoying Jade voyages, I've finally acquired my fourth and final ship, The Prancing Gnome. She joins the ranks of The Beautiful Nigel, The Monkey Monkey and The Purple Penguin. Quite happy to finally get the fourth. It'll make getting resources and everything so much faster.
     

     
    In other Ports news, I've also acquired another fourth, this time, the fourth and final Tetsu Helm scroll piece. Now, given the plate, I can complete the set. I currently have a nice and neat 50 plate in my reserves. Luckily, both the Whaler and the Biologist have arrived on the past two days, and they've been best friends and wanted to go sailing together.
     

     
    I'll save my plate for the platebody, then the legs, then finally the helm. Scroll efforts will now be place in Seasinger robes. Poor ol' Ranged gets neglected by me, but don't worry, I'll get ya one day, Death Lotus gear.
     
    In other boring news, I did an easy clue I got from a man I accidentally killed. I got nothing of worth, but here's the screenshot.
     

     
    Finally, I'm happy to see this level, 98 Dungeoneering! A delving task a day gets the exp up quick. I can't believe I'm so close to this one. Never thought I'd see the day. I'm excited for sure.
     

     
    Ignore the exp wasting small, c6, solo floor. Heh. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  10. Dax
    Welcome to the first of what I hope to be a three part series. This week, I completed the Missionary's final story voyage and acquired the plate necessary for the Tetsu platebody!
     

     
    I've got 15 plate now, and that's a quarter of the way to the next piece, which won't be for a few more weeks, but I'm eagerly awaiting that. But Dax, I hear you say. The final Missionary voyage? Doesn't that mean you have to be in...
     

     
    The Pincers! Woo! That, as well as opening up a lot of awesome Port stuff, crosses off another Trimming requirement. Woo!
     
    I also began work on Seasinger robes, they'll be my scroll goal (Heh, rhyming) for now. The first piece:
     

     
    And finally, 93 Smithing. Slowly getting closer and closer.
     

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  11. Dax
    This week sorta got out of hand, no idea how it happened, but I got a lot of stuff done, and I'm glad. First thing's first, and the thing from this week I'm most happy about is 99 Dungeoneering. Woo! Slowly working up the tokens to buy the only Prayer (The only reward I need to buy at the moment) I need for Completionist.

     
    Next up, a couple of levels. Happy about both of these, and they both sat around with very little exp to the next level for a long while. First, Magic:
     

     
    Yay Vengeance and Ice Barrage! Next is Fire Surge, also looking forward to that, as I actually use the normal spellbook. Next up was Hunter:
     

     
    Which I'm happy to see steadily rising.
     
    Next up, the Shambling Lair. I thiiink that may be all 'secret' islands unlocked, which is awesome. Hope to see more Oxheads join my crew, got one straight up, but that's it so far.
     

     
    And finally, something I'm super happy about, two more Livid Farm spells. I need to use up my Hati Paws soon, so I've been spending a lot of time at the Livid Farm, acquiring two more spells I'll never use!
     

     

     
    Thanks to Supernatural for this level, my recent TV show watching pursuit.
     
    Going away for a couple of days tomorrow, so there might not be much next week, but still, catch you next time, ~Dax.
  12. Dax

    82: 100.

    By Dax,

    Very little this week. I got this with only three hours left in the week. 100 Dungeoneering! Huzzah!

     
    And the second scroll for the Seasinger Robe Top.

     
    And that's all for this very boring week. Sorry I didn't have any more. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  13. Dax
    Dang TIF going down, made me do two in one. I've been getting a reasonable chunk of work recently, and I've also had a bunch of uni to do as well, so I haven't had much motivation or need to play RS, so I've done quite little (And I should really be finishing up my webpage for an assignment due Friday, but eeeeh). A reasonable chunk of time playing lately has been spent at the Livid Farm, trying to use up my Paws before they lose their power, which is getting very close, and so, I've unlocked yet another spell, and killed off another large portion of what I'm finding to be the most monotonous and un-likeable things about my journey to Completionist.
     

     
    Also been doing a dungeon a day for my daily challenge (130K Dungeoneering exp for 15 minutes at the most each day? Yes please), and so the exp's been stacking up, and here's 101!
     

     
    And with all those dungeons, comes all those tokens, I decided to buy the only prayer I need to buy for Completionist these days, Rapid Renewal, even though I'll never use it.
     

     
    And here come the Ports, lots of stuff here over the past couple of weeks. Finished off the scroll for the Seasinger Robe Top:
     

    [imagine one for the fourth scroll piece here, I didn't think and skipped past it]
     
    And finished one of the sets of Trio Voyages! Woo!
     

     
    Quin is dead, Hubbub, Quin is dead! Not the one I most wanted, but still awesome, and the fifty Chi helped out this little thing:
     

     
    Now we wait for the other Trio to re-appear, I failed my last attempt. :c Anyway, that's all for these two weeks. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  14. Dax
    Thought I'd better get rid of one of the easier Completionist goals, and the most recent addition. 1,000 Charm Sprites. Took me a couple of days, but on the whole, very easy, and a nice chunk of exp.
     

     
    Next up, I bought another thing from Dungeoneering. The Scroll of Efficiency. I plan to get 99 Smithing soon, and if I never do Warbands, I'll save a little with this, and I have a bunch of tokens I'll never use anyway, so, win-win.
     

     
    Finally, another scroll piece.

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  15. Dax
    Yeah, I don't even like the movie that much, I just really like the title.
     
    Little bit of cool stuff this week, like me finally getting Tetsu Legs! Woo!
     

     
    Wait. What's that? I got the helm as well!? Yes I did, Other Dax, yes I did.
     

     
    Full Tetsu is sexy. But Dax, we ask, how did you get that Plate you needed? Simple, this!
     

     
    And finally, on the Ports note, I got another scroll piece:
     

     
    Awesome stuff. I also acquired a few levels, Hunting all those Charm Sprites last week landed me nice and close to a level there, so with lamps and a little more training, I pushed myself to another level, 94!
     

     
    Lastly, but not least importantly, 102 Dungeoneering. 118.5k free exp a day is awesome. I love it.
     

     
    Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  16. Dax
    Well that's two things in one picture. Really happy to see this one fall out of the vine. I'll raise this while continuing to Woodcut. Other than this, I have nothing else to say, really. Although I am hyped about the fact tht I saved $40 today. Meaning I can get both the GTA IV Expansions for PS3 and Final Fantasy XIII. But I am also sad to say that I probably won't buy the second, due to the amount of focus it takes to keep up with those type of games. Although, with only a few more GTA missions, I could probably knock that out in a week of less focused school. (Possible in the holidays in April)
     
    It's sad to say all this. Gaming has been a large part of my life for years, and it's sad to say that i'm going to have to drop a large part of it to get the good marks in school. Hell, I know this isn't even that serious either. I still have Year 12 to go after this. I think I might go clean up this first week's homework. Only a small amount of easy Physics stuff left to go.
     
    Catch you next time. ~Daxter.
  17. Dax
    Skipped a week as I had one thing to show for it, a scroll piece, so I worked hard and got a whole bunch more! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay scroll pieces!






    Now I've got to get the chi to finish my set, and work on getting Death Lotus scroll pieces.
     
    Also got some levels, but they're boring:
     

    Smithing! Yay! Might be on the list for my next 99, but I'll have to mine a lot to bring that up to the level. Not getting one without the other.
     

    Next up, Magic, oh baby, fire surge. Need to head up to da L-F to get dem last spellz, bro.
     

    And finally, Dungeoneering. Gonna get 120 one of these days. Woo!
     
    And that's all. I have an exam to study for. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  18. Dax
    Aww yeah. Finished off Dominion Tower! And you know what that means!
     



     
    And the final Dominion marker, which is cool to see.

     
    Got one other level this week, 94 Mining. Slowly and steadily rising.

     
    And don't you worry, guys, I'm still getting those scroll pieces I know you love:



     
    And that's all for this week, I'm going to sleep. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  19. Dax
    My Raven just grew up, moments before 88 Woodcutting. I think i'll be taking a break and doing some other skills, despite the fact i'm still getting a heap of homework. It hasn't gotten hard yet, though. ;)
     
    EDIT: I also got 79 Crafting an hour and a bit after. :thumbup:
     

  20. Dax
    First and foremost, here I am soloing Nex unarmed. From this kill I acquired no less that 69 Torva Platebodies, all of which I donated to an orphanage.
     
    I'll start up with a nice little level. 104 Dungeoneering. Excellent. 16 to go! Woo!

     
    Next up, I'll give you some scrolls, because I know you love them. First, the final Death Lotus Body Scroll. Aww yeah.
     

     
    And I had some spare Lacquer lying around, so I thought I'd make it into a body.
     

     
    And I'm already on the way to Death Lotus Legs. Already on three of four scrolls, with the fourth on the way, or so I hope.
     



     
    And here it is, the greatest thing that's happened in some time, finally finished Livid Farm.

     
    And some spell unlocks.




     
    And that's it! The final countdown is now. Only skills and Fight Kiln to go. So excited. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  21. Dax
    First of all this week, here I am wielding my brand new Chaotic Staff, which the Orphanage of Torvaed Children donated to me for being so cool. Good thing they're not releasing new higher-level magic gear any time soon! Heh. Hehe. Hmm. Oh well. I'm not gonna be able to afford it anyway, so I don't caaaaare!
     
    Pretty reasonable week this week, got a couple of levels and such, as per usual. Here's a couple for ya:
     

    96 Magic, awesome, slowly getting there. Not sure when I'll do it, but it's going somewhere.
     

    105 Dungeoneering, also steadily raising. I've had a bunch of daily-reset tokens from SoF for ages, so I took on this daily to use them up. On a somewhat related note, I've fought the Hope Devourer three times now and never gotten his music track. What's up with that? I want to delete it from my list.
     
    And for those scroll-piece fans, don't you worry, I've got some:
     

    That's the last one for the Lotus Legs. Awesome.
     

    First of the helm. Also awesome.
     
    And that's it again. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  22. Dax
    First of all, yes, you are.
     
    Less importantly, but still incredibly important, SCROLL PIECES.



     
    That's all for armour piece scrolls, for now. I'll move onto Rocktail soup to use up my spices, then I'll work on scrimshaws.
     
    Used up some chi for these,

     
    And some lacquer for these!

     
    I also got a few levels these past two weeks, but who cares 'bout them?



     
    And that's all. Oh, I also put a bug on your pillow. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
  23. Dax
    And after a long absence, I have returned. One week I had nothing, one week I forgot, and the third, someone destroyed my houses' internet connection so I was without internet for around three days. I didn't play much RS at all over these few weeks, as I'm actually getting a reasonable amount of work these days. I was actually hoping for Divination to come out this week, but I knew that was unlikely. I don't know if I'll have the same reaction for Divination as I have with other new skills, as I'll likely be heading to 99 as soon as I can. Anyway, onto to the small amount of stuff I've done over these few weeks.
     
    First of all, full Seasinger!

    Two of three superior sets complete!
     
    Next up, 107 Dungeoneering, the only level I've gotten. Slowly and surely increasing this one. I'll get 120 one day!

     
    And finally:




     
    That's all of the Rocktail soup scrolls done. I used all 250 spice up and made around 1M or so, now to build that up again over time. Yay!
     
    Didn't know what Scrimshaw to get first, and I remember hearing the Elements one some time once, so I started working on that.


     
    And that's all for now. Catch you next time, ~Dax.

    92: The Dax of Chivalry.

    By Dax,

    'Bout time, Jagex. I needed me some good questin'. And good questin' it was. Amazingly excellent soundtrack, excellent atmosphere, pretty dang good story and a very enjoyable experience.
     

     
    Fairly short, but awesome on the whole. And I got a little lucky with my reward spins and got a nice little sword.
     

     
    Thought after I kept it that I might have changed it for cash and bought a real one, but eh, 2M ain't too much when I have a bunch around anyway. Nice for Fashionscape.
     

     
    Got me a nice shiny Hunter level, too.
     
    And some delicious scroll pieces. Finished the Elements scroll and made a bunch of those scrimshaws, making a nice little sum.
     

     
    And that's all for now, catch you next time, ~Dax.
  25. Dax

    93: Daxination.

    By Dax,

    Ooooo baby. 'Bout time, Jagex. Divination is here, and though it doesn't seem like much so far, we'll see how it goes. It has indeed given me some motivation to play RS, which I haven't had in a long time, though, which is awesome. Gotta get my money's worth. Unfortunately, they released it right in the middle of the week in which my first two proper assignments for this session of uni are due in. So I've been kinda ignoring them for a while, which is kinda bad. And I'm kinda doing that right now, writing this blog entry. Now for my gains for the past week:
     
    [hide=Divination, for 27 variations of the same image, please click here!]



























    [/hide]
     
    Past that, however, I got a Mining level, thanks to BoL increased exp rates on the Mining exp.

     
    Ah, I remember when I got effigies. Finally, of course, scroll pieces, only one left for the full Magic Scrimshaw scroll.
