Weirdest thing the last couple of days... I've had two herbs runs that each yielded 52 herbs. Pretty good stroke of luck considering I've only ever broken 50 once before (51 several weeks ago). Say hello to a quick 400k profit! :mrgreen:
EDIT (19 Feb): I happened to have a run with 53 herbs the next day. Haven't broken 50 since, though.
Well, this morning I garnered my very first Fire Cape. :smile: Interestingly, I didn't have trouble staying calm after dying to the mighty Jad five times before this. Losing to him a couple times yesterday put me in an odd spot last night, though--I kept dreaming about prayer switching. And you know what? I was much better at it when I woke up! Must be one of those things which is 90% mental... Got 85 Ranged in the process.
Also achieved 90 Slayer, so looking forward to trying out the Dark Beast, although I'm hoping for more of the Wyrms right now. Three desert tasks and still no focus sight... It'll come. Getting 90 Slayer also brought me 93 Strength and 94 HP with 92 Defense soon to follow.
Also made my first extreme range and magic pots. Boosting to 106 Ranged from 85 is very nice. :smile:
Still got to work up the desire to train Hunter to 80 so then I can get Construction to 80... <_<
EDIT: Found out a little while ago that my Fire Cape has been nerfed to some extent with the Ice Strykewyrm changes coming next week. What's picked my day up now is the fact that I just got a Focus sight from a Desert Wyrm task. "It looks like it'll help my aim..."
Well, since last updated, I've done the following:
Thieving 74-80 (Saturday's task), allowing me to get one step closer to completing the Elite Ardougne Diary Herblore from 84-86 (and I made my first Extreme Attacks and Strengths)
Currently I'm quite frustrated with the way that merchant clans destroy the G.E., making it impossible to buy the Herblore supplies I need to continue advancing. Beginning to think I should get my Hunter, Runecraft, and Agility up as they are the only skills I have that remain below 80. Don't want to be caught off guard by the next quest or elite diary.
Figured I might as well start up a blog here. Not that I expect anyone else to read it; if they do, great, but I mainly just wanted to journal a bit of my avatar's journey to remember it by. I think I'll try to log something here on a weekly basis or so.
Last week's big accomplishment: Full Void Melee and Range sets. I guess I also went from 80-84 Herblore in the last couple of weeks, finishing that last week as well.
This week's accomplishment: Rank 1-303 in Mobilising Armies, as well as imbued rings (Archers', Seers', Berserkers', and dragonstone). I think the onyx ring (i) is a bit overrated at +1 of everything the dragonstone one has to offer, so I'll wait on that and maybe never get it (onyx prices being currently out of control). I've got enough reward credits saved to buy back any of the rings if I lose them.
If you're not me and you read this all the way through, kudos to you! Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop in anytime.
