I died... it's true... I don't know if I can continue slayering for a while... it's very depressing... I suppose you want to know what happened. Well, I was taking a little break from slayer, so I decided I might try barrows for fun. The first two runs were successful but I hadn't gotten any armor or weapons from the chest so I wanted to try again. During the third run it started out well, I took down Dharok quickly, but when I got to Karil, problems began to occur. It started out fine, I had to range pray to beat him but my prayer was under control. But when it got reduced by 10, I was down to 3 prayer. I tried to use my Super Restore quickly then make sure my prayer was on range. However this quick combination failed, and my prayer ran out and I hadn't taken a drink of the potion. Karil continued to hit my high (above 10 every time), and I started to panic. I tried to take a drink of a super restore again, but it wasn't working and I failed to get out of the tomb in time. I was dead...

And you're right. This won't be like a 1 week goal. Months, maybe even a year. But I'm going to do it. I'm determined to do this. I'll post every time I get to play. Also keep in mind that the only thing I'll do while playing, is slayer. So wish me luck! (I'll also take pictures of my stats sometimes, just so all the text doesn't bore you to death) This blog is start with Day 1, which is November 26, 2006. I will also sometimes write ahead if I know I won't be able to play a certain day.

I have estimated that on weekends, playing Friday and Saturday, I will gain 50000 experience. During long breaks, such as Holiday break and Spring Break, I will gain 40000 experience every day. If all goes as planned, I should finish my goal by about June 25, 2007, perhaps earlier or later. You may ask why this will take so long; well, with the difficulty of the school I go to, there is hardly any time to play during the weekends, and I can never play during the weekdays.

Well anyway I have to update a whole bunch of stuff which will push back my goal way (I mean way; my previous goals weren't realistic to my school schedule, so I had to revise them) back unfortunately.

I got an awesome new camera for making my claymations, some awesome new DS games (Final Fantasy III and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin), an awesome 1 GB Creative Mp3 player and a dart board. It was awesome! Day 31: No Slayer (On my way to Galena with Dalcyte and other friends for a ski trip!) Day 31 Comments: None Day 32: No Slayer (Skiing in Galena!) Day 32 Comments: None Day 33: No Slayer (Skiing in Galena!) Day 33 Comments: Today at the end of the day when there are less than 50 people out on the slopes we do some crazy things. We wipeout doing weird things such as the copyrighted "Ball" and "Power Slide". However today we decided to do a whole bunch of races down the longest slope, and when I was tucking down a very steep drop, I hit a turn hard (at the time I thought I was fine) and when I tried to go straight again my left ski flew off (I actually can't remember the crash, one of my friends had to tell me what happened afterwards) and I spun around backwards and somehow I got tripped up again and I tumbled a little bit and smashed the back of my head up against the ice. I lost that race. The damage wasn't too severe compared with the speed I was going; I only suffered a minor concussion and was able to ski for a little while the next day. It was scary though. It took about 20 minutes for me to get off the slope because I had to stop from time to time because I was so dizzy. This was probably the worst crash I'd ever had too... kind of ironic because I never crash going down black diamonds (the most difficult slopes), but I had a terrible crash going to a green circle (the easiest slopes).

My private chat will always be on Public so you can PM and arrange a meeting place for the transaction. Please support me in my goal for 85 Slayer! RSN: Benisawesome 85 Slayer Goal Website: Yes, I made a website for my goal. However, due to the censoring of ".tk" sites, I can't just tell you. All it is is "85slayergoal" in the middle. You should be able to figure it out we me having to censor dodge. If you think that I would hack/scam you in any way (you can't even download anything from the site), then don't go. If you don't take my word for it that it's safe, then you don't have to go. I just wanted a site for my goal. Good Drop Pictures and Funny/Weird Pictures: Half Key #2 (Didn't take picture of 1st one :( ) "Zanaris Choir" Dalcyte's 80 Thieving! Go Dalcyte, you loser shrub!!! I was bored, and I was still at the Rogue's den so I decided to level my thieving real quick! Steel Scimitar floating on a stalagmite! Half Key #3 (I was fooling around with bronze dragons. Got a rune long sword too!) Rune Battleaxe Rune Full Helm #1 Rune Full Helm #2 Over the summer I got a great new computer that I have been using most of the time. I used the previous computer a ton and had all of my screenshots and forum signatures that I had used previously. Well today the good computer was occupied so I decided to use the older one, and I was just randomly looking through all the screenshots I had of me when I was below 85 combat. This particular picture is here because it's a signature I made a really long time ago that was too big to use so I just sort of forgot about it. Enjoy. Rune Scimitar #1 Half Key #4 (From Mysterious Box!) Rune Scimitar #2 Half Key #5 Side Quests/Goals: There will be times during this long goal, where I might get bored. To free myself from boredom, I will take up smaller goals or quests to relax a little bit. That's what this section is all about. The Quest for Dragon Platelegs: Well, I've been running a bit low on cash lately, and I felt a good way to get it back would be to get some dragon platelegs. The 2.2 million value of these combined with the 700k I have now, could get me closer to my cherished Verac. I've decided I'm going to kill Bronze Dragons until I get some. Log #1 - December 21, 2006: I killed about 30 of them today with no luck, but fortunately for me I was trying to do fight caves earlier so I have a whole bunch of left over super restores. I can scrounge the money for anti fire potions, so I'll be good for about 10 more trips, which should bring success. I got a Half Key and a Rune Longsword, which isn't bad, but I want better. I'm hoping to get some Dragon Platelegs by at least kill #150. Log #2 - December 22, 2006: I killed about 50 more bronze dragons in the next trip but decided Bronze Dragons were a bust because I wasn't getting any items that had any street value. I've decided to step it up a little. I can kill about 15 Steel dragons with my current supplies per trip, so I'm gonna start killing them. The loot is better as are the chances of getting Dragon Platelegs. Wish me luck for trip #3! The Quest for Full Verac: Log #1 - December 22, 2006: Money: 698k Money Needed: 4.37M So far the plan to get this is to get good drops. Whether it be by Metal Dragons or by my slayer tasks, that's the idea. I'm hoping that with the rest of my materials I will be able to get some Dragon Platelegs from Iron Dragons which will put me very close to my goal. From there I will use the money that I have to buy more Metal Dragon hunting potions and gear, and hopefully get another pair of Dragon Platelegs without losing too much money on supplies. If all goes as planned, I should have one pair of Dragon Platelegs in the next couple of days, and I should get another pair by the end of winter break. If I spend about 500k more on materials I should half enough money in the end.
