The Runar

*shakes voodoo pole* I knew this would happen... *enables anti-voodoo field*

204 Zulrahs killed without rare drops. I only take a few sharks (and the rest monkfish) now so I don't use too many sharks. Because the game is still lagging (could be my parents' crap internet though), I decided to do some non-combats now. I have so many logs and battlestaves that I'll get over 10m by alching them all, but I have to make 7k nature runes, 7k bowstrings and get 85 fletching first. I started my skill grind by using lower level herbs to get 75 herblore. Then I decided to get a coal bag to speed up smelting. Got 61-65 mining too :) I actually have over 13k coal in my bank now :o I guess I could mine a few thousand iron ore to get ~70 smithing and make a huge pile of steel darts. They will be really useful once I get a blowpipe.

I live in Finland and speak Finnish. The results are... interesting. Our top three guesses for your English dialect: 1. New Zealandish 2. South African 3. Australian Our top three guesses for your native (first) language: 1. English 2. Finnish 3. Romanian

ftfy >myrself Anyway, this is how you don't play RS:

I have a working microphone now! There's some static noise though - I managed to reduce it a little, but not completely. I'll try playing around with the equalizer later to see if that does anything. Stream suggestions are welcome :P

120 Zulr --- Connection lost. Please wait --- Unable to write message. Forum server offline.

Pro tier Zulrah gear has been obtained! Time to get some drops!

I grinded Pest Control for 10 hours straight to get full void. I'll get the mage helm soon too - it's great for Zulrah. Got 97 range and 1700 total while getting void :) 100 Zulrahs killed! Still no rare drops, though I've received 5 elite clues which are 1/75 :(

I'm going to get a fire cape on my ultimate ironman ASAP. I believe the current lowest level cape is level 57 (first ultimate to get cape actually, he also had 1 def). I'm not sure if there are any normal ironman who've done it at a lower level (Rendi tried level 40, but dced). Because it will probably take me about 4-6 hours to kill all the monsters, I'll have to pray flick pretty much everything. I did a test run on Old Runar and actually managed to do just that despite the current server issues. I only used 5 pray pots with +8 prayer bonus. My plan is the following: collect herbs for 37 herblore from Sorceress's Garden (I'll boost the last level with greenman's ale)get 40-43 prayer (mostly from ectofuntus)get 50 range for hunter's crossbow (better than bone cbow)collect ~5000 kebbit bolts (just to be safe)die at kill Jadreceive cape

Great news: after two years I finally managed to stream properly on Linux, sounds and all :D You can see here how bad I am at Zulrah (skip to 4:00). Expect more streams in the future. Unfortunately my computer's mic input is broken so I can't use a mic even if I wanted to. I'm getting a new computer in a few weeks though, so maybe then I'll be able to do that. I got an easy clue from Big Mo today and the reward was actually very good: my third armadyl page :) This clue was from Zulrah. That's a black d'hide body(t).

:o

Two old friends made ironman accounts so I decided to show them how a pro does it :shades: The game has been quite unstable for the last few days so I'll take a break from combat and do something safer. Currently I'm collecting herbs from sorceress's garden. Slowly getting my farming level up too :)

Some more progress. I need to ectogrind 80 dragon bones for 43 prayer, so that's five trips to blue dragons. I'll check if bone crossbow works better than maple shortbow + bronze arrows :P

Got Ava's attractor on ultimate. No more picking up arrows from the ground :D I have 34 prayer after Holy Grail, so I still need 9 levels for protect from melee. I may just kill blue dragons (I really don't want to go to wildy for greens) and ectogrind the bones.

B2B musketeer hats? :o --- Does anyone still remember the ultimate ironman that I started a few months ago? I decided to start playing on it again. Got a mith axe after only 6 green dragon kills, but it still took me half an hour to kill that many at 30 range :s I also got ardy cloak for the unlimited teleports to Ardougne. Medium tasks would be great for daily pure ess but there are some difficult requirements like a mithril grapple :(

You can buy it from Big Mo who moves to a different place every day. He's not in RS3. Today's daily clue was junk, but the first Zulrah kill gave me another one. This time I actually got a nice reward :o The hat is a musketeer hat and it's worth 800k. It looks awesome too :)

It's a pretty fun boss now that I'm not dying constantly. Quite similar to QBD in RS3 actually, though I stopped dying at QBD much faster :P

50 Zulrahs killed! Still no unique drops :(

28 Zulrahs killed, no unique drops yet. I'd say this is the best drop so far.

Quite a lot has happened since the last update, so I guess it's time to... update... So this month you can buy a clue scroll daily for 50 gp, but it's random which level you get. So far I've gotten mostly mediums. This is the best reward so far. Today I actually got an elite but I had to stop here :( I fished 1.7k sharks and over 2k monkfish in just a few days and I've been using them for bosses. This is the best drop I've received from Venenatis yet: I've also gotten 50 limpwurt roots three times, so I guess I don't have to kill cockatrices for them. Last night I decided to try Zulrah once more. At first it didn't go too well... ... but now I'm actually starting to get kills! No unique drops yet, but I got an elite clue. The reward wasn't too good, but at least I finally got some Tai Bwo Wannai teleports.

Right now I'm on my ancient netbook for a few days so I can't do much except AFK skilling. I decided to get some food for bossing. I should get some monkfish too because I only have 1k total raw + cooked :/ IRL I'm almost done with my second year at university. Only a few more lectures and a linear algebra exam left until summer :)

My first melee only fire cape attempt. It got very exciting when I ran out of food with 50hp left on wave 60. (no sounds/music because I'm lazy) I'm an idiot for not using Verac's -_-

Where are the good drops :(

Second set finished after 397 chests! My first full set was Dharok's after 284 chests. Next chest was less lucky :( The coif is worse than archer helm. Only five more items and I'll have every Barrows item :D The only ones I want are Guthan's body and Karil's skirt though. | head | body | legs |weapon| --------+------+------+------+------+ Ahrim | 1 | 2 | 5 | 0 | Dharok | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 | Guthan | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | Karil | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | Torag | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Verac | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

Finally got the last zammy page :D Full set of pages in bank. I've had the guthix pages for months but I had already taken the zammy book for prayer bonus so I couldn't get another book :(
