October 10, 200718 yr Background Two or three years ago, I started playing Runescape and when I did, I did what most people do in their first go. I leveled all of my character's stats evenly, I did quests, and I learned the various skills. After some time however, the game started to become boring to me and I stopped playing. After several months of no play at all, I decided to try Runescape again, but this time with the specific goal of building a pker and learning to pk. I created the character, "viral_wulf" and this blog is intended to track my progress and to share my experiences in hopes of maybe learning a thing or two. Long term goal I am attempting to build a "Zerker Pure" and am following "Craftin Fury's How To Make A Zerker Pure: For Dummies!". [hide=Current combat stats] Strength: 60 Attack: 60 Defense: 45 Prayer: 43 Magic: 80 Range: 80 hps: 71 Combat: 72 [/hide] [hide=How I leveled magic] lvl 1-25: I cast the highest strike spell available. lvl 25-55: I cast the highest teleport available. lvl 55-80: high alchemy Alching from 55 to 80 took approximately 30k alchs. I bought supplies and traded them for magic longbows. I chose magic longs in particular because I lost a lot less money than I would have doing any other item that I could think of. These are the prices that I paid: magic log: 1100 bowstring: 150 nature: 290 total cost of supplies: 1535 alch value of magic long: 1536 [/hide] [hide=How I leveled range] lvl 1-15: chickens with bronze arrows lvl 15-40: cows with bronze arrows lvl 40-60: hobgoblins with bronze arrows lvl 60-80: king lathas ogres with bronze arrows I started with chickens and stayed there until I could hit them reasonably often and then moved on to cows. I killed the cows near the crafting guild because this place is empty compared to the cow area across from lumby. When I reached 40 range, I started killing the hobgloblins on "hobgoblin isle" near the crafting guild. The hobgoblins were easy to hit at my level and nobody is ever there so there is always a target to shoot at. I obviously didn't pick up my arrows, but I did telegrab all drops that were worth more than the cost of a law. At around level 60, someone walked by and mentioned the ogres at king lathas training ground. I had heard of them, but had never tried them so I decided to give them a shot. I had to do plague city and then biohazard, but using guides, these quests are very easy to complete. With the quests done, I gave the ogres a try and thank goodness for that. There are plenty of ogres at the training ground, they have lots of hit points and very low defense, and because they are in a cage, you can get very close to them. This means less "air time" for arrows than the hobgoblins. [/hide] [hide=How I leveled Attack and Strength] I've been leveling attack and strength by doing slayer tasks and I always wear a black mask. [/hide] [hide=How I leveled Prayer and Defense] I ectoed dragon bones for 43 prayer and obtained the rest of the experience in both stats by doing various quests. [/hide] [hide=Skills] I will be leveling strength to 70 and then heading to the warrior's guild to collect a rune defender. [/hide] [hide=Quests] I am doing all of the quests mentioned in "Craftin Fury's How To Make A Zerker Pure: For Dummies!" plus some extras. *The Great Brain Robbery is not listed below, I don't think I'm going to do it. **I did all f2p quests whether they are listed below or not. I did this because they are easy and they are frequently requirements for other quests. Big Chompy Bird Hunting Biohazard (complete) Black Knights Fortress (complete) Cooks Assistant (complete) Death Plateau Demon Slayer (complete) Desert Treasure Digsite Quest (complete) Dragon Slayer (complete) Druidic Ritual (complete) Family Crest (complete) Fishing Contest (complete) Fremennik Trials (complete) Gertrudes Cat (complete) Ghosts Ahoy (complete) Goblin Diplomacy (complete) Golem Grand Tree (complete) Heroes Quest (complete) Holy Grail (complete) In Aid of the Myreque (complete) In Search of the Myreque (complete) Jungle Potion (complete) Legends Lost City (complete) Lost Tribe Lunar Diplomacy Making History Merlin's Crystal (complete) Monkey Madness (complete) Mountain Daughter Murder Mystery Nature Spirit (complete) Olaf's Quest (complete) Plague City (complete) Priest In Peril (complete) Rag and bone man Recipe for Disaster Recruitment Drive Restless Ghost (complete) Rum Deal Rune Mysteries (complete) Sea Slug Shadow of the Storm Shield of Arrav (complete) Shilo Village (complete) Slug Menace Spirits Of The Elid Swans Song Temple of Ikov Tourist Trap Tree Gnome Village (complete) Troll Stronghold Underground Pass Wanted! Waterfall (complete) Witch's House [/hide] [hide=Daily log] 10/08/07: Leveled mining to 50 for Hero's Quest (complete) 10/09/07: Did jungle potion and shilo village quest and then leveled fishing to 45 for Hero's Quest req (need 50+fishing pot) 10/10/07: Did shield of Arrav. Leveled fishing to 50. Leveled cooking from 25 to 50 at the Rogue's Den cooking the trout and salmon I fished. Bought 2k coal to go with the iron I mined on 10/08 and then leveled smithing from 31 to 35 by making steel bars in Port P. 10/11/07: Continued to make steel bars until I was down to 1k coal. Went to varrack and made steel arrowheads until I could make steel knives. Made knives until I reached 40 smithing. Went back to shilo and leveled fishing to just shy of 53. 10/12/07: Got 53 fishing and then went back to the Rogue's Den and cooked the fish that I had caught until I reached 53 cooking. I know have all of the skill requirements for The Heroes' Quest as well as The Family Crest. I killed soldiers in Burthorpe for a while hoping to get a mithril bar drop to use for In Aid of Myreque and ended up leveling my attack by 1 or 2. Oops, just noticed that I still need to meet the 25 herblore requirement for Heroes' Quest. I don't think I have that yet, but it should only take a few minutes to get. Update: Identified a bunch of herbs, killed some red spiders for eggs, made some stat restores and then made some strength pots for 25 herblore. Completed Family Crest and Heroes' Quest. 10/13/07: Im going to do slayer for a while to train my attack. Gained a slayer level or two and several attack levels today. 10/14/07: I completely Ernest the Chicken, Pirate's Rum, and the f2p Al Kharid quest (I forget the name). All f2p quests are now complete. 10/15/07: I did multiple slayer tasks to level my attack. My current goal is to reach 60 attack, do monkey madness, and then train my strength to at least 70. Once I have 60 attack and 70 strength, I'll get a rune defender. 10/16/07: I reached 60 attack while doing a slayer task. After I finished the task, I started Monkey Madness. 10/18/07: Completed Monkey Madness. I did not talk to Daero after finishing the quest so I have plenty of wiggle room when it comes to defense. 10/25/07: I completed In Aid of Myreque and Animal Magnetism. My defense is now 45. [/hide]
