Here it is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry I missed most 99 messages :( . the lamp I used had an extra screen to go through and I also forgot to flip back to skills inventory (I show skill inventory when I get a level)

 

 

 

Intersting fact: The rc cape message is done in two parts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally the emote (with a crowd):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, thank you everyone who came, it was a really good party and much bigger than my last one. And so I am now the 379th person to get to 99 rc :

 

 

 

So now for some background:

 

 

 

This is it.. 99 rc through the abyss. I'd love to say all through the abyss but unfortunately, I used the law company at times so it's more like 70% through the abyss. Still, that's millions of nature runes made and I'm proud of it.

 

 

 

I've been working on this project ever since I got back from summer break and I'm proud to say that I did it! For 10 weeks I crafted over 1 million nature runes to get from 94 to 99 and here it is at last.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The levelups during this goal:

 

 

 

95 rc:

 

 

 

 

 

 

96 rc:

 

 

 

 

 

 

97 rc:

 

 

 

 

 

 

98 rc:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My quest for the rc cape, week by week:

 

 

 

The first step in this project was to get all the ess needed (which was A LOT). I took a shot of my entire screen, just to show you what my setup looked like

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I took a shot each week (with a few missing)

 

 

 

so after the second week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the third week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the fourth week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the fifth week:

 

 

 

Missing... sorry.. and it's too bad, it's when I was holding over 500k nats too.... ah well.

 

 

 

after the sixth week:

 

 

 

Notice what starts to appear :

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the seventh week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the eighth week:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ninth is missing and I didn't take a picture of the tenth because it was a shorter week.

 

 

 

Throughout the entire project I stayed in edgeville, except for some small errants like changing to ancients for edgeville home teleport. I had to constantly resist the temptation to try out GWD or any of the many updates during my project which was really hard.

 

 

 

My quest for a Green phat

 

 

 

For so long I have wanted a green phat, it always seemed to escape my grasp. So i decided to go for it now, using the 300m (minus the cost of the ess) to get it.

 

 

 

Unfortunately something unforeseen happened. GWD happened and all the partyhats jumped by about 30 mill meaning that I ended up racing to get the partyhats asap. It was so frustrating seeing them draw farther and farther away from me. But despite everything I got...

 

 

 

first a purple:

 

 

 

 

 

 

then a yellow:

 

 

 

 

 

 

and finally the green:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note that ALL of the money there is money that I got from rcing. Even with 1 mill per hour it was hard as hell to get but I succeeded.

 

 

 

Well there you have it. I considered it an endurance challenge or a way for me to test my limits and to fulfill goals that I had wanted to achieve for a long time. A lot of people ask me "how do you sit for hours doing something so boring"? Well, my friends, there are some tricks to it and I explain these tricks in the guide that I wrote. You could say that it's thanks to those tips that I am here today to announce this achievement.

 

 

 

One of the funniest moments was while selling the nats. I tried boosting the price after the shop update and so I ended up with a bunch of comments along the lines of "Haha, you're stuck with them, I got my nats from an honest runecrafter". :XD: The joke is on THEM because I had crafted all these nats.

 

 

 

Extra stuff:

 

 

 

Now this is a bit special. I like to randomly kill the imp in edgeville at times, but when I saw this I couldn't believe my eyes :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You know you rc too much when you get an entire agility level by walking through the shortcut :XD: Tripsis pulled the same stunt as well a few months ago

 

 

 

 

 

 

This happened by accident, but it just shows how my rcing became such a habit. I actually went as far as clicking on the alter and only realized after the message said "you do not have any pure ess to bind into nature runes"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now is probably the most failed attempt at an rc pk ever. Yes I died but I dropped pouches and figured I'd try and drop gory as well. Seems like he took the bait and had already left so I got almost everything back (he took dueling ring i think). I've been pked a lot during this project, but I've never had to replace pouches and this is the only time that the trick with dropping the glory actually worked.

 

 

 

Closing words

 

 

 

There are loads of people to thank.

 

 

 

First of all, everyone at gof. They were all there to support me.... such an amazingly awesome clan!

 

 

 

second, people at supreme skillers. Such a warm welcome, and several of them have supported me by watching my progress

 

 

 

The 2 Oracle, a great friend of mine and an amazing skiller. He showed me that it was possible to get the rc cape via the abyss and his collection of 99 is very impressive.

 

 

 

Elemelement, Gahaha, Hazezor, Caim 01 and apcrump for all rcing along side of me. You guys all rule!

 

 

 

Arvid aka R weed aka weedy. This guy went after countless abyssal pkers during the trip. He is awesome for defending rcers. Way to go!

 

 

 

Smartik1, for giving me tones of furs for capes. You wouldn't believe how many of those capes get taken by pkers! and for helping me kill kbd (which lead to me getting the head of the kbd!!!)

 

 

 

Aquriez, for nominating me in AotM :

 

 

 

To everyone who wants to come to the party! Thankyou, let's make it a huge success and all the countless people that were watching my progress this whole time, I'm really touched to see that people care :

 

 

 

I will keep going farther and farther with my goals. Reaching new 99s and such. Right now, my goal is to do dag kings and godwars dungeon until I have enough money to get the 3rd age mage; the final part of my dream outfit! I also want some higher range/mage/prayer/hp and all for the sake of more monster hunting. It's gonna be fun 8-)

Zomg i'm so coming.

Holy cheeseywotsits! If i remember i am definitely coming. This goal deserves more than 100+ players

Really, really amazing achievement, surely something i couldn't have done, i can't even rc for more than 2 hours at abyss without taking a two month break from runescape, not even sure i have the determination to get 99 via ZMI, so massive respect on achieving both of your goals, congrats.

Gratz so much!

very nice i saw you were almost 98 a few days ago, how i would love to rc endlessly but i can't :P

omg nice 99!Gratz

i'll probabloy be coming, grats!!

what's the pouch trick?

 

 

 

I was rc pk'd about 20 minutes ago, lost all my pouches.. -.-

 

 

 

Good job though, I'm awfully jealous! :wink:

Wow Nice! :shock:

 

 

 

Teach me to be like you!

Thanks all of you who came to the party :thumbsup: and sorry for those who couldn't make it :( . That was a huge success and I'll post the pictures up in a bit. :

 

 

 

HOLY CRAP I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!!

 

 

 

I made it for the 4th of november to celebrate another important event, my 3 year mark of runescape. Yep, 3 years ago I was bored on the internet and stumbled on this game that friends had talked about, I tried it out and here I am :mrgreen:

 

 

 

what's the pouch trick?

 

 

 

I was rc pk'd about 20 minutes ago, lost all my pouches.. ugh

 

 

 

Good job though, I'm awfully jealous

 

 

 

when you get entangled and then tbed, just assume you'll die and drop all pouches (in order of largest to smallest). Then when you get killed, run back and pick them up. I've actually ended up dropping them and miraculously making it into the abyss where I break a home tele, and get back to edgeville asap.

 

 

 

Make sure it's largest to smallest, once due to lagg I only was able to drop giant, large and medium however I talked to the dark mage and got the small one back (yes, even when the others were in my inventory).

From this trip in particular I learned how important self-confidence is and how strongly it can impact your goals. I did 99 rc feeling very confident and it now seems like just the other day that I got back from vacation with this goal in mind

Dang, I had to get off RS like 2 minutes before the party, sorry I couldn't be there.

10/10 for everything, that is awesome!
