November 23, 200817 yr MOD: CAN YOU MOVE THIS TO BLOGS? thanks :-) Soo... I oringally made this topic cause I was getting 99 magic ranged and hp. I made this topic for "rate this", but it turned to be more of a blog so I got it moved here. Atm, I'm still studying for my exams (last one) and then I'll be skiing for a week. After that, expect an update every now and then. However, I'm not planning to add every small lvl I'm getting :-). Just the bigger goals or cooler drops/happenings/whatever. FYI, I've been playing since santa's came out (RSC). I remember buying one for 60k, which was like 1/3 of all my cash. Since then I've been playing on and off. As you can see, I hate grinding skills, that's why you dont see me with any 99s yet. However, after 5 years the moment is nearly there. [hide=More about me (as a player)]Ever since I played, I've always had this taste for money. It isnt as bad that I stood in W1 all day to merch, but still. I hate wasting cash. A good example is my crafting training. I had 80 crafting and wanted 85. In stead of doing the easy way out with hides, I got interested in Battle Staves. If one would buy his orbs low enough, he could even gain a profit while crafting. The only problem was the GE trading limit. You can only buy 100 staves every 4 hours. But TBH, that wasnt a problem for me. GE is automatically, so as long as I made sure I'd have an offer in all day, I'd slowly gather enough staves. (664 a day at 100 xp each is 66.4k xp a day). The limit also made it possible to buy well under the mid price, since you can afford "waiting" for good deals. This was going so well, I decided to shoot for 90, which came like a month later. For that, I used air orbs though. (water orbs had risen quite a bit). Another example is that I buy my battle staves from zaff everyday, and always have money in my kingdom. Also, I do a bit of GE merchanting here and there. I've had my successes (like a 5M profit overnight), but also my failures (bought sara bracers at their peak, refused to sell when they crashed, waiting, waiting waiting, getting sick of waiting, selling for 30M loss, then noticing how it's slowly climbin up again...). During my first year of members (pre battlestaves from Zaff though and pre GE-merhcing) I somehow made 70M (I quit for few months and sold out my bank, upgraded purple to red). I didnt do GWD, or DKs a lot. I barrowed every now and then, but most of it is probably cause of my "greedy" playing style". Before 88 summoning or 99 ranged, I've never made any huge investments on skills (besides 80 smith (f2p long time ago), 80 prayer). I think I nearly broke even for 80 herblore (Unids), or at least did it this way the loss wasnt very noticable. As an example of my taste for perfecting training methods, I'll show you how I'm lvling ranged. 1-88 has been pretty simple. 1-80 was on f2p, doing chickens, cows, goblins, giants, lesser demons, moss giants. 80-88 was on p2p ranging various slayer tasks, doing a bit of boss hunting, ranging tzhaars, ... Nothing serious so far. After 88 I chinned to 90 which was very short journey. For 99 however, I'd need to buy myself a lot of chins. So I went investigating, seeing what is best. Void>armadyl was pretty obvious. After that I did some testing. How much pray pots, how much xp per hour, how to get max xp (dropping bones every now and then etc). I came out that grey chins were actually better than red chins, unless I can make more than 2.5M in 3 hours. Even red chinning, and doing aviansies is worse than grey chinning. However, during that testing I lvled like 91-96 ranged, mostly with red chins. I did an abby demon camping trip (1 whip) and an aviansie trip to make up for the costs though. So 96-99 will probably be with grey chins, even though I cant promise anything. If someone gets impatient... (FYI, grey chins = 262k an hour, red chins 325k an hour, extra details might follow somewhere else).[/hide] I have made seperate Hide tags for the skills I'm maxing. I will try to upload all the pictures I find, so you can get a good image of how I lvled. Note how there is sometimes several years between the pictures. Expect this to be updated every now and then if I find some new pictures on other computers. Enjoy. [hide=Magic]Here I will post my magic pictures seperately. All the way from cursing on f2p, crumble undead on f2p to barrows, DK'ing, alching, bolt enchanting, bursting on p2p. 75 Magic 85 Magic 90 Magic 94 Magic 95 Magic 96 Magic 97 Magic, Still at rock lobs. Missed 98 picture, or might be on other PC. Anyway, after 97 magic I got enough charms for 89 summoning. I did 97-99 by bolt enchanting, which I would suggest anyone to do it. It's more clicking, but it's nearly double as fast as alching, and sometimes you make profit. (at one point I was making 800k an hour cause diamond bolts (e) were going up and I already had a big supply of unenchanted bolts). EDIT: Just found the 98 magic picture. It was again at rock lobsters, however, the majority of the xp for 97-98 came from enchanting. I did one last bursting trip to gather the remaining charms for 89-90 summoning. [/hide] [hide=Ranged]Here I will post my ranged pictures seperately The ultimate ranging outfit, or not? I bought this and used it once for camping at abby demons and sold it again. It's good, but void owns it in most cases. 70 Ranged in f2p. The big boys are at the lessers, huh. I got 80 ranged still in f2p, but I cant find it. 85 Ranged. 90 Ranged. Chinning was going SO fast I missed the lvlup screen... 95 Ranged. Circus does own for free quick xp :o. [/hide] [hide=Hitpoints]Here I will post my hitpoints pictures seperately. 70 Hitpoints. 80 Hitpoints. 90 Hitpoints. 95 Hitpoints. 96 Hitpoints and 125 combat. Hell yeah. 98 Hitpoints. [/hide] [hide=Other Skills]Here I will post everything else. Highscore pics, total lvls, seperate achievements, ... My oldest highscores. Check the crafting Rank. And crafting now... How to train crafting with profit. Staves sell for 9080 each. Now the oldies. 1000 total on f2p. Stats before I went p2p. High scores a few months before it. Check how nice they all are :o. (rounded off). (relatively) Recent ones. The goal I'm probably the most proud of (well, rank-wise, it's my best stat too). As a surprise, I also got 126 combat, once a very special lvl. Check the total lvl too! Rounding off the stats, you know the drill... Gets me a pretty good rank too! Another combat-raising raised to a pretty decent lvl. A lot of people hate this skill. I just LOVE it. I mean, who doesnt want to gain xp AND money while he is asleep or playing runescape at the other part of the RS world. I stopped training it after 85 though, cause of my love of rounded off stats. And here we have a very common goal, yet IMO not that easy to get. Luckily training this skill can hardly be called grinding. Next to farming and of course the combat stats perhaps the skill I enjoyed lvling the most. Abby demons here I come! Some background on the lvl: Upon reaching 83 slayer, I also reached 90 in all my melee stats. As you have probably noticed, I'm obsessed with rounded off stats. That's why getting 85 just through melees wanst an option, since it would put me at 91-92 melees, meaning I would have to get 95, which would in turn get me like 91 slayer or whatever. So I started spending my penguin pts on slayer in stead of summoning (which wasnt 90 yet either). Also every exam book would go to slayer. The jade vine was also my daily routine. I did finish a few more tasks since most of them were cannonable, and it didnt take that long or 85 was there. Putting pts on slayer in stead of summoning has it's whole story too. I wont elaborate too much on it, but it came down to this: Money-wise it was better to put the pts on summoning and gain my charms + slayer lvls through melee's, getting the "lost" magic xp through enchanting or alching or ... . Time wise this was worse though and I would loose out on a lot of hp xp too. So pts on slayer it was. The actual picture. Here finally another total lvl picture, and a pretty nice one I'd say! 2000 skill total, woop woop! A tipiter with VERY similar stats. [/hide] [hide=Combat]SGS ownage at slayer task. Here another one. It's not too special considering I've hit 58 with it before, but I like the scenery. 65 with AGS at barrows Highest I've hit with a whip. Whip + Geyser Titan = Ownage. Theorically, this could have been a bit higher (21 + 46) but I still like it. 50 on mith drags After compfreak explained me how the Blitz DDS combo worked, I went to try it out. Best result so far: noob instant KO. That's how you Chin! (note: My inventory has changed pretty much since then. I bring a few more ranged pots, a super anti, tortoise and geyser titan pouches, ... The picture just has A LOT of monkeys, and I found a nice 3x3 square :-)). Pwnage with full void and Broad bolts. EDIT: CHECK OUT HOW MANY UNICORN SCROLLS THERE ARE! WHAT A COINCIDENCE. (seriously, I just noticed it). [/hide] [hide=Bank pictures, money things]My oldest bank picture. (f2p) First phat. Bought it for around 8M. I have been very stupid and sold it a few months later for 11M. In the month that followed, it rocketted up to 20M+. A huge regret in my RS career. However, like a year later I invested around 25M in masks (purple was 35M). In the end, the value of the masks exceeded the value of a purple, so I bought purple again. Back in the time, I helped Duke Freedom on an extremely good phat deal (of a noob who found it from someone who died). This is what I got as a share. How much better is RS without trade limits... After like a year of p2p, I quit for a few months and upgraded my purple to red. Money BEFORE I bought red. It's the most Cash I ever had. Atm I dont have a partyhat, but my cash is in the form of various items, GE offers etc... My most recent bank picture (July 2007). (yes it's old, I dont take a lot of them since I got members). Atm, my net worth is around 300M. Recently when phats seemed to go up again. I bought a green. I kept it for like 1 day, then upgraded to red. Which I sold the same day (GE Med). I had a bad feeling about them. And guess what, they didnt shoot up... Green phat outfit. Red phat outfit. A yellow to finish my "phat collection" (well, I dont have them all, but I've owned them all up to red). Another outfit, when I had my first GS. Probably even rarer than getting a chain from dusties! :o. Had bought the phat in June the year before for 207M. It shot up during the summer vacation, up to 270 (should have sold then!) and slowly got back down to 207, mainly cause of the removal of pking. [/hide] [hide=Drops]Sceptre drop This one has some value to me too. I had killed the KBD pretty often, yet never received any heads. Then suddenly, when trying out my new lava titan's tele, this one pops up. The funny thing is I got another one the trip after that :o. Left half, a pretty uncommon drop. Had one more after this, but cant really remember where it was. Terrorbirds arent that bad. A lucky fire giant trip. After I got 83 slayer, I decided to try my luck at mages. Got 90 defence in that trip too. Pretty good result :o. Long rock lobster trip. Aviansie trip of 4 unicorns (almost 4H). (profit about 1.9M). So I went to try out my new unicorn, and gain some mage xp in the mean time... A milestone, my first abby whip drop. I got it, as you can see, by range camping with my unicorn and freshly bought full arma. [/hide] [hide=Miscellanious]Tears of guthix record. Fire cape (2nd try). Note how I got Ko'ed by Jad, right as I koed him. Btw, I lost the cape a few months later and obtained it again after 2 tries. Here is the picture of me reobtaining it (second try again). Notice how I'm NOT on full health, unlike the other picture. This is cause I didnt get killed, unlike the other picture! 3 VERY good circus scores. Obtained 3 ringmaster pieces at once. Not too shabby I'd say. (note: I find this "very" good cause my previous visits had all failed, cause of me trying to please the public. I only just found out about the "do high lvl moves" trick.)
