warrior5024 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 140m spent. 200k oak planks. 98 Levels. 72 hours of training. 30 Rooms. 6m in Butler fees. 2 Glorious Crystal Thrones. 1 Amazing Goal. Well, I have quiet a story. As some of you remember, or care about, I managed a solo Armadyl Hilt back when they were 141m, the day of the trade restrictions. It changed my RS career. With that money, I went from 64-70 construction, so I could build a gilded alter. Well, later, I had 60m left over from that hilt, and no idea what to do with it. I decided to achieve 90 Construction, an a crystal throne. I found the skill very enjoyable, and quickly fell in love with designing, gathering materials, and building my house into a mansion. Once I reached my goal of 90, I deiced not to train it again: I thought I had achieved my goal. Nearly a year later, I remember the skill. How much fun I had with it, and how much I loved it. I thought to myself, "For a joke, lets see how much it would cost." 55m for the planks, and even more for butler fees. Bloody hell, why not? I fired up the old Kree'arra solo'ing techniques, and was off to attempt to raise 60m. I managed to raise 10m to buy 92 before becoming broke again. There was no way in hell I could mine 60m worth of runite, so down into the dungeon I went. I quickly realized how costly trips were. I was using 220k worth of supplies atleast, for only 4-6 kills, and the odds of a drop were miniscule. I looked around the rest of the world, trying to find a viable combat option for money. The answer came in the form of Tormented Demons. I had to raise some 31 QP, but I was down the in lair where the Stone once was, and slaying the Demons. After losing my Void melee and range, I find my rhythm for the killing, and find myself with a Claw drop. Celebrate! 96 Construction banked! Training is tedious, but fast. Still, I needed a break, so I went back down to TD's. Low-and-behold, after a handful of kills, I am granted with my second Claws. There's 99! Now I just need the time and focus, something I haven't been known for having. Still, thanks to my clan chat, I made it. Onto the levels. No SC tools, no Mahogany Tables, no Demon Butler, no mousekeys. Good old fashion training. The drops that funded my Goal [hide=] [/hide] Level 51-60 [hide=] [/hide] Levels 61-70 [hide=] [/hide] Levels 71-80 [[hide=]IMG]http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww208/Airless_Wing/71Construction.png[/img] [/hide] Levels 81-89 [hide=] [/hide] Level 90 Levels 91-98 [hide=] [/hide] And now... This is without a doubt, my favorite achievement to date. I've worked extremely hard for it, and it has all paid off. I have a House Design that, if you would like to see/play in, come to world 31 Rimmington anytime soon, or just PM me. I dunno what is next. I'll be hosting house parties in world 31, but, more importantly, I have exams soon, as well as a Summer to look forward too. Thank you for reading. I really do appreciate it, and I hope that I inspire somebody to go for a crazy goal, or do what they want, because it's all about fun. As long as you have fun, you are doing what you love. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I love the story :) It reminds me a bit of myself actually. Particularly when you said "For a joke, lets see how much it would cost." Achieving 99 is so satisfying when once upon a time it felt like it would be impossible to obtain. Congratulations - it's one of the most fun/unique 99s in my opinion :) 10/10. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
