Emerson's Long-Term Blog

[Emerson]

Hail and well met everyone, before I start with the actual blogging; I would like to take a bit of time to introduce myself.

 

In real life, I am a student at Texas Tech University... Well I should say, I will be as I write this on the eve of my departure. Some may say that continuing Runescape isn't the most rational choice but as you'll probably see in the following entries, I enjoy my irrational decisions :thumbsup: . I always have my private chat on so drop me a line if you feel the random compulsion.

 

Now lets get to the good stuff: Before I loose most of the readers, the following blog will mainly be about the skill goals in my signature. I was lucky enough to stock up on 14K p pots worth of herblore ingredients. Yeah I bought mostly grimy ranarrs so I could clean them for extra xp to make my gold piece go that much farther, I'm stingy like that. Given the current scenario, most of my time will be occupied with making unfinished potions before the Bonus XP weekend (which by the way I support wholeheartedly). After this, I'll finish my long-standing goal of slayer which I've held for about a year now. Yes I'm aware that its taking me forever and I'm sure there are OVER 9000 ways I could've done it faster but I didn't so :blink:

 

Yeah whatever.

 

The current goals stand and while I only have the cash/means to get about 90ish herblore at the moment, I will move on to slayer and after the token abyssal whip drop, I'll move on to Dungeoneering. Thats the plan for now at least :rolleyes: It'll probably change by the time I get there but I look forward to the rewards I already have planned out.

 

Fare thee well

A nice new blog here.

It seems like you have your goals set. Herblore level 96 will be hard to reach, but you seem to be determined enough to be able to complete this goal. Use the double exp weekend wisely.

Good luck!

Support from me.

 

I'm getting 93 herby this weekend... I hope. Might be able to get 94 if I get another Dragon Claws drop. Probably should have gone for Turmoil first.

Well, it was a rather uneventful day in Gielinor for me, most of my day was spent moving into my dorm room. :thumbsup:

 

That said, by the end I have 7250 unfinished ranarr potions prepped and ready for double xp weekend, I have 3K more to clean and 6750 more unfinished potions to make with the remainder of my cleans and the new ones coming in.

 

Tomorrow in addition to cleaning herbs, I'll be making preparations for all the herbs that I'll receive from managing my kingdom, including but not limited to buying vials of water and secondaries. If you have any, I'd be more than happy to buy some. The market scares me right now :ohnoes:

[Emerson]

Well, my net was down last night so I'll keep it brief...

 

I've finished cleaning all my herbs (YAY) and I have 1400 more Ranarr (unf)'s to make. After that I'll be getting all the secondaries for the kingdom herbs that I'll be using, I already have 260 mort myre fungi, 300 papaya, 1K eye of newt and 100 wine of zamorak...

 

Now for the most disturbing information as of yet, I calculated it out and with extremely fast banking it will take between 3 and 4 hours for me to make all the potions at an average of about 1.9 or 1.8 times the normal experience rate :ohnoes: After that.... I have no idea what i'll be doing, probably slayer :thumbsup:

[Emerson]

The past two days were really uneventful, I finished my potions, got some more secondaries, slayed a tad bit.... and today I got the void knight deflector. :thumbsup: The ability to use an armadyl chestplate along with a void set effect at kbd would be nice, as would bcp + void at godwars when I get a chaotic longsword.

 

Seeing as I really dont have much else to talk about, I'll do a short review of the new Void knight game :^_^:

 

In short, I love it. Not necessarily for the massive amount of commendation points you get in one game (I've gotten 40 in a single match :ohnoes: ). But I also enjoy the strategic aspect of it, balancing your troops and powers against whatever an enemy can throw at you. Be it a line of Champions, Archers, or somewhere in between. It feels good to play, the gameplay itself is very entertaining (reminds me a lot of playing chess crossed with stratego which is cool). My last praise of the game is that it just looks freaking awesome. I am not an anime person, nor am I culturally versed in eastern civilizations, but I always loved the pseudo-Japanese look of the void knights and this just exemplifies it. I expect to see the next in the void knight series requiring a certain rank in game because, if you read, it said they are short of commanders and waiting for people to prove themselves or whatnot. Perhaps a leadership role in the upcoming conflict?

 

I personally have no idea but I am however interested to see what happens.
