puristftmfw Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Purist Ftmfw - Runescape Purist Blog Hey There! This blog is for Purist ftmfw, a Runescape purist. A purist character is a character who does not trade with other players and doesn't use the Grand Exchange. I started this character about 3 months ago as a casual project, just a challenge to see how far i could get like this and its turned into a full time character because I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Nothing too special has happened so far, this is more of a progress blog than anything. My Stats as of 4.00pm Friday, 4 February 2011: Bank: And Gear: I purchased my rune chain, skirt and long from the Champion's Guild Runite store and farmed the gold for it by Fletching and completing tasks. Unfortunately rune shields aren't for sale so I'm stuck with the Mith square for the moment. My current goals are: Complete some quests... unsure which ones though, I just need to catch up with them cause I'm starting to fall behind55 fishing50 slayer Ill post any achievements and any good slayer drops/clue rewards here. Thanks for reading :)Purist ftmfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitterBug Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This sounds like a cool but weird idea. Even if you got some nice slayer drops/clue rewards - wouldn't you still not be able to do anything with it?I think that a lot of this game involves interaction with other players (or at least the GE) and boycotting it wouldn't really do you any good. However, this is a pretty original idea - best of luck if you do decide to go on with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puristftmfw Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 As i said, its more of a challenge than anything, i still play my main account which has all the freedom that comes with the playing the game. I actually got the idea off a player called "Itam 69" who has quite an impressive version of this character, i suggest you check out his blog, the stuff he does is crazy. I think most people call this a DIY'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This sounds like a cool but weird idea. Even if you got some nice slayer drops/clue rewards - wouldn't you still not be able to do anything with it?I think that a lot of this game involves interaction with other players (or at least the GE) and boycotting it wouldn't really do you any good. However, this is a pretty original idea - best of luck if you do decide to go on with it! Not original, the concept is a DIYer - Do It Yourself-er. Do everything on RS sans trading players, GE or buying items that players sold to the general store. Takes a very unique person to stick to it though - personally, it'd be rather interesting to try. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it. Poignant Purple to Lokie's Ravishing Red and Alg's Brilliant Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puristftmfw Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've thought of making a purist account before. Nice stats so far. Thanks a lot :) Just getting started atm, i think that's the hardest part, especially when i got my first slayer task involving poison, had to farm chaos druids for marrentill. Definitely annoyed me haha, but its good fun, give it a go if you have the time/patience :) protip: its called DIY player (Do It Yourself) but goodluck with your goals :thumbup: Yeah, I noticed that after reading through a few other similar posts, my bad, you wouldn't know how to edit the posts title would you?

donaldoholic Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've been diy/purist for a few years. I've just started too many new accounts in the last 3 years though to get anywhere...got a decent one on the go now though. Keep up the good work. Everything's cool when your PMD.
