Trollbomber's Blog To Completionist - Max Cape Achieved

[Th e Doctor]

Dem surge costs.

[Troll Bomber]

I'm going to work on 88 agility today now, followed by (hopefully) 89 mining and agility by the end of tomorrow.

 

[Troll Bomber]

Didn't get any levels tonight, but made decent progress. Ended up playing COD for a bit while I cut Ivy (now 257k from 95). Did a bit of agility (149k from 88), and a little mining (412k from 89). Afterwards I went down to the polypore dungeon to try it out again and managed to make 6M in a couple of hours, as well as 2 more effigies, putting me at 144 total. At this rate I'll be making many more trips down there in between skilling to rebuild my bank and collect more effigies.

 

I shouldn't have a problem getting 89 mining tomorrow (work a long boring shift at work, perfect opportunity). If I have time I'll try and get 88 or 89 agility, but if not then it's no big deal.

[bleep] you passed me again.

Well, I managed to get this:

 

 

I also did 1 trip to the polypore dungeon and made another 6M profit along with 1 more effigy, putting me at 145. Considered attempting bringing a cannon to the multicombat part of the dungeon for faster effigies, but decided I'd just save money and try to avoid possibly dying.

 

89 mining allowed me to boost to 91, which finished up the rest of my starved effigies. Also got some random xp with the new nourished/sated ones that came from those:

 

 

I'm getting pretty close to leveling up several skills, but my main focus right now is agility. I have 17 nourished effigies for a quick and easy 340k agility xp, and am currently only 83k xp from level 88 agility so I can boost and open them. I might get that tomorrow, but if not, surely I will on Sunday (got lots of plans tomorrow for New Years).

 

My current short term goal is to get 90 agility by Sunday, and then go back to mining and get 90 by Monday.

[Troll Bomber]

Just got 88 agility:

 

 

Which allowed me to open my 16 nourished agility effigies:

 

 

And was able to open several of the sated effigies after that, giving me 95 wc in the process:

 

 

 

Opening so many effigies lately has put me kind of close to a couple of levels. I'm currently 109k from 93 construction, 139k from 92 fishing, 136k from 89 agility, and 294k from 90 mining.

 

I ended up spending 13M on herblore supplies (I can never hold on to money long before I spend it on skills) that should put me about 150k xp or so from 93 herb, at which point I have 400k (so far anyway) in sated herb effigies I can use. Couldn't afford 1k ext def pots yet, but should be able to after a couple more gano trips. Chances are I'll hop on the BXPW bandwagon and begin saving torstols to get 99 herb from just ovls alone when it rolls around:

 

 

And my current effigy stages:

 

 

All 18 nourished effigies are for mining (850k from 91 mining so I can boost and open them). I decided I'm going to continue and wait to open my gorged/use my dragonkins until I'm able to open all gorged stages at once. At that point dragonkins will be used on runecrafting and agility as I had originally intended.

 

After 90+ all stats (hopefully within a little over a week), I'm going to work on 95 firemaking (have 400k in sated xp so far) and 93 mining to boost to 95 (360k nourished, 400k sated xp so far) so I can get closer to unlocking all gorged effigy opening levels.

You can open agility with a +10 citadel boost from the battlefield if you have a bunch of locked agility effigies.

True.

[Troll Bomber]

Well, I don't really know of any clan's citadels that have the agility boost on the battlefield (definitely not mine), so I will probably just continue training via gnome/barb adv and summer pie my effigies.

 

As for a Runescape-oriented New Year's resolution, I want to achieve max cape this year. I would like to get completionist as well, but we'll just have to see whether or not DG goes fast.

[Bxpprod]

Nice xp counter

 

:unsure:

[Troll Bomber]

Did a couple of long trips to ganos (+2 effigies) today and made about 12M, which I turned around and spent on herb to get this:

 

 

Then I boosted to 95 to open these:

 

 

I did troll invasion and penguins as well for 102k rc xp, plus 30k in construction assists. Afterwards I used the profit from ganos to make some more extremes:

 

 

I'm going to try to get all extremes to the same amount as my extreme defence pots, then begin collecting torstol from money I make off ganos so I can be prepared for 99 Herblore (with the help of many gorged herb effigies) during BXPW in March.

 

My only real goal for tomorrow is 91 mining, so that I can get the rest of my nourished effigies (18) out of the way for an easy 360k mining xp. If I have any time left I'll begin working on the levels I'm close to in (fishing, construction, herblore), although I have a feeling I might level them just off the sated effigies I get from the 18 nourished mining stages, but we'll see.

[Aten]

how did you get 3 summ levels at the same time?

[Troll Bomber]

Lots of yaks and geysers.

[Troll Bomber]

Managed 90 mining tonight:

 

 

Decided to give Glacors a try since I hadn't gone in a while, and was curious to see whether or not I'd profit from them.

 

I bought 2k surges at 1,449 gp/surge, and made 5 trips to use them all, killing 156 Glacors total. Ended up getting 177 blue charms and 168 crimson charms, 22 shards, along with 2 more effigies. No boots unfortunately. After selling my loot I realized I just broke even, including the costs of steel titans/scrolls and prayer pots. So, I ended up buying 5k more surges that I'm going to try and use up tomorrow. As long as I break even, I'm happy, seeing as they're still good for effigies, and all boots would be considered profit. This was also the first time I'd been able to use a steel titan at Glacors, and I really enjoyed it. If my luck begins to pick up and I continue to work towards my 10k Glacor kills, I might just get 99 ranged from steel titan.

 

Also assisted another 30k construction xp, putting me 48k from 93. I think I'm going to only assist this skill until 99 before I begin offering runecrafting just to save time.

Pretty good performance at tds there ^^. Good luck with solo :).

[Troll Bomber]

Got this earlier:

 

 

I ended up making 40 (4) ovls afterwards. Mierin was kind enough to teach me a bit about doing TDS, so I gave them a shot on a solo trip and the results were pretty bad. I dunno what it is about TDS but the odd spawns and seeing 4-5 attacking me ends up making me panic with prayers and makes my trips worthless. I might try them again later, but for the time being I'm going to get off for a bit then come back and skill tonight.

[Troll Bomber]

I decided to relax and skill a bit tonight so I got a fishing level:

 

 

I'm really beginning to like rock lobsters, especially since they'll help out my money situation quite well too. Definitely doing these to 99.

 

Afterwards I decided I'd head to Ganos to test my luck and managed to profit 4M in a short 2 hour trip, plus 1 effigy, putting me at 150 total now.

 

Assisted another 30k construction xp, putting me 19k off 93, which I will have tomorrow. Going to start training mining to 91 here soon so I can unlock all nourished effigy combos, as well as working towards 90 agility to finish off my large stack of sated agility xp. I considered opening my gorged fishing and woodcutting effigies tonight seeing as I had enough to give me a free 400k rc xp to get level 92, but decided I'd still hold off until I can open all gorged at once. I don't have any particular number of effigies in mind that I want; I'm just casually gathering them now as I skill on the side. Once I unlock all gorged combos I'm going to use all dragonkins as well, and then each effigy from that point on out will be used on the spot.

[Troll Bomber]

I started off the night with 30k more construction xp via assists, giving me this. Hopefully assists will go a bit faster now:

 

 

Afterwards I thought I would give frost dragons a try. I used them to make all of my money for all of my gear when slaying (brought my net up to about ~100M), but since then hadn't gone because I figured they sucked due the the special attack. After hearing about how well the the gp/hr still was, I bought some gear, and to my surprise, was very pleased. I spent about 4 hours total there, and brought in about 18M profit tonight. Part of the reason was because of my third visage:

 

 

My first one was from an iron dragon task while working towards 99 slayer, and the second was from frost dragons as well when I used to do them often. I went ahead and bought a fury with the extra cash, and have about 5M left over now that I'll probably buy supplies with. I'm going to continue to skill as planned, but will be making frequent trips to frost dragons now to rebuild my bank. I want to amass a net wealth like I used to have, if not more, so I'll be investing in armor/weapons rather than just blowing all my money on skills right away.

 

Currently need to buy tassets, BCP, zerker ring, and claws. Steadfasts later on once I get the money, although I'm considering a DIY pair from Glacors just for the lulz, satisfaction, and progress towards my 10k Glacor kills. All the extra effigies along the way couldn't hurt :wink:

 

My list is primarily based around melee combat, and also geared towards my ideal slayer setup I'd like to have for when I start slaying again. Obviously it will take a little time (I make 2.5-3M an hour at frosts right now) to obtain all this, but that's fine with me. I burn out if I camp frosts too long anyway, so skilling and killing should go well together. Plus, I'll need to continue to buy cannonballs and pots anyway. If things go well, I might get 99 ranged from cannoning frosts. I did about 65k range xp tonight, and am 75k off lvl 97, so I'll go for that tomorrow.

 

After I got tired of frosts tonight I went ahead and finished up the 90k agility xp I needed for a level, giving me this:

 

 

My short-term goal at the moment is to bring my net wealth over 100M (currently ~30M), and obtain the 90s milestone cape (8 more levels) before I go back to school on January 17th.

[Troll Bomber]

Went ahead and did a BoB to see how what I was currently at:

 

 

I'm hoping to push past 40M net wealth tonight, and possibly 50M by the end of the weekend. I went ahead and took a picture of my setup as well incase anyone was interested in going. This isn't the best setup possible clearly, but I'm currently working on attaining better gear (tassets, bcp, and berserker ring). I should easily acquire my berserker ring tonight, followed by tassets tomorrow/Sunday, then finally BCP early next week.:

 

 

I head there with 1 yak summoned carrying 22 prayer pots and 8 more rocktail, and have the yak in my inventory for a renewal when needed. The more trips I make, the fewer food I'm bringing as I learn how to soul split a little better. I also manage 60 minute trips easily now, and am currently working towards 80 and 100 minute trips as I get better. Current profit/hr is anywhere from 2.5 to 2.8M an hour for me.

[Quyneax]

Bcp is a bigger upgrade than tassets ;). Good luck with the money :).

 

(also you have 2 yak scrolls too many)

[Troll Bomber]

(also you have 2 yak scrolls too many)

I was considering BCP before tassets but I wasn't too sure. I'll buy zerker > bcp > tassets > claws > steadfasts now.

[Troll Bomber]

I did 2 more trips to frosts tonight and brought in another 4.5M

 

Fished rocktails afterwards for a bit before getting bored and wasting xp by doing a random gargoyles task. However I did finally set some larger scale goals and reworked some of my ideas for gaining my completionist cape. Originally I was going to wait until I maxed to start dungeoneering again, but after some thought I decided I'm not going to wait that long. I originally thought there would be enough content to keep me busy while I wasn't DGing, but with almost 90M xp to go, I doubt it. So, in order to be a little more efficient with my time, I'll be dungeoneering straight to 120 once I hit 94+ all stats, so that I can open any doors. In my off time when floors aren't available, I'll continue to train skills as I would before, but DG will be my #1 priority.

 

Before 94+ even happens though, I want to use up all of my effigies, which means I need to finish up my gorged effigy opening skills:

 

• 92 Agility
  
• 95 Runecrafting (will begin using dragonkins on rc/opening stages with rc at the same time)
  
• 95 Mining
  
• 97 Firemaking
  
• 95 Herblore
  
• 94 Construction
  

All in all I need 14 more levels until I can open all of my effigy stages, so I am going to add that to my short-term to do list along with building net wealth from frosts and attaining my 90s cape. Just as with my previous short-term goal, I would like to have this done (which would of course lead to me opening all effigies/using dragonkins on rc for 99) by January 17th, but if not then by no later than the end of January. I know I said I wasn't going to set any particular dates on when I would need to have my comp cape by, but if getting comp in 2012 seems feasible, I'm going to go for it.

 

Also, I bought 200 snapdragons seeds to begin farming and making unf pots to hopefully turn a profit once BXPW rolls around. I still need to buy ~1500 torstol for my overloads I plan to make that weekend, so I'm going to begin buying those soon also.

No. I can't ever find teams so I'll just deal with base xp.
