Trollbomber's Blog To Completionist - Max Cape Achieved

[Troll Bomber]

Did only a few more floors last night. Currently 2.3M from 111, which I hope I can accomplish tonight (brb 80% chance of tornadoes this evening. Gotta love Kansas). If I manage to do do so I'll be right at 1.6M Tokens.

 

You are now mad

Buying bonus mad.

[Troll Bomber]

Lots of floors today. Didn't DG as much as I could have (tornado sirens, ect.), but after that was all sad and done, I gained just over 2.6M DG xp today.

 

I managed to get 111 DG as well:

 

 

 

Afterwards I did a few more floors before finally getting burnt out. I should have time to play tomorrow, but it's doubtful I'll gain as much XP as I did today.

 

My current progress:

 

 

And tokens:

 

 

I only need to DG to 98M DG xp in total, as tokens tokens at that point (~7,140,000) will be enough to buy 120, buy all of the prayers for comp cape, as well as some leftovers for recharging chaotics and whatnot. So in reality, I only need to gain ~55M more DG xp. It's been 52 days since I started my commitment to 120 DG, and so far I've gained just over 25M xp. Factoring in tokens that's over 500k xp/day average, or 3.5M a week. I knew in the beginning my rate would increased as it has, and I still believe it will go up more. Based off of that (and rounding just for nice numbers), 56M more gained DG xp should take 16 more weeks, which puts me right at the beginning of August. Factoring in increased xp/hr overtime, I think I will be able to make it happen before the end of July if I'm lucky. If so, there's no doubt in my mind I can achieve comp cape this year. [/numbercrunching]

 

Aside from DG, my torstol runs are proving to make decent profit. I started with only being able to afford 6-7 torstol seeds at a time (having to stop at the GE to sell herbs/rebuy seeds between every trip), to now having between 25-30. It's not much, but it's decent money for hardly any effort. Also, the xp is nice, as I'm now 152k from 97 farming. Still shooting for 97 agil, 97 farm, 98 con by the end of this month as well (+113 DG ofc).

 

Goal for tomorrow is to get under 3M from 112 DG.

Didn't play much today. I gained about half as much DG xp as I had planned, but no big deal. Only 1 occ, 5 abds left till reset.

 

 

I also managed to save up enough supplies to make DIY restores (too poor to buy) to match my overloads for DG

 

I can finally start making a slight profit off selling mushrooms now in addition to torstol/flasks. If I had to guess, my net wealth is nearing 12M or so (excluding the 12M in livid farm runes). I'd like to reach 100M+ by the time 120 DG rolls around and dump it all into smithing if at all possible, as that's my most expensive buyable skill left next to prayer.

 

112 this week, with a majority of the way towards 113 over this upcoming weekend seems feasible, so that's my goal.

Yours now for the low low low price of just 800 SOF spins.

That's a whole lot of nice dungeoneering. Dung is a fun skill, but it's still my lowest one...You have however made me more motivated to train it :)

Good luck with getting 120. It's not too far away now...You can do it! :D

[Troll Bomber]

Haven't been on much, but still enough to get some decent DGing in. Closing in a little more on 112. I should hopefully have it the first part of this weekend, and then be able to knock off 1/4-1/2 of the way to 113 off as well, depending on how much time I have. 113 this month will happen no problem. Cya goal of 113 by mid-June.

 

Blah and blah:

 

 

 

Aside from that, my first non-DG level finally in a while finally happened:

 

 

 

Definitely going to be a while until 98. I imagine I'll get it shortly before 120, then 99 will come primarily from livid farm. 319k from 98 construction, and 242k from 97 agility as well. I'm hoping to get both of them this month too, but I'll be cutting it close. Unfortunately I've been lazy the past two weeks on doing pengs, so I missed out on quite a bit of agil xp, so maybe I'll remember to get them done this week.

 

Did primarily abd's and couple of occs in my fresh reset tonight, so I still stand to gain some fair xp with my open warps before this weekend.

Thanks. The huge xp gap seemed very demotivating at first but it doesn't bother me at all now. Looking forward to being done in the next few months though hopefully.

Suppose I should probably update this. Had a pretty productive weekend DG-wise, which included 112 first thing in good old sub-30 W67:

 

 

Got slightly burnt out on DG this weekend due to horribly incompetent people on W67 (expected), and found myself bankstanding or chilling in the lobby when I could have been filling the dozens of +1's being called, but meh. Not quitting or taking a break by any means, but I finally realized how horrible floors can definitely put a damper on the whole idea of DG and ruin a good streak.

 

Nonetheless, I still had a pretty productive weekend.

 

After getting 112, I knocked a good portion of 113 out of way yesterday and today, which brings my current progress to:

 

 

And of course my token count has gone up nicely as well:

 

 

Today marks 2 consecutive months of focusing on my goal of 120 DG, which for me seems like quite an achievement due to the fact that I rarely finish anything. However I think I've come too far to bother taking a break, and so I'm going to continue towards 120 as soon as possible. Just for fun I threw together my DG xp in one month intervals (the whopping 3 that exist):

February 22 - 17.6M XP

March 22 - 25.4M XP

April 22 - 49.4M XP

Technically it would be more efficient for me to go ahead and do a few more floors and dump all my tokens for 113, but I'll just stick to my plan of "stopping" at 98M xp and buying 120 later on. Pretty excited for my primal 2h before too long, as well as another warp floor of course. Seeing as I don't have long left until I level, I might be able to do it before this upcoming weekend. If so I'd be able to do probably half of the way to 114 by a week from now, putting me right on schedule to be done sometime this summer.

 

Seeing as I've caught up to my short-term goal (which doesn't happen often) of 113 DG, I've gone ahead and put together another "rough draft" of the rest of the way to 120:

114 DG - May 6th

115 DG - May 20th

116 DG - June 8th

117 DG - June 24th

118 DG - July 8th

119 DG - July 22nd

120 DG - July 31st

Of course, these are only another list of short-term goals, but seeing as I completed and surpassed my previous list, I am a bit more motivated to do so with this one as well.

 

Aside from all of that, I've continued to do the basic torstol runs, construction assists, and misc xp lamps on agility as I have been. Closing in on 97 agility (187k) and 98 construction (190k), both of which I will try to have sometime this week :thumbsup:

[Bxpprod]

Nice total.

[Troll Bomber]

Haven't had an opportunity to play much lately, so I'm hoping to pick up the pace soon. Saturday evening I got this:

 

 

 

I only had time to do a couple of P2H hunts, none of which had Kalger, so I'm still without my new bind <_< I'm hoping to get it tonight though.

 

Progress & Tokens:

 

 

 

Aside from that, I'm closing in on a couple more non-DG levels. Currently 53k, from 98 construction, which will happen tomorrow evening from assists, as well as 97 agility, which will happen tomorrow evening as well from penguin points/JOAT/troll invasion. 615k from 98 farming for the time being, so I will easily get that next month. A good friend of mine also quit this weekend, and left his 50M he had left to me. It was unfortunate to have him go, but he asked that I place the money towards 99 prayer for myself, so that's what I will be setting it aside for. After that I decided to do a BoB just to check where I was at:

 

 

Granted 50M of it was given to me as a gift, the torstol/flasks each day have added up decently. My goal is 120M net wealth at 120 DG just for fun. Afterwards I'll likely focus on 99 fishing and mining in the LRC just to bring in more money for my last remaining buyables.

[Bxpprod]

Should probably pm me somehwere when you need that hunt done. :thumbup:

wheres ur new 2h pic

[Troll Bomber]

No DG tonight. Did penguins for last week + this week and cashed in the points + a few laps for an agility level. Most of 96-97 was misc xp:

 

 

After today's assist, I was 22k from 98 so I decided to just buy it. Assists are harder to come by lately, so it will likely be a while until I'm 99. Excluding random con xp gained from floors, I could technically have it in 41 days, but I'm going to aim more for the end of June.

 

 

I have a fresh reset right now, so I should be able to do some fairly decent xp gains this week before the upcoming weekend. I've quit doing abds, and stick to only warps and occs as well.

[Troll Bomber]

Did several floors yesterday:

 

 

 

Unfortunately I'm going to be taking a small break from DG. I've decided to go ahead and get 99 smithing out of the way. Last time I price checked it several months ago, addy plates were ridiculously expensive, but thanks to MadProd, it appears as though it's much cheaper now, at least for the time being. In order to buy bars in bulk, I sold my livid farm runes (~11M) and used the 50M from my friend, in addition to my torstols I had saved up, for about 86M. I've kept ~6M leftover to continue to buy semi-bulk torstol seeds rather than visiting the GE before each run.

 

 

 

I need to do 122k addy bars, 9k of which I should save from scroll of efficiency. I'm hoping to only lose 40-50M on 90-99. If so, I will be able to afford to do broad arrows to 99 fletch while finishing up livid farm :thumbsup:

 

Been a while since I've trained smithing, so I'm not familiar with the xp rates, but I'm *hoping* to be done by mid-May so I can get back into DG and stay on track with that.

[SwreeTak]

Seems like you have got yourself something to do. Good luck on getting 99 smithing. It shouldn't take too long, but you will certainly have things to do in RS with that goal.

[Bxpprod]

MathsProd to the rescue. Should be interesting to see how prices pan out with the implementation of Optimus and the roll out of several anti-bot updates. Hopefully they don't go too berzerk :<

Gunna be pushing shit uphill to save that many bars. Based on the 15k bars I used, I saved ~1.5%, so if you manage to save 7% over that 122k, I call hax. Have you factored in that the 8% save rate is not per bar used, but per item?

Yeah I realized that yesterday after I had been smithing a while. Definitely won't be saving 9k, which wasn't necessarily my main concern, but rather that I can get a majority/all of smithing done before prices skyrocket.

 

Used just over 12k bars yesterday, and made some alright progress:

 

 

Have quite a few bars saved up for this weekend that I want to try and use. If I could get all of them used by the end of tomorrow that'd be great, but depends on how my sanity handles it. It's decent xp, but extremely boring, so we'll see.

 

Unfortunately bar prices are already rising pretty steadily, so hopefully I can smith fast enough to still make 99 under 50M or so. Also went ahead and sold torstol seeds for a little extra money as you can see. Going to focus only on 99 smithing to get it done faster. Really hoping to have it by a week from now.

 

 

Seems like you have got yourself something to do. Good luck on getting 99 smithing. It shouldn't take too long, but you will certainly have things to do in RS with that goal.

Thanks. In the past I haven't done very well with sticking to 1 skill for a long time (aside from slayer/DG which I find fun), so hopefully I don't burn out. I'm just happy to know that after this I only have 2 buyables left to spend money on :thumbup:

[Bxpprod]

God damnit shit [bleep]. Should've dumped cash when I had the chance.

 

 

#ragequit

[Troll Bomber]

Buying sanity.

 

Did a little more smithing today. It's boring as hell, but luckily it shouldn't take too much longer. I got my 3rd level since starting yesterday:

 

 

Almost 1/4 of the way done from when I started:

 

 

It's still possible to finish using up the rest of my bars I wanted to by the end of tomorrow, but definitely not a guarantee:

 

 

If I do manage to use all those, I'll likely sell the ~7500 plates and buy another (hopefully) 30k bars and use another 3k or so to get 95 tomorrow.

 

At 100% efficiency, addy plates are just over 300k xp/hr, but seeing as I don't play at 100%, I'm getting ~280k-290k/hr atm. This means just over 20 more hours of this boring skill till I'm done. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get 99 in less than a week from starting.

~90 minutes for 92 @ 280k/h.

 

AKA.

[Troll Bomber]

Well, smithing sucks. Luckily I'm almost done. Spent a lot of time this weekend churning out addy plates, which gave me this just now:

 

 

 

Goal is 99 smithing on Tuesday. I was going to turn around and start DG again afterwards, but it with how cheap smithing has turned out, I am going to go ahead and take care of 99 prayer while I'm at it. Only losing 35-40M for 99 smithing overall, and should be able to get 99 prayer for 40-45M, leaving me broke, but with only 1 buyable skill left, fletching. I'll be doing 400k+ broads during livid farm with money I gain from torstols/flasks to 120 DG if everything goes well.

 

If I get 99 prayer quickly, I might just spend a few more hours at jad lair to throw 99 firemaking in the bunch for fun.

 

~90 minutes for 92 @ 280k/h.

~0 minutes for 99 @ idfc xp/hr :grin:
