July 23, 201114 yr Hello Tip.it, Yes, another DIY blog lol. About Effigy Back in 2002, I made the account "Effigy" as a Rune Mining scout for my main, to avoid pkers while rune mining in the wilderness. I never gained any levels or did anything on it minus camp at the safe spot at the Rune Rocks, and got my Scythe drop during that Halloween event. My whole RuneScape career I wanted to make a character that was 100% self sufficient, but could never bring myself to abandoning my main character. After many years on and off playing, I have had zero interest in my main, and cannot seem to get the levels I desire on it, so I quit it for good, and decided to give it a go. I found that doing everything yourself was much more enjoyable, and made accomplishments much more satisfying, so I knew this account would last. Luckily, I made the name "Effigy" as a "representation of my main", many years before Effigies or the NPC Effigy was brought into the game. Now that Effigies were added, it seems like my name choice turned out to be a good one xD I started this account on March 11th, during the bonus exp weekend where I got my first ever levels. I decided this character would be 100% self sufficient, and it has been to this day. My DIY Rules The following are the rules I play by as a DIY character: 1. I will never trade with any player, unless needed to complete a quest (Shield of Arrav / Heroes).2. I will never use the Grand Exchange (Buying OR Selling).3. I will never give assistance, or accept assistance for any reason.4. All Dungeoneering must be completed solo. 5. I will never lend, or receive a loaned item. 6. I will never play any minigame that I can't solo (No PC, SC, BA, CW, etc).7. I will never pick up other player's dropped items * 8. I won't rely on any other player for doing D&Ds. (Example: I will only do penguins if I see them myself on my travels, and won't actively hunt them) *Note: If someone happens to drop a party hat, or other cosmetic item, I will pick it up, but will never sell it. Because these items wouldn't help me gain levels in any way, I don't see this as a deterrance from being DIY. Starting Stats I wanted to wait a while before posting a blog, but decided I'd post early, as I know now I won't quit this account. Here are my stats at the start of this blog: Proof of not using GE (Tutorial not even complete): Goals My main goal really is to have fun, but I have a few goals I'm hoping to achieve by March 11th, 2012 (My 1 year anniversary of starting to train this account). 1. 70+ All skills (Very likely)2. 120 Combat (Likely)3. 100 Dungeoneering (Semi-Likely) I will try and get these done before end of 2011, but that largely depends on how much studying I need to do and such. I will add more to this introduction over the next little while, and keep updating as I hit certain milestones. Thanks for reading!
July 23, 201114 yr You finally made a blog, woot! :grin: Good luck on you're goals, I know you'll go far. :thumbup:
July 23, 201114 yr Author You finally made a blog, woot! :grin: Good luck on you're goals, I know you'll go far. :thumbup: Yeah I know eh? :P Thank you, and I know I will too <3 Post a bank pic? :thumbup: I will post one once I solve my problem of taking screenshots on full screen (makes bank pics much easier to make). Every time I take a screenshot on full screen, it comes up as just a black screen but with "Loading please wait" in the top left. Not sure how to fix that yet lol. On a side note:
July 23, 201114 yr Author Bank Pic: EDIT: Now I'm having problem with paint, as I save it and it saves as an unzoomed picture that can't be zoomed up fully, so comes out like this: Apparently it was because I was on OpenGL mode, had to switch to Software. I never had these problems before xD
July 25, 201114 yr If you have the requirements you can do Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf for around 30k hunter exp. I'm getting the quest cape again and I had to do Deadliest Catch recently and Hunter is my lowest skill other than dg and I despise training it. Makes me want to stab something. Really nice stats though and good luck!
July 25, 201114 yr Author Nice bank. :thumbup: Ty :P 1 Left until Deadlist Catch :D Gluckwunch! haha :P Ty xD! If you have the requirements you can do Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf for around 30k hunter exp. I'm getting the quest cape again and I had to do Deadliest Catch recently and Hunter is my lowest skill other than dg and I despise training it. Makes me want to stab something. Really nice stats though and good luck! I didn't think of that, thanks for the idea, and only have to do fishing contest and Giant Dwarf before I can do that, have all skill requirements so I just might do that, gives me an excuse to quest more lol. Thanks alot!
