Welcome!

 

Hey there, welcome to my DIY blog. I've been playing Runescape since October 2006, possibly a bit before. During that time, I've never done anything particularly challenging. I've used guides, found out how to do something way before I can even do it, followed in the steps of many before me :rolleyes: So I know DIY accounts certainly aren't unique, they're becoming ever more popular, but at least it'll be more challenging. I love DIY'ing, but I found I can't start it on an account that was already immersed into trade.

 

So, 'D I Y Kabe' was created! This blog will follow my progress from day one, through to day *insert number between 1 and 100,000* on my quest for the Completionist Cape :thumbsup:

I realise that this goal may take me awhile, take one of the latest requirements for example, 'The Fight Kiln'. That requires some pretty high-end gear, but I'm determined to get there :grin:

 

DIY stands for 'Do-It-Yourself'. For example, if I want to go boss-hunting, I'll need to find or make everything I need. Food, potions, armour, everything.

So, a godsword, made up of three shards, and a hilt, will require some luck. I might never get one, *insert squeal of fortune luck here* but the journey will be fun.

 

Rules

  • No Trading (inc. GE, drop-trading, etc.)
  • NPC shops allowed - player stock excluded
  • No Lootsharing/Coinsharing
  • No Assists
  • No group PVM
  • Multi-player minigames allowed

I will play some multi-player minigames, like Conquest, because it's needed for Trimmed Comp Cape, but I won't use, say Stealing Creation, because all that gives is an experience boost.

 

There will be exceptions to these rules, such as the trades required for the Shield of Arrav, but I won't be breaking them unless I must to complete something ingame.

I don't plan to ever stop DIY'ing, so it will be interesting to see my bank in a few years :rolleyes: *Praying for more bank space*

[spoiler=Slayer]This is my Slayer log, I will log every slayer task I complete, as well as any interesting drops or items obtained during it.

 

Sadly I lost from 1-43 Slayer, but It wasn't too interesting, quest rewards had given me a fair amount of the exp.

 

91 Jungle Horrors - 44 Slayer, 57 Defence

Day 1

 

+865 experience

+6 levels

 

Was born.

 

Made a start into the Introductory Tasks, no special tutorial at all anymore :blink:

Completed Blood Pact.

 

Day 2

 

+ 15,979 experience

+ 50 levels

 

Figured out how to turn the learning tasks off, I'll complete them in my own time.

Completed:

-Chef's Assistant

-The Restless Ghost

-Rune Mysteries

-Sheep Shearer (Ik it's not a quest, but it used to be :ohnoes: )

 

Spent the rest of my time online either completing random tasks, or woodcutting <_<

Highest skill - Woodcutting - 30

Next highest - Hitpoints - 10 :mellow:

 

Thanks for the interest guys :thumbsup:

I've updated the first post a bit, you'll find a few short-term goals on there (although everything levels so fast at the moment, they're more like medium term)

Ahh yes, Squeal of Fortune <_< It's an interesting conundrum, but I suppose I'll take whatever I can get :rolleyes:

Although it does take a bit of the achievement out of obtaining an item yourself, but I suppose that will be the 'lucky' version..

 

Oh yeah, all I got from my spin was a members lamp :angry:

I love DIY goals, i have a DIY account of my own actually but it doesn't have that great of stats.

 

Best of luck on all your goals.

 

PS: Don't tell people your account creation details, like the date, as it makes your account less secure.

Nice! :thumbsup:

 

I would suggest adding more pictures (even just one of your levels tab I guess each update), it's currently hard to follow your level progression apart from the few you mention during each update as well. For example Day 5 was the most exciting so far, just because it stands out as having a picture in a crowd of text.

I agree with you on the picture front, I just haven't done much worthy of a picture yet <_<

I could do the stats tab after each day, but that might seem like overkill? Oh well, I guess I'll do that :thumbup:

 

Anyway.

 

Day 8

 

+16k experience

+49 levels

 

Did a bit of quite a few skills, made a start on Dungeoneering (a very small one), did my first bit of combat grinding (may there be thousands of hours to go :ohnoes: )

Uhh, and a picture.

Look at that sexy ring :rolleyes:

Oh, also completed my mask of Dragith Nurn, just because I could.

Got through Melzar's maze at the second attempt, used a safespot against the demon.

Found the second map piece, so tomorrow, if I get time, I'll get the third and complete the map :ohnoes:

Hit the 500 total level milestone, so only ~2000 to go for max :thumbsup:

 

Also managed to beat up a goblin thief by the name of Wormbrain for the third and final piece of my map to Crandor :rolleyes:

Purchased a rather dilapidated boat, (no, not the player-owned-ports) for 2,000 (bargain!!) and fixed that up...

 

The Lady Lumbridge, ready for her voyage to Crandor!

The detail in that screenshot nearly murdered my internet connection :angry:

So, Elvarg.

Going to train up for this fight, I've got some swordfish banked, I just need to cook them, train up a bit and find some decent armour :mellow:
