VlogScape - AKwaspRS Video Logs

[AKwaspRS]

 

Hello everyone! I'm AKwasp and have started compiling video logs to chronicle my adventures around Runescape.

These video blogs (vlogs) are created as part of my YouTube channel for Runescape entertainment and education, highlighting my recent accomplishments as a player.

I've been a Runescape player since December 2000 and will be sharing with the community my accumulated knowledge and experience.

If you enjoy this content, check out my actual guides on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AKwaspRS

Since several vlogs have predated the creation of this thread, I'll update here until current; then this thread will be updated whenever new vlogs are posted to my AKwaspRS channel. Enjoy!

Additional Video Logs can be found in this playlist as they become available:

 

AKwaspRS Video Log 01 - 97 RC, 84 Hunter, Taskmaster Re-Unlock, Penance Aura, Hati/ Skoll

Uploaded by AKwaspRS on Feb 19, 2012

 

In this video log, I earn 97 Runecrafting and 84 Hunter, bringing my total skill level to 2458. I also complete the new Burthrope tutorial to re-unlock the Taskmaster emote, and complete the 2012 Winter Runescape Events of Hati and Skoll. Finally, I purchase the Penance Aura from the Loyalty Rewards shop thanks to Jagex's bonus points during their 12 days of Christmas event.

Video Log 02 - Rhino Cape (TokHaar-Kal) Fight Kiln First Attempt = Successful

 

Uploaded by AKwaspRS on Feb 28, 2012

 

In this video log, I complete the Fight Kiln minigame in my first attempt. I wasn't entirely prepared for the epic battle, but scraped through it with just a few resources left over. This video log covers the equipment setup that I brought with me, explaining my rationale for the gear and inventory, and addresses some areas for improvement. Most impressively perhaps, I completed all 37 on my first attempt without the use of any Nex Armor or Spirit Shields - Bandos, Aramadyl, and Ganodermic armor served me just well.

 

Also check out my detailed Fight Kiln Guide:

My Fight Kiln guide is divided up into 6 sections, which educate players to complete the minigame without any prior knowledge of the Fight Kiln. Expensive Nex Armors and/ or Spirit Shields are not requirements for my method. Novice to intermediate players should use their best Beast of Burden, whereas advanced players should utilize Steel Titans.

Video Log 03 - Bonus XP Weekend Preparation: Herblore Habitat, Hunting Jadinko

 

Published on Mar 14, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

In this 3rd video log, I share my tips with the RS community for having a fun and bountiful bonus XP weekend, which is coming up around the corner. I also share my feedback at my first experience with hunting jadinko's at the Herblore Habitat as I acquire the camouflage set for better chances of catching draconic jadinkos over the weekend. Part 2 of this video log features "live" commentary at my first attempts at capturing all the jadinkos to unlock the witchdoctor camouflage.

Video Log 03.5 - "Live" Bonus XP Prep Commentary: Herblore Habitat, Hunting

Published on Mar 15, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

This is the second part to my video log 03 (so I'm calling it vlog 3.5), wherein I share my tips with the RS community for having a fun and bountiful bonus XP weekend, which is coming up around the corner. I also share my feedback at my first experience with hunting jadinko's at the Herblore Habitat as I acquire the camouflage set for better chances of catching draconic jadinkos over the weekend. Link to first part:

This was my first attempt at a "live" commentary, wherein I recorded my reactions to actions onscreen in real time. This helped to capture some genuine emotions while playing through the activity; but overall resulted in a longer video since trying to keep a conversation going with myself & the audience while playing through new content proved very distracting. Whether you enjoyed this format or not, please leave me feedback if you'd like to see more "live" videos like this in the future, if there's some specific aspects I could improve, or if I should revert to voiceovers altogether.

Epic luls @ 36:30

Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Btw, good slayer vids

Video Log 04 - Bonus XP Rewards: 90 Hunter + Mass Profit

Published on Mar 22, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

In this 4th video log, I achieve some epic levels including 90 Hunter, and make some massive profit from merching potions in the GE over the Bonus Experience Weekend. I also received a ton of Herblore Habitat minigame herb seeds, which will be useful if I ever decide to make Juju potions, although I'm already maxed in all supported skills. These levels and seeds were rewarded from hunting 3140 jadinkos over the weekend, 2671 of which where Draconics, or roughly 85%

 

FYI for anyone who wants to track my potion profit: http://[Censored - Don't use a URL shortner]/jPuMC

Video Log 05 - Lodestone Network, Bakriminel Bolts, Taskmaster

Published on Mar 26, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

In this video log 05, I unlock all the teleport locations for the recent Lodestone Network update, and demonstrate Bakriminel Bolt Fletching by chopping the Soul Wars' Bloodwood Tree. I also take a final look at the Taskmaster emote before tomorrow's Morytania Elite Task/ Diary update; since I've never done Temple Trekking, it's unlikely I'll re-unlock the emote anytime soon.

Also here is a link to my birthday bonus video! I opened up 10 Ancient Effigies, March's Troll Invasion Reward Book, and a Jack of Trades Reward Book for a grand total of 1.15 Million Overall Experience! 600k is Runecrafting experience, and around 250k is Hunter XP. Now I'm only 29k XP from 99 Runecrafting.

Video Log 7 - 99 Runecrafting! & Buying Auras (Loyalty Rewards Discount)

 

Published on Mar 31, 2012 by AKwaspRS

In this video log 07, I achieve the epic lvl 99 Runecrafting skillcape! Woot!

I also get a great value out of the discounted auras in the Loyalty Rewards Program Shop, unlocking Greater Runic Accuracy & Greater Sharpshooter (both tier 2 from 0).

Video Log 08 - Armadyl Battlestaff, Farseer Kiteshield, Easter, Temple Trekking, Morytania XP Lamps, Ganodermic Beasts

Published on Apr 9, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

In video log 08, I cover a few past achievements that haven't made previous video logs; namely crafting an Aramdyl Battlestaff and buying a Farseer Kiteshield. I also claim my XP from Morytania easy, medium, hard, and early bird reward lamps. After a short plug for my Ganodermic Beast Guide, I show off my progress towards completion of the Temple Trekking minigame, my only unfinished requirement for the elite task and re-unlock of my Taskmaster emote.

Video Log 09 - 99 Slayer! Dungeoneering Toolbelt, Chewed Bones, Trekking

Published on April 13, 2012 by AKwaspRS

 

In video log 09, I achieved 99 Slayer! I claimed my trimmed skillcape from Kuradel and make a guide of tasks. Only 91 Hunter and 96 Prayer stand in the way of my Maxed Cape, and 103 Dungeoneering for Comp Cape.

I also made myself some high tier promethium equipment for the dungeoneering update, namely prom pickaxe and hatchet. This was very simple with 99 skills and should prove very helpful on my road to 120 Dung.

There have been 5 Chewed Bones staring at me in the bank for ages, so I decided to finally put those ancient barbarian spirits to rest. As expected, the loot wasn't good and the spirits are just as fickle about giving away DFH's as Mithril Dragons.

Finally, check out my April Giveaway! Relevant links below:
