2K7 DIY - Fresh Start

[Balotelli]

 

[hide=EoC progress]Hello and welcome to my thread where I keep progress of my brand new DIY account.

I love to note my progress down so there will be a lot of statistics in this thread. (Getting spins from monsters, skilling, keeping my slayer tasks, drops, clues etc)

 

[hide=The reason why I started DIY]

I've been reading all the DIY topics and was fascinated since itam started it.

Problem was: I have a main with 2400+ total and couldn't be bothered to start all over again.

Time passed by and I decided to sell all my stuff on my main and start to do DIY.

I put the untradeables on a tab I would never use again.

 

It was fun the first hours, although I had full rune after an hour (mining with a steel pick, making rune armour)

And after a couple hours I had already a whip

 

I realised I was getting the stuff way too early and it felt like cheating because all my stats were pretty high and DIY was way too easy for me.[/hide]

 

Sooooooooooo... I started a brand new account on 23 may 2012. I could have named my character Kompany since I'm from Belgium (and a City supporter) but let's face it, Balotelli is a hero.

The very first day I did a whole bunch of quests, including nature spirit and the knight's sword.

From now on I'll update every day.

[Balotelli]

24 may - My goal of today was: getting varrock armour 1

It was easy until my last task: enter the earth altar

I killed some al kharid warriors, men, goblins. Couldn't get one

So I decided to do some quests and get 36 hunter to catch earth implings

 

Also did fairy tales part 1 for fairy rings (you only have to start part 2 to access them)

 

1-9 hunt crimson swift

9-19 copper longtail

19-36 tropical wagtail

 

Hard work paid off, got my earth talisman after second earth impling

 

 

Stats end day 2

[Low Levelled]

Good luck with all your goals. DIY is cool!

[Blake]

Probably a good thing you made a new account, starting over is so much fun. Good Luck!

 

You can add my DIY account, Blake-o

[Dankaz]

Good luck mate! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the latest addiction :)

[Balotelli]

Thanks all. I added you blake.

 

25 may 2012

Did gertrudes cat, need a grown cat for some quests later

Also got 10 construction for Tower of Life, but didn't do the quest today

I did some slaying: finishing the scorpion task, 52 bears and 66 kalphites.

Got 500 total while doing so

 

Finished black knights fortress and recruitment drive. Upgraded my armour to initiate

 

And waterfall + tree gnome village quest got me some levels

 

 

Solved my very first clue on this account, a medium one. Had to drop an easy one earlier because I had to get iron boots and it will take some levels before getting them.

For this one I had to get a blue snelm, which was easy (snales are level 20 and you need only level 15 crafting to create one)

Was hoping for an adamant hatchet but I didn't get one.

 

Happy with the legs though, they will help me once I reach 30 defence.

Oh yeah, +1 for the death counter. I died while solving the clue, a tribesman poisoned me and I died in edgeville lol.

 

My goal for now is: getting 50 ranged, mainly on guards to solve some more level 2 clues. Once I get 50 ranged I'll go to the waterfalll to kill some fire giants and hope for a rune scimitar.

 

Grtz

[The Runar]

Wow, you're gaining levels really fast :o

[Th e Doctor]

You should go back to your main and do bosses from scratch. All the fun of diy without the sadness of ditching your main.

[Balotelli]

Wow, you're gaining levels really fast :o

Most of the levels are from quests, but yeah, I've been playing quite a bit so far.

Good idea but I'm too bored to play on my main. I enjoy getting levels again without grinding too much :)

 

So another update

 

26 may

I made some iron knives earlier to train my ranged at guards while hoping for medium clue scrolls. My primary goal is to get an Adamant Hatchet from them. If any of the clues would include some green d'hide armour I would be very happy too. (although you can buy them from the champion guild, but the less cash I have to spend the better)

So the first clue of the day was this one.

 

Some addy armour and d'hide body! Great

Decided to do something else and train my fishing to 40 for lobsters.

Got 600 total

 

And 40 fishing (medium xp lamp from the wheel)

 

Got my explorer ring 1

 

... And 2 :)

 

40 RC

 

And 40 mining

 

I might buy a rune pickaxe after 41 mining from the dwarven' shop. Although I could do the quest Between A Rock but I need 59 magic for that, that will take some time especially because I'm only training it with boss battles in quests and circus lol.

 

After the levels I killed some more guards for clues and guess what. Another piece of d'hide AND MY ADAMANT HATCHET!

 

And to end my day I also got this

 

Also got 40 cooking

At 50 ranging I'll go to fire giants and hope for a rune scimitar.

Oh yeah, killing the guards got me some grapes... 200 cooking xp each

 

Full bank pic after a month or so, not worth yet :)

You are progressing really fast! Gratz on the addy hatchet and all the levels :)

P.S. Share some of them biscuits? (You seem to get lots of biscuits from the cluescrolls :thumbsup: )

[Balotelli]

Thanks, those hatchets are a pain to get. Must be lucky from SoH/Clue or make them yourself (or some metal dragons I think)

And yeah, whenever I bake biscuits irl you are invited :D

 

Anyway, a small update because some great things happened.

I wont be playing alot the next 4 days, exams are coming closer and I need some preparation.

So today was my last day of no lifing and I might do some lobster fishing whenever I can combine it with a small school task.

 

Whenever I was mining iron ores in yanille, I killed an imp on my way back to the bank

After a couple trips I had all the beads and I completed imp catcher

 

The reward isn't that spectacular but I got 2 spins... Guess what I got

 

Unbelievable because I was thinking about buying one for 32k (!) @ the dwarf lol. But now I'm 32k closer to my dragon longsword :D

And I also got my wicked hood, that is some crazy sht man... Got about 600 mind runes and 1200 airs after 2 days.

 

I did dragon slayer, killing the dragon with 40-38-25 and full intiate with adamant longsword took me 3 trips, the dragon does not regain its health when you bank :)

Gained a bunch of levels, combat levels and achieved 700 total

 

And this is pretty sick, 24/28 iron ores smelted without ring of forging @ 39 smithing :D

 

And I did another easy quest, Fight Arena, combat 49 atm

[Dankaz]

Goodluck on your exams mate :) I have my last one this tuesday, yay me. Gratz on the rune pickaxe and 49 cmb!

I just got my d long/dds today :thumbsup: Also, from the shop near the d weapons shop, you can get 10 ruby rings at about 2k each. Extremely useful for smithing iron after you enchant them. (rubies are a pain in the A to get, atleast for me, I rarely get them)

Gonna post everything I did today this evening. feel free to have a look.

Thanks alot man! And gratz on your dragon weapons :)

That's a good tip, I will keep that in mind. Most of my rubies on my main are from monster drops, so yea you are right about that. I have one ruby so far and that's from a fire giant, I killed 20 with 600 fire strikes (from the wicked hood btw) hoping for a rune scimitar, but no luck =)

 

And yep, I will your blog update, I read most of the DIY topics on forum tip it ;D

[Trey]

Huge fan of DIY blogs, I'll be watching this!

 

Best of luck.

[Rjk]

Some nice progress there, best of luck!

DIY blogs are always the most fun to read. :)

[Balotelli]

Thanks all!

Small update

 

28 may 2012

I did merlin's crystal quest for this bad boy (lovely pray xp)

 

Leveled up 7 pray and 5 defence, enough to wear this

 

Also did another medium clue from guards

 

And another

 

Mined 1000 iron ores, smelted into 700 iron bars and got 3500 Throwing knives, its time to camp some fire giants

40 smith milestone

 

Im 45 smith now from all the knives

 

50 ranged on fire giants

 

And I did 2 inventories... No rune scim tho :( But a loop, my first one. I will add that to my statistics, it's interesting to see how many you get from monsters.

Also added bird nests from woodcutting in the topic

 

 

And did 3 level 1 clues from HAM, nothing good. The clue items were: yew comp, willow comp and biscuits

[Balotelli]

Another update, had some luck today

 

First of all I did the easy tasks of karamja (only 10 tasks) for this gloves.

 

Free 40 pineapples a day, great stuff for supercompost

And I passed 200+ tasks so now I get 4096 gp each task... Will have enough soon for my first dragon weapon

 

I went back to fire giants and I got this. Will take a few years to complete it lol

 

But then this happens... Taaaaaaaa-daaaaaaa

 

And stayed a lil' longer for 55 ranged

 

And this was trip #3, an amazing trip including 100 silver ores

 

Going to do some quests later this afternoon

[The Runar]

Effigy wtf :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

 

Grats on 55 ranged and rune scimmy :)

[Dankaz]

Gratz on the rune scimi and 55 ranged! Also, nice effigy :) +1 to the future collection? :thumbsup:

P.S. You excited about the QBD update? (even though I won't be able to fight her for years, I am) Dragon Kiteshield woop woop.

[Kabbage5]

Love your blog, Manchester United fan I may be :thumbsup:

 

Awesome progress as well :mellow:

[Balotelli]

Thanks all for this great support, this keeps me going :)

 

Love your blog, Manchester United fan I may be :thumbsup:

 

Awesome progress as well :mellow:

Hehe that's great. yeah but in the first place I'm a premier league fan. I follow the whole league and have a couple teams I like. Qpr, city, chelsea, arsenal. It's probably hard to understand, especially if you are from the UK, that one man enjoys more than 1 club in London. :P

 

Update

2 quests

 

 

And today I landed on the red spot in the SoF (for the very first time!), it was a lame hat

 

 

 

 

But then this happens... Unexpected but I'm hapy I got it

 

It's needed for the quest: animal magnetism. I was close to 51 smith anyway (45 atm) but yeah, now I can do the quest without any training.

 

40 magic

 

Got this also

 

But the very first step required to wear a rune full helm, fire battlestaff and blue d'hide chaps. Not worth the hassle for the very first step.

 

Oh yeah, the whole blue dragon killing is just for training prayer. I only need about 80 dragon bones for 43 prayer, that's my goal at the moment.

 

And to end this day... 1m exp on my 8th trial member day

[Dankaz]

Gratz on 1M xp! Goodluck on your hard clue scroll :)
