tintin113 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 [hide=For music accompaniment, click here and play both at once]Thanks to Howard Shore, Prague's Philharmonic Orchestra and LOTR for the music accompaniment :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUAItQmq-LU&autoplay=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OvmsZ5-gYw&autoplay=1[/hide] So I thought I'd break your computers and make you do a lot of scrolling because I'm kind and considerate like that :D It's taken a long time to get to this point, but I have finally upgraded my blue 90s cape into a patriotically-coloured Max Cape :D I put on this outfit to max out, if you can tell me the significance of every single slot then cookies will be given :wub: Let the image-spam begin! Finally, 14 levels later, I achieved the Max Cape :D :DLiz kindly screenied the game-feed for me which I've editted slightly to fit :D (Who knew getting 14 99s took so long!?) The last set of rocks - cooking - then went to get me my last ever completed Dahmaroc Statue! :D And so the party began!(Deb had had rather a lot to drink and started seeing things that weren't there...)OR WEREN'T THEY!? And then I took a lovely lady back to mine to show her my new statue :wub: Please read if you can, but be warned, there are a lot of pictures![hide=The Story of the prelude]After a year's hiatus, I returned to Runescape just over a year ago, rejoining my beloved comrades in SoDB, whose adventures I had heard so much about on the forums. I have come a long way since then. My stats, after having got involved in a fair bit of F2P DGing (level 63-77): My goal upon returning to RS was to get 99 Slayer, and to help me achieve that there was a new weapon available, and one has to have the best for Slayer :wub: Slayer in hand, I took my new toy to the Dagannoth Kings, throwing myself back into my favourite RS boss! Having spent a long time DKing, much of which was solo tribrid, I started teaching people how to do it for themselves! Among those that I taught were Rock, Maydb0rgo, Fergious, Logic and Quarra... But that didn't mean I didn't have time for group DKing ;) And when I got my Yak, the loots got serious :D Finally, after much Slayer, DK-related or otherwise, I finally achieved my goal :D (True to fashion, I couldn't just have got one achievement at once.) My main goal in RS being complete, I started looking around for other things to do! I started with barrows... Then tried my hand at TDs, a boss I'd always struggled with in the past! Eventually the loot from these adventures added up enough to allow me to buy the king of shields... :wub: ...with which I mercilessly slayed Bandos until he had given up all the treasures he had to offer! More loot meant more shiny gold pieces, and with that came buyables ;) Lo and behold I started skilling! In order to motivate myself for this, I decided that I would keep my skilling varied to evade boredom, and so I started completing my weekly Strange Rock sets. But the skilling didn't blind me to the advantages of my past endeavours, and I managed to cash in on first-day prices at Ganodermic Beasts, totalling ~100m within the first 24h of their release! But Ganodermics became old news, and the skilling continued! With skills, came the ability to complete task sets! (Proof that I once had taskmaster, I can't see myself getting the Ghast familiar any time soon :P) And of course, slaying the odd dangerous beast was never far from my thoughts. But the motivation to skill stayed strong and my skills, thanks to the variety of xp provided by hunting for Strange Rocks, came to all be above level 90! One boss I certainly haven't done enough of, but did at this point anxiously try for the first time, was Nex! If I remember correctly there were a fair few deaths in that room, but I managed to survive my first kill with my life in tact thanks to the expert guidance of Deb :wub: Given that the Statue of Dahmaroc only rewarded me for my non-combat-related endeavours, I had to muster my own motivation to raise my non-combat skills. It seemed only fair, having spent so much time doting on my skills, that I levelled them each to 99 :) The new combat skills came in very handy while trying out PKing with SoDB :D Though my clanmates still managed to best me when it came to Deathmatches ;) But the Slayers of Dangerous Beasts stayed true to their name, and the DKs were always there to be stomped... ...as Lizard found out, when, in just over an hour and a half, we managed to grab almost every drop the DKs had to offer - this had to have been the most memorable trip I'd had since Black Axe first showed me the ropes all those years ago :D Yesterday, I got my last 99 before maxing out - I just couldn't bare having skills so close to 99 with Dungeoneering still to be done! And as I write this, I am sitting on these stats... I have never been closer to a larger RS goal in my life![/hide] Story read or otherwise, I must address my clan, SoDB :wub:To say I wouldn't be here without you is the greatest of understatements. I have been in SoDB for over five years, and I now watch new members coming in and being taught how to DK as I was so long ago! I have seen a lot of great members come and go, and it is easy to get nostalgic, but SoDB is still as great today as it always has been. I've quit and I've come back, and every time SoDB has been there and has been the reason I've kept playing all these years. Thank you all so much :wub: Special thanks to everyone who came, really means a lot! :wub:Also to Mizzo23 and Quester Rob, one of whom just happened to be there and the other who saw it in the feed and came to grats me specially, very nice of them ^.^And to those who PMed, some were hilarious, the others just nice so thanks :)I'd also like to give some credit to Renez for inspiration, and to RuneShark for the idea on how to get many levels at once with the Dahmaroc Statue!
