Day 1:

 

 

 

I've finally accomplished 70 ranged, and have bought karil's and full black dragonhide. I am very happy, and very pleased with this week of hard work. Now comes the test... I have studied fight cave guides (specifically muggi's) for the past week, and have found out the secrets of the fight caves. I am buying the required potions that the guide has specified, and am watching the videos again to make sure I have everything down. Tomorrow is the day I will make my first attempt. Below are pictures of my stats, what I'm bringing on my trip, and what I have equiped. I am determined to do this. I will do this! I will get the fire cape!!!

 

 

 

Stats:

 

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

 

 

 

Equipped:

 

 

 

 

This is what I am going in with, and I hope I am coming out with a fire cape. I'll post again tomorrow, hopefully showing off my new fire cape, but also giving details of the trip. I may even post a video of it. Wish me luck on my first attempt!

 

 

 

Day 2:

 

 

 

Today is the day I will make my first attempt at the fight caves. I watched muggi's "Completing Fight Caves W/o Guthan" videos again for the 5th, making sure the patterns and the tricks are glued in my head. After reading the posts, however, I have decided to postpone the first attempt in order to get some arrows with more power. Thanks to DegenerateX, I have made the decisions to go fight some ankous and get some adamant arrows. I will be doing this for the next hour, and hopeful I'll have over 1.5k adamant arrows.

 

 

 

I managed to get 1k arrows, and am ready to do the fight caves. I am going for the first attempt now. Wish me luck!

 

 

 

... I just made my attempt, and while recording it, the video got too long, so I had to make another one to continue it. Well, someone told me that when you log out after a wave, it saves your progress. It doesn't!!! Now I have to do it all over again, lucky for me! Here you can see the first part of it where I was actually doing ok. Now I need to restock (which will be easy), and I need to get another c bow. Wonderful. Well wish me luck on my 1 and a half attempt. Ha ha, that's clever! \ Back to work!

 

 

 

Here's the video \/ \/ \/

 

 

 

(Having Trouble Uploading, will be done soon)

 

 

 

Day 3:

 

 

 

I have the materials ready again, and I'm off for attempt 1 and a half (\)! I have the time now to do it all in one sitting, so I think if I'm ever going to do it, now is the time. Wish me luck!

 

 

 

I made my first attempt, and was about to be on the wave where there are 2 lvl 180's, but when I killed the lvl 90's and 180 spawned where it could attack me right in the middle of Italy. I tried to run and move it out of the way but it didn't work, and the 180 hit a 23 and then a 19 before I could heal. Bad luck for me, but that won't stop me from trying again. I'm gonna get my supplies and stocked up again and go for attempt #1. Horrible luck... Wish me luck on my next attempt! Below are the videos for the waves I completed. Oh well...

 

 

 

I got another crystal bow, this time full, and I have a mage bow with adamant arrows. I should do better this time, having learned from my mistakes previously. Below are pictures of my inventory, what I have equipped, and my stats, for attempt #2 at the fight caves.

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

 

 

 

Equipped:

 

 

 

 

Stats:

 

 

 

 

This is what I have for attempt #2. I'm feeling lucky this time!

 

 

 

I was doing so well! I was on pace! I had everything under control! What could go wrong!? A glitch!!! I was fighting the 360, with 26 prayer left, and then two 45's come. I accidentally click to attack one, with prayer still on, and the 360 hits a 26 and kills me! What is this!? I mean seriously! I think I may just end this idea now if glitches like this are going to occur... I was doing so well... I will try to upload the video of the glitch so you can see what I mean. Man that's annoying!!!

Man that's annoying!!!

 

 

 

After reviewing the video, I have realized what happened. Apparently the 360's can use melee too, I didn't realize that. I got too close and it attacked me. Oh well... Later I'll decide if I'm going to make another attempt.

 

 

 

I am doing better in my attempts, but so far I am not getting near close enough. I need to step it up a little bit, and really focus. Today I may try one more time if I can restock fast enough.

 

 

 

Day 4:

 

 

 

I didn't have enough time to restock and make another attempt last night, so now I am going this morning. I have the materials ready for another attempt and I am just getting mentally prepared at the moment. In all of my past attempts I have made some fatal mistake that made me lose, and now I have learned from it. I have been making it farther each time, so I hope to make to at least Wave 45.

 

 

 

I made it to Wave 44, so I'm not too terribly disappointed. I know I can do better, so I'm going to make some more changes before my next attempt. Instead of Saradomin Brews, I'm just going to bring sharks, because the Saradomin Brews are just too much of a hassle, reduce my stats, which wastes doses of super restores and range potions. If this is the wrong thing to do, please inform me of this before I make my attempt, because currently, this is the plan. I hope I can make it to Jad in the next attempt.

 

 

 

Day 6:

 

 

 

I didn't have time to play yesterday, so I'm going to make my next attempt today. I don't know what I'm going to sell to get 2 c bows, but I have to decided now... I have a whip, a dragon square, and some other fairly valuable things. I just don't know what to sell... Since I don't profit from this, I don't know how many more times I can try before I am left with nothing. Well, time for attempt number 4, which I hope I can make it Jad.

 

 

 

I have restocked, and have everything I need for another attempt. This time, I've made some changes. Instead of 1 full c bow, and a mage bow and some arrows, I have 2 full c bows, 18 super restores, 3 range potions, and 2 saradomin brews, with 3 lobsters, and a shark. I hate saradomin brews, so this is what I'm going with. Below are the pictures of what I have with me, and what I have equipped for attempt number 4 (stats are the same).

 

 

 

Equipped:

 

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

 

 

 

I hope I will have the best run yet on this attempt, and hopefully make it to Jad. Here we go!

 

 

 

Day 7:

 

 

 

I didn't have enough time to finish my run at the fight caves, so I logged out at a wave with a 360 and a 45. I hope it saved my progress, and I hope I don't get 1 hitted before I can put my prayer on.

 

 

 

On another note, I need to refine my knowledge of what to do with a 360, a 180, and a 90. To do this, I'm going to watch muggi's video again, and then I'm going to continue my run.

 

 

 

I am so dumb... I didn't realize how much health sara brews restored, and I ran out of food and sara brews at the end, so I couldn't heal myself with 2 lvl 90's and a 360. I could have made it so much farther...

 

 

 

On a better note, I have enough materials for another run, so I can try it one to two more times, and hopefully, I can at least make it to jad. This attempt was very disappointing, and I'm angry with myself for not taking sara brews... Oh well, all I can hope for now is a successfull 5th attempt.

 

 

 

I don't know when I'll make another attempt, but I hope sometime today, maybe not. I am starting to become frustrated, and I may just give up soon. I'm running out of things to sell to get the money for the materials, but right now, this is the plan:

 

 

 

This is the final thing I am going to do in Runescape. I am tired of the game, and there aren't enough fun things to do, and I just feel I need to quit. It is a game that distracts me from my schoolwork, and I feel it is time to end this. I need to focus on school, not Runescape, so it is time to quit. Once the summer is over, I will lay my account to rest. I will still be active on the forums, but no longer on Runescape. All I want to do before I quit, is get a firecape, and purchase a small rare that I hope will raise in price. So, right now, my main focus is a fire cape. Once I get that, and I still have enough money left, I will buy an easter egg, and then I will be done. That is the plan.

 

 

 

Day 8:

 

 

 

Well, since I didn't have time to do another run yesterday, I am going to do it now. I have enough materials for 2 more runs, then I will have to make some more money before I can try again. Well, here we go again!

 

 

 

I made it to Wave 34 so far, but I have to stop. I will continue this attempt tomorrow, hopefully making it to Jad.

Good Luck nice invy you have there. Why iron arrows though?

Cheap, but still good. I can make them easier also.

[DegenerateX]

=/ if you want the fire cape your gonna have to put some extra effort into it. I would train a bit on an-kous on the last floor in the Security Stronghold as they drop a lot of adament arrows. + there is a perfect safe spot consisiting of 3 pilars where you might gain an extra mage or range level while your there. Adament = +(3 to 4) of whatever your hitting with irons.

[Sir_Die_Alot]

Good luck, but 188 rune arrows a crystal bow and 3k iron arrows is a bit too much O.O I personally like just 2 crystal bows...But whateva, good luck.

I agree just get 2 C Bows. Saves room and are alot better than iron arrows.

[andybrann]

hmm i dunno most guides ive seen recommend 80+range and 60+ prayer but if u gonna make it with that lvls i think u should bring 2 c bows insteadt of 188 rune arrows and 3k iron and 1 c bow but good luck anyway :D

I contimplated that idea for a while, but decided against it, because if I want to try it a second time, I won't have enough money if I buy another c bow for this attempt. But to continue on DegenerateX's idea, I think I may go to ankous to get some addy arrows; it's a fine idea, thanks.

[SirHartlar]

Good luck, I hope you get it!

[Sir_Die_Alot]

It will save your progress if you click "Log Out" one time and then finish off the wave that you are on...If you read the chat box when you clicked log out it would have said that :wall:

I did read the chat box, I finished the wave, and then logged out. I logged back in and it started me at wave 1 again. Explain that.

[doom_leader1]

Good Luck Hope you make it! Leave a comment on my blog if you want.

[michiel2]

Keep trying, you'll get it sometime. :anxious:

[beniscool218]

I'm back! This is not a bump of an old topic, it's still new and I'm going to start trying again. During the summer, I lost the ability to play because the only computer I could play on got it's hard drive wiped, and it took a month to fix. It still doesn't play Runescape, but I got a brand new computer with XP and all the good stuff. So I'm back! This is also why I haven't been posting lately. Wish me luck!
