This will be my fire cape blog, from now until I get it.

 

 

 

First off, my stats:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was f2p for 10 months, and have only been a member for 1, so that's why all my members stats are low.

 

 

 

I'm also constantly poor, too poor for Guthans, so I plan to use muggi's guide, although I'm too poor for some of the equipment.

 

 

 

Here's my current plan, and costs:

 

 

 

Verac's helm - 2800k

 

Kharil's leathertop - 250k

 

Verac's kilt - Already have

 

Barrows gloves - Already have

 

2 Crystal bows - 1800k total

 

Unholy Symbol - Craft

 

Snakeskin boots - Have

 

Ring of Recoil - Have

 

Legends Cape - Have

 

3 ranging pots - Need to find person to make

 

6 saradomin brews - Need to find person to make

 

18 super stat restores - 225K

 

 

 

Total cost: 5075K, or about 5M

 

 

 

I only have about 100k now, so I have some serious money making to do. My ranged is also slightly low for a cape, so I decided to do them both at once, and raise range on blue dragons.

 

 

 

According to the tipit calc, I need to range almost exactly 1000 blue dragons to 75 range. I plan to sell the hides at 2.2K each (2.2M) and bones at 2.6K each (2.6M) for a total of 4.8M. I will do all clues along the way, and likely get that last little bit from them. If I get extra (Robin Hood hat FTW!) I will buy ranger boots and possibly an archer ring.

 

 

 

I also want 80 hp before trying, just one more level. If I don't get it off blues ranging, I will get it from greens meleeing raising defence. I also plan to get 60 prayer (1 more level) before my first attempt. Hopefully I will get a defence level and a hitpoints level at the greens, then will ectofunctus some of the bones to 60, and sell the rest of the bones and hides for more money.

 

 

 

And so I'm off to ranging blues in the ogre enclave. Wish me luck.

 

 

 

Day 1 of ranging: I reached 71 ranged today. I also got 1 lvl 3 clue, which was a real pain. First it sent me to the wildy agility course, then to the elf lands, then to the greater demons, then back to the elf lands, and finished in the dark warriors castle. I got 3K cash, a rune dagger, a rune pick, and rune legs. It was my 6th level 3 clue, and I still haven't gotten better than a sara page 4.

 

 

 

End of Day 1

 

Ranged: 71/75

 

Dragons killed: 192/1000

 

Money from hides and bones: 921K

 

HP: 79/80

 

Prayer: 59/60

 

 

 

Day 2 of ranging: Today I reached 72 ranged. Almost halfway there! I also got a relatively easy level 3 clue that gave me rune legs, rune full, and a rune pick. Thats not bad, but after 7 lvl 3 clues I'd think that I'd get at least one special treasure trails item. Oh well, maybe the next one. I also got about 170 blues killed today.

 

 

 

End of day 2

 

Ranged: 72/75

 

Dragons killed: 372/1000

 

Money from hides and bones: 1748K

 

HP: 79/80

 

Prayer: 59/60

 

 

 

Day 3

 

 

 

Today, my whole day turned around in an instant. I did get about 200 dragons killed and got a level to 73 ranged, but I did something really stupid. I had accidentally gotten blasted by dragonfire (19 damage) when a dragon spawned while I was still retrieving arrows, so I wasn't at full health to begin with. But then I got back to my safespot and decided to special the dragon. So I clicked on the special bar, right clicked on the dragon, and clicked "Attack Ogre shaman". Before my guy even launched his first arrow I tried to stop him, knowing about the shaman's deadly powers, but it was too late. I got hit twin 30s as my specials hit, and because of the dragonfire I was at exactly 60 health. Just perfect. I hit the ground and spawned in Fally missing my legends cape, snakeskin boots, 1200 steel arrows, magic shortbow, and black dragonhide top and bottom. I bought back what I lost, and decided to just do 1 more load then call it a night. The last dragon of that load dropped a clue, which I've never had good luck with, but I decided to do it anyway. After several clues it sent me to the axe hut in 56 wildy, and I made it there safely, killed my zammy wizard, got my chest... And its my best yet. Magic Shortbow, rune dagger, two rune picks, and a black cavlier!

 

 

 

So I ran out of the wildy, made it out without getting p'ked, and switched to world 2. I thought that the black cavlier was worth about 350k, so when somebody offered to buy for 1.05M I was pleasantly surprised. I looked around, and found the place where ranger boots are sold. All the people were selling for about 1.1M, but I managed to get a pair for 1M even.

 

 

 

Now when I try for a fire cape, I will be using Ranger Boots. :D

 

 

 

End of Day 3

 

Dragons killed: 564/1000

 

Money from hides/bones: 2650K

 

Ranged Level: 73/75

 

Prayer level: 59/60

 

Hitpoints Level: 79/80

 

 

 

Day 4

 

I didn't have much time online, so only got a few dragons killed. No levels, no clues, just boring killing. I'm currently 40k xp to 74 ranged, so I hope to get it tomorrow. I spent alot of my time today trying to get a grappling hook to speed up banking in yanille, but after over an hour of getting materials and looking for smithers and fletchers, I found out that a finished grappling hook is untradeable. You need 59 fletching to make it, and although that doesn't seem like alot (I have lots of skills much higher), I decided that it would take too much time away from ranging blues to get it now. Maybe later.

 

 

 

I am thinking about the uses some of the enchanted bolts (blood, super poison, and water wave ones especially) might have for the fight caves. I'll give other people more time to test them before deciding.

 

 

 

End of Day 4

 

Dragons killed: 696

 

Money from hides/bones: 3341K (+ranger boots)

 

Ranged level: 73/75

 

Prayer level: 59/60

 

Hitpoints level: 79/80

 

 

 

Day 5

 

Today was my worst day yet. I got a clue that gave about 20 laws, 25 firelighters, and black d'hide legs. Then, once I got back to the blue dragons, I had a most unfortunate instance of lag. The lag hit before I reached my safespot, and while I was in my full ranging gear. By the time it wore off, I was in lumby, with messages about being hit by dragonfire 6 times. I lost my legends cape, magic shortbow, about 1.5k iron arrows, ring of wealth, black d'hide top and bottom, AND MY RANGER BOOTS!

 

 

 

I bought another black d'hide top, and got more of everything else I lost out of my bank except for my lost wealth and ranger boots. I decided to use my old snakeskin boots and a ring of life (maybe if I get lag again it'll save me).

 

 

 

Anyway, now I'm back to ranging more blues, killing them for more money. I will now make my first attempt at a fire cape without ranger boots unless I happen to get lucky from another treasure trail.

 

 

 

I got 74 ranged right after going back to blues, and decided to do roving elves. I finished it no problems, and got a crystal bow 2/10 from it. With my crystal bow, I went back to the blues, and hit a 15 on rapid with the bow 2/10. Thats a good sign about what happen in the caves with a 10/10 bow and a ranging potion. Anyway, I finished off that bow really fast, and got a clue. It wasn't too hard, and gave me 2 saradomin page 1s along with some laws and 12 sharks. I believe I can sell the pages for 100k each, so the 200k isn't the robin I was hoping for, but still quite a decent reward.

 

 

 

Current dragons killed: 864

 

Money from hides/bones: 4147K (-ranger boots :()

 

Ranged level: 74/75

 

Prayer level: 59/60

 

Hitpoints level: 79/80

 

 

 

End of Day 5

 

 

 

Day 6

 

 

 

Today was a great day. I reached 1K drags today, and sold my hides (2k each) and bones (2.5k each), giving me 4.5M. I bought veracs helm for 2.65M, and kharils top for 150k. I sold some extra p pots and sharks that I had, and recharged both crystal seeds that I had. Then I bought some super stat restores, and some saradomin brews. I had my ranged pots made a few days ago, so now I have ALL my equipment for the caves. Now I just need to get that hp and prayer level.

 

 

 

So once again I'm off to ranging blues. This time, I'm only going after 80 killed, luckily.

 

 

 

End of Day 6

 

All equipment bought

 

Range level: 75/75

 

Blues killed: 40/80

 

Prayer: 59/60

 

Hitpoints: 79/80 (8K more xp)

 

 

 

Score with jad: 0 0

Thanks to:

 

Muggiwhplar for his awesome guide

 

Mistressoftheflail for helping me get the picture working

 

Rahkurwrld for helping me try to get grappling hooks

Good luck on your goal...I think theres a space at .jpg at the end there, try fixing the space and see if that works.

 

please don't post things like this, they are considered pure spam =;

 

 

 

anyways, good luck, and i hope to see another member of the community reach the amazing goal of a firecape :mrgreen:

Edit: Why isn't the picture working?

 

Because you did 'http://123pichosting.com/images/1588stats July 27.JPG', when it should be [iM*G]http://123pichosting.com/images/1588stats%20july%2027.JPG[/iM*G]

 

 

 

See:

 

My bad :wall: =D>

Thanks for the help flail.

 

 

 

Blog has been updated. I want to make my first attempt within a week.

BUMP

 

 

 

Updated up to day 5 now.

 

 

 

Come on people, I want suggestions, criticisms, ratings, anything!

 

 

 

Also, any advice about taking new enchanted bolts (if any) would be highly appreciated.

KOOL GUILD BUT FULL GUTHAN WOULD HELP INCREDIABLY WITH FIRE CAPE -srry didnt see caps was on

Actually in my experince it is easier without guthans *shock* follow muggiwhplar's guide and you shoul be find, also i had the same stats as you when i got it so your good to go had 76 range tho might want to raise that :thumbsup:

Thanks for the support, diddy.

 

 

 

I plan to pay for each attempt by ranging more dragons, getting 1 level between each failed attempt.

 

 

 

Also, if I get a robin hood hat from a clue, should I get another pair of ranger boots and an archer ring, or save a little bit more for a fury?

Blog updated.

 

 

 

Now I have 75 ranged and all my equipment.

 

 

 

Now I need 8k more xp to 80 hp and 25k more xp to 60 prayer.

 

 

 

I also plan to go to castle wars and hear what retribution sounds like to help block his mage attacks.

Good luck, but you really should be focusing more on money.

 

 

 

I mean, what if your attempts fail? Back to the drawing board.... :uhh:

Wow, i really hope you get the cape. Barrows gloves in just 1 month of members. Thats alot :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Good Luck \

Good luck, but you really should be focusing more on money.

 

 

 

I mean, what if your attempts fail? Back to the drawing board.... :uhh:

 

 

 

If I fail, I go kill more blues.

 

 

 

A second attempt won't cost close to as much because I'll already have most of my equipment.

 

 

 

It'll cost about 300k in pots and 900k to repair both bows. A third attempt will only cost 360k to repair both bows, and 660k total.

 

 

 

So now I should be able to afford at least 2 attempts a week.

 

 

 

And thanks for all the support. Keep it coming. :D

Hey if it costs you over 180k to recharge your c-bows then you should probably use xbow cause its gonna be overall cheaper :
