Doing level 3 clues, stressfull, only sometimes rewarding

[sjefderat]

I did between 50 and a 100 level 3 clue scrolls in the last 7 weeks, maybe more. I can remember having 3 clue scrolls on 23 kurask killed.

 

They are fun to start with, require a lot of preparation and concentration.

 

So I had 15 rune picks, 15 rune axes, 10 rune b axes, 15 rune longs, 15 rune plates.

 

Bout the same number of black d hide chaps and bodies and mage short bows.

 

Sara plate, (g) plate, zammy skirt and helm. (g) legs, (t) legs, (t) kite, (h) kite.

 

Enchanted hat, skirt and a pirate hat.

 

Lately I started keeping my clue scrolls until the slayer assignment was finished.

 

So now my luck started changing: I did 101 blue drags and the last 1 gave me a scroll, I did it although many people on the server, so high risk in wild.

 

Same rune stuff, nothing special.

 

Now 109 Abberant specters: The next to last one dropped a clue, so I start thinking, if all my assignments end with a clue I am loving it.

 

So I said to myself, lets do the clue scroll tomorrow on a near empty server.

 

And then, what the heck these clue have no clue in giving real good stuff (I dropped a level 2 clue earlier).

 

Start: greater demons house close to runite rocks, I think lets travel from edgeville this time, streight up and cut west just before lava. (First time I will try that way.)

 

I am running that way and start passing green drags that I cant avoid anymore because... I was watching my inventory while running and kept wondering why I did not take fury off before venturing in deep wild, I also had a charged glory with me and a dds and more stuff.

 

2 green drags hit me, a 0 and a measly 32. Phew... I go in greater demon place, and while I am looking at a level 90 and 92 (I am level 95) outside this place to the west a greater treats me to an 11 and a 5. Dig, zammy mage hits me another 13... nice going, I never bring food for a clue in wild. But hey 27 hits left, that is not bad and the next clue is in jungle. Run to level 30 wild (I ventured even deeper in wild passing the deadly spiders to avoid those 2 dudes that I saw all the time in mini map from greaters) and teleport out.

 

Go Shilo, beat sara dude (he hits 20, 20, 17, 11, 13 good I brought 5 sharks and got my hits up to full). He is so nice to give a 30 natures drop, and I go darn, usually a good sara priest or zammy mage drop means bad treasure.

 

Next up is Gabooty in Tai Wannai village, hey lucky, I am close, so I go there, next is Kangai Mau. So I think at least it is easy going, not to far away and no wild (people who do not know were to find him: he is in the parrot/shrimp something inn in the north of Karamja).

 

Then of course the volcanos at agility circuit...

 

I go to lever in Ardy and 3 guys are standing there, I think lets get a head start and run for it.

 

A guy is waiting on the other end, a level 111. Het hits me down to 10 hitpoints before I can pull the lever again and he also poisons me. I eat the one strawberry for 6 hits and immediately get hit for 6 from poison. I thought: damned I am gonna drop this clue right here, right now (remember 10 hits left and poisoned for 6!).

 

Then I remembered that I made the exception of bringing a duel ring (1) with me,I never did that before! tele castle wars, eat strange fruit (restore energy and cure poison), and load up on strawberries.

 

Tele edgeville, Run west eating strawberries till full health and drinking super energies to keep running.

 

Run all the way to the west gate in wild and to the lovely (noone around volcanoes). Dig with prayer prepared, no zammy wizard in this place? very exceptional! I check my new clue, volcanoes? A bug? did I do something wrong? Dig again, again no zammy wizard, what is wrong???

 

What will this casket give? This is the stupidest I ever behaved on a clue and now the clue start behaving stupid on me or what?

 

So I open the casket and of course I get my treasue in the deepest of wild, how stupid can I be? But well, same old, same old, rune long, black chaps, 47 bloods, a rune axe and a Robin :?: :?: unbelief that I finally got what I wanted :lol: :D and even more unbelief that I was stupid :oops: :twisted: enough to open it in the deepest of wild knowing that the lever was blocked by at least 4 people.

 

So I run all the way west and yes the ice giants and ice warriors beat my stuffing out of my guts a 5 and an 11, but with the Robin in inventory I felt so vulnerable...

 

I forgot to bank the glory, so my ordeal was over when I reached level 30 wild with no more problems and I teled to edgeville for a new slayer assignment from my favourite slayer master Vannaka.

 

Woohoo, I got a Robin from a clue, woohoo, yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa. :P :P :P :P

[T. Skill]

Wow lol. That would've been insanely scary for me. You're lucky that you had that duel ring with you lol. Congrats on getting a robin hat. Maybe when I'm stronger I'll start fighting monsters that drop level 3s and maybe I'll get lucky too :P.

[harryp0tt3rules]

AWSOME!, your a good story teller too :thumbsup:

[Lighs]

Great story- anyone who does a lot of level 3 clues can sympathize with it. By the way, when I have a wildy clue coordinate I usually bring a one-click tele, spade, sextant, watch, compass, dds (to kill the wizard), the clue, a ring of life, and an antidragon shield, nothing else. I figure that if and when I get attacked by a pker (which hasn't happened yet), I can drop all but 4 items and use protect item, keeping my clue. I always turn on protect from magic when I fight the zammy wizard and avoid places with aggressive monsters. It's still a nerve-wracking experience, but that makes it a tiny bit safer.

Lvl 3 clues are da bomb, I always stop my slayer assignment to complete them. They usually only take like 15 to 20 minutes to finish and even the worst rewards are worth the effort. But when you do get a nice drop like a robin it makes your day. \ So far Ive gotten 2 robins out of like 200 lvl 3s ive done.

 

 

 

Gratz on the robin man :D hope there are more coming to ya.

[Revenga]

I myself am perfectly fine with getting some rune armours from clues, only because I used to collect all the ones I got from green dragons (Sold em when I got to 5 full sets. ( :twisted: ) I enjoy doing clues, it sure beats the old patternt of, kill green dragons, do barrows, mage steel dragons, repeat. But I personally never get anything TO good (Best i've gotten was some god armours, non over 1mil.)

 

 

 

But grats on the Robin, glad you didn't get pked. :thumbsup:

Well, another partial story of a level 3 clue, again to do with the lever:

 

coming back from volcano dig several people close to the web to the lever to Ardougne.

 

I slice the web and run maybe 10 paces, someone entangles me. Starts slicing me up and kills me.

 

I run to fally bank, get crystal bow and ardy tele, run to lever.

 

Go through, pick up: family crest gloves, clue, spade, sextant, watch, map, boots of lightness, zammy book and such stuff as i usually take for clue digging.

 

My loss: 2 super energies

 

Pull the lever to Ardy. I then ask the PKer who is there in Ardy to pull the lever, he has 2 friends there as well.

 

In the meantime he had checked my stats and he refuses (95 mage and range... :ohnoes: ), of course, I had nothing on me but crystal bow, but he could not know that.

 

So I vented my rage at him, called him some stuff making sure it was nothing reporteable and went on to solve the clue...

[Anti]

Nicely told, good material....all in all, great job.

 

 

 

I'm talking about me, of course.

 

 

 

:P. But yours was good too. :)

[Matok]

good story and, as some1 who also done more then 100 lvl 3 clues, u had my empathy all the way to the volcano

 

One small tip,did you try the trollheim shortcut?

 

westest wildy lvl 20, a nice&soft landing spot for starting clue journeys, ideal for Bandits, black castle, forgetten cemetry, chaos altar and others..

[belg1990]

[mememe513]

[drokles]

Nice one, seems to me that slayer missions are a pretty good way of getting clues without wasting time lol. #-o
