ooberman Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Since my first try at getting the much sought after fire cape I have spent so much trying to get one. Today was my 7th go, and yet again, that darn jad killed me. After the first time of trying, I have got to jad every time but he seems to catch me out every time. So far I have spent. 3.78 million on crystal bows 1.2 million on an archers ring 1.18 million on super restore pots 240k on sara brews 65k on ranging pots 2.2 million on veracs helm 170k on karils top 10k on snakeskin boots I'll discount veracs skirt because I had that as a barrows drop, and Ill also discount armour repair. So altogether (so far) I have spent the grand total of 8845000 gp on trying to get my fire cape, and I am still wearing an obby cape. I find this quite funny because at my level, I should be able to get one, I just lose it when that ugly mother appears in front of me. So tell me, how much money have you or did you spend on getting a fire cape. oober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharockslayer Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Allot, after 14 times I got it. So I guess... round 20 mil, as I did buy veracs helm and all those darn c bows.

ooberman Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 :shock: ok, maybe I don't feel so bad now. Do you get to jad every time now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_star67 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've tried once and got upto wave 59 and then died Guthans was being a girl (For a better lack of words) and not healing me. My advice, make your own stuff. I'm sorry if that sounds blunt, but it's true. For my attempt I earnt my own prayer potions by killing chaos druids. I earnt my own sara brews by getting a friend to make them with my ingredients. I merchanted stuff to buy the crystal bow recharge, and a few of my clan members donated some runes and super restore pots. Thanks guys XD What you also have to ask is: Why do you keep dying? Is it a connection loss? Is it a lack of skills? Or is it just bad luck? Keep trying, Read some guides, keep at it. Trying to get a new sig... Idea's anyone?

la la la Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I have spent 0 gp and don't care to spend any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Alot of money, 6m. I've only tried it 2 times and failed. Stupid game keeps crashing now and then. Imagine what better things I could of got with that 6m. :( No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooberman Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 mmm, why do I keep dying? Most of the time it's my fault due to clicking the wrong prayer and then failing to recover from the hit. But a few times he has spawned where I cannot even see him and I'm dead before I even get a good couple of shots in. I did get him to half life a couple of tries ago, then the healers come and I made a mistake and that was it, he slapped me silly :D I will keep trying though, I've just got to have me one of those capes. Thanks for the replies everyone. oober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I spent about 2m though in total, aready had k top and full v, just need the seed and cbow recharges. Got it on the 4th attempt : Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

meb Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I used the cheap man's outfit (proselyte+Black d'hide). I got my cape after 5 tries. Crystal bows 900k 900k -- 720k 540k -- 360k 180k -- 180k Had a full one left I didn't use for training -- 180k Had a full one left after killing Jad. 3960k on crystal bows. Pots: 30 range pots 3k ea=90k Sara brews: Basically free, someone made them from my nests and toadflax. Super restores: +-1200k on super restores About 5 million. Worth it? Yes. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Peronix Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, enough to have two crystal bows and at the lowest recharge cost. So around 6 million. But the important thing is that I have my fire cape now, and I'll never have to set foot in that hellish place again (never taking it PKing, dhraoking, or DKing, very slim chance I'll ever loose it).

ooberman Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Looks like It's not uncommon to try this many times then, I thought most people got it after a couple of tries. Well done to all that have got it, and those who have yet to get it, keep on trying, as I will. 8-) oober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUMINATOR17 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 But the important thing is that I have my fire cape now, and I'll never have to set foot in that hellish place again (never taking it PKing, dhraoking, or DKing, very slim chance I'll ever loose it). EXACTLY ya and i thought that i messed up alot and it took me a lot of tries to get the darn thing... anyways took me about 5k bolt racks 100 pray pots 20 super restores 10 or so sara brews and a set of armor recharge prices for guthans and karils xbow then i got smart and got some veracs parts and used them and walla got it in 1 try ...if you use this set up and u die period with it more the once (assuming youve made it to jad before)...then give up on the fire cape, because you prolly wont get it Doesn't much simplier then this... using full guthans of course and fury and ranger boots if you can afford them as well...so sell your rare and buy it back later CLICK - 770th to 99 SLAYER 2/4/08 - 204th to 99 Summoning 7/1/08 CLICK[Hide=List of Drops That I haven't updated in Years but want to keep in my Sig anyways...]VISAGE DROP - 12/06/073 Duo Sara Hilts, 3 Duo Arma Hilts, 2 Trio Arma Hilts.Dark Bows: (11) Dragon Boots: (50!)Whip Drops: (42!!!)
