99 Runecrafting and Barbarian assault.

Hello again, once again I’ve set a goal, this one larger than others. I’ve been wanting a 99, and a ton of people complained that ‘99 fletching is to noobiesh’, and that a trimmed fletching cape is so rare… OK. I’ll get something better, well they thought fletching, cooking, combatals, and that stuff was to noobiesh, I’ve had enough, and I’m going to get a 99 that takes alot of time, patience, and work. 99 Runecrafting. Lance and I had a long conversation of 99s, he had chose mining as his 99 he was getting, I was amazed at his work, in my opinion – Mining&Runecrafting are the two longest skills to train. Well I didn’t want to mine all the way to 99, I don’t enjoy mining all of my time on runescape, so that was off the list. Lance suggested prayer, but theres no way you can even make your money back, it would take 5 million coins for me to get 70 prayer, from 70 to 99, well…. a ton. Although the prayer cape is beautiful, the emote is grand, and just using the prayers is awesome. But, no way to make money, I’m poor, and can’t make but about 100k per day. So I decided runecrafting. Well, I knew with all my heart that all of the B&Bers would pick on me, make stupid bets, and then ruin me again, as they did with the rest of my goals. I’ve tried 99 fletching, they said I wouldn’t get past 85, I’m 92. I tried 99 hunter, said I would quit before 50, I’m 56. I thought (didn’t try) about getting 99 in fishing. Well this time I can’t bail out, I made a blog post about it. To my lovely readers – come to my house in real life and murder me if I bail out before level 91. At 91 theres no way I’m bailing. I have made a few bets with a friend and he now owes me 3 hours per day of runecrafting or barbarian assault (which I will explain later), so I should get my plan to work. My plan would be to get 50 using the ZMI, then play the minigame to get a ton of tokens, I’ll spend them on the nature altar and/or the law altar tablets. Nature for 91+ and law from 54+. I don’t know exact plan, but I think I’ll do mainly the ZMI unless my friend is not there – then I have to use abyss because I get beat up to much at the ZMI without my friend tanking. Now onto the barbarian assault.

Originally the only reason I started this minigame was only so I could get the penance gloves, I had my friend teach me how to play and I loved it. I then realized that it was so fun in this game, I’d gather a great team and we would take on the queen – and we did. Sadly, it was to much for some of the lower leveled ones on our team, but they where the best team I’ve had, and I thank them. After I got my penance gloves, my friend told me that I’d absolutely love a fighters torso. Alright, well I’ll do it. I’ve now enjoyed it so much – that I’ve decided to also go and get levels in healing, because healing is awesome. So far I’m only level 2. After I get the torso I’ll keep leveling. Back onto a bit of runecrafting subject…

I’ve been thinking up ideas for a runecrafting outfit.. So far its a spotted cape (can’t wear spottier), boots of lightness, penance gloves, and if in the abyss a runite pickaxe. I’m planning after getting 50 runecrafting to get an omni-talisman and making it into an omni-tiara. This’ll be awesome, if you have any suggestions, tell me. Now after a bunch of research, it looks like I’ll play 1000+ games of The Great Orb Project (runecrafting guild) to get tablets if I do from 50+ using tablets, but I don’t think I will, it’ll take 650 games from level 91 to get 99 using natures & tablets (this research includes the amount pouches hold, summoning not included.) Hmm… I don’t know about that. Might be to hard, might be easier to use the glories&abyss. We’ll find out. Wish me luck in my goals ~Thanks, Kat.

New Goal: Raven’s Egg.

EGG ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!! Check below! Aug-20-2008!

After a while of dreaming of a raven as a pet, on runescape of course, I’ve decided I want to get a Raven’s egg first, before 50 summoning. After much research, I’ve seen the status, the times, the amounts, and the percent of success in different catagories. So far, the most success was found at barbarian assault at the willows, but yet it still took thousands. I’m willing to go to this extreme for a nest holding the Raven’s egg. It is said that the lower your combat and summoning level is, the more easily a chance of getting a Raven’s egg, seeing many level three skillers have more than a single nest in their bank, which their combat is the lowest and their summoning is also. To bad that I’m 86 combat and 32 summoning! But hey, it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll also keep a diary log here, and continue writing on it nightly. Hopefully I’ll have this nest within a few days, and I might get a few valuable levels in woodcutting.

Started goal: 62 woodcutting.
Current: 66 woodcutting.

Day 1. August 18, 2008.
Today I decided to try this. I’ll be working my hardest. Started off in rimmington cutting willow trees and selling to bank, achieved about 2 nests, nothing really good. Researched a bit only to find out that its better to cut in Barbarian Assault. Now I cut there. They where right about one thing! Tons and tons of nests!
Total logs cut (approx): 1103
Total nests: 6
Hours spent: No clue, not many.
62 – 65 wc

Day 2: August 19, 2008.
Today i’ll try using Oaks. Some say its better than willows, other argue its not. We’ll find out.
Update: Tried using Oaks, but came out with like 500+ logs and 0 nests. What a waste of time, are you kidding me? Got to kingdom, made 200k today, and very proud of that, and that was pure profit!!! Well, going back to willows later. I think I’ll finish that theme I need to make for CKF today. See you later.
Total logs: Oak – 100+
Total nests: Oaks-0.
Also got 66 woodcutting on the oaks

August 20, 2008
I got bored yesterday, did other things. today I’ll really start working on it again. A friend of mine told me he got a raven’s egg on the 12th drop from a willow tree in draynor. Strangely with a Ring of Wealth. Strange, huh? Seeing research proves that the ring of wealth reduces chance, but I’ll try it anyways. So far I’m doing good. My 6th or 7th log was a nest. Not egg, sadly
Going to edit in what I’m wearing at the bottom of the post. !Update! Off to EXTREMELY great start!!! I got 3 nests so far in say 10 minutes! Woot!

FORTH NEST CONTAINED THE EGG… RING OF WEALTH HELPED. Thank you to poisson gold for telling me all about that, now I have my egg. Wood cut TOTAL- 1342 willows
Nests: about 12.
Summoning level 32
Woodcutting level 62-66
Location found: draynor willows – ring of wealth, boots of lightness, spotted cape, rabbits foot, rune axe. Woot!

To the side of woodcutting I’ll continue checking my kingdom and collecting my daily sand. Other than that I’ll be woodcutting, possibly taking a break to sell off nests and such for money to fill kingdom (as you know I keep it at exactly 1,000,000 gold in my coffers, thats 75,000 a day)

Thanks for reading ~Kat.

Update: What I’m wearing. Strung rabbits foot, boots of lightness, spotted cape, and rune axe -nothing else unless specified in the post.

Runescape goals/accomplishments&1 year of runescape!!!

Yes, it’s been a year. In a few days or weeks, It’ll be one full year of RuneScape!! Although half my runescape time I was only level 20, until my father joined and passed my levels instantly, thats when I started. In December of ‘07 I got Runescape Membership, as a birthday present. Since then I’ve been working on levels, and I’ve gotten fairly far. But still, compared to most, my stats are nothing. I’m still poor, and low level compared to most.

Well over to the left is my current stats, all gained in one year, kinda bad. My current goals are:
All stats 50+
99 Fletching
50 Summoning
70 defence
My accomplished goals:
70  attack
85 combat
A max hit of 20 (DBA + Spec)

Not many accomplished, because not many of my goals are skill related. But what goals i do have skill related are hard to get. Wish me luck accomplishign these goals!!!

To the right is my current Runescape Character, usually I have a runite kite shield, but in this case I have a mirror shield, as I’m collecting Summoning Charms at this time. I usually balance my time between my To-Do daily/weekly runescape list, which would be: Tears of Guthix(weekly, tues), Kingdom(daily, keeping 100% popularity and a stable one million coffers.) and skill training plus a small bit of combat training time. Other parts of the time I’m training my other stats. Lately, Runecrafting, Herblore, Farming, and Mining.

To the left is my bank picture, I have collected up a ton of items, mainly trash, but some good.

It has been a good year of runescape, I’ve had bad times, good times, and there will be many more times to come hopefully. I have to give my thanks to RSB&B, without you, I would be nothing. I have had so much fun in this year, I’d say it is one of the best years of my life when it comes to internet. I’ve learned so much, and enjoyed every bit of it. I wish to continue playing runescape and getting better, and hopefully will accomplish some more goals. Sooner or later I’ll also clean out my bank.

oh and, if you are wondering, I have 119 quest points, and 390 songs unlocked. I have every emote unlocked except Zombie Walk, Skillcape, and Air Guitar.I have 1 Million in my kingdom, my Max Hit in Melee is 20, Dragon Battleaxe + spec, max hit in Magic is 25, Iban’s blast, max hit in range is 5, willow shortbow and iron arrows.

Thanks for reading, wish me luck on my new goals&accomplishments. Please Comment on my stats,bank picture, and such. Suggest all you want!!!

I’d also like to thank all my friends for their support. Thanks guys.~Kat.
