Aw Nuts

I don't think I'll be able to make my 99th strength level also my 1337th total level anymore.

Here's the thing, I have 97 strength and 1334 total levels now. Assuming I don't level anything other than strength, I will have 1336 total levels with 99 strength. That leaves me with 1 more level I can screw around with, and my hitpoints is awfully close to a level (90k more).

Unless.. there's still hope! But I can't be bothered to calculate it this early. Oh well, we'll just have to see when the time comes.

The Things That Amuse Me

T'was a lazy Sunday playing Runescape/Sim City/cycling yesterday. In the morning, I decided to do something different and went to complete my Lumbridge/Draynor tasks.

My first time on this money-making gimmick.

Nothing much to completing all 3 levels of the tasks, except maybe a shitload of bank trips, seeing how forgetful I am at these things. Anyway I thought the Explorer's Ring would come in very handy in the near future till I almost friggin' low alched my Ss.

It was after one of those sewer suicides, I was putting back on my stuff. I did this whole fast-action clicking thing so I could get back to killing spiders asap, when I clicked on my ring and then my Ss, AND THEN I REALISED THE OPTION SAID 'Choose item to low alch' or something to that extent, I damn near jumped out my chair. I look over to my beautiful Ss and it was still there. The 'Choose item to low alch' or something to that extent still lingered on the top left corner of my screen. I was so relieved that I missed the Ss in my flurry of clicks. I immediately dumped the ring back into the bank and replaced it with my Ring of Dueling (5).

Anyway with that over, I went back to train and got...

In time for clan wars too!

I'm so close to 99 I can already taste it.

Recently, I've seen some interesting weapons/headgear I would wish to know the names of.

Photobucket
What is that knarly helmet he's wearing? No just kidding I mean his weapon.

Photobucket
What is that hat's name!

Apart from that, I also find the new 'Choose the stat you wish to be advanced' window oversized.

Photobucket
I really don't like the childish feel this thing gives out. I understand there are new, young players who can't be f***ed to read and follow the tutorial island's instructions carefully (enter Lumbridge guides) but not all of us are retarded.

Oh well moving on. That day I saw this awesome guy with an awesome name.

Photobucket

Didn't talk to him though. All I could do was stand back and gaze at the name. I wish I could change my Rs name. It would be "The Froo". I know I have this Gunz account that's called Froo. How 1337. And speaking of 1337, I plan to make my 99 strength also my 1337th total level.

The transitions of this post has been very choppy. I don't know how to transition into the next few pictures.

I lol'ed at this one.

Pretty awesome, eh.

Tables Turned and the Free Monies

Since I got my Saradomin sword, things have been pretty good for me strength-training wise. I'm earning exp faster than ever, with about 900 - 1000 exp per min (up from a measley 700). It really is a godsend. I've said that before once and didn't realise the pun I made, but I just realised I made a pun.

Also I've stopped training Slayer completely. I thought my basilisk task was good because I wouldn't be able to wield my Sara (and so it would be available to rent out to people) but then earning 15k/hr in place of fast strength exp isn't worth it this point of time.

Though, in a week of renting, I've made about 350k. Pretty easy money I would say, but it will take me a long time if I ever want to earn back the 8.9 million gp I spent on it. And with so many idiots calling me a scammer or having trade limits of 3 frickin' thousand it's getting tougher to continue the renting.

Still I am content with my 350k because it is like free monies.

So I've Done Some Stuff..

.. In the last two months. Sorry for the total lack of updates, but feast your eyes on some screenshots that summarizes my Runescape activity since my absence from this blog!

I died while doing Smoking Kills but no matter! I like the new Slayer points system. I have since gotten 65 slayer, up from 48 (I think). Anyway after the death I decided not to buy my obby cape back so now I wear a red team cape.

I saw this auto-er getting owned by Cap'n Hand. Hahaha.

Since item lending came out, I've borrowed a Saradomin Sword from Tiz and a yellow party hat from Tim.

Photobucket
Yeahh.

Oh and we kinda spammed our clan name to Zezima.

Also I have bypassed a lot of my 99 strength deadlines with 95 strength! I plan to get 99 strength in August, at this rate I'm going, it will take me about 40 days. I'm quite proud of myself because it is painful to endure hours training at the dropless spiders. "No lifer nerd!" Meh.

I've decided to get myself a Saradomin Sword, after experiencing its powers thanks to Tiz. Its price has begun rising again so this morning I put up an offer for max price. If it sells, I will be left with about 600k, but I don't mind because it seems like a good investment. Plus if it goes back to it's former glory of 11 mil, I will be able to make a 3 mil profit and not forgetting the strength exp I'll be getting.

Ninety Nine and Reminiscent

Just now I saw Tiz with his new 3-digit combat level. Congratulations Tiz! I'm very happy for you, truly I am, but it's a matter of 4 days (I predict!) that I catch up. Hehe naw just joking, it will be in 2 days.

Seeing a good friend get a 3 digit combat level is quite... er.. memory triggering. I remember some years back when I discovered Tim had gotten the big one-double-o, I was so shocked. To me, the extreme elite of Runescape were those who had 100+ combat. I remember when I just started, my only goal in Runescape was to get to 100 combat. Imagine the possibilities! You could call everyone a noob!

Photobucket
Well I am very close to 100 in P2P now, I'm sure my strength level would provide the small boost I need to ditch the 99, eh hehehe.

My 99 journey has been a truly long one. I kept on getting bored with Rs, but hey I was F2P , who could blame me. Once, after a long hiatus, my friend took me to the giant's den to meet his friend, who was in his 70s. We talked about getting bored on Rs, and he said to me, "Wait till you get to my level". Yeah.. I always remember irrelevant moments like this. Another example would be, I was walking in my old school when I happily thought to myself "Yay I'm level 50".

Then there came the period Rs was starting to get permanantly stale. I was about level 70, ready to succumb to the words of the friend's friend, when Tiz suggested we start a clan together with his friend Formi. I was under the impression that it would be just us 3 in the clan. I was very reluctant when Tiz suggested we make a clan forum, who knew it'd turn out to be my Runescape sustainer! Well, part of it anyway.

On the first and third day (I think) of our clan forum, Demon-girl66 and Demonloard9 popped out from nowhere, and both of them stayed with us since. Talk about beginner's luck yeah. When we went into our first year as Blessings, a lot of 'tards came and went. A few of them were, however, arguably less-stupid, and we now know them as clan members. Just kidding guys. You're all not that stupid. No don't leave the clan I was just messing.

Ah, back then we had a level 40, and the load of us were level 60. Now we're all aiming at 99 stats, and most of us are in custody of the Vortex God. It's hard not to look back and gasp loudly at how far we've come.

God Wars Dungeon

Hello guests! Today, Blessings went for our first ever God Wars dungeon trip. To be honest I wasn't very keen a few days before the event, because I knew there was a very real chance of me dieing and losing my whip etc etc. Luckily everyone was very enthusiastic about to the event and that ultimately made me go.

Tiz came over before the event as well, and we took about a full hour to prepare. Of course, I was distracted a couple of times and Tiz had to go get a Zammy cape. Thankfully I had the mind to buy my Verac's armour set in the morning and get my defence to 70 so I could wear it. Otherwise, I probably would have been quite late.

I believe this is the first time in the history of Blessings we were on time for an event, even though there were just a few last-minute problems that delayed our timing by about 10 minutes.

So we were there, climbing the mountain to Trollheim, not knowing when to turn prayer on, and hands sweaty and shaky. Pretty soon we reached the dungeon and started our 40 kill counts.

When we first arrived, Tiz and I were practically shouting "WHERE'S MATT! WHERE'S MATT!" and Tim was shouting back "NORTH, GO NORTH" and we were shouting back "WHERE, WHERE NORTH!" and then "OH YEAH THERE OKAY I GOT IT". The 40 kill count was more fun than I expected, the way we all turned to whip a newly-respawned hobgoblin and killed it in an instant.

Soon, we got our kill counts, had a small briefing by Matt, and trooped down to Graardor (I think that's his name). I was quite frantic because I had no idea what the **** we were supposed to do next (as Tim said, "There will definitely be morons who forget"). Thankfully I got on quick and soon we were into our fifth Graardor kill. Till then I had only gotten bones and some chaos runes.

It came as a shocker. I was expecting me to not get anything again but then I saw delightful green words that said I just got 2.5mil. I screamed over to Tiz, who said he got the same thing. By then Tim had gotten his share too, and the whole house was flooded with our cheering. Tiz and I were quite reluctant to fight again lest we die, but we fought on once more.. I wish we didn't...

...Because we didn't get anything! Haha got you there you no good sadist.

However there is one horrible thing that came from the trip. Matt thought the drop would go straight to the GE and didn't look at the floor, so he missed his 2.5 mil. Tim told us later he went crazy for a while, but who can blame him. Poor fellow. Don't worry Matt, there'll be a next time where we get a ton of money and you pick it up too :D

I leave you now with some screenies. There is one video currently, you can find the link on our forums.
