50 Agility is the New 99 Strength

I've got a new goal - get 50 agility. The other day I was on a treasure trail and the chest I had to dig up was in a blocked off part of the jungle near Karamja, only accessible upon starting the Legend's Quest, which requires 50 agility (amongst hundreds of other things).




Excellent.


One of the quests needed for Legend's. It was fairly easy.

At the moment I need just about 40 more tickets from the Agility Arena and I can redeem my way to 50 agility, and I didn't even have to play that long.

Also that day I decided to play on HD. I don't normally because it causes a slight but noticable lag. Anyway I was shocked at the amazing graphics, even more so than when it was first released. I spent about 30 minutes of laggy clicking in the Agility Arena then I teled to the Ectofunctus. I quite literally made a face like this :o


Unbelievable.

I wish my computer was a little faster, then I could play in HD more often. I leave you now with some more HD pictures taken in the Agility Arena.

Jellies and Usually Just a Clue Scroll

Excellent. I finally got 60 range that day at the Experiments. Sadly, when I walked in the Jellies with my newly purchased red d'hide armour, the first thing I saw was this douche saying "Lol 99 str and only 60 range". WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?! Anyway I was too busy picking up my coins to come back with a witty yet insulting remark.

During the course of the Jelly killing I got a clue scroll which directed me into level 50 Wilderness. It was the first time since the original Wilderness was removed that I walked by our old pking route. Ah, what good memories. However I was anxious to dig up the treasure so I didn't stop to watch the giant spiders.



Apart from today I haven't played much in the past week, and I won't be ending this inactivity that soon. My exams and coming up and I intend to work hard for it because I have a deal with my dad that makes this one exam I cannot afford to screw up or I will be wasting a very valuable opportunity.

By the way, if you got my John Frusciante reference, then we really should get to know each other better.

No Up in Updates

Recently, Jagex made some changes to Clan Wars, the mini-game I started out hating but grew to love.

That day, I went with Tiz to try it out. First we tried the safe Free for All, which is pretty much a safe version of non-multi (for the area we went to anyway), 1v1 pking. It was fun for the first few seconds, then it just got tedious. Mindless rampage noob killing get flamed game.

The dangerous version is exactly the same except you lose your items when you die, and if you kill someone you get nothing in return. It may provide some kind of excitement for the daredevils on Runescape but not for me.



It's a good thing Jagex is making an effort to please its players but of late, it's updates haven't been up to par. The descriptions given on the site are all very promising but the actual product disappoints more often than not.

If only original pking wasn't removed in the first place. To quote an ex-clan member, "Jagex didn't have to decapitate themselves to relieve a headache".

Where Do We Go Now

If you didn't get the GNR reference, nevermind.

If you didn't get the Nirvana reference, nevermind as well.

But what is one to do after 99 strength? I definitely feel relieved that I've finally achieved this long term goal; I thoroughly enjoy logging on to Runescape and not knowing what to do next, it's the same feeling when I first got membership.

The first few days after 99 strength, I no-lifed fishing. It was more fun than I thought, plus my Ss was rented out almost the whole time I was there. Eventually I got 76 fishing.


Excellent.

Then I went to catch sharks and to my horror I did not have the cooking level required to cook them. Mr Gower, you sly fox.

So I put down my harpoon and did a random quest.

(Picture not shown.)

Then I went for my clan's weekly clan wars.


We lost that one terribly.

After that, I got a slayer assignment. Jellies! Excellent. This was my chance to get that clue scroll I desired. So I access my bank, and I see that there's a lovely piece of Black Dragonhide legs waiting to be worn. What's this? Only 51 range?! Perhaps I should get 60 so I can at least wear the red ones.

The Cape of Fawesomeness

I'm 2 days late but I finally got 99 strength! T'was a beautiful day.









Since getting the level, I've been fishing and loaning out my Sara sword. I want to get 76 fishing so I can catch sharks, then perhaps I'll embark on another quest or head to the jellies to try and get me a clue scroll.

Or maybe I'll do slayer.

The possibilities are endless!

More than Halfway Halfway

Last time I was "halfway" to 99 strength I was level 93. That's the real halfway mark. But now I'm about 60% to 99 (a mere 470k as we speak).

Anyway I'm definitely getting a hitpoints level as my 1337th level, so I plan to make my 99th strength my 1339th level, because it looks slightly better than 1338. But still! Oh why did I have to get those bloody useless levels like summoning and crafting. And runecrafting! Dammit!

So that day I had a taste of what 99 strength would be like. I was a few thousand away from 98 strength, and I decided to hop onto my friend Kmb's world to get it. He's F2P so I was pretty much naked except for a rune chestplate.


Thanks again for being there Kmb!

I think I should have my 99 party on Tuesday, that should give me sufficient time to get the exp I need. I really want to get my level at spiders (level 3 of the Stronghold of Security) but it'll be very messy with a big group of people. Plus the aggressive spiders will be trying to get a hit at everyone.

Maybe I'll end up having just one person with me getting the level and then the whole group when I get my cape (exhibit A: Tim). Ah yes speaking of the cape, I must find out who I can get it from.

Junkyard Spacegarden

Since getting 98 strength I've kinda slacked a bit on my training. I planned for my absolute 99 strength day to be on the 31st of August but now I think I'll be getting it in early September, quite convenient for me since I'll have a week off school then.

At this point I have about 1 million more exp till 99, which means if I stick to my schedule I'll have it in 10 days but I never stick to schedules.

It's gona be a bitch planning a 99 party. Maybe I'll just get those lucky people who are online at the time of my almost-99 to come.
