Preface
Previously I mentioned being challenged to a race to 1500 total levels. I had overestimated the difficulty of some of the skills I had available to level and I won that race.
In general, 50 Construction was a goal for the Portal Chambers (Waterbirth and Lunar Isle specifically), but it wasn’t difficult to get the supplies to level for the race.
Some time while watching Lemony Apple’s SoloFremmy series, he brought Decorative Rocks (Required level: 5, uses 5 Limestone, gives 100XP) to my attention, which I totally missed when I was training any construction. I’ve been doing Stone Fireplaces (Required level: 33, uses 2 Limestone, gives 40XP) (And Planks from 1-33 with some Exit Portals interspersed) so future training (before I unlock Plank Make, that is) will be slightly easier.
For the race I purchased a bunch of Mithril Ore and Coal and got 63 Smithing at the Blast Furnace. I still have the Mithril Bars for later training, too. With the leftover cash in the coffer I turned some Gold and Silver Ore into bars for Crafting training down the road.
With the Dragon Bones I had been accumulating from Rune Thrownaxe hunting, I made a few trips to the Chaos Altar and hit 53 Prayer.
While I’ve been trying to be more diligent in my Farming run, it’s still not working out as well as I’d want it to. I did get 23 Farming during the race, however.
As a side note, I’m still not sure if I can cure plants. I haven’t caught any that were diseased and still alive after I’ve unlocked Lunar Magics (and the Cure Plant spell), so I don’t know if I still need secateurs for that like with normal Plant Cure, and there aren’t any ways for me to get them yet, to my knowledge.
I spun up some Bowstring, cut some Yew Logs, and made Yew Longbows to 71 Fletching.
I mined a bunch of gems for Burning Amulets and Dodgy Necklaces and turned all the other ones I got into various Jewelry and got 64 Crafting.
I trained a bunch on Rogues immediately after the last Progress Log, just barely missing my goal in the last trip before I ran out of food/HP, so I finished 45 Thieving at Rellekka Stalls. With 45 Thieving and my Dodgy Necklaces, I trained to 51 Thieving off of one of my fellow citizens.
51 Thieving got me to 1500 Total though I forgot to record it immediately when it happened.
1500 Total on the Skills page.
After the race was over I decided to test out Waterfiends in the Ancient Cavern. They’re ultimately not worth it given the time it takes to kill them and how many supplies I use to do so, as it’s similar to the cost of Brutal Green Dragons but without the Rune Thrownaxe chance or Dragon Bones. Any supplies I get from Waterfiends I could just kill Kurasks and match/exceed the XP via buying ores at Jatizso/Blast Furnace, and or by mining the Lunar Isle Gem Rocks.
However, after the 27th kill during the testing period, I got a Mist Battlestaff. For those of you who don’t know, that’s a 1/3000 drop chance.
Unfortunately it’s not terribly useful but it’ll be a major flex.
I spent some time AFK Fire Striking Ice Trolls and got 76 Magic and 54 Prayer.
Looking for more AFK things to do, I decided to get some Agility XP and picked up 20k Feathers for Barbarian Fishing. I hit 66 Agility (and close to 67) and 89 Fishing from that. At 2k Feathers left I decided to save 500 Leaping Sturgeons to turn into Caviar for some additional Herblore XP.
A farming run after all that fishing put me at 24 Farming.
Mixing the Caviar with previously created Super Antipoisons and Fishing Potions granted me a sizable chunk of Herblore XP.
While training at Kurasks to gather the rest of the herbs I needed, I hit 78 Ranged. I also got a spare Leaf-Bladed Battleaxe and Light Mystic Top, which is nice.
Those herb gathering trips put me at 52 Herblore, one of my boosting goals, unlocking Hunter Potions, which leaves only 80 Hunter (and finding them) between me and Dragon Implings.
I still have a lot of Caviar left, too, which will further help my Herblore goals, and is convincing me to continue gathering more down the road.
My Wifi connection at work has been getting shittier and shittier so I haven’t been able to do much in my downtime. However, I did manage to survive a trip to the Mage Arena where I world hopped and purchased a sizable amount of runes.
I also gathered some Clay that I plan to Humidify later for Magic Tablet crafting, which should give me a few more AFK things to do.
I’m starting to really pick things back up and I expect to have a few Dagannoth King kills under my belt soon. I would really like a Glory and Combat Bracelet first, and maybe I’ll manage to get Snakeskin Boots from Ninja Implings on my hunt for Dragon Implings.
Once I can catch Dragon Implings 74 Crafting becomes an immediate goal, so I should really start collecting materials for that, too.
These were my stats at the time of this post
Goals:
Test out The Entrana Method and Puro Puro Baby Imp Clue Juggling to get some God Pages
53 Herblore for normal mixing of Hunter Potions so I can cut down the Hunter grind
80 Hunter to boost for Dragon Imps, 83 to catch them normally
Kill me some Dagannoth Kings
86 Hunter to boost for Lucky Imps, 89 to catch them normally (will most likely just stay 86 for a long time)
77 Magic for normal casting Superglass Make
83/86 Magic for boosting/normal casting Plank Make
1,200,000 Bounty Hunter Points for a Rune Pouch (460,000 currently)
End
