Preface
Sadly another period where my attention/time has been mostly elsewhere. I also got most of these on mobile at work and I can’t really remember when I got them so I’m just consolidating this period into one document. I hope Twisted League will be a breath of fresh air for me and renew my interest in playing more.
Honestly though, it’s partly the grinds I have coming up that’s pushing me away, and most of my time has been spent playing new game releases that I’ve also been hyped for so maybe if that stops happening I’ll find the time to play again too, haha.
Progress
Luckily Kingdom Management has given me a lot of resources regardless of my playtime. I’ve dropped Maples for Coal at this time, since I could still use coal until I get done with the Fremennik Hard diaries (and can then grind Avianses for noted Adamant Bars). I won’t need too much Coal though, so I’ll swap again soon, this time to Hardwood so I can start accumulating Teak and Mahogany logs for Plank Make and thus construction xp and useful features.
I did set out fishing for sharks to at least build up my food supply some more, and got lucky with a few genies and dunces, netting me some nice Herblore XP.
I finally got 50 Farming, between my bushes dying and my lack of farm runs, it took longer than it should have.

That puts me at base 50 stats, so I’m halfway to maxing!!1

I got a Slayer task done, getting 2 Defence levels, putting me at 77 Defence (I was close to 76 in the beginning). 3 more levels till I ignore Attack and Defence until I get 99 Strength!
I’m debating on unlocking Basilisk from Duradel, even if Knights suck, having another task that’s doable in my region always helps, and I can always murder the weaker ones (After I get a jaw, of course).
Knocked out some more mining xp at the Lunar Isle gem rocks (And I’m currently “afk” mining more pure essence), though I haven’t gained another level yet.
I decided to work on some Thieving as it’s also diary requirement. I got 1 level on Mobile and figured it wasn’t so bad, though I did it before bed so I was falling asleep. I got another level before starting to write this and it isn’t that much easier on PC/Runelite than mobile. That is okay I guess, since it gives me something else to do on mobile and won’t feel too much worse doing it on it. I may end up getting more work on that now, too. Those efforts put me at 54 Thieving.

As mentioned, I’ve been working, very slowly, on the requirements for the Fremennik Hard Diary.
I need 65 Herblore for the Defence Potion step, I’m at 59.
Between past grinding efforts, Farming runs, and Kingdom, I have a lot of herbs, and will continue to be getting herbs, due to their usefulness. As with all ironmen, secondaries are the real problem and of course more so for me, being area restricted.

Guams and Marrentills are basically useless for me, Guams because Eyes of Newt are extremely rare and better used for Super Attack Potions, and Marrentills because Unicorn Dust is better used for Super-Antipoison. Tarromin are on the fence in regards to usefulness because Limpwurts fall under a similar use case to Unicorn Horn Dust, but are vastly easier to gather. Really, I’m only considering using them because I have so many of them and they would translate into a decent chunk of xp.
Harralanders became vastly more useful with the completion of Royal Trouble, though using them involves hopping worlds to buy 2 Chocolate Bars at a time and is thus really annoying. Can’t say I’m not glad to have a more consistent form of run energy restoration, though.
Ranarrs make Prayer Potions, and will never not be useful. Snape Grass spawns fast enough on Waterbirth Island that it’s only minorly troublesome to gather, and every inventory I get I can run to Peer the Seer and bank. I may experiment with Waterbirth Island teleports and then Games Necklace -> Barb Assault Teleport, but the current method works for me. Also, when I work out afking at Waterfiends, I should get a lot from them.
Irits means murder of many Unicorns for their horns, and unlike Limpwurts, you only get Horns from them (Ensouled heads are unsurprisingly useless for me).
Avantoes call for Kebbit Teeth (or Snape Grass but Hunter Potions are slightly more xp and don’t share materials with Prayer Potions), which aren’t too terrible to gather and I get some Hunter xp from it, meaning less time spent hunting in the Wilderness, even if only a small amount.
Kwuarms (And Tarromins) involves me killing a lot of Cockatrices for Limpwurt Roots (though really I should get off my arse and do Barbarian assault, as I’ll no doubt get a few roots from gambles). I get a few runes and more herbs while doing this, so it’s not entirely bad.
I’ll probably use the rest of my Caviar on Hunter Potions, as it’s extra xp (+40 xp per caviar/2 doses of Hunter Potion) and when I need to use Hunter Potions, the amount of doses I carry doesn’t matter all that much.
I only need 65 Herblore because I can boost to 66 with Greenman’s Ale.
To steal from the Keldagrim Gem Stall I’ll need 75 Thieving, and I’m at 54. To get to 75, I’ll need to successfully pickpocket Fremennik Citizens 16,300 times. Since they have a Talk-to option, that’s going to be a real pain. Two-tap mode on mobile works out pretty alright though.
There’s no boost available to me to lighten this grind.
For the final task, mine 5 Adamant Ore on Jatiszo, I need 69 Mining. I’m closest to being done with this one, at 67 Mining (Almost 68, too). From the xp I currently have, I only need to mine ~1,179 more Gem Rocks, or ~15,315 Pure Essence, but I’ll probably do most of it via Gem Rocks.
I only need 69 Mining due to being able to boost with Dwarven Stouts.
That’s pretty much all I’ve got to talk about this time.
Forgot to mention hitting 86 Hitpoints.
These were my stats at the time of this post
