Preface
“Small” update this time around as I’ve decided to go for 99 Strength and have mostly been AFKing that goal outta the park.
The decision wasn’t due to the AFKibility, mostly, though I have been enjoying my alt a lot.
Progress
While doing slayer, I got a Dagannoth task, and decided to try my luck at Rex again. I purchased 3k casts of Magic Dart and went to town.
During one trip, I got a Warrior Ring. Now, it’s not the Berserker Ring, but it is an upgrade over the nothing/Ring of Life I typically wore in the slot, especially since the Leaf Bladed Battleaxe is a Slash weapon.
Halfway through another trip, Prime aggroed on me and I planked, but luckily I survived the trip back and also kept the world so I had a death pile of supplies plus the extras I brought. During that one-and-a-half trip, Rex dropped a Dragonstone, one of my most sought after items (also making me one of the few people ever to be excited to get a Dragonstone from Dag Kings).
After finishing that trip, I left and made myself a Combat Bracelet, finally obtaining my best in slot Melee gloves.
Spurred by the recent melee upgrades (and a bunch of people in my clan wanting to run Barbarian Assault), I decided to get my Fighter Torso next. Quite a few painless runs and bad gambles later (no red d’hide for me 😦 ) and a few people emerged from the depths of Barbarian Assault sporting shiny barbarian abs.
With the new muscles I was sporting, I made the decision to train Strength. I tried rock crabs for a brief moment but they die too fast and spawn too slow, so I moved on to the spiders in the Stronghold of Security. At first, I was just going to get a few levels, starting from 86 Strength. But then I got engrossed in my alt and ended up killing quite a few spiders.
I decided a few days ago that I would just go for 99 Strength. I’ve had the XP tracker set to 99 Strength forever, I started with ~48k spiders to 99 Strength, and now I’m at about 22-23k to go.
As a minor change of pace, I decided to test out Black Salamanders and Harralander Tar to afk Magic training at rock crabs, but given the time it takes to amass a significant amount of tar, the XP was not worth it at all.
Currently I am 94 Strength with 130k to go to 95. Consequentially, I’m also now 92 Hitpoints.
At the pace I’ve been going, I should hit 99 Strength by next weekend.
These were my stats at the time of this post
Goals
That’s all for now, I think I’ll get 75 Crafting afterwards since I’m close and start making a better effort to train farming. I’ll then continue with the slayer grind as 83 Slayer unlocks better Runecrafting training and probably nicer rune collecting.
End
