Preface
Three years (and a day!) of logging the account! I would have posted yesterday but work (I’m as close to full time as they can legally get away with without paying benefits now so it’s been a time) and life took up all of my energy and time.
Progress
I continued killing Zilyana as I said I would (shocker, me sticking to a plan I made these days haha), and before I get into the outcomes of that, just gonna say: I took a big break for Leagues 3 to let Kingdom build my nest collection up because Zilyana shreked my stock of Saradomin Brews.
That’s not to say I don’t have a lot to share though, I and rng made sure of that!
90 kills after I got my first drop, a Saradomin Hilt, I was graced with my second drop from Zilyana.
A second Saradomin hilt (KC 172)!

Continuing the grind, I hit 100 Hitpoints while getting KC for Zily.

After some farm runs, I hit a nice Farming level.

20 kills after the 2nd hilt, I got my third drop, a Saradomin hilt Sword (KC 192)! Can’t think of any uses for it right now but it’s one of the collection log slots I need to move on later so that’s pretty cool.

At KC 201, I got my “4th” drop from the Saradomin General. Unfortunately, it’s pretty useless and all it does is follow me around screaming that I should find the Godsword.

Luckily, to make up for that bit of bad luck, I got another drop at KC 207. A third hilt.

I forgot why but I decided to train some Runecrafting, and hit 64. I think Zilyana was getting to me, I was pretty hilted.

Later that day, I hit KC 220, a boring number, but I also got a Godsword Shard 3.

At KC 245, I decided to call it for now, since my supplies were dwindling and Leagues 3 was approaching.
Some time during the Zilyana grind, I decided to ask my followers a question: should I unlock the Ancient Prison (and only the Ancient Prison) out of sequence (EG, before base GWD and Vorkath completion), so I could farm the mobs in the prison for supplies rather than be strictly time gated. As a side benefit, I would have ancient magics via spellbook swap, allowing me to finish the Wildy Elite diary, fight Sire slightly better, and do other silly spellbook swap stuff.
Consensus was yes, and I added the stipulation that I wouldn’t be able to do it until I got a unique non-shard drop from each boss, just to prove that I could fight them at the power level I am without those benefits.
During Leagues 3, I was doing sporadic farm runs, and because of them, I hit 70 Farming, a level I’d not even considered being able to hit when I started the account. And then I hit 71, because why not.


Additionally, during Leagues 3, Jagex added new creatures to the Wilderness Slayer Cave. The most important one to the account being Abyssal Demons. Being that I had an Abyssal Demon slayer task from my Sire grind, I planned on taking them on when I got done with leagues.
That day came after a long and fun time with the temporary game mode. I settled in for a long grind and a PK fest, Venge runes and everything. I even managed to Venge once before a PKer killed me, though, it was only as they killed me. I was expecting to have to fish for several slayer tasks and wondering how fun it would be to kill Dust Devils and Nechryael one at a time for a full task.
One lucky teleblock splash/failed PK and 60 something demon kills later, and 80 (+1 superior) total, I was rewarded an Abyssal Whip. Honestly still can’t believe I was so lucky and also that I now have an Abyssal Whip. It does feel kinda cheap getting it from outside Sire but hey, I did my time there and got a Dagger and 2/3rds a Bludgeon, so I’m not that bent out of shape about it.

With the Whip in my possession, I was convinced to do melee Graardor. It didn’t take much to convince me, I got my first kill the day after. I also ended up hitting 84 Defence while getting KC, because I was close.

Since I don’t have a Dragon Mace and can’t be assed to spend zeal (that I don’t have) on anything but imbues (that I haven’t gotten yet), we theorycrafted that Magic Longbow Spec would be the ideal spec weapon. Super Attack potions would also be very important since Graardor is a tanky boi, so I grinded up to ~100 Eyes of Newt from Catablepon.
I then made all the Super Attack potions I could, as well as more Saradomin Brews and Super Restores with the supplies that had built up.
While getting KC, I hit 90 Attack, which is probably helpful. I also hit 15 million HP XP at some point.


I’ve killed Graardor 37 times so far, died to him and his minions 11 times, and attempted many more failed kills. This has put a significant dent in my already low Super Restore stack, so I’m now taking a break from that to go for 99 Attack (at least) since the increased accuracy will make kills better, even slightly. If I also go for 99 Defence, I should be a little tankier too.
Here’s how I currently (try to) kill him: I pre-Venge and I use an MLB to spec twice as an opener, and usually again as a closer. I bring a Super Strength and Super Attack potion, 4 4 dose Brews and 1 1 dose Brew (which I drink after 40 kc to make room for the hammer), 2 Super Restores, 15 sharks, a DFS swap (I currently use the Bandos book as my protection), and teletabs + rune pouch with Venge runes. I do the 2:1 melee walk-under method while trying to Venge range attacks and not die.
Given that I’m sticking to my plan of doing that at Kurasks, I should receive plenty of herbs and seeds for supplies (namely, Snapdragon seeds since they’re the only real way I can get a lot of Super Restores. Ranarrs will help with the other GWD bosses, and Sire even). I may even be able to hit 89 Herblore, letting me make Supercombats, which will help immensely since it’s an extra inventory slot and one less click for re-potting after brewing down. I may even work on the Black Dragonhide grind, too, either via dragons or making bowstring.
Additionally, as a distraction during the Graardor grind, I finally trained construction using the planks I had made a while ago, hitting 77 Construction. This allowed me to upgrade my pool to a Rejuvenation Pool, and also construct a Lunar Altar, making switching my spellbook less of a hassle and removing the excuses I had about doing certain tasks due to that.

I also cleaned every single one of my grimy herbs

This put me near another level, so I made other potions and some more supplies and hit 83 Herblore, allowing me to boost to make Extended Antifires.

That’s pretty much all I have for now, which isn’t too bad given most of the period was spent not actually playing the account.
