Great updates and prgoress man!! sickkk

[weaponsmaster 19]

Last two weeks have been quite a rollercoaster...

First, finally got off my ass and finished Making Friends With My Arm/Fremennik Exiles/Song of the Elves to reobtain Quest Cape:

Since I was questing anyway, I decided to grab Mage Arena 2 cape as well. (Was just too lazy to get previously.)

And of course, now that I have Quest Cape, there's nothing stopping me from doing Lumbridge Elite Diary.

Now this is where it becomes a rollercoaster. I was in CC when Sammy bb announced they had won big at the sand casino and told everyone to come to 305 GE. She said she was buying items for people, so I jokingly asked for a DHCB (since I really wanted to start camping Vorkath for pet without giving myself braindeath)...

She also held a drop party the next day after winning some more...

So shoutouts to Sammy bb for kickstarting my PVM grind, because I was able to buy basically all the gear I needed with this money (just missing dumb stuff like bandos/arma). My plan is to pet hunt so I can fund my return sets and my buyable 99s.

Speaking of PVM grind, I did a few hundred KC of various bosses (DKS, Mole, Vorkath) and have started building up a nice loot tab.

The bank after all of this is now worth 306m!

Other than this, I've made significant progress on various skill goals. I'm going to be modifying some of the long term goals, since I'm going to be boosting for a fair number of Elite diary requirements - there's no real point in having the arbitrary skill levels if I'm boosting.

74-82 Farming

75-81 Firemaking

70-78 Herblore

98 Hitpoints

90 Slayer

97-99 Strength

Thread is officially on page 2 of Goals and Achievements... oops. Time to bump with some more proggies!

When I was at Wintertodt training Firemaking in the last update, I was really surprised at how ridiculous the rates are for the effort... and the loot wasn't too bad either with nearly 2k total. So most of my active playtime in the last 2 weeks was spent on this:

81-99 Firemaking

Additionally, with the solo bossing I've been doing on the weekends, I've been able to earn enough to fund some buyables that have been sitting on the backburner.

81-88 Farming

78-90 Herblore

I've made some other minor skilling gains as well, for the extra total levels.

71-75 Hunter

75-80 Thieving

Lastly, because of the above skilling gains, I picked up a bunch of Elite diaries (pretty much all of them were gated by Herblore).

Falador, Kourend/Kebos, Varrock Elite Diaries

5/11 Elite diaries complete. The reqs I have left are:

90 Agility (85)

85 Crafting (probably 80)

91 Runecrafting (86, but I may sit on this one since I'm inevitably going to get 99)

96 Fishing (91)

93 Slayer (can't be boosted)

85 Thieving (84 - need 84 for Wilderness and I CBA to stew boost in the Wilderness)

Very close to most of these requirements, though they're not my number 1 priority right now. 50 hours of Firemaking was long enough.

----------------------------------

Also thanks to skilling gains, I've finally achieved a long term goal of...

2000 Total Level

Oh no, defense XP!

I decided to finally go 75 defence now that I can actually put some of that gear to good use. The extra damage reduction isn't bad either. I was putting it off because I wanted to prioritize other things... but I had to check out crabs in 2000 total worlds just to see if people still trained there.

I got crashed twice by nearly maxed mains during the ~6 hour 70-75 defence grind. What the fuck? Why is a maxed main w/ 2000 total training at crabs? Legitimately -1 IQ.

But anyways, here's a proggy of where I'm at now.

Bank worth is currently ~320m even with all the bossing I did being worth ~70-80m. Buyables cost too damn much.

Next goals are mostly PVM-related, I really wanna finish maxing combats, but I also want pets, so I need to do my slayer boss tasks... shame. Next update might just be a 'hey I've made 200m and got absolutely jack in terms of uniques'. We'll see how it pans out.

I can't wait to block Abyssal Demons again. Fuck Sire.

I gotta start putting money into PK gear.. I really wanna start getting out there w/ you guys. If I keep doing PVM on the side, by the time I hit 99 range/magic I should be more than comfortable enough to sink 100m into a return tab. The initial investment is just bothering me right now because if I sell any of my current gear, my PVM will take a big hit.

SoonTM

Congrats on the gains my man! Excellent progress 

[High_Voltage 12]

I'll be there with you, step by step. Teamwork makes the dream work 

[weaponsmaster 19]

Been slacking too much on this thread lately, need to update! I kept putting it off because I've constantly been close to goals I wanted to get done before posting...

Anyways. I was mostly doing money making stuff to start a return tab when I had time to play over the past few weeks, but I did get some skilling in..

87-90 Mining

89-91 Farming

90-92 Slayer

Other than skilling.. I made the mistake of spending an obscene amount of time on Sire tasks when I had time to play.

That boss sucks. Don't make the same mistake I did. However, I did get enough KCs to eventually make a bludgeon, which puts another 40m in the bank. Nice!

At least PVM gives you a good bit of combat training, too. PVM and Slayer allowed me to max out some more important stats.

99 Hitpoints

97-99 Ranged

Also, I was doing a Kraken task and AFKing a bit...

Not the best pet, but way better than nothing. I can fashionscape on w420 like all the cool maxed mains now!

Overall, I didn't end up making as much money as I wanted in this time (partly thanks to Sire, and partly thanks to spending some time learning new PvM like CoX and Corrupted Gauntlet). After some costly PoH improvements, my bank is now sitting at about 380m. I did, however, start spending money on a important project...

Started Return Tab

As I want to apply soon and get more involved, I've started putting a lot into my return tab. I still need to buy a lot more sets and supplies, but any suggestions or critiques are HIGHLY appreciated!

Thanks to Milky + Arty for giving me example tabs and helping me figure out stuff I missed, and gratz Arty on maxing!

And now the real moneymaking begins.
