Yo so it's been over a month since my last progress thread so I thought I'd make another one quickly.
Progress Thread #1 - https://www.alora.io...art-to-present/
I finished the last progress thread after doing some easy pvm for Zenytes, Occult, Gp from Revs and Venenatis for spider eggs.
The plan for this month was to get a basilisk jaw, a bandos set, dragon warhammer and then start COX for a twisted bow.
Progress - 12 August -> 23 September
Part 1 - Prep for COX
First item I decided to grind for was a basilisk jaw. Relatively afk and pretty common. Was out of prayer so I instantly teleported. Got it on that kill.
Next goal was to get a bandos set. The method here is to have an alt tank a mage minion, another alt tank a range minion and then you tank the melee minion + the boss. You'll take 0 damage except the occasional range attack from bandos.
I decided to take a small break. 1 goal I've wanted to passively achieve was a monkey/comp cape.
Managed to get a curved bone. At least its a collection log slot.
Back to bandos.
At this point I decided to either get a bandos hilt which would finish the bandos collection log(except pet) or stop at 250 kc.
I should probably go back and round it off.
Part 2 - Chambers of Xeric + Paragon Bingo
Chambers of Xeric time. I used a drop booster and a raid booster for every single cox run. I dropped every dupe unique and every non unique drop as I had no space. The exceptions were gold ore for 200M smithing later, Dwarf weed for ranging potions, and clue scrolls for collection log slots.
First weapon to start off. Will be useful for Vorkath in the future.
Nex bonus was on and I was pretty much geared, so I hit up some Nex. Pretty much the best drop I could get at the moment. You can see how messy my inventory is.
More diaries. Quick kq head spoon drop.
At this point over at @
3rd Zenyte shard which unlocked a tile.
The mega spoon dragon warhammer drop. I was hoping to go slightly more dry so I could get some spirit seeds for diaries. Still need 2 of those. I decided to sell my bgs to the ironman shop cause I had no use for it now.
My inventory/gear looked like this at this moment.
Another bingo tile unlocked.
Back to COX. A raids weapon, ancestral piece and twisted bow were on the bingo card. I decided to grind out COX and hopefully get lucky with these tiles.
Shoutout @W
TOB bonus was on and my TOB gear setup is pretty much the same as my COX setup, so why not do a few. Needed 5 kc for diaries as well. Shit thing about this drop is that I have to keep it outside my looting bag until I get a scythe.
An update arrived. 1 of the updates was "Dwarf weed seeds were added to clue loot." I had kept my clues for this moment. The result?
My inventory was getting full so I quickly made like 200 glories using my dragonstones, and charged them for a potential amulet of eternal glory. Got 2 in 1 inventory.
200M range xp.
At this point I was slightly demotivated. Seeing 2 unique drops in 61 kc after having master donator + boosters was annoying. I was hoping to get ancestral/a weapon for bingo tiles. I was falling behind because of this grind.
Finally. A weapon. I originally kept this for Thermonuclear smoke devil kills, but I ended up dropping it for space.
Another unique.
I never have pets out so I just insure them and suicide and let Probita keep them.
Was expecting a DHCB dupe at this point.
First double purple. At least it wasn't 2 prayer scrolls. Not sure where I'll use the twisted buckler.
Back to bingo. Viggora's chainmace unlocked for some wildy bosses.
Inventory update. Archers' ring was from bloody keys from revenants.
If I remember correctly, at this point I started giving up with bingo because I was in the solo players section and @Gonna Dc got a twisted bow and some other drops so he was ahead by a lot. And a lot of the tiles on the card were drops I wasn't interested in hunting at that time.
I was running out of restores, so I decided to kill Venenatis for spider eggs.
Goal was to either get 1000 venenatis kc or get the pet.
After finishing Venenatis I got addicted to wildy bosses so I decided to go to Scorpia. There was a lot of things I could unlock while here. Scorpia collection log, Dagon hai from larran's keys and redwood tree seeds from larran's keys for a kourend diary task. Tier 1 emblems were great as well. I got some before from Venenatis.
Not gonna post every shard drop. I was contemplating keeping both shards but I ended up dropping them.
For the first 1000ish kills I didn't die a single time which was surprising. Got a bit complacent after that though.
There it is. Was getting a bit burnt from wildy bossing because people started noticing that I spent extended amounts of time at wildy bosses so I got targeted. Ended up with around 7k pkp.
Back to COX. Cba taking pet out to use dust on it so dust is staying in my inv for now.
And there it is. Exactly what I was hunting for. AND I got spooned. This meant that I've achieved every goal I set myself like 3 weeks ago.
The collection log.
1 Raid after twisted bow drop.
Inventory update.
Part 3 - Post COX
Plan was to get an armadyl set to go with my twisted bow. Would be used on-task for some stuff. Stopped at 50 kc once I realised void was better + arma is HORRIBLE to kill.
I lost my my archers ring at scorpia when I got rushed. I wasn't too worried because I was going to drop it eventually. Brimstone ring is BIS on UIM because it's a tribrid ring which takes up 1 inventory slot.
The most obvious place to take the twisted bow was hydra. Plan was to get an arma set first but killing kree is cancer so I just went in crystal gear + on task. Goal was to get hydra leather for ferocious gloves as well as the 3 pieces for a brimstone ring.
Spooned a DHL before anything else.
Ring completed.
Gloves completed.
Hydra was pretty fun to do so I wouldn't mind going 1k dry or whatever. It is what it is.
Part 4 - Random stuff
At this point I was a bit clueless on what I wanted to do. The only thing I had left to complete was Nex, TOB and 200m all. Nightmare drops are pretty useless so I cba going 300+ kills per unique.
As everyone knows, nobody does Nex or TOB off bonus, and if they do its rarely. So I couldn't grind these consistently.
So I decided to unlock more collection log slots while I planned out my next goals.
Quick spring from a gorilla after I decided to show up in range gear.
Another pet to the collection.
Finished Motherlode mine collection log as well.
Quick break from collection logs. Decided to cut all the gems I had for inventory space + crafting exp.
Got about 35m crafting exp from all my gems.
Joined 1 of Moe's item hunt events. Not the drop I needed.
Had the hydra's claw sitting in my looting bag for a while so I decided to do a zammy task to get 2 zamorakian spears. 1 for the DHL and 1 for corp for another time. Spooned as per usual.
Got a corp task. Got baited. Nothing in 35 kills. So dry
Part 5 - Future plans, Discussion, etc
I'll quickly run through my inventory/looting bag etc and the plans.
So at the moment, this is what my entire account looks like.
Looting bag - I dropped the silver sickle because I can buy another one from the vote shop later.
I also dropped eternals because I have no use for them. I don't plan on barraging slayer for 200m slayer exp.
I dropped sapphires and emeralds because I don't plan on making anything out of them. Ruby's and Diamond's will be used for bolts later.
Antifire potions also dropped because they're relatively easy to get.
Vials of blood dropped because I doubt I'll be getting a scythe anytime soon.
Snapdragon pots(unf) were made into super restores. Got about 25m herb exp out of them.
Amulet of eternal glory dropped because I can buy the seed pod from the lost item manager whenever I need to use a 30+ teleport.
I'm contemplating dropping the Twisted Buckler because AFAIK it has 0 uses unless you have a Zaryte crossbow. Space isn't an issue for now.
Inventory & Gear - Pretty straight forward, food and potions and combat gear that I use all the time. The 2 kits are annoying to hold.
Missing a Torva Set, Scythe of Vitur, Sang Staff and Arcane Spirit shield for max melee/range/mage BIS.
Unless Nightmare is buffed to make the gear bis in places, I won't be going there. Torva will be a pain to get because of how often people go Nex and the fact that it's kinda rare.
50/50 on TOB at the moment. Not fun with 150 ping plus the fact that I need a team to do it.
No reason to go back to COX at the moment really. No use for ancestral for now.
I really want to finish some collection log slots such as the minigame ones as well as Slayer collection log and Miscellaneous collection log.
Only missing "Do a barrows run in a barrows set" and "Grow 2 spirit trees" tasks for monkey/comp. Will get that eventually so that I have 1 cape for all styles, similar to the brimstone ring.
Might start skilling again to knock out some easy skills such as thieving and hunter.
Cash is starting to become an issue. Infernal cape costing 2.5m and like 3m for void doesn't help. Will probably go back to revs eventually.
That's it really.
Tldr: Gonna do collection log stuff, Nex, TOB soonTM, skilling soonTM and comp soonTM.
Ty for reading.
Didn't ask + ratio + irrelevant
