Hello (again), everyone!

 

I'm Dave, a maxed Ironman from way back - had to take a break from Alora due to finishing up graduate degree and relocating back to the US. I have a great new job, and time to kill after work, so I'm looking forward to jumping back into the action.

Goals: finish up my 200M RC xp, and eventually get back into maxing my UIM (ScikitLearn) once I'm back in a groove.

 

Good to see you all again.

Episode 1 of a series I'll be doing.

 

See Topic 44434 to make a suggestion about something you want to learn about in a future episode.

 

 

 

EDIT: Episode 2 is coming soon, still ironing out exactly what will be talked about. However, figured I'd leave this here - here's a time lapse of a coding stream I did on the last server I worked on. This was about 3 weeks into development on the Araxxor boss from RS3, adapted to legacy style combat. A couple of months after this stream the boss went up for beta testing... Was a great project to work on. Hopefully you enjoy a look into the dev life on a late night!

 

My first 200m skill I'll be going for is 200m runecrafting. I think it's a super chill skill when doing Soul runes, contrary to popular belief.

 

I do occasionally try-hard death runes, and bind a ridiculous amount of ess/hr, but I just finished up the last of the pure ess I've gotten from PvM, so I'll be doing souls the rest of the way (that's IF I don't break to kill zulrah if I want to do some death rc'ing). My goal is going to be between 3-5m xp per day at least, with grindy days being closer to 8-9m xp. Keep in mind I'll still be doing farm runs / playing my uim so I might not be super efficient.

 

Here's the current state of affairs:

 

Update 2:

 

Okay I've been going super try-hard this weekend @ soul altar... ~40m xp gained.

At first I was like, wow this is a great idea.

Then I realized you’re a HC so you can’t suicide, which equates to no looting bag...

Now I’m like wow, this is ridiculously awesome and difficult idea!

Very cool, man - best of luck!

So, I recently maxed my ironman with about 100 hours played (definitely not entirely efficient playtime), and I decided that although I'll continue playing normal ironman mode as my main, I'd like a more enjoyable, difficult challenge while maintaining an easy xp rate. Hence, I started my UIM, ScikitLearn.

Current progress (Update 4):

 

85 slayer! However, as if not using a bank wasn't challenging enough - I have made myself another challenge! I may only obtain a whip via the Font of Consumption (AKA via Abyssal Sire). I'd like to see the time difference between the two methods, especially given my shitty range gear.

 

In order to efficiently kill Sire I'm going to need to get my mage to 92 for blood barrage (we'll see how many levels I get from alching the gold amulets I crafted - the rest of the xp will come from barrows, which I need to do anyway for dhally) and my range to around 95 to hit consistently with broad bolts. My kill times are going to be significantly slower (~2 mins on main w/ blowpipe, I'm expecting 3.5-4 minutes w/ rune cbow), so we'll see how this goes...

 

I got some nice skilling done this progress update as well! Getting the hang of doing herblore without a bank - very click intensive, but fun!
