More Runescape stuff

It is done. I started this quest in April, it broke me and I took a three month break, and it's done! The hardest quest in Runescape (when I started it anyway), a monumental quest full of exciting, interesting bosses - and also some downright frustrating ones. Ultimately I did have a lot of fun with this quest and I'm genuinely quite proud it's done. I'm also relieved, extremely relieved, because now I can take things nice and easy for a while!
Rather than rush into the next quest, I'm working on a few other little side projects.
Firstly, and rather unexpectedly, while I was training woodcutting I acquired this little guy:
On the blisterwood tree that I was chopping, the drop rate of a beaver is about 1 in 289,286. So pretty rare! If you're unfamiliar, almost all non-combat skills in Runescape have a chance to acquire a pet when you perform any action of that skill. The drop rates are all extremely low, so it's not usually something you intentionally go for, but rather it just happens as a nice surprise. The woodcutting skill has the beaver. This is the first skilling pet that I've acquired! (There are also boss pets for combat)
Now, goals! Here are my current stats:
And these are my recent achievements:
- I achieved 90 strength! My first 90 stat. Oh, if 12 year old me could see me now. I did this using the Hallowfell sword that I showed off in the last blog post.
- 81 construction! Why 81? Because I can get a +6 boost, and level 87 is required to build a boss display case, so I can display my jar of light I got from the mad angel.
- 76 fishing! I can fish sharks now. Again, 12 year old me would be super impressed.
- I got a pharaoh's scepter! This meant I could build an altar in my house that lets me swap between regular and ancient magicks without having to trek through the desert.
So here are my goals, in no particular order, some are short-term, others are long-term:
- 99 strength
- 85 defence
- Quest cape - two quests remaining
- 84 construction
- 82 fishing
- 90 ranged
- Base 70 stats
- Base 80 stats
- All medium diaries done
- All hard diaries done
- Learn the gauntlet, a tough combat challenge/boss
There's quite a lot of content in those goals, but I think most of them are achievable this year. Particularly I'd like to get the quest cape, base 70 stats, and get my first gauntlet kill. 82 fishing is just a matter of time, I chip away at it. I have the materials for 84 construction too, it's also just a matter of grinding through. My only blocker to base 70 stats is runecrafting, which I despise but eventually I'll power through!
