Fish and Fights.

Following the release of the new pvp system, Blessings swiftly engaged ourselves in a series of conquests in the wilderness. Being a lot stronger than we are before the removal of the pking, we are now finding killing our opponents much easier and a lot faster. I haven't got the time to really go into pking yet, only enjoying the planned events and maybe sudden urges to 2H some people in Lumby for cheap thrill.

Us, a lot stronger than we used to be.

Last night, Blessings made yet another trip to the wilderness. With our old friend, Form back with us, it was a little like the old times before pking was removed. The trip went off slow, we met 2 rangers at the ruins after some world hopping, and quickly started to reduce their hitpoints. Both got away and we ended up having to regroup since Form and Dg came face to face with a massive 100+ clan. Lucky Form, he made it out with 3hp after being binded when he entered a multi-zone. We met in the bounty hunter arena shortly and got attacked by a 125 and 117. Succumbing to their fierce attacks while wearing robes, Tim's food supply depleted rapidly. Soon, Tim had to teleport, and it was just Dg and me left to deal with those 2 players. Dg and me successfully took down the 117 and made off with the loot, leaving the 125 to fume. Soon, we went back to the bounty hunter bank, and after a while of attacking random people, we met the duo again. We got entangled in a bloody match, with the 117 and 125 both on Timmy. Luckily, we could attack the 117, eventually forcing him to teleport away so Tim could deal with the 125 with yet more ease. Soon, the 125 too was left with no choice but to teleport away under Tim's l33tness. Wanting to mess with Blessings, their attack was destined for failure before it even started. The trip soon came to an end when i had to go for dinner.

The duo back for round 2, only to end in an inevitable defeat.

Besides,while the frenzy to prepare for my examinations are going on, i had been fishing dutifully. Propelling myself to 86, i could potentially be a contestant for 99 fishing in the clan too. Monks are coming at a steady rate, but the same could not be said for trying to sell them on the G.E. Those poor fishes have definitely seen better days. A few days ago, their prices started plummeting, and in all panic to get the fishes off their hands, it seems that some fishermen have fallen prey to their own panic attacks and sold the fishes at low prices, causing the prices to *oh no* nosedive. I'll be holding on to my fishes now and look for an opportunity to get them off my hands anytime in the near future.

Life after the cape.

Now that the cape is resting snugly upon my shoulders, i can finally concentrate on studying. Life had been hectic, so much to the point that i can't really spend as much time as i used on runescape anymore.

So, now when im on RS, im usually fishing, since it allows a great deal of afking while the monks come in as a decent profit. To reward myself every now and then, i also take an occasional break, going for mini-games and the such.

We had our very frist trip to the Chaos Elemental a few weeks ago, it was fun, and very fruitful too. Towards the end of the trip, we even got a D2H drop, split between me, Tim, Dg and Spam. Indeed a l33t trip it is.

Recently, Blessings made a trip to the Castlewars Arena, where our impregnable defense caused the opposing team to end with a score of 0 points on their side. It was fun, ancienting those poor GS-wielders, seeing them not able to do anything despite the oh-so-powerful swords they are holding.

Tiz - The Master Chef

I'm sorry that i haven't been posting regularly recently, but i have quite a number of pressing irl matters to settle. Playing extended hours of Runescape is already making me feel guilty of not utilising the time to study, much less take the time off to write a blog post. Fret not, i shall be free in about 2 months.

Anyway, from the previous post, i have managed to narrow down the exp gap to just 7 exp. A blunder of mine, that kept me jittery about accidentally cooking something, which would potentially screw up my first 99 screenshot. Thank god i was careful enough not to spoil anything.

The screenshot was scheduled to be on Friday this week, but my cooking buddy Evolution got a little impatient and decided to request for it to be push forward, and so it was changed to yesterday,September 29 2008,Wednesday. Many friends and clan mates showed up for the screenshot including my clanmates, Kicky, Frit, Tim, Kat, Atrey and Air Dragon. Evolution's friends turned up too, and made it look all the more spectacular and special. Indeed, thank you too Evo, for keeping me company whilst we journeyed our way towards 99 Cooking together. This is one cape well earned for the 2 of us. Now, its official! We are true Cooking (and Cape) Buddies! Grats on the cape too Evo! A big thank you to those who turned up for the screenshot, your effort is well appreciated. ^-^

For those that couldn't make it due to the last minute changes, I'm terribly sorry for the sudden change of plans and yeah Ill be sure to invite you for my next 99! :D

Cooking Buddies for the win!

Le screenie. L33t!

Fooling around. The other cape holder is Air Dragon, a friend who was kind enough to accpet the invitation.

I also went on a Clan wars trip with my clan, feeling the thrill of letting the Cooking cape rest upon my shoulders, we had a good time aye, and Transformers are not as good as they sound (Clan mates who went will get my reference).

Us performing our cape emotes. And yes, Atreyu's emote counts too.

Thanks Demongirl!

Short post to express my thanks to a clan mate, Demonmage, who made a tribute video for the clan. Many thanks dg, for being a clan mod, for sticking with us through all the clan disputes, for doing all these little surprises like this, and most importantly, for being such a great friend to us. Blessings love you!

EDIT: HERES THE VID! CLICK HERE

Also, the clan had been quite active at the clan wars lately, emerging triumphant in epic battles like 2 vs 13 (me and kat), 4 vs 16 (me, kat, tim and ic3). These victories will be helpful in boosting our confidence for the new clan wars update, and i shall look forward to many more victories and loot to come!

Cape Craze

Recently, there seems to be this trend of members getting capes, one after another. Following Dg's 99 Ranged, it was Mat's 99 Thieving (Grats Mat! :D) , Tigerjones with 99 Defence (GRATS Tiggy!) and now, Kat can proudly wear her Strength cape.

I was invited to Mat's 99 Thieving party, and we assembled at the jail near Rimmington. After getting into position, we typed out our well-wishes as we waited anxiously for the fireworks to illuminate the air and mark the mastery of Mat in the skill of Thieving. The second and bigger set of fireworks were especially spectacular, along with nice firework-ish sounds. Two of our members, Mat and Dg has some really impressive and remarkable progress this year. Dg has gotten 3 capes, Hunting, Cooking, and Ranged. Mat, on the other hand, has achieved Cooking, Firemaking and Thieving. So, good luck for 99 Defence, Dg. Most importantly, GRATS Matman on 99 Thieving! Great job buddy. :D

Ahh, now for my rival-co-clan leader, Kkathy. After working on it for almost a year, I'm so proud to announce that Kat is now a master of Strength! I will miss calling you a noob. =p I was honoured to be one of the selected few to be invited to join the taking of the 99 Strength screenie. Meeting at the spiders, me and Dg got the chance to be the first ones to congratulate Kat on her 99 Strength. Heh, i think i deserve some credit for introducing that Saradomin Sword to you, sure it sped up your training by a somewhat noticeable degree? Anyway, finally, your hard work has paid off, and you have that Strength cape you had been dreaming (and drooling) for now. CONGRATS Kat on 99 Strength! Now, i can try to catch up with you in terms of total experience, watch out!

I'm too, motivated to get a cape of my own, and i finally settled on the first skill i had originally decided to get my cape on, Cooking. It rather fast exp, and if i consistently get 250k everyday, i should be able to get it in a month or two. I'm hoping that the price of the lobsters I'm cooking will escalate due to the release of the new pvp system, and if nothing goes wrong, i will be able to reduce my losses yet again. The only problem i see with that is that the prices of the raw fishes will also skyrocket, and i should probably try to get my 99 before then. That way, i would not be affected negatively by the rising prices, and i will have a healthy stock of food for my pking trips with the clan.

Back.

Ahh... finally back to Runescape. Haven't been able to touch Runescape for the past week due to a virus attack on my computer. At least, its all good now. *pats CPU* The horror! It was kind of frustrating thinking of how much cooking exp i could have gotten and yet with the computer down, i was unable to do anything. On the bright side, the virus couldn't have attacked at a better time, it was the exams, and i needed all the concentration i can possibly have. Regrettably, i can't say i made full use of it. Distracted with other things, aye. As i am typing now, im recollecting about the horror last sunday. Switching on the computer, i got no response. I tried again, and soon, the familiar feeling that something is amiss came to me again. And thats how i spent almost a whole week without using the computer, or Runescape.

Now that I'm back, i shall continue to work towards my goal of 99 cooking. Cooking is rather easy experience, and it is making my cooking exp shoot up like nodody's business. Muahahha! Now i've found a skill i can power train to catch up with Kat's total exp. That 12 mil strength exp of hers is very intimidating to me. She'll probably get that cape she had always wanted really soon. So, good luck! :D
