Bird Nest Bonanza? I Think Not!

I am up to 81 Slayer, and slowly closing in on 96 Strength. While Slayer may not bore me, I do have a few things that have taken up considerable time. I really want at least one God Bird, and I would most like a Guthix Raptor. I have been Woodcutting in the attempt to gain an egg that would hatch into such a bird. I have leveled from around 64 Woodcut up to 68 as I type, and yet no bird eggs. I have heard it is a 1 in 200 shot to get a God Bird Egg from a fallen nest, but I still have to give it a shot. I am trying to only do it in short spurts between Slayer tasks, and if I reach 75 Woodcut with no egg I may give up.
I am trying to decide when to sell off the loot I have accumulated during tasks. I needed cash a week ago and cleared the Bank Tab devoted to said loot. It now contains mostly low level drops such as: Water Orbs, Blood Runes, Rune Full Helms, and the occassional pair of Rune Boots. Although I would like to keep this Tab untouched until 99 Slayer, I have very little other means of cash at the moment. So I am contemplating if I should do this, and if so when.

In other news I hit 75 Summoning, but Jagex refuses to give me my egg!

Since I Last Posted

I have been steadily completing task after task en route to 99 Slayer. I have hit 80 Slayer, 95 Strength and 73 Summoning since I last posted. My goal of 99 Slayer is a long term goal, but I do not plan on giving up on it whatsoever. Outside of Slayer and the occasional Farming run, I have only done some clues and finished getting Full Void Range. Right now my task is 190 something Gargoyles, but I do have an idea about monsters like this. I would like it if it auto switched to your Rock Hammer for the kill shot, instead of needingto use it on the monster. After selling my Bandos Tassets in order to obtain 99 Cooking, I have finally bought them back.

All in all I am happy...now back to killing!

Another Look At The Name Change Update

This update has been one of my all-time favorites, but it comes with a few annoyances. I love the ability to go back, and write the wrongs made during the initial character creation. It helps out those people: who added numbers they would like trimmed(Playerxyz156), who are no longer dating people they named their characters for(Iluvjanedoe), and those who once loved Pokemon for instance and grew out of it).
The one annoyance I referred to earlier was that you can: use all capitals, use no capitals, or mix and max capitalization). The only names I really have a problem with, are those that have no capitals whatsoever.
I was one of the people who had a number on my name, and well I didn't like my name to begin with. I changed my name to Phit Phit, and on Novermber 1st I will have the ability to change it again. As I have written I changed it to Phit Phit, but I regret this deeply. I am glad I have not only a second chance to change my name, but now also a third lol. I have used the create account screen to test some of the names I came up with, and a few of them are available. I will not be giving them out, but they are related to a show i watch from time to time. Although I may be playing RS longer than this show may be on the air, I feel this will not be a mistake.
While I am on the subject of names, I do have one other beef as it were. It isn't 100 percent related to this update, but somewhat enhances the problem. The problem is quite simpley is not being able to report vulgar names. Well you can report them, but only if they speak or attempt to trade with you. I personally do not use the report option often if at all, but some people may be genuinely affended by some of the names I have come across. There may be other measures you can take against them if you choose, but I personally do not know of any as I said I rarely report.


Other than that I was granted 94 strength, and am under 100,000 XP from 80 Slayer. I would love to be able to kill Nechryaels, and of course later on Spiritual Mages and Abyssal Demons. I long ago gained the ability to make a Slayer Helmet, recently the ability to fletch Broad Bolts/Arrows, but I want to be able to make Slayer Rings. In between Slayer assignments I am going to do some Crafting grinding. Level 75 Crafting is required for the rings, and was 61 up to 63 as I type this. So all gramatical and puncuation mistakes aside I am off to RS once again!

I Am A Master Chef

After a few weeks of roasting lobster, monkfish and finally shark, I have gained the level I wanted. Then I thought of how I want to train Slayer on my way to at least 99 Strength, and figured I would also get the HP cape along the way.
Not even a full day since I got my cape, some people have made fun of the fact it isnt trimmed. Why is it people feel to do this? I could take ribbing if it was from someone I knew, but from random people gets me a little annoyed. Not only do players with several 99 stats say such things, but people who dont have stats over 70 have had the nerve to question my one 99. I laugh it off usually, but it tends to linger with me.
I did get the screenie, but my computer is being a little silly. Now on to those evil waterfiends!

Herblore Update

This is one that actually will deal with me in some ways. The new potions use Super Potions, Prayer Potions, and other things I can make which should draw up the cost of each. I have seen a slight incline in the price of Super Attack Potions, but havent paid much attention to the others. I need another way to make money as my only other way is Slayer. I have been doing 2-5 tasks a day if not more, but this will go down as I begin to cook again real soon.
I have absolutely no 99 stat, and this has me pushing forward with cooking little by little. Although I feel cooking will be my first 99, I have dedicated a bank tab to slayer/clue drops. I will be doing only Slayer assignments on my way to at least 99 strength(if not 99 defense and attack also). This method has given me a little exra motivation to train, and I have pushed my strength up to 91.
My luck has been decent as I have gotten Granite Legs from Wyverns, and plently of Mystic drops. I haven't been assigned much of anything with top drops other than Wyverns, and the occassional Black Dragon assignment.

Tedious Tasks

I'll start with the name I switched to today. Plaisted2 is now Phit Phit. Now I named him that because Pew Pew Pew was taken lol, Phit Phit may be just a name I'll use for a bit until I can think of one that will stick. It refers to the sound of bolts or arrows being shot, or at least that's what it sound like to me.

The pker is coming along slowly, but he does have 60 magic now. His attack will remain 40 for a some time while I pound out his strength as it is only 49. I did get his range to 41, but this is a stat that I love to train, once its over 50. I have done some quests on him such as: parts of RFD, Plague City, Biohazard, and some of the low level F2P quests.

Phit Phit's cooking is almost 90, and once I hit 90 I will go back to slayer for a while. The boredom from cooking is just too immense for me to continue for long stretches.

New Name Trouble

The name changing update came out , and all I could do was stare at the screen dumbfounded. Every name I could think of was taken or "unavailable", but I should be able to weasle one out of my brain soon enough.

I have not been working enough on Plaisted2, but the pker is starting to take form somewhat. What i was doing as I have already stated in earlier entries was cooking, but I needed a break from the monotony. I went to the old slayer master, and was promptly sent to Kurasks.

I think I should try to split my time equally between the two avatars, but who knows I think I have ADD.
