The Return of the Wombat

Yes, I'm finally back! I apologize to you, my as-of-yet-nonexistent readers, for the long wait. After I got back from my vacation, I just got bored with the blog. I didn't feel like writing anything for a while, so I played RuneScape instead of writing about playing it. Of course, since I haven't posted in over a month, I have a lot to talk about. Let's get started...

First, level 90 defense! I got it while doing a slayer assignment to get my slayer helmet (which I did also get). There's also strength: I've gained 3 strength levels since achieving my defense goal, for a total now of 83. And I know what you're thinking right now: "He was such a fan of defense. What went wrong?"... I still am. I just recognize the merits of being balanced. I realized a while ago that I was little better than the pures who only train strength: I was still limiting myself through my training habits, only in a different way.

Then, we take a look at combat levels. I got 106 combat a little before I got the slayer helmet, then 107 some time after that. I am now 108 combat, because I finally started actually training summoning! And of course, since I'm so cheap, I'm using Tears of Guthix for the lower levels because I don't want to waste charms.

I also got a Torag's platebody and platelegs, and have been using them "around," as it were. I've noticed a huge difference, so much so that I'm thinking I'll skip dragon altogether. I do still use my rune armor when I don't need the extra defense and don't want to waste barrows degradation, but for anything that hits much damage, I'm a barrows fan all the way now. It lasts for so long that the profit I make from fighting with it is way more than enough to cover repair costs, especially since I can use my house to save some money on that. :P

Oh, and I got 66 herblore just yesterday! Super defense potions ftw! Now I need to plant a bunch of whiteberry bushes. And 70 prayer... which is totally awesome. I haven't gotten to actually try piety or gravestone blessing yet, but I'm looking forward to it at some point. I also got 77 slayer fairly recently. I think I'll try for 80, but there are no guarantees after that. And finally, air guitar!! I did a bunch of quests and went to get my last 2 songs in Keldagrim at the blast furnace and rat pits. Now I can do every emote but the skillcape ones. :-)

Now my major goal (yes, singular!) is to get that fire cape. I have 108 combat, so I can one-click the healers. I have 70 prayer, so I'll restore more points per potion dose and I don't have to worry so much about draining. I have 81 ranged, so I should be able to kill everything alright. I have 90 defense, so nothing should be able to kill me very easily, and I just got 88 hitpoints a couple of days ago (same comment).
