U mad?

717M, traded for 2 reindeer antlers

501.2M from cracker, lost 215M value

Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance

Last Sunday, I dutched up and completed Monkey Madness. I'd put it off for a long time, holding back until I got 50 range for the jungle demon fight. I did get the range level thanks to the circus and had to wait on getting blue dhide and sharks. The dhide bought in an hour, but the sharks were in limbo for three. I didn't want to wait any longer, knowing I'd push it back again if I did, so I hopped into Merch's chat and asked if someone would sell me 60 cooked sharks. Vaskor offered and we met at CW. I thought 60 would be just enough since I thought I'd be getting punched frequently by gorillas and might die.

Amazingly, I only ate three. Two were consumed during the two tunnel runs and one when I got cornered by a scorpion behind the jail. The jungle demon went down like a wilted pansy thanks to protect from magic. When I teleported to the arena, I stood where I'd landed with my prayer turned on while the demon stayed four squares away.

Saturday, I went through Underground Pass twice (once for the quest and once for Regicide) with nary a hitch. I had too much food until I met up with Iban (kept stunning me until I put on protect from magic [which isn't suppose to work]) and only fell off the bridges once.

A trick I read about on the RSWiki for Roving Elves: when fighting a moss giant in Glarial's tomb, first kill a zombie until one drops a sling, then safe spot the moss giant. It totally worked! Took maybe five minutes to kill it with a sling, but so awesome to use a workaround like that.

I'm finished with serious combat training. Working to get enough cash for dragon armor to wear so I don't look like a noob (rune plate, Neit helm, d skirt, d boots).

Not this blog post again

You've likely read about this already.

Am I disturbed by it? Yes, for reasons listed below.

- the voting page looks hinky

- certain links for sharing (Twitter and MySpace for me) go to error pages

- only typing an account name is needed (anyone can vote using anyone's name)

- no option to vote "No" or be taken to a familiar looking poll page (such as the regular polls Jagex puts up)

  ^ This is supposedly going to be fixed tomorrow, stated by Mod Emilee

- it's either yes you want both back or no you don't (I don't want "old" Wildy back, but don't care about free trading)

Underrated Slayer Monster #7: Fever Spider

4. Empty spots

3. One drop (kwuarm; rare to get)

2. Special gloves

1. Bottle of Teleportation™

The only downside is the killer headache.

Bottlenecks

A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources. The term bottleneck is taken from the 'assets are water' metaphor. As water is poured out of a bottle, the rate of outflow is limited by the width of the conduit of exit - that is, bottleneck. Increase the width of the bottleneck, and you can increase the rate of which the water flows out.

There are several quests I want to get out of the way, but I've set a goal to be achieved before I'll do them. I suppose it could be considered two goals except they pretty well go hand-in-hand. Underground Pass is waiting patiently. I have all the required skills and I'm confident I can work through that hellhole dungeon a third time. Although one thing makes that quest simpler - 79 combat to kill Kalrag. The combat level is arbitrary; it only keeps Kalrag's minions from constantly injecting me with their venom. The other quest is Monkey Madness, which I hope will be easier a third time around. Being able to wield a dragon scimitar will be sweet and puts the other goal in the limelight - 60 attack. Since combat needs boosted, it makes sense to gain attack levels to raise it. 

I'm pretty burned out on combat in general, so it's sliding in favor of non-combat skills. Agility is winning out and you know how much I hate it (sorry Pie). I checked with Tipit's combat calculator which told me getting 60 in attack, strength and defense will get me 79 combat (without raising summoning and prayer). In the back of my head, I keep hearing Simple saying, "Slayer..." and not in an annoying way either. Reading up on the task list, I went to Chaeldar to get going. She's only got a few things I'll Burthorpe if they get assigned. She is my fave slayer master, though Rhonda gets pounded into the dirt a lot (51 hp lol XD).

TL;DR - My goals are 79 combat and 60 attack and I'm doing slayer (yucky) to raise them.
