──[ Combat ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
Most of the month was spent idling my combat stats at the Gemstone Crab. It felt
like a bare minimum grind that would be better than not playing at all. XP rates
were surprisingly high, and it was cheap, except for Magic. With how AFK it was I
didn't feel like it was a complete waste of time. The melee stats cost me about
60K GP/h in Blood moon set repairs, and Ranged cost me about 20K GP/h in Adamant
darts and Ranging potions. Magic would average 420K GP/h in runes, while providing
the lowest XP/h of the combat styles, so I stopped at level 95.
──[ Queen ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
One of the remaining Elite Diaries I have is Desert, and that requires the
Kalphite Queen head. With a stored Kalphite task from Kuradel, I got a few KC this
month too, but still no head drop. I'm close to drop rate and have a strong
feeling that I'll be there until KC 256 for the guaranteed drop. The fight and
getting to the fight are pretty agonizing and unmotivating, so I've been trying to
take it slower.
──[ Crafting ]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
The Crafting cape teleport had been a goal of mine for a long time, so I decided
to finally finish it off. It didn't take too long making Diamond amulet (u)s, and
I think it was even slightly profitable. Can't say it's one of the most fun or
engaging activities though, so it took me a few sessions of one to a few hours
each. But I was rewarded with the best infinite bank teleport, so it wasn't all
bad.
──[ Wyrmscraig ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
Unlocking Wyrmscraig at the end of the month was pretty big. Unfortunately the
Crafting minigame gets added right as I'm finishing my own 99 grind, but the
bigger interest is definitely Mortimer. Superior-only Slayer creatures with a
choice and modifiers, one being increased superior chance, sounds insane. I did a
few tasks already, and unlocking all the upgrades will probably be one of my goals
for the next month. His unlocks come at 15, 25, 40, then 50 tasks completed, so it
shouldn't take overly long.
──[ Unlocks ]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
Went over the drop rate before finally getting the Pendant of Ates, so getting
back to the Gemstone Crab would be faster. While levelling Sailing to 62 for
Wyrmscraig I finally got the Sailor's amulet along with a Facility bottle. The
little bit of Slayer I did at the end of the month rewarded me with my first
Abyssal whip.
──[ Flipping ]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
Periodically I visited the GE to maintain my flips. Over the month, I traded 10m
items for a total profit of 114.4m, paying 109.9m in tax with a 96.8% success
rate. The average profit per flip sat at 76.6k, with a median of 67.8k. My best
single flip netted 803.6k, while the worst loss capped at -171.7k. The most
profitable items overall were Blood runes, Zulrah's scales, Steel cannonballs,
Demon tears, and Revenant ether. The biggest losses came from Blood moon
chestplates, Camphor planks, and Trouver parchments.
──[ Bonds ]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
This was the month I finally switched from paying real money for membership to
buying bonds. I noticed a dip and bought the first at 11,051,000 gp, then the
second and third at 11,116,128 gp each for a total of 33,283,256 gp. I thought
going for the triple bond option for the extra 3 days would be best.
──[ Chores ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//───
Keeping up with bird houses and herb runs isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
They really break any momentum I build up, so I ended up neglecting them. Kingdom
of Miscellania even saw some of that neglect. I've just not been invested or
immersed enough to bother.
