New Combat Levels [96 Combat]





Hey guys! I've got a ton of levels that just came in. These are levels where I've been close to for awhile! With my new plan of training strength through slayer, I did smoking kills so I can save up points for a slayer helm. Owning one has been a long term goal of mine. Mainly because they do look pretty sweet.

Right now, i'm using a dragon scimitar to train strength. Most of 94 strength was actually trained at hobgoblins when I was trying to get a challenge scroll. I never did get that challenge scroll but I did get 95 strength. Though originally, I was trying to get 99 strength by the end of November, I'm now aiming for the end of December date. Slayer is a much slower but more rewarding path in my eyes. It will be a long road but well worth it.

I also decided to do two slayer tasks with a whip since I was 50k off 79 attack. Once I leveled, I rolled into 96 combat. I'll now go back to training strength again.

Right now, I'm at 91/400 slayer points for a slayer helm. I hope to get one by the end of the week. Wish me luck! Hopefully, I'll get another update in when I get the helm. Until next time, guys.

94 Strength/95 Combat



I finally made it to 94 strength! From 93, it took me almost 10 days! I was getting so bored at Soul Wars and now I can hardly stand it. I've been taking many PK breaks to help get me motivated.

Right now, 99 by the end of November looks near impossible! I'm going to go ahead and make this 99 goal span over 2 months. Now, I'll have until the end of December to reach 99. Not only will this put less pressure on me but I can explore some alternate training methods which might be a little more tolerable than Soul Wars.

On a side note, it's also my birthday today! Just turned 19!

Thanks for reading guys!

F2P PvP Kills



Hey guys, earlier I did mention I would have some exclusive content that went on here and not on my other two threads (on RS Community and Sal's Realm).

Here is my first bit of exclusive content. I did get a little bored at Soul Wars so I spent most of yesterday PKing in F2P. At first, I was a little rusty but I slowly warmed up. It's been at least a year since I've even attempted to PK.

My very first fight I got completely clocked but this only gave me more motivation to do well. As I continued to fight, i was getting some nice kills with some decent loot.

Above are three of those pks. Unfortunately, I did die on my target fight and had full rune in my inventory. Oh well, it was a great fight and I had still had a lot of fun. Some of these F2P PKers are really good!

As far as videos go, I'm not sure what I'll do next. I'm still trying to play around with different codecs to get my movie to save with the best quality and size. Lately, my videos have looked some what zoomed in during the final product. It's like it's not rendering the whole screen.

Hopefully, sometime this week I'll get a chance to make a video either about a new RS update or some guide which I think would be beneficial to y'all.

If you do read this, I really appreciate it. Also, check out my other threads: http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=251736 and http://forums.zybez.net/index.php?showtopic=1221908. Both of these also have exclusive content. The salmoneus one features really old archives of my account (early this year) and the zybez one has some of my favorite methods to train certain skills (in the second post).

Thanks again!
