finally...

yes! the skull sceptre's finally complete. a fair few months of searching, and there it is.

no! what do i do next?

edit: okay okay. i'll take a cue from the keywords. a skull sceptre just looks nice. stats; nothing much to speak of, the only good thing about it beyond that whole cosmetic bit is the ability to teleport to barbarian village 5 times before it disintegrates. or vapourises. or whatever. haven't even used it to teleport before, don't know of anyone who has...

edit 2: saves a space in your inventory if you're in the wildy, rather than teleport runes, but why anyone should want to bring that thing into the wildy is beyond me...

just today. (boringly).

today. involved.

• mining.
• and more mining.
• of coal, then iron, then coal, then mithril, then coal, then gold, then mithril, then iron...
• entry into the mining guild! at last. so many coal rocks! a let down since there's no addy to speak of, but so. many. coal. rocks. so many that you don't even have to wait for respawn time. so many that i am able to formulate a hypothesis that members, upon venturing out into the real world, resort to lowdown undignified tactics because they aren't used to the real world. so many that there're 37, or so i've estimated.
• smelting.
• and more smelting. of steel and gold bars.
• venturing out into the great unknown. with a colour, search-engine equipped, overview-possible map. i.e. going to the wildy to hunt chaos dwarves. and getting nothing but gp. then seeking to explore the lava maze anyway, only to find i've forgotten a knife. a lousy knife. now i do know i deserve to return to
• smithing. steel plates, mainly. and one skirt, and one sword. and
• making >45k! yay!
• finding myself without a goal for the rest of the time. and promptly logging out to blog.

ohyes. record carried over from last time. in the meanwhile i've

• met the rock golem and defeated it! ahahaha. picked up one coal, and savouring the feel of being the victor because more likely than not the next time we meet it'll be lvl 120. that was at the mithril rocks, in any case. and don't come to me for advice, (not that you would, anyway) because quite honestly it was something of a fluke. since f2p has such limited bank space; armour: princess blouse, princess skirt, leather vambraces, leather boots. ammy: power ammy! shield: black square. wep: addy pick. food: one apple pie. attack: everything, haphazardly. prayer: 0/37
• cap'n hand. ~800gp. at the main coal rocks.
• the mom, at the same coal rocks. mysterious box.
• and unrelatedly, while high alching, the mom, en route the mime stage! my first time.

apparently i've developed a liking for lists. back to the real world now.

(italics too! [em] [/em] :D)
