My main is stuck in the DWH/Claw/BGS/etc grind of the mid-late game threshold. I needed a break, so while afking some max goals I booted up a mage-only 1 def/atk/str/ranged UIM...which started as a F2P side project, but we're now 12 days into membership and having a blast.
These 12 days:
• Basically following the UIM guide to Priff as much as I can just to set a foundation. 70 agility, graceful, intro quests, 1.5mil at pyramid, etc.
• I took a detour and did some early GOTR (no law, death, blood altars) to about lv66. Actually ended up ditching my small-med pouches and speedrunning ~11 altar crafts per match and still getting ~28k/hr and 3-6 points, which was so chill with one-click crafting.
• I did this until 400 pearls for the ring - it is disgusting for early game, particularly the earth altar teleport for 1) early construction (lv54 already, can store all outfits) and 2) birdhouse runs (lv44 hunter). Fire altar for Al Kharid and Air altar for Port Sarim/Draynor aren't bad either.
• Also came out with mad stacks of runes, like 6-10k elemental, 4k cosmic, 3k natures, ~2000 laws (for the ring), 5k chaos/mind, and random amounts of the rest (it scales down if you're not the proper RC level for blood/death/etc).
• Otherwise been back on the questing grind for now. Also 'banked' MTA points for Master Wand and bought BTP.
What's ahead:
• I need to 'finish' the wildy before I buy my master wand, seed box, rune pouch, etc because I don't trust myself to deathpile properly yet and won't really need those for my wildy goals.
• BIS set: elder chaos robes
• Mage arena I (should be fine, already lv70 mage)
• Mage arena II (main downside here is my HP exp gain is massively slower than my mage exp, I'm at 36 HP. Might need to do some Soul Wars?)
• I'm able to finish the easy + medium wildy diaries
That's about it, I'll keep follow up posts shorter!
