hi this is my adventure log for my sorta-recently made ironman in rs3!
i saw someone else doing this so i thought it was pretty cool
my current goals are:
- quest cape (not overly attached to the idea of getting a quest cape, but the last quests i have available give sick rewards, so i’ll end up getting it from just finishing out the ones i want)
- figure out some early bossing to get some gear upgrades
- have fun!
you can give advice and info, but i might, and more than likely will, not end up following it. i’m generally do care a bit about efficiency but i won’t try out content before i think i’m ready and i won’t do content i find unfun, even if it’s more efficient
a good amount more afking later, and i'm done with sandy title! thieving menaphos market guards for offerings makes this process way quicker than any other afk option, and gives a couple of resources that are really annoying to get otherwise, namely extra fine sand and vital sparks
got the hunter pet while doing some mindless arc grinding! i remember going for it on my main with the same method and i'm pretty sure i ended up giving up on it, so it's funny that i got it on the iron now while just grinding for salty title
as for the salty title, it is both faster and slower than i remember it being somehow. hanto armor and weapons feel like a joke for how bad and expensive they are. even at release, i doubt anyone actually used these unironically for any reason besides fashionscape
120 thiev achieved while afk! got a ton of herb seeds in the way from afking while working. tbh thieving xp is kinda fake, it is crazy fast p much no matter what you do. in time to get the inverted capes too!
i just got my third onyx core! i haven't been doing much besides herb runs and flash events while working this week, now i'll probably stop doing flash events forever. so nice to drop a daily permanently!
lucky first drop! it might be the best thing to get first full stop! i don't mind if i go too dry now, though a first piece of TFM would be a big dps boost aswell. current setup below
the pots are in order elder ovl, adren renewal, vitality burst, super restore, vuln bomb and guthix rests, if you can't recognise.
i have runes for disruption shield and veng, but i'm not comfy enough to press even more buttons yet, so they're useless there. same for the vit burst, i barely if ever need it but sometimes i click it for fun.
the aura i'm using mainly is equilibrium, i'm consistently getting 1:30 if i play properly or 1:45-1:55 if i fuck up the adren renewal (i have some difficulty with it). invigorate is a huge amount worse for my setup but i wanted to keep grinding, and it results on the depressing 2:00+ kill times you can see.
and that's me second one, i got to 117 thieving just trying to get these 2 drops and they're not even that useful i don't think. i enjoy collecting though! and it was very afk
a lot of that kc is from before they nerfed it(call it a nerf because it made the common loot a lot worse but the chance of getting the core actually went higher), so i have no clue how deserved it is or not.
i already made the first one into the dark facet of grace, not sure what i'll do with my second one yet? i don't actually own a lotd yet, and i haven't even used 10% of my pota charges. i guess i'll hold on to it
and there's the last new item from the update besides the heist ones, i believe.
fun update, i'll be doing a lot of heists to finish 120 off and honestly probably 200m by the time i finish all the items. the xp rates are honestly wayy too high but it's been a while since rs3 had pickpocketing targets that actually gave anything meaningful at all

my next big goal is learning and grinding rasial, ideally until i have a full set but i'd probably stop if i go really dry on the boots or gloves. when i was playing leagues, i did a good amount of rasial and have a little more confidence in trying it out here, but i'm a lot weaker here!
down below is my current checklist of what i need to grind and/or remember to bring! if peeps got tips, i'll gladly listen!
decide between using t90 power or tank armor, sorta leaning into power right now even as a learner (if bringing power, grind out the plates to upgrade the boots and gloves to t90)
fix armor perks for the armor i want, imp4 inv4 bit4 r5c4 (biting is useless since i'll be using equilibrium, maybe i replace it with something else? lucky or absorvative)
fix relics (conservation of energy, fury of the small, death ward)
farm up another hydrix for DTB (only useful until i get my first piece of TFN or after i have the whole set)
grind out the last few points to unlock disruption shield, bring disruption shield + veng runes
stock up on necrotic runes
potentially stock up on hellhounds, already got 100
make a batch of elder ovls and adren renewals
make a batch of vitality bursts if they don't look too annoying to make
decide between guthix rest and sara brew, and make a batch of those
bring dreadnips, expensive spices, excal, a couple of portents wouldn't hurt
i'm back to posting, i played a lot then took a break and recently came back because the thieving update looked interesting! these are what my stats are looking like now
yesterday i finished the last of the new batch of quests so now i'm up to date!
honestly ever since extinction, the writing has been really mid, current quests feel like just a series of events that happen with no meat. eclipse of the heart, the latest big quest, is the closest to having as interesting characters and dialogue as extinction, i really enjoyed that one, i hope they keep it up
for another boss that i've been grinding and just finished, i've done a lot of k'ril!
1664kc later, all with necromancy, and
log complete! first boss log on the account, really chill one! got the pet real early, at 94kc, and last drop ended up being the subj boots, which i got right before the last dupe to use for necromancy gear!
if anyone is looking for a small guide for how to do it, this was my setup
penance aura necessary for keeping up pray, i've heard of methods without pray at all and still fully afk but wasn't able to replicate. you can use ectoplasmator + dung necklace for prayer upkeep without auras, and i did it for a while and it works great, but i ran out of ghostly essence
perks are c4r5, b3, inv4u, demon+dragon slayer, p6g, e4u
jas book just for stats, kiln cape not needed (t70 armour t90 weapon)
just remove death skulls if you don't have kiln cape
if you need help or questions lmk, but it's really chill! was a fun grind!
after about ~70kc i wanna say?, they were all 4mans, which is 9 kills per hour, so that's a lot of time spent there. i planned to stay until i got the torch, because the item is fun. turns out tho, i got it last
i shall come back to it eventually, to complete the log, but for now i'm fine like this, i am doing other grinds
