Some firsts ...

Post by Obitus Dator » Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:05 am

Today, I:

Spurred on by Kuradel with a task to kill Jad - tried for a fire cape for the first time.
Filled potion flasks - for the first time (yeah, I know - noob).
Switched to ancient magics - for the first time (yeah, like I said - noob).
Wore my sparkly new superior seasinger set - for the first time.

Wiped out every wave in fight cave without touching my food or potions!!
Then got killed by Jad, 'cos I couldn't prayer switch quick enough (took too long to recognise Jad's attack types) @-)

So then I went and did a GWD boss - for the first time. Solo :-SS
... and kicked Zammy's general's ass.

Still a complete combat noob - but it's been a fun day :)

Sounds like a fun day!
I'm gonna try the 'sacrifice ability' approach next time I go in there... Thanks for the tip!

I used sacrifice (and regenerate if I needed it) to coast the first 35 levels, then turned on vampyrism for the latter levels, but to be honest, could probably have managed without that.

Never needed to pray or use any food.

I went mage and safespotted.

Used air barrage mainly (armadyl battlestaff, so this saved runes) - and ice blitz on the little flying gits that drain prayer.
Prioritised the prayer drainers first - then the big melee guys that heal - then magic casters - then ranged - saved the weak melee guys until last and used them as blockers if needed.

Safespotting meant I rarely had more than 3 at once to watch out for, and could regenerate in peace if needed.

Was easy - up until Jad :D

Wow, very eventful day!
You do know that you're obligated to go back and beat the fight caves now though right? :P

Don't worry about dying to Jad, it took me 5 tries to get my firecape... Just think of fight caves as good xp, and that the firecape is a by-product!

Not a noob at all...except maybe the potion flask! Sounds like a great day! Glad you had fun.
