Today, after having spent an eternity as a watcher at Wintertodt's prison, I was finally able to get my dream pet of years past: an adult phoenix!
Years ago, back when I still played RS3, I got the phoenix eggling pet pretty early on and it became the symbol of my RS3 account, but I was never able to get the adult version since it was never possible to. Then when I joined OSRS and saw it was possible to get it there, I kept hopelessly trying to finally complete my dream: first as a non-ironman, then as a normal ironman, but it took till the ultimate ironman to finally get it.
In total, across all the accounts, it took me almost exactly 4000 Wintertodt kills, with an average of 3 rolls per kill. For those who don't know about the drop rates, that translates to roughly 2,5x the drop rate dry.
Thanks to everyone at Wintertodt who wished me luck, and a special thanks to
CattytheFish
, a hardcore iron who was the only person to predict when (which day) I would get the pet, and who did so with just one guess.
Now at last, my watch at Wintertodt has ended, and I can look forward to new adventures!
