Day 9 - Lesser vs. Greater Evil



Sir Ceril Carnillean of Ardougne had put a contract on retrieving his family heirloom (chest armor), which was stolen by a bunch of cultists living in an underground sewer system close by to the Carnilleans. I went to look for them there and quickly stumbled upon one of them: the cultist told me that they'd stolen the heirloom because they wanted to drive the Carnilleans away, for the estate they lived in originally belonged to the cultists' leader, the Zamorakian Mahjarrat Hazeel, who had been driven off by an angry Saradominist mob.

The cultist wished to be rid of the Carnilleans through poisoning them, so I took the poison he gave me and added it to the soup the Carnillean chef was making. It was a success... but only partially: the family dog was killed, no-one else. Since the family grew alert of poisoning, the cultist scrapped the idea and instead wanted me to help revive Hazeel, using a magic scroll hidden somewhere in the Carnillean estate.

Searching around the estate, a hollow wall revealed a secret entrance to the attic, where a chest contained the magic scroll in question. Using it, Hazeel was revived, and though I refused to join the cult, he rewarded me for my efforts regardless.

In other news:
-500 total level reached!
-No burnt pages from Wintertodt today. :( Got a magic seed though.

Day 10 - Total Status



Now that I'm past the 500 total level mark, my stats are as follows:



After reaching 85 firemaking or so, I decided to add some variety by training barbarian fishing alongside Wintertodt, to passively train agility and strength as well. 30 to 48 strength and 20 to 47 agility have been both done only via barbarian fishing, the latter of which is especially useful.

Also, from Wintertodt in total, I've trained construction by repairing the braziers, from 20 to 43, saving roughly 900 oak planks had I trained construction normally. It's awesome passive training, and I should be able to get at least 50 construction that way by the time I reach 99 firemaking, which would unlock portal chambers pretty early for me.

In other news:
-An Ardougne monk couldn't sleep at night due to his child's sleeping blanket having been stolen by a group of bandits; I recovered the blanket and became the monk's friend!
-Received some burnt pages again today, as well as 250 total Wintertodt kc!

Day 11 - Questing Spree



Felt a sudden impulse of doing quests today, so I went and completed:
-Tree Gnome Village
-The Grand Tree
-The Fight Arena
-Plague City
-Biohazard
-Imp Catcher
-Sheep Shearer
-Druidic Ritual

All the attack exp gained in particular allowed me to wear rune weapons now, so I also went to kill some Zamorak warriors for a rune scimitar, which only took 3 kills (1/50 drop rate)! Not sure if ironman luck was best spent on getting a rune scimitar early, but there it is.

In other news:
-More burnt pages from Wintertodt, business as usual there.

Day 12 - Chivalric Virtues



Second day in a row when I felt the urge to do lots of questing, this time completing:
-Client of Kourend
-Dwarf Cannon
-Murder Mystery
-Merlin's Crystal
-Holy Grail
-Black Knights' Fortress
-Recruitment Drive
-Observatory Quest
-Priest in Peril
-Gertrude's Cat

Can't keep doing this for too long though, because if I start gaining too much constitution exp, it's gonna make Wintertodt more of a hassle. At least until 99 firemaking that is.

In other news:
-My first kitten grew into a cat! I was thinking about raising cats for West Ardougne citizens but it feels like 3 hours of semi-attention for kittens in exchange for 200 death runes (~36-40k gp worth) isn't really worth it.
-I got 76 fishing so I can catch sharks now... but it's too slow to be worth it. :P
-Wintertodt gave me nothing special today, sad.

Day 13 - Digging for Kudos



Third day in a row with a lot of questing, completing the following quests:
-Doric's Quest
-Ernest the Chicken
-Goblin Diplomacy
-The Knight's Sword
-Misthalin Mystery
-Shield of Arrav
-Clock Tower
-The Dig Site
-Jungle Potion

Whilst doing the digsite quest, I also earned over 100 kudos in preparation for reaching the fossil island in the somewhat near future. It took quite a while to find the ancient symbol to complete the quest though.

In other news:
-Reached 61 woodcutting, so I could use a dragon axe now, but I still haven't gotten one from Wintertodt at 333 kc. Instead, I got several duplicate pyromancer pieces and burnt pages today. It'd be so nice to get the axe from Wintertodt already though. :P
-10M total exp reached!

Day 14 - Close To First 99



Spent almost the entire day at Wintertodt, from 94 to 97 firemaking, reaching over 420 kc in total, still without a dragon axe or the pet. It's starting to look like I'll fail to roll the RNG to get both again, as I did before while playing as a regular account.

It made me think about my future plans and I came up with the following: after 99 firemaking, I'll only remain at Wintertodt until I reach 75 woodcutting and 55 construction from training there. For woodcutting, it gives me access to magic trees and a good foothold for regular woodcutting training, and for construction, level 55 allows me to build stash units for hard clues and an armor stand for barrows gear repairs.

Still praying to get at least one of the two said rares from Wintertodt before I move on though.

Day 15 - Baxtorian Life



Yesterday I was at Wintertodt almost exclusively and the remaining time fishing, today was pretty much the opposite. I managed to find a bottle with an elite clue, with a relatively easy first step too, and almost reached the fishing level needed for my dream fish. At Wintertodt, I gained one more level, so only one level left to 99... still without an axe or pet.

Day 16 - 99 Igni



After 2 weeks of vigorous training at Wintertodt, I fully learnt the Igni sign:



Sadly, just as I failed to get a dragon axe and the phoenix pet on my regular account, I failed to get either of them again as an ironman before reaching 99 firemaking. Now the last chance to get them before I move on is by the time I get 55 construction from Wintertodt (scrapped the 75 woodcutting mentioned earlier because I found a better alternative for it). If I'm to get either one of them, it's gonna come to the wire, unless I eventually come back for the phoenix in the very distant future.

Fun fact: it took 500 rounds of Wintertodt to complete 99 firemaking.

In other news:
-Reached 82 fishing and I can now catch the best fish in the game: anglerfish! Even if I fail to get Heron by the the time I reach 99 fishing via normal training, post-99 Heron from anglerfishing could still be realistically possible sooner or later.

Day 17 - Tomemancer



Well, not much happened today because I was fishing and subduing Wintertodt as usual, but an unexpected surprise did drop from Wintertodt: second tome of fire. It's rare enough to shock but not enough to be on the same level as the axe or even the pet. And since I was already lucky to get it before, the second copy is pretty much useless, yet a memento.

2 construction levels remaining before I'm done with Wintertodt.
