Gz, isn't this also useful for slayer?

Barbarian assault was added in January 2007. Not sure if true old school, but at least it feels old school. Another cool minigame.
Cheerio! Technically yeah, but prayer slayer is better when you have a high prayer level (70+) and access to proselyte armor; the extra strength bonus from fighter torso would greatly speed up prayer drain and not be worth it.

Didn't you say duplicates can be alched? 8)
If they aren't useful and can be stored in POH, yeah. Zamorak chaps are useful for general slayer ranged training and for GWD, so I'm gonna keep them in the bank when I need them, and they don't alch for much anyway.

It would be an interesting math exercise to determine the probability of getting at least one full barrows set in 419 kills. I believe you deserve it now.
On average, I should've gotten one of every Barrows item by 350 chests, but if I don't get a single set by 500 chests, I'm gonna do a special RNG rant again.

*gasp* The actually useful rune heraldic helm exists?! :O

Now I can do 2 more clue steps, but I still need another one before putting them to stash units.

Saradomin robe legs

Woot, finally a vestment robe bottom, and the 2nd-best one as well!!!

I've been using a vestment robe top and monk's robe bottom for bursting, and not only are the vestment robe legs slightly better (4 extra magic accuracy), but they're better for fashionscape too! I would've preferred Armadyl to match the robe top, but this is the next best one.

Gilded plateskirt

Ahh, this is the ironman dream: getting extremely rare, but monetarily average drops, which on a regular account wouldn't be of much joy, but on an ironman stand out as proof of having earned it yourself rather than buying it off of someone else.

I'm not 100% sure, but this might be the rarest clue reward I've ever gotten: it's certainly my rarest clue reward on OSRS, but I don't know about the RS3 drop rates to say the same there. Either way, very cool! It also counts for the elite and master clue collection logs!

Well, that's very misleading to say the least. When rolling the dice six times, you will on average get one of each number, but what is the actual chance of that happening?

5/324

Don't look at it like that, instead look at an individual piece... and then repeat it separately for all the other pieces!

Very cool, gz! Pics of you wearing it please?

Gz on the other clue rewards too 8)
Cheerio! I put in some other clue rewards as well (except the karamja gloves):

~~ New Pet Received ~~

Beaver

It's only been 16m total exp since Tangleroot, and again I got a pet from a method that I never expected to get it from!!! Sulliusceps have an awful base chance for woodcutting, so I expected to cut redwood trees post-99 for the pet (eventually). So again, the bonuses from level-ups didn't really affect the chance in a significant manner.

But once again, Beaver follows my usual skilling pet formula: if I get it, I get it between levels 90-99, not before nor after. It also helped to form this nice pattern that I've had as an ironman:

Tangleroot at 95 farming
Heron at 96 fishing
Beaver at 97 woodcutting

Still got plenty of skilling pets left that could fall in line with that: I wonder which one will be next, but it has to be at either level 94 or 98!

I'm guessing and hoping for the giant squirrel.

The chance of getting Beaver at 97 woodcutting per sulliuscep cut is: 1 / 340,575

Well, when you get lucky with pets, the balance has to be maintained with garbage Barrows RNG, right? How can I get the worst Barrows item 3 times in a row ? Meh.
