Arrowheads confirmed! > )


...well, not quite, although it would've been funny if I had received him while fletching arrows. But Flo is, in fact, one of the few pets that I got from a daily. Specifically in this case, a daily challenge, which was stringing elder shortbows. Somewhat early too, considering that I usually have to train at least 50m exp worth for a pet.

So now that there's only 5 left (before combat pets arrive), I've made a schedule
for roughly estimating the order in which I should be getting the last few pets:

Herblore -> Slayer -> Smithing -> Dungeoneering

Agility isn't there because I do a daily for it, so it can
either happen at any given day or after a very long time.

Now I'm starting to wonder if I can make it before the combat pets are added! > )

Gz! Runecrafting next, please? Soul altar is still fresh and clean, especially since sweepers visit it regularly. This might not be the case anymore after you have done another 120 first! Cheers!

Cheerio! > ) I finished my plans, and unless Jagex does a game update that influences me to change them, runecrafting will not be the next 120. I still can't tell which one exactly it will be, woodcutting or herblore are the best candidates, but I'm saving runecrafting for later, when I'm forced to afk training.

Haha, congrats! Maybe you should try smithing a few arrowheads for the smithing pet 8)

Did you change construction dailies to fletching after you got the cons pet?

If you need a team mate for dungeoneering, I would like to come some day! Cheers!

500 Helwyr kills in post-orb update, and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to
examine the drop log now and every 500 kills hereafter! > ) So let's take a look:

Sharp-shin said :
Drop Log
Kills done after the update: 500

Wands dropped: 1
Orbs dropped: 1
Crests dropped: 3
Essences dropped: 7

Dormant helms dropped: 1
Dormant bodies dropped: 1
Dormant legs dropped: 1


It took me a while to notice it, but there's actually something pretty intriguing about this: if I was an ironman, I'd be in 7th Heaven right now. Why? Because in only 500 kills (well, less than that tbh, since for the last few kills, nothing special dropped), I would have already gotten everything important from Helwyr: full unrefined anima core of Seren and both the weapons!

On top of that, no duplicates either, which is what ironmen sometimes
suffer from; getting useless duplicates when they needed something else! > )

Other than that, 2 things:

1.
The average drop rate for the bigger drops so far is exactly
1 in 100 (to get any one of them), which sounds about right.

2.
Considering their gp value, it seems pretty absurd that so few dormant armor
pieces were dropped. Especially since I remember getting them much more
frequently in the past. Maybe Jagex has nerfed them at some point?

Smithing arrowheads is terrible exp though, and a waste of money!

And yeah, I did change it back then. Construction is an ok daily, but fletching one boosts my normal fletching training and gives more exp when handing in than construction! > )

So I did another dust devil daily and didn't get either of the last 2 missing Magister journals I needed, but I thought to myself "wouldn't it be hilarious if the wikia was wrong and they weren't actually required for the title?", and so I went and tried... and the wikia was wrong.

I suppose it still requires 1 Magister kill for the title, or at
least 1 of the journals, but all of them aren't required for sure.

The POD, soul altar and Sophanem slay dungeon are still useful for me, but as for the Menaphos itself... once the beach arrives with its exp bonus, it's goodbye Menaphos for me.

Gz on title, but what's POD? Cheers!

Cheerio! POD is the player-owned (slayer) dungeon at the sunken pyramid.

An orb was also received later that hour!

Gz on 2.6B total, 50% milestone next! Cheers!

Cheerio! It's more than 50% though, as exp rates are much slower pre-99.
