Zodi-Yak Track update:

I have finished task #31. I changed my mind about smelting another 2,320 rune bars. Instead, I chose to bury 1,500 big bones, remembering I had bought 3,000 big bones the last time I was preparing to do a Prayer task. Late last night, I found a good deal on big bones on the Grand Exchange, so I bought an additional 2,000 of them.

Task #32 is between crafting 1,930 body/fire runes or fishing 560 swordfish. Ordinarily, I'd go with the Runecrafting task. However, I think I'll do the Fishing task, because I know I'll have a Cooking task coming up - and I'll need a lot of raw swordfish for that, so I'll have to stock up.

Looking ahead to task #33, the choices are Firemaking or Prayer(again). It's a good thing I bought those additional big bones! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

Early Monday evening, I finished task #32. I had to harpoon 560 swordfish. I ended up leaving Karamja with 571 swordfish - plus a lot more tuna.

After reset, I logged back in to start on task #33 by burying big bones. So far, I've buried 420/2,000. I figured I'd take a break to post this update.

As luck would have it, my new daily challenge was a Prayer task to bury 25 bones. Perfect timing! Once I've completed this Yak Track task, I should be close to gaining another Prayer level.

Now to get back to burying more bones! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

On Tuesday afternoon, I finished task #33 by burying the rest of those 2,000 big bones. As I predicted, completing this task got me close to gaining a Prayer level - only 6,474 XP away!

I also found time to go through The Drop several times. The first time, I missed the question about iron ore. During my second and third attempts, the game stalled out briefly at two different points, resulting in a longer delay before the next question came up. When the client finally caught up, I had literally no time to answer the next question! The game told me I had the wrong answer, when in fact it didn't give me a chance at all to answer! Luckily, I made it through all the questions successfully on the fourth try. This earned me the Alone Together title, along with a medium and large XP lamp, plus a medium and large star. I dropped the useless large lamp and used everything else on Mining.

I'm currently on task #34, which is to either fish 730 swordfish or cook 1,525 swordfish/cheese wheels. As I only had 1,375 raw swordfish in my bank, and I find wheels of cheese annoying to make, I opted to return to Karamja to harpoon more fish.

Yes, more fishing. Guthix help me! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

Early Wednesday evening, I completed task #34 by harpooning a total of 732 swordfish, 2 more than I needed. I also ended up with 726 tuna. I now have 2,107 raw swordfish in the bank, which ought to be more than enough for a Cooking task.

Task #35 is a choice between smithing 95 adamant/rune items or crafting 2,275 body/fire runes. Naturally, I'll be smithing more rune arrowheads. How many do I have?

For now, let's just say it's a LOT!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

This afternoon, I completed task #35 by smithing 95 sets of rune arrowheads, which is 7,125 arrowheads. Adding these to my bank gave me a total of 53,525 rune arrowheads.

For task #36, I will NOT be completing 22 floors of Dungeoneering. Instead, I'll be cooking 1,525 swordfish. I knew this task would be coming up. Good thing I stocked up on raw swordfish earlier this week! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

I finished task #36 this afternoon by cooking 1,525 swordfish.

Task #37 involves either harpooning yet another 730 swordfish, or burying yet another 2,000 bones. I'm going with Prayer for this task. I bought 2,000 big bones off the Grand Exchange for 370,000 gp. I paid for them by selling two full inventories of Third-Age iron for 411,712 gp.

Burying 2,000 big bones grants 30,000 Prayer XP. This will be more than enough to get me to the next Prayer level! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

I'm currently working on Zodi-Yak Track task #37, to bury 2,000 bones. At the moment, I have buried 840/2,000 sets of big bones for this task. Early this morning, after I had buried 432 sets of big bones, I reached Prayer level 82!

My Total Level is 1546. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Yodi-Yak Track update:

I just finished burying the last of those 2,000 big bones to complete task #37.

Having no interest in training Firemaking by buying and burning 1,605 magic logs (which F2P can burn, but cannot cut), I will be mining at least 1,245 luminite/runite ores for task #38. I expect I'll mine a few more than needed, so that I will end up with equal amounts of the two ores. This should require five trips to the Mining Guild. Mining - yay!

For task #39, apparently I'll have to look through a telescope. A non-grindy task - YAY!!

Thank Guthix this yak thing is almost over with. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track update:

Early this morning, I finished task #38 by mining 640 luminite ores and 640 runite ores. Sure, I only needed to mine 1,245 ores. I got 1,280.

I went on to complete task #39 by looking through the telescope on Mudskipper Point. Why couldn't we have had a few more simple tasks like this one, as a break from the grindfest?

Because if the Yak Track was actually fun, nobody would buy bonds to skip their way through it, that's why.

I didn't buy any just like last time. Hah! Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

Zodi-Yak Track wrap-up:

I didn't have much time - or motivation - to play Sunday afternoon. I've known for some time there was no way I'd make it through the dreaded Yak Track this time. The grindfest was simply too time-consuming and unpleasant.

I did log in long enough to use my one remaining free skip to auto-complete task #40, as I had no time to finish a grindy Runecrafting or Fletching chore. So I made it 80% of the way through, with no skips bought.

I missed out on getting five cosmetic overrides (wand, two orbs, cape, and goggles) and the cosmic weaver teleport, along with some minor items and member junk. Oh well.

At least I still have my integrity, so I win.
