Yak To The Shadows update:
I got a good start on this third Yak Track thing. I have completed the first 5 tasks.
Task #1 was completed by listening to Moorrissey's yakstory. Fun fact: As usual, I was listening to 1st Wave on Sirius XM while playing RS, and as I began talking to the yak they played "Ask" by The Smiths. The lead singer of The Smiths is named Morrissey. Perfect timing!
Task #2 was to mine only 70 ores of coal or better. I did better and mined 100 coal at the Barbarian Village. The other choice was to smelt steel bars or better.
Task #3 was a pleasant surprise - FINALLY combat was an option along the F2P Yak Track!
I happily chose this option over stringing a lot of bows! I had to kill 445 monsters, so I went into the dwarven mine and did the entire task there, killing scorpions and king scorpions.
Task #4 was between catching 95 fish or cooking 555 pieces of food. Easy choice! I went to the Karamja dock and harpooned fish. After four trips to have Stiles note the fish, I more than completed this task by catching 54 swordfish and 52 tuna.
Task #5 was completed by going to the Kharid-et dig site and excavating Venator remains until I found a Zarosian insignia (which I quickly discovered after finding one piece of Third-Age iron and one chunk of ancient gravel). I then teleported to Varrock, where I donated the insignia to Soran. At least he thanked me, which is more than can be said for any of those miners I saved from the king scorps.
Next, I am smithing 35 items of steel or better to complete Task #6. That will only take slightly longer than smelting 560 bars (steel or better), and it won't be a drain on resources I'll probably need for future tasks. Looks like I'll soon have even more rune arrowheads.
Since it's Zarosian in flavor, I expect this Yak Track to be a big hit with Kristen!
