Smashing my way through quests like a noob running amok at the Grand Exchange.
I've started using the guides by TheCompleteRS again. His are on par with Imsikofit, but paced slower and in real time ( no cuts or speeding up the video ), so its sometimes just easier to follow along.
But even so it takes me at minimum at least twice as long to complete as the video guide length. Sometimes much longer. Stuff he flies through can hold me up for ages, or require many attempts. How people managed to do these quests without guides astonishes me. Sometimes you just have to miss a little detail and you are stuffed with little idea of where you went wrong. Or maybe I am just thick.
Like I will miss speaking to some Npc for some critical piece of dialogue and find later my progress no longer coincides with the guide. Then I will have to backtrack and find where I went wrong. Tedium. Or something else. Like laying a trail of bananas to distract a monkey guide. The guide makes it look easy and says you have about 30 secs before the dropped bananas vanish ( and therefore you have to start again ). Well, mine vanish in like 10 seconds. Start again. And again. And again, until eventually I have done it so many times I have the exact placements memorized, ages later after my first attempt.
ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!
All I want to do is finish all the quests so I can finish all the achievement tasks do all the reqs to get my comp cape, get the master quest cape, and then finally, FINALLY, get on with high level PvM and killing noobs in da wildee.
*sobs*
But them Jagexies wont let me! By the time I get within target they will introduce some new task set, a new skill, raise another skill to 120, and add more content like the Arc which requires more grinding, complete with new comp requirements.
*continues to sob*
*remains defiantly inconsolable*
I failed to keep my New Year's resolution before I even made it.
