Well, though I try to avoid having this blog seem like a diary as opposed to being a helpful guide type of resource, I’m going to break down and do a little diary entry just so everyone knows I am still alive and doing posts.
First of all, I spotted my twin today. At least outfit wise. This would normally not be notable if it were not for that fact that I wear a fairly bizarre combination of armor. This fellow I spotted was wearing almost everything I normally wear with the exception that he was wearing an Amulet of Glory while I wear an Amulet of Fury. I suppose I will have to change to something even more bizarre so I am unique. E ither that or hunt him down in Clan Wars and kill him.
I also spotted my first Penguin Spy. It was near the granite fields in the southern desert. I was pleasantly surprised that I could spy the penguin without having my spy notebook in my inventory. That makes this mini-game a lot more fun. I will probably collect out my spy points as xp as opposed to gold. I’ve got enough gold and I have no initiative to train my construction, so that is probably where my points will go.
I had planned on doing a write up about the three new mini games released a couple of weeks ago. Those being the circus, the penguin spies, and the falling stars. But the truth is that the circus is really the only one I know much of anything about. Like I said before, I just recently spotted my first penguin and have yet to stumble upon a fallen star. I suppose if I did train up my construction I would be able to get a telescope for the house and get some good location and timing data. Then again, another option would be to join one of the many clans who go hunting for the stars, but that would of course violate my whole antisocial stance to game play. Anyway, expect to see a circus write up soon, but don’t hold your breath on penguins and stars.
I have a few other write ups I am starting work on and hope to have posted here in the coming days. One will deal with what I suggest for Runescape travel tips. Another one will be a write up about an older mini game. In fact, I might have three mini game write ups over the coming couple of weeks. But don’t expect anything about clan wars. As anyone who has read the ‘about’ pages of this blog will know, I do not, did not, and expect to never PK. So clan wars holds no interest to me. However, that being said, I say bravo to the people at Jagex for the update. Though I personally don’t PK, I think PKing is an important part of Runescape and should never have been as limited as it was last year.
One final note. Granite is really pissing me off. Mining granite was supposed to be one of those sure fire millionaire makers of Runescape. But I haven’t been able to sell even one piece of granite for any price what-so-ever on the Grand Exchange in over a week. Plus, granite prices are dropping like a rock (no pun intended). 500g granite pieces have dropped 20% or almost 300gp over the past week alone.
