Day 4 Prepping for Blue Dragons
Current Trades:
Items Bought: Nature Talisman, Glory x3, Tooth Half Key
Items Sold: None
I need a strategy for blue dragons, initially when I started this account I was an rcer. It interested me since I lamped 1-50 rc I did not train it in f2p osrs. Training magic wasnt a problem for me but after fire striking and failing to obtain a Nature Talisman I pivoted over to mining and smithing. I also skipped thieving training since I was waiting for the update. In hindsight I should have trained it even with the delay the gp would have been helpful. But hey we all make mistakes!
I failed to obtain a Nature Talisman so I caved in and bought one knowing I made a mistake in my build. So I prepped my agility level for a long rc grind.
Lacking a rune axe for a woodcutting path, fishing wouldnt be helpful to me, and not wanting to train thieving I crafted 30k natures and superheated to 80 magic and smithing
The money and darts from mining and smithing was helpful but the money started to dwindle as I bought key items such as laws and feathers for fletching and fishing.
I needed to test something was the bottleneck truly gp or would actually obtaining the death runes be the problem?
Only 7 minutes spent to buy 600 deaths runes and they are cheaper than I expected! The bottle neck is gp this is good actually!
7k Iron bars left and yes the rest of my bank is a bit unorganized but ill deal with that later; I just find doing it tedious.
I dont have the emeralds for 88 smithing and it will take at least another month! But I do still have natures from my rc grind enough for 85 smithing. If I do that I will be forced to make rune axes instead of rune swords. I could get 66 crafting to mitigate the cost but I’m not confident ill finish on time I did not build for it.
Do I get 66 crafting or 85 smithing? I must pick one both have pros and cons. With 66 crafting I could make blue vambraces and sell those off to the general store but I would have to make other sellables to make hoping worth it resulting in me smithing anyway. With 85 smithing I can get it within a reasonable timeframe since I built for it, but I have to make suboptimal rune axes. However I get more useful magic xp for the wildy, and I know I can just obtain more rune ores from my tests earlier.
But wait a minute I know that rng can be a fickle creature yesterday I walked out with nothing but next time I can walk out with everything. It was then I made up my mind I told myself I wouldn’t make anymore 3 bar items since it slows smithing but its my quickest path to some gp.
So I smithed away!
Ok one more try I am not ready to give up just yet!
Now I just need gold and silver, but this is perfect I can make a gold/silver crafting guide!
