>Insert Title Here<

First off, I'd like to say that amazingly, there IS a market for grey chinchompas, and that I really regret blowing up my first 100 at Pest Control.

Anyway, trapped my way up to 58 Hunter on Grey Chins, before being hit by an overwhelming sense of BOREDOM!! Guess zeal can only take one so far... Hunting is more click intensive than I thought, given how Chinchompas never learn that box traps are a BAD thing, combined with the fact I need to watch out for my turf from marauders, since Chins can't be shared like Fishing. Perhaps a change in target is a good idea right now.

Coincidentally at the same time, the new minigame Fist Of Guthix had been released, and after hearing good reviews about it from my friend and brother, I decided it would be a good break from Hunter/Skilling overall.

Guthix apparently really does select guardians of his areas randomly, the one in the Fist Of Guthix being a giant...Earwig... He should have stuck to giant snakes.

Objective of the game is simple. You get paired up with a random person in the waiting room



And then you take turns being the hunter and the hunted. As the hunted, you have to run around holding a charging stone to collect charges around the arena, and since the stone is two handed and goes in your weapon slot, you are pretty helpless in this form, and your objective is to last as long as possible to collect as many charges as possible until you are killed by the hunter.

As hunter, just frag the hunted ASAP before he/she collects too many charges. Person with more charges at the end of two rounds wins, and gets a certain amount of FOG tokens, based on how many more charges you got, and how balanced your total level is. An anti-pure measure perhaps?

I heard that free runes were given out at FOG, and I thought to myself "This would surely kill mage training in any other method." Two matches in, I realized it wouldn't. Why?? Because most decent players would hide in the safehouses from time to time, so they can't be attacked. And also, the arena being crowded leads to an even bigger problem, which is finding your target in the first place! Everyone normally goes to the center to collect charges since the rate is WAY faster there, but since everyone is standing in one area, one has to scroll down countless names before finding your target.

Random pairing also has no regard when it comes to your combat level. You could be level 3, and get paired up with a level 138. I got two people with combat under 30. I got 4k charges from each of them before they forfeited. Then I got paired with a 120. It was not cool to get fragged so fast.

All in all though, its a pretty OK game this time from Jagex, and the rewards look okay as well.

On the next one!

I've decided to go after a Hunting skillcape now. It seems fairly straightforward after watching a couple of videos and reading a few guides, and it doesn't seem to take too long to reach, from what I've read. Plus, there's the red chinchompas to look forward to, there's alot of profit in those.

At 56 Hunter currently and hunting grey chinchompas. Just finished blowing up the 150 I caught from 53 Hunter at Pest Control, which I regret doing, since one only gets half the exp than normal when at Pest Control since the nerf. Still it got me to 62 range, and I managed to hit 700+ damage altogether in a single match, a feat I have never done before. Is this alot??

Also learnt how to merchant properly on the G.E, made 150k off in my first deal. Grandmama would be so proud so have a new generation of profiteers to take over from her.

Tried my hand out at Bounty Hunter today, came agonizingly close to maging a full rune warrior to death, but he got away. Had no more luck after that one...

By the way, is there a market for grey Chins, I don't mind selling them off instead if the money good.

I know I'm writing as eloquently as a 10 year old writing now, forgive me, Hunting is more click intensive than I thought...

I Am A Master Chef!!!

Finally, at last, I finally have my first skillcape!! Tim came down specially to celebrate this amazing occasion in the Rogues Den, and has decided to wear a full cooks set for the entire week to commemorate it! You really didn't have to man, but thanks a ton!





I leveled up on a shark, then the both of us headed to the Cooking Guild for my skillcape.






And there's to two of us fooling around outside the Cooking Guild after I got my skillcape. How long I have waited for this day. While we were celebrating, a level 40+ came up to us. Despite his unenviable spelling, he was extremely polite and well mannered, politely asking to see the emote instead of the usual "EMOTE PLOX!!" from most idiots. An example of how not all low levels are idiots. Too bad I can't remember his username, but kudos to you mate!

The appearance of the Grand Exchange and the lockdown on unbalanced trades were real spanners in the works, but in the end, I've got that purple cape hanging from my shoulders.

I don't care about the idiots who are going to say an untrained skillcape is for noobs, for to them I say so why don't you have one?

I shall wear this skillcape with pride!

Now, where to from here? Trim it of course!! But with what other skill??
