My Runescape Diary

I have continued my cooking marathon, the victory of 99 cooking is within grasp.

A little tip to help anyone with the same task is to use a calculator like the one available with Swift Switch, If you look at the xp especially when in the last few levels it can put you off totally, instead look at the amount of sharks you need to cook, it is easier to appreciate your progress.

When I started this task I needed 35k sharks to be cooked, but I kept watching the amount of sharks and it goes down quite quickly, every time you enter another decade it is quite an achievement, when I hit 29k sharks that was a major breakthrough, then 19 hey where making good progress, I hit 15K and I'm well over half way there.

Its better to watch a number going down than going up when you have a task to complete.

Woot 95 cooking

Nice I can now make summer pie, not sure what it is but im sure its tasty.

Another mile stone 96 cooking

Now I have not done much work to get these sharks, I have had a friend to do it for me.

This is where the Muppet bit in the title comes in, he had a trade with a player in wildy was pked and lost some sharks his words were about 300k's worth so not a great deal, there is no earthly reason to trade in the wildy, if someone in the wildy wants to trade with you ask them to come out, if they wont they are going to kill or get a friend to kill you and take your stuff.

If you meet this situation you have a choice, get your ancients magic and go own them, ignore them or go and give them your items. I know which I choose.

And now for the second Muppet, he went to world 2 and did a trade, he was scammed and lost about 3m worth of sharks, the reason for him getting scammed was he got a bit carried away and was making lots of money and getting good deals, he forgot on this occasion to check the second trade screen properly, he accepted and was scammed big time.

This highlights the importance of always taking your time do not get greedy and check everything twice (this is how father Christmas works and he is pretty wicked at it, ok he only works one night a year but he gets one hell of a lot done in that time).

He was quite apologetic about it and was irate and very annoyed at being scammed of my items, when it happens put it into context, all he lost was about 3k sharks about 3m worth, all it is is a picture with a number on it, I lost a few pictures with numbers on the scammer may well lose his account, I can get more pictures but he cant get back the work he put into his account he has to start again.

I do not hold it against my friend he has done me a great favour getting sharks for this challenge of mine, he has made a mistake and he regrets it, friendship is far more important than a few pictures, he will continue to help me and I will continue to help him, he wont mind me calling him a MUPPET, in fact I only call my friend noobs, I never call anyone else noobs, probably because there are so many I would be calling it all day.

I will make a post dedicated to the word noob later.
