My Runescape Diary

You may be aware of my quest for the illusive slayer cape, although the longest skill to train it was the easiest because I really enjoyed doing it, I made loads of money in the process but the cash really was a secondary benefit, slayer is just lots of fun.

My son wanted to see me get 99 slayer so had to get the cape before he went to bed, I had 7k xp to get and enough slayer points to get 10k from the slayer xp option from the rewards tab, I let my friends that were on know about my pending 99 and teled home for some reason (I forget why now) on the way I had an exam, doh! there I was most of my friends waiting and me stood there back at school.

I used my gloves and teled to a dank dungeon below Shilo and ran over to where a small crowd had gathered by Duradel, I like to say hi to everyone personally and acknowledge them being there, thanking them for taking the time to come, I asked Duradel if I could trade in my rewards, being the perfect gentleman he said yes and sparkes flew, woot another level, left the chat dialogue and woot fireworks another 99 for me and everyone around totally aware of it, this was my time, I have never had a gathering for 99 before and I have had a few 99's but slayer was different, I worked hard and long for it and it is not the most common cape.

There was a friend there with a big hammer, my son asked what it was and I had wondered but never got around to asking, it was an Inferno Adze, that meant as much to me as a big red hammer, so asked what it was for and apparently it was from the new beacon minigame, I had the fire ring but never got around to doing the rest plus I needed another firemaking level to make 92 to light the last beacon, Karen said she would help me do it, I had 850ish mage logs and needed to burn just over 700 for my next level.

After all my friends went home Karen and I went off to Port Phasmywatsit and started to burn, im not a fan of firemnaking but it was a lot more fun and easier trying to outburn a friend, I got my 92 very quickly and was ready to go for the hammer, I repaired most of the ladders previously so just needed to repair the wind break on one of the beacons.

Trading logs we managed to get all the beacons filled with logs and off I went to light them, the route I took was
Trollheim teleport then run through god wars to light the first beacon, this had mage logs.
Went down shortcut and ran north to light the Ice Plateau beacon, again mage logs, the god wars cold damages stats so a super restore is required to bring firemaking level back up.
I ran back south to level 40 wilderness and lit the beacon there.
Ran to level 20 wilderness to tele using the glory then Trollheim teleport, used the shortcut to the east and lit the fire there.
Went down the shortcut to the wildy and ran south to level 14 and lit that beacon.
Used games neclace to burthorpe games room ran a small way north to light that beacon.
Used a goblin village teleorb and lit the beacon there.
Used combat bracelet to the monastery and ran east to light the beacon by the black knights fortress.
Teled to Edgville with the glory lit the beacon in the wildy and ran east along the ditch to light 2 more beacons one by the GE the other by the Lumber yard.
Ran to the lime mine by the rag and bone man lit that one then ran to the becaon by the salve at the start of the All Fired up quest and lit that beacon.

Job done, didn't take that long once the preparation was done, used normal mage book and had infinite run from the ogre village quest.

I will write a proper guide when I get around to it but this should help most people.
