Decisions

I went back to slayer this morning and found 149 warped tortoises waiting for me. *shakes fist* Duradel!! After exchanging them for 29 wolves, Duradel assigned me a favorite: gargoyles. I know they are a pain to kill, but there's something so satisfying about smashing an animated stone to rubble that brings me joy. While there, I got a semi unexpected 87 attack. I knew it was coming, but forgot to watch my progress and when the announcement appeared, I fumbled for the PRNT SCRN button.



I took time off RS to help hubby pick out a new 8800 graphics card and flatscreen monitor for his computer. Well, I certainly wasn't missing those crappy assignments I hate, like dragons of all colors and terror dogs. :P I found time to farm up a lot of herbs and some watermelons. I'm over 500 melons short of payment for my 112 pineapple plants. The curry trees are down to only 17 left. I'm getting a little sick of them now.

My last slayer mission for today was an odd yet welcome one - 162 fire giants. I don't normally go looking to kill fire giants since I do it in the smokey well. I'd switched my attack style to strength and they were totally kicking my ass. I checked up on the defense bonuses of the armor I wore and it was middle of the road. There are many armors out that beat the dragon chain; I may has well have stuck with rune plate+d skirt combo for all the protection the chain gives. So I sold it for 10.3M tonight. I lost some money, but not as much as I'd thought. With much dithering, I bought an almost full set of Torags - helm, body and legs - and an uncut onyx gem to make into a fury amulet.

I'm still feeling weird about owning and using a set of Barrows armor because they require constant repair. I just feel as though I'm throwing away money. :/ The body and helm I bought at (0) condition and fixed them at my PoH for about 90k. The legs I bought at full repair. God I am so cheap and it's just a bloody game! Here's me in my best defense armor - quake in your boots! XD
