Wintastical's Ex-HC progress thread [2k Total!]

[Program]

I died, Fossil Island is a HCIM deathtrap.

There's a mushroom you jump on to bounce yourself to the mushroom WCing area, it deals you 45 damage. They give you a warning for that, and I knew ahead of time it'd hit me hard. What they don't give you a warning for is the Tar Monsters. Apparently a lot of people have figured out they hang out in the swamp, but I just woke up and was exploring. So I cut a full inv of mushrooms to test it out, then ran south to leave to the bank where a tar monster (random ass creature that appears out of thin air) hits me for a double 9 to KO me. They put all kinds of shit in there to intentionally kill HC's, definitely stay as far away from it as possible if you're a hardcore.

Been a fun run, thanks everyone for the kind words and shit, I'm a lil upset at how it ended (you can hear the excitement in Weasley's voice in the last Q&A when talking about bringing back dangerous randoms to kill HC's, which leads me to believe they made a lot of this new content with killing HCIM in mind lol), but it was a cool adventure and I lasted longer than I expected to.

Aw I'm so sad, I look forward to all of your updates

I feel so annoyed for you I enjoyed this progress, wish you would continue as a normal iron and still update

I'll still play the account occasionally but I've already got a high level ironman, so I won't be playing nearly as much. This was just an experiment to see how far I could get on HCIM

The most annoying part is that I can't even do any of the cool shit on Fossil Island, I essentially died for no reason

 

[JMG]

noooooooooooooooo

do you plan on starting over?

 

[ShipTheFlip]

do you plan on starting over?

Initially I was going to keep starting over until I maxed a HC, but after the way I died I lost all motivation and probably won't be starting over lol. Shitty way to go

They should do rollbacks on users with sufficient proof they've dced. Sad to lose so much progress.

Do it do it! Start over! I'll be cheering you on

Well "A Friend" also died on fossil island, so you're not the only one :/

 

[Bibis]

Damn very cool, dedication

 

[Hkt]

Damn, that sucks. I think it's still worth it to play on it as a regular ironman.

 

[numberten]

Yes play it as a normal iron man do not give it up!OP you have done some amazing work any tips?

I decided to keep going with this thread despite failing to max a HC

Spoiler: Update: 9/19/2017

I decided to keep playing for the time being, even though the entire point of this was to try to max a HCIM. Too much progress on the account to just give up completely

I got 77 runecrafting the other day using this method:
63.2k Runecrafting & 36k Hunter xp per hour • r/2007scape

Here's a short clip of what the past two days of my life have consisted of for 49-77 rc:

77 rc for Bloods has been a goal of mine for a long time that I thought I'd never achieve without getting 99 slayer or doing a bunch of Zulrah for the ess, but I managed to complete the horrible grind of gathering 2,600 imp boxes and 5,200 Arceuus library books to knock it out. Currently AFKing blood runes and it's amazing.

Here's the current stats:

Spoiler: Update: 11/4/2017

It's been a long time since the last update with a lot of shit getting done, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves this update
Stats:

Mainly slayer/RC gains since last update, currently still just grinding out slayer until 87 for Zulrah/other shit
New items:

Got a mothafuckin Z Spear drop from Kril @ 77 slayer, 38kc, so I was able to ditch the Dragon Scimitar super early on this account. Extremely happy about that.

So fuukin awesome man.

What was that runecrafting method you had video'd before? Is that a good way to get RC up from 49?

I really want to get 85 crafting also, did you just grind out docks?

What'd you do for your mining?

Super jelly of the account, very well rounded.

Thanks man, here's the runecrafting method: 63.2k Runecrafting & 36k Hunter xp per hour • r/2007scape
I started that at 49 RC as well, so yea it works just fine as long as you have 70 HP to enter Zamorak GWD to hunt the imps and 77 or whatever hunter level it is to catch the imps. The xp scales with level, and you can only use this as a long-term method, not 49-60 or something like that, otherwise RNG will fuck you

For crafting I did Tzhaar thieving, requires 99 Thieving for the skillcape perk and Ardougne hard diaries, to PP the "gem knights" for tokkul/uncuts, you use the tokkul to buy gems from the new Tzhaar gem shop and cut/craft them into jewellery (spelling) for xp. Comes out to ~260k Thieving xp/hr while banking ~60-70k crafting xp/hr, then the process of crafting the gems for xp is something like 70-80k xp/hr

For mining I did this:

It took some time to figure it out, as far as I know I'm the only one who mines this way, but once you get the hang of it it's super relaxing and actually fun to do. Kinda hypnotizes you haha. I'm using Stickykeys/mousekeys in the mining guild with Varrock Armour to mine/drop iron for 77k xp/hr
