Thanks ^.^

And no thanks Oi, I'm on a long dry streak solo and I want to break it, so whenever I feel like TDing it's gonna be solo till I get my next claws. Plus I'll need the money saved for when I start on melee.


-Day 5-

After a bit of slayer I managed to get another Kuradal Dungeon task, which was Steel Dragons, pretty short but not too bad for maxing some weapons.

On my first trip I took the remainder of my Diamond and Onyx bolts, hitting nothing notable with onyx, but matching my Diamond max twice. So it looks like I could already have the max hit for Diamond (in Kuradal's Dungeon), I will however be testing them with Void + Overload only (no ring), to see how the max hit differs and check if the ring actually works with the spec. I will still need to do a considerable amount of maxing with them in castle wars at a later date.

It's also noteworthy that I got a pair of dragon legs from the steel task, which helps pay for some of the ammo used.

On my second trip I decided to finish the task off using hand cannon, to help verify the current max hit I have for it, which turns out wasn't the max because I beat it, so I'll continue testing. Blew up 3 cannons killing 15 steel dragons -.- hand cannon is turning out to be much more expensive to max than I was expecting, guess I'll have to buy even more of them.

I'll start posting a progress log with each day of maxing so you can easily see what is done, what still needs done and what has changed etc

-Progress Log-

Mage Short (spec) - Not Complete (--)
Karil's X-Bow - Complete (++)
Dragon Darts - Complete (++)
Zaniks X-Bow - Not Complete (--)
Toktz-Xil-Ul - Complete (++)

Morrigan's Javelins - Complete (-+) (cw)
Morrigan's Throwing Axe - Verifying (~) (cw)
Dark Bow - Not Complete (--)
Hand Cannon - Verifying (~)
Crystal Bow - Complete (++)

Key:
(++) - Very sure
(-+) - Not 100% sure, but unlikely to continue
(~) - May have the max, but still testing
(cw) - Requires testing in castle wars to compare against Kuradal's Dungeon hits




-Supplies Restocked-

Diamond Bolts (1000 - 1.6m)
Dragon Bolts (200 - 1.4m)
Onyx Bolts (200 - 1.8m)
Hand Cannons (3 - 850k)

You mean ruby? I might put it in for fun, probably worth doing, I guess people would want to see it sooo.


-Day 6-

Quite a long break from maxing, didn't really feel like it was a week ago I last did any, so I thought I better start doing some.

I managed to get a greater demon task, and the only weapons really worth maxing on them that are left are msb and Zanik's X-bow. I decided to start on MSB first, I spent a couple of hours trying to max it yesterday, and didn't get very many decent hits. But went again today and on my second spec, I got what I'm fairly sure is the max combo. I will have to do a small amount of testing in castle wars though to verify the max for a single spec hit, to make sure void/ferocious ring are stacking with the msb spec properly. I just combined yesterdays maxing with today's because It was only a couple of hours and I didn't really get much done.

Finished off the greater task and got a few decent combos, so that should be msb finished. After a few task changes and a mith drag task, I got a steel dragon task, so did some more hand cannon maxing there and managed to beat my old max by 1, which I'm now fairly sure is the absolute max hit of the hand cannon. After getting that hit, I banked to switch weapons and finished off the task with Onyx bolts, which didn't hit anything worth keeping.

Keep the maxing up! 6/13 isn't too bad :P

If you ever need someone to max on in castle wars, just ask.

Thanks ^.^

Should get back to vid after I get a few things sorted for new website.

Also I've been thinking about Max Hits With Melee 4 and basically just how much work it is just for one video, that can be completely ruined by a single simple update from Jagex. I have a weird feeling that there will be some high level updates this year too, which chances are will boost the max hit of many weapons. (e.g. there looks as if there is a new fremennik helmet coming pretty soon, and I'm assuming there's a good chance it will give a good str boost).

So I've been thinking of splitting the max hits videos up into smaller ones, with maybe 1 or 2 weapons each video. Then maybe release a few compilations of the smaller vids to Machinima every few months containing more of the weapons in a single video (similar to 1, 2 and 3).

-This would make the videos a lot less stressful for me (not having to worry about updates, spending so much time and money on a single vid etc).
-It would allow me to upload maxing videos for new weapons when they come out (rather than having to wait till I've done everything).
-I would save massively on hard drive space doing a couple at a time, rather than having huge 100gb folders for them.
-People get to see maxing vids more often, rather than having to wait months.
-I'd be much more motivated to work on them if each vid doesn't seem like such a huge freaking task. It's not really very motivating to save up about 100-150m all in one go, which you know you're going to waste on a video that is going to take like 100+ hours of work which you may need to start again at any moment.
-Reduces the risk of leaking (Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJvdLsdt8Zk)

Max Hit With Range 2 will still be finished as normal, because that's still quite a bit easier than melee overall and I'm already over halfway done (plus range very rarely gets damage increases). But any decent new weapons that come out after the vid will likely get put in their own video.

Let me know if you think it's a good idea, or if just carrying on as I have been would be better. The vid is just becoming too big of a task imo for 1 video and personally I would much rather split it up for purposes of motivation and not having this huge task looming in the back of my head that I need to do before another update comes.

I think that's a much better idea. It's a good way to get more videos out there which is a good thing. Makes it seem like you are doing more work >_<

Idk how you do it tho. Spend hundreds of millions on making videos and gaining next to nothing in game other than exp. I guess sacrificing time/money in rs gains Subscribers tho lol.

-Day 7-

Had a lot of tasks outside Kuradal's dungeon lately and been busy with other stuff, so not done much maxing.

Had 1 iron dragon task, so did some Onyx maxing but didn't hit anything worth saving. The bolts seem to get used up fairly fast on metal dragons so it can be fairly expensive. No notable drops either so it was a pretty lame task.

Managed to finally get an Abyssal Demon task yesterday, second one I've ever had from Kuradal and first one while maxing. I am going to be maxing Dark Bow (specs) and Dragon bolts during this task. Dragon bolts seem pretty good against them, I notice the special attack occurs more often than it did on Dark beasts and I managed to get a new max hit fairly early in the task. I'll continue trying to max them for entire the duration of the task, to see if I can hit any higher, or around the same. There is one fairly big problem with maxing the Dark Bow, and it is the fact that Abyssal Demons like to teleport you around the room. So sometimes when you spec and the demon is too far away, you'll instantly appear next to it and it can mess up the camera view a bit. I try to stand close when doing the spec, but they still sometimes wonder off just as you're about to attack them so it's quite annoying.

By the end of the task I managed to match my max 3 times in total, so it may be possible that is the max. I didn't get any decent drops, not even a ferocious ring, so looks like I'll have to carry on with my 1 charge :(

Got Spiritual Mage task after, then a 184 Dark Beast Task. I'll probably do the whole task with Dragon Bolts, if I don't beat my max, then I'll leave the max hit as what I've currently got.

-Day 8-

Used Dragon Bolts for the majority of my Dark Beast task, managed to beat my Dragon Bolt Max by 1 :D

Also got a few decent Dark Bow specs, I'm fairly sure I know what the max is for it, so it's just a case of actually hitting it which could turn out to be pretty time consuming.

Also used a few onyx bolts towards the end of the task, but didn't beat my current max with those :(

Finished the Dark Beast task and after a couple of other tasks managed to get an Abyssal Demon task. I'm most likely gonna use this task to max Dark Bow spec, and if I manage that, finish the task off with Zanik's crossbow.

I will try to get started in castle wars with Dragon an Onyx bolts sometime soon, I have a feeling that I may have the maxes outside castle wars already, and wanna try castle wars a bit to see if it hits any higher before spending more money on Kuradal maxing. I'm pretty sure I have a good method planned to maximize the amount of maxing that can be done per game with these bolts.
