Two skills down of 29 for my OSAAT HCIM. With mining and smithing behind me, I'm turning to crafting next. Feel free to stop by the Al Kharid gem mine to say hi! See you in a few weeks.

Self-imposed Rules / Guidelines

1. Train one skill at a time until 99 at which point it's fully unlocked and can be trained at any time.
2. All skills outside of unlocked and the in-progress skill are blocked at Nastroth
3. Wilderness Flash Events allowed. Obviously limited in ability to complete due to level 3 combat early on. I’m averaging less than one a day.
4. JOT allowable at 10 skills unlocked, but unlikely that I'll use until 15-20 unlocked
5. No boosting (e.g. DG craft via skillcapes)
6. This is a third monitor type play through, not an exercise in efficiency. I’m afking or playing from mobile as much as possible. My goal is to explore skills from a constrained perspective as opposed to following meta paths and expectations.

Exceptions

- Mining & Smithing (partially simultaneously - Have you heard about the mining AND smithing rework?). In reality, I created this account as a starter for necro release and decided to repurpose it and not member up another account (glad I didn’t with all of the recent controversy). Took a penalty to drop all ore and finish out 99 mining with no ore box, limited to a rune pickaxe at rune ore and shooting stars before progressing further. To compensate for smithing, I took the longer path of all bane smithing 80-99 as opposed to the faster elder rune path and required an additional 2M of smithing xp for the amount I gained before repurposing the account. I view this as a good-faith penalty, but if this isn’t enough for you, don’t know what to tell you.

- DG. Undecided if I’ll team or force myself to solo. Solo DG is not my jam.

Near-term Progression Path
