Hello all,

I have been meaning to make my own blog for a while now and have decided the time has come. This will be a combination of my goals and a monster log, with the odd hint and tip thrown in there.

Now, just like most people I like to have money but the problem is the conventional ways of making money don’t really work for me...(something to do with a short attention span <_< ). So in short I have decided to combine my main interest of training combat with making money. I will be doing this by killing dust devils....and a lot of them! So when I said I was going to create a monster log, maybe a dust devil log would be more accurate....but anyway I digress, onto my goals.

Firstly and most importantly to me I am hoping to achieve level 90 strength. For this I need a further [size=7]2,556,258 XP [/size]which equates to [size=7]6,087[/size]Dust devils or [size=7]213,022[/size] Chickens :o .

Here is a visual guide to how much work I need to do
Posted Image

Goal #2 is fishing level 76. If I intend to kill 4.7k dust devils I will probably need to catch some food. Level 76 is the minimum level I want reach so I can catch sharks if the feeling should take me. I doubt I will fish for sharks though as I understand they are rather unwilling to be caught unless you have fishing level 90 or higher.

Posted Image

Goal #3 is cooking level 80. No point catching a shark if you can’t cook it....

Posted Image

Goal #4 is to make as much money as possible, and herein lays my choice of dust devils.....the all elusive drop of a dragon chain body!!! :o

The problem with this last goal is that the dragon chain body drop is somewhat rare. There is approximately a 1 in 20,000 chance of getting it. :mellow: Should I get this drop I am unsure if I will sell it or buy full dragon (sort of destroys the whole ‘making money’ thing but meh, full drag looks sweet) Fortunately for me however, dust devils have a plethora of other decent drops :D , which I was going to list but have decided I can’t be bothered...just take my word for it.

The main message here is that if you want to kill monster for money, or simply want something good to train on kill dust devils. If anyone chooses to heed my advice there are one or two things you should know....
Dust devils may appear to be a challenge at level 93 but I assure you they are not. On average I kill about 100 per trip and that’s using only lobsters as food and I usually leave because I can’t hold anymore drops rather than I’ve run out of food.

The dust devil dungeon (smoke dungeon) is located in the kharidian desert so water skins are advisable but not essential as you will be spending very little time in the desert if you make use of magic carpets. A very very very very very important thing to note is never ever go into the smoke dungeon without a facemask or you will die very fast.... I think I’ve made my point.
The only drawback of training here is what you have to do to gain access. To get into the smoke dungeon you must have at least started the desert treasure quest and completed it up to the part with some mirrors (you don’t have to do anything hard to get to that point). Alternatively you can fight them in the chaos tunnels with no quest requirements. Oh, but you will still need a slayer level of 65 or higher to actually fight the dust devils...

It really doesn’t matter what form of attack you use just bring you best gear and prepare to have fun!

Here is a picture of me in the smoke dungeon :D

Finally I must apologize for the length of this post...I study A-level English Language and have lost the ability to write anything less than about 5 million words long :unsure:

I have been working on this goal for some time already so I have modified the xp needed and so on to what it was when I first started. Tomorrow I hope to post about how many dusties I have killed so far along with a screen shot of all the drops.

I have decided to break my strength goal up into seperate mini-goals as I progress through the levels. Here is the first

Hope you don't go mad with all of the red d'hide vambrace drops. You'll think it's a dragon chainbody every time. But then again, so does everyone else.

So far I have killed 1,403 Dust Devils which equals 589,260 xp. Here is a screenshot of all the drops I have received:

The arrows look like iron in the pic but they are actually rune :D

If someone could do me the favour of trading with me so I can get a screenie of the total worth of the items I would appreciate it. They will have to be a member though as most of the items are members only.

With the combined might of the new Grand Exchange Database and the magic of exel spreadsheets I have calculated the total worth of my drops so far to be 1,132,329 gp. :D
That's an average worth of 760gp per Dust Devil which puts me on course to have made approximately 4.5mil by the end of my task :D

Well I decided to do a spot of questing. Completed Sea slug, slug menace and kennith's concerns. In regards to the latter quest.....THAT KID IS MESSED UP!!! Anyone who has done the quest will no what i'm talking about, anyone who hasn't....well they'll just think i'm weird.....or weirder than they already did.....I'm gonna stop talking now.... :unsure:

Soooo moving on... I am going to attempt Recipe for disaster. Don't really know anything about it, skill requirements, quest requirements, what i need to do...so i guess we'll just wing it and see what happens :D

Wish me luck, i'll almost definately need it

Well, having completed all that I can of RFD (up to the final fight) for the time being, I am moving on to the Horror from the deep quest.

After that the plan is to train strength to 87, then do desert treasure, then do the final fight of RFD. At some point during this I promise I will come birdy hunting with you Senator Hydro. :D
All of the above are most certainly easier said than done
