A brief skilling update, since Twoie's gainz are absolutely batshit.
I didn't plan any DXP skilling on my alt (save the effort for my main, and besides I don't have any level goals for Twoie right now), but I've acquired a fair stock of skilling items from all the Treasure Hunter keys I've been getting from quest rewards, so I figured I might as well use them. I went into DXP with the following stockpile:
- 50 Silverhawk feathers
- 230 Protean bars
- 1150 Protean hides (though Portables saved me a bunch, I'm sure)
- 1035 Protean traps
- 525 Protean logs (Portables again)
- 14 Combat training dummies
- 2 Medium skill training dummy crates (which became 2 Slayer dummies, 1 Thieving dummy, and 1 Agility dummy)
- 25 Protean planks
I used all of it up on Saturday, in ~6 hours; my gains from that were:
- Agility 6 -> 17
- Smithing 11 -> 48
- Crafting 21 -> 65
- Fletching 3 -> 45
- Firemaking 1 -> 51
- Strength 15 -> 28
- Constitution 26 -> 33
- Attack 22 -> 28
- Ranged 16 -> 29
- Magic 25 -> 27
- Defence 26 -> 28
- Slayer 10 -> 19
- Thieving 13 -> 19
- Hunter 1 -> 65
- Construction 1 -> 11
At the end of my first day of DXP, I'd gained ~1.3 million experience on an account that previously only had ~30k. That's unbelievable.
My conclusion from all of this is that Proteans are massively insanely ludicrously OP, especially at lower levels. I mean, holy shit.
