With all the new challenge accounts out there (location restricted, tile restricted, etc.) I came up with an ORIGINAL challenge that can ONLY be done on Alora....an account that is restricted to training the bonus skill of the day.

 

I knew the account had to be an ironman, so to make it even more interesting I chose HCIM. The XP rate is decent and there's an additional challenge to not die. For some people that's a non-issue but I afk PVM way too much, especially while I'm working from home, and I have died on 4 HCIM this way.....so I'm sure it's inevitable.

 

Anyway, I created the account yesterday and although I probably could've timed it better, it did in fact turn out to be a decent day to start the account...Yesterday's bonus skill of the day was Hunter so it allowed me to get a decent amount of items (armor/weapons, seeds, herbs, potions, gems, ores, bars, etc. even a ring of life which I'm sure will come in handy). I focused much of my time on catching Implings, which isn't great XP but it was for the purpose of getting items/resources.

 

Today the bonus skill is construction and unfortunately, I don't think I can do anything... Without 10m to buy a house, my original plan was to do Wintertodt on my main, which is going for 200m, and when the brazier breaks, I'll just step in with my Bonus SotD account and fix the brazier for easy construction XP. This would've been a great strategy, as I got to mid-50 construction on a previous HCIM account by the time I reached 99 firemaking. Not bad, however to my disappointment, you actually do need 50 firemaking just to enter WT...I thought it would've been 50 firemaking to add logs to the brazier.

 

On the same note, I originally wanted to train WT at 10 hitpoints for obvious reasons, but committing to that strategy would limit myself more than is realistic. I would be unable to play this account for something like 12 out of the next 18 days, which would be boring.

 

So, here is my current strategy over the 1st full cycle:

  • (22 Construction) - can't do anything, at least I don't think so
  • (23 Defence) - through slayer. It's going to be very interesting using an iron warhammer and literally hitting 1's
  • (24 Strength) - through slayer
  • (25 Hitpoints) - since there is no Attack bonus skill day, HP days will be my Attack days
  • (26 Range) - through slayer
  • (27 Prayer) - bones collected from slayer and hunter
  • (28 Magic) - through slayer
  • (29 Cooking) - cook food collected from slayer and hunter
  • (30 Woodcutting)
  • (31 Fletching)
  • (01 Defence) - through slayer
  • (02 Strength) - through slayer
  • (03 Hitpoints) - attack day
  • (04 Range) - through slayer
  • (05 Prayer) - bones collected from slayer
  • (06 Magic) - through slayer
  • (07 Cooking) - will probably not be able to train, unless I somehow have raw food from slayer drops
  • (08 Woodcutting)
  • (09 Fletching) - need to make sure I save enough logs for Wintertodt, which'll require 50 firemaking
  • (10 Fishing)
  • (11 Firemaking) - 50 firemaking, then wintertodt. Will be doing WT alongside my main, who will need to fix braziers, make the potion & heal the NPC
  • (12 Crafting) - will be able to use the leather collected from hunter to train
  • (13 Smithing) - again, from items collected through hunter and also potential slayer drops
  • (14 Mining)
  • (15 Herblore) - from items collected through slayer/hunter
  • (16 Agility)
  • (17 Thieving) - I was hoping this bonus skill would be a lot sooner to build up a nice cash stack for runes & for addy scim but I guess that won't be the case. I can still buy addy scim @ Shayzien
  • (18 Slayer) - I will either be making this an "off day" since it's being trained on every combat skill or I'll give myself the freedom to choose which combat style to also train on this day
  • (19 Farming) - ah, my beloved farming skill. I should have plenty of items by now to finally start training this relaxing skill
  • (20 Runecrafting) - I already have some essence from implings, but I'll have to try out the new RC minigame on my main to see if this could be an option for my restricted account
  • (21 Hunter) - by now I should have plenty of materials so I'll probably just do red chins until I'm able to catch dragon & lucky imps for better loo

Then it's back to square one and I'll be modifying my methods as I go!

 

This turned out to be a longer and wordier post than I thought, but I had fun writing this all up. Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for checking it out!   :)

 

UPDATE #1 - I somehow missed the fact that there is NO attack bonus day, so I'll have HP days be my Attack days

UPDATE #2 - Defence was a tough first combat skill to train... I blew through all the food I collected through hunter on my 2nd slayer task (rockslugs). As I expected, I did not a single hit above 1 lol meanwhile rockslugs were hitting me 4's. In retrospect I probably should've kept resetting my task to get cows (for cowhides/bones) or for men (for herbs, caskets, and bones). That would've been a lot smarter, but oh well.

Cool concept!

Definitely going to be challenging in its own way and definitely be needing to take advantage of certain SOTD skills!
