Getting ultimated gear before F2P...

In that middle of summer Romu000 finally reached a couple of good goals.
First is to have 1Mxp in every skills (Level 73+). And second is to have completed the ultimate armour with the mighty dragonfire shield.
90 attack and defence, 96 strength, fury, trimed skill cape, dragon boots, Bandos armour and dragonfire shield makes romu000 a mellee fortress.
I got the money from my cobra egging activity, air battlestaves crafting and most of my banked coal.

So, now i have almost the best set available, why not to go and see the use ?
A try at some low monster was funny : i was fast insulted at yacks by other player, even if it was fast xp for me too.
Next, those green dragons in Chaos tunnels. Luring the black baby dragon is not that hard and the green don't hit much. unpoted, i used 2 monkfish per load of bones/hides. I will have to consider that way to get the 45k missing dragon bones for a prayer cape.
Then, doing some more slayer... DFS is a strong plus in combat : defence and strength !
All was goin well until i start being a *****.
I got an iron dragon task. First attempt : forgot dds. Second attemps, after some weapon switching came an alchable drop (rune mace)... i clic the highalch spell and missed the mace. OMG : i alched my whip. I loved it. That the weapon but especially THAT whip. Since i bought it i never died or lost it... until my fingers went wrong.
You'd say, it's ok but, it's only a start.
later, when i visit Duradel for a mission, i want to see my slayer points (for that mask)... and i click on the text about the ring reward... OMG i wasted 50 points for a ring i don't really care.
Even later i got a 70+ steel dragon task. With the summoning, the visage drop and the new slayer task distribution, the 4 steel dragon per world are under high presure. after trying like 25 worlds, i couldn't get any for myself. So i decided to waste another 100 slayer points to ban those task.
Then, after all those bad thing, all came better. Duradel, as a comprehensive skill master gave me mithril dragons for one task on two... A very fast way to get points back.
My first attempt at mithril Dragons was what i expected : stress and fun. Being well prepared (ruby/diamond bolts and melee protect), i managed 3 kills on first try... up to 6 in my last one.
Now i consider keeping my rubies and diamonds for fletching more bolts for that use.

Romu (irl) is about to be away for a couple of weeks. On top of this internet connexion need an upgrade and that can take several weeks under a possible cut. Two good reasons to stop membership for that period. Skilling will continue with banked maples for a firemaking cape and a prepared bank for few other activities (mining, fishing, woodcutting and FOG).
