Today, we dive into a journey filled with rare item collection, quest completion, and an epic grind towards a coveted 99 Agility. Join me as we explore Trader Steve's latest milestones, challenges, and the ultimate goal of obtaining a Quest Cape.

Trader Steve's Grand Exchange Chunk: A New Beginning

Trader Steve’s journey begins in the Grand Exchange chunk, a central hub of activity in Old School RuneScape. The Grand Exchange is a bustling marketplace where players buy and sell items, and it serves as the starting point for Trader Steve’s quest to collect rare items. For every rare item worth more than 1 million Old School RuneScape gold added to his collection, Trader Steve can unlock a new adjacent chunk, expanding his territory and access to valuable resources.

Trader Steve’s ultimate goal is to obtain the prestigious Quest Cape, a symbol of completing all quests in the game. To achieve this, he needs to navigate through various challenges, unlock new areas, and complete numerous quests.

The Road to 99 Agility

Trader Steve has spent around 60 days working tirelessly towards one singular goal: achieving 99 Agility. This ambitious endeavor has consumed 10 of those days entirely through the Hallowed Sepulchre. The Hallowed Sepulchre is a challenging agility training method that rewards players with rings of endurance and substantial experience.

Achieving 99 Agility is no small feat. Trader Steve has dedicated countless hours to this pursuit, and with only two levels remaining, he is on the verge of a significant milestone. We’ll take a closer look at how he earned his experience, the amount of money he made, and the rings of endurance he collected along the way.

The Quest for "Making History"

Before Trader Steve can fully commit to his Agility training, he needs to finish a crucial quest: "Making History." This quest is essential for unlocking the "Song of the Elves," which is necessary for obtaining the powerful Bofa (Bow of Faerdhinen). The Bofa is a coveted item in Old School RuneScape, and acquiring it will significantly enhance Trader Steve’s gameplay.

The questline requires Trader Steve to unlock the Observatory chunk, but he faces a dilemma. To reach the Observatory, he must either unlock the chunk to the north, which contains ZMI, or the one to the south, which has Castle Wars. Each option presents its challenges and potential benefits, making the decision a strategic one.

Unlocking New Chunks

Trader Steve decides to unlock the northern chunk, despite its uncertain benefits. This chunk includes ZMI, which, while not immediately useful, might become relevant in the future. The chunk also features red salamanders, which could be beneficial for future endeavors.

In the process, Trader Steve discovers that the Observatory chunk provides access to a fruit tree patch, useful for farming. Additionally, he completes the Observatory Quest, bringing his quest points to 127 and paving the way for future achievements.

The Challenge of Reaching Relica

To continue with the quest, Trader Steve needs to reach Relica, a location crucial for completing "Making History." After experimenting with different routes, he decides to use an agility shortcut and unlock the mountain camp, a safe chunk with a quest requirement NPC.

The mountain camp is a valuable chunk as it connects to Relica and is essential for the "Mountain Daughter" quest. Trader Steve's decision to unlock this chunk proves beneficial, allowing him to progress in the questline without wasting chunks.

The Twisted Coat and Financial Struggles

Trader Steve encounters financial challenges as he continues his journey. He purchases a Twisted Coat Tier 3 for just over 3.3 million coins, which enables him to unlock a new chunk with minimal content but a crucial NPC.

With a depleted bank account, Trader Steve resorts to the Hallowed Sepulchre to earn money. After spending several hours there, he accumulates 5.5 million coins in basic loot. Despite not obtaining a second ring of endurance, he makes significant progress towards his goal.

Completing "Making History" and Unlocking Relica

Trader Steve finally completes "Making History," earning three quest points and bringing him closer to his ultimate goal. With Relica unlocked, he can now focus on finishing the remaining quests required for the Song of the Elves. This includes completing "Morning Ends Part II," which provides a substantial amount of agility experience and brings Trader Steve closer to 99 Agility.

Achieving 99 Agility

After an extensive grind, Trader Steve reaches 99 Agility. This achievement marks the culmination of a long and challenging journey. The final lap of training is a bittersweet moment, as Trader Steve reflects on the time and effort invested in reaching this milestone.

Trader Steve’s journey involved 472 Hallowed Sepulchre coffins, yielding only one ring of endurance—a reminder of the unpredictable nature of RuneScape's luck-based mechanics. Despite this, he successfully earned a total of 200 million OSRS gold from the Hallowed Sepulchre, although the actual profit was lower due to suboptimal rates and luck.

The Path Forward: New Skills and Goals

With 99 Agility achieved, Trader Steve turns his attention to other skills and requirements. He embarks on training Mining, using shooting stars as an alternative to iron mining. This method proves to be efficient, helping him reach 70 Mining.

Next, Trader Steve focuses on Herblore and Smithing, two skills known for their high costs. He invests in Avanto potions for Herblore and decides to Smith steel bars for Smithing. While the methods are expensive, they are necessary to meet the requirements for the Song of the Elves.

Final Thoughts

Trader Steve’s journey through Old School RuneScape has been marked by dedication, strategic decision-making, and perseverance. From collecting rare items to achieving 99 Agility and completing critical quests, his adventure showcases the depth and complexity of the game.

As RSorder continues his quest for the Quest Cape, he remains focused on achieving his goals and exploring new areas of Gielinor. The challenges faced and milestones achieved serve as a testament to the rich and rewarding experience that Old School RuneScape offers.
