This is a fun pet project of mine I started a few years ago. Just came back after a couple years to start playing again. My overall goal is to complete EVERY piece of content that is available in the Desert including collection logs, combat achievements, achievement diaries, quests and more. But on a more casual grindset.

First and foremost, this is not a "desert purist" account. What that means is I have more exceptions than a normal region locked account would. That being said, all items and skills are obtained and trained exclusively in the desert. Only items obtained in the desert can be used. Any special items or drops I get I keep in a collection tab in the bank.


Exceptions include:
- Leaving to do quests to unlock desert content
- Leaving to do slayer tasks to train slayer (more on this later)
- Leaving to unlock skills (RC and Herblore, potentially Sailing in the future. Hard maybe for content.)
- Leaving to get items, quests or spells for achievement diaries and Combat Tasks)

Accomplishments so far:
- Full Spirit Angler Outfit (needed for Tempoross combat achievement)
- Fish Barrel, Tacklebox, and Tome of Water
- Big Swordfish
- Giant Squirrel Pet (obtained at the Agility Pyramid between 80-100 laps/50-60ish Agility)
- Teacher Wand from MTA (slowly working to all rewards)
- Rune Scimitar (From Tarns Skeletons added with ToA areas.)
- Adamant Crossbow (BIS range weapon currently)
- Silver Bolt Stack (Cross training Crafting and Fletching to unlock MSB and Dragonstone Jewelry)

Current Goals:
- Hard Achievement Diary
- 80 Fletching for MSB
- 82 Smithing for +4 boost to make BIS Rune Axe
- 74 Crafting for Combat Bracelet
- 93 Hunter for Dragon Implings
- Finish Beneath Cursed Sands and attempt ToA.

The Slayer Exception:

So the Hard Diary requires 65 Slayer to slay a Dust Devil in the Smoke Dungeon while wearing a Slayer Helm. This requires both level 58 to unlock Cave Horrors for a Black Mask drop and Slayer points to unlock it. So I currently have 59 Slayer from doing tasks outside the desert and just unlocked the ability to make the Slayer Helm. I won't attempt to get a Black Mask until I hit 65 Slayer. Another Slayer goal is the Kalphite Khat cosmetic unlock which allows me to add a KQ head to the helm and recolor it. This requires an additional 1k points. My goal is to not overshoot 65 Slayer and point boost with Konar to finish getting points faster.

If you have any questions I'd love to answer them! All in all, its an arduous but fun account so far!
