Intermediate questing

Because I've completed all of the "easy" quests in runescape (except for the final half of the rag-and-bone man quest, which really isn't easy at all), I've moved on to the intermediate quests.

Not too much to whine about here. Elemental workshop 2 was highly annoying. If you want to make a mind shield, it is imperative that you do not have the "new" book with you. Use the old slashed book. I decided just to buy the shield after messing up.

Another hint: If your bar comes around still orange, send it back into the water tank. Make sure you get the right order of the valves.

The Dig Site was another annoying one, as it's very long and very boring. Helpful hint: If you can't find the other "winch" (the first one to go down without the weird guy at the bottom), look in the smallest, northern pit at the top of the digsite. Can't say i felt much love for this quest, though it is one of those pivotal quests that all the other ones require.

The Feud was a very fun quest with a great reward. Knocking people out with a blackjack is really quite something else. I love those desert quests! They're so interesting.

Garden of Tranquility was the worst, overall. This quest takes a minimum of an hour, if you're incredibly fast. Basically you have to tend to gardens all over runescape....not fun. I recommend growing marigolds and rosemary as protection for your crops, then doing watering rounds every so often. The ending was kind of disappointing, the rewards weren't great, but hey, it's another one of those pivotal quests. Side note: The scene with the falador guards was kind of depressing.

Kennith's concerns: This quest made me feel like Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. Ninja mode ftw! At the end I really wanted to strangle that little brat. Seriously! It was like the exorcist except over a choo-choo train. BTW, these slug quests really creep me out.

Wanted!: Interesting quest, kind of fun. I like Savant. Savant makes me totally feel like Snake. More quests with Savant! The ending part actually had a really awesome cut scene, which is rare in intermediate quests.

Despite a few fun quests, intermediate quests are fairly boring. They're usually pretty long, with lots of puzzles and very few fights. The rewards range from very bad to very good, so it's a little unpredictable. I sometimes wish there weren't so many of them....
