I, Jayhawks 1, entered the world of Runescape as a warrior with past experiences which I felt were relevant to my upcoming challenges. Unfortunately for me, I underestimated the initial problems caused by my lack of familiarity with this type of world. I had a predetermined quest provided to me as a challenge to complete. I found myself placed in the town of Burthope upon entry into the game. This was far away from my desired destination of Lumbridge.
I muddled through the town of Burthope trying to get my bearings and come to grips with this new world. I spend countless hours familiarizing myself with my new surroundings and learning how to use the necessary tools and skills required of this strange world. Eventually I came to find the town of Lumbridge on the map, but it was far far away from Burthope. I set out on a journey that met many obstacles such as not being able to enter certain villages such as Falador or losing my sense of direction and going off track. After endless hours of meandering toward Lumbridge, I finally arrived late one night.
The next day I took on the quest of helping the cook find three ingredients for an upcoming feast for the king. I purchased a map at a store within Lumbridge and quickly identified the areas in which the ingredients would be located. I had no trouble getting and processing the extra fine flour. The special milk was easy to coax out of the prized cow, so things were looking very good. Then came the challenge of finding the super large egg, I figured this would be a cinch since the town had two farms with chickens. After locating the two separate groups of chickens, I brought numerous eggs to the cook from each group thinking surely one of the eggs would suffice. Time after time, he rejected my eggs. Out of frustration, I reached to more experienced warriors who provided the guidance and help needed to find the super large egg in the corner of the stable in northwestern Lumbridge. I, Jayhawks 1, felt a sense of relief and accomplishment upon completing my first quest in the world of Runescape.
