Four days what and happened in those 4 days, well, I was crafting at Rockheim and came out to find I had a visitor. MadMagus what right there chopping trees. Awesome to see an old friend, spent a few minutes chatting and went on our way. But I kept looking at the mini map. Felt really good to see him going from place to place. Next time I'd like to spend an hour or so just fishing and chatting.
Exciting times for me these pact few days, I have been levelling a few alts. So NO exciting is not the word, more like DULL and BORING but I need the space, the houses are full. Started transferring stuff from the houses to the alts yesterday too, and that is as exciting as watching paint dry, but it has to be done.
Also lost a pair of pets for an alt as I walked into in a house in AC. Some 300+ grinder repeatedly being told he is a "traitor" spawning the "killers" and his Ptery killing the killers in the little room upstairs. Unfortunately the killers spawn upstairs and downstairs and as soon as I walked in ZAP two pets gone. I made it upstairs and told the gut "You killed my pets" and get back, "I lost my doggie too". Very sympathetic, OK now to get out and just before getting to the door he spawned another group and BANG: STA! Map 0.0
Did some grinding and have myself up to 570, afraid I will be there for a while though as I need to replenish some stock I have precious little of the things a miner needs, meteor and soul stones and of course the magic trunks. Yesterday consisted of making Mithril ingots and storing them, I have a lot of mithril tools to make. Which of course is also bringing up my stock of meteor and soul stones, but that is a slow process. After this will be the cutting of trees and replanting seedlings.
Also will be making some gold crafting L:500 axes. Need gold yo get more pets and get ready for level 600 quests. And to push my EXP up I will do some some other crafting with the thought of "Succeeded in Failing" philosophy. So there will be some pretty boring days in my immediate future.
What can I say, FT is an expensive place to live, a little gold here, a little gold there. Gold trickles in but goes out by the bag full.
Say, that sounds like my RL wallet and cash flow.
