thistlechaserAh, S-E, masters of the time-wasters. It's Summerfest, which means goldfish scooping. The only positive thing I can say about goldfish scooping is that it hasn't (yet) gotten the changes that real fishing has gotten. Luckily the company was good (<3 Nai), because the event itself was zero fun. And know what? Apparently others agreed: The first year it was introduced, mobs of people were at the pond in Ronf. The banks were lined with people. Tonight? Nai and I were nearly alone; there were maybe 10 other people there with us. But we both got goldfish kits! Yay! They're used in the new fishing tanks, which I want.
After that I finished a series of quests ("The Kind Cardian") which made me travel between Jeuno and Windy way too much. The reward sucked, but the story was really nice (and I freed up mule space by finally turning the card in), so I'm happy. (*checks spelling of that three times* I can never spell 'Cardian' because I pronounce it as 'Cardassian' in my head.)
After that I did the initial footwork to start production of bullets for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barahir. Assuming my game time remains free tomorrow, I'll make a crapload of iron ingots, and then start bullet-making from there. Assuming I can get ore at 600 a piece, and assuming I do not HQ (or fail) the bullets, the iron cost should be 7,200/bullet stack, not counting crystal. Firesand can't be too much more on top of that (and I can make it, if that's cheaper -- I think it is). A stack of bullets is selling for roughly 20K, so you'll be looking at about 50% savings, Bara.
Unfortunately Besieged is broken on Midgar. The mobs have been frozen at 99 all day. Very sad. Since I can't clear my trial weapon on Besieged mobs, I came up with a new plan! I'm going to see if BRD 37 can make an okay reward by singing songs on myself and light healing. I'm about 4-5K behind my static, and I'd like to catch up. (Yeah, I know I'd be more productive as DRK. I'll go back to that once BRD is caught up, or if I can't get okay reward on it.)
Hmm, I need more icons. Getting bored with the ones I have now.
