Apparently I'm the first NA crafter to reach bone 100! Woo! (FFXI)

The things people say! In the middle of Besieged, I MTed into /say. Some chick pounced on me, then started /telling me:


(Her name blacked because she was nice, just rather confused and wouldn't believe that I really didn't have bone 100.)

The conversation went on for a while after that ("You're not bone 100? You sure? You sure?"), but I was rather busy trying to keep the last general alive, so didn't get a second screenshot.

In other crafting related news, there hasn't been an ice bead sale on all of Midgar in 6 days. c.c Darned beads, I was about ready to vendor the whole lot of them, just to get rid of them. As a last ditch effort, I contacted a woodworking 100 person who just bought a ton of ice ores (she has a pet GSer to synth them for her) and offered her the made beads at the ore price. This would have been a fine plan except the price of ores have fallen 40K since I bought/made mine. :/ So I lost 400K on these darned beads, and still have two left to sell. That's 400K just on these ones I had waiting to sell, not all the ones I made previously.

Oh well, at least most of them are gone! I sent half the money to Thistle (his funds were distressingly low) and spent the other half on gold for Chaser to skill more. I really should have sent it all to Thistle, but I'm getting twitchy from not skilling.

Tomorrow is COR static! Yay!

Maybe it's time to start another crafting mule and take WW to 100 :p

/em ducks and flees.

Once I'm done with gold, I am going to do other crafting mules! Wood is low on my list though, as we already have multiple 100 woodworkers on the LS. I'll probably do clothcraft next, then smithing, then bone. Cooking and alchemy are too easy and will be the very last ones I do. Probably woodworking before them. Assuming I play long enough and remain sane enough to do all this! :P

Thats... alot of mules.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd have to add any mules, though I haven't sat down and counted noses yet. Let's do that now!

Cloth: Katerwaul in Windy.
Smithing: Fishingbot in Sandy
Bone: Hmm, might have to move Sandy mule #2 to Windy (Yagudokisses -- fitting for Windy!)

That leaves Cooking, Alchemy, and Wood and only one mule left (in Jeuno), but man, by the time I get five mules to crafting 100, FFXI will likely be shut down! :P I'll worry about it later.

Thistle of Midgardsormr -- Widely known as the first NA bonecrafter to hit 100, Thistle is something of a legend in his field. According to a popular story, Thistle was so good that he would toss away NQ scorpion harnesses in disgust should he fail to HQ. According to another widely known (if highly dubious) rumor, Thistle eventually quit bonecrafting altogether when he discovered that there is no such thing as a scorpion harness +2.

Later on in his career, Thistle turned his attention to Besieged. It was said that he attended every Besieged over a two-year period, leading Midgardsormr to a perfect record in that period. Until a fateful day...
