  • Gotta take the bad with the good

    And god, it was bad!!

    First, a guild mate acquired two chunks of E'cian ice in the bazaar and gave them to me to work on my farwater stuff. I was thrilled. I had the sheets and the jointing ready. I JUST needed to enchant one chunk to have my emblem of water made. Logged on enchanter, made vial of purified mana, tossed it and the ice in the forge and hit combine....."you lack the skills". While I wanted to cry, I tried to stay calm. Things happen. The RNG is a hard master and one that I do not always please. Got another vial of purified mana, grabbed the ice, tossed it in the forge....."you lack the skills".

    *sobs*

    Then I decided that I needed a break from tradeskills. I had the whole day to myself. I decided to try to camp my sacred water for my second earring. This is NOT something I feel comfortable asking for help with because it is a sucky camp. So I decide to do it all alone.

    I log on my cleric on my second machine. If I get the spot broken well, I can 2 box all day. I logged on my hubby's enchanter to pacify for the pull. The mobs are 66th - pacify does not work. That day I learned that 3 boxing is NOT something I can do, especially not with the 3rd machine accross the room. I mez one, I pull, it is under control - but I cannot run accross the room fast enough to remez - and my 3 toons die. Ok, try again. We all die. Try AGAIN. Rinse, wash, repeat! The 4th time I was so addled I forgot to rez myself before I fully looted.


    I was frustrated. So I went to the kitchen to grab a drink. Poured a glass of juice, picked it up, my hand cramped, I dropped the glass, juice went EVERYWHERE, I slipped on the mess and went SPLAT on the kitchen floor. I sat there and cried.

    And then the karma gods decided that I had enough.

    Someone brought me a chunk of ice!! I tried to enchant it - and it did not fail!

    While I waited to find an enchanter friend with JCM3 to make my emblem, I help a group farm earth bow stuff. We got the components for 2 bows. I had just hit 250, I had never tried an elemental bow - and here I was foaming at the mouth at the thought of trying an EARTH bow. You know, the one with the sucky failure rate. I was shaking when I loaded my fletching kit. Success!! Loaded the 2nd - success!! I made 2 rangers very VERY happy.

    Found my enchanter friend, got my emblem, was almost throwing up with tension when I loaded the forge to make boots - and BAM! Success - and one very happy paladin who was still in heraldic boots!!

    Thank you, RNG, for taking pity on your humble servant and making the bad start to the day go away!

    GRATS!!

    Celebrate the good, chalk up the bad to.... what have you.

    Grats again.
    In My (Not Always) Humble Opinion, except where I quote someone. If I don't know I say so.
    I suck at this game, your mileage WILL vary. My path is probably NON-optimal.
