/e looks at his widdled fingers, nubbed from countless items of threads, hides, silks, and the countless hours as a Cleric trying to scrounge what little cash he has to work the fine art of Tailoring.
DING ~ 201 !!
Ok, so maybe not a big accomplishment to most these days
But, I picked up tailoring as my first Tradeskill back in 2002, even as a High Elf Cleric, where most did the Smithing routes. I was set and determined to get this one first to GM level before anything else.
Days of Peridot costs did not help in this venture, and farming some of the stuff required was just not condusive to the type of guilds I was in at the times.
DoT costs are now gone, allowing me to save more cash, and even though my worst enimey in costs these days are Mana Batteries #5 for the GVD's I could still save more cash then the old days. Am in a better guild, (Our alliance just entered PoEb this weekend by a successful Earth ring set and 1-0 against the Arbitrator. (Even though I could not make the 2nd day of events since I am currently in Japan)
I am happy that I have been able to finally get across that 200 line, as I been strugling between the 188-200 for so long doing long runs and getting squat.
I do feel for those that got sideswiped in the recent changes, and has made me look at my tradeskill mule more to see what can be quickly used up as I was stocking alot for the hard strech that was to come soon.
