Sometimes, you just want a good 'ol grind

This leaves 8 indagator's offhands, 8 first step upgrade and 8 second step upgrade.

Think I'm going to go do a bit more of the manderville before coming back to this.

Yeah I didn't find fishing too hard. Just painful to watch scrips melt away on the !! fish.

Grats, Gemina! Onward to the relic grind!

Is it that bad? I remember enjoy the Skybuilder Fishing quest. Some of the most chill and pleasant time I had with the game last xpac. Is it anything like that? Or is it worse with the White Scrip consumption.

I honestly can't remember how the Skybuilder's quests went. I don't think I remember the DoL part being that bad. And Crystalline is not horrible. I finished the entire thing in one day. The two !! are more RNG so you're going to lose bait more often and it's special bait you buy with scrips. You can use a macro with Precision Hookset for the two ! fish and you won't lose any bait at all, so it balances out in a way.

Yup, that's the thing, it aint horrific, but it feels bad, heh. That generally is how fishing is, it isn't ever that bad, it just feels ... bad. Regular fishing feels good, but once you challenge yourself, the rough bits, the hard parts, don't feel good until it's done.

Some of the big fish are pretty bad. Fishing is fairly zen. Even this was just a bit painful for the time to get those scrips back. But nothing really horrible. Yet.

I did my miner weapon earlier this week and I need to start working on the botanist one. Haven't had time because of work and resubbing to WoW again but I might try and knock it out this weekend. Was actually surprised it only took a few hours to gather all the collectibles.

I probably am going to skip the crafter relics as I don't really care about them from a glam perspective as I prefer the oversized tools we get from the crafted ones. That and the additional effect seems really worthless to someone who crafts for gil.

Only half way through the DoH/DoL and the Manderville upgrades right now, but I'm also a college student with a life. It also probably doesn't help that I've been doing the Splendorous items from scratch, which adds a lot of time to it. Oh and I'm still using Pactmakers for that because I just never bothered to switch, so when I reach step two I end up having to use 2 full macros for it.

Forgot to say, I did the carpenter offhand, the mainhand, and upgraded to crystaline.
Also gathered up the materials for 100 of the tier 2 expert crafts on carpenter.
3 days of gathering, 2 days of crafting to make the expert.

I won't really think of my project as really done until I've gotten the mount.. what's the point in having shiny new tools if I don't use them, eh?

This is just the first part, though. That effect may improve as well as the glam. The Skybuilder's did not have their unique glams on this step either.

if it still is the same idea as it currently is with it buffing good procs it just is useless to me since I don't rely on the procs and most of the time wish I could just turn them off... I'll wait and see if they get better or become worth it whenever they finish the tools.
