Look but don’t touch

My play time was limited last night.  There were several reasons for this, but none are very interesting.  I just didn’t have much time.  So, I decided to finish that tradeskill quest that I complained about yesterday.

The night before, I got up to the point where I needed to craft the first possible remedy for whatever was wrong with the NPC in The Sinking Sands.  I tried to zone into a tradeskill instance and crashed.  I wasn’t having much fun anyway, so that is where I called it a night.

I logged on last night to do the crafting.  I made the first and took it to the NPC.  She exploded in mushroom spores and passed out.  I went back and forth between Qeynos and The Sinking Sands making silly little recipes and watching the NPC flop around on the ground getting sicker and finally denoucing me as a tradeskiller who didn’t know my butt from a gopher hole and sending me on my way.

The quest reward was a new purple cloak with a ring emblem on the back and a book to place in my house.

Of course, loving house decorations, I had to run off and drop it off.  I found a good spot and placed it and nearly giggled myself silly when I saw a noxious ooze start bubbling off of the book.  Seems the book was for the favorite recipes of Bertox and the book itself was somewhat diseased.

For all that I didn’t enjoy that particular quest, the book was a nice touch for someone who enjoys that kind of thing.

Once that was complete, I had to log off because I didn’t have time for anything else.  The crafting didn’t take much time, but the running back and forth made the whole process take nearly an hour and a half and I still needed to get to studying.

I scheduled my exam yesterday.  On Saturday, May 3 at 8 AM when most gamers are still sleeping off their late Friday night play session, I will be across town taking an exam that is scheduled to take two and a half hours.  As a result, I am in crunch time right now so my gaming will most likely be reduced until the test is over.
