The other side of life...
Jun. 2nd, 2005 10:02 amApparently, I haven't give up on EQ2 yet. I decided to work on crafting last night after work, so after looking up the recipes I'd need in a more understandable format (a tree showing everything I'd need to do to get to the end result) I went and gathered two entire zones worth of raw materials so I'd have something to work with. Used up most of them, too.
The general merchants sell what look like harvesting tools -- a fishing rod, a gathering knife, a mining pick, and so on -- but as far as I can tell they don't do anything. I bought a set halfway through the gathering run and it made no difference whatsoever... but took up valuable inventory slots that I needed when I was actually crafting, so I eventually sold them back.
So, ( crafting. )
There was a broker in the crafting society, so I checked on the prices of buying spell scrolls from other people. There was a grand total of one spell for sale that I could use... for five gold. Five gold == 500 silver == 50,000 copper, and I'm still counting coppers here.
After that I went out on the commonlands to do some quests, and got stuck in combat mode a few more times, although solo I just needed to kill any random wandering critter to get back to normal, so it was a lot less frustrating. This time it started happening after I had to run away from a huge group of 'heroic' orcs that spawned on top of a treasure chest I was trying to loot from the previous owners of that location. Grr.
