Moumix reminded me that there was a dragon slaying taking place on release, but for some reason my mind saw that as a drake* slaying, and I assumed we’d be getting a piece of leather instead of a piece of scale. It was a pleasant surprise when I noticed the scale. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to keep it or sell it, I have a set of drake that I finally finished not too long ago (even if it is all sorts of colours combined) but I am very far away from ever owning a scale set. I think I might have enough scale at this time to create a single glove.
That IS how I managed the drake set, little pieces here and there until I completed the set. It took me a number of years, so I’m not exactly confident that I’ll get a scale set any time soon. It might be better to just sell the scale, and use it for other items.
Anyway. There were about 300 people in local, which seems fairly regular for these types of events. Afterward I took my characters back to Deliverance, where I’ve been working away on my deed. I need approximately 3,000 more bricks and mortar, and I am all out of slate so that means I need to do some mining. In the meantime, to procrastinate, I’m working on my leatherworking. I just reached 80 skill, and I am trying to push for 90. Then it will be time to continue the push in weapon smithing. I believe I’m at 60 right now, but I’d like that skill to be closer to 90, too. Unfortunately it is a very annoying skill to work on.
Then there’s meditation. I’ve got 60 skill right now, but I’d love to be closer to 70. None of these skills are ‘hard’ per say, they just take time. A lot of time.
As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!
