Changes, and team players

In the newest GU, this Ancient Teachings Master for guardians is going to be slightly changed, making it fairly essential

One thing I try to pride myself on when in a guild, any guild, is keeping an eye open for things that other people need. I check the broker fairly often, and have a list of what people may be looking for. If I spot it for sale and they’re not around, I try to pick it up depending on the price. I use my own discretion of course, and since I am typically reluctant to part with money for masters it’s not a bad method.

When I saw the little gem above for sale, I remembered that our main tank needed it, and I combined the money off of all my characters (and a few friends lent me some coin) and bought it. Remember I just spent 25p on a baby dragon, so this purchase was hard to make. But in the next GU, the master is going to be changed, and it will only have 100% chance at going off if it’s at master quality. That’s a huge difference to what it is now. It’ll be one of those “must haves” because the last thing you want is to put up tower of stone and not have it work at all at that dire moment. Now, I don’t play a guardian, I never have. But I at least listen when others are talking about them. I was so excited when I picked up this master, I hope the main tank still needs it, I should have checked first but I was afraid it would get scooped up before I had a chance to go purchase it.

Gothun sent me tells today from the Bazaar, it was nice to chatter with him, apparently he’s contemplating moving servers again, a little disappointed with the one he’s on. I made some suggestions and we’ll see where he ends up. No raids tonight which I’m glad for, I really enjoy having both Sunday and Monday as raid free days, gives me time to craft or quest or whatever little stuff I want to get done. Or just sit around and watch paint dry. Either way, it’s all good.

Today, going to try to get Dasie’s music box done finally. It’s not a hard quest I’ve just been procrastinating. I finished her Vessel of Fyr’Un yesterday. It’s not the legendary manastone 2.0 but it is the treasured version of the same thing, and better then nothing. Anything I can do that boosts up Dasie’s power regen is a good thing. She’s almost at 6,400 power now and edging further every time I manage to get an upgrade for her. I’m very pleased with the class. I don’t mind my other classes, there are certainly days where I’d love to just stab or explode something and have no worries at all aside from keeping my own ass up but I still think I really shine when I play a healer. That sounds completely egotistical and I don’t intend for it to be, there are plenty of wonderful players out there who know their classes inside and out.

I’ve been working on Dasie’s house lately. I spent a plat and bought some odds and ends for it, book shelves and built her a loft and a “play room” type section above the main room in East Freeport. It doesn’t even come close to comparing with Stargrace’ home, then again what does *grins*. I can’t believe how much of a housing fanatic I am. I suddenly found myself with a surplus of roses (house items from valentines day) and just about burst into tears because I adore them so much. I’ll be sure to post pictures of Dasie’s place as I add more to it. Stargrace’ house still needs books, but that’s on hold. I like to work on the house of the character that I am actually playing, and since I’m not playing anyone lately aside from Dasie.. her house has priority. If that makes any sense at all.
