Welcome Committee

Found a few visitors at my place when I arrived home from collecting some rare forges. I suppose I shouldn’t complain, at least it wasn’t a dragon…

Running Missions (again)
Just flying around in my caracal trainer. I’m still saving up ore to get my thorax prototype off the ground, but mining has been a bit slow lately.
A Little Spending
My accounts all have shadowlands, game time has been topped up, and what’s the point of just having gold sitting around for no reason! So I decided to get into Hearthstone. I’ve played off and on over the years, but nothing seriously, and I’ve never purchased any of their limited edition packs before. Since I was paying in gold, I didn’t mind in the least.
I bought 4 tokens this week which is why I’m in the red, but sales have actually been pretty steady. I know we’re all eagerly waiting for the 13th and the release of the pre-patch which includes the level squish and all of the crafting changes. I’m not sure if any actual events are going to be taking place (like the supposed zombie invasion) but we’ll see what they have ready, I suppose.
I also finally gained the remainder of the faction I needed to craft the Onyx Panther mount from Pandaria. That one was a long time coming. I just absolutely can’t seem to get into the habit of doing dailies.
Here’s hoping next week brings me back out of the red!
Broken Needles & Dropped Stitches
While working on my rainbow wurm hat for my husband, my shortie knitting needle from KnitPicks broke, and I ended up dropping a whole bunch of stitches. I don’t have a replacement needle right now, so I picked up the stitches as best I could with some DPN, and I’m waiting for some super glue to arrive so I can try to fix the needle myself. I could order an entire new set, but mail takes so long to get here these days that I’m afraid winter would be over before I could even finish the toque.
These things happen, but it was still incredibly frustrating. I decided to cast on a new cowl project in the meantime while I wait for the glue to arrive.
Caracal Trainer
I’m still playing Eve Echoes – the only mobile game I’ve ever really stuck with, but things have slowed way down. I’ve been training towards T7 (78% through at the moment) and still have 340+ hours on that. In the meantime, I’ve been hauling my supplies back home because my NullSec area has gotten busier recently, and it’s not as safe as it once was. I spent the day hauling ore and PI back to my HighSec home, and contemplated what ship I want to fly next. I have blueprints for an Imicus and a Thorax Prototype, so that might be where I go. The trainers are OK beginner ships, but they really don’t compare to ships on that tier.
In the meantime, I’m still farming the 500 ore for 250,000 a few times a day. I can’t really do combat missions that reward that sort of cash, so it’s still the best way for me to stockpile.
