Alright, so I got a lot to talk about in this blog post (and a mean a LOT), so let’s get down to it.
\nFirst off, the LST (Local Sightseeing Tour) ends in 12 hours from the time of this post, and I’m super-physicked…to finally be DONE with this stupid thing. However, I feel the final meetup is going to be quite interesting. And that’s mainly for the fact I’m now on the moon with the fastest orbiting period in the game. Even going here, is nuts! This thing is faster than my ship in supercruise!
\nI had to let it catch up to me. I also saw there’s a Crab Nebula Expedition tourist beacon. Damn, do I feel bad for not participating in this. To have a tourist beacon in the honor of the EDEX, is pretty awesome. But what is really wild about this moon, is it’s parent planet eclipsing the system’s star every 45 seconds; how it goes from daylight to “HOLY SHIT I CAN’T SEE!!” in an instant. Finding the LZ with that happening, was quite the challenge.
\nTo say “the best was saved for last” is very true with this mini-expedition.<\/p>\n
While on this subject, I did say how I was never going to be a part of another one until FDev fixed their shit. That was until I saw a link to the ‘Land of Giants Expedition’. From what I read, it’s to explore the giant stars in the galaxy. This definitely has my interest, as I feel “you’ve seen one star you’ve seen them all”. To see these super and hypergiants (some that I’ve yet to see in this game), this would be a good time to warm up my Conda and get it ready.
\nThis expedition is being hosted by the CCN, which means I have to head up to “the second bubble” which is Colonia. I am trying to figure what this “hold-up time” means on the official page on the Frontier forum by asking on the expedition’s Discord server, but so far I haven’t received a response.
\nThe expedition launches on July 9th, which would give me plenty of time to get back to our solar system and fire up the Conda.<\/p>\n
. So as for this whole gear re-imping thing, I got my options. There is another one…but it’s the lazy (and shameful) way, of waiting ’till the Impalong and let them do it for free. But maybe I can go in there and say “for 6 months I’ve been too poor to pay for all of this to be re-imped” (while lying by saying “I’ve been too busy to get my own skills up”..which is the ‘shameful’ part).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alright, so I got a lot to talk about in this blog post (and a mean a LOT), so let’s get down to it.

\nBack to Wurm, as I said I’ve switched gears. I lost the desire to give a fuck about the boat docks (they do their job, and no one’s really going to give a fuck what they look like), and care more about getting my gear reimped at a price I could agree with. I’m having those “why am I paying for something I don’t enjoy” feelings again, and I GOT to get back out there and explore! But I can’t, when my gear needs to be re-imped.
\nThere’s the two options, of either paying for it (which I believe is 10+s), or…going through the LONG and agonizing process of grinding the skill up.
\nDoing the second time, requires discipline to have the insane urge to stand infront of a forge for hours a day.
\nIn a forum post, I tried doing the “I will pay by making bricks” thing again (in order to offset the cost). Yet I bet I’ll either get “bricks aren’t going to pay for my deed” -or- “thanks but I can make my own(with much higher quality)”.
\nThe fact this game refuses to have the phrase “easy and quick” in how to start going about getting the skills I’m requiring to imp to 80QL, I’ve considered..maybe possibly temporarily giving B2 control of my deed and joining another deed (in order to help hone in on the skills).
\nI feel I would be better prepared, if I had help (because everything would be available to me). Maybe even to the point I wouldn’t need the Impalong anymore. Yet I just don’t feel that anyone would take me in…just to do this. They’ll tell me how to get started on my own.
\nThe fact my mine has no Copper (or at least I haven’t found any yet), I can’t even re-imp my gear. Plus the Iron I have, sucks (it’s only ‘Normal’ quality). Yet what sucks more, isn’t the fact I need high weapon and weapon smithing, but a high mining skill in order to get high quality lumps. The last one alone, is deterring me from even starting. It’s bad enough standing infront of a forge…but standing infront of a cave wall and constantly select the Mine option. I HATE repetitive tasks (especially clicking the same action, or hitting the same macro key)!!
\nThis whole thing is simply because of the way I was raised up as a child. When everything has been given to me over the years (and I feel I never had to work for anything)…. then suddenly it stops and “you must do the work yourself” confronts me…, FUCK that noise! And this feeling is why people ask “are you new?”. And as much as I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from ever being talked into Wurm by Angry, it’s not going to undo it. Believe me…I tried, SEVERAL times. It’s impossible to erase the memories (good and bad)!
\nHowever, unlike real life, I don’t<\/em> mind working with other people (yet only for one time). As long as they only ask once, sure I’ll be glad to help. But if they make it a habit…go ask someone else to do your ‘slave work'(which is why I’m no longer a Mod on the MRT Server). Single tasks, to me, feel much more enjoyable than repetitive tasks (which is why I enjoy questing in an MMO more than doing Dailies). As long as it doesn’t feel<\/em> repetitive, I don’t mind doing it. Sadly, Wurm is full of repetitive (especially ones that take days of non-stop effort) tasks.<\/p>\n
