02:08 * Cepheid wakes up
02:12 <Cepheid> Way too early to wake up, but I can't get back to sleep.
02:18 <Cepheid> Let's see, not gonna take my vyvanse today. Or tomorrow for that matter. Should help with the anxiety and stress a bit, at the cost of not treating my ADHD for a couple of days. Gonna cut back on sugary foods, and instead of coffee, chamomile tea.
02:20 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2391 [ https://tinyurl.com/y8nreegu ]
02:20 <Cepheid> And yes, I can just up and stop the vyvanse like that. I've done it before without any issues.
02:33 * Cepheid wanders off to take a shower.
02:59 <Cepheid> Much better.
03:08 <Cepheid> Man, the power difference between high-end Master Rank gear and low-end Low Rank gear is insane.
03:08 <Cepheid> I needed a couple of Rathian Spikes, so I went to murder a low-rank Rathian using an armor set with maxed out Dragon Attack, Earplugs and used my strongest Dragon element weapon.
03:09 <Cepheid> Just one or two hits was enough to break a part on her.

04:06 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
04:43 <Ali> I find it also interesting how far you can get on a semi compact base for the early game stuff
04:44 <Ali> Other than the fact I'm playing on a rail world, the main production lines are super tight and no real problems as of yet. I'm sure that'll change once getting into the purple and yellow bottles

05:25 <Ali> I don't get it
05:28 <Schism> If you're happy and you know it, clamp your ham.
05:31 <Ali> If there were multiple clamped hams it would've made quicker sense
05:32 * Ali puts Schism onto a belt loop
05:34 <Cepheid> Really, my biggest complaint about the rail world preset is that the ore patches still increase in density and size at a distressing rate.
05:37 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
05:38 <Cepheid> Simplest solution there is to finagle the settings a bit. Next step up is to use RSO, and set the exponent for size, density, and fluid density to 0, forcing all patches to be roughly the same size and density regardless of distance. Alternatively, dial back the settings way back so that the scaling still happens, but not as rapidly.

07:23 <Cepheid> Woo. Effin' finally. Volcanic Region level 7.
07:33 <Cepheid> Basically, just means that I can now go fight tempered teostra, tempered lunastra, tempered kushala daora, and tempered ruiner nergigante in the guiding lands.
07:33 <ConfusionRift> Huzzaaaaah!
07:34 <Cepheid> Which is required. As, outside of Alatreon and Fatalis, I've killed one of every monster in the game, and I still have a metric ton of unidentified items.

07:41 <ConfusionRift> I'll be crazy to see the old giants, and maybe some of the stuff from Frontier and Online. As for crossovers, like the Behemoth and that thing from Witcher, I really can't think of any that would work in this game.
07:41 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I just conjured up a horrifying image of fighting Lavos or the Time Devourer.
07:42 * ConfusionRift laughs. "Gear Rex, from MG: Peacewalker."
07:43 <Cepheid> I'm surprised they haven't done a crossover with Dragon's Dogma yet.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Considering it's one of the fewer games that are very close to MH in terms of combat.
07:47 <Cepheid> It was also made by Capcom. :P
07:47 * Filly_Nightmares gnaw on ConfusionRift
07:48 <Cepheid> Man, these are the smallest green grapes I've ever seen.
07:53 * Dappled big horse eyes.
07:53 <Dappled> Kolaches.
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Heh, they decide to put Orochi or Ninetails. That would be- oh wait, I don't think that'll happen. Especially after the original company went under.
07:54 * Golden flops.
07:55 * Dappled wants a Dark Souls crossover cause imagine fighting Gaping Dragon in Monster Hunter and how terrifying that would be.
07:57 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/uCy7XlH.png I think there's something wrong with this Teostra.
07:57 <ConfusionRift> Considering the existence of Vaal Hazak, that mess would still fit right in.
07:57 <ConfusionRift> Might be of... ahem... ill temperament. :P
08:00 * Ali flops over the Dappled
08:00 * Dappled hugs the Ali. He has kolaches.
08:00 * Ali doesn't know what those are!
08:00 <Dappled> Sausage rolls.
08:03 * Ali snugs into Dappled as unicorn ponders if she should get the 7th badge or not
08:03 <Dappled> Why wouldn't you?
08:04 <Ali> Cause the game kinda feels flat
08:04 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Extremely ill temperament. Arch-tempered Teostra.
08:05 <Ali> I mean, I have my eons, but they're just underpowered
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Aah, big angy lion.
08:05 <Ali> Terrible IVs, meh on natures on most of them, and the biggest problem with Eeveelutions is some have god awful move pools
08:05 <Dappled> But look at how cute they are!
08:06 <Ali> Very cute, but they're sadly not viable T.T
08:07 <Ali> Jolteon and Umbreon suffer the most this generation
08:07 <Dappled> Strong Pokemon.
08:07 <Dappled> Weak Pokemon.
08:07 <Dappled> That is only the selfish perception fo people.
08:08 <Dappled> Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.
08:08 <Cepheid> That was actually pretty difficult. On par with a master rank Teostra.
08:08 * Ali baps Dappled for quoting something from the game.
08:09 <Dappled> You can't stop me.
08:09 <Dappled> Only I can stop me!
08:09 * Ali sits on Dappled while unicorn is at Bobs your Uncle
08:09 <Cepheid> Also I killed it by slamming it's face into a wall.
08:09 * Dappled only understood that Ali is sitting on him. Who's bob?
08:09 <Ali> Love how there's an option to talk about the AMAZING POSTER instead of the tapastry
08:10 <Dappled> Americans don't know what tapestries are.

08:24 <Dappled> He deserves it.
08:31 * Cepheid decides to just waste time waiting for spawns by gathering some coals.
08:32 <Dappled> Do you know the secret to gather coal, Cepheid?
08:32 * Dappled knows the secret.
08:32 <Cepheid> Nope.
08:32 <Dappled> Kay. I shall share.
08:33 <Dappled> Get the bar of the region for what you are gathering to the top level. Before it spawns to the big mining point, stop finishing off the mine gather spots.
08:33 <Dappled> This will keep it from resetting to the small gather spots and as long as you are moving between 2-3 areas the spawns will reset without you needing to take the last mine action.
08:33 <Dappled> The higher level dragoncoal will continue to spawn rather than the little ones.
08:34 <Cepheid> Ah, I understand/
08:34 <Cepheid> Instead of N taps, do N - 1 and move between areas.
08:34 <Dappled> Yes.
08:35 * Dappled is happy to share this knowledge cause grinding for armor spheres is such a pain.

08:53 *** Quits: Lapsus (Lapsus@i-forget.ca) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
08:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> So we had a small earthquake this morning. 2.5
08:54 <Cepheid> I get the strong impression that by suggesting such a thing might exist has caused someone, somewhere, to spontaneously develop the heebie-jeebies, go into the fetal position, and wonder what's wrong.
08:55 <Cepheid> Fun, aren't they, Starlight_Glimmer? At least, the small ones.
08:55 * Dappled grumbles. Didn't used to have earthquakes in oklahoma. Stupid fracking.
08:56 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah we felt the wave. Nothing broke.
08:56 * Cepheid takes the monster ideas a step further.
08:57 <Cepheid> Arch-tempered White Fatalis, covered in Arch-tempered Furious Rajang Pelts.
08:57 * Ali has never felt an earthquake
08:57 <Ali> I either slept thru them or the only other feelable one was when I was in a hi chair.
08:57 <Ali> So good luck remembering that one.
09:00 * Cepheid gets hit by the Rajang's FIRING MA LAZER BEAM! attack. Suffers 80% damage to health.
09:00 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, that hurt less than I expected.
09:01 <Cepheid> Especially given I was wearing a gathering set of armor, with no armor spheres used on it.
09:05 * ConfusionRift returns.
09:05 <Dappled> ConfusionRift, did you see the secret that I revealed about gathering dragon coal?
09:07 <ConfusionRift> Just read it. Hmm, interesting.
09:07 <ConfusionRift> OH! Forgot the steam machine is at full right now!
09:07 <Dappled> I figure that this is useful info for those playing and needing them armor spheres.
09:08 <ConfusionRift> Wait... so it works with armor sphere spots?
09:08 <Dappled> Well you get armor spheres from the steam machine.
09:08 <Dappled> And you need dragon coal to power the machine.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> Oooh. I meant the armor sphere mining areas. Then again, it probably works, considering they're all mining section, and what defers is the item gathered.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> Or it could possibly disappear.
09:10 * Dappled doesn't know about the armor sheres. Only the guiding lands stuff.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> See, I'm not even there.
09:10 <Cepheid> Rifty hasn't reached the Guiding Lands yet.
09:11 <Cepheid> Er, he already said that woops.
09:11 * Dappled did not know this. But useful info when you get there.
09:11 <Cepheid> Basically, the guiding lands provides access to various mining and bone spots.
09:11 <Cepheid> And the mining spots, when at a sufficient level, will provide Dragonvein Coal Chunks.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, I still appreciate the info. Now I know, just in case. :P
09:11 <Cepheid> Which are worth 500 fuel.
09:12 <Cepheid> What's your most recent assigned quest?
09:13 <Ali> So Dappled guess how well Piers did vs my Vaporeon
09:13 <Dappled> He ate it with his Obastagoon?
09:13 <Ali> Not when it could only do six damage to Vaporeon
09:13 <ConfusionRift> Nargakuga and Glavenius. Kuga is somewhere in a cage, hopefully rotting. And I'm trying to get the fire resistant armor for the other.
09:15 <Cepheid> Making progress then.
09:16 * Dappled has decided to once more attempt a LeafGreen Nuzlocke. Will document his team with Tabletop Simulator as a thing to do.
09:21 <ConfusionRift> Haven't really done that much progress. I tend to get anxious, and just end up going out and full around for research points or gatherable materials. Was also trying to clear out the old quests.
09:22 <Cepheid> Not a bad idea. Since clearing all the low/high rank quests gets you the rainbow pigment.
09:24 <Dappled> The best pigment.
09:25 <Cepheid> Looks really nice with the felyne Raging Brachy armor.
09:26 <ConfusionRift> Too bad some only show up after talking to someone, checking on the endemic researchers, or by clearing some other quests.
09:26 <ConfusionRift> Also... seem I'll have to fight for that large wyvern gem.
09:29 <Cepheid> This is true, Rifty, but if you do them all in order from lowest to highest rank, you'll unlock all of them sooner or later.
09:29 <Cepheid> Lower rank quests can't unlock higher rank ones. Usually. There's two exceptions, but they're expected.
09:31 <Cepheid> You weren't kidding about this approach, Dappled. Up to 24 already.
09:32 * Dappled is glad to help.
09:39 * Cepheid looks at right arm. "... I wonder how many different illnesses I've contracted over the years because of that..." She is looking at the spot where Spitfire continually punctures her skin from kneading.
09:42 <Cepheid> I can't wait for the day when an employer or potential employer sees it, and starts asking questions.
09:42 <Ali> Cat knead fever
09:42 <Ali> Cause? Crazy cat that likes to knead on hand
09:43 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> "Okay, let's do a quest, to get used to this massive bowgun." | Guessing something low or high rank? | "MR-1 Great Jagras. Should be cake." | Oh... hmm...
09:51 * Cepheid looks at the monster list in the guiding lands.
09:51 <Cepheid> A *WHAT* is on the field now!?
09:51 <Cepheid> Tempered Savage Deviljho.
09:51 * Dappled feeds it to the Greatest Jagras.
09:53 <Cepheid> Next thing you know, it'll tell me there's tempered seething bazelgeuse on the field.
09:58 <Cepheid> Hum... one more run should suffice.
09:59 * Cepheid leaves the camp to see the Savage Deviljho swinging an Odogoron around. "..."
09:59 * Cepheid goes the other way.
10:01 * Ali aggro's it and then pulls it towards Cepheid, then bubblehearths out~
10:01 <Cepheid> Whhhhyyyyy!?
10:01 <Ali> Cause that's what Jerks in WOW could do to you
10:01 <Cepheid> You know, I haven't even played WoW in ages, and I still knew what "bubblehearth" was.
10:02 <Ali> Never trust a Pallidin
10:03 <Cepheid> Myself, if I ever made an MMO and saw people pulling that kind of stunt...
10:03 <Cepheid> I'd find a way to punish those who do it.
10:03 <Ali> There's a reason escort quests are the most feared
10:04 * Dappled somehow ended up playing Skies of Arcadia again. How did this happen?
10:04 <Cepheid> Say, locking the monster to the player in such a way that attacks from it will only ever affect the player, and no one else can help kill the monster.
10:04 <Ali> Again the bubble hearth
10:04 <Cepheid> Then when the player dies, the monster teleports back home.
10:04 <Ali> There's the evade bug
10:04 <Ali> but most of the time it just switches targets
10:04 <Cepheid> Yeah, by locking it, that wouldn't happen.
10:05 <Cepheid> It'd be locked to the player, it can't be misdirected, it can't be attacked by anyone else.
10:05 <Cepheid> And all of it's attacks only affect the player that bubblehearthed.
10:05 <Ali> Sounds like a pain to program
10:05 <Dappled> Yeah. That.
10:05 <Cepheid> It will follow you to the ends of the earth until you die.
10:05 <Cepheid> Yeah, but if it were me programming it?
10:05 <Cepheid> Totally worth the time and effort.
10:05 <Ali> Then it would be vanilla all over again
10:06 <Ali> You heard of people dragging Kazzak to Stormwind right?
10:06 <Cepheid> You assume I didn't account for that.
10:06 <Cepheid> The monster, after killing the player, would just leave peacefully, or teleport home.
10:07 <Cepheid> The only thing I can't account for is the player running non-stop and preventing players from attacking a unique target through that response.
10:07 <Cepheid> Except to make it so they can't escape.
10:07 <Dappled> See, I'd do something else. Each time the player was reported for aggro griefing, I'd put them on a timer that keeps them from attaking or being attacked by monsters.
10:08 <Dappled> You lure it into a crowd of people? Looks like you can't do anything with a monster for the next month.
10:08 <Cepheid> Too easy to abuse by other players. It'd require regular investigations.
10:08 * Schism still chuckles at the story of the Corrupted Blood.
10:09 <Cepheid> A safer approach might be to have a bubblehearth warp the player and the relevant monster to an instanced arena.
10:09 <Cepheid> Where the player either has to kill the monster to leave, or die.
10:10 <Cepheid> That said, that also has abuse factor on it.
10:10 <Dappled> Place player in instance. Require them to submit an essay apology to leave.
10:10 <Cepheid> Find a unique monster, bubblehearth, then kill the monster by yourself, preventing anyone else from attacking or helping.
10:11 <Cepheid> This is where my analysis comes in handy. I can think of a solution, and then, given a bit of time, think about how that solution may be abused.
10:12 <Cepheid> Essay writing seems like a nice idea. Until you realize that people have to read the essays, and that means employing people exclusively to read the essays.
10:12 <Cepheid> And of course, knowing that the players would have to do an essay, *AND* that someone would have to read it..
10:12 <Cepheid> I guarantee some would use it to force the people to read some vulgar stuff.
10:12 <Dappled> And those people would have their IP banned forever more.
10:12 <Cepheid> Hum, let's see how much fuel I got from that 2-hour run.

10:26 <Schism> Cepheid: Monster Hunter already has a spiky boi. Just paint it red and you have Lavos.
10:26 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:27 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-98m470.irccloud.com)
10:30 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/QR1BGyS.png Result of 31,800 fuel.
10:30 * Dappled sees 100 uses of safe guard in there.
10:31 <Golden> Whoa
10:31 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:31 * Golden sees 100 uses of defense up large.
10:32 <Dappled> But Safeguard is best meal.
10:32 * Dappled always brings safe guard.
10:32 * Ali erases all buffs~
10:32 <Cepheid> Yeah, but it doesn't stack, so if you work with others, at least one should take safeguard, and the rest whatever they want.
10:33 <Dappled> It stacks with insurance~
10:33 <Golden> Dappled. I am an Sns main with the Tigrex armor set for free meal, and wide range. I kinda need the defense up
10:33 * Dappled waves as also an SnS main. Get you some Kulve Y
10:33 * Cepheid is Switch Axe.
10:34 <Golden> I'd rather not be yelled at on my ps4 when I play for not running it.
10:34 <Dappled> Golden, Kulve Y.
10:34 <Dappled> Free Meal Secret.
10:35 <Dappled> It's a better version of Tigrex.
10:35 <Cepheid> ^
10:35 * Ali head explodes as she doesn't understand any of this Mon Hun talk
10:36 <Cepheid> Free Meal Secret - Increases the maximum level of the Free Meal skill. Free Meal - When you use certain restorative items, you have a 25%, 50% or 75% chance based on the level of the skill, to not use up the item.
10:36 * Dappled swears that chance changes based on the monster you are fighting.
10:36 <Schism> And combine that with the bonus that increases the range of healing items...
10:36 <Cepheid> Combined with Wide-Range, a skill that applies the effects of certain consumables, it makes for a healer setup.
10:36 * Schism puts on the Wiggler Hat.
10:36 * Dappled doesn't think it activated nearly as often as it should for Fatalis and Alatreon.
10:37 <Dappled> Wiggler Hat is Peak Fashion Goals.
10:37 <Cepheid> Hard to say, Dappled. I've seen cases where I use up 9 mega potions in one quest, and only 1 or 2 in another instance of the same quest.
10:37 <Cepheid> RNG is a fickle little [REDACTED].
10:37 <Dappled> This is truth.
10:38 * Schism catches 1,000 great sushifish.
10:38 <Golden> Odd the source for kulve y I am looking at says nothing about secret skills.
10:39 * Dappled thinks your looking at High Rank.
10:40 <Dappled> Sorry, not Y
10:40 <Dappled> Alpha +
10:40 <Dappled> Or Beta +\
10:40 <Dappled> It's been a bit.
10:42 <Schism> "A Bazelgeuse! Maybe if you say its name three times, we can sneak and get the goods!"
10:42 <Golden> Yeah it's alpha +
10:43 * Dappled puts on Say My Name from the Beetlejuice Musical.
10:43 <Golden> Anyway Imma sleep. I'm not feeling to well
10:43 <Dappled> !link https://youtu.be/PhqYKZ0q1Ac
10:43 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
10:43 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about "Invisible(Reprise)/On the Roof" & "Say My Name" - Beetlejuice the Musical Animatic
10:43 * Cepheid renames the Bazelgeuse to Bagelgoose.
10:45 * Cepheid sells all the golden eggs and other stuff she has for 1,400,000 zeny. o3o
10:46 <Golden> Nice
10:46 <ConfusionRift> Game... why did you give this bowgun an ammo belt when it's mostly a single shot?
10:47 <Cepheid> Ask the devs.
10:47 <Dappled> Have you seen how many types of ammo you have and how you can fire all of them without having to reload?\
10:47 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-a6ggs4.tpgi.com.au)
10:49 <ConfusionRift> It's a light bowgun, so it doesn't have that much of a variety. It has a heavy recoil, high deviation, mostly single shot, and VERY slow reload.
10:49 <ConfusionRift> Well, not as much with mods, but still.
10:54 * Ali takes all the gear, cause everything is hunter gear
10:58 <Cepheid> Don't put too much thought into it Rifty.
10:59 <Cepheid> Especially the guns, as they're the least weird thing in the entire series.
10:59 * ConfusionRift thinks about it even more. :P
11:00 <Ali> Cepheid, what about a kitty that sits at the foot of your chair but refuses to come up, but meows relentlessly?
11:00 <ConfusionRift> And yes, I have seen more odd things with weapons in the game. Like the old Rath longsword upgrade merge.
11:00 <Cepheid> Ali, I may be crazy about cats, but I'm not a cat whisperer. If I had to guess? Follow the cat?
11:00 <Cepheid> It might be trying to get you to follow it somewhere.
11:01 * Dappled likes the look of the Guild Palace gear. It is pleasing to me.
11:01 * Cepheid introduces ConfusionRift to the Switch Axe and the Charge Blade. Two weapons that make little sense. Also, the occasional Great Sword with what appear to be thrusters on them.
11:02 <Dappled> But Ignition makes the most sense of all the weapons.
11:02 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/05ryhv9.png And let me remind everyone that this exists.
11:02 <Dappled> That is a good thing.
11:03 <Dappled> Besides what makes less sense than using whetfish to beat up monsters?
11:03 <Cepheid> Or using a whetstone to sharpen a hammer the size of a small safe?
11:04 * Dappled uses a whetstone on a hunting horn. Got to keep those notes sharp.
11:04 <Dappled> Ba dum tsh.
11:04 <Cepheid> ...
11:04 <Cepheid> That's two puns in a row, no less.
11:04 <Cepheid> But the only viable use I could see for a whetstone on a blunt weapon is to make the corners sharper.
11:04 <Cepheid> Since striking something with those corners, with that much mass behind it, is going to HURT.
11:05 <Dappled> Okay, but using a whetstone on the Well-Done Hammer.
11:05 * Dappled loves the Well-Done Hammer.
11:06 <Cepheid> Do they have a cheese weapon? I'm pretty sure we can make cheese sharper.
11:06 * Dappled is unaware of cheese.
11:06 <Dappled> Although the lack of the pizza cutter in World is a great disappointment to me.
11:07 * Schism imagines the Felynes making pizza.
11:07 <Cepheid> Guh. Finally. My body is calming down. I think I know what was happening.
11:07 <Cepheid> Been getting woken up far too early by the parental units. I always take my meds after waking up and deciding to stay awake.
11:08 <Cepheid> What happens if say, at midnight, I wake up, take my meds, then go to sleep at say, 8 AM, and then get woken up at 2 PM and I decide to stay up?
11:10 * Dappled catches lichenthropy.
11:10 * Dappled moss.
11:12 <Cepheid> More along the lines of "I take my meds again." I end up taking them two or more times in a 24 hour period.
11:13 * Dappled is horrible about keeping to a schedule. Has no advice.
11:15 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, it's a side effect of my sleeping schedule and my parents not thinking.
11:15 <Cepheid> I mean, the other day, I'm asleep, my mother knows I'm asleep, and what does she do?
11:15 <Cepheid> She barges into my room and shakes a cat treat bag.
11:17 <Cepheid> She was looking for my cat, thinking he might have been locked in my room, but she didn't stop to think about a better approach to check.
11:17 * ConfusionRift thinks about doing something really stupid. "I'm still out of practice... but maybe I can still beat Uragaan with a bowgun."
11:17 <Finwe> o3o
11:18 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony!
11:18 <Dappled> G'morning.
11:18 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

11:19 * Dappled chews on "Messrs" must understand what it is.
11:20 <Finwe> Mesdemoiselles and Messieurs.
11:20 * Dappled nods.
11:21 <Finwe> Messrs is the plural of Mr.
11:21 <Finwe> And Mlles is the plural of Miss.
11:21 * Dappled learns!
11:25 <Finwe> o3o!
11:32 <Cepheid> No, I can fight a Frostfang Barioth instead of a regular Barioth, what could possibly go wro- *Gets frozen solid*
11:32 <Dappled> You know, I love the flavor that Pathfinder does in it's depections of clerics.
11:33 <Dappled> "Blessed Dawnflower, let the fire of your righteousness flow through me and into this mighty ally, that his lord in iron might imbue with renewed vigor and fighting spirit."
11:33 * Lumindia chews on Dappled
11:34 <Dappled> "Mericiless Gorum, this human fool is a coward and a weakling, but our numbers are few and our enemies many. We can't afford to be choosy."

11:51 <Schism> "Malware in the air-gapped computer uses the DDR memory to generate signals in the 2.4GHz wi-fi frequency band."
11:52 <Schism> How lovely.

11:52 <Schism> It's only about 100 b/s, but when we're talking about sensitive data, that can be enough.

12:12 <Cepheid> I like when you kill a monster just from hitting it with the VERY tip of your weapon.
12:12 * ConfusionRift returns from the hunt. Falls on the ground, grabs his knees and starts crying. "I... did it...
12:13 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:13 <ConfusionRift> Not doing that again.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> That was with heavy bowgun. It ate soooo much ammo.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> Having Velkhana and Furgur Anjanath in the middle of it all did not help.
12:16 <Schism> At least ammo's cheap?
12:16 * Schism catches a bunch of bombfish.
12:17 <ConfusionRift> I can just go get plants for powder.
12:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:18 <Cepheid> You can actually use the tree after a certain point.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> I don't think you can grow Flamenuts and Blazenuts.
12:20 <Schism> Not that it's terribly difficult to just set up autocreation of ammo and run about the volcano for a little while.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> I take it back. You can.
12:20 <Cepheid> I see it on the list on my end.
12:21 <ConfusionRift> They're at the very end of the list.
12:21 <Cepheid> I think you can also just buy Gunpowder 2 and 3.
12:22 * Cepheid deploys the Tailraiders on a route that includes a seething bazelgeuse.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> Doood! 8 for Level 2s, and 15 for Level 3s? Never mind, that's your easy route right there.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> The other option is through fishing. Using scales and fire herbs.
12:23 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor
12:24 <RazorSharpFang> Heys Cyan_Spark
12:24 <RazorSharpFang> I got assigned 100 shares of XOM and 100 shares of T as expected.
12:25 <Cyan_Spark> Ouch
12:25 <RazorSharpFang> Not a huge deal. Only technically a loss. I'm going to sell calls against them for income, and perhaps they'll get called away from me.
12:25 * Cepheid needs to murder one more Barioth. Huzzah.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> Aah yes. The ice Tigrex. :P
12:27 <Cepheid> Switch Axe is just not... tuned for fighting these types of wyverns.
12:28 <ConfusionRift> I used to gun them. But I'm not so sure I can go for it again.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh... Barioth drops Large Wyvern Gems as well... how interesting... still.
