Mahakeya is Back

Mahakeya is Back

Demon Hunter Keya is now the official fisherwoman of the family, a chore she didn't think she would like. She figured to make the best of it, though. At least she would be working. She made her way through Dalaran to edge of the floating city. Just beyond the city is a small floating island called Margoss's Retreat, the abode of Conjurer Margoss and his apprentice, Blythe. Margoss is a fisherman, and he can handle the normal requirements of the fishing profession. He is more than just that, however. Here on this island one can fish for drowned mana, a powerful aid to getting the holy grail of fishing in Legion, the Underlight Angler fishing pole.

Keya is not going to try to describe the monumental process of earning the Underlight Angler. Thousands of fish will be caught over many days and maybe weeks. Every zone in Legion will be fished and numerous, extremely rare fish must be caught using rare types of bait. It is a task set for the most patient of adventurers.

If fishing was all that was entailed, Keya would have to admit that her patience had limits. So Keya expanded her duties. Whenever the mood struck her or when she came across a juicy world quest, she set aside her fishing pole to go after those goals. Her fishing pole was always available and the rivers, ponds, and oceans abundant and ready to hand whenever the fishing bug drove her.

She began as a novice fisher, and now has made it to level 550 on her journey to the max 800. On the way, Keya has killed elite monsters, gained artifact power for her weapons, and improved her gear from i793 to her latest piece of gear pushing her to i805. The Legion World can keep her from completing many professions, but they can't stop her fishing and they can't stop her from attacking any and all world quests within her reach. She remains shut out of many quests that require dungeon/raid runs, yet continues to find ways to complete quests and winnow down the number of quests still yammering for resolution. And she's having fun.

For recording purposes, Keya has fished up four pieces of the fishing pole challenge: Rusty Queenfish Broach, Leyshimmy Blenny, Graybelly Lobster, and Thorned Flounder.

Late entry - Chaitee couldn't help crowing about a huge windfall that dropped into her lap this morning. Hypnotic dust has been trading at around 25-30 gold each. It takes 15 of those to craft an embersilk bag and farming them is slow and difficult. For the past two days the AH was empty of them. Bless those folks who don't pay attention to such things. Someone dropped 200 hypnotic dust on the AH just before I was about to sign off. Buying them at 30g each would cost 6,000 gold. It wasn't posted at 30g. It was posted at 3g. The poster might not have known the value . . . OR, it could have been a typo. Chaitee made a very swift purchase for all 200 at 600 gold instead of the 6,000 gold value. I can't imagine the poster didn't know the value given the hours of immense effort it took to farm that many. Ironically, the poster's name is "Diehappy." Chaitee is the only happy one in that exchange.

A great start to a new week.
