Chaitee 's work on the Auction House takes no more than five minutes or less these days. There just isn't much activity. Sista did make a large haul of frostweave that produced 14 frostweave bags, but she has little to else to sell. Embersilk is all but forgotten, and the hexweave still takes days to craft. There is also rampant dumping, forcing prices below the profit margin.Sista finally had to make a decision. She could continue to try and scrape up old content materials to make old content bags, or she could see how she might be able to farm the new mats that are making all the gold.
Sista wished Keya could do some of that farming, but she is not a Tailor. Well, Sista groaned, it seems she'll have to go out and farm mats herself. She pictured herself riding around the countryside, collecting mats while earning Artifact Power toward getting to level 120.
So, what mats should she focus on getting? That was an easy question to answer - she needs to collect Deep Sea Satin and Tidespray Linen. Then came the kicker. Both of those mats can only be gained by killing enemy humanoids, not creatures, not flowers, not rocks, no. Humanoids only.
Sista is still Level 110, and is only 29% of the way to level 111. Her gear score is a so-so i189. She'll be killing things in bear form. Her experience in Tailoring is 61/150. Fortunately, she gets to keep her Cloth Scavenging, which includes humanoid kills.
Both Keya and Java immediately complained at the lost questing time, but Tiphaine stood firm, giving Sista time to work on much needed materials collecting.
Later in the Day - Sista got off to a rough start, but after a grind of killing and questing she could say with confidence that she was making progress. Sista collected 35 tidespray linen (she only needs 15) and 5 Deep Sea Satin (she needs 30). Sista wished the number was the reverse - she needs 30 Deep Sea Satin and 15 tidespray linen to make a deep sea satin bag. Farming these mats will remain part of Sista's leveling since the best farming areas are in the islands, and Sista doesn't have access to them yet.
Sista is getting used to killing in bear form, and she's starting to like it again. It's been awhile since she'd been out and about. Her gear score is up to 191, which included a small upgrade. She is on the verge of hitting the next level, but she stopped the killing before she realized she was that close. She has to go find something to kill, like NOW!
Update - Sista is Level 111! Sista already had a plan for this day. She went to the Trade District, opened a ticket on the Auction House, and bought a new weapon. The new two-hand staff jumped her gear score from 191 to 197! Sista didn't bat an eye when paying the 2,200 gold it cost. AND, Keya volunteered to craft a set of i225 gear to go with the staff. Keya sent 7 pieces of gear, which torpedoed her gear score from 197 to 217. Sista is ready to rock-n-roll!
