Crafting Achievement



Impatient Melde has made it to 10,000 in Alchemy!  Now she can make Shatigon's Sandglass: Spoonful for all of those guildies who get their boats wrecked by reds or the kraken, who seems to be showing its face a little more these days...

Before you think this is some major accomplishment in Archeage... it is, but I have only made it to "Novice."  This major-work crafting system makes Impatient Melde crazy.

IRL, Impatient Melde has taken up crochet.  So far, I have crafted a "D20 Mat" - a 2 inch square of single crochet stitches.  It will hold a single D20 on a soft bed of yarn.  Perhaps the frustration (er, love) that has been crocheted into it will cause it to roll 20's more often.  

I marvel at the apparent ease at which I can dismember and reassemble mechanical and electrical devices, but seem to be confounded at every turn by a stick and piece of string.

Perhaps with practice (Naturally, Impatient Melde hates practice... this is why she plays Guitar Hero while a real guitar hides in the closet) I shall soon crochet Delphinad Shirts for my own kitties.  Izzy has already requested a dice bag.  This was his motive for buying Impatient Melde a crochet kit in the first place.
