A quick followup to yesterday’s post.
Respeccing to carpenter went without a hitch. You become a level 9 artisan, ready to pick your first specialisation of scholar, outfitter, or craftsman. Some relatively painless levelling later, and Maltheas became a level 20 carpenter.
The Shady Swashbuckler did indeed change which “Shadows of the Betrayed†reward he offered, and the legendary Sculpting Hammer of Twiddy Bobbick now rests in Maltheas’ backpack. As Fiddy Bobbick was also a keen tinkerer and famed explorer, he has always been a source of inspiration to Maltheas, so it seems appropriate that our Ratonga friend now wields his favourite tool. Maltheas can’t actually use it yet, of course.
I's gots a hammer! Now I's needings the bell!
It occurred to me that if I was feeling particularly keen, I could have respecced and quickly levelled for each of the professions, getting myself a complete set. Obviously not too useful for wielding, but they do also convert into very nice looking furniture items, and are steeped in Everquest lore. I’m going to resist the temptation, mostly because I’m a bit crafted out right now.
Anyhows, thats all done. Now begins the slow slog back up to 90. I think I’ll wait until I have some crafting vitality for that!
