At Last !!! A new BP and 13k Mana

Well it cost me almost all my dkp but it was worth it I can tell you. Having been on the lookout for months now for a new BP and having been beaten numerous times by being out bid I at last got myself a nice shiny new Breastplate.

This also takes me over the 13k mana unbuffed :)

I need to get a decemt Aug to put in it though as the current one is a joke at just 35/35/35. I guess I need to do a few CoA runs with Mily and Charoke to see if we can farm one for me as I still miss a couple.

When the BP dropped I was convinced that it was going to be mine considering Ashai got it so cheap the last time it dropped. However I had stiff competition from Grilon and Cold but some determined bidding from me left nobody in any doubt as to how serious I was about having it.

Seems rather apt that I get this BP because as of tommorrow my playtime is about to take a serious nosedive and may well never recover. My contract here in Dublin comes to an end at the weekend and I am heading back to the UK for a couple of days before going back out to Stockholm. Once I am reunited with my wife she has told me already to "find a new hobby" as she doesn't approve of me being in a hardcore raiding guild due to the time sink it is. I can't say I blame her but also I wll miss the game terribly.

What is most likely to happen is that I am going to have to leave Tide and play casually in what time I get doing tradeskills on Biffar and with Ebolla apply to a more casual guild such as AD and join Splosh and his brother Xebshale. Lets see how things turn out. With the BETA of the next expansion starting soon it could be fun to do a lot with that and maybe earn some nice reward item. Considering the last BETA gave out a very fun illusion this might not be a bad idea.
