i have now put in about 200 plat and still no skill point.
i have made alot of laterns and recently tried stalking probes.
out of 6 tries i only fashioned 2. the guy that gave me money was happy
about it and wants me to make more for him. the bad thing is im wasting his
money since my skill has not increased at all.
do we know the recipe for the syglass now? i thought we needed the
collapsible fishing pole for it?
