Harvest Day

Harvest day today. My army of 12 mules, in addition to Magi, delivered to me a grand total of 450 platinum nuggets, for 37.5 stacks. At the going rate of 28k a stack, that should net me just over 1M gross, not too shabby for a 330k investment in the tree cuttings and an additional ~70k in crystals. Still a somewhat disappointing harvest. However, I'm pretty sure I broke my individual mule harvest record, with one of my Windurst mules gathering a disgusting 75 nuggets, just over 6 stacks.

I usually hope to cover my crystal expenses and AH fees by selling off the dark crystal byproducts, and I should more than clear that this time around, although I really have no idea how many crystals I harvested this go-around. I'd been getting lazy in selling them off in previous harvests, and they were really getting to where they were crowding my inventories. Luckily they sell like hotcakes.

Hopefully the load sells quickly as once I replant, I'm going to be close to broke.

In other good news, I recently found a Mary's Horn on one of my mules that I thought I had sold off. I recently bought a new horn as an adjunct to my Nursemaid's harp, as for merit parties on birds in particular, Mary's Horn is more accurate and thus more useful. I thought I stashed my old one but apparently I placed it on one of my mules. It sells for about 180k, so that's quite meaningful.

With the profits from this harvest I hope I can complete my collection of HQ elemental staves. After that, to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm going to put it into. Maybe goldsmithing; the Gold Hell levels aren't quite as daunting as they once might have seemed, with gold ingots only running about 20k a pop (was a time they ran 100k). Apart from my HQ staves, there isn't a whole hell of a lot of non-rare-ex gear I feel I need.
