Merit update

One more quick note to throw in: in July, I posted a tally of a total of 179 spent merit points, which is pretty respectable. Since then I have added the following notches in my belt:

Enmity Down: from 3/4 to 4/4 (4 merits)
Enfeebling Magic: from 6/8 to 8/8 (8 merits)
Minuet Effect: from 0/5 to 4/5 (10 merits)

For those paying attention, this means that A) apart from useless combat skill merits, my SCH is fully, 100% merited (until Sept at least), with 8/8 MP, 5/5 INT, 4/4 Enmity Down, 8/8 Elemental Magic, and 8/8 Enfeebling Magic, and B) having spent 22 more merits on top of the 179 I'd previously spent, I've now surpassed the 200 merit mark and am sitting comfortably on 201.

For those keeping track, that means that I have earned over 2 MILLION MERIT POINTS!

(holy shit is that a lot of dead birds)

I should note that these numbers are nothing extraordinary for a good endgame player, as most will have their generic shit maxed out and have even more merits sunk into category 2 stuff. Still, that's a lot of fucking dead birds.

By the Sept update I should be situated nicely in Wisconsin and playing regularly, meaning that after I blow my initial 10 on whatever's useful, the following 20 that I'll want to spend right away should come relatively quickly (assuming the optimal SCH merit path will be to cap out two categories at 5/5, as is usually the case).

Here's hoping the SCH merits won't be totally lame.
