That was an active flare from tackling, my friend. Both active and reactive plasma flares.

Oh..excellent eye, never noticed that afore. Thanks

Cryheart & I have already traded emails over this, and of course I remain cash-poor and he doesn't need Enchanting work done.

But if anyone out there who has cash is willing to front me silvers in return for future Major Enchants--I'm in the middle of a 7x right now, thus the 'future' part of that--then I'd be able to buy Cryheart's armor so he has some sillers to spend.

Lemme know (here or via Play.Net email) if you're innerested.

I could do that (assuming that we are talking about no more than Cryheart was asking) in return for a sufficient number of years of indentured servitude.

Provided you aren't taking unnecessary time off from the enchanting, its the two years of that counts, not the fifteen minutes. Is there a feasible time to meet outside the Mist Harbor Bank? My normal prime playing hours are 9-12 a.m. EST, though I am on an early schedule at the moment and can stretch to an earlier time a lot easier than a later one (I'll say 0200-1400 EST feasible for me tomorrow, if I see a time from you when I check come my breakfast time)
