My INT usually hangs around 200-215 as I am a wizard.
I don't know about those of you with lesser INT but
pre-aqualung was pretty easy but now it is getting
much harder to raise a point. This is probably just
due to the fact that I make less because of the absurd
amount of money each try costs. Is the going rate on
Aqualungs still 500pp btw? I'm having a hard time
selling these. Silly people always wait till we can
make redbreathers but I don't think they realize we
need plat from our sales to get that high hehe
