Subject: Re: Money money money, hehe


Hi again,

Where is the spell Dimensional Pocket?? I could not find it in Felwithe..i
heard it might be in the Gnome
city Ak'Anon...anyone knows??

Brewing maxes out in 2hrs? Guess i'll try very soon then...is brewing alone
enough? Or am
i gonna have to do another trade skill later like Smithing?
I only have 4pp as of this msg hehe gonna have to get more first..rules out
chessboard i guess...
down there only bones! Argh....

I heard about the FBR...but is it really worth paying like 200pp (what i
heard) for it?
What does it really offer besides coolness factor? How much dmg does RTS do
and
what's the delay? It's 2HB right? Alot of questions...hehe...sorry!

Ahhh...i won't spend whole day brewing lah Ziltus...maybe just 4-6 hrs a
day? Hahahahahaha

Zanderion (where's my lvl 11? Magi)
