Just the few things I noticed I never added was the odd discussions we had during the whole process.
We had constant poles on what items or tools we should first make when we would reach our goal. We were swaying forth and back between an anvil hammer, grinder or a cauldron. I was always in favor of trying to make a forge and try spiral a piece of WI and make the first metal saw, Ramones was more interested in making the armor for the insane AC. Rom usually didn't say much but I think he was looking forward to the B12. Ghost wanted his Q1000 Rbow and Schime was loving the idea of Q600 cheese.
We constantly were also trying to figure out how we could upp the crafters stats to the insane levels to not softcap everything we produced. But in the end we agreed that we should invest increasing the numen count and ignore the softcapping made by our crafters as it was just easier to make numen count go up to 30k or 50k instead of trying to put 2000 smithing and strength on one of our crafters and ruin there stats.
Another odd funny and strange thing we had discovered was how the bulk stock of Q0 boards was sitting right there next to idol and that CoolDev had his setup right next to it. We often wondered why he never figured this trick out as it must have been to easy to just grab a board out of a sign and use it when he was out of boards similar to what happened to me. Sometimes we thought he had figured it out but he never had told us. We joked around that he had left Emerald City and joined up with his old friends to do his own numen zero. He was also 100k numen ahead of us and that any day he would attack the server with 50 000Q items.
The curios that could have been made was also a hot topic. We calculated constantly what the Q of curios would come out as. Q7000 steeds, sear boles and wands. Q10 000 tin soldiers, Q1000+ abacus and a few other harder to get ones like perfect hole from better Q cheese, chrysalis and ribbens from Q200 mulberry trees. It would have been possible to make a bulk easy stockpile of curios to put on any toon giving over 150 000 LPH making it possible reaching 2 000 UA in just a few weeks. The ease of producing the Q10k nuggets with the setup we had we could probably outputted over 100 nuggets a day without any problems. Even then a single nugget mixed into a Q10 bar would upp its value from 10Q to 1000Q making it easy to bulk produce Q1000 bars.
Probably the most funny thing was how Ramones constantly was joking about telling people about what we were up to. I had asked him what he says when they ask him what he is up to. He had repeated that he had constantly told people he is working on making Q10 000 items and people had just ignored his sarcastic remark.
