I think in light of the recent mass shootings, I'd want to get a good project off the ground. Obviously, anything involving guns casually (Advance Wars or Lost Frontier) is out, but why not involve something involving welcome messages. Obviously, Ultima 4 is dated with Guide Dang It handling and other questionable handling of its own virtue system, but the ideas are certainly there at least, and I'd rather make it clear that #VideogamesAreNotToBlame no matter how messed up video game communities in general are. Besides, I'm for going with something tame enough at the moment after my venture with Startropics, even if 2x Speed would be recommended for usage with this series, because the combat system IS rather dated.

Just a trip to and from Vesper to get a couple of Crossbows that would make combat a less annoying process; and also to get a certain item that Double D from Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy learned the hard way why he wouldn't want to mention its name in front of somebody like Eddy. At least that item allows for viewing coordinates, so we can finally see what those latitude/longitude numbers were about.

Along the way, I manage to handle the 2 Shrines in the area (Sacrifice and Spirituality), also remembering to wear down the meditation cooldown timer. After returning from that, Zircon has the +2 Axe ready.....except this thing is exclusive equipment to the Fighter. Dangit.

Spell ingredient learning of note ATM:
-Tremor: Ash, Manroot, Moss, other ingredient(s) unknown (Beggar at Skara Brae, Soldier at Jhelom, and Teresa at Paws)
-Gate: Ash, Pearl, Manroot (Mentallion at Cove)

Coordinates of note thus far:
-69,105 - unknown so far, could just be a joke by all indications
-149,46 - unknown so far, but search should be done during double New Moons
-54,182 - search during double New Moons for Manroot (confirmed as that totally not suspicious poison swamp)
