Ack!! My Heart!
So, as you can see from my signature, I'm trying to raise gold for my cool (but secret) cosplay idea. (I don't want any copycats; hence the lack of information about it.) In order to make sure it'll be awesome as heck, I started tinkering around in tektek, experimenting with the different items and such: at first I naively thought I'd need about 53k; then 58k. Then 68.

Until, that is, I took a closer look at some of my reference images and realized that there was one little item I was missing. (Figures.) So I add it to my dream avi, hit the "Save" button, and sit back to see how many thousands of gold I would need now. I almost had a heart attack. "What??? 800,000 gold for that thing?!! DAHHHH!!"

After I finally recovered ("800,000..." Twitch. Twitch) I thought to myself, "Well, it's not THAT bad. You could be trying for an Angelic Scarf or something like that after all." And I might not end up using it; it would just add that little extra something that says, "Yes, I did my research for this here costume play. So stand back and be amazed, puny mortals!"


Anyhow, cheers! Hopefully I will achieve my cosplay goal sometime before I croak. (Or before I get tired of Gaia. Whichever comes first.) And I might change it around again and discover yet more things I need to add, so we'll see.

Hmmm. There might be a way to "cheat" and use a cheaper alternative to the 800,000 gold item of itemness, but it all depends on layering issues and different pose options and such. It would be nice if they'd let you use the different avi poses in tektek, but, oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what works.

Yes!! I think my cheap alternative will work! Huzzah! Of course I'm not 100% sure, but still... knocking 800k off the price for me awesome cosplay is definitely a booster for my morale. xd

Well, I have all the main components for my cosplay-- the question is now, do I go for the extra stuff? Hmmm. I also want to time this cosplay to not be unleashed until summer for certain reasons I won't disclose here. Think I can raise 800k by then?

EDIT: I forgot to mention this, but after various tests it's pretty clear that my cheap alternative to 800,000 smackers won't work. (Phooey. Stupid layering system.) So yeah; anyone wanna lend me 800k?

O_O;;

Holy cow. So much for item of 800k-ness. The price has now jumped up to 1.5 Mil. [Faints] I think I'll just have to settle for scraping that whole idea. (Although it would be cool.)

Phooey. Stupid Market Place. Grrr, I say! >.<
