Since I am a collector, I have a huge inventory that I can sell for gold. So, money is no object. Fournival had been my love interest but now I'm before the Wyrm hunts in NG+. Still, it's fairly easy to pop over to Gran Soren and pick up the Maker's Finger.

I am not sensitive to whatever negative connotations using the MF has. To me, it's completely legitimate. My main issue is I don't want to take out a heart like the center chest heart that I enjoy atacking directly. Since I can't climb to the wing tips, they are fair game. I will try for the tail but I like the roller coaster ride.

"MF Running," a term I firs heard a few days ago, is a tide that raises all ships. The faster Ur-D is brought to Grace, the more opportunity everyone has. That's good to know about not having to rest although I still want credit for repelling Ur-D somehting I'm sure is of absolutely no interest to you.

Soon, I will try out MK. I'm almost at the point where I understand Ur-D's patterns well enough to employ a substantially different approach. I like the dagger wielders because I can employ a pawn centric approach where Arisen simply has the chore of keeping Ur-D fairly docile for the pawns to do their thing.

The good thing is the game is still a lot of fun. I was afraid that once I'd gotten all the achievements I might lose interest--one reason I was procrastinating. However, there's still lots to do and Fournival's expanded inventory is a huge advantage as I can now use Group boosters rather than Periapts.

Nei can get to 100% stagger and knockdown immunity without the Hood of Oblivion because, unlike the male Aurelien, she can wear the Delta Guard. I did run her for a short while with the Oblivion headpiece but I have never liked it. Since pawns like to go after the front paws, I'm finally seeing the value of Level 3 Armor. I go offline before I rest, though, because it's a weird setup that only Ur-D Hunters would find useful.
