What I learned from Field Crafter

Seriously, something else that bears mentioning is that getting Field Crafter has the side benefit of having you memorize most of the common IO recipes along the wayso when you have it, you're in a great position to start up as a value-added reseller of whatever is currently hot in the marketplace.

What the heck is "snood," anyway?
(Seems like this board is developing some of its own conventions and terms, what with "snood" this, and "drinking tears" that. Would be nice if someone would write up a FAQ for the, dare I say it, casual forum reader

snood is a term for a hairnet which sounds kind of funny. Squez made a character that included the word. It went off the tracks from there, but not due to Squez.

Less well known is this.
Turkey
A turkey is either of two extant species of large birds in the genus Meleagris native to North America. Turkeys are classed in the order Galliformes. Within this family they are placed on one branch with Tetraonidae. Turkeys have a distinctive fleshy wattle that hangs from the underside of the beak, and a fleshy protuberance that hangs from the top of its beak called a snood .
-Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein.
-I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei
-When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. - Thomas Jefferson
The Snood thing started because somebody talked about being addicted to the puzzle game - one version can be found here: Snood online game
It's also a hairnet, or headband - by definition snoods
The delicious tears thing is something that somebody revived into an internet "meme" of sorts a couple years ago - at least.
Google it and you find it on WoW forums & that sorta thing.
I found used in the name of a recipe from a blog-ish online cookbook article dated Jan. 7th 2006. Onion Soup without Tears Recipe [ QUOTE ]
"It's a twist on classic onion soup adapted for cry-babies..."
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm not certain when it became a "cool" hip thing to call "crybabies"...
Although from what I can tell it was originally taken from an early 18th century poet/novelist - Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Seems to be from this line "Delicious tears! The hearts own dew." in
THE GUERILLA CHIEF. It's also listed here as well.
But I'm not certain, trying to look up internet memes tends to lead you to sites that mock you for trying to look up the meaning of a meme.
The sites are chock full of leet-speek & stupidity in roughly equal parts.
It's works on the premise of "your only cool if you know what it means - without someone else telling you (or you looking it up) & by the time you figure it out, we'll come up with a new one to make fun of all the non-cool kidz".
Sites like encyclopedia dramatica - with bogus articles and links you DO NOT want to click on.
One amusing thing I found while looking around at some of the crap trying to figure out when the "delicious tears" meme originated, was a little bit about - "once the meaning of a meme is known it's no longer a meme".
But my best guess-timate is that it's from some WoW Forum post in 2006, and migrated over to the CoX forum via some momo.

I think I'm the person to blame for the delicious tears meme cropping up. I'm not sure where I heard it, but it was my becoming utterly fed up with the blossom of idiotic ignorance around me, and had found people were equally resistant to education. So I just gave up on explaining it and just went with the simple mockery.

Yeah, I blame Talen for the tears thing on this forum. I thought it originated with a South Park episode where Cartman licks someone's face while they're crying over some terrible thing he did to them, but my memory may be playing tricks on me.
*research...research...research*
Ah, if this article is correct, then it was an episode from 2001: Wikipedia.

Kyle: Dude, I think it might be best for us to never piss Cartman off again.
Stan: Good call.
Cartman: Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!
[licks the tears off the table and off Scott's face]
Cartman: Mm-yummy, you guys!

Nice guide. fav'ed.
Unfortunately, as nice as it would be to have, I'm too lazy to get Field Crafter. =/
Another thing that's nice about having Field Crafter is that once you have it, you are in an ideal position to equip all your alts with cheap IOs at need, and end the tyranny of the obnoxious 5-level buy-up.
... so I got Field Crafter first, and read this second. Sigh. I did at least break even on FC, maybe even make some money.
Things I did that helped:
* worked on two different types at once- so if there was a shortage of salvage A, maybe salvages C and D were available at a reasonable price. More than two different badges and I lost track.
*I filled two tables with crafted, but not sold, enhancements. If you don't have your own base this isn't really an option.
*I used an alt to increase the number I had for sale at any given time.
* I actually created a respec mule to get rid of the 35-40 Immobs I crafted. (get to level 3, go to base, grab 10, back to galaxy, vetspec for cash. . . )
* I still threw away a bucket of low level Taunt, Hold, and To Hit Buff IO's. I sold more than expected of the level 25-30 mezzes but I was looking to craft things that weren't in ridiculously high supply. This was probably a waste of my own time and inf (salvage ain't cheap.)
* I already had the needed crafting badge, so that wasn't a problem for me. I figure you craft 500+ making the needful; I don't know how bad the rest are.
* Sale techniques: Don't put up eight of the same thing for sale at one time. You'll clog for sure. Craft the juicier ones first [acc, dam, etc.] and then try to sell a mix. If you're working on a travel badge, you can sell "two run, two fly, one acc, one dam, one acc debuff, one hold, and two heals" a lot easier than you can sell ten "runs."

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Heh, that's a pretty good idea. I usually delete my holds & to hit buff IOs that don't sell (did immobs at first, but they were just impossible to unload even for 1 inf, and holds do occasionally sell). Prolly not time-efficient, but if you hate wasting inf (and I do)...
