I am letting the sunflowers grow. For now, I have one single seed that is of the green-tier quality. I would prefer to have some blue-tier quality seeds but oh well, you can get blue-tier crops from harvesting green-tier seeds. Although they are a little on the rare side. Still, it should be doable. 

But, I don't just wanna stand there and wait for it to grow. So I made myself some loop path and am riding it on my horse to train it and level it up. Hopefully, it will get a new skill. I would really like it if the horse learned to sprint. So far, only one of my horses has it and it is a tier 4 horse. So not too good. This one is a tier 5. Still not much better but in the end, it is better than nothing. 

I'll take a break from training the horse when some of the sunflowers grow. Then I'll continue.

 I have bred and replanted my sunflowers and now I'm waiting again for them to grow. I still don't have even a single higher-tier seed. Hopefully, I'll get lucky this time. Illu's waiting on the roof for it all to grow. But this is definitely more of a long-term project and not a short, fast quest. Still, I'm gonna stick with it because I really do want to up my farming skill and use the top-tier planting plot I have.

 I have acquired and planted my sunflower seeds and now am waiting for them to grow so I can breed them into higher-quality seeds. Then I will plant those and proceed with the farming quest. But for now, I'm going back to my Velia farming plot and see if I can harvest anything there. And then I think I might just switch to a diff. character for a while. At least until the sunflowers grow.

 waiting for the maintenance to finish. Looking forward to playing. Need to start on those sunflowers. My farming skill won't level up on its own.

fishing

 I have been fishing 🎣 for at least two hours. Trying to catch some Bluegill and Rosy Bitterling. 🐟 Only one of each so far. I need two of one and three of the other. For a quest. But I'll probably have to go and get a new fishing rod soon. I think the durability on this one is getting a little low. Probably won't last much longer. 

Honestly, I should be doing the main questline, Valencia 🌵 or Kamasylvia 🌳. Don't feel like it. So I'm mucking around with some side and daily quests. Slowly making my way through the journal quests. Those are interesting. I'm probably gonna try to do at least one per day. 

I'm also working on my farming/gardening 🥕🍅. Okay, says farming. So farming. I have two fences that I can't use yet and I wanna. So I have to level up the skill. The next task on that list has something to do with sunflowers 🌻. So I'm thinking of just finishing all the crops that I'm currently growing and then moving my current plots closer to the targeted location for those sunflowers. 

And I just caught my second Bluegill 🐟. Good. Need that. One more and I can go and turn the quest in. But I still need one more Bitterling. Then I will be able to turn in the second quest too. 

Also, I might stop using the emojis here. They take too long to insert. 

I keep catching old rope. I want fishies. Preferably those I need. But some high-grade ones will do nicely too. I can sell those. 

The fishing rod survived. I have all the fish I needed. I'm going to go turn those quests in now. And the bastard gave me another fishing quest. This time he wants Soho Bitterling. So let's see how long this takes. Hopefully a lot less than the other two quests took. 

Yup. First try and it was the fish I needed. Turning it in now.

And now he wants a catfish. Alright, I'll get him some.

No luck with the catfish yet. I keep getting junk items and will have to run to get a new rod soon. 

Yep, rod's busted. Went to get my horse and now I'm going to get a replacement. Maybe even two or three. Just in case. Who knows how long this will take. And how many rods.

Game crashed. Lame. Happens every so often. And I hate it. Good, it uncrashed itself. Back to getting me my rod. Or three.

But since I'm in Velia now, I can go and sell all those fishes I have filling my inventory. And to drop a bunch of Caphras Stones in my storage there. Should have already done that but I forgot. So I had them in my inv. Not for much longer. I don't need them right now, but I'm no longer selling them. Mostly because I finally know what they are for. 

I'm back at my fishing spot. Hoping to catch that catfish soon. 

Had to restart the game. Forgot that installing any graphic updates while running it is a bad idea. Hopefully, it didn't put all my visual settings completely out of whack.

Okay, looks good. So back to fishing. But I'm glad. I hate having to put the settings back into some semblance of order.

Ha! Got the catfish! And that's it, he doesn't want any more fish. So great! I'm going elsewhere now. Will check on my garden and deal with the sunflower gardening quest. In Calpheon. See you later.
