[center][b][size=6]Sky Undertakes a Quest for an Overdue Silverbeast[/size][/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/9y5z4yV.png[/img] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/88ouyqmqwiwndc5/icemid.png[/img] [size=4]I have been grinding for an overcharged silverbeast on and off for [i]months[/i] now. It is not going well. Instead of this one familiar, I have a cleaver and an entire set of chroma apparel, a vista, three eggs and an eliminate, a rally, an ambush, and a duplicate goldenbeast. Basically the only thing the jungle hasn't dropped for me at this point is the silverbeast. You know—the one thing that I actually want from the venue. In desperation, I've decided to make a fancy quest thread in the hopes that Murphy's Law will kick into effect, and the RNG will take notice of the amount of effort I've put into coding it and decide to make it entirely redundant by just dropping the familiar already. I'll post updates with my new loot when I finish grinding each day. I don't track my number of battles, but the bosses usually drop their items, so I think that will be a fairly accurate count of how many of them I've encountered.

[center][b][size=5]Friday, Mar 2[/size][/b] Had a lot of time to grind today and got a good loot haul to show for it. Still in search of that elusive silverbeast though.

[center][b][size=5]Friday, Mar 16[/size][/b] Had my first go at the new coli yesterday, and then forgot to post results before rollover. Hate the camping and the delay before the abilities button is clickable, but like the speed otherwise. At least I got an egg out of it.

[center][b][size=5]Sunday, Mar 18[/size][/b] No notable loot today, just foodpoints and sadness.

[center][b][size=5]Friday, May 25[/size][/b] Took a bit of a break from the coli, but decided that today would be a good day to get back into the Silverbeast hunt. Got a Rally out of it, at least.

@/Buffykiev Whoa, I didn't know anybody was subscribed! I will get my stupid junglemonkey eventually, it's just so boring to grind in the jungle when I could be training fodder instead haha.

The thing I love about the Mire is that there are basically no good drops, so I'm never disappointed by all the crummy loot, and like once a year I even get a surprise egg out of it.

[center][b][size=5]Friday, June 1[/size][/b] Once again, I emerge the clear loser in this eternal game of Sky vs. the RNG.

[center][b][size=5]Friday, July 6[/size][/b] I've been a bit distracted by the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2441703]Coliseum Scavenger Hunt[/url] lately. For some reason I'm finding it way more fun than this silverbeast hunt, even though they both have exactly the same structure - grind a venue until you get one specific item. Maybe it's because there are other participants to commiserate with.
