Goldfish Scooping!
The weekend was lost to the long lines of the Fellowship Quest. Not to standing on line but logging in and out near it, waiting for the line to short enough.

Monday I logged on and tried to find a purpose. Depressingly far from BLM 68 and too bored to fish. That's right! TOO BORD TO FISH! I decided to do some goldfish scooping. I didn't "get in" to gold fish scooping last year so I decided to try my luck this year and find out what it was all about.

First I bought some super scoops from the Mithra on the bridge in East Sarutabaruta. I pressed "fish" on my menu. The response came back, "You cannot fish without a rod in your hands."
/s How do you scoop the goldfish?
>you buy scoops and equip them then press fish.
/s I did that and it says I can't fish without a rod.
>you need a bowl.
/s can I buy them from the Mithra up there?
>yes

Duh! I am such a noob! Now I am set! Scooping was fun! You either get a small goldfish, a plump black fish, or a fat juicy goldfish that swim up to you. The catches could be a small goldfish, a black bubble-eye, or a lionhead, but mostly lost catches and ripped scoops. I recruited my 8 year old son to help with the scooping. We scooped on and off for about 3-4 hours. It was fun to have the boy, the girl (age 5), and the wife (age withheld upon request) sitting around the room goofing around all day. We then tried to get our prize! That stupid Mithra wouldn't give up the goods. I then ran to the Windy AH to buy us a few more points. Still, no workie. So, dejectedly we decided we'd try again later and the family went off to find us some grub.
While they were at the store I had a friggin' brainstorm! Trade the fish to the Mithra! DUUUUH! Feeling quite retarded I waited until the family returned to get our prizes. We got a stack of Spirit Masque for 50 points and a goldfish set for 80 points. The Masques were a hit on the Bibiki Barge. They put an ice-like mask on me for a few moments with a little puff of smoke or mist or something above my head. The golfish set is still a mystery to me. I hope to find out more about it soon.
