Think you've seen this before? You have! - but it was from another player and almost two years ago! (Alusz) https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?234151-5000-Sweat-Gatherer-achievement
So, why is this an achievement? Well, for the past approximately 800 days (thats over 2 years!) I decided to abandon hunting Argonauts, completing the Iron, Bronze and Arkadia IFN challenges I hadn't yet completed and instead obtain +1 SG skill point a day to take my 4200 SG to the round figure of 5000!
(This is a time related skill, you can't chip it in, so if you have 12+ hours per day to dedicate to it, you'll easily beat (and overtake) my typical 4 hours per day.)
I basically halted all hunting and mining activities to concentrate to it (occasional team / soc hunts excepted) - although I didn't realise it would take this long (I should have done!)
I especially would like to thank my soc mates and others on my friend list for their patience during this time (it was about as exciting as watching grass grow)
I further want to thank the company of all my fellow sweat gatherers, healers, pullers and of course hunters at Boreas and OLA42 - which is where I spent the majority of the past couple of years. Fantastic company, I've loved all the chat, discussion and even the occasional arguments!!!
I'm aware there are at least 5 people with more skill points in SG than me, I can't catch them up and have no intention to!
So now it is back to burning Ped and getting solo 'swirly's' again! ;-)
and perhaps the search for that elusive...?
