Signed up for Beta 1 on September 7, 2001. Have been a player or subscriber since, though I do take multi-month long breaks sometimes.
Won the title "Son of Amon Ra" for coming in second place in a contest at the end of Beta 1, though there were few competitors.
Best qualities: Diamond tipped hatchet: 9632 "Decline and Fall" Sold this, but I forget to who. Can never remember my trades, next telling I need to start keeping records. Anything higher would be extremely difficult, it's all luck at that point.
Scythe: 9169 Second only to Pheanor-Re's 9205. Some very fun competition for a while. Haven't made these in a very long time, so it might be possible to get a bit higher.
Resin Wedge: 9198 Thought I had a 9200 at some point. Haven't practiced a whole lot since the market isn't very good. Named just might be possible, though very difficult.
Archaeologist Shovel: 9264 Talk about a useless item... could certainly do a lot better, with practice named should be possible.
Carpentry Blade: 8837 Only because of the Ra contest. Could certainly do better since it's not limited hits, but probably not worth the time to bother.
Shovels, Hatchets, Ritual Blade: Nothing worth noting, except that I've never bothered to make a 9999 hatchet.
Misc: I'm most proud of the fact that I appear to be the only one selling high quality diamond tipped hatchets. For a while I didn't sell anything lower than 9400 quality, but that was too annoying, so I dropped it to 9300. It's rare that I ever end up lower than 9300. Some more personal diamond tipped hatchet records, quality in blows:
Most impressive to me is roughly 9000 quality in half the total blows!
Wine glass: 939x Gave this to Dors. Have made a handful in the 9300+ range. I'm averaging 9000 quality in maybe 1 in 3 or 4, which I think is pretty good. Would be cool if someone made a named one. New: 9519* Can't be named! Bummer!
Hookah bowl: 88xx? Really don't remember hookah bowl records, but I was getting closer to 9k. Can usually manage 8500 without too much trouble. New: 9008* Finally broke 9k!
Barometer sphere: ? Had to use a mule to make these, and there wasn't much of a market so haven't made many. I'm thinking my best sphere was in the 8200-8400 range.
I really suck at distillation coils, which is probably noteworthy. Have probably made less than 20.
At one point I had 500 fine glass rods, that I earned selling wine glasses. Would probably say I've made a few hundred wine glasses.
In ATITD1 I had about 2000 cut gems by the end. I probably cut a few hundred more than that which I never kept track of, and I sometimes discard. Harder to tell in ATITD2 but it is probably a bit less than 2000 again.
Mostly proud of my Gem Museum, which has 44 tables and cuts. Most of them are mine and I think some are really good. Teppy seems to like the museum, he said he's shown it to a few people. In general the average quality is a lot better than what I did in ATITD1. Maybe someday I'll upload pictures somewhere. Those unique cuts are probably the only thing I'll be sad to lose when the tale ends, since some are so insanely rare I'll never see them again. Would be extremely fun if there was some automated way to calculate rarity!
