The effing earring from ToV. I had busted to get 2500 each of mats to raise tailoring and I think I got .4 in skill ups. (Middle finger at game) and started selling off any and all TS mats. It was liberating and I do not regret it lol.

Ahh, yes, the Swiftmantle. I have gotten lucky and have gotten it on my 3 characters in under 5 runs each. I have helped others where we went up to 10 runs. Another guy is at 15+ runs with no luck.
Artisan prize when you deleted a reward and it has been more 30 days so CS can't help. Try to redo quest multiple times and items get ate..just walk away...
Half a dozen times I've tried to get a little bit of progress done on the Artisan's Prize and half an hour later I've filled what little bag space I have with countless worthless tradeskill items (bonus: these may or may not be used for further recipes so I cannot destroy them) for perhaps 1 skill-up if I'm lucky and I lose the will to live. I'm quite probably contributing to the FV lag with all the level 1 mules I have with every possible tradeskill material saved since you never know when they might be used for something in the future.
I've returned to the halfling illusion mask camp a few times over the years. I remember the first time I gave up though. I kept track of every mob that spawned and what they dropped. The moment I gave up was after I had charmed all the surrounding mobs giving them the weapon that can drop from the named that drops the mask. Every nearby mob was dual wielding that weapon when I gave up. It would almost feel wrong to get that mask. Especially when working from home it would be trivial to get most likely, considering even many years ago it was a no effort camp.
