Windurst Fame Fail

So last night after Z and I farmed up that Star Spinel (he did most of the work, as usual), I went back to Windy to trigger the quest - only to find that after doing all the pre-req quests I didn't have enough fame to trigger the one that needed the Star Spinel. Bah.

So I got drunk and went to sleep just as Z was getting ready to pop Gration with the shield either Ed or Kev made (can't remember). I really wanted to stay up and do fame quests and see if Gration dropped the Tatami Shield, but I was too wasted.

I woke up and cursed myself that I didn't fall asleep in MH. Ran to MH, check d.box... full of gil. Dammit. Wait for refresh, wait for refresh... oh, there's Tatami Shield from Z. YAY! Then I set about doing all the non-sucky, non-leaving-Windy quests. Turns out there aren't any because they all suck. In the end I gave up and traded away all the Beehive Chips I'd farmed while exping. Still not enough fame. I went and bought Cornette's and that did the trick, finally.

Hooray, Star Necklace! Charm setup now has CHR+23 before food - not too shabby, but not perfect. Missing HQ lvl 54 rings and HQ Melody earrings... but I don't think I'm going to bother.

God, getting fame sucks.
