That's what I have been doing, but my old ionized axe ain't what it used to be.

Challenges and contests are nice, and I try my best everytime. Since I just can't put that much $ around here, my only way to keep climbing up I realized was to either win / buy / find (?) a unique weapon with low end reqs, or to find out the best melee weapon with the less endurance requirements.

I know I'm not the only player in that situation. It is frustrating, but it is not against the game or anyone here. It's just how it is. I'm kind of stuck.

Hence why I was miffed with the Valentine thingy. Planning ahead a "sick day" at work is kind of difficult to execute, but I tought and still think it is my only way out of a possible win on one of Zen's contest.

With the skills in axe, it's a difficult choice for me to move over something else... I regret every day not having bought that Shogunate on the market. ALmost every day.
