I know ,I am going to be verbally attacked on this, but I have to say it.

the NPC for ice and fire mage has favored items that are almost impossible to get,
but with effort might be able to buy cheese over time. the other choice I need a group.

the items such as eggs and feathers you need a group. I was on a run and 7 Phoenix birds were killed no drops.
I assume there is one feather or egg for those who get it first, instead of one for each members of the group.
frustration is word for this.

I am not in a guild therefore this is impossible to get these items. Before I could grind and get what I need. that was fun. fire mage at this point it is impossible, I will have to go back to sword or try to get ice mage.

if there is something that I am missing, let me know.
