I finally put it down myself. The slog between 1340 and 1370 was too much. I had pretty good engravings and accessories, so the only loot I cared about was the honing materials, and so it just felt like I was grinding for plays on a slot machine. And none of the ways to circumvent the grind sounded very appealing. I did put 200 hours into it, which comes out to about ten cents per hour, so I certainly got my money’s worth!
