It cracks me up how ridiculously difficult some items are to get manually in this game. It's like the devs are all sitting around trying to think of ways to make people have to script in order to play at all.
I had a friend a while back who refused to script, he got all of his library glasses, obtained mining and lumberjack resources, trained, etc all by hand. I don't think he even knew how to simplify things more with UOA. Some people are beyond my comprehension.
