With the pain of RNG-dependent drops behind me, all that is required to transform the Gae Bolg Atma into its Animus form are nine (9) upgrades that come with a number of requirements: they cost 1500 Tomestones of Mythology each, they require completing a series of objectives, and they can only be done one at a time. So let’s look at everything that has happened up until the first upgrade…

Finally at Item Level 90! Time to do absolutely no gear progression until I get my Gae Bolg Atma finished (read: never). Details inside.
Level 50 Culinarian: Journey to MASTER CHEF
Sometimes I wonder why I chose Culinarian of all things to cap; I could have capped something that could actually make me money, like any of the armorcrafts or Alchemy or something else. Whatever.
