So with 2 hours before the maintenance that just started, I decided to break out my GEO WS wand and do 300 WS points since I just hit 99 GEO and that's when all the AF and GEO-exclusive WS can be done.
I had done my AF wand and bell and had started with the day-wait-NPC-crafted-AF for GEO. I also got my Trial Wand for Geomancerific quest to unlock Exudation WS. I headed out to The Boyahda Tree to beat on some high level puks, crawlers, and crabs. Ayame trust was cool with opening Kasha to Black Halo for light so I was set.
I'm keeping track of my WS points in /echo. It's ten minutes before servers are shutting down. I timed that nearly perfectly. I hit 300 points in /echo. No WS. Okay, I must have miscounted. 305. Hmm. 310. Wait, what? 315. Okay. Something is wrong.
I had my friggin' AF Dowser's Wand on instead of my Trial Wand.
Yeah. That just happened. Have a laugh at my expense, and maybe learn from it and keep it in the back of your head so it doesn't happen to you.
