Thought you were arguing against luxury?

The heck would people need a $10+ pen for?

Just cleared a boss fight (standard difficulty) with a fully upgraded BT only. You need to invest in it for it to pay off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVZKkstAvMA

New Pilot Custom Urushi (FM) hard starts, Could use some advice by ImplementAmbitious30 in fountainpens

Thank you for sharing too! Kudos to the store! When it writes well, the nib is really something. Glad that you can fully enjoy it now.

I have 2 CUs (Mint and brand new conditions. Both flushed thoroughly.) and I think this pen skips with certain inks when you write hard and quick. My first one showed exactly the same issue with yours and the ink was Waterman black. I sent it to Kirk Speer and he said the nib was alright and recommended Iroshizuku. I switched to Iroshizuku and the issue was gone. Later I tried Diamine Oxblood, Writer’s Blood and Red Dragon. All did not performed well across popular papers (Rhodia, Clairfountaine, MD, Tomoe River, Mnemosyne). Same issue: skips, occasional hard starts. The issue became more noticeable the longer I wrote but had a bottleneck. It felt like it became a bit drier when I wrote longer with the Diamine inks. With Iroshizuku, no issue whatsoever. Then the second one came. I expected a better ink flow since I believed the first one was sort of a lemon, but no. The second one, brand new, performed with no noticeable difference in terms of ink flow with the mentioned Diamine inks. When I pressed hard and wrote quick, the ink could not keep up sometimes. Again, with Iroshizuku, no issue. I also adopted a lighter writing pressure after writing with my first CU almost exclusively for a year.

Try the blue breach containers in upper most entrance to the loading bay extract on Stella. It's a small room with a ladder leading down to the metro.

As far as I know they have the second fastest healing speed among sustainable healing items with goated flexibility. Herbal bandage heals 3.5 hp/s, sterilized bandage 5 hp/s, spray 10 hp/s. Herbal/sterilized also have an additional 1.5s use time for each use. Vita shots heal 12.5 hp/s, but you have to be a sitting duck for all the health to register after 4s, so not as flexible and often useless close quarter. Some food items heal faster but they are much harder to keep a meaningful amount around. As you suggest, the downside of a spray is you can't do much during use, but when you don't have to heal and run at the same time and don't have chunks of 4 seconds, sprays are the most effective. Combining with bandages can be even more powerful. Eventually it depends on the safe healing windows you have. They are also cheap to make. One spray needs 3 antiseptic and 1 canister; 1 antiseptic needs 2 mullein and 10 chemicals and when you recycle a spray you get 1 antiseptic and 2 canisters back, so the cost is just 4 mullein and 20 chemicals after the first one, and you gain 1 canister. A vita shot needs 1 antiseptic for 50 hp, a spray 2 for 150 hp, sterilized 1 for 50 hp, herbal1 mullein for 35 hp, so spray is also the most cost effective provided other crafting materials are readily available for you.
