Crating the Celestial Observatory - Part 1

Hello there! Sierra Fairyfriend here again to show you how you can craft your very own house! This time, we're tackling something a lot of people dread - The Celestial Observatory!

*everybody screams in terror*

Trust me, it's not as tough as it sounds but it'll require a lot of time, money and patience!

First off, forget about even getting the recipe until you reach Celestia and are a Master Artisan. You can't buy the recipe from the turtle guy(forgot his name) here until you reach the Celestia Base Camp and it'll set you back a whopping 60,000 g! Yikes! (If you haven't unlocked the fight with Halfang Bristlecrown in Vestrilund, get a friend on your account to do it! Trust me, the stuff he drops sells for a ton of dough!)

Now we have the recipe but boy howdy, look at how many crafted items you have to make! This is like the Watchtower Hall - you need to craft a ton of items for the reagants. The Celestial Shield is an exception - it's not a craftable item but a boss drop. Yeah, KI, thanks a LOT. :(

Luckily, I so happened to stumble upon some poor sap who sold all his Celestian Tree Sprigs in the bazaar which saved me a lot of time and resources, but for sake of reference, this is the total of what you need in order to craft three of these babies, which you need for the house:

3 Celestian Tree Sprigs:

• 3 Gargantuan Treasure Cards
• 3 Perfect Amethysts
• 3 Shadow Oil
• 15 Golden Pearl
• 9 Fish Fin
• 15 Sandstones
• 21 Diamonds 

I have everything but 14 Diamonds, so I was lucky to get these for the cheap in the Bazaar. I could save the Sandstone for crafting Sunstones, which you are going to need a LOT of to make most of the rest of the stuff! Ouch! X_X)

That's it for now, next time I'll show how to get two more items - the Celestial Shield and the Star Chalice, the easiest item of the bunch to craft. Cheers! ^_^
