Lan's Nitemare Scarf Quest 2.0!

[RLM]

A thread set up mainly for my (so far) 3-year-running quest for the nitemare scarf~
(and maybe to be used for some side quests too) ^ ^

I didn't seriously get into questing the scarf until probably a year ago, when I set up my own art shop.
A large part of the gold earned before that was big thanks to friends who had very kindly donated.
My current biggest ways of earning gold are
profits from the art shop, the B/C shops I now color in, on and off commission requests/orders and various art contests.
On top of that, great friends continue to help without me asking and I thank them so much~ ^w^

- This will be NMSQ quest thread 2.0 -
Chatting and donations are much appreciated, so.. hope you enjoy your stay~~

I'm still calling it Lan's quest thread... I liked my name too much..
