My Nitemare Scarf~~~!
I had my eye on this item the day I started Gaia! It took me 3 years(!) of almost entirely solo questing to get it! Lots of selling and trading and zOMging and selling items like Penguin Slippers and a wee bit o GCash~~~
(it was 6.8mil in 2009, instead of the craaaazy price it is today, but that was crazy then!)
Then, alas!, it was stolen by a scammer because I trusted him. All that work just to lose it the day AFTER I got it!
(Which happened to be my 21st birthday to boot!)
Needless to say, I grew up a lot that day. That cured my naiveness pretty much.
But, lo and behold, the gracious Admins of Gaia to my rescue! Within two weeks they got that scammer banned and I got my Scarf back! It's been permanently attached to my avi since, not just because it's expencive and cool looking (not ugly like someponys think it is *evil glares* ), but also because it's a part of my Gaia life~~~~!
Oh my goodness! I remember this actually happening! I am sure you had posted about it back when it actually happened!
I'm glad you got it back. I have no items that were as hard a quest as all that, but I would be sad if any of them went, because I loved doing those quests!
