I paid 9k on Fennin Ro for the 9 items needed to make this earring.
I took the 9 items and placed them in a forge. With a skill of 0, I clicked combine, and the earing (and spell) appeared on my cursor.
At this point, I did something REAAAAAAAAAAALLY STOOOOPID and placed the earing and spell back in the forge (I thought it was one of my bags). This cause the items to poof and my head to pound on the wall in agony.
Six hours later, a very generous and understanding GM restored my items.
Please don't make the same mistake I made.
