Hi, I've been watching a lot of thoughts and opinions about the NATLA and I'm so lost, why does every Kataanger believes that Katara calming down Aang is extremely important for their story and extremely sweet and even romantic? I find it the most toxic and disturbing part about them. The pure pressure on Katara's shoulders knowing she's the only one to be able to calm down the embodiment of this godly creature that is supposed to guard peace and harmony... I think there could have been a golden middle where it does happen, but there'd be times where it's Sokka that calms him down or Toph. I would agree the NATLA lacks the deep bonds Gaang had in the original (I watched only 1st season and I felt like something's off about the characters and how they interact) but I'm absolutely flabbergasted to see all those adult people claiming that a 14 year old girl repeatedly calming down a 12 year old god-like boy that is about to destroy everything and everyone in it's way is cute and positive... My personal interpretation is that Katara decided to stay with Aang just to keep the peace honestly. I'm scared to watch the show, I heard there's some Zutara fan service, but I'm scared to get my heart broken if they decide to go with Kataang 😢

Hi!

So I heard and felt like there's less palium and it's harder to come by. I saw claims it's about the new furniture sets and plushie so people mine palium and ignore everything else. I've spent like 1,5h on mining every single rock I could see, small or big. I made 3 rounds so only 1 round would be on "leftovers" of unwanted nodes.

This is the result

1,403 stone, 463 whitestone and 219 palium, 14 platinum + some rare stuff

I used Belafontine's Blessing ring so there was a bit of RNG to it.

My thoughts:

There's way too much whitestone on the map, most big nodes I managed to find were whitestones,

We need more medium nodes and less small ones, they feel like a waste of time and tools,

It feels straight up unpleasant to grind for palium, I could get 100 of any other ore in 15 minutes or less,

It's made even worse that we get 0 essence by mining in the Elderwood,

After 1,5 round server started winding down and in the middle of 3rd round I got kicked out, so all my effort of clearing out nodes to reset them is in vain, nobody will profit from it.

As much as I don't like being selfish, I will not start smashing whitestones. Chances are the server will wind down and die soon after I clear it anyway or the small node of whitestone I mined will turn into another whitestone anyway...

Share your thoughts! <3

EDIT: Thanks for letting me know, I'm aware now that the ring does not work outside of RH, unfortunately :(
