Try this marinade next time you do a Tri-Tip. It turned out one of the best I've done. I've cooked maybe 40-50 Tri-Tip in the Sous Vide now.

Tri-tip, use:

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp Dijon or Yellow Mustard

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp brown sugar

1½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp coarse black pepper

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp dried rosemary

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Marinaded 24hrs in the fridge.

8 hours sous vide 129.5°F

4 minutes per side on sear to finish on the grill, (2 minutes, then rotate 90°, flip, then rotate 90°.)

*Forgot to take a picture until afterwards.

I started playing CD about 2 weeks after the release. I am a part-time gamer, full-time working dad/husband. My gaming time is limited and usually fueled by following guides to maximize my gaming experience.

That being said, early on, I obtained the Scortchflame Chest Plate. At some point I sold it, and it wasn't until last week that I realized the significance of that set.

I contacted Pearl Abyss last week, and submitted a ticket for an update proposal. I suggested that they put a NPC Vendor in Hernand that permanently has any one-off item we've sold, to any vendor, for resale, even if it's a 100-200% mark-up.

I explained my reasoning being that I sold the Scortchflame Chest Plate weeks ago, prior to the lock option. Even though the lock option is nice now, it would still be a great feature to have, to repurchase something weeks later that we may not have realized we would want. I have probably 3 or 4 dozen one-off items I've found in my storage. If I could sell them now, knowing I can repurchase later, IF NEEDED, that would be great!

Anyways, long story short, I didn't receive any email response to my ticket. I figured they are slammed busy, but hoped they'd at least hear my feedback at some point.

Yesterday, I opened my chest in the camp...

THE FREAKING SCORTCHFLAME PLATE IS IN THERE NOW!

Not once in my ticket did I ask for this, nor did I know it was even an option. I simply gave my experience as an example as to why my suggestion would be a valid update fix.

*Pearl Abyss team, you rock!*
