So I went to my invertory to check how many items i had to sell to the ninja merchant for gems, and lookie what i found?
Special Ink!
I'm 99% sure that it's the same kind of ink that kboogi would have encountered exactly 7 times (maybe more by now), especially as the description (which I wont post here just in case of spoilers?) supports my idea but the problem is, this ink is one of the rarest items in the game, there are Kages and higher (i personally know of a good few) who havent even found it once. And I have it. But I dont have the SST shell. Now I have to wait at level 15 for days... weeks... maybe months or years till i get another shot at the SST because the last time I tried to get past Oro with a rare item, ALL my rare items were destroyed and all the rubbish like shurikens and junk were perfectly preserved.
What do I do? Stay at level 15? Take a shot at sneaking it past oro? Or just ignore it and hope i encounter it again very soon after getting the actual SST?
