Yay! Momentarily despaired on Rainbow Slugs in Fallen Arm with making it rain once again, then i discovered that the one place they're easily found, behind a level 95 UM on Distant Fingertip, is accessible without having it raining (which is the only time that UM disappears), since he's just thin enough to sneak behind if you don't touch his wing-tip to catch its aggro. Ended up with three of the things all told.
Now only Reyn-Dunban and Sharla-Riki remain as Blue links. Once i get them up to purple, i'm going to dump every collectable that i have more than one of (old policy was more than five) and that isn't marked for a quest or used for colony 6.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
