Lost Desert Plot Discussion #88 (Summary in First Post)

[Cilian]

My only request in terms of LC discussions is would people please stop gushing about how incredibly simple it is and it took them half a second to solve. You're very smart, gold shiny star for you. But some of us aren't that fast with that kind of puzzle and all those kinds of posts were honestly making me feel like a moron for awhile.

The chef looks at you askance. "Oh, did you lose your crystal? Well, they're useless. Here, have another one." He rummages in the box at his feet and hands you another useless crystal.


apparently you can add "get it stolen by the pant devil" to the list of things you can do with your crystal

As has been said, reading scrolls of statue room door colour won't work, my statue room door is black; my statue symbol is a fer, so I'm off to find all the fer symbols too.

I read a little earlier that there were some hidden stairs, or an 'open' wall or some such thing in the basement but I can't find anything. Does anyone have the coordinates?

Wrong place to yap about LC but sorry I had to answer this I can do the word ones easy But the math ones forget it! I have to grab my son or my husband to help me with them lol

[supRNurs]

Well, after I helped everyone and their cousins (outside of PPT) with their crystals , I decided to try reading scrolls in order of the LC colors, as I posted earlier. But I have been searching for almost half an hour now for a blue ahn (my statue's symbol) scroll and still can't find one! grrrrrrrr
So, it is late - errrr... early morning here and I am going to bed! Hope you guys develop some amazing theories while I'm sleeping!

Oops, I'm sorry, let me explain this this because I wasn't clear. I said it was easy because it is easier than the similar neopets word games (word pyramid, poker, and that space letters thing). Compared to the other neopet anagram puzzles, it is not the same level TNT puts out. For instance, when it's a math LC, it's more difficult than 'maths nightmare'. Relative to TNT anagrams, it is easy.

That's what I meant, it doesnt have anything to do with which kind of puzzles one prefers.

Speaking of word-twisters, whether you hate them or like them, enjoy my Poem#9:

(It's the best yet, promise, especially if you saw my earlier post; true story about the Lost Desert Plot T-shirt.)

What was this "Delete all" button that everyone was talking about a while ago?

Only one t-shirt then? I really want to keep it for my t-shirt gallery, but I wasted so much time on the plot that I'd like to finish it... really in two minds about it.

I was trying to help a friend get the useless crystal and it doesn't work. We went to the scroll repository, found the chef and talked to him, then went to the gift shop and -- oops, nothing special happened. We refreshed several times but still nothing happened. My friend has fought the spirit of the ruins but didn't win, is that the problem?

Has your friend translated the tablet? It was discovered that you need a completed tablet in order to get the vial.
