Lost Desert Plot Discussion #132 (Summary in First Post)

[mercurius]

If anyone wants to know, the weapons don't work on other opponents. So, we probably won't be keeping them. . .

[Huggles]

I'm a little confused... For my new prophesy I got "The golden eye shines truth upon those who would do evil" instead of "The father of the prince will destroy the great desert". I entered my first one and got scarabed. Is the 2nd what you have to put in to get the weapons or will that get me kicked out?

So far, everyone else has gotten the second one and been able to pick a weapon. Either it glitched, which is possible, or the old one is still stored in your cache. But, the second one should be the one to use.

The weapons don't work now because they don't have anything programmed into them other than "kill Jazan's daddy". If they did have hidden stats, they would have to be ungodly for anyone to take him down and it wouldn't make sense to let us go pummeling the other opponents. I'm just hoping once this is over, we'd get to keep them. Maybe they could even keep the NFT/SALE factor. That way, only people who complete the plot to that point could ever have them, and like the Neoquest weapons, they might turn out halfway decent.

Please. *makes puppy dog eyes*

i can't believe i chose the mace, i can't believe it!! and you want to know WHY i chose it? .....be..... because it was PRETTY!!!!

i'm betting most of neopia will have chosen the mace, and now if we get to keep them, and we want to SELL them, they will be worth less than a ha'penny!!

well... at least i got a weapon. but, i didn't beat Razul, and that means my score will be lower! i.... i..... oh PHOOEY!!![/b]

[allnameswereout]

i don't know why, and the crystal was not really in spike trap, but when i clicked on the place where the crystal should be i gotten the 2nd one... 15 min later, a grundo leader stole it again **** now i still don't know how i can continue... puzzle trap doesn't have crystal, spike trap doesn't have crystal.... i'll try jelly now but i don't believe in it anymore...

I chose the Spear of Infinite Wisdom because (1) I seem to have a bunch of very smart pets, even the Battledome pet; (2) I had a hunch that it would be the one chosen by the fewest people. Therefore, if a certain minimum number of hits by certain weapons were necessary to lay Razul to rest, there would be a need for Spear hits. Plus, if we get to keep them the Spear would be one of the rarest. (Oops, did I just defeat my purpose, by saying that?)

I think they did throw this last bit together because everyone was so disappointed. Still, not a bad save, TNT.

Kei's Buddy (and LearningFur, the relatively smart fighting pet)

PS to those who have visited my favorite site (the rest of you can go back to whatever you were doing): in the real world, Kei the Wolf's cause has been adopted by the truly cool webcomic http://www.BlueCrashKit.com. They're going to have a special "Free Kei" comic this Friday. W00t!

You get the "The golden eyes ....etc" prophecy if you click on the symbols in the wrong order (as I did). You can re-do the symbols in the correct order to get the right prophecy.

You do not have to wait an hour to visit Nuria, just refresh to get the message box and put in the new prophecy.


EDIT: I choose the Scimitar of Eternal Dawn....no real reason - it had a good name and looked cool.

I won the fight....with 21/281 hps remaining.

I used Berserk, Honey Potion and the Scimitar.

i was looking at that sabre pretty closely- then i saw the mace! there aren't too many nice looking weapons in my opinion, and the mace was so shiney it was mesmerizing!!

i said to myself: "Glor, if you choose that mace, it'll be pretty, but i bet it won't do a bit of good!" But i kept staring at the mace @_@ ... the colors i tell you!! and i was even thinking "it says mace of righteous flame. he's made of flame. it won't put a dent in him!" long story short, this sucker took the mace. and the very reason i took it (for looks) crumbled away right WHEN i took it, just like everyone elses weapons did. this reminds me of relationships.... O_O' i think i need to uh, do something else for a while!

Edit: Just had an (admittedly stupid) idea - has anyone gone to the map room during light time and tried, oh I don't know, sticking their weapon in the crystal slot. And no, I mean that literally, not metaphorically.

Yeah, it's been tried. I think we're back to waiting now. I'm terribly disappointed that Nuria is STILL a statue. I'm sure Nabile is equally disappointed that Jazan and Qasala are still cursed... but we shall see!

[stampsyne]

maybe uncursing will unfreeze Nuria ... and that darn statue in Maraqua to start the next plot

[neomania]

I picked the spear too because well I have always wondered what it would be like possess infinite wisdom. Plus my pet is a lenny so it just seemed like a good fit.

you know, i bet you're right....two faeries encased in stone at the same time? not a coincidence if you ask me. and TNT has been awful tricksey as of late...and i like it!

i picked the spear, if anyone cares....i figured the whole wisdom thing might help me solve the puzzle a little faster.

[mercurius]

Does anyone have the pictures of all the weapons somewhere?

edit: nevermind -

[supRNurs]

I knew those new symbols were waaaayy too familiar to me! Found the reason back in split 79.

Edit: I don't know how long Nuria has been in stone, but isn't it coincidental that the Darkest Faerie has been cursed for as long as Jazan is old?

[Kaebel]

Maybe this was discussed already, but I got a different thing to say to my statue.

"The golden eye shines truth upon those who would do evil"

I said it, and I got burried in a mountain of scarabs...

I said it better not be a pile of scarabs again as I was scrolling down too, and this is what I get grr lol.

I think that it may be because you have to click on the symbols in backwards order. I am assuming you did them forwards?

Bleh, I knew I had to click it backwards, so I wrote it out backwards, and then read that backwards, ending up reading it forwards lol. Talk about being mixed up.

[muzzle32]

news is up....dont' notice anything new about ldp though
