Lost Desert Plot Discussion #109 (Summary in First Post)

[stclairl]

Quick question, when you get a new replacement crystal from the chef, does the order of lights change on the top? I had a red, yellow, blue crystal. Went through all the steps, got my sharp eye clue, got my second crystal, only to lose it to my sdb. So, I got a new crystal from the chef, got the second crystal on top of that and finally put that in the light to get my new colors. Well, I forgot to check what the sequence of colors was on the top of my first replacement crystal. From what I can make out, it looks as if my replacement crystal has red, blue, then yellow on the top, as opposed to my original crystal of red, yellow, then blue. Then again, this may just be the second crystal distorting what is underneath. Anywho, if someone knows the answer, it would help

The colour shouldn't change. At least it didn't when I replaced 2 of mine.

Hmm, ok if your pattern didn't change, assuming you have your second crystal on top, can you make out the original pattern that you had or is it different?[/quote]

No, I cannot see the coloured dots at all.

1- Clue leads you to a spike trap. Most people find one in the door to the RIGHT of their Faerie Door.

Thats where I found mine just now. I tried elsewhere, didn't work. Decided to give this a try and it worked. Thanks for posting this Stampsyne. Your post is extremely helpful.

I finally got spiked and the second crystal...waiting for light in <2 hours (been awake for 27 hours now).
I tried 6 doors(missed my light time) before i re-read my first 12 scrolls to get the message again and then the first door i tried gave me the crystal.
for those on door number 6 it is no guarantee, so if you have time/energy before your light make sure the last thing you did was your sharp eye message. (worked for me)

It's three times a day.... 8 hours apart.

I think, I got one at noon and 8, I'm not staying up till 4 (which is 5AM for me to see if that's the pattern).....start times, on the other hand, I don't know how that was swung, but the spacing is probably 8 hours.

I agree on the light timing. Mine are at 10am, 6pm and 2am... my theory is on getting a spiked door, dont wait/try more than 2-3 times, just go reread your scrolls, leave repository and go to temple - if first door tried works then theory proved? (my 27 hours awake was not all wait time just mostly noepets related

Do you get the confirmation text and clue for every scroll or only when you have read the 12 scrolls?

I was stupid to not take a screenshot of my Indiana Light and I am missing the place of 2 blank spots. But they are on either side of the secuence so I have three possible ways to read the scrolls, if I'm not going to have to wait for the light again

Is there any confirmation that you read the right scroll? Or does this confirmation come after you have read all 12 scrolls?

No, I cannot see the coloured dots at all.

My 2nd crystal appears to be a sandwich of a new one over the 1st. The new layer is thin enough that I see 3 dark spots in the position the coloured dots used to be on the 1st crystal, but thick enough that I cannot tell if the spots are coloured.

Also, I have been lucky enough to "see the light" a second time, and I have all 6 rainbow colours in my 2nd pattern but no white. Has anyone found white in their 2nd pattern?

Mine was on my first row, no where near my faerie door. It was the third TEP (eye) door I tried.

I only have 5 colours - blue, green, purple, orange and blue.

Sorry, the confirmation only comes after all 12. It's nerve-wracking.

Argh annoying. If the light is every 8 hours I have a chance in 1 hour!!! I hope

I noticed after I went to bed that others lost their crystal when they stuck it in their SDB, was this just a glitch or do we have to keep it in our inventry
