Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 8]

[Daze]

I like Sway too.

[Siniri]

Joining Sway since there's a clear preference which I share.

[Blue]

Hmm. It is Friday today? I missed the sign-ups this round. Good luck to all!

[Pickles]

Got in some battling today. Probably won't do much more. Life has been crazy lately.

[Siniri]

Must battle today. I'm sick (stomach bug), but hopefully I can manage the minimum. I'm going to be home all day, anyway!

[Daze]

Oh dear. You need to set an alarm, Blue!

I hope you are feeling better Siniri. Stomach bugs can really make you feel blurghh.

I only got in 20 battles. Just couldn't face anymore this time around.

Luckily, Sway win. Chose Black Market boon again.

[Siniri]

I got the same number, Daze. I dozed off, woke up, and somehow remembered last night before bed. I am feeling better. Thankfully it only lasted about twelve hours.

I'm going with the FQ boon again. Have to remember to open my cookie this afternoon.

[Pickles]

Went with FQR again.

Day 1: Water->refreshed to Battle, woot!

[Siniri]

Just remembered to open my cookie. Guess I waited late enough!

Total Spent: 745 NP, +3 HP (+3 stats, ave. = 3/quest)
Savings from cookie: 49,733.33 NP (+1 stat)

Day 7: Didn't buy anything.

Net Total: 102,398 nps

A nice boost on day 5 when I managed to grab a background selling for around 58k.

The Backgrounds sell quickly, and just selling the Dreamy Pink Hearts Background will give me back most of my original outlay.

Day 4: Ugh. I thought I'd been through all the letters, and the cheapest was over 7k. I figured it was worth refreshing since most quests are cheaper than that. I refreshed the SW window to make sure the Chinese characters had "stuck" (so I wouldn't get a NC quest), but I didn't pay attention to the new (much cheaper) price, and so I refreshed the quest before realizing the 4k item had appeared. So instead I got an even more expensive quest of the same kind! No luck making up any of my loss at the thrift shoppe. Someone's restocking there (perhaps with a bot), so I managed to snag absolutely nothing, not even when multiple good items showed up there. Maybe I'll try again later.

Day 5: Totally makes up for yesterday! Yay! Hard not to win by refreshing an air faerie quest (though I've had it replaced with the same before). It's also annoying that language switching is glitching like crazy again.

Day 7: Well, technically the refresh came out a wash, but I'd rather have a guaranteed +2 stats any day over a 1/3 chance of +0 stats and 2/3 chance of +3 stats. Especially since level is behind. The probability was very high that I'd receive as good or better a quest. *shrugs*

Compared to last time, I did "terrible" with this cookie, but nearly 200k in savings in a week is nothing to sneeze at!

Days 8 and 9: Soup was great, but then Fyora for 10 NP?! No need for the boon with quests like these! Str is already at 680, though, so I'll have to cool it with the cookies for a while (or actually buy some red codestones and train aggressively...).

You get the win for the boons this round Siniri. Your 200K beats my 102K. Congrats!

New challengers:
Order of the Red Erisim
Thieves Guild
Seekers

I really need wins against the Order to even up my battle stats. So Thieves or Seekers would be nice for me!!

[Pickles]

Order would be my preference just for the cookie boon, but I'll go with whichever.

[Siniri]

I just accidentally joined the Order because I misread that Daze wanted to join them and thought that was two votes for them. Sorry!

[Blue]

Hmm... Well, it would not be much of a bandwagon if only Siniri joined the Order... Joined the Order before I miss out yet again.
