The stamp would be nice. Daze and I will get it this week... right after I find a live chicken with teeth and lips sitting on my kitchen floor.

Day 1: LRR - 645 NP, (245 NP Net)
Day 2: LRL - 2,260 NP (1,860 Net)
Day 3: LLL - 1,933 NP (1,533 Net)

Total Net: 3,638

Quest 1: Light (1489 NP) -> Fire (earned 950 NP from thrift shoppe) 300 NP, +3 str (savings = 49872.33)
Quest 2: Battle 1249 NP, +3 HP, +3 str, +3 def
Quest 3: Air (790 NP) -> Soup 189 NP, +2 str, +2 level (savings = 191,534.33)

Total Spent: 788 NP, +8 str, +3 HP, +3 def, +2 level
Savings from Cookie: 241,406.67 NP

(Cost of training: 47,733.33/stat or 143,200/3 stats) - assuming it hasn't changed since my penultimate cookie

The stamp's worth 70M, but there are also 1.7M wings, 5M background, 2M pb, and 1.5M petpet to win. At this point, you guys have to win an item to beat me; even if you got the max FC NP all 7 days (25k), you'd still be behind me (unless I start getting negative refreshes...). How's your cookie going, Pickles? (I know each stat increase is worth a lot more to you, so you're probably beating me in raw NP... I guess I should keep track of the number of extra useful stats I get, which currently sits at 5.)

It's hard to really calculate what mine are worth. My battle pet only gets quests that improve level or HPs in general, as I'm more than maxed out on the other stats. (I'm actually over 800 for Movement, 900 for defence, and 1000 for strength). My back-up pet, which gets all the quests that will improve those stats, is a retired lab rat. If I actually took the time to train her level up to half her HP, she'd be in the 3 red codestone range, so I guess that's what you'd count her stats worth? I'm not really sure. Also, I haven't been checking prices on the original item vs. the refreshed item, so I can't really count savings, per say.

Here's what I've gotten/refreshed so far:
1: FQ, 7,000nps, lvl+2, hp+5, str+5, to battle pet
2: Earth, had the item, mov+3, to back-up battle pet, was Earth, refreshed
3: Water, 1,888nps, def+3, to back-up battle pet, was Air, refreshed

I guess it makes the most sense to count based on stats, not NP, for comparison points. So Pickles would be at +3 stats (air to water)?

Quest 1: Light (1489 NP) -> Fire (earned 950 NP from thrift shoppe) 300 NP, +3 str (savings = 49872.33)
Quest 2: Battle 1249 NP, +3 HP, +3 str, +3 def
Quest 3: Air (790 NP) -> Soup 189 NP, +2 str, +2 level (savings = 191,534.33)
Quest 4: Dark 720 NP, +3 HP
Quest 5: Air (1045 NP) -> Fyora 5 NP, +2 level, +5 str, +5 HP (savings = 573,840) :o

Total Spent: 1,513 NP, +13 str, +11 HP, +3 def, +4 level
Savings from Cookie: 815,246.67 NP (+17 stats)

(Cost of training: 47,733.33/stat or 143,200/3 stats) - assuming it hasn't changed since my penultimate cookie

Quest 4: HP and defense are both a little lower than str, and I always want HP to be the highest so I can overtrain it more easily before bumping codestone requirements. I don't want to give up a good quest for an air or light quest.

Quest 5: Wow, I hit the jackpot! This is definitely the best I've ever done with this boon.

Wow, Siniri! That is flat-out amazing. Woot! Congrats on this super-boon round!

2: Earth, had the item, mov+3, to back-up battle pet, was Earth, refreshed
3: Water, 1,888nps, def+3, to back-up battle pet, was Air, refreshed
4: Soup, had the item, str+2, lvl+2, was Fire, refreshed
5: Battle, 245nps, hp+3, str+3, def+3, was Fire, refreshed

Well, days 4 and 5 were good for my battle pet, at least. I need to start training again. I think her level is so high right now that she could get another almost 100 HPs without training level. However, as she's got more HPs than she knows what to do with, I'm totally not motivated.

I decided to chance the grey faerie. At least I got strength and not movement, but oof. That last quest more than doubled my total for the week! (It was at 1624 NP for 34 stats after day 6, which is insane!) Even after doubling that total, though, my average per stat for the week is still less than 90 NP. This has been a great cookie already, whatever happens the next three days. And I think the best boon of any kind I've ever had. (I'm currently averaging 5.3 stats/quest.)

Edit: Good thing, too. I've had to cancel a lot of training sessions this week because they were too expensive. Today's = double zeds. Nope, no way.

Edit: keeping all the stats on the cookie here. Glad for water on day 8, even if it was a little spendy, because def is lagging a bit after last week. Day 9: wish I could have refreshed. Ah, well. I got good stats from my earth quests on my last few cookies, so I was due for a dud. At least it was only 440 NP. Day 10: finishing with a bang. Woot! Most expensive quest, but still less than 500 NP/stat.

Agreed! And you won the Cartog round with two big wins - 5k and 10k!

Thieves, Seekers, or Sway this time around. I'm leaning towards Sway myself, just for using cookies, but I'll go with the bandwagon.
