Lost Desert Plot Discussion #33 (Split- Summary in 1st Post)

[Jetro]

Congrats on the 7th pile of sand. Everyone has been tossing around ideas about agility, ect. When did everyone complete their tablet? It would seem to me that may be the key to how long it takes us to scurry back. (Credit to whoever's idea this was).

I completed my tablet over two weekends ago. I don't know how long to gather sand yet. I am waiting, it has been 45 minutes... not that I am watching the clock.

I brought that idea up that it might be time it took you to complete the tablet.. but who knows how they're doing it. hopefully someone will figure it out.

Edit:
10 minutes for pile number 9.. im curious what happens when i get to 10. (probably nothing)..

::ponders:: is it possible to sleep an entire night in 50 minute intervals? ::hmms::

JasEdit: Do not double post. If you were the last to post and you want to add more, please use the "edit" button in the top right of each of your posts. Thank you.

If this info means anything to those keeping track, here's mine. I haven't taken note to the times before but I already have picked up 2 handfuls of sand. I just waited and refreshed here and there till I saw the picture of the pyramid repository again.

Last dig: 7:18 NST
Allowed to dig again: 9:05 NST
My oldest pet which I always use is 1302 days old
Agility level is 58


EDIT:

I was thinking, maybe we are supposed to keep digging and this just gives us something to do to keep us busy till more plot stuff comes out. It would be neat if over the course of the next few days, we see more and more of the repository on the Lost Desert map which would be near the foot prints. If this is what happens, I would only hope we get rewards for every handful we have in our inventory.

Still waiting to get the third handful >.<

Might as well post the stats of the pet I'm using
Sasha_2
Move: 31
Age: 1994 days

Archer girl... how long does it take you. Our pets are pretty similar.

[Huggles]

Great. I've tried all of the phrases now and none of them work. >_<

It takes over 2 hours for me

[Kryse]

I'm pretty sure you are caught up in every other part of the plot, correct? And you are 100% that your statue is SAF and you have read the SAF scroll last right?
If you done all of these things then I'm not sure what you should do. Good Luck.

edit: now that I cant find it I'm not sure if you said that you thought it was saf, but I'm pretty sure thats what you said.

*waits for his second handful* My pet is uber-slow...

Mood : miserable
Hunger : fine
Strength : EXCELLENT (56)
Defence : GREAT (36)
Move : GREAT (31)
Intelligence : total genius (56)

You are sure that the "saf" is the symbol *ON* your statue ... not the symbol that is above the door you go in?

[abandonedcouch]

this doesn't really help with the current goings on of the plot, but i assume it's been mentioned that the descriptions of the different scrolls tell which library door they'll be behind in the tomb, right?

i only mention this because I went to the wrong library and now i have to wait 123498347 hours before i can understand my #%$% ra scroll. and if it hasn't been mentioned then i can kill time by typing out an explanation.

[skizzy the wonder lizard]

i'm almost positive that the wait is based on agility. i'm guessing it's in blocks: from 0-30 or something, it's 3 hours, 30-whatever, 2 hours, and so forth. the longest wait time seems to be 3 hours (my wait time, by the way) and the shortest appears to be half an hour.

my pet's agility is a mere 22. i only have one pet.

The first post lists which scroll is in which library.

The libraries should have these scrolls:

river - Fer, Djo, Tep, Kar
maze - Ben, Lat, Saf, Nem
astral - Ra, Set, Ahn, Kha

[Flipsyde]

Go into the library and read it again. Then try. I read my scroll already and the proper phrase wasn't a selection. I then went to the library again, read my scroll.... in my case, its the one that looks like the anubis eye. TEP. Since that is what is on my statue. Then when I was able to pick what to say to the guards, I saw the proper selection there. And of course you know what you are to select, according to your statue symbol by going to the first page/first post of this thread and near the bottom of the post, it'll tell which.

Hopefully this all helps you.

[oogabooga]

I'm not sure how long I had to wait, but it was a couple hours. I first took my lab pet, who has 24 agility, but in the middle of the wait I switched to another pet with agility 80... I would assume, if it is actually based on agility, that it would go from the pet that was active when you picked up the sand - but I don't know that for sure.

Yeah, I realized that after the fact. I just wondered if that was from people comparing notes or if anyone had gotten the connection between the scroll descriptions and the doors the scrolls are behind.

arrr, here be what i mean:

astral-
set - Here you might find a hunter or cup [orion and the little dipper]
kha - Here you can see suns far away [obvious]
ahn - Here you can navigate by points of light [using stars to guide ships]
ra - here you can look ages into the past [see things light years away]

maze-
ben - Here you cannot tell one path from the next
nem - Here you might never be heard from again
lat - Here you could be terribly lost
saf - Here you could wander with no end in sight
all those are obvious.

river-
djo - Here you might weather a deadly flood
tep - Here you could sail from lake to sea
kar - Here you can take a cool drink
fer - Here you will find rushing rapids
as are those.

actually, now that i've typed all this out, i remember someone touching on it previously. pffft, never mind. at least now i only have 11.5 hours until i'm let into the temple again.

just humor me and be like "very nice kelli, you're so smart, etc."
