Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 7]

[Blue]

Order Wins!

I went with Cartogriphication this time. It paid out ok last time with a 5k and a 10k win.

However, today was a meager 592 NP.

[Siniri]

Net or gross, Blue? Either way it's pretty pitiful. I went with the quest refresh boon because I've been working on Gráinne's HP again, and I still had a FQ cookie in my SDB from a sale a while back. Today's quest was a dark faerie one for ~900 NP, so I didn't bother refreshing.

[Blue]

It's gross. Disgusting, really

192 Net...

[Siniri]

That's why I'll only use that boon if there is no other I can possibly use.

Today's quest was Soup Faerie. I'm close enough to the next codestone range in HP now that I figured it's worth the chance to get HP, and hopefully I won't get level... Of course I got strength and level, a stat I don't need and the one I didn't want. Guess it's back to zapping until her HP reaches 1198... Maybe I'll get lucky and lose level there. And maybe I could try the Coincidence again, too -- I bet someone has actual statistics on it somewhere, so I'll see if it's actually profitable first.

[Blue]

Yeah. It is definitely not a bank boon. I didn't have a cookie and wasn't really interested in buying one right now. I am in the middle of kitchen renovations... (Link to rant)

[Siniri]

And... while I was SWing the Coincidence items (extra cheap now, yay!), I got a light faerie quest. Since the one stat I don't need is level, I refreshed and got... Light Faerie. Yay? I don't remember the first item, so for all I know, I just swapped a cheap card for a more expensive one (because though I always keep a SW tab open, I just happened to be using it, so I can't SW for this quest...).

I haven't gotten a Crafting Faerie quest (yet) at least... I've heard that the Chinese trick is still spotty because language setting is still glitchy as... well, as so much of Neopets still is over a year post-JS.

Edit: Still need an uggaroo. I'm heading to bed soon, but if you buy one for me (and post it here) and set up a trade, I'll reimburse you the full amount. Thanks.

Had an extra in my neodeck from all the times I donated. Sent it your way.

Thanks, Pickles! Now I can finish Coincidence, too.


Something floats past the windows. Running to look outside, you see a small, pretty amulet in the blackness of space.


A Grundo appears and invites you to join Dr Sloth's Invasion Army... but he cancels the invitation when you spell your name. Your reputation precedes you.

What, you didn't like that I spelled out S-N-A-R-K-I-E?

At least I didn't spend very many NP on it... I'll try again tomorrow.

ETA: New day. Grainne got movement from the lab. I lost 2 HP from coincidence, but fortunately I forgot to switch my active pet to Grainne, so it didn't come from her (poor Oisin, though! it's not like he had that many to begin with...).

Grey faerie. Strength. *sigh*

At least I did get 2 HP on Monday...

[Blue]

You're SNARKIE? Woahhh




11/18 - Cartogpharecation (sic): 1598 NP (Gross)

11/19 In the chest you find: 757 NP! (Gross)

Lousy boon this time around. The only good part is that I have actually found the treasure every day

[Siniri]

Today I got the dark faerie again... and forgot to change my active pet. At least Oisin's HP aren't stuck in the single digits? Yeah... I wouldn't have had him active if the stupid Movie Central were working properly. Sometimes (most of the time) it doesn't reset after 24 hours, so he's famished. Everyone else has been bloated at the springs. *sigh*

Oh, did I misspell my name above? I meant S-N-A-R-K-Y, but they're not good spellers, so they thought I was spelling SNARKIE. Oops.

Friday edit: +2 HP from the lab. cancelled Coincidence. Got a water faerie quest; don't really need defense, so I refreshed for earth. Couldn't SW because it got stuck in Chinese, but had the item in my SDB (I need to stock up again before the Faerie Festival). Finally got it off Chinese (I think), and I got... movement. Ugh. This refreshing thing has not been beneficial at all thus far.

[Blue]

Thanks for the clarification, SNARKY.

Another underwhelming day in the caverns: 2337 NP (Gross)

[Siniri]

I don't know, Blue. At least your net effects have been positive. I've used my boon twice, and gotten a net negative result thus far (haven't tracked NP cost of the various quests, but the stats far outweigh the cost of the items, anyway... and I lost out on defense -- which I will lose now that I have to zap -- for movement).

Can we just say no more Order again? At least for a while... unless they're against factions with even worse boons.

[Blue]

Yeah. No more Order... Total Anarchy!

[Siniri]

-2 HP from lab (what???? that's supposed to be impossible; I probably mistyped that...). cancelled coincidence. Grey faerie; didn't refresh. Got movement. Grarrr.

Sunday edit: lab +2 levels. Cancelled Coincidence. Light faerie quest (Grarrg). Refreshed after 5 minutes of changing language to Chinese. Changed to water (The Magic Paw). Finally a good refresh on the last day! Grainne now needs to lose 6 levels or gain 83 HP before I can train again (at least without overpaying...). *sigh* Maybe I'll get lucky in my next few faerie quests. And the lab should hopefully churn out the HP fairly quickly -- and maybe Grainne can finally stop being a Xweetok.

[Daze]

I chose the Cartogrification boon, first win was 10k, all others under 2k.

What no more Order?!?!?! Hmmm....we will see.

New Challengers:
Seekers, Thieves Guild, The Sway

Seekers has Bank Bribery and Book Smarts.
Sway has Bank Bribery, Black Market Goods, Cheaper by the Dozen and Refreshed Quest Request.
Thieves has Cheaper by the Dozen and Five-Finger Discount.

I am leaning towards the Sway, I really like using BMGoods.
