Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 7]

[Pickles]

EDIT: I just restocked a bit in the smoothie shop. I was able to buy several, and then the shop suddenly cleared out, just like magic did. I guess this is the new random "clearing out the old junk," but magic was empty every time I checked after that. (I wasn't shop-banned either time; I double-checked.) Anyway, thanks for the tip, P! You inspired me to try again, and I got quite a few more smoothies than I did magic items.

I think this might be the shop-ban(?), because I had it happen a LOT, and frequently right after a bunch of new smoothies had stocked. I tried several other shops, and they were all empty. Didn't seem to last long, and frequently happened in the middle of a haggle. It seemed to depend on how many smoothies I'd already bought/haggled for. So either they need to work on timing for the "clearing out" (because right after a fresh restock doesn't make sense), or they're doing a ton of mini-bans. Not sure which. That's really what slowed down me being able to get one of each, because it seemed like every time the last couple I needed would finally stock, I'd be mid-haggle and get banned/etc.


Day 2: In the chest you find: 1769 NP!

2nd day: RRR - In the chest you find: 572 NP!

[Siniri]

In the chest you find: 1441 NP!

I checked other shops, and they had items, but the shop I was trying to buy from was still empty. Maybe you can get banned from a single shop? Anyway, I might try to restock a bit more tonight... I'm just restocking in the shops, making sure I buy below current SW prices, so I can have at least some of the items for each (won't try to get one of everything everywhere, because that would be insane...)

I did have another faerie-related RE while buying more smoothies (Psellia telling me how to pronounce her name -- the first was the soup faerie quest). I hope this faerie festival isn't just an increased chance of faerie-related events... (I'm sure it's not; my brain just does funny things sometimes...)

Edit: Just checked today's news. That Wraith Mynci looks... off. And I can't even tell what the other color is. But the clothes are cool. I guess the festival might start next week?

Day 3, RRR - In the chest you find: 2064 NP!

[Siniri]

In the chest you find: 10000 NP!

Wow, the chest has been much nicer than usual so far. I hope it continues this way...

[Pickles]

Day 3: In the chest you find: 2275 NP!

This won't technically be the "Faerie Festival" (if it happens), as that's in the fall. I'm starting to wonder if they're actually going to hold the Faerie quest event, though. Of course, now that we've prepped and bought items, watch them skip it this year...
If they do, at least it won't be excruciatingly painful like it was last year. I recall it taking upwards of 10 minutes for the quest page to show...

[Siniri]

In the chest you find: 2481 NP!

The chest continues to be generous (though today's I would have won anyway, since it was my "usual" route, RRL).

[Pickles]

Day 4: In the chest you find: 5000 NP!

Not too shabby so far.

[Blue]

Day 4: LRL... In the chest you find: 1538 NP!

[Daze]

I ended up taking the Refresh Quest boon.

Good luck with the Carto boon. Fingers crossed for finding the stamp.

[Blue]

LRR - Only 977 today.

[Pickles]

Day 5: In the chest you find: 1623 NP!

Bank boon is still better, but who knows? Still 2 days left...

[Siniri]

In the chest you find: 2175 NP!

Bank boon, wheel boon, stock boon... all better. Ah, well. Hopefully I won't be wishing I went with that refresh request boon...

Edit: In the chest you find: 1888 NP!

The chest continues to be very kind to me.

[Pickles]

In the chest you find: 5000 NP!

Twice this week. Not too shabby. Not the stamp, but still...for it could be the <1k rewards. So far, not a bad week for this particular boon.

[Blue]

LLL - In the chest you find: 1934 NP!

I really wish I went with the refresh quest boon this week. The chest has not been kind this week. The only good thing is that I have been able to find it every day
