Battleground of the Obelisk (Was: Tyrannian Plot [Split 1])

[Pickles]

Hmmm... for a "mere" Discounted Price of 3,395,000 NP (on Discount day). Faerie Queen is correct, I could never afford any of these.

...you don't know what I paid for my healer. (for that matter, I still wince when I think about it. I might recover from it...someday. Hah!)

That being said, I still haven't spent my plot points. I need to do a spreadsheet (plot points to nps ratio) before I do, but I haven't had the time yet. Gonna be tough to collect 'em all, though, for sure!

I'm a "poor" Neopian. I currently live comfortably enough on my interest and dailies. Draining my account would cramp my style.

I suppose I could sell off some of the 13,499 items currently rotting in my SDB, but that would take time and effort that I do not have right now. Then again, I could just sell my one copy of 1,001 Yooyuball Tips for 3 mil However, I would imagine its a HTS item.

Yeah. I've sold off stuff I felt like I could part with before (most of my p/b collection, for one)...but to be honest, my SDB kinda scares me...

Anyways, for this time around, I joined the Order. Kinda on a whim. What team is everyone else joining?

[Siniri]

I joined the Order again, because I think they're going to win. Still mildly kicking myself over missing out on the Thieves avatar last time. Now that it's clear this is just for the avvies, there's no point in being loyal. Unless you think your faction will win. Some people are worried about the freeloaders hurting the Order as the big favorites, but that didn't hurt the thieves last time, and the cut-off hasn't been drilled down precisely yet.

[Daze]

Order for me again. Third time lucky (I hope!)

[Blue]

Jumped on the bandwagon and joined the Order.

The Magic Is Strong In You.

Splendid, we could use some new blood around here. You'd better be trained, though. We won't waste time; there's an obelisk waiting.

Order won! *clap*

Yay! Order wins! Two-time winner

I wonder if the Refreshed Quest Request includes the Fountain Faerie.

[Daze]

Congrats Blue.

Yes, the Refresh Quest allows for FFQ as well.

[Siniri]

Does it allow for Delina, though? That one would be worth it if I had a cookie (I just discovered they were only 100 NC, which is exactly what I have, last night thanks to Zil, but alas, they're sold out), but since I don't and often go weeks without a quest... *sigh* The only other one not completely worthless is the Faerie Caves one, which is worth only ~10-30% of what the stock market one was worth (the Caves are relatively expensive, and I most often win less than 1k there -- sometimes I win between 1-2k, only rarely over 2k, and only once ~5k).

I haven't picked a boon yet; I'm still hoping I can get a cookie somehow, which will make the FQ one the best choice (unless my luck is as terrible as it was for the festival... but on average, you should be able to get ~2 extra useful stats in a week). But I only have one free gift box left for an exchange, and I'm not sure I want to waste it on a cookie -- if I even have anything to trade.

[Pickles]

Woot! 2 down, 4 to go (for avvies and site themes).

The FQFC's restock frequently. Just keep trying back. Also, you can get 8 quests out of it if you activate it late in the day - it's literally a 7 day timer, but you can get a new one every calendar day...so if you activate and do your first quest late in the day (say, today), next Monday morning (before the timer runs out), you can get your 8th quest.

Yes, it allows for Delina. The FQFC's don't give out Delina quests, but you CAN get them if you refresh using the boon. I'm guessing the Chinese trick would work, though?

I went ahead and took the Cartogriphication boon. I'm avoiding using FQFC's right now until the item prices drop some.

Thanks Daze. I am really leaning towards Refreshed Quest Request just to get a Fountain Faerie Quest so I can turn my Poogle Pink This does mean I also need to buy a cookie with my last 100NC. This will also end that pet's zapping days, which has already been on hold since getting zapped to a Blue Poogle.

This will be a much better route than buying a Pink Paint Brush for 3 Mil.


Urg. Just realized my pet is the wrong gender, and I won't be using the lab ray to fix it, lest my pet change species... Looks like a Lab Ray Scientist battle is imminent.

Edit 1:

Lab Ray Scientist has just changed you from Male to Female!!!

Edit 2:
There are Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies available in the NC Mall right now, and I just snagged one. I'll be choosing the Refreshed Quest Request Boon later tonight.

[Siniri]

Thanks, Pickles! There were 26 left, so I snagged one. I know the Chinese thing works because the NC Mall is not supported in China, but since the refresh part is independent of the using-the-NC-cookie-to-get-the-quest part, it should work. I think. At least I'm going to try. Now I need to figure out how to use both the quest cookie and the boon. *trots off to read*

Prices had already dropped a bit by Friday, and they were still cheaper than training, usually. I suppose if I get one that's too rich for my blood, I can use my boon. And risk getting an air faerie again...

ETA: Figured it out. For your efforts, PET's strength has increased! Just a cheap Mynci t-shirt, so I didn't see a reason to refresh. I forgot to switch to Chinese, but the refresh button is pretty clear, so it shouldn't be an issue.

[Pickles]

Glad you were both able to snag some! You'll hafta let us know how well they work out!


...now, to wonder which teams will be available next time. I'm hoping to manage to get all of the avvies sooner as opposed to later, sho hopefully I'll be lucky with which team I jump on next?

[Blue]

Hmm.. Opened my FQ Cookie and received an Earth Faerie quest. Used my Refreshed Quest Request boon... and received an Earth Faerie quest. Meh.

At least I received +strength from it
