Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 11]

[Blue]

New Split! The prior split is here

In case you are curious, this originally started as a plot... here

Shockingly, the prize shop is still open!

(and I still have 219k points to spend)

Mabye I will spend them some day. But, not today.

This week... Awakened, Sway or Brutes... Who shall it be?

Edit a while later:

I'm ready to start scratching the cards I got from the boons, so here are the results (it's going to take me 8 days to scratch them all):

I'll be recording the results individually, with an X for no prize, to ensure I keep track.... And while I was typing this, the kiosk closed for an hour. *Sigh*

Scratchcard Boon Tally Week 1:
Spent: ~27k (~45 cards -- I forgot to buy 2 once)
RtR 24: 25k, 15k x4, 10k, plushie = 95k+ plushie (3958 NP/card gross, 3358 NP/card net, 7/24 cards won)
TT 17: X x14, 25k, Ice JubJub Snowball x2, White Quiggle Plushie = 25k + plushie + snowballs (1471 NP/card gross, 871 net, 3/17 cards won)
FF 4: X x3, Snow in a Cup (1.3k), (325 NP/card gross, -275 NP/card net, 1/4 cards won)
Winnings total: 116.3k
Net: ~89.3k

Scratchcard Boon Tally Week 2:
Spent: 32.4k (54 cards)
RtR 37: 130k + 1 set of snowballs
TT 11: X x10, 15k (1364 NP/card gross, 764 NP/card net, 1/11 cards won)
FF 6: X x6 (0 NP/card gross, -600 NP/card net, 0/6 cards won)
Winnings total: 145k
Net: 112.6k

If you can buy 3-4x/day, the scratchcard boon isn't terrible -- in line with the wheel boon, but a lot less work. And that's without getting lucky with the rarer cards (which I've always felt win less often than RtR because there are more different prizes, so it's harder to match 3). The upside if you manage to snag a free level can be worth a lot, especially the more expensive training is for your battler.

Going to track the rest of my rarer cards here, just to get a better sense of the true probabilities from them. How many days before I get a level?

RtR: 61 cards, 225k + snowballs (free) + plushie (free)
TT: 30 cards, 40k + Ice JubJub Snowball x2 (free) + White Quiggle Plushie (free)
FF: 10 cards, Snow in a Cup (1.3k)

Scratchcard boon hasn't been all that helpful for me. Probably because I decided to try for the Deserted Fairground Scratchcards instead of Ice Caves. Note to self: being able to buy every 2 hours does not mean you'll be getting more chances at better cards. Ah, well. Good to know for next time!

Scratchcards did not help me at all last week. Mostly because I didn't buy any.

Who do we like for this week? Should we roll a 3-sided die*?

*the "roll the die" feature on the forum broke a long time ago. I am not currently planning to fix it.

ETA:
Where does the time go? We already have a choice to make... Awakened, Order & Seekers.

[Pickles]

It seems that everyone is clamoring for Order, so that's the route I'm going. It's gonna be a tough win, though, so put in extra battles if you can!

Joined!

Hopefully I can battle. I've not really been managing to get even my most basic dailies in most days. Frustrating.

[Blue]

Joined! Woo hoo! Bandwagon ho!

[Siniri]

Don't forget to get your battles in!!! If Order wins, Blue and I can finally use that double bubble boon.

Another thing to track... (Yes, I'm still planning to continue scratching cards and tracking results, but not until my health stabilizes because I don't want to mess up the results by misrecording something).
