Day 9: Battle, Islandberry Tea (300!), defence, strength, and health have increased

Boon...
+3 HP vs. +3 Defense
Air -> Soup
Fire -> Soup

I still hold to that I would not have opened this cookie without the boon. So, the boon gets partial credit regardless if the refresh helped or not...

@ Siniri - I feel the same way about this boon. It is a huge time and cost saver overall. It doesn't hurt that I used all of the 25th anniversary free NC and the bonus NC mall discount on a grip of cookies

Opened 12:03am my time
Day 1: grey --> water, 1.8k, +3 superfluous def (guess I should have kept the grey)
Day 2: light, 3.6k, +2 level
Day 3: light, 1.4k, +2 level
Day 4: grey --> Fyora!, 4.7k, +2 level, +5 str, +5 HP
Day 5: water --> water (same item even! it definitely refreshed though), 1.3k, +3 def
Day 6: soup (guaranteed chance at level or HP vs. having a significant chance at the other 3 stats I don't need? Going with the guarantee), 1.9k, +2 level, +2 str
Day 7: light, 2.7k, +2 level
Day 8: light, 2.1k, +2 level
Day 9: Fyora, 50 (yes, just FIFTY NP for all those amazing stats!), +2 level, +5 str, +5 HP
Day 10: movement, 3.1k, +3 movement

Net stats:
+14 levels
+10 HP
+6 def
+12 str
+3 mov

Boon effects:
None (grey to water, water to water)
+7 needed stats (grey to Fyora)

Net savings: 35 red codestones (1,195,845 NP)
Average price of red codestones: 34,167 NP

Holy moly. Between the codestone inflation and my training level, that Fyora quest alone makes the several times I had no effect from this boon worth it! Will definitely keep choosing it when it's available (at least until I run out of cookies)!

Oh, and +24 helpful stats this round? Well worth the full cookie price -- and I got mine at a discount! Speaking of, check each weekend this month to see if they go on sale again -- we might also get more NC and/or a discount for the anniversary. (Check the most popular items section of the mall each weekend to see what's half off. I'm assuming the FQFCs will be one of the items at some point given past experiences.)

I need 424 more stats to hit the max red codestone training. (At which point I'll look into using my potions and neggs -- or maybe selling them to stock up on reds.) Theoretically that's about 200 days away, factoring in training bonuses, lab ray, and using other fortune cookies. But my training has slowed way down because those reds are so expensive, and it's hard to compete with the bots in the shops. And I'm still burnt out. Meh. I'm getting in a training every other day or so. And this cookie helped make up for some of the ones I skipped. I wish I could remember to train at the same time as taking my meds, but the meds are more important, and the two habits aren't stacking like I'd like.

Edit: new cookie! Opened "Sat. 11/29" at 1:13am EST

Day 1: Soup, 1.5k, +2 HP, +2 def
Day 2: Soup. "free" (SDB), +2 HP, +2 def (yay! I figured it doesn't matter which end of the cookie falls during not-boon time, and I wouldn't have refreshed either of these. Of course, if my faction ends up losing, I might have some regrets about later quests.)
Day 3: soup (I have the boon now, but why refresh away good stats?), 816 NP, +2 HP, +2 mov (snagged 2 in the smoothie shop, and they're going for more than 3x that on the SW! extra is going in my SDB for the next time she asks for one)
Day 4: grey --> earth, 777 NP, +3 def (well, that was a wash)
Day 5: earth --> fire, SDB (free from SHS), +3 str (another wash)
Day 6: fire --> fire (same item even... Come on, that's the second time this has happened!), 1k. +3 str
Day 7: Fyora herself! 4.5k (very few available on SW... after several empty refreshes, I started to worry it was unbuyable, and then the rest were 25k+), +2 level, +5 HP, +5 str
Day 8: grey --> soup, 1.9k, +2 HP, +2 mov (and the boon paid off, finally!)
Day 9: earth -> earth (but cheaper item), free (48 in SDB), +3 mov
Day 10: earth, 900 NP, +3 def (couldn't refresh)

Net stat changes:

Was waffling between doing a cookie and the Faerie Caverns, but got a RE faerie quest this morning, so....RFQ it is. With commentary, because...why not?

Bonus quest: Fire (Torn Fire Gym Socks) -> Earth (Stream of Light) -> +3Str to ...the wrong pet. Oops. (Wow, off to a great start... )
Day 1: Water (The Eye of the Quiggle) -> Air (Chokato Lotion) -> +3 Mov to back-up battle pet (That didn't get much better )
Day 2: Water (Breakfast Treats) -> Fire (Jubjub Warrior Cape) -> +3 Str to back-up battle pet
Day 3: Air (Peophin Fragrant Soap) -> Soup (Large Peachberry Smoothie) -> +2 HP +2 Def to battle pet Finally! A good refresh!
Day 4: Grey (Angelpuss) -> Soup (Mega Cabpru Smoothie) -> +2 HP +2 Def to battle pet Feels a bit familiar, but I'm not complaining!
Day 5: Earth (Lime Elixir) -> Grey (Hopso) -> Earth +3 Def to battle pet Really? I mean, REALLY?! Sigh.
Day 6: Light (Princess Fernypoo) -> +2 Lvl to battle pet
Day 7: Light (Guardian of Fire Magic) -> +2 Lvl to battle pet So I appreciate the levels, really, but I'm certain that my next three days, I'll wish I could've refreshed...
------
Day 8: Dark (Split Paper Yo-Yo) -> +3 HP to battle pet woot, I was wrong!
Day 9: Air (Blue Eyrie Hair Brush) -> +3 Mov to back-up battle pet And there's the ick quest.
Day 10: Battle (Barbarian Tuskaninny Boots) -> +3 HP +3 Str +3 Def to battle pet At least I ended on a good note?

10 HP and 4 levels. Not the best cookie I've ever had, but not the worst, either.

Ending the cookie just 325 levels + HP away from max red training (and then weeks of scratching stockpiled cards + an Order win away from using my volunteer shift potions). In 10 days, I had the equivalent of 40 trainings: 43% from the cookie, about the same from training (maybe 1-2 fewer -- I definitely missed double training at least 3 times I can remember), and the other 14-20% from training bonuses (at least 3) and the lab.

And I just remembered that I have a ton of tan codestones stashed away. I should sell them to help pay for the reds I need. It would be nice to have an actual stockpile again, but it feels like there are bots running amok in the shops lately, and it drives me crazy trying to compete with them. I should just stock up on one or two each day and pay a bit more to have longer between dealing with the bots. A stockpile of 10 of each is only about a week's supply.

Edit: I've been selling those tan codestones, and I finally have a small stockpile of reds. Since I'm using ten a day, it's hard to get ahead, but at least I'm holding steady. I still have 160+ of each tan, so this should last me a while.



Edit: feeling human again, so opened another cookie on Neopets 12/21 at 2:12am my time
Day 1: earth, free, +3 str
Day 2: light, 3k, +2 level
Day 3: grey, 9k (tried to restock but got shop banned before the restock... And yet the bots can buy up stuff left and right... At least I got one of each of the quest items that were in stock), earth, checks stats... +3 def
Day 4: Battle, 40 NP, +3 HP, +3 str, +3 def
Day 5: air, 3.1k, +3 mov
Day 6: Earth, free (SDB), +3 str
Day 7: grey, free, earth, +3 mov
Day 8: earth, free, +3 mov (which the lab promptly took away)
Day 9: light, 1.6k, +2 levels
Day 10: water, Ruki the Explorer, +3 def

Net stat changes:
+3 HP
+4 level

Not nearly as good as the last cookie, but still awesome NP savings! Now only 288 level + HP away from max training tier. That's 37 in 12 days, and I missed at least a couple trainings (training alone would have gotten me 24 + a few bonuses). Cookies are definitely quicker than the lab. If I keep making the same progress, I should get there before Easter. Let's see if I remember to open another cookie tonight (assuming I can actually close out that final quest).



Edit: opened another cookie!
FQ cookie opened 1/1 Thursday 2:04am EST

Day 2: air, 1.5k, +3 mov
Day 3: dark, 2.5k, +3 HP
Day 4: fire, 2.8k, +3 str
Day 5: fountain faerie (already have a dip -- morphed my pet with "taller" in the name into the canonically tallest pet with the cheapest MP, pirate Eyrie, then zapped Halloween), free (found one in my SDB), now I still have a dip on deck to get him all the free clothes I want (is it terrible that I've decided his final color will be elderly to best match the rest of his name?)
Day 6: dark. 700NP, +3 HP (I'll take dark every single day and never complain)
Day 7: dark, 334 NP, +3 HP (woohoo!)
Day 8: grey, free (SDB), +3 str

Still twice as good as the last cookie, even missing the bonus quest. I'm exactly 250 levels + HP from 6 reds training. That's only ~7 cookies (75 days) away!
