Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 10]

[Siniri]

I actually went with the bank boon instead. I just don't have the mental energy to try to remember to do a FQ every day on top of the plot, or fret that I wasted "real money" equivalent because I fell asleep before finishing dailies.

[Pickles]

I also went with the bank boon, as trying to do anything more than collecting interest was way too much for this last week.

[Siniri]

New skirmish with no chance at the quest refresh boon. Sigh. I guess TNT wants crazy inflation.

[Pickles]

Honestly, I think it's an automated system and TNT had no control over it at this point. But no quest refresh stinks.

Bigger guild went Brutes. Smaller guild went Seekers.

[Siniri]

I joined the Brutes. The wheel boon isn't terrible. Now if only my pet would heal at the springs so I can battle...

[Blue]

Brutes it is. Go bandwagon!

ETA: Brutes it wasn't... I did not battle this weekend.

[Siniri]

Aww. Brutes won. I went with the wheel boon and have already won 20k+ today (not really keeping track, just kind of eyeballing my on hand NP). Mostly mediocrity wins. I spent most of my NP on codestones, and I've already gotten another 7k net from 3 more sets of spins. I'm going to need a stock to hit 60+ to actually keep me in reds, though.

Edit: wasn't keeping track, but it was a good week. I even got a red codestone from Monotony and the WoE avatar (not sure if I already had it though).

New factions arriving in just a few hours... And it's Awakened, Seekers, or Thieves!

Edit: I joined Awakened this week.

[Pickles]

Awakened won! Whew! Went with the Refresh quest boon...I'll use my last FQFC for it. Tally ho!

[Blue]

New Week, new challengers:
Brute Squad, The Sway, Seekers

[Pickles]

Look like both guilds went Sway this week, so Sway it is for me!

[Blue]

Hooray! Sway away today!

[Siniri]

Phew. Barely remembered to check in. But I joined Sway in time! Hopefully I remember to battle. Haven't had time since one day during the last skirmish.

Edit: don't forget to get your battles in! Finished mine.

[Blue]

Managed to get in a bunch this weekend!

[Siniri]

Woohoo! Sway won! With how expensive red codestones have been, and not having time/energy to battle most days, I went with the quest boon again. It gave me two levels last time, which is 10 reds. At current prices, that's 340k+ in savings from the boon! And other than getting no benefit, that's pretty much the cheapest the boon is worth at this point. That's way more than the bank boon's value at just over 150k for the week. When you throw in the time savings, quest refresh will be my choice when available (unless maybe I decide to try the potion boon for levels).

Honestly, the time savings of not feeling like I have to buy codestones every day and train twice a day is worth more to me right now than the training time savings. I got burnt out a bit again from the last segment of plot. So much for TNT balancing things, because those stats potions are too valuable for me not to do the volunteer shifts. Same for the increased NP and items from battling (especially more rapid battling because of the waves).

P.S. I have an alarm set to remember to open a cookie before bedtime.

[Blue]

Woohoo! I also went with the RQR Boon. I'll open a cookie later, too... if i remember. Setting an alarm is a great idea. *set alarm*
