Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 3]

[Siniri]

Well, I'm joining the Sway because I want to try the black market boon.

[Pickles]

LOL, now we have to pick who to go with. I've evened both the Sway and Order opponents out (last time), so that doesn't help to decide.
However, the last *two* times we've gone with the Order, we've lost. I'm kinda leery about going with them, especially since the odds of me being able to fight well enough in 2 weeks are declining quite drastically, and I wouldn't mind even just the bank boon again, as it's easy and I have no idea if I'm going to have a lot of time for the others, especially the Refresh Quest - I've decided to hold onto my last 2 cookies for a while now, just so I don't end up wasting any part of one.

I guess it's the Sway for me.

[Blue]

Sorry, Jacob, but I have to go with the majority... Sway it is for me, too.

Will it be again the BW4, Daze?


By the way, the Thieves Guild is still the best.
I shall be a Thief infiltrating the Sway. Siggie stays for now

[Daze]

Thanks for the info on the Awakened boons, Pickles! I hadn't realised that they were random. That made the decision a 2-way fight. But I will go with the majority as well. Go BW4!!

Almost missed the signup, but I am here!! Yay!

Good luck to us all!

[Pickles]

Looking at evening out my stats, I just realized that I've fought the Sway boss almost twice as many times as any other boss. Guess it's a good thing I joined Sway - I really don't need to fight them for a while.

I did my non-boss evening up for Awakened, and brought the two bosses up to be equal. Might do another 50 on each boss tomorrow, if I feel up to it. If not, I've still put in a decent number of battles for this round, even if it's not worth as much as straight boss battling is.

Sorry, Jacob, but I have to go with the majority... Sway it is for me, too.

you shall regret this choice...maybe...

[Pickles]

Managed to get in some more on the bosses today, but that's going to be it for me this time around. Got too much else to do this weekend. Nestingnestingnesting...

[Siniri]

I got no battling in yesterday (not even my dailies), and I'm just doing my regular dailies now, so today's not looking good for skirmishing, either. The good news is I now have the WiFi password for my church, and since I'll be there for ~3 hours between Sunday School and Confirmation class (not worth going home)... hopefully I'll get enough wins to help persuade the Oracle to give us some boons.

[Daze]

I got in 90 mighty wins on the easiest opponents.

I am in no hurry this time around to get the avatars/site themes, real life must come first. Thanks to you all for at least putting in some wins, as something is better than nothing.

ETA: Sway won!

Go BW4!!

Refreshed Quest Boon for me. I have 300 NC (starter NC and 150 from Expellibox), so I am using a FQCookie.

[Siniri]

I was up until 3am doing homework for my online classes (and battling), so I went with Black Market boon. I forewent a bit of interest to have cash on hand and chose my boon at exactly midnight with two shops open in neighboring tabs: Chocolate and Mystical Surroundings. Nothing in Chocolate, but I managed a Broken Stained Glass Window foreground in MS, so the boon has gotten its money worth (vs. bank bribery or the stock market one, my two defaults). I'll keep trying in Chocolate and MS (and maybe the post office? Daze, is there a guide for which shops carry BMGs? I think you've used this one before), but I'm not going to spend too much time on it.

[Blue]

I put no thought into my boon this time, and went with the stock market boon again. Perhaps I should have thought a little more and tried the Black Market boon. Ah well, maybe next time.

[Pickles]

Woot! At least I feel like I did what I could this time - 450+ wins (even if they weren't all on the "big" boss). If I'm able to battle as much as I did this time in 2 weeks, I'm going to be a very unhappy camper in real life.

I went with the bank interest boon. <chants to self: "I will not restock on codestones until this boon is done, I will not restock on codestones until this boon is done, I will not...">

[Daze]

I'll keep trying in Chocolate and MS (and maybe the post office? Daze, is there a guide for which shops carry BMGs? I think you've used this one before), but I'm not going to spend too much time on it.

I couldn't find one last time, but I did start making a list:

Mystical Surroundings:
Broken Stained Glass Window Background
Dreamy Pink Hearts Background
Exploring Kreludor Background
Idyllic Nature Scene
Outside Desert Arms Background

Magical Bookshop:
Faerie Chombies

Other shops:
Chocolate Shop
Collectable Shells
Collectable Coins
Post Office

These 2 are unconfirmed by me, but I have seen them mentioned on the boards.
Plushie Palace
Pharmacy

There may be others, but I didn't get to check them all out. Basically any shop that has empty spots left after it 'fully' restocks is a BMGs shop. This is due to the fact that the goods continue to stock when there is no boon being used and the items are invisible to us. Once the boon is activated, you can than see any R85+ items that may have restocked during the downtime.


If you have a lot of time, the background shop seems to be the best place.

It looks like I might be snowed/iced in for the next 2-3 days, so I might suddenly have a lot of time on my hands. Thanks for the info!

I'd really love that chocolate avvie, but I'm too impatient for restocking.

[Daze]

Good luck Siniri. I tried for hours at a time for the chocolate avi and not once did I see an avatar item.

My Refreshed Quest Boon paid off straight away, as I had a Crafting Faerie Quest waiting for me, so I refreshed it. Then I could use my cookie and get another quest.

I have realised that I probably don't really need this boon, as I need all stat points raised, but at least it gives me a chance to keep the stats even if I start getting to many of one particular quest.
