Pickles - I will send you a cookie.

Also - The 50NC has already found its way back into my balance without needing to submit a ticket

D'awww. You didn't have to, but thanks! But I haven't done a cookie in ages, so if we win, I just might, for grins. Hopefully this weekend, I won't forget to battle. I'll try to get a decent number in tomorrow to make sure I don't.

I'm glad the 50NC reappeared. I wonder if they had an issue and automatically corrected it? Possible...

ETA: I've gotten in at least some battles this afternoon (more than the minimum). Hoping to get in more, but we'll see. Today is not going how I expected it to.

ETA2: Order won! Woot! I went with the FQR so I can use the FQFC that Blue sent me. Might as well while there's a chance.

[Blue]

Woo-hoo! I think I will do the same. Time to crack open a cookie!

Day 1: Air Faerie - Green Eye Shadow!... Refresh - Dark - Medium Sling Gun (380NP) - +3 HP
Day 2: Soup - Small Neggnog Smoothie (No refresh)... (340NP) - MyPet gained 2 defense points and 2 hit points!
Day 3: Earth - Tears of the Water Faerie (this struck me as very weird...) -> Refresh... Soup - Large Rasmelon Smoothie (1,050NP) - MyPet gained 2 strength points and 2 hit points!
Day 4: Earth - Tears of the Water Faerie (Deja Vu!) -> Refresh... Soup - Large Fancy Tangerine Smoothie (2k) - MyPet gained 2 defense points and 2 hit points!
Day 5: Air - Golden Hair Brush.. Refresh... Soup! - Small Blueberry Tomato Smoothie (900NP) - MyPet gained 2 defense points and 2 hit points!
Day 6: Soup - Large Ice Creamy Jelly Smoothie (no refresh) (1.2k) - MyPet gained 2 strength points and 2 levels!
Day 7: Earth - Starlight Potion -> Refresh -> Dark - Symol Balloon (2k) - +3 HP

My Refreshes were generally excellent.

5 out of 6 quests have been Soup and the other Dark. By far the best boon result in a while!

Just to round this out. No refreshes, but still have cookie:

Day 8: Fyora! - Double Chicken Leg (1.9k) - level (+2) , strength (+5) , and health (+5) have increased -- a lot!
Day 9: Fire - Wellington Boots (2.4k) - +3 Strength

The strength boosts were definitely appreciated. Need to get up to a consistent one round wallop in the BD vs. a typical two round battle.

[Pickles]

Oh, I suppose I should track quests, too.

Day 1: Air (Techo Toothpaste) -> Earth (Fire Jug) -> def+3 (to backup battle pet)
----Blue, you definitely had a better refresh than me!
Day 2: Dark (Yellow Paper Airplane) -> hp+3 to battle pet
Day 3: Grey (Mallard) -> Fyora (Hand Wheels of Moltara) -> lvl+2, hp+5, str+5 to battle pet (wooot! only 2.6k, too!)
Day 4: Water (Grarrl Power) -> Light (Ryshiki) -> lvl+2 to battle pet
Day 5: Soup (Small Spirulina Smoothie) -> def+2 hp+2 to battle pet
Day 6: Air (Meerca Toy Surprise Soap) -> Grey (Puppyblew) -> (water) def+3 to battle pet (Sigh. I hate grey faeries. Should've had my backup battle pet active.)
Day 7: Grey (Puppyblew) -> Fire (Eyrie Sweater) -> str+3 (to backup battle pet). Would've liked something else for my battle pet, but at least I knew who to give it to instead of potentially wasting it on the wrong pet!

Still have more 3 more quests I can get off this, because I opened my cookie late enough in the day that as long as I'm paying attention on Wednesday, I should be able to get one before the timer runs out.

Day 8: Soup (Large Wild Chocomato Smoothie) -> mov+2 hp+2 to battle pet
Day 9: Earth (Nova) -> mov+3 to backup battle pet
Day 10: Light (Plesio) -> lvl+2 to battle pet (And with that, I can actually start a training for endurance for the first time in over a week! I've been getting more HPs from kitchen quests than usual, and level hasn't kept up, and I refuse spend codestones to train level. Yes. I'm weird that way. But kitchen quests usually keep my level much higher than my HPs can train to, so....it's been unusual to have her caught up and stay caught up, much less ahead on HPs. Okay enough randomness there.)

I went with the carto boon. Unfortunately, my cat decided to walk across my phone while I was at the first fork and helpfully selected the wrong direction for me! She's lucky she's so cute.

Edit:
Day 2: 1992
Day 3: 774 (from what I can remember from a while ago... Pretty sure the first two digits are correct)
Day 4: 517
Day 5: 1014
Day 6: forgot to look, but it was between 1k and 2k (based on my NP on hand before and after).
Day 7: 1802

Not even calculating a total.

Edit: Got to the caves today and was waiting for the hints, then realized it's Monday. Managed to win 562 NP with my usual route!

Awakened, Seekers, Thieves

So....I'm going Awakened. Why? Thieves won just a couple rounds ago (when I forgot to battle). Seekers seem too organized/bookish for me right now. My brain and life is all over the place, therefor I feel really random, so I'm going to go with the randomness that is the boons of Awakened.

Also, they have cake. And since we still haven't had a chance to make Christmas cookies, cake sounds good.

[Blue]

Random is good. Besides, I do not want to battle against those creepy twins...

Awakened it is!

[Siniri]

Joined Awakened.

[Pickles]

Almost forgot to battle. This weekend has been mad. I missed doing non-quest/AC dailies TWICE. The only reason I even know that is because I don't have any lab results for those days in my spreadsheet. Sigh.
But...I got in a fair amount, so here's hoping for a win and at least one decent boon?

[Siniri]

Woohoo! Decent boons... I went with bank bribery because it's automatic, and interest is one of my dailies I get done no matter what.

[Pickles]

Wow, really good boons this time for Awakened! Wahoo! I also went with bank bribery. Before I collected interest!

[Blue]

Wow, really good boons this time for Awakened! Wahoo! I also went with bank bribery. After I collected interest!

[Pickles]

Brutes, Thieves, Seekers.

My preference would be not Brutes, just because their boons are...not the best.

[Siniri]

Don't forget to get your battles in!

[Pickles]

I did actually get some in on Thursday for a change. Haven't had time since then, but at least I made a start? Maybe I'll get in some more today.

[Blue]

Thanks. I have actually completed more battles than usual
