Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

[Siniri]

I chose the right faction! Went with the wheel boon. I've already spun 2x because neighbors didn't stop fireworks until nearly 4am. So far I'm up 900 NP.

[Blue]

Yay Siniri! Boo neighbors.

I also picked the right faction and went with the wheel boon. Not sure why. I rarely spin the wheels anymore. But, since the introduction of the Quest Log, I have them all bookmarked so maybe I'll spin them more this week?

[Siniri]

I didn't track every day, but I had two days with over 20k each, 13k today, 7k yesterday (when I first touched Neopets after six p.m.), and a couple of other days in the 7-15k range. So at least 60k+ just from those 5 days.

(The other days, I didn't track how much extra I got from daily quests, so I couldn't be sure how much was from the wheels vs. that, but I deposited over 60k one of those days, and Trudy gave me less than I spent on stocks that day.)

Thieves, Order, or Awakened for the next round. Let's go!

[Blue]

I am up for any of the three. Usual caveat about Awakened being creepy.

I mostly spun the WOE a few times last week, but did not bother to keep track. Most of the time, despite the Air Faerie being very excited for my "win", a few times were zapped pets or awarded NP that were either break even or less than the cost to spin. Overall a negative boon for me this time. I have noticed that spinning the wheel(s) on my phone is much faster than spinning on Firefox installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 clone (Rock Pi 4SE) running Ubuntu 20.04.

[Pickles]

Well, since I got my SS bonus prizes and one of them was a FQFC, I've signed up for Order. Refreshing daily free quests is useful.

[Siniri]

Order sounds alright to me. Joining.

Blue, bummer on the wheel boon not working for you. Wheel of Mediocrity has an average payout of over 400 NP net/spin, which is over 4x what you spend. Wheel of Excitement's average is only ~230-250 NP net, which is only ~1.4-1.5x what you spend. Considering you can spin WoMed 3x as often, too, it's a much better deal. You'll increase your NP even if you just put all the items in your SDB (and it gives a decent amount of CC high rarity items as a bonus).

[Blue]

I could use some order in my life... I will go with the Bandwagon. Go Thie... Order!

[Pickles]

Got a fair amount of battling done this afternoon (well above the minimum). Will try to do more over the next couple of days.

Same here. Having both the GB and VB equipped has made a huge positive difference. Less clicks!

[Siniri]

Just remembering to battle now.

Order Wins!

I went with the Refreshed Quest Request. *cracks open a cookie*

Day 1: Grey - Buzzer (800np). For some reason, I completed Grey's quest. Reward granted by Water... +3 defense
Day 2: Dark - Green Mynci Puppet (853NP)... +3 HP
Day 3: Soup - Small Honey Lemon Smoothie (1.5k)... MyPet gained 2 strength points and 2 levels
Day 4: Air - Two in One Hair Care --Refresh-- Battle - Tonunishiki (3.5k)... +3 defence, +3 strength, and +3 health! Woot!
Day 5: Battle - Cosy Ruki Pyjamas (3k)... +3 defence, +3 strength, and +3 health! Woot x2!
Day 6: Fyora - Tyrannian Rock Salad (11k)... MyPet's level, strength, and health have increased -- a lot (+2level, +5str, +5HP) Woot x3!
Day 7: Dark - Starry Paper Yo-Yo (600NP) +3 HP
(Last day for refreshing!)
-----------------------------
Day 8: Grey - Warf (SDB)... Filled by Water... +3 defense... Warfs sure got expensive on the SW, eh?
Day 9: Dark - Courgette Ball (633)... +3HP
Day 10: Water - 101 Balloon Petpets (1.3k)... +3 defense

Overall, awesome boon this week

[Pickles]

Also went with FQR. Cracking the cookie from the bonus items!

Day 1: Air (SPF 15) --> Earth (Fire Jug) --> +3 Mov to backup battle pet. (Well, that was....kinda silly.)
Day 2: Grey (Puppyblew) --> Earth (Steam Jug) --> +3 Mov to backup battle pet. (Well, that was....also pretty silly. So far this refresh thing isn't working out so well.)
Day 3: Light (Grarrl Battlemaster) --> Battle (Popstar JubJub Dress) --> +3HP +3Str +3 Def to battle pet (probably shouldn't have refreshed, as level is technically useful, but I'm hoping for more battle, soup, or FQ quests, so...this time it worked out!)
Day 4: Water (Ruki the Explorer) --> Light (Gutan Kai) --> +2Lvl to battle pet
Day 5: Earth (Nova) --> Water (The Grumpy Acara) --> +3Def to backup battle pet
Day 6: Fire (Torn Fire Gym Socks) --> Dark (Meridell Tartan Yo-Yo) --> +3HP to battle pet
Day 7: Soup (Mega Carmelon Smoothie) --> +2Str +2Lvl to battle pet
(Last day for refreshing!)
-----------------------------
Post refreshing -
Day 8: Dark (Neocola Balloon) --> +3HP to battle pet
Day 9: Battle (Meridell Gardens Stamp) --> +3HP +3 Def +3 Str to battle pet (OMW this was a PROCESS to get this quest done with the lag!)
Day 10: Air (Pink Toothbrush) --> +3Mov to backup battle pet

Eh, reasonable boon. Would've liked more HP and less Mov, but...I'll take it.

I'm going spelunking!

Day 1: 2417 (2017 net)
Day 2: 1738 (1338 net)
Day 3: 2150 (1750 net)
Day 4: 589 (189 net)
Day 5: 828 (428 net) Can I have a stamp please? Or maybe just 10k?
Day 6: 25000 (24600 net) AND

Faerie Caverns Background,
which is not findable using the SW, and which JN says is worth 2M!

I would have been happy with just the NP!

Day 7: 1277
Total: 30,599+ net

That was an INCREDIBLY lucky win!! In fact, it's essentially the top prize:

0.1% chance to win 25k np
If you win 25knp:
10% chance to win Faerie Paint Brush
90% chance to randomly win one of Beautiful Glowing Wings / Faerie Caverns Background / Faerie Caverns Stamp / Patamoose

Congrats!!

[Blue]

Woah! Congrats, Siniri!!

(Yes, I know. Two exclamation points. LOL)
