HW Plot Part: Sophie's Lab

[psyco_chick32]

Okay, I've tried to read through all of the older posts, I really have.

The combine button tells me that the composite is not found! What am I doing wrong, does anybody know?

Edit: Never mind, figured it out
*headdesk*

Having bronchitis is not making this easy.

You have to click on the composite you want to combine the ingredient with to select it before you hit the combine button.

Thanks. I clicked back to the page and suddenly wondered why I had a red arrow.

Gosh, I hate this math stuff. Math is EVIL, I tell you.

wow that site gives me hope as I got the conjur/enchantment combo

[Squidling]

Nooo

I had both composites 5 away from what they needed to be and it gave me the bubbling black cauldron.....back to the drawing board

[Redsrevenge]

Whee! Part Two done! Thank goodness it worked.. I think I woulda jumped off a bridge if I'd had to do that over again

Now for part 3...or at least as much of part 3 as we know how to doXD

[Sylence]

I was close on my last try on part 3 I had it to 80/75 closer then I dared hope for so now am doing it again with that page that was posted. to be only +2 off frmo the one number drives me bonkers lol

I have a feeling there is something we are totally missing for the Spectral Essence. It is listed as comp #1 which makes me think we should be able to do it. I don't think that it is something that we are waiting to be released (which is a big theory over on the neoboards).

I can't believe that we still don't know what Spectral Essence is...I'd have thought it'd be figured out by morning...oh well.

-SQUEEEEEEEEEE-

the page was right

Miscellaneous Composition
Quantity: 12 grams
Conjuring: +81
Divination: unimportant
Enchantment: +83
Power: unimportant

You successfully added an ingredient to this composite.

and I needed an 80 80 -/+3

now to figure out this evil essence stuff!

[Purple_monkfish]

right then... now to await enlightenment on the specteral essense... gah.

Actually.. this wasn't too hard... it was just time consuming. In the later stages you get minuses as well as pluses, so be aware of that. I found the best way to work it out was to get each ingredient and work out what went up and what went down if I did each thing to it for 30 seconds.. for instance: Bumroot - Burn for 30 seconds - which attributes changed?
I did this for each ingredient and compiled a list... then I just had to look at which techniques increased the attribute I needed. I had to do a little adjusting at the end. My averages were too high for one and too low for the other, but fortunately one of the techniques increased one and decreased the other so I managed to level them out.

Be aware also, that some ingredients will only increase to a certain level in an attribute regardless of what you do to it. My Leafy wouldn't go beyond 24 in divination regardless of what I subjected it to. If this happens, just increase one of the other ingredients that will still increase to balance it out. Work out the average on a piece of paper to avoid too many problems and ta dah!

I think my scores for the 3rd stage were:
Div: Bumroot: 76 Leafy: 90 Pulp: 24 Loam: 133 Average = 80.75
Pow: Bumroot: 38 Leafy: 45 Pulp: 94 Loam: 142 Average = 79.75

Totals needed: Div = 81 +/- 3 (thus 80.75 works)
Pow = 78 +/- 3 (79.75 works! Whooo)

It took me a while... a lot of shuffling of numbers and fine adjustment. Just be patient and prepared to spend a long time fine tuning.

I had to restart my second stage second batch... I got to a point where the ingredients i'd selected weren't increasing enough to bring the average up. Eugh. So yeah...

I think if we really couldn't progress any further we'd see the "to be continued" button. It just looks we haven't found out what to do yet.

Looked up the word Spectral in Merriam-Webster and it said this:

Main Entry: spec·tral
Pronunciation: 'spek-tr&l
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, or suggesting a specter : GHOSTLY
2 : of, relating to, or made by a spectrum


For those of you who don't know a spectrum is, there are many, but this one would seem as though it would be related perhaps to this:

1 a : a continuum of color formed when a beam of white light is dispersed (as by passage through a prism) so that its component wavelengths are arranged in order b : any of various continua that resemble a color spectrum in consisting of an ordered arrangement by a particular characteristic (as frequency or energy)

My guess is that Spectral Essence will, for sure, be from a ghostly being, possibly the Spirit of Slumber, and it may have a variety of colors (that second part is just me playing semantics)...that's what I'm thinking...I could be wrong, but I'm just throwing that out there.

*waits impatiently as her totals go up slowwwwwly... *

I'm getting there on my level 2 (Just woke up).. But it's oh-so-slow.. *sigh*

Wish It would go faster. I have two more ingredients to get up in amounts..

Maybe we have to visit a Ghost Neopet's page...does anyone know who has a ghost neopet?
