Neopets Gloats and Cries [Split 1]

[Chivewarrior]

Won a Gold Brightvale Job Coupon off the Wheel of Knowledge, which translated into around 250K profit on just the first few jobs.

I accidentally left my Habitarium open in an extra tab when I left for MLK Service Day today. Came back to find it ~75% filled with purple gems (after collecting them all and refreshing, it was 50% full again, and then 25% full). So glad that I didn't get locked out due to Flash crashing, and that with the updates in Flash and Firefox, it didn't heat up my brand new (solid state) hard drive, since it was open in a secondary tab. So this is a near-cry-turned-gloat (hello, NP!).

Seeing over 300k in your Shop Till is a nice thing to find after only 24 hours after your last login. But then there's the repricing n' restocking to follow. Not online enough to make this viable it would seem. *sigh*

"A book entitled The Founder" (no seriously, that's really the name of the book) from the Symol Hole. First time I've ever won anything there not on Symol Day.

Found a Pirate Krawk Morphing Potion at the forgotten shore today, man I love that place!

Finally found the right time for the Magma Pool yesterday!

I've return to hound the Auction House for codestones. How many people am I making happy?

[Daze]

Finally got my battlepet to 1500HP, bringing his HSD to 3350.

Got a Mystery Island Paint Brush from the battledome......

wow.

Congrats!

Who was your opponent? My battle pet will become an Island Mynci once I stop zapping her to help with training. I've been hoping to win one from the BD eventually...

I've made nearly 1M NP in the past day selling all the regular codestones I'd stockpiled from the 'dome, KQ, and dailies since I stopped needing them. I could probably make even more if I kept raising my prices as the inflation gets worse, but the prices I'm charging are on par with the highest I was ever willing to pay myself, and I don't need to fleece people any worse than that.

I just discovered that I have 124k points left in The Faeries' Ruin prize shop

Who was your opponent?

I was facing the lava ghoul on hard toughness.

Oh, yay! TNT fixed the drops in Pango Palladium. The good news: more gallery items, yay!

The bad news: I have to expand my gallery at least once or twice to hold them all. At nearly 70k/5 slots, that's a good chunk of dough.

ETA: I just bought a scratchcard at the Kiosk -- and it was an Icetravaganza. Last time I bought one, I was able to sell it in my shop. The going price on the TP today seems to be 140k (probably because of the current jackpot, which I noticed was well over 800k a few days ago).

Hmph. Never seen that one before. Never.

New:

The plushie remains ever silent, but as you leave you notice 2,999 Neopoints on the ground. Perhaps it was good luck or...

That's the highest I've ever received from the plushie!

Thanks to selling all my regular codestones over the past 2 days (making over 1M), I'm nearly back to the amount of NP I had before I bought my bag of healing dust, which is even more awesome because I also bought Kelpbeard's Trident without having fully recovered, bringing my NP to the lowest they'd been... since probably 2006, maybe even earlier. And yet I recovered them all in just a few months, thanks mostly to stocks and selling war-related items, without really working that hard.
