Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

[Blue]

Woo Hoo! Thieves are the best! Stock boon for me as well.

So glad fort his boon! I checked my stocks after buying STFP and discovered AAVL at 60 (bought at 10)! Woot!

1: STFP @ 10
2: ACFI @ 10
3: SKEI @ 10
4: HELT @ 10
5: SKEI @ 10
6: TNPT @ 10
7: TNPT @ 10

[Siniri]

RTR x22: 55,000 NP + 3 snowballs (2 R95, 1 R90, worth ~11NP)
TT x6
FF x3
POP x1

Spent: 19,200
Net: 35,800 (buying 2.3 times/day, so just over half of the max possible... Plus the other cards are worth 3k*9 = 27k for TT and FF, plus 38k for POP, so 65k total if I sold them, or whatever prizes I could win from them if I scratch them)

Once TNT assigns levels gained to active pet I may scratch or sell the rest and add their value here. If I remember.

Still, assuming their SW value is commensurate with their actual value, that's ~100k net from a half-optimized boon, which beats the stock boon and faerie caverns boon (unless you get extraordinarily lucky) and is similar to the wheel boon (which takes more time to half-optimize). Obviously whether or not it beats the bank boon depends on your balance (for me right now, it's comparable, unless my math is off... If I remember correctly, it's a 20% increase in daily interest).

Edit: New week, new factions. Order, Seekers, Brutes.

[Pickles]

I actually bought a few FQFCs so I'm going Order. Wouldn't mind a bit of a boost to training. Getting closer to my next goal!

[Siniri]

The cookie helped me so much last time, I'm game for Order for the FQ boon, too. Codestones have really inflated in the past couple of weeks.

[Pickles]

I got in a chunk of battles this afternoon. Might try for some more tomorrow, but also might not.

ETA: Woohoo, we won! I will crack a cookie later tonight.

Day 1: Earth (Magic Vial) --> Grey (Puppyblew) -> Dark -> HP+3 to battle pet (that turned out better than it could have)
Day 2: Battle (Gnorbu Jockey Riding Pants & Boots) -> HP+3, Str+3, Def+3 to battle pet
Day 3: Water (I forgot to pay attention) --> Water (Cybunny Down) -> +3 Def to back-up battle pet
Day 4: Air (Peppermint Toothpaste) --> Soup (Large Cucumber Breezes Smoothie) -> +2HP +2Mov to battle pet
Day 5: Fire (Flower Purse) --> Battle (Brians Guide to Winning Gormball) -> HP+3, Str+3, Def+3 to battle pet
Day 6: Fire (Moehog Card King Sword) --> Soup (Small Blueberry Tomato Smoothie) -> +2HP +2Mov to battle pet
Day 7: Earth (Nanka Bottle) --> Light (Lady Osiri) -> +2Lvl to battle pet
------
Day 8: Grey (Spyder) -> Dark -> HP+3 to battle pet (woot, another good result from Grey!)
Day 9: Soup (Large Bean Smoothie) -> HP+2, Mov+2 to battle pet
Day 10: Soup (Small Asparrot Smoothie) -> +2HP, +2Def to battle pet

5 of 6 refreshes for stats that I wanted (HPs and Level), and the day I didn't refresh gave HPs. Definitely worth it! (+13HPs, +2Lvls)
Hopefully the remaining days will give good quests, too.

ETA: Those last three days were awesome, too. 20HP total from that cookie, woot! I might actually get to my next goal in HPs before the plot starts back up now!

I need a cookie, too. Will set an alarm now for 11pm to crack it open.

Edit:
Day 1: dark (no refresh), 853 NP, +3 HP
Day 2: grey (hmm... I have the item in my SDB and it's under 1k, and there's a chance for a really good stat boost... to refresh or not? *fingers crossed* *gives the item*), light, +2 level (could be worse... it's a stat I need, but could also have been better. Meh. Better than refreshing and getting movement, like kept happening with my last cookie)
Day 3: Fyora herself! 9700 NP, +2 level, +5 strength, +5 HP
Day 4: light 1055, decided to refresh if it's not in my SDB --> Earth (of course!), 300 NP, +3 movement.
Day 5: soup, 573 NP, +2 defence, +2 HP
Day 6: battle, 5 NP (but I had 8 in my SDB), +3 HP, +3 defence, +3 strength,
Day 7: Fyora again, 1k, +2 level, +5 strength, +5 HP
Day 8: Soup again, 999 NP, +2 level, +2 strength
Day 9: light, 4242 NP (found in the shop and saved about 1.7k... might have considered refreshing if I still could, but level is nice, and it's still a deal), +2 level
Day 10: grey, 581 NP (bought in shop), rainbow fountain faerie (which I think I might have already had one in queue, can't remember... I really need to morph Rosie to Kiko so I can paint her, but I was really hoping at least one Kiko MP would be given out somewhere to make it cheaper...)

Cookie results:
+10 level
+18 HP
+15 strength
+5 defence
+3 movement

Boon results:
Used: once
Net effect:
-2 level
+3 movement
+755 NP (worth way less than the two levels, of course)

Only used the boon once for a loss, but I got four special faeries without it, and maybe I could have gotten another special faerie had I refreshed the other two days. Then again, I could have lost out on the HP and levels I did need. I'm not sure this boon is for me. And I think I'll keep using cookies even without it to make up for me training on average only once a day lately.

Day 10:

[Pickles]

Thieves, Brutes, Sway.

[Siniri]

I'm going to go ahead and join Sway for the bank boon. (And they also have the quest boon and the stock boon, so something for everyone), whereas Thieves only has the scratchcard boon and Brutes the wheel boon, which seem to be less popular among us. I just don't want to forget to join a faction, and I figure if I'm going to make an executive decision, I should base it on my best guess that will make us all the happiest. Bandwagon ho?

[Pickles]

Sway sounds good. I'm torn between possibly using another FQFC and the bank boon on it, but if we win, I'll make that decision then.

[Blue]

Ho, ho Bandwagon Ho! Sway away.

*wanders off to sign up with Sway*

[Pickles]

Got some battling in today. Don't know what things will look like for the next few days, so wanted to get a decent amount in while I could. With so many people wanting Sway, this has a high potential for an upset, so I'm trying to do a little more than usual.

[Siniri]

Sway won. I'm debating between the quest refresh boon and the bank boon. The bank boon is almost certainly going to be worth the most in terms of strictly NP value, but the quest boon could save me time...

If I actually use it. And if it gives me a better quest, unlike the last two times I've gotten it and replaced a useful stat for movement.

I'm just not sure it's actually worth it compared to the bank boon. The cookies are already giving me plenty of stats.

[Blue]

I am torn between Bank Boon, Quest Refresh & stocks. I feel like i need a really easy week this week, so going for the bank boon.

Although, I like getting soup and/or battle as the refreshed quest. Too lazy to go look back and see. er... just needed to scroll up the page... Looks like I got 1 Soup and 1 Battle during the refreshes. That is worth it!

But, then again, I want a super easy week. Bank boon it is.

[Pickles]

Bank boon would probably have been easier and made me more nps...but I collected interested automatically and planned on using a cookie with this anyways. I'm getting close to my next training goal, and refreshes might help me get there a lot faster! Will open the cookie later tonight.

Day 1: Air (Jetsam Toothbrush) --> Faerie Queen (Darigan Buzz Plushie) -> +2 Lvl +5HP +5Str to battle pet (off to a great start!)
Day 2: Grey (Spyder) --> Grey (Hopso) ->Fountain ->Fountain dip (which is convenient, as I used my stored one recently)
Day 3: Dark (Swinging Chair) -> +3HP to battle pet
Day 4: Light (Haiki-Lu) -> +2 Lvl to battle pet
+Bonus quest (Random Event during dailies): Earth Faerie (Steam Jug)--> Soup (Large Asparrot Smoothie) ->+2 Str +2 Lvl to battle pet
Day 5: Fire (Jubjub Warrior Cape) --> Earth (Magic Vial) -> +3Mov to back-up battle pet
Day 6: Dark (Vanishing Dubloon) -> +3HP to battle bet
Day 7: Earth (Nova) --> Soup (Large Peachberry Smoothie) -> +2HPs +2 Def to battle pet
--------
Day 8: Light (Spectral Elemental) -> +2Lvl to battle pet
Day 9: Grey (Warf) -> Earth -> +3 Def to battle pet (not necessary, but oh well)
Day 10: Faerie Queen (Custard Mysteries) -> +2Lvl +5HPs +5Str to battle pet

4 of 5 refreshes used gave good results! +13HPs +6Lvls (2 Lvl were from the RE quest) +Fountain Faerie dip from the first week. Definitely can't complain on this one. Definitely should be able to make it to my next training goal before the plot starts back up now.

Overall a good cookie.
