Opened 12:03am my time Day 1: grey --> water, 1.8k, +3 superfluous def (guess I should have kept the grey) Day 2: light, 3.6k, +2 level Day 3: light, 1.4k, +2 level Day 4: grey --> Fyora!, 4.7k, +2 level, +5 str, +5 HP Day 5: water --> water (same item even! it definitely refreshed though), 1.3k, +3 def Day 6: soup (guaranteed chance at level or HP vs. having a significant chance at the other 3 stats I don't need? Going with the guarantee), 1.9k, +2 level, +2 str Day 7: light, 2.7k, +2 level Day 8: light, 2.1k, +2 level Day 9: Fyora, 50 (yes, just FIFTY NP for all those amazing stats!), +2 level, +5 str, +5 HP Day 10: movement, 3.1k, +3 movement
Net stats: +14 levels +10 HP +6 def +12 str +3 mov
Boon effects: None (grey to water, water to water) +7 needed stats (grey to Fyora)
Net savings: 35 red codestones (1,195,845 NP) Average price of red codestones: 34,167 NP
Holy moly. Between the codestone inflation and my training level, that Fyora quest alone makes the several times I had no effect from this boon worth it! Will definitely keep choosing it when it's available (at least until I run out of cookies)!
Oh, and +24 helpful stats this round? Well worth the full cookie price -- and I got mine at a discount! Speaking of, check each weekend this month to see if they go on sale again -- we might also get more NC and/or a discount for the anniversary. (Check the most popular items section of the mall each weekend to see what's half off. I'm assuming the FQFCs will be one of the items at some point given past experiences.)
I need 424 more stats to hit the max red codestone training. (At which point I'll look into using my potions and neggs -- or maybe selling them to stock up on reds.) Theoretically that's about 200 days away, factoring in training bonuses, lab ray, and using other fortune cookies. But my training has slowed way down because those reds are so expensive, and it's hard to compete with the bots in the shops. And I'm still burnt out. Meh. I'm getting in a training every other day or so. And this cookie helped make up for some of the ones I skipped. I wish I could remember to train at the same time as taking my meds, but the meds are more important, and the two habits aren't stacking like I'd like.
Edit: new cookie! Opened "Sat. 11/29" at 1:13am EST
Day 1: Soup, 1.5k, +2 HP, +2 def Day 2: Soup. "free" (SDB), +2 HP, +2 def (yay! I figured it doesn't matter which end of the cookie falls during not-boon time, and I wouldn't have refreshed either of these. Of course, if my faction ends up losing, I might have some regrets about later quests.) Day 3: soup (I have the boon now, but why refresh away good stats?), 816 NP, +2 HP, +2 mov (snagged 2 in the smoothie shop, and they're going for more than 3x that on the SW! extra is going in my SDB for the next time she asks for one) Day 4: grey --> earth, 777 NP, +3 def (well, that was a wash) Day 5: earth --> fire, SDB (free from SHS), +3 str (another wash) Day 6: fire --> fire (same item even... Come on, that's the second time this has happened!), 1k. +3 str Day 7: Fyora herself! 4.5k (very few available on SW... after several empty refreshes, I started to worry it was unbuyable, and then the rest were 25k+), +2 level, +5 HP, +5 str Day 8: grey --> soup, 1.9k, +2 HP, +2 mov (and the boon paid off, finally!)
Net stat changes: +13 HP +2 level +7 def +11 str +4 mov
Red codestones saved: 15 x 5 = 75 Average price of red codestones: 34,167 NP Total savings: 2,562,525 NP
Time savings: 15 x 0.5 days = 7.5 days
Boon savings: 2 HP = 10 reds = 341,670 NP
Blue graffitied on my signature... But it made me laugh, so it's all good!
