@Secre Indeed! Thundersticks are basically like a Moehog Skull, an insanely rare Haunted scratchcard prize. That's cool you did well enough in the AC to get some if you wanted. You could and sell them for a profit to help your war effort. Though I don't think they'd be very useful IN battle, unless you needed a freezer, if they are only good once per battle, then you attack and freeze and then they are gone for the rest of the fight.
I didn't do nearly well enough in the AC to get anything cool. I tried looking for the stamps after the AC was over, and for a full set, one of each, I was quoted a price of 120 mil! I hate greed/inflation. >_< That's much more than most of the older stamps cost and those past AC prize shops have long since closed. I'm not shelling out 120 mil for 3 lousy stamps. It's just frustrating though.
Ooof, that's a better set than mine! More expensive too. lol I've been saving so much and so long for a Skarls Sword that I've pretty much neglected my own set. I have a Bag of Healing Dust which I traded and shelled out some Pure for many years ago. Short Sleeved Yellow Tunic (Heals 75HP) no longer met my healing needs, and Peophins don't have a species healer. That and the G-bomb were my largest buys for my set that I can recall, and G-bomb is my only HT item.
Like you, I'm not very good (at all) at Restocking. I've had 2 or 3 decent successes over the almost 2 decades I've been playing. One brought in just under 800k, the other, I haven;t sold because it MIGHT be USEFUL the next battle plot. I'm glad I'll get the chance to try it. It's the Combo Battle Mirror. Light is pretty easy to reflect thanks to the Expert Lens, that does 50% reflection without breaking, but the Combo Battle Mirror IS an r99. So it counts as a decent success. Though it isn't very valuable compared to some others.
Yeah, Cove weapons are rare and they really should FIX it. Last time I looked a SuAP was about the same, 80-90 mil. I was TEMPTED to try and trade for one then, kinda kicking myself now. lol But, I keep saving for Skarls Sword. lol I make NP so slow, the NP grows MOSS before I get it into the bank! lol
That's ok, I'm fairly confident in my intermediate-range set. Plus my Str and Def stats are maxed. My HP is decent too at this point So if there is a collective boss battle at the end of this new plot, I should be able to do more damage than during the Obelisk War. Which was when I got into the red stone training range.
Speaking of Training, that's good you've got a nice amount of red stones, that will be a good start to your Ninja training when you get to the red stone range!
And CONGRATS on a couple successful KQ training sessions! I just remembered, you can only do 10 site quests per Neopian Day. So you can complete 10 Kitchen Quests per day. The other quests I can recall that count toward that 10-count completion would include Quests for Edna and the Snow Faerie. I'm not sure about Esophager quests though. Probably, so you might want to save 2 if you like to do the Brain Tree's daily quest. At midnight NST the counter resets and you can start doing those on-site quests again. I'm sorry I didn't mention that sooner, it's been awhile since I did 10 quests so I only just remembered. lol
Cool! Yeah, it's crazy how fast your speed/movement will increase! Especially with the 3 stat points for normal random faerie quests, vs the 2 stat points they used to yield.
Regarding the faerie in question. MY guess is that it's the Grey Faerie, Baelia. (I hope I'm spelling her name right). When I read the post you copied and pasted, that was who I thought of who has an unresolved plight. Further speculation, but it would be something, is she turned out to be a reformed incarnation of The Darkest Faerie. lol NOT LIKELY! LOL But it would be interesting at least!
Anyway, it sounds like an interesting plot they've got in store for us. I'm looking forward to it! Though not to the waiting about 6 months or so! LOL
If you have any other battle/set questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with everything!
