    Rune Valentine got a reaction from Lamppost in stats decrease   
    You can try playing Count Von Roo in Deadly Dice. The only other thing I can think of that will decrease your level is an item called Fake Von Roo Fangs (worth a few million, I think) and if it's used on you, it takes levels from your pet. I think your best bet right now is just to play Deadly Dice and lose to Von Roo.

    Rune Valentine got a reaction from Lamppost in Help! I can't buy a draik?   
    As for the auctions: You will get outbid if you bid on a cheap draik egg. It's called auction sniping, people will refresh the last few pages of the auction house and follow cheap but high value items like draik eggs, and bid at the last minute. You're better off finding a draik egg with a high increment, like starting price is 1 million, increment of 900,000. That way no one can snipe it because once you bid, their next bid will be higher than the market price, so they'd avoid it.
     
    But an easier option is just to NeoMail someone from the Trading Post with a draik egg that's asking for 1.9mil. Ask them to set up a high-increment (the one I described above) and NeoFriend only auction, and get them to add you as a NeoFriend, so you're pretty much guaranteed that it'll go to you. This is the "secret" you're talking about :P People advertise their items on the Trading Post, but wait for NeoMails to set up private auctions when they find a buyer for their items.

    Rune Valentine got a reaction from Emily in what to do with Yellow Luminous Cask   
    Um, just a reminder that those cask keys aren't going to be available in the NC Mall forever. So it's best to decide if you want the items or not now, and just discard them rather than having them lay around - they'll be of no use to you in the future, unless you put them in your gallery for display.

    Rune Valentine got a reaction from Lamppost in Inflation of Codestones   
    The challengers give out prizes like the BD normall would, randomly with a chance of codestones. I've gotten 4 so far today, which isn't too shabby. And it makes sense that with the plot, people who normally wouldn't battle are getting into the BD and earning codestones, which seems the likely reason for codestone prices significantly dropping.

    Rune Valentine reacted to hrtbrk in Battledome: Melida's Training Journey For Beginners!   
    Melida wanted to get ready for the upcoming plot. She needed help deciding on weapons and training, but she didn't know much about the Battledome, so she visited the Battlepedia and learned all she needed to!



    Melida is a blue Scorchio with the following stats:
    Level: 20 HP: 47 Strength: 50 Defense: 49 Movement: 25 To start, Melida realized she didn't really know how weapon icons translated into damage, so she checked out the Introduction to the Battledome, where she learned how damage and defense work. There, she learned that icons were multiplied by boosts, but she didn't know much about boosts, so she looked at the Strength & Defense Boosts guide.

    Looking at that guide, Melida learned that she was very close to a new strength boost, but she didn't know the best way to get there! So, she went to the Battlepedia's Fast Training Guide. Melida learned that she couldn't train until she increased her level to be at least half of her HP, so she wondered if there might be another way to train. She found the Other Methods of Training and Item Training guides.

    "Wow," Melida said to herself, "those are some expensive items! Item training might make sense for my friend Gorman, who keeps getting zapped by the lab ray and is nowhere near being able to train. But it would only cost me a few thousand NP to increase my level by training, so that's what I'll do! Once I do, I'll start training my strength and defense to get to the 55 boost. Plus, I'll keep working on Kitchen Quests and visiting Coltzans Shrine, and I'll probably be at a new boost in no time."

    Once she had a plan for training, Melida started wondering about weapons. She found two weapons in her SDB, but she didn't know what they did or how good they were, so she searched for them in the Battlepedia. To start, she looked up the Basic Rubber Axe. "Oh," she exclaimed, "3 icons! Is that a lot?" She looked again at the page and saw that someone had reviewed the weapon, and the average rating was 1/10. She realized, "That must not be very good. I hope my other weapons are better!"

    Melida looked up the other weapon she found, a Snowager Sword. "Oh boy!" she said excitedly. "That has a rating of 7/10! That might be good!" But Melida wasn't sure, and she didn't know what other weapons she should get. She spotted the Battlepedia's Basic Weapon Sets Guide. "Ooh, the Snowager Sword is a recommended weapon. I can probably stick with that," Melida decided. She still wasn't quite sure what to do about other weapons. "I don't have a lot of NP right now," Melida mused. "I guess I'd better stick with the Beginner weapons for now. But I'm definitely going to start saving for the weapons in the Intermediate set. As I get more NP, I can upgrade my weapons to the ones in the next highest set! In fact, I could probably afford some of the cheaper ones now - or at least after the deflation after the plot!"

    Armed with the knowledge that the Battlepedia could answer all of her Battledome-related questions, Melida felt confident that she could handle any battle plot that TNT threw at her!

    The collateral set for our high-ticket items are over market price, to prevent people from not returning them (we've had issues with this before) and since the Meowclops is the most expensive on the list, its collat is also highest off of the current market price.

    Rune Valentine reacted to Ali Cat in Collateral Changes   
    Hi all,
     
    Because of recent market price changes, many of our items have undergone collateral changes. Both big-ticket and smaller items were affected, but I will only mention the big-ticket ones here since they had the biggest change.
     
    Meowclops - Lowered to 13,000,000
    Zafara Double Agent Plushie - Lowered to 6,500,000
    Chokato (TCG) - Lowered to 3,000,000
     
    Both Faerie Queen Doll and Icy Snowflake, the remaining two big-ticket items, had no collat change. :) Be sure to check the collat for smaller items before requesting a lend since many of those underwent collateral changes as well!
     
    Hope everyone enjoys these lowered collats,
