hrtbrk Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Users who have some mists left to clear still have the opportunity to do so - but the solution is far more difficult than attempting to catch Tarla throughout the event. Mists can still be cleared by purchasing Tarla's Goodie Bags from Tarla's Shop of Mystery... but there's a catch! Not all bags will contain a mist! As long as you've cleared at least one mist while the event was on, you can work at clearing the remaining mists you have left. You will get the same prizes except for the background as you didn't finish in the alloted time. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yay! An oppertunity to get the however many mists left (I only got one). It was hard for me to catch her since most of the tim she was found, I was at school or away from the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 When I heard people talking about this possibly being the way, I laughed. I didn't seriously think TNT would do that to people. That will be soooo frustrating. Plus, the people clearing it that way, won't get the background. And the background was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLSLaYeR Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 yep ive seen the tarla board theres a lot of frustrated ppl on there and its costing a fair bit to get the mist from what i hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAmethyst Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Add my name to the list of VERY unhappy people...I lost count as to how many days I was unable to get the mist (my best - or is that worst? - stretch was 4 days)...it was hard enough to find Tarla, but then to not necessarily clear the mist each time?? *sigh* Now I wish I hadn't spent so much of my time searching... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyja Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That's decidedly sadistic. But a good way too. I hope people will be making some good accidental buys too : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 are the bags expensive usually? i never buy anything from tarla but u have quite a lot of mist to go yet :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 are the bags expensive usually? i never buy anything from tarla but u have quite a lot of mist to go yet :( It varies. They can go from 100np to a couple thousand. Usually the cheaper go first. But with everybody stalking her shop to get their mist, I bet it will be harder to get the cheaper ones. So it could end up being expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It was nice of TNT to make it possible for people who missed some to finish clearing their mist. I imagine that things will be very busy at Tarla's shop for a few weeks, much like when the Tarla avatar was first released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwerx Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm going to pass. I'm not going to go through all this if I'm not going to get a background, trophy, or avatar. And it seems that the reward for collecting all the mists is just one random "exclusive prize"? Is this true? -_- If it profits him, a man would sell his soul for the world. But for just one random item? An item that I'm just going to sell anyway? I'll pass. <_< On the bright side, Tarla's Tour of Mystery was fun while it lasted. Though I joined the hunt for Tarla pretty late into the game, it got me interested in Neopets again, and it brought me back to hanging out here at TDN regularly, so it wasn't all a big waste of time. :) EDIT: P.S.: I'm sure it was good for Neopets too. All the extra site visits, page-views, and ad revenue while we all scoured Neopia for Tarla! Bravo, TNT! Now take that ad revenue and give us more improvements! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viridian Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 This is just very stupid. I missed out on one mist, meaning I'll miss out on the background which I wanted. It's really rising in price right now. The mists are not worth the money, I don't think. TNT could have made the event a couple of days longer.

maxwerx Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I hope that Tarla's Tour of Mystery will return again next year. Sort of a pre-Altador-Cup tradition. I also imagine that a Site Theme could be an eventual reward. That would make the price of these random bags of mist skyrocket, but then they'd be worth it. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadedangel416 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I joined too late to get all the mists, so having an extra opportunity to get the last 5 I need was more than I expected.. but the shop restocks run out so fast, and the bags I find are so expensive. >.> I'm not going to waste thousands of neopoints, like someone above said, just for, in the end, one random item that I would resell. Though I would have loved to get the background. But hey, at least I got some extra np and some items to go towards packrat in the search. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 If it's any consolation, you actually win four wearables for completing it :) Tarlas Scarf, Shop of Mystery Grab Bag, Tour of Mystery Garland and Tour of Mystery Magnifying Glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadedangel416 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hm, really? Just the Tour of Mystery Garland alone sells for thousands, perhaps it might be worth trying a couple mystery bags... =/ Does anyone know how long they'll let us attempt to get the rest of the mists?

CAV of Gang Green Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 She's never in stock. But I don't get how you all say it's difficult. It sounds easier for me because Tarla was always found when I was in school. I had only gotten 1 mist because of when she was found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds easier for me because Tarla was always found when I was in school. I think it's considered harder because 1. a ton of people will be going for them, so it will be harder to get them. and 2. It will be like trying to get good items from her: you won't get a mist every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I wasn't really trying to get the background or all the mists. I was trying to get everything else. All the other items, obviously perferring the wearables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 She's never in stock. But I don't get how you all say it's difficult. lol You so funny, CAV :P As mentioned, it's more difficult because she's not at this location for 5 minutes at a time, the restock is there for seconds. Even if you do happen to catch a bag, there's no guarantee that a mist will be there. Plus, you have to spend NPs when before it was freeeee.

But I wasn't trying to be funny that time... 2. I know it was free and stuff, but looking at the history of when she was found 80% of the time it was when I was in school, and I couldn't go online. 3. I don't try to get a mist. I try to get the other items that I could've gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 1: It was a good contradiction. 2: You can only get the other items that you mist ;) by getting the mists. 3: Why are we talking like this? Are sentences out of style? :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I only have one mist left so I might buy the occasional Mystery Bag from Tarla's shop but since there's no trophy or avatar I'm not worried if I get the last mist or not. Good luck to those who are trying. I can definitely see how some are getting frustrated with the amount of nps they've had to spend. I spent close to 2,000np on a bag and all I got was a pile of dung which is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avat0r Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yay, I got the last mist today ^^ No background for me, but at least some more wearables ^^' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
