Step 8?!

[Aastra]

I found mention of it on the boards, it seems to be a puzzle step.

http://www.neopets.com/faerieland/tfr/

[Mr. Sirius]

It's called the Plain of Peace. I'm doing both the Battledome and this at the same time, but it's hard.

[Wembly]

Oh snap. Two steps at once. Crazy! But exciting.

[Rae]

I get side tracked easily. I'm hoping the steps won't be terribly difficult.

[persephoniekali]

well with 1,000,000 choices that might be difficult!

[Wembly]

Does anyone know how to do this? I was trying to help out with the barrier but it didn't really explain it and my teams failed twice already. And I just clicked on the spell book. Oh my there are so many pages! :woot:

[Hanz]

I know that the suppression part of the community step is really easy, because all you have to do is set up shields wherever the energy spikes are pointing.

 

Edit: The best way for decoding the spells is to click the three symbols that show up the least on the page.

[Sakeru_Kyori]

wow two steps...interesting. No go for the battledome one for me but the other one I should be able to do. Good luck people.

[Mr. Sirius]

Woohoo! I figured out stabilization.

 

The color of the orb = The color of the spell.

The size of the orb= The volume of the spell.

The brightness of the orb = The brightness of the spell.

[Sakeru_Kyori]

Woohoo! I figured out stabilization.

 

The color of the orb = The color of the spell.

The size of the orb= The volume of the spell.

The brightness of the orb = The brightness of the spell.

Great...now to figure out the rest of the stuff.

[Mr. Sirius]

I'll have screenshots up on my petpage shortly.

This just looks like a bunch of symbols and numbers to me. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do... SO confused, D:

The way it's explained on Neopets, has confused me even more, ):

[Wembly]

I'll have screenshots up on my petpage shortly.

Alleluia! Thank you so much for the scree shots. For the life of me I couldn't get the powder without the pictures, fail on my part!

[arliona]

I was supposed to work tonight! Oh, well... If anybody needs me, I'm doing the containment step!

[Karashata]

I must admit, the only parts to this puzzle step that I really can do well are the suppression and the stabilization. I have no idea exactly what effects the spells have on the containment part and the guidance part seems a little chancy for me. I do hope this step doesn't take forever though, every time I've done it so far it's always blown up on me and the other people working with me.

[arliona]

Has anyone counted how many index symbols there are? I've got 19 so far.

[Mr. Sirius]

I just figured out Suppression, and it's pretty simple. Wherever the spikes are on the orb, you put a barrier in that direction.

does anyone else find it really annoying when somebody looks like they can do their job, but ultimately fail? i wish i could choose who my partners were...

 

Stabilization:

use mr. sirius's guide: http://www.neopets.com/~AirforceShadow

 

containment:

you want the core parts to be at 50, so depending on their percentage, you use the first 4 pairs of hands to increase, or the last 2 pairs to decrease. The lowest increasers have the most stength, and the bottom decreasers have the most strength

 

guidance:

use evildarkriku's guide

 

I think I've got the guiding down, you mostly just need to kick it at full strength and use the arms to guide it if there's an arrow pointing directly right or left.

Just be careful not to go over 8 points (eg: strong = 3, medium = 2, weak =1)

This usually moves it 13m at a time for me

 

I've got a screenshot example, but I don't actually know how to make a petpage so I can send a link...

 

or this guide: http://www.neopets.com/~jennagirl94

 

suppress:

look where the spikes are pointing and put shields where they will end up. sometimes, u only have one shield. choose the person that is most important, like the person whose job is most likely to fail, and block them.

 

 

deeds:

 

errand spelling: complete one spell and one barrier reinforcement

 

 

a great overall guide to use: http://www.jellyneo.net/index.php?go=faeries_ruin&id=step07_ritual

[Mr. Sirius]

I think darkriku is wrong. I'm consistently doing well with 3x Medium and 1x Strong.

[arliona]

... And the servers just exploded from every one making the cores break! :woot:

[savamal]

Lol I was fighting a Minion with the wrong pet and there is that red pteri...

 

Hope I can still win with my lab rat pet instead of my spoilt one XD

 

LOOOOL Even the pteri page is glitchy since there are empty spaces in the games collection XD

[maldoror122]

LOL.

 

So predictable :(

 

Hope they can get things running again soon :S

[savamal]

I think we are so noob with the orb...

 

Xandra wasn't protected at all, wasn't casting the spell and the next one wasn't found XD

 

I guess Faerieland will crash on Neopia's surface if we go on like this. Winner: EVIL SIDE lol

[Moon Otter]

I think we killed Neopets o.o

*uses Phoenix Down on Neo* Sometimes I wonder if those collective steps aren't just database stress tests disguised as entertainment...
