Avatars: What have you got?


Ian

Recommended Posts

A lot of the game ones are like impossible for me because most of them I'm not good at and the score for the game avatar is so high compared to the score i get in the game, but just gotta keep trying. For me Eliv Thade was pretty easy just time consuming and i used an anagram finder to unscramble the words.

 

I'm kind of an avatar addict now, thanks to my boyfriend. He has lots more than I do so I'm just trying to catch up. For the Obelisk war I'm still undecided for what faction to choose but I think I'm leaning more for the Brutes, seems to be the most popular vote right now.

Sounds like we are much alike as far as games then, thanks for mentioning the Eliv Thade game I will go and look at that to see if I might be able to batter away at it til I get another avatar.

 

As you say it is really addictive collecting them, I wouldnt have believed I would get into them so much as I was never really bothered in the past.

 

I am also trying to get the rubbish avatar but Im scared of discarding other stuff by accident so its taking me ages.

I try to focus on just a few of the game avatars at a time (only 2-3), and I try to pick a combination of frustrating ones and more fun ones. I also pretend like I'm not actually going for the avatar, just practicing for it, as nerves make me mess up when I get close. (I try to ignore the score in general). Right now I'm trying for Feed Florg, Ice Cream Machine, and Korbat's Lab (in anticipation of doing better on reset day). I knocked out some of the "easier" (to me) games already, things like Typing Terror (which took a while), the... Thieves' Guild game one (it's not too bad with a guide), and Eliv Thade (again, not terrible with an Eliv Thade word list). Oh, and the non-Flash games were mostly not bad.

For the rubbish avatar I started that after I got my SBD avatar and as I was clearing out my stuff I discarded so many things using the quick stock and I still haven't gotten it yet. So all I'm doing now is going through my dailies as usual and discarding most of the things I get from there because most are only worth 1-5 nps. I've been trying to get it for the past couple months but no luck.

 

siniri: I'll try and use your strategy and see if that will work for me. sometimes I just get frustrated with playing the game over and over again and not getting close to what the avatar score is :(

woohoo I just got the eliv thade avatar so thanks for telling me about the word helper ... that was what made ALL the difference woo hoo

 

Next I think I will be having a go at the slorg one but it doesnt look that easy despite people here who seem to have found it pretty simple

congrats!!

 

& me and my boyfriend did that at the same time and he got it on his first run through of the game and for me I took me a couple tries because I kept getting stuck at a certain level can't remember which and I was getting so frustrated. But it is one of those simpler games I guess. If you search online as well there are some tips and cheats to help you out with this game.

 

ps. I'm trying to get the bilge dice avatar (for scoring 24 is my preference at the moment) and I've been playing hardcore for the past couple days. I've played almost 300 games and scored 24 a lot of the time and I haven't gotten it yet.. it's such a bummer. :( is it just based on luck or is there something I can do that would improve my chances of getting it??

It's entirely random, sadly. I feel your pain about it. I'd have 2-4 games in a row where I got a 24 and didn't get the avatar. And I'd somehow still lose every one of those games.

Methinks the NPCs are using loaded die. >:c

this is very sad news.. the avatars that are randoms take the longest. guess I'll just have to keep trying. but the bilge dice - lucky streak is going to be impossible for me, you'd have to have the best luck in the world.. & if I play another hundred games and I don't get the avatar I'm going to start thinking that they're using loaded die too :P

Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that when I say "going for" certain game avatars, I try to play them at least 3-4 times a week. That's why I only focus on a few at a time. It takes time to get good enough to get the score. Feed Florg and ICM are both frustrating for me, but I like Korbats Lab, so that one's my "reward" for playing the other two. I only send scores 3 times/day, and I'll send even a somewhat crappy score (though I start over if I lose a life before I reach 50 points in Feed Florg, or on the first 3 levels of Korbats Lab). I gauge my progress not based on how far I am from the avatar, but how I'm doing compared to me in the past. So in ICM, by how far I get in a certain level (I've reached tigersquash a few times lately), or how close I get to my high score (or how often I beat it).

 

I don't think you improve that much more per day playing more often than 3x/day, and since you're not getting NP beyond that, I find it keeps me sane. It can take a while, but it feels great when you get it (I remember typing terror took me a few months).

I'm really happy about this avatar. If it weren't for it, I probably never would've started investing in the stock market and would've never found a great source of income!

I finally got no better thing to do so today I just withdraw 100k from the bank and start clicking. Thankfully I don't even have to move the mouse (probably beause the neopets team knows why we people went there). On the second I got the avie I have 76800np left. So that is 232 pulls I did! Not counting my halfheart attempts over the years.

I was sitting there clicking away for what felt like forever, and thinking that I would never get this and I'm wasting all my money, and right when I was about to give up BAM! I got it :happydance: one more added to the list!

Thanks to Neat Person above who inspired me to just go for it and keep pulling that lever, I think it cost about 10000 NP on top of the random pulls I have done in the past

Just a reminder as someone else just kindly reminded me

 

If you already have the mad about orange avatar and you have it active In August you can get the Blumaroo Chef avatar if you put Blumaroo steak, Gourmet cooking for your pet, and Orange juice into the cooking pot

 

Good idea to buy the items for this now as they inflate a lot soon as everyone obviously wants them...just bought mine and stashed them away in my SDB

 

Is it a bit sad that I am now setting memos on my mobile calendar to remind me of avatars to collect on certain dates :ph34r:

Can someone tell me how difficult it is to get the Turmaculus avatar please?

 

I have the times when he should be potentially wakeable and I know I dont get the avatar unless he eats my poor petpet but how many visits are usual before he does get hungry and snacks on my petpet?

 

Must admit I am finding this one difficult, actually offering my poor petpet up seems so cruel ... :sad02: I might have to change my petpet again to something less cute .. sigh
