HW Plot Part: Sophie's lab (Split #5)

[Alex]

3g Wool. Soak until Enchantment and Power is at 268.
3g Berries. Dessicate until Power is at 148.
Make sure to check both of these reguarly.
Then 6g of random ingredients, doing nothing

That should work for you.

Huzzah!! It worked beautifully! Thank you so so SO much! *happy dance*

Gonna take a break before attempting the next step, though. I really want to try to do it myself, but it's hard to think when overwhelmed and frustrated.

No problem. I'm more than willing to help others while I finish my petpage for the level before and after that one

[Casi]

I really need some help here. I cannot go to sophie's shack anymore. When I open the page, I get two ads that cover my screen and as soon as I try to close one it reopens. I closed the page and scanned for adware and ran norton. Both are clean. Opened Sophie's shack and it is still happening. This is the only page this happens on. I am not able to continue with the plot till I fix this.

And FYI, if this disturbs anyone, just give a hollar. I am only doing this because I have trouble reading stats in a left > right reading fashion on a chart. Just figured this might help some others. If not, let me know.

CountCrankaroo worked perfectly for my power/enchanting composite and this anti-gravatic goo recipe worked for me (from back a couple pages):

4g Babaa - crush max
2g baggus- everything max
*2g jurple- burn, crush, soak max
*2g jurple- crush, soak max

(*easiest if you max soak and crush 4g of jurple and then split off 2g and burn one of the portions)

Just confirming that this worked for me too - now to find out how to make platinum mist!

[Pink]

Thanks Spacecase! That worked beautifully!

[forcesinbalance]

Just a general thought on the special composites:

Spectral Essence required 2 ingredients.
Anti-Gravitic Goo required 3 ingredients.

While 2 datapoints does not a conclusion make, maybe we should focus on combinations of 4 ingredients for our new special composites?

There's been some chatter on the boards about people geting the Ice plasma picture and words for a 1:1:1 version of burnt and crushed nova, bumroot and grass. No confirmations save for a picture but it sounds hopeful

Waah! Why can't I have ice plasma instead of platinum mist!!

Don't think that's right. A 1:1:1 wouldn't work anyway - that's 3 ingredients, but it's 10 grams.

And I believe that picture is just a basic composite, as JellyNeo has that up as an example for level 1.

I hate these mystery steps -.-

This is just a pic of a miscellaneous composite, NOT a new thing.

[Trilian8]

I have platinum mist, too!! You're not the only one (then again, neither am I)

[AySz88]

I'm going to dinner now, but I'll post what I have with only half of the ingredients done. You can use this to plan ahead and figure out your own - or perhaps even create a program to solve it. Message me if you find an error, please.

Using these numbers should be much more powerful and accurate than SierraSea's tables (which are rounded and only reveal maxing totals), but this involves more calculation.

Unit point values (UPV) for actions, in point-grams per 10 seconds.

Points gained = UPV * (time/10) / mass
DO NOT ROUND AT ALL; fractions are hidden, not thrown away

Code:

Warning: maxing may occasionally give you an extra second's worth of points. (?)
* = extrapolated from maxed

[Katdragon]

According to the boards (which could be completely wrong):

Ice has been found!! Only not the right amount yet. Try it yourself:
Nova, bumroot, grass
Burn and crush MAX and then combine

So, 3 ingredients!

[polomoche]

Try this:
3g Bumroot, desiccated completely
3g Leafy Slorgblossom, desiccated completely
3g Bloodfern Loam, desiccated until the Divination value is 248 (yes, you'll need to stop and check this frequently)
3g Crushed Jurpleberries, unprocessed.
This yields a composite with 80 in both Divination and Enchantment, which should fit within your own +/- 3 parameters.

Thanks for the help. Just before I saw your post, I tried this method I saw on the Neoboards:

you are going to use ONLY the crushed jurpleberries. grab 3 grams 4 times. now this is where it varies for everyone. pay attention.

for POWER: use only dessecate
for CONJURE: use only crush
for DIVINATION: use only soak
for ENCHANTMENT: use only burn

so for EXAMPLE. if you have power and divination, you will dessecate and soak ONLY. this will get you to your target areas in each catagory.

then you combine all the jurpeberries together. one bowl for the spectral, one bowl for the berries, throw it in..and congrats! you did it

note: each motion will only move one of them. so if you choose to dessecate, only the power will move. you then need to choose soak to get the divination to move. get ALL 4 groups to the target area.

And lo and behold, it WORKED! Which makes no sense, since it said "cannot contain more than 3 grams of any one basic ingredient". But whatever, it worked...so if anyone else is totally stuck on step 3, maybe give that a try. Sorry I didn't get to try your example Alex...
