Faerie Festival Event 2024

[Pickles]

Day 5 item: Faerie Kacheek Hair Clip
Day 5 quest: Fyora (Gourmet Club Bowls Background - had) --> +2 Lvl +5 HP, +5 Str to battle pet

[Siniri]

Day 5:

Bonus: Make Your Own Faerie Gift Baskets (another book)
Quest: Library, Chocolate Kiko Fudge, refresh to Fountain, A Grey Day Background, 4.9k... Okay, now I've got to go back through that list of favorite colors and make sure I have the right species. I'm still leaning towards Maraquan Kiko for Rosie. It's cute without being too on the nose.

I made von Roo but gained another level. At this point, I'm just adding to the savings that make bumping early worth it, I guess.

Training Savings:
Quests:
+6 level (1 x2 + 5 x3 = 17 codestones saved)
+15 HP (x2 = 30 codestones saved)
Von Roo:
+2 level (6 codestones saved)
---------------------------
53 codestones saved

Extra costs from bumping up early (until reach 1198)
Training HP: 6 trainings (x1 codestone cost)
----------------------------
6 codestones cost

Net: 53 - 6 = 47 net codestones saved

(At this point, I'm 70 HP away from where I would have had to bump. Well, I suppose technically 71... So I only need to save 24 more to break even).

Day 6 item: Light Faerie Usuki Doll
Day 6 quest: Fyora (Chocolate Zafara) --> +2 Lvl +5 HP, +5 Str to battle pet

Time is also a potential savings factor for you, Siniri. I'm not sure how much longer the sessions you're now in are compared to what they were, but the amount of time you don't have to spend training might be significant. Or it might be a wash, all things considered. I don't know?

[Siniri]

Well, I'm losing a training a day by bumping early, but I'll probably make up all that time by the end of the festival (I was going to bump up before my birthday, and I'm even closer to that now). I can calculate that later. (I also often didn't get that fourth training in, anyway, though I'd gotten better the last couple of weeks by finally remembering to tie it into hospital visits.)

I got a +3 on one of my trainings today, so that's helpful.

Day 5 bonus: Space Faerie Lunch Box
Quest: battle faerie, Munion, 555 NP, +3 HP (+3 str, +3 def)

A couple of different shop owners had the only munions in their letter group and priced them at 100k. I hope every shop they enter for their own quests sells out while it's loading, until their SW results reset and they get the "can't use while on a quest," for the rest of the festival.

No Von Roo (or hospital or training) last night. I slept through all my alarms, but that means things are now at more reasonable hours (until life pushes them back again). I even have my first training and hospital shift coordinated, so one fewer alarm. Which means I probably won't even try for Von Roo anymore, because that would be the only thing I'm trying for, and it's not worth losing sleep over. Especially since I'd have to try to lose eight levels at this point, which seems highly unlikely.

Training Savings:
Quests:
+6 level (1 x2 + 5 x3 = 17 codestones saved)
+18 HP (x2 = 36 codestones saved)
Von Roo:
+2 level (6 codestones saved)
---------------------------
59 codestones saved

Extra costs from bumping up early (until reach 1198)
Training HP: 9 trainings (x1 codestone cost)
----------------------------
9 codestones cost

Net: 59 - 9 = 50 net codestones saved

I currently have only 64 more trainings max to get my HP up to when I would have bumped level (so 21 days or fewer). And I've only lost 2 trainings (1/day days 3 and 5, since I'd have missed the extra one on day 4 regardless). But I've saved 19 similar length trainings already, plus another 7 that were really worth 1.3x the time (so ~9), or 28. So even worst case, I've already more than covered the time lost to the slower training. Now it's just about making up for those last 14 (or fewer) codestones, but the extra HP and levels saving so much time are probably already worth whatever those few codestones would cost. Still, it's fun to keep track of. (Not counting the cost of faerie quest items, but mine have all been really cheap so far.)

Day 7 item: Happiness Faerie Dog
Day 7 quest: Fountain (Jade Fountain - 6.5k) --> Fountain Dip

I turned my Grundo back to how it'd been before relic. Now I've got another dip stored. Fun times.

[Blue]

Day 6 Bonus: Enchanted Butterfly Book
Day 6 Quest - Battle, Rainbow Maracas (50) defence, strength, and health have increased!

Day 7 Bonus: Faerie Fire
Day 7 Quest: Seshatia, Chocolate Sword (5k) ...--> Dark provided the reward... +3 HP

Edit... Corrected day 6 and tracking

[Siniri]

Oops. I messed up my tracking. I'll have to try to figure out what I did tomorrow and correct things, if necessary. To that end, I'm just recording what I got today.

Day 7:
Bonus: Illusens Floral Notebook
Quest: library, Kau Banjo, 4.5k, *crosses fingers*... Light, +2 level

+2 levels from quest *3 = 6 reds saved)
3 trainings of HP (cost 1 extra codestone each = 3 reds spent)

At this point, that von Roo ship has definitely sailed.

[Pickles]

Day 8 item: Make Your Own Faerie Gift Baskets
Day 8 quest: Fountain (Spiced Pomegranate Tea) --> Fountain dip. Sigh. Have to figure out what to do with this one.

I'd sure love to have you join my Faerie Festival this year, but I know you'll make the right decision!

The new leaked items ended up in the prize shops. Three new items for each prize shop, and that's it. Granted, they're exclusives, but still.
Looks like everything final prizes-wise will be literally identical to last year. Add being able to get the avvies...sigh. I guess I'll switch sides.

Jhudora: I'd say thanks for choosing my Faerie Festival, but we all know it was the obvious choice. Since I've been forced into doing this again I don't really feel like explaining much. So just bring me stuff you want to donate and I'll give you trinkets or whatever as a reward. And listen closely, if you don't bring me more than those tree huggers over at the other festival I will put my own curse on you that will make you wish you donated your life savings, got it?

I feel like a traitor.
Points are the same as last year, as far as I can tell. The FAQ isn't up yet, though. Hope everyone has been hoarding the 102-179's!
I got up to 75 Smoked Snorkle Cheese since last year. Played a LOT of Cheeseroller...

Day 8 Bonus: Jhudora Fashion Play Set (must be sign to sign up with Jhudora, lol)
Day 8 Quest: Fountain Tooth Faerie Mushroom (2k)... Can I stack up fountain dips and have "two in the well"? I already have one and will waste it if needed before collecting today, but meh.

...Joined Jhudora's team.

Dark and gloomy, just like I like it. Good of a place as any, I suppose, for me to wait around until this thing is over...

Got some junk to drop off? Well, go on then.

At least we get fun and snarky quotes from the Dark Faerie...?

So, there is an Illusen's Staff in the prizes, but no WODF? Sadness.

Points from current Donation : 42

Total Points : 121

Total Donations so far : 30

Not doing great on the donations, I guess (The 42 points were for 7 bouncy ships. I did a donation of 3 to test points on something.)

Day 9: 480 donation points, Hand-crafted Wool Paper (R94 book)
Bonus: Rancid Faerie Potion
Quest: Fountain Faerie, Kaykee Wake Cake, 1.5k, need to use my other FF dip first before turning it in... And rushed it, accidentally morphed to the wrong species, and only realized after I used the dip and got the wrong pet. *sigh* Well, I have the current dip saved. Don't have a kiko mp. Might morph/paint someone else next time I need to use a dip.
