Faerie Festival Event 2024

[Blue]

Donated.

Interesting Dialog. Orion's (demon)'s shock was amusing near the end. Did Orion actually think that the two faeries would make up and be nice if they had to work together? Nope.

Day 16: 2160 points from donating and Rainy Day Quiggle Umbrella from the capsule (~100k)

Meh. Didn't get anything spectacular, but I suppose it could have been worse. At least this one was worth more than four or five figures.

I'm going to try to calculate my net results from quests on my PC in a bit.

Edit: I ended up saving 65 red codestones net from quests + Von Roo during the festival, and to reach the HP I planned to before bumping early will take me 17 14 more trainings (i.e. 14 extra reds, adjusting for bonuses/extra quests), so I ultimately saved 51+ reds from all those quests (~440k NP, minus the price of quest items). And the time savings was significant -- a full 8 days and 2 hours of training, and that's not accounting for how much more difficult getting 4 trainings/day is than getting 3/day (and thus the time lost to missing trainings).

Plus I have that extra FQ dip on standby once I get my hands on a Kiko MP. All in all, a very successful festival!

And if TNT ever decided to go back on their word and increase the max boost to 800, my defense is only 4 away now (and strength one away from 850). Unlikely, but a remote possibility.

I would love to go see my new trophies...but all of my trophies are now MIA. ALL. OF. THEM. Apparently there's a glitch.

Also, go visit the faerie's quest page of the team you joined for an extra bonus.

Well, look who it is! Since you were shrewd enough to attend my Faerie Festival, I'd say you earned yourself a special gift.
Crystalline Stalactites

Awesome training savings, Siniri! I would love to see them add some higher brackets on boosts....but I doubt it'll happen. Who knows?

[Siniri]

I got the same prizes as Pickles. (I didn't get the pop-up for the stalactites, but they were in my inventory.)

At this point, I really should look at the various weapons I have (or could buy in a prize shop) and optimize my set for when the baddies actually get tough. Based on the remaining achievements, it looks like we'll be battling in Altador at some point soon. (I'll leave any other conjecture for the plot thread, though the relevance here is the scythe and prize shop ring, plus the Illusen items from last year.)

Regarding the plot... I think it's fine for Illusen and Jhudora not to get along, as long as they can be professional about it. There are hurts that even if you forgive, you just can't repair the relationship. And if you're bringing out the worst in each other, minimizing the amount you have to interact is better for both parties.

Woo hoo! I also received the same prizes. Last year, I did not. Supposedly did not visit every day, despite doing everything. Meh. Team Jhudora is clearly better

Agreed on Illusen and Jhudora not getting along. Being professional and cordial is just fine. I think there is definitely plenty of "dark" inside both of them.

I knew I was trying to do those calculations when I was too tired! I went back and looked at them and fixed my spreadsheet. I've had 3 more bonus HP, so I'll only need 14 extra trainings max to get my HP to 3x 399 (I'm already at 1194), which is a cost of only 14 more reds than I would have spent. Which means I saved 51 reds (~440k in codestone costs alone, minus the cost of my quest items, which surely was well under 100k). And it was over eight days of time savings, despite having slightly longer trainings.

So a very successful festival for me!

To reach level 500 (and the last faerie ability) and 1500 HP, Sunny Neo says it'll take until March 24 and ~10 million NP (1182 reds), assuming I miss very few trainings. Maybe I'll need those extra HP by then in the plot? Hopefully not sooner!
