Re: Reading Drive 2013

The weapons are 75% of original price; everything else was halved, I believe. I need so many books!

Re: Reading Drive 2013

My first priority is always to read to Visla (although I am not sure why, as once books hit the 1mil point, it's much more cost-effective to use intelligence boosters and only read a book on every 16th to activate the alchemy point). I just really like reading books to her. I don't feel too bad abou...

Re: Reading Drive 2013

I believe that next time, we won't do a straight-up reading drive, but an item drive instead, possibly with different themed days (like food one day, toys the next, stuff like that). Keith seemed to like that idea (and I do, too!). And yeah, I sold something like 220mil worth of books, but I have a ...

Re: Reading Drive 2013

It's good. It's a strong bomb with a nice blessing.

And I think the achievement is glitchy because it originally asked for 750 books, but we got Ariel to change it because that was way too high!

Re: Reading Drive 2013

The prices won't go up! Point totals will be lower this year, so we'll be adjusting everything down. We're going to figure out this coming weekend how much everything should cost. It's our goal to keep the weapons rare, but not unobtainable.

Re: Reading Drive 2013

I don't mean to downplay the amount of work involved! I, too, hoarded books, bought all the event/plot prize books I could, and read a ton to my battlepet (I think she needs to read less than 150 now to have read every book on site). Keith's problem wasn't so much with hoarding as it was with the ol...

Re: Reading Drive 2013

Reviver of the Lion. You can equip it along with the Pquill for two heals.

And to be honest, the RD has always been a rich person's game. ;) The scavenger hunt is cheap/free, though, and gets you 10 points a day! And vending right now is highly profitable -- I got a bunch of r98s-99s earlier.

Re: Reading Drive 2013

Ierosbats, it's only under r60 for the first day or so here, until people can get to rsing and vending (Keith just wants things to settle a bit), so your higher-rarity books will be useful. :) We wanted to make it so that every book on site is useful in some way!

Re: Reading Drive 2013

Keith didn't like it that people would just hoard for months or years and then dump all their books into the RD on day one and not do anything for the rest of the week, so this format is a compromise -- all non-restockable books (which are actually the majority of books on site) can be turned in the...

Re: Reading Drive 2013

Anything that's not restockable... so free gifts, genetech books, token shop, crystal shop, monthly collection, battle loot, prize shops, cash shop, melody item, game prizes, holiday item... I'm probably forgetting some. Most books on site are actually not restockable.

Reading Drive 2013

We weren't going to have a reading drive this year because Keith hated the old format, but we managed to work out a new format in time! All non-rsable books can be turned in as usual, while all r1-99 ones can be asked for in library quests. There's also a fun third activity (read Alexander the libra...

Pie drew this great new shopkeeper, and her uniform and name (I suggested Anne or Joan) are an homage to a certain beloved TV show. ;)

Mutant Poogle

I had to right-click and check the url to see what color it was, because I had no idea. It doesn't look much like a mutant or a poogle (it reminds me of a chubby little dragon), but I like it anyway. The glowing misty effect is well done, and the horns look nicely detailed. http://pets.neopets.com/c...

Re: Daily Dare

That's interesting! Yeah, I'm not very good at that game and I still managed to get more than 1000 points fairly easily (twice, because it had problems processing my first score). I was surprised that my score was considered high enough to be reviewed. There was a topic about that on the Neoboards l...

Re: Daily Dare

Hm, I wonder if the scores are right for the final challenge... it's Kiko Match II, and AAA's score is only 250, while Abi's is 75. That seems more like the scoring for the original Kiko Match. I got 1180 and submitted that, and I got a message saying that my score had to be reviewed by staff and de...
