Zuzana | 2570 comments Are the elementals on the same time schedule as the rest of the timed weekly monsters? sun to sat?


message 6654: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Yes


message 6655: by Rachel (new)

Rachel C (rachcl) | 53 comments In the quest with the bird in the cover or in the title, can i consider the series names ? (I'm kinda reading the raven cycle, so if counts, I have a lot of book with birds)


message 6656: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Yay thank you Kelly!


message 6657: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3799 comments Yes!!!!! The rewards for this part are AMAZING!!!!

For the one where we have to provide a drop bear steak, do we need to have completed the drop bear steak quest (meaning we have to make some for the queen first to learn the recipe)?

Let's stick with just cover and title.

If you have a drop bear steak from another source you can use that, however it has to be the cooked version and not the meat drop.


message 6660: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Is there any other source for the steaks? You have to finish the drop bear steak quest to get the recipe. I guess you can buy one on the open market?


message 6661: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I didn't remember if I gave them away as a reward before for some quest.


message 6662: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments I don't think so.

Anyway, the (one, two, three weeks) time restrictions do not count for the new monsters so we can kill them as fast as they emerge, right?

BTW, loving this part of the dragon event. Great job, mods!


message 6663: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Per the earlier question/answer, does that mean the monsters re-set on Sundays? So if I battle my 1st today, I can battle the 2nd one on Sunday? Or wait until next Wednesday so 1 week has passed?


message 6664: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments So I've battled all 5 elementals 25/5/16

Is my next available date May 29 or June 1.

Then June 12 or 15?


message 6665: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Per rules the twins do not double the items that are turned in (i.e. the essences). So they double the rest of the items dropped by the elementals. ;-) I'm sure going to hire Amile and Ester for my elemental battles.


message 6666: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments They'll reset Sunday so you can do them again the 29th


message 6667: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Yes they'll double the normal items.


message 6668: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments Can someone please explain to me what this means?

• Doubles drops from common and timed monsters. (If Hat Hat is used, drops will double from the double when applicable.)

It quadruples if you use the Twins and Hat Hat. For example, 1 rat tail x 2 x 2 = 4 rat tails.


message 6670: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments Oh sorry, I should be more specific (I am nowhere close to having a Hat Hat!) so drops means the reward you get from killing the monster?

So if you get 10 experience, you'd get 20 when it doubles the drop?


message 6671: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments The drops are the rat tails, bat wings, goblin bones, drop bear meat, or even gold for the lemur. Pretty much everything except for the Exp points!

Don't forget the Potion Token and Merely Kat Pelt!


message 6674: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments Ok, thank you both :D


message 6675: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments One more question for tonight :-) I didn't see the spell-it-out rules listed anywhere. Could someone please direct me to where those are?

Thanks!

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Here is the link Greta!

Or listed below:

Spell-It-Out Rules
Choose a term or phrase from list found farther down in the challenge, then read books to spell out the word(s) using
◈ the first letter in the book's title
◈ the first letter in the series
◈ the first letter in the author's first or last name
◈ the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name

As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.

Perfect, thanks!!!

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Read a book where someone does something hard and there is a rock/stone/building or other extremely hard thing on the cover.

Just to clarify:

1. One book does both.

2 Would giving birth and a butcher block table count?

Thanks, Kelly!


message 6680: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Yes one book must do both and I think #2 sounds sufficiently hard.


message 6681: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1294 comments Kelly, this event is amazing!
I'm glad I'm finally able to contribute a bit for this part :)

Thanks Kelly.

This is a great event and your imagination continues to amaze me.


message 6683: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Just to clarify again:

ALL quests in the Event revert to Sunday not just the attacks.

Just attacks. Quest parts depends on when you do them. You still need to wait week (minimum) between quests

For example, you've done Fire Bug today, you need to wait a week to do it again

Alyssa Lane So to double check:

"Duplication effects (whether by potion, item or mercenary) do not affect event items turned into Fred (e.g. essences, etc.)"
BUT, if a quest drops additional items, like a potion token, those CAN be duplicated?

Basically, if I hire the twins, then complete a few of these event quests, will I get 2 tokens/pelts/gold etc?

Twins are just for drops from monsters.
You can view their description on the mercenary page.
" Doubles drops from common and timed monsters. (If Hat Hat is used, drops will double from the double when applicable.) "


message 6687: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Lane Okay so it would work for the monsters of the event, but not the quests. Got it.

The background looks like glass to me but the crown looks like diamond and metal.

Crown looks like metal with crystals. Not sure about background. Looks glass-y to me
But isn't it too short?

Edit:
It took so long for post to post that Kelly was faster :P


message 6691: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Love the Manifestation Quest. Used it to buy a 1300+ page book to complete 5000 Leagues which in turn yielded 5 exp and 2 Major Heal Potions.

Woohoo!

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3799 comments So for a book where someone does something hard.... How hard does it have to be? I'm reading s book where the character works in PR and has a lot of disasters and always talks about how stressful her job is.

It's a judgement call and probably varies from book to book based on the character. Some books have military type guys jumping from airplanes and making it look easy so that wouldn't count but if you had a housewife to suddenly had to jump from an airplane then it could count.

You can use your own judgement on whether it's something hard for the character and context that it's within.

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments Added what I could with monster kills and from the books I have on hand at the moment in my tote. :)

What's this manifestation quest? I feel like I missed part of the quests. lol.
