the latter :)

[Gavin]

Thx!

[Gavin]

Sorry, I've been asking lots of questions lately.
Do shotguns count as items or weapons?

[Gavin]

Never mind, figured it out using common sense. (face palms self)

[Morgan]

No need for facepalms -- we've got 158 pages of the rest of us asking questions so no one's gonna be bothered. ;) haha. We've all been there.

[Jammin Jenny]

I just arrived here in a sorry state and I have I got a story to tell...

It all began when I saw the HIdden Figures (1)...they are invisible to most people due to their Genetic Engineering (2) but I have a genome sequence that lets met see them. Anyway I decided to have a closer look as they weren't really paying attention to me. I heard them plotting murder! They said it was just A Matter of Trust (3) before they could commit their Red, White and Blueberry Murder (4). Hurry! Wickedly They Come (5) this way. Hide your blueberries...!!

[Morgan]

lol. Sounds like you had a rough time of it! ;) Welcome!

[Rebecca]

Love it Jenny! Looks like you've earned some ale and rat stew for your tale.

[Megs]

Thanks for the story Jenny. I sounded terrifying!

[Cathy]

Nicely done Jenny!

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks all. I did help myself to an ale after telling my tale...

You gave me an idea for a quest."

Woohoo!

Great job Jenny! And welcome all new adventurers :)

I have an bunny egg up for grabs if anyone needs it!

Do things done before accepting the Academy Quest but after joining the adventure count?

[Morgan]

Gavin wrote: "Do things done before accepting the Academy Quest but after joining the adventure count?"

Do you mean books?
Any books you read after you join the adventure count, and there's the welcome basket as well -- which you can find here -- that lets you use up to 15 books that you read in the 12 months PRIOR to starting your adventure here. (As long as you started after Jan 1, 2016.)

There is, I believe, at least one quest that does ask for all books to be "fresh" as in read after that quest was begun.

Does that help? Or did I miss the point? lol.

[Cat]

or is it the theatre thing?
I don't think it matters if you hadn't started to record stuff for the Academy challenge; doing the theatre turn is a tick I reckon

[Morgan]

I hadn't thought of that Catherine. There were a couple of those (non-book related) that I skipped.

Yeah, I'd say either way if you've done it, count it. lol.

[Alex]

How does it work with in-between series books and levelling up the staff? I have #8.5 book coming up and would like to use it for my staff but not sure if this is allowed.

Yes, that one!
Thx guys!

don't think so, no. but there's definitely a quest where they are explicitly required - the Fairies?

[Alex]

I've already done the fairies, trying to find the best use for it as I must read series in order!

[Cathy]

I am the same way. ---but I don't think they can be used in leveling. I always use those in other quests.

[Zuzana]

You can use them in the Pipsqueek quest.

Oh, yes please. I would love to take this off your hands (can't believe it hasn't been snapped up already).

I'm still a long way off a rabbit, and rationing my HP accordingly. :(

[Cathy M.]

Its yours Sarah; Enjoy that extra 3HP :)

Thank you so much! I'm off to eat it straight away. :)

I don't do magic so pipsqueak may not be the best option yet. I do need heal potions so looks like I'll search it for a scrounger word!

[Rebecca]

Hey guys! Does anyone have a book that would work for

"Task 3: Read a book that proudly displays its award. (i..e award "sticker" on the cover)
How to cheat: Use a different edition that has the award sticker when the one you read did not."?

That they would be willing to sell?

Thanks!

[Rebecca]

Also I may be crazy, but is there anyway to take away just 1 HP from a monster? Like when I have WRATH down to 1 HP and need to get exactly 0.

[Cathy]

Hit it with a nut.

[Rebecca]

Ahhhh thank you Cathy! My brain wasn't working today yay!

Do I need a slingshot or anything for that?

[Zuzana]

yup, you need a slingshot. it's 5 books if i remember correctly

I've got
Goodbye Stranger
It says winner of the Newberry Award and something else under the title.
If you still need it, would you like to trade it for A Breath of Snow and Ashes?
Need a romance book for the horse quest.

Let me just ask the mods (Tea, Kelly) to make sure that works (I don't know if it requires the actual "sticker" on it or not.)

If so, I have the romance book 12 Days of Dash and Lily ready and that would work for the horse.

I have to save A Breath of Snow and Ashes for my sword.

Thanks!

[Rebecca]

Questions for Mods

For "Read a book that proudly displays its award. (i..e award "sticker" on the cover)". - Does it have to have the sticker on it? Or could it just proudly display its award in a proclamation on the cover?

Also, for battles in general (IE I'm trying to fight gluttony) - can we opt out of using any of our "extras" for the fight.
----For example, can I tell me horse not to help in the battle (for the whole battle) and thus reduce my attack power for the entire battle?

[Kelly]

I'm ok with it just proudly displaying the award.

And I'll be very nice and say you can optionally tell your pets not to attack but you can't take off weapon enhancements.

[Gavin]

Great!
I'm ready to make the trade when you are.

KELLY YOU JUST MADE MY 2016 AND 2017!

Perfect. Here's the book The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily! Enjoy your horsie.

[Gavin]

Thx!
Nice doing business with ya!

[Rebecca]

Did Reva give up on us?!

[Rebecca]

Also LADIES AND GENTS! I just realized I am ready to take on this biggest battle of MY LIFE.

Wish me luck in my battle of the Hydra (I will not give up until all heads are vanguished). Then I'll use my remaining strength to battle the Jabberwocky, Theasausu, The Swarm, and finally The Queens.



But seriously I've been working on this plan for A YEAR and I can't even wait to reap alllll the glory!!


I am a teensy bit afraid I did something wrong, but I've checked about 10 times and I think I'm doing everything right.

[Megs]

Good luck! Soon all your planning will be worth it!

Wow, I can only DREAM about doing that...
A YEAR of planning?!
Wow.

Don't forget to show off all the loot and glory ;)
Good luck?

[Zuzana]

Good luck, Rebecca! Show them no mercy! ;)

[Rebecca]

Thanks! I might post the swarm and queens here once I have it all typed up, just to make sure I understand all the nuances (I tried reading through the thread and looking at people's examples).

Also for the levels after 11, are these the accurate level increase?
12 1530
13 2475

[Cathy M.]

Go Rebecca go!! :D

Yes that is correct!

[Alyssa]

Good luck Rebecca! That's exciting :D

[Rebecca]

Haha thanks everyone!!

I am NOT EVEN KIDDING you guys....something got screwed up with my spreedsheet and it had all the hydras attack at 20, not 15. So I just realized I need less potions than I thought! Yippee
