What do you need the Q for? Is it a quest I missed somehow?
AaaaahThanks, I didn't even notice that
How on earth do we find books with no numbered chapters?
Reva wrote: "How on earth do we find books with no numbered chapters?"As long as I remember "The book thief" has no numbered chapters, the Italian version at least.
I just read a book called The Samurais Garden that was in a diary form so there were no "chapters".
Lots of the BOMs have had no numbered chapters. They drive the mods nuts when doing day breakdowns. You cN look at the reading schedules to see chapter names.
Woohoo! Just gained level 7 and bagged my first troll!!
Congrats Teresa!Does that mean we have a feast tomorrow?
I've just done my weekly update. Hmmm, now what is the possibility of me managing to read 192 books in the next couple of weeks so I could get all my quests finished?What do you mean, "HA!?" That's only a book an hour for the next 8 days or so...
Are we going to get some troll stew? I'm a little sick of rat.
You've got to boil troll for a lot longer than rat - their hides are really thick.
Can you elaborate on the Hat hat, please?Hat Hat - A hat hat is a peculiar hat that can duplicate the drops of any common (non timed) animal. You're not sure if it's spitting out goblin bones out of an alternate universe or just some from goblins that it ate before but either way the additional skeletal remains are appreciated. The hat must be worn during the battle and only one hat may be worn at a time. (Price: 50 Gold)
What animal attacks qualify? And what use are the results?
Also can we see Junes quests please?

Goblin, bat, great sewer rat. SO if you wear a hat hat while fighting them, you'll pick double things (2 bones, 2 wings, 2 tails)

Are there any non expired quests collecting these things?
There's robbing robin hood for the bat wings and also one of the midas quests. I already did these :( will there be new quests which will need these? Or will we get a new commun monster?
Reva wrote: "Are there any non expired quests collecting these things? "For now only Robin Hood one comes to mind. And I think few Midas Quests.
Of course, I have no idea what quests will be expiring in June :)

From brainstorming so far, no and no. But Kelly usually comes up with couple of great quests few minutes before posting so who knows. :)
"The journey of 1,000 bat wings"Or maybe
"Every man, woman and child deserves their own goblin bone"
:P
From caravan:"Books purchased may be used the same as any book you would have read normally.
Participation may not be bartered.". -> What does this mean?

Can't sell participating in a buddy read or doing Discussion questions and those type of goals.

LOL. That never even occurred to me
I try to specify when I can think of odd cases people might try to do :P
Kelly, how does the countdown to start work? It's 25th for more than 5 hours here and it says 7 hours. Does it mean that for the caravan we're all on American time?
Hmm, I thought I had it set to international west time.Ok, just checked. I do have it set to international west time. Maybe I should have made it east for the start. It is a week from start to finish since I used the same time zone for both.
Sir Reva's Caravan & Emporium is open for business.
Kelly, what I was trying to ask (I put it rather badly I admit) is if for the caravan we are using our own timezone time or do we all have to wait for one of the US ones (east or west)?
Zuzanna, the countdown is so that everyone starts at the same time because we're all in such different zones. So I believe the idea is for everyone to wait until the countdown is at 0, not just go off of whenever it's the 25th where they are.
It makes sense, Cait. :) I just wanted to be sure that I can make some of my purchases on Monday the 1st of June (before the countdown goes to zero) despite the caravan being "available 5/25/15 - 5/31/15".
Yeah, I feel you. I was super confused yesterday wherein I was positive it was the 25th and was like WHY IS NO ONE POSTING ON THE CARAVAN!?!??! Mmmm yes, not the right day, I am wrong, yup.
So apparently the countdown only works if you like also know how to look at a calendar lol
Yes, you may use the caravan anytime between the countdown clocks.
So the caravan is a temporary thing?I've got my staff and sword ( will post on my thread soon ) - and checking out quests now.

Congrats! Go kill some monsters now :)
Reva wrote: "Soooo. When do we see June's quests?"In June? :P
Sometime before May 30th :)We're writing up gladiator team challenge too so spread a bit thin.
Ok. Don't mean to be a pest. Usually you've given us a sneak peek. Knowing what's going to expire could have an effect on what is bought and sold in May's caravan.
So regarding the tax levy... who is supposed to pay? the buyer or the seller?
Teresa wrote: "So regarding the tax levy... who is supposed to pay? the buyer or the seller?"After rereading what we wrote, seller pays taxes. We can make buyer too if you want for next one :)
RebeccaS wrote: "Quick caravan question...if I already read Red Rising myself, can I also buy it from the caravan?"I don't think we've ever talked about that option.
I'll say yes since it can be counted as reread, but I'll draw a line at using both of them in same quest. That goes for weapons too. If you used it once for sword, you can't use it again in leveling up.
If Kelly disagrees with me, she'll let you know. :)
