I hope you get some time! With GG you probably read a lot of books that you can use to fill up goals.

It's fun to see everyone get so excited when they get their pets :)"

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Lapsed player here, just getting back into things. I'm intrigued by the all player event - has this happened once already? What does it entail?

I will admit that at first I wasn't sure the best strategy. After taking some time off and coming back, now I can see how other people worked toward defeating the larger beasties and it helps me know what I should be prioritizing. It's really helpful!

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Welcome Alyssa and welcome back Carmen and Logan. This is the most action we've seen in the Tavern in quite a while. I hope it's an indicator of things to come.

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Question: Are there experience points for installing the kitchen? I saw that you get them for building the house, but didn't see any for the kitchen. Trying to figure if I want to go for the falcon/mouse meatballs or not.

There's no XP for the kitchen. You just get your kitchen :P

This was the all player event. However, next time we'll do it without the sick animals.

Zuzana's the expert with the numbers, and has calculated that the kitchen & recipes (so far) aren't book-efficient. The shop (via midas quests) is a better source of potions for health. Rabbit is a good pet to get.


message 4059: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments And you can now get up to 30 gold from defeating the Woollymark!


message 4060: by Logan (new)

Logan (loganturner) | 1643 comments Thanks all! Yes, the Woollymark looks tempting, but I'm gonna need some more heal potions. :) And I think I will go for the rabbit.


message 4061: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Keep in mind the hidden attribute though


message 4062: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments Do we have to have a puppy that can find minor hiding monsters?


message 4063: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Lane How do you get the shop/Midas quests/gold work? I got kinda lost on all those.


message 4064: by Reva (last edited Oct 06, 2015 04:39PM) (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Gold comes from Midas Quests, Classifieds, Puppy Fetch and Woollymark.

The Midas quests and Woollymark are listed in the Notice Board.

The Classifieds are listed in Jack and Jill Caravan Hill (store)

See this link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Fulfilling any of the above quests, earns you gold which you can spend in the store and once a month, in the last week of the month in Jack and Jills's open market where people offer up books and items for sale

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Feel free to check other players' threads for what we have done. We don't mind.


message 4066: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Lane Okay so the store is in a separate thread- that answered my question. I saw all the quests to get gold but I didn't understand what the gold was for/being spent on. That makes a lot more sense. So much has been added since I last checked all this stuff in like may! 0.0

message 4068: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments The best things worth purchasing are the potions and the cat. Don't waste your gold on anything else.

Concentrate on getting your staff level up as high as possible. The ideal is to use one stroke to kill rats, goblins and bats guaranteeing steady experience points every week -- at no cost to your Hero's Health Points.

For extra combat strength aim for HORSE (+1) and PUPPY + COMBAT(+1)

For extra Health Recovery, aim for RABBIT (+3) and HOUSE +BED (+1)
After Level 8 you can only attack Greater rats which net you rat tails for SHEETS 1-3 HP. All deliver points on Sundays.

Zuzana | 2570 comments Kelly, could you answer my question about enhance weapon potion, please? I'm working out stats, items, potions & order of heads to kill the hydra most effectively and I really need to know that first. Thanks.


message 4070: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments What does the Hiding attribute mean? I think I missed that :(

Beginning Tracking provides your puppy with the ability to find minor hidden monsters.

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Teresa wrote: "What does the Hiding attribute mean? I think I missed that :("

It requires you to be able to track monsters.


message 4073: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments So no puppy, no monster... oops! Got to go fix my logs... I got too excited over a new creature!!


message 4074: by Reva (last edited Oct 06, 2015 06:37PM) (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments The Woollymark is a Rare Monster - Minor Hidden

So I guess you need PUPPY + BEGINNER TRACKING to attack it.

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Zuzana wrote: "Kelly, can we use two enhance weapon potions in one battle, one for the staff and one for the sword? If not can we use 1 in 1 battle and second in another battle within the week (1 for sword, 1 for..."

I'm ok with using one on each weapon. That's not stacking them in my opinion since it's still just one on each weapon. (You can't use two on the same weapon to get a +6)

Yes, you can use it for the monsters.

Sloth - This one averages so if you have it on both then it'd add +3 to your averaged score.
Envy - I count this as potion based damage so it would count as an additive.
Pride - I think it's ok to treat this as an add-on when it's on the higher weapon since if your sword is normally 10 and you boost to 13, if you subtract your staff at 7 you end up with 6 whether you do it before or after.

There will be some other hidden things that will be useful to have the puppy for. And maybe another way to be able to track them although I haven't seen anyone resistant to getting the puppy.

Oh that I did for sure :)

Zuzana | 2570 comments thanks kelly & yay for enhance weapon potion working against hydra. that will help a lot. but even then i guess it won't be before february i'll tackle this particular monster.


message 4080: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I was just hoping for something new that I could kill now without lots of extra reading and only a little planning. I'm still trying to catch up on quests but I have killed all available uncommon monsters.

I'll put it on the list for next month :)

Also, there may or may not be a mid month update since I have a birthday in a few weeks. *innocent look*

message 4085: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Lane Just to clairfy - Can you kill just one common monster per week, or one of EACH per week?
Thanks!

Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. Everyone here is very nice and happy to help

You're welcome to check any of our personal threads for how we did things, battles etc. We don't mind.

Natasha | 1145 comments I've certainly been taking a look around, trying to get ideas and to figure out how to best record my quest journey. :)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Thank you for the giftcards & HAPPY UPCOMING BIRTHDAYS KELLY & TEA!!!!!

I think I'm one of the few who didn't mind the all player events :P Probably because I had only started in June and didn't have any pets yet. And I thought it was nice to see the players work together and there was more interaction.

Luckily the game is continuing on into next year. You've made my day hearing that!

And welcome new players :D


message 4097: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments So I have started my dragon slaying yay :D


Have a quick question - if I use a Damage Potion, that increases the attack power for both Sword & Staff right?

And for the Blue Dragon, I can use 3 Minor Heal Potions at 1 turn for -15 to the Dragon (-5 each potion) right?

I don't have any pretty dragon pictures :( but I have defeated the first 1! I'm almost ready for the 2nd one (depending on the Damage Potions question), and reading for more potions so I can defeat the other 2.


Attack Green Dragon
(view spoiler)
Gains 30 Exp & Orb of Earth
❖❖ Level 7 Mod Hero - Level 6 Sword | Level 8 Staff | 21 HP | 190 Exp ❖❖ 


message 4098: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Yes, to both of your questions, Cathy. Damage potion increases attack power of both weapons. Each and every heal potion you use in this particular battle decreases the dragon's health - so minor heal potions are the best. :-)

BTW Congrats on your dragon slaying!

Yay thank you Zuzana! The other 3 dragons will be toast before those potions wear out then. Say goodbye dragons haha! :D
