Oooh - Keelhauliday just started. Nice beginning, I managed to buy two books (1 new, 1 old) from the Freyalise Trading Company. And glad I saved my Carl Quests just in case the holiday started today.

- next time you're 1 away from defeating a challenger, instead of holding your breath (I do that too, LOL) you could throw a which is a single use full blocker. (Just a thought.) Of course, you have to have one equipped and then you need to remember to equip another one for the next desperation save.

- oooh, Cynde is T9! Congratulations. The way you're going, she could be T10 by Morostide. :-)

For T9 weapons, the trident is great, of course. I also like my AoN. Those are both super expensive and can be hard to fin.

The Gelatin Slayer and the core can come in handy if you just happen to have them now. You can now use the Intricate Energized Helmet. I love my Shinwas Short Sword (available to purchase in the Battle Shop).

I'm still using my Large Gutting Knife, Phoenix Quill and UltimaPlus Tag most of the time.

You probably want to ask some of the more experienced higher tier battlers before you decide.

Wow - you beat Saggi already! And Surge too - wow - he drove me crazy (sometimes still does). If you can beat Saggi, you can definitely beat Sandragon. Way to go Cynde!!!

- you're welcome. :-)

By the way, if you're just looking for a Magma Blocker, you could consider Shinwas Short Sword. I know you said you prefer weapons that block two icon types, but the short sword can be purchased for tokens in the battle shop. I use mine all the time (but, of course, Tos is T9).

- waves hi. Nice job walking and doing BQs.

- Paintbrush Blades are selling for under 20 million sP right now. There are still a few around at that price, so you could keep on eye on them in shop search if you're thinking you want one. I actually wound up buying one just to put in my vault until Tos is T11 (so you could also borrow mine if you ever needed it). (I see you also have the same offer from too.)

- I'm sure you will be able to do it.

Seriously those are some awesome wearables and items :O I'm in love!

Thank you so much! Every bit of advice does help so thanks for all that! I hope to be tier 10 ny Morostide so I can take on Nightlady if she returns. :) Good luck with your training with Tos and all your other battle pets~

You just complimented me on using Cronus in my HA, then told me about a good magma block :P I'm not a fan of weapons that don't heal, idk if its because I don't remember being at t9, or what, but I never liked weapons that didn't heal XD But yeah, the short sword would be a good alternative until you can use the Syringe, or eventually the Cronus!

Thanks for the offer! We'll see once I unlock her how difficult she really is, but I'll also use the MCAB and that should help!

Right? I love the items this year, they're all so great ~

They are indeed! And I used to think I couldn't love anything more than the batch for last year. This year's new items really take the cake :D

I really do like so many of the items this year, I probably won't get them all but they are really great! I can't wait to see what we get for the rest of this year's holidays! :)

Which vending machine hands these out?

which map pieces are you looking for?

Ocean Depths in the Omen Islands! :)

Any of them really, I've only completed the set like 3 times so any piece I can get helps. I'm not really actively looking for them or buying them currently though.

Figured, wanted to make sure :P

ocean depths didn't give me anything, but carl gave me one of the new plushies. it's a start, haha

i have a bunch of pieces 1 and 4 (the cheap ones; i've been making a lot of and so on), and i'm keeping an eye on the others and buying 'em when they hit a price point i'm okay with. but i have a bunch of tcs and stuff to fill first, so i'm hoping for lots of treasure map random events during the holiday season while i take care of those, haha

You have defeated Maliss Bopper 5 times!

Maliss Bopper drops:

Maliss Wig

Maliss Cannon

Maliss Bopper Beanbag

You earned 4265 sP for beating Maliss Bopper!

Estre earned 1329 EXP Points!

- looks up Cronus stats on SubetaLodge - Oh! Ooops. Still, give me a break, I swear you were just discussing a magma block with someone, and I don't own a Cronus, remember my highest tier battle pet is still only T9. It is pretty funny though. :-)

The short sword doesn't have a regular heal, but it does sometimes activate a blessing that heals 300 hp for two turns (and blocks 4 of each icon too). That probably doesn't sound like a lot of healing to you, but it has made the difference in many a battle for Tos. :-)

- I was actually just thinking that you're going through Tier 9 so fast, you might as well just get T10 weapons. Of course, a few of them are still useful then too. :-)

- I don't think I"ve ever actually used my map pieces to complete the set. Why would you want to do it more than once? Is there something worth the cost of the pieces?

Oh man, it was nice going through and reading your comments as you found the pirate items. I made sure to do some wearables throughout while adding to mess with you ( was fooled!)

We got some cool battle-y things planned for the holiday too IN GENERAL NICE CONTENT THIS YEAR YAY

It's probably for the Treasure Seeker achievements :)

i was fooled repeatedly, and i loved it!! i feel like this every event, but you guys really outdo yourselves every time ;w;

i just like collecting forum titles, and the achievement for treasure maps has three! 8)

Yeah it's for the achievements like said! Though it's not a high priority for me, so I just complete them as I happen to get enough pieces.

YAY BATTLE THINGS

Also please pass on the praise to the artists and content creators, the items really are top notch this year! :)

OMG BATTLE CONTENT I AM STOKED!!!

Oh, thats alright then :P Cronus is made from the Baal you get for defeating meatslab 5 times, its a real achievement to get hold of one! I was talking about it with someone earlier because they were looking for a magma block for t9! I didn't know that had that blessing! Sounds awesome :D
