I'm trying for the Achievement where you scratch all blanks on a Scratchcard. Has anyone actually done this? I feel like I've scratched a billion of these things.

It's possible, I have the achievement. It just takes ages and it's super tedious.

Makes you feel terrible if you do it on a Golden Glory Scratchcard. Speaking of, those seem a bit more likely to give you either blanks or a jackpot? I could be wrong, though, but I seemed to get either jackpot scratches, or blanks on those cards in particular.

Thanks for the reply! As long as I know someone out there has it, it gives me hope. LOL

Thanks for the tip with the Golden Glory cards. Might be worth a try!

No problem! I'm sure other people have it too, but the forums have been a bit dead for the past week for some reason.

Good luck with your achievement hunting!

I have all the scratchcard Achievements, but I have scratched them by the tens of thousands so I do not really know how rare it might be.

IMO Pie and Kumos scratchcards have the least amount of possible prizes, and the algorithm for assigning a prize to a spot on the card puts a blank if it rolls up an item that the card can't have. The times I have gotten all six blank have been on these two. I have failed to win jackpot but never gotten six blanks on a Golden Glory.

Thank you I will give the Pie and Kumos a try! I have noticed that I come up with more blanks on those as well, probably to what you mentioned! Thanks again!

you are welcome.

I have some super strong battlepets with training costs around a hundred-thousand a pop, and the up-stat result is about one in ten across all cards so for me I keep one of those pets Active so that the stat bonus goes to them. Not having to buy boosters or spend 3KXP more than pays for my scratchies. If you have a battlepet, maybe look at it as an extended boosting session and if you get the six blanks it's bonus?

You've got a good point there. Getting a scratchcard every 5min at only 1,000sP a pop has gotta be a better deal than spending sP on high-level training! I'll give it a whirl!

Scratching scratchcards is tedious as heck, but it's so worth it. I did the calculations once and you save so much money on stat boosting that way. In fact, if you buy scratchcards from user shops (which is what I did) you will still get way cheaper stat gains than otherwise, even if you spend up to 3k sP per scratchcard.

One trick I found is to click six of the circles quickly, like before the page reloads... since it lags a bit when reloading and I have a touchscreen so that made the cards go a little faster.

I did get the achievement for all blanks while doing this!

Good luck!

That's how I usually play the cards! Glad to know I'm not the only one to click quick because I'm impatient! I'll keep at it! Thanks for your support!

Each scratchcard scratch is a page refresh, even though it doesn't look like it. If you want to accumulate floating memorial flowers, it pays to click them one at a time. If you speed-scratch you will miss out on these plus Tempest (plus your Inventory will be full of unexplained RE pie).

I think REs are still have a time-limiter on them though.

Ohh, lots of helpful info on here. Thanks! I too was wondering about the 'all blanks' possibility.

I really have to update my blog ObscureJourney and my review site BeingObscure. French speakers can read my reviews here.

- I was wondering the same thing not long ago.

I feel like I have scratched thousands in the past 9 years and have never gotten all blanks. But for that matter, I have also gone to the Hustler most everyday for 9 years and have never found a Amulet of Neutrality, a Light Sword of Justice or a Dark Staff of Chaos. :(

I'm glad to see a few people have at least found all blanks on their scratchcards.

- believe it or not, I received the achievement tonight - Unlocked All Blanks! Scratch all blank spaces on any scratchcard

Now hoping the Hustler will help me with those achievements. :)
