I had to quit two Saggi and one Rumi today. Million sp items. Sheesh. Eh. Used to it at this point, but still annoying.

Yes! Well, actually I have ONE missing plushie right now. But I did get my plushie collection completed years ago and keep updating it to complete as often as I can. The one I need is ridiculously expensive because it's hard to earn from an impossible battle challenger. My lovely friends helped me so much to get it completely complete the first time back in 2022 (and then they put out more plushies of course hahaha!). But yeah, I loved how easy it was when I first started to get my collection going here. (18+ years ago now!)

So many people on facebook were whining about how the water is always bad anyway. But I think a fuel leak would have been worse? Thats what they say happened, a jet fuel leak near the airport where the water/river begins....I don't know what all might be in the regular water, but I know it goes through the treatment plant before coming to us anyway.... I don't drink tap water. Its - I don't know, I'm just weird like that? I'll drink bottled water. But I use the tap water for cooking, for watering my pets, and for making tea and koolaid that I drink? LOL I mean, how weird is it that I'll drink tea and koolaid made from the tap but not drink the plain tap water? I don't even drink the tap water from the fridge, which HAS a filter in it!! I think part of that was my years in Florida, where the tap water just tasted super nasty.

Alright I just finished my quests - quit one for Rumi (the sticker was "only" 350K but it felt not worth it), overall I am happy, since Maleria was so nice to give me a beanbag I was missing! Yay! Love when that happens :D

I am training up one of my pets... maybe one day I can take on Impossible Battle Challenger. That'll take forever, I'm sure at that point you'll have the plushie covered haha.

Totally understandable to be weird about tap water. I have heard horror stories! And I think it makes sense to drink things made with tap water when it includes boiling, since that will kill off bacteria pretty effectively. I don't know if that applies to koolaid though! It's fine to have quirks that don't make logical sense though, definitely no judgment.

[Edit] And I meant to ask and promptly forgot - anything from the Crystal Shop restock that was great to get? Are any of you working on fragmentizing?

As a noob I can't really tell what I need. I have the one beanbag from the Crystal Shop, so that felt the most urgent, the rest I do not yet collect.

And... I am procrastinating going to the gym. It's been a while, I have been hesitant about going after I've been sick and my doctor put the fear of getting pneunomia into me. I'll be going for real now, though...

As a new player, get whatever you want and have decided is your first priority for collecting or doing. Its honestly all a personal preference!

For me, there are SO MANY minions, books, and even a few foods I need to get in there right now! I am prioritizing the foods and minions and leaving the books for now. I probably won't get all of the ones I need before they're all gone since I don't have enough crystals. I have already fragged all the items I own under 3k (and the crystals only cost 2500 at the moment) I even vended today and fragged the cheap stuff I got already (I try to vend every day to put items in my shop anyway).

Yeah, I boil the water to steep for tea, but finish filling the pitcher from the tap...but I do not boil at all for the koolaid LOL

I feel excited when I get a book one of my two new pets hasn't read yet lol (I created them both back at Thanksgiving, with my daughter and her fiancé as they were looking at what I was playing online while I was at their house)

I got a universal remote, which was exciting! And then a bunch of plushies. There's still a few in there I want, trying to decide if it's worth using crystals or just buying them outright, now. Hmmm.

I miss the gym :( I was enjoying going this summer, but it's just too expensive. Make sure you wipe things down well!

I only drink tap water too, but we have well water, too, so that's different.

Thank you! I did go and I feel good about it, accomplished The Thing :D it is definitely expensive, but I got a year membership, so the money's already gone. Now I must capitalize on the space! And I always wipe things, plus shower afterwards.

Mieke having a well seems like a whole different world! Do you live very rural and have a large property? Because I am picturing that when I hear of a well.

And Kat that makes sense getting excited about finding books! When I joined I goofed and accidentally created 4 pets instead of the one, so I pretty much always have a pet that didn't read a book yet. It'll take time to get to that point where finding a new book will become exciting, something to look forward to :)

Not very rural or very large, but basically everyone outside of town has a well? Like, even if it's just an acre or something. We have around 12? acres I think? The neighbor has 1.5 and the other neighbor has 1.

It's not like.. a well like a storybook or anything, it's all underground haha.

Ooh Mieke you got lucky!! I don't think I've yet to get a universal remote in all my time here.

A fancy storybook well would be cute to have hahah!! (But probably a pain to keep clean?) But yea, most wells are just water lines ran to the house from the underground well, isn't it? With like a small wellhouse where you can check certain things? One of my friends had a well at a place she lived a few years, but I never checked out the well itself.

I'm down to less than 2k crystals and have like 20 items that I could still choose from (not counting books!). I've been getting the more expensive ones first. So I've gotten like 3 minions and 2 or 3 food items so far.

My 1 acre is more than enough for me. I would LOVE to have more - you have 12 acres? Or did you miss the . in there ... 1.2 acres? Mine is actually 1.04 of an acre.

I have 21 pets now. I honestly never meant to have so many, but I like the variety. I shove them all in the veta lake lodge thing except Kayano so I can feed him for drills or when I buy food for him. Kayano is my gourmand, and though I've reached the top tier of that, I've continued buying any food I still need to feed him, plan to feed him every food on the site if I can! :P

We don't even have a wellhouse.. It's literally just all underground. There's a small pipe that you can get to to test the water if need be, though of course, you can always do that at the tap.

I would rather like a storybook type one though haha.

Nope, 12. Although apparently it's 17 and I just can't do math haha. Most of it is just woods, though.

Oh my goodness, yes! I was SO excited to see the remote.. I read it first, next is food.. if I ever get lucky enough to see another one!

I need to vend when I'm done questing, then I think I'll have enough to get one of the last two plushies I need from the crystal shop. Then maybe I'll work on books, if I can keep it up! Foods.. are kind of a last resort thing, though I would eventually like to feed them all.. there's just so MANY that it's definitely not a top priority?

EDIT: Seriously Saggi, lay off the ! the next one..

from Rumi.

Ohhhh I see, I was picturing a storybook well :D it's true it seems like that would be difficult to keep clean though, so better that it's all underground I think.

It hasn't even occurred to me that I could buy crystals before it was mentioned in here either! I think I will focus on getting wearables I like from the crystal shop for now, just because that seems like fun. Appreciate the guidance of "do whatever seems good, no wrong answers" <3

Books, food and minions are all not high priority for me currently. And I wanted to make a pet of mine a gourmand, but I ended up putting her in the resort anyways for now. Prefer not to need to think about hungry pets (although I had enough years on Neo that I know that's just a reality of a pet site!), but once she's out I'll feed her "manually" again, because I agree, it is kind of tempting of a goal to feed one pet EVERYTHING, just because :D

I do think a storybrook well would be kind of fun.. but yes, also a disaster.

Also... let's be honest, I definitely would have fallen into it as a kid. My cousin and I were feral haha.

But yes no, there's definitely no wrong answers! I think it just depends on what you're most interested in at the time. Like, I just need the ONE beanbag left.. but I've been rally focused on the plushies, so there's that. I don't really care about stickers or minions at all, so that definitely knocked some things out!

To get crystals, I normally pull anything out of my shops that's under 2k for fragging.. though I did 5k yesterday and ended up with quite a lot of crystals, which is good because.. there's so much good stuff!

I"m debating the 5k thing I used to frag everything under 5k but I got asked for so many cheaper things for quests and realized the crystals were only 2k-3k that I started only fragging things under 2k every couple of days or so.... but with a LOT of things in the shop - I guess I need to see what I can do to get more crystals or at least figure out if spending the sP is better to just buy the item....but a lot of them are so rare it's better to use crystals!

My dad has 12 acres down in Statesboro. It's all wooded and has a creek. We almost put a house on it years ago, a mobile home (trailer) type. But the house people wanted us to have at least 1 acre in our name for like a security against the mortgage, but my dad didn't' want to split up the property like that. So we didn't do it. I wonder sometimes what he's going to do with the 12 acres when he passes. It's kind of in between me and my one brother in Georgia, distance-wise. But he might leave it to Jon, who is the son he and my momma adopted (they didn't have any biological children together).

EDIT cough cough choke cough Um. Yeah. Research is concluded. Crystals are better. [item2=Zushi] as my example. If I buy the crystals I spend 250k. not 95MIL

I figured a bunch of things will give more than 1 crystal.. and with everything happening right NOW, totally worth it.. to me, anyway haha.

I just did the math, 7500 x2500, and totally worth it to use the crystals.. even if I have to buy them. But I don't want to do that one by one, I'd cry haha.

Oooh yeah, we have a little creek and such. It's in the back.

... mostly it's just swampy, though :P

I went ahead and emptied my cheap shop (5k and under). And took out the cheap (5k and under) items from my other shop too. Fragged them all. Still need WAY more crystals. I have yet to buy any.... Some items, I need two of - that Zushi for example is a food I need to feed Kayano, but I also need one to put in my minion zoo. So I had to buy 2. (I have now bought one).

I went and updated my time log for my student teaching (forgot on Friday) and responded to the discussion board to three people as required. Now I am done with assignments that are currently due. Need to continue working on two (I'm still gathering information during the upcoming week for data) and also need to work on two more philosophy assignments sigh One is a 2-3 page paper, the other is part 2 of the big one for student teaching. I am still dumbfounded on why we have to do more than one philosophy paper. I feel like I am going to plagiarize myself or contradict myself each time I have to do a new one (I've done like 3 so far since I started at Mercer!!)

I simply do not have that many items! Which is definitely a newbie problem, I can see how it would amass over time easily, but I'm currently going into restock shops to grab things to frag :D

Today I watched some anime (I cancelled my Crunchyroll subscription, so it's running out this Summer, and I figure I need to get through my watchlist now) and did not pay my bills. There is still time to do that, but also ew, it's Sunday... this should be something I get paid to do, it's unpleasant enough! (/half-joking)

Kat, I do not envy you the philosophy papers! That sounds like it would mess with the head. I've never had philosophy classes or papers to write, but I talked to people who did, that's what I'm basing that on.

Mieke, swamps are good too! Very important for the ecosystem. I have been to one swamp excursion where we were taught about how it works, it's been a while so I don't remember a ton, but I'm pretty sure there was a thing about how plenty of organisms only survive in swamps and that swamps store a lot of CO2... don't quote me on that! I'm not fact checking myself here haha :)

Oh yes, if you have the time, grabbing cheap things from restocking shops is a great idea to get items to frag!! :) Do you vend? I can shoot you some wizard tokens, and you can vend and frag the cheaper items if you'd like? I don't mind (I have over 50k wiz tokens saved) Anyway, yes - being a new user vs being an older user makes a difference in what you can do for sure! But - as I said before, its still a personal preference on what you do and get!! :)

Wellll.. it's not actually a swamp, just swamp-y haha. Like, just very wet, but it's running water (mostly) so it's slightly different.

I agree, we SHOULD all get paid to pay bills. Or like.. get an extra hour in the day just to do it! But yes, they are pretty neat!

And yes, being here for a while definitely makes things easier! I've been vending to frag for sure.. though Kat, you've got even more tokens than I do!

And yuck, that's just too many philosophy papers!

I reached out to someone to see if they'd be willing to just.. buy me something from the shop instead of buying the crystals one by one, so hopefully they're down for it haha. Because.. I DEFINITELY don't want to do that, I'd just wait until tomorrow to get more.

kumos plus legacy = more tokens daily than I can vend, even if I vended every day. And for a while my shops were so full I could NOT vend every day, even with fragging 2k & under items!! That won't be an issue for a while, as I'll be fragging everything under 5k for - well until the crystal shop runs out of items I want hahaha Because, sure, while those items might sell for more than the crystals, they were still FREE to me (getting them from quests or from vending, which I got wiz tokens from quests, and since I get pure profit sP PLUS items from quests, I consider all the items freebies....)

almost done with drills...then I'll be done with quests for the day. I did NOT do legacy yesterday, just wasn't in the mood, but I did do kumos at least.

Not sure if I'll go read, or try to work on those stupid papers.

Spent my quest gains from the last 2 days to buy that guys crystals to get the 3k items plushie.. now I got all the plushies out of there, since I used mine to buy the schoolgirl plushie.

So now.. on to books, I guess :P Seriously, this was a GREAT restock! It's nice to really have such a goal.

I edited my post a little bit ;)

Sounds like my brothers property. He's south GA tho, and the "wetlands" are protected, so he has to be careful where he builds his house and what he does on his property :/ Eh. Its swampy but not a swamp but still protected land LOL

Done with drills, finished vending (I saved 2 machines (100 vends) for drills) and now to price the shops and yank anything that got price dropped below 5k since last time I priced and whew. Then I'll be done here. Other than spending crystals. Which won't take me much more time since I'm down to around 2k again lol YES! This was an excellent restock. Tho I hate how many items it was. Too many choices!! But a chance to get SO MUCH I needed!!

Yeah, I'm done now. Did legacy and kumos (I skipped both one day last week..), did BQs, vended, fragged, and then did Caliphs Tomb haha.

Now.. I'm basically done with subeta for the day :P

I love and hate how many items it was LOL. BUT! Now, even if they sell out, most of the items will be cheaper too, because while most people buy them to use, not everyone does.. so they'll sell. So that's exciting!
