At least you got lucky there. I am locked out of Shinwa because I did all 15 of my wizard quests yesterday.

Ah so very sorry. Duly noted for next time though. Thank you.

turned in 11 amulets and got 2 tomes

Thanks for posting that, I thought maybe they went back to the old way and wasn't sure how to find out.

Oh No! You have 19 Hours, 52 minutes, and 25 seconds remaining until you can do another Shinwa Quest!

Shinwa isn't showing as re-set for me either u_u; I guess it's whether it's been 24 hours since you last did yours?

Shinwa: in 45 minutes

really... the one day we want a reset :(

Ok, splurged and bought the amulets. This is what I got

and I got 5 tomes. Not too bad. I'm going to need the extra stats.

Your opponent's Singed Tome of Fire managed to steal your Tainted Keeper Skull Staff.

sneaky bugger.

You have defeated The Mage 1 time! You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop!

The Mage drops:

You earned 25000 sP for beating The Mage! Eightball earned 3875 EXP Points!

I was able to beat him one time, not too bad, got two amulets. The second time though, he is a lot tougher. I got him down to about 10k hp and all of a sudden he healed back to full hp of 27.5k hp and stole my Cronus Blade, which is my strongest weapon. Not an easy guy to beat. He doesn't seem to like it when you use shards on him. Was able to freeze him when I used the darkness shard, Cronus & Swashbuckle.

all ten ones right, you don't need the rainbow one correct?

Correct.

Yay, new challenger to unlock ^^ Can't beat him yet, but more motivation to train harder. Boo: quests did not reset, which means no BQ for now. Hope they will be reset soon.

Congrats on the unlocks and wins everyone

Ugh! Turned in 11 amulets after the news came out - got all shards and now I have to start collecting again :(. Is there a way to turn in all amulets at once now?

i turned them in one after another and got him as a challenger on the 10th/last amulet

The Mage challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum! -x- got him as well :D

Thanks! That's good to know! Congrats, btw!

No bonuses from jobs Healing wine from Shinwa - finally something good from her 1 amulet - 1 shard

No complaints as I got 5 tomes when I turned in the amulets for The Mage challenger and did get a visit from the Oracle. All-in-All good day.

Shinwa has been reset now again (I guess I can get her twice today) I did do my Shinwa quest right at midnight yesterday, so I guess it would have been a full 24 hours for me to get her reset.

Well, time to try to get some of those new amulets from Quentin. Ice and wind are the only ones I am missing.
