Okay, guys, want to help me with a decision? I'm torn. So I have two pets. One's a high level battle pet that could always use more intelligence points. I've read about 500 books to that pet. Another pet is my "librarian/archivist" character, who has read almost 800 books and is currently "in charge" of the reading achievement high scores. I meant, at one point, to have had this pet read all the books I could get ahold of, corresponding to his character.

But it's expensive to buy two copies of every book for both pets. Should I go back to my battle pet for the "reading books" achievement, or continue reading to my librarian?

It probably is related to a filter glitch, since it didn't start happening until the plot greyscale overlays. Oh well, at least it looks like we've got all our clothes now! The strangest part for me was that it ate different items of clothing on different people. I...it's so confusing.

Amen to that. Some weeks it isn't worth even going into work, and yet, they keep expecting us to. Jerks.

I hope your workload's easing up!

Hello yourself! How are you?

Congrats on your goal! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT

And ahead of the deadline even. high fives

Oh wow. That's amazing. Congratulations! shiny eyes

Thank you, I'm surprised myself! :D Still haven't sold that damn ram rack though. :P

It is certainly an expensive option, but are your pets changable at all? You could always name nameswap your librarian pet onto your battle pet's stats :)? Thank you for the congrats!

Thank you!

Oh lol I completely forgot that was even an option! That could work, except the librarian wouldn't ever be a fighter. I think I've metaphorically painted myself into an expensive corner. xD I'm thinking 800 books is pretty good, though, so maybe I can switch back to the battle pet and just...go with it. It's not like anyone will see the stats with the overlay anyway.

I just checked my second battle pet who I horrifically neglect and he has read 613 books so it can't be toooo bad to read them both up to like 1k maybe? It's event season pretty soon so there will be tons of new ones coming out hopefully :D

I'm so looking forward to event season and all the books that will arrive. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT WHEEEEEE

Yeah, it's not too bad, I just wish I could use a second Cobalt Eternal scroll. I'm just a cheap butt, I guess! 1k is a nice round number, though, I was thinking that too. :3

Stock up on intel boosters and use mystic spindles for intel exp since books retroactively give you the alchemy points for scrolls?

I've thought about that, but I still can't get my head around the fact that you need like one book every 16 or so booster/spindle intelligence points or...you don't get your AP. I've never really understood it and it seems odd to me, but yeah.

I guess I'm regretting not having one pet Do All The Things. xD

They changed it so that you don't have to do it every 16 books.

Wait, wait, what? So booster intel and book intel isn't dependent on each other any more?

WHAAAAAT? THIS IS AWESOME

Do you remember where that was mentioned? Probably not, lol. Most of the cool stuff that happens happens in the obscure out of the way threads that no one ever sees.

I had to to hunt for the announcement just to make sure I wasn't telling you the wrong thing :P

It was in the BC chat thread:

Hi hi! Very good, thanks! You? :D

Oh you're my hero. That's fantastic and also hooray. BRB digging out all the intelligence boosters I own.

Ah, doing okay today, thanks!

Haha, you're welcome.

My online status means nothing though. I probably haven't spend 3 hours on subeta in 2 weeks :s I just check here, do shinwa and leave again.

I wake up at 6 to go to my course and i'm home 11 hours later at 5pm. Then I cook, train the dog, clean, study, walk the dog and sleep. Repeat the day after.

WOHOO Congratulations!

HA. I can guarantee I'm not reaching my wearable sprint goal now. BUT on the other hand, I now finally have the Crown of the Royals. :D

You did a "minor" slip up for your goal? :o Are you using it for battling or just for in your wardrobe?

I still need to sprint for my wardobe goal sigh 80 more wears I think. Today is the first time in more than 2 weeks where i can sit down for more than 10 minutes to quest. Quest = money = wears.

, nah, I already hit my sP goal. But there's no way I'm getting another 75 wears for my wardrobe by Sept 1st, especially since I just spent 250m on ONE item instead of, you know, multiple.

And it's languishing in my wardrobe. XD Almost all my weapons sit there.

How much are wears for you now by average? :o Damn 250mil for 1, and here I am complaining about 30k a piece. By the way, any chance I could borrow your crown sometime for the achievement? (needless to say I got 250mil to use as collat)

14 wears to go until I can ping goal reach. Time to do a few more quests and get over with it.

[edit] 10 minutes later: You've earned the Filled Wardrobe achievement!

Goal of 13.5k reached!

Only now the impossible goal left of another 156mil in 10 days.

woohoo! way to go hon!
