10 wins? Are you trying to insult me? ;)

after KT and Dameon both had more losses than what is showing. For some reason when you forfeit the battle, it isn't counting as a loss -- or even as a battle.

I live in MN, and whatever you've heard... It's much worse.

You Won! You have defeated Crithbolcan Nightmarium earned 3500 EXP Points! Head back to the Battle Quest headquarters to finish up this quest! Because this was level 30 you earned 3500 experience!

BQ done. :)

Yeah, thanks! ;) I used only the battle experience points because I'm hoarding the boosters for the T13.

I would be really excited if we were getting things to beat up. :) Site events are always fun. Just more fun when there is something to challenge in the battle center. :P

So January didn't go so well.. 30/31 days done of BQs, because Subeta kept crashing and my patience had run out that one day... (there was more to it so it wasnt all the crashings fault.)

Either way.... let's see if Feb can be better.

Oh but I did get a new weapon so... things were not all doom and gloom.

Hi all!

So I've been taking a bit of a break. I'm still visiting the site every day, but not doing a lot of the more repetitive things which means it's been a few days since I last did any BQs. None of this is new to me, as this is how I've been doing Subeta for years and why Galaxielle is still only T11. :D

You Won! You have defeated Moradon Izyi earned 1500 EXP Points! Because this was level 20 you earned 1500 experience!

Yeah! This is the first time I beat level 20! Anything above is still way to strong for my T8, but yay for progress :D

Good morning battlers :D

Thank You for bringing me back my item! To thank you, here is a reward. Reward: 15 Point Wizard Token AND Your pet Tziety gains 6 HP! AND 856sP!

good job beating level 20! You'll be able to advance soon if you keep at it! :D Also, keep at it! As your pet grows, don't be afraid to try new challengers during BQ (even if only level 20 challengers for a while), you'd be surprised to see Izyi start doing progress against them ;)

Battle Quests done for today. That's 2 for 2 in February. Maybe this will be a good month for BQs.

- your turn again.

Yes, there was a lot of battling at the end of last year. And I''m sure your great guide took a lot of work as well.

I know you will get your ME whenever the next Gelatin War happens. And you can always borrow a Gelatin Slayer if you need one for anything special. You probably have better options anyhow since it has no heal except when fighting Gelatins. Still - it is a nice weapon to have handy (at least it still helps for Tos and Tharg).

Hmmm - the Unstable Snow Fairy is from an old Luminaire plot, is she supposed to return yearly?

- no I would never want to insult you - or Killer Threat - or even your ferrets. :-) I just go through the thread and comment as I come across posts so it was a response to the post where you mentioned getting to ten. I did sort of notice later that you did some more battling but then you also ran into all the site lag, so I didn't think to change my post to you (sorry). Congrats to KT on his 17 wins and to Dameon on his 10 wins as well. :-)

- you're welcome!

That makes sense to save your boosters for T13. It's such a big tier to get through, I'm sure it will help to have a little head start. :-)

- nice job battling Hoarfrost and earning those Freezing Eye of Royalty Crystals.

- wow - you're so hard on yourself. 26 (or30)/31 days of doing BQs in January is really great. We're all entitled to a day off or a break now and then. It's not like the Bathhouse, you don't have to start all over again if you miss a day. I think you should give yourself more credit for all the things you do and all the work you put in to do them.

Oh - and congratulations on your new weapon! Which one did you add?

- hi, nice to see you. Subeta and battling are supposed to be about having fun (it's a game site, after all) so if you like taking breaks, that's exactly what you should do. Still good to have you drop in to say hello. Hope you're enjoying whatever it is you're spending time on.

- congratulations! It's so exciting to beat a boss level of BQs for the first time. And so much fun to look back and see the progress you've made. And don't worry, your T8 will be getting wins above that level soon.

In fact, you might be able to beat Cursed Effigy the Tormented with the right battle set - MrCool advice about Cursed Effigy and also The Gate Keeper (if not now, then soon!) - MrCool advice about The Gate Keeper.

Meanwhile - great job beating Moradon and completing Level 20!

all done ;)

You Won! You have defeated Crithbolcan Tziety earned 3500 EXP Points! Head back to the Battle Quest headquarters to finish up this quest!

I am actually looking forward another Gelatin War because I want to try my luck against the Gelatin Wizard (I need the Gelatin Concoction!), and am also looking forward to see how many less battles I need for Tziety to reach 5m DMG :D

I know the Unstable Snow Fairy returned is from a 2012 plot, but she was available as a seasonal challenger on 2015 and 2016, so I assumed it would return on 2017 as well :(

Thank you. :) Congrats on starting off the month with finishing your BQs! Keep it up!

Ah but I am a little hard on myself because I failed a goal.... wanted to do a full month's worth of BQs lol I was so close! :p

Is the weapon. I know I could have waited but I had some funds handy and figured I would get a semi decent water blocker for the time being.

- good job finishing those BQs. Somehow I beat you to it again. :-) Usually you are done first.

Yes, I need the Gelatin Concoction too, although it will be awhile before Tos can use the Maniacal Essence (one reason why the Gelatin Slayer is still helpful). Those Wizards were just too hard for her to get to ten wins last time.

Well, I know Tziety will grow in skill before the next Gelatin War, but remember, that giving out a core for getting 5 million in damage was likely a one time event. Usually they're only awarded to the top battlers in the boss battle, so it's a competition to get one. That's part of why everyone was so determined to take advantage of the opportunity.

Ah, I see. Well, maybe she will show up again this year then.

- thank you, I need to work on that so I can support my BQ partner.

If you never fail to reach your goals, then they are probably not hard enough. Goals are to motivate us to do better and you did great. And not quite making it means that you can just try again and keep improving.

Nice purchase. I did look at it, but I had just recently bought a when it came out. No heal, but it's usable at T8 and has a chance to freeze, so I'll be using that as my water blocker for now. Water blockers are really useful so I'm sure you'll enjoy having it. And you can always use it as a pretty background if you ever replace it. :-)

I woke about 30 minutes late :P But not only that, but since I joint-do them with Wiz & Saggi quests, they take longer to complete, but I force myself to quest that way ;)

Plus it was faster ending BQ at level 25-26 (average) than on 30, but now finishing them on 30 is more fun ;P

I just finished ALL my quests though, and only got 3 amulets off quentin, meh :( And it's only 11 am! P What am I to do with the rest of the day? :P

I think I only managed 5 wins against the Wizards can't remember I already have a Core, so worst case scenario that I don't get it, I can still combine mine with the concoction to get ME ^_^ Obviously, I'll try my hardest :D

- that's true - and it is important to quest too. Even so, you almost always get done before I do since I do all my regular questing first.

Well that's certainly true, you are beating new challengers who might take longer. My BQs are getting to be faster again. Tos doesn't have too much trouble with anyone up to Level 25, so as long as I don't have to fight the pesky squirrel, they're not so bad.

Glad that finishing BQs at 30 is fun for you. That helps make up for the extra time.

Wow - I always am thrilled if I get 3 amulets from Quentin. I think 2 is about average for me. Of course, with a gold account active, you are doing more quests than I am too. I haven't done any Quentin quests yet, maybe I should go do them.

I'm sure you'll find something fun to do! You're sort of halfway through the day part of the day already. LOL Maybe some more of your videogaming?

Yes, it makes it so much easier when you already own a core. I know many top battlers tried for many years to get one before they managed it. We have been very lucky in that regard. I have no idea what they will do about giving them out next year. They've sort of already said not to expect a repeat, but I don't think they'll go back to all day long boss battling either, so we'll just have to wait and see. They've done such a good job making boss battling more reasonable and more fun both, so I look forward to whatever comes next.

I have more fun with the last 5 challengers of BQ than in the first 25 levels :P You're doing pretty good with Tos as well! :D Hope the pesky sql gets easier for you soon :)

If I recall correctly, I normally get 4-5, but since it's been too long since I did all quests, things could've been tweaked (or maybe I had been lucky those times?)

I am getting some battles in with FairyTale (T4) before losing myself to the videogame lol

You have defeated Pock, Saper and Riscors 10 times! You have defeated Technicant 10 times! You have defeated Willowisp 10 times!

All done with Easy challengers with FT!

Is the next Gelatin War next year, or this year? :P I hope it's this year, but it could very well be every other year and I wouldn't even know LOL

ME TOO!!! I am NOT enjoying getting frozen and all the other shenanigans. And I don't really like having to count his Psycho Smashers since it makes me notice how many battles I lose before I manage to win one. That really is my biggest problem with him. I sort of get vested in each battle as I count which somehow makes it more frustrating to lose, even though I know going in that I will be losing a bunch. Oh well, like all the other challengers, he'll be much easier one day ... and then some other one will be the current pain. :-)

Makes sense that you have the most fun with the challengers that are somewhat challenging to beat. I don't have much fun beating Buttwing Bomber. :-)

Well, it could also be my usual lack of luck with RNG things. I try not to notice too much and hope it all averages out - although I confess I do get excited when I get more than my normal. :-)

Go FT! Good job FairyTale.

I don't think there is a known answer. We don't have Gelatin Wars every year, but it's not always every other year either. So we just wait and see when it happens.

I just got my first loss for FairyTale... against Big Banner LOL

I think it was (or was it ?) who suggested that if GE froze me on the first turn, to withdraw and try again. Mods suggestions included Critical Strike Tear Crystal, Parched Baguette Crystal x2, and Blessing of Natural Armor Tear Crystal... it was for PBB

And I know it was who gave me this advice against GE, hope it helps you too :)

Weapons
Prodigy Staff; Replica Minotaur Knocker; Rapier of Error; UltimaPlus Tag; Intricate Energized Helmet; Reviver of the Lion; Phoenix Quill; Flayed Lord Breastplate</p>
<p>Scrolls:
Divine Denizhen; Morosbane; Cobalt Eternal; Sancturia Exodin; Inferno; Perilous Whirlpool x5
Well my scroll set has actually been updated to Aftershocks, Cobalt, Psycho Smasher and Perilous Whirlpool x6 instead but those were the things I used when I first beat him. Here&;s my stats when I got the first win:
HP (3270) St (1629) Df (1529) Sp (1387)
In your case you can use your full block to replace the Flayed Lord Breastplate instead. Try to freeze him first turn and set up your blessing before turn 3. If you can&;t get your blessing up then, just heal your health to full then forfeit the battle. It might take a few tries the first time but you&;ll get fewer forfeits when you battle with him more.

[edit] You Won! You have defeated Big Banner 10 times! You earned 485 sP for beating Big Banner! FairyTale earned 225 EXP Points!

Phew that was hard! 6 losses & times I had to go and heal myself fighting against Buttwinger (15x because not all fights ended with a full heal lol)

- well, Tos is well below those stat totals and has already gotten wins on General Error (she's an even build with 1647 health and strength, 1645 defense and 1640 speed right now). Right before the reset, Tos managed 3 wins, 1 tie, and 75 losses while she was still T9. And Tos only has 3 scrolls - Aftershocks GoTF, and Shriek (1 each) - she doesn't have the AP for more yet. I think her first win against GE in BQs was actually with just the first two scrolls before she earned her Shriek and I raised her AP so she could use it. Sometimes I forfeit if I get frozen, but sometimes I actually survive a one round freeze so every once in a while, I just let it go. The trick with GE is to outlast his Psycho Smasher scrolls. So I have to count as he uses them. After they're gone he is much easier to beat. But I rarely outlast them even using AoN because those full blockers only have 1 mod slot each so it's hard to get or keep up a Parched Blessing. If I get lucky with the blessing, then I have a reasonable chance.

As far as weapons, I found it was more important to use the weapons that I have two parched baguettes on as much as possible, so I use my Blessed Trident and Shinwas Short Sword plus AoN, STS, Phoenix Quill, UltimaPlus Tag (heal plus an extra chance to freeze) and Deluxe Death Shard and Recycle Blaster. I don't usually bother with the helmet since it only really gives me a one turn reprieve (we're both frozen turn two) but DDS also does some damage which I prefer. I find it lots harder to get a parched blessing to activate against GE versus using the same weapons and mods against other challengers, but maybe it just feels that way to me.

Good job getting those 10 wins against Big Banner with FairyTale (I love that name!).

Sounds like you created your own personalized strategy against GE , and it seems to work fine as long as the blessings activate. Don't give up, you can only get better as Tos' build goes up ;)

And thank you! Those wins were hard, i don't have a lot of good weapons for FairyTale (I love her name too! ❤️), but I do what I can with what I have :D

I'll keep Auto-Training her, and battles will eventually get easier :D I'm in no rush though :D
