Scroll specialist...I missed two steps according to my trophy.

[WockyChocky]

whoo hoo.

like a lot of people here, I got exactly 179,300 pts.

(I missed the 2 fake things near the end, and never "understood library scroll". Explains why I was confused the whole time.)

Now we can figure out what each step was worth.

I've got my eye on the Anubis Toxicology Reports (Abridged).

[Asparagus Queen]

Completed Qasalan Hieroglyph Click Sequence (Fake)
Clicked on the comic hieroglyphs in the incorrect order to reveal a "fake" prophecy.

Spoke "Fake" Second Prophecy - Mountain of Scarabs!
Spoke the "fake" second prophecy to the statue of Nuria.


I missed those two steps. I don't remember those steps while we were doing it.

Edit: has anyone bought the two battle rings? (The royal wedding ring, and the ring of the lost? stats on those?)

WOOT! 184,300points for me! I have to thank everyone here who helped get me past the insanity of Anubis Toxicology reports and waiting for my light for over 3 days. Sucks that the furniture moving we we so sure would count for something, didn't. The blocks and sand went by so quickly.

All of the trophies are pretty, but I wonder if our Razul weapons will be fixed soon if at all?

oooooh.....i want to know what those rings do! i can't decide what to buy. how long do you think we can wait before redeeming our prizes?

[Ledi]

Yeah, I got 179,300 points too. Now I just don't know what to get... I can get the ring of the lost, but I'm not a battler... >.< So I think I'll wait until someone finds out what the BD items do....

Hehe... 10 piles of sand and 4 blocks. By the time I got to the blocks there weren't many left on the floor, and I never had the time to go back.

Missed out on the fake prophecy, as I think most people who used the wonderful guide at PPT did.

[dolphinling]

Okay.

So judging by the number of people who got various scores, I'm pretty sure 189,300 was the score for if you did everything, and 179,300 was the score for if you missed the two fake things at the end.

There were also various Speed Bonuses, for being the first (or one of the first few) to complete something. They were probably 5k points each. This explains my 214,300 (I got 5 speed bonuses) and the other scores above 189,300 I've seen have all been in groups of 5k, too.

The highest score I've seen is 229,300. There may be higher, though.

[Ledi]

Congrats on your score, Dolphinling. Does that mean you got the uber-pretty trophy?

[Mongrel]

Welp, I got me 38,800 points. Not bad, considering I got confused and gave up after the first crystal(still on it, too!). I'm going to buy a book and pick up the cheapies with my leftover points, wait for other people to buy their plot prize stuff, then buy it cheap in the next two weeks--especially the books, because those are one-use items and will rise fast in price. That Anubis Toxicology Reports book will be mondo-expensive in the future. And one day, perhaps I'll have that beauteous Royal Wedding Ring.

And YAY FOR PAINT BRUSH PRICE DEFLATION!

[Skynetmain]

Qasalan Archaeologist - 189,300 points. Not too shabby Time for a spending spree.

[Asparagus Queen]

Does anyone else find it funny that after moving all that sand, we can go buy more?

[bettywales]

I came into it late (joined in October, took a few weeks for me to figure
out I was supposed to DO something!), but still managed Desert Scarab
with 21,800 points. Can you buy more than one of an object in the shop?
As it is, I'm coming out uneven. Unless, of course, I buy 16 handfuls of
sand.

[Jasujo]

Lol. I was hoping something was going to be done with the sand so I could offload the 41 handfuls I have for a profit. I was sick the day the sand stopped and people cashed in on it.

[WockyChocky]

Does anyone else find it funny that after moving all that sand, we can go buy more?

I just checked, the wiz price of a handful of sand just dropped to about 30 nps.
