Lost Desert Plot Discussion #125 (Summary in First Post)

[ladyflame]

I'm currently reading my second set of scrolls (i.e. from the second useless crystal) and I have two green Eyes. Does this mean that the second time I get to that symbol I can skip reading the Blue and Yellow scrolls and go straight to the Green scroll in the location given the first time?

Thanks for your help - I know these things have been asked ad infinitum but I truly appreciate those who take the time to help laggers-behind like myself

I found it safer to read all three just incase something changed. What happens if you skip them and at the end of it you don't get the clue and have to re-do it all?

[Sylence]

fior the first reading set yes.

for the second and third I beleive you have to start reading frmo the set you got yer last clue as to where to go.

[hydruxo]

On Neoitems, someone mentioned that Mysterious Swirly Potion is searchable on the wiz. Do you think this has anything to do with the Mysterious Scroll, or totally unrelated? Just a thought

[ladyflame]

A question please...

1. There are a lot of folks here that seem to have inside connections to the site. Is there anyway they can tell me if the site would look at my mail before the plot ends...and if they would even help?
2. Has anyone heard of anyone else having a glitch in this? And if so, what happened.
3. Can some PLEASE get with me so that I can send them my screen captures, and logic and double check it for me?? I have had a friend do it and she gets the same thing I do (but she is not on this level of the search yet).

Please, please...

Right, not sure about the neo thing but i will swap info if you want.

A question please...

I have gone over and over my tablet and crystal light show, and it always shows up the same. I have checked and checked the colors, scroll rack order, etc. and I still get the same answers for what scrolls in what order, etc. I have checked EVERY rack in the areas I am supposed to go to, in case there was another scroll of that color and symbol there as well..and there isn't. THREE times I have done the second crystals part and every time at the end I get nada for a clue. And again, there is NO combined scroll color for that symbol in the last area. I am completely stumped. I am honestly thinking of writing NeoPets for help but am pretty sure that by the time they got around to even reading it, the plot would be over. My questions are;

1. There are a lot of folks here that seem to have inside connections to the site. Is there anyway they can tell me if the site would look at my mail before the plot ends...and if they would even help?
2. Has anyone heard of anyone else having a glitch in this? And if so, what happened.

Everytime I thought something was wrong, it always turned out to be a simple error.

When our brains have so much to work out, we often overlook the simple things. I had mis-written one of my tablet symbols, which I didn't pick up until I had read through the entire sequence for my white scrolls 3 times.

Okay, here I am back again with stupid questions.

I'm at my third crystal. The instructions confuse me (as always.)

Tell me if I have this right:
I apply my scroll rack colour order to the order of the blanks on my tablet.
Since there are only three colours, the last symbol is left blank and that will be the white one once I get the clue.
I try different combinations of the first three blanks on my tablet.

Is that correct?

Yeah, as it is, that's what I intend to do. I was just hoping that someone would have blazed the trail before me, that's all

IF you have your 3rd Crystal and going for your 4th -

Line up your symbols to the 4 blank spaces in your colours. These will get you the 4 white scrolls.

To get to the white scrolls you need to find all 3 colours (r,y,b) of your symbol, then when you get the right combination you will get a clue to the White Scroll.

You need to try different combinations of colours to get the clue.

If you read the colours in this order: Y-B-R-Y-B-Y-R-B-Y will cover all possible combinations quickly.

Daze - thats why i inported my tablet to excel along with my lights, scrolls racks etc and drew colour coded cirlces around things. Though that didnt stop the pant devil . . i think you can not win with this plot!!

Yes, sorry, that's what it is.

Understood.

To get to the white scrolls you need to find all 3 colours (r,y,b) of your symbol, then when you get the right combination you will get a clue to the White Scroll.

Not quite understood. My symbols by order of the tablet are Ahn, Tep, Fer, Saf. Do I try Yellow Ahn+Red Ahn+Blue Ahn etc and so on for each symbol?

I just have a problem figuring this out because there are four symbols, and three colours.

When you say: THREE times I have done the second crystals part and every time at the end I get nada for a clue - Do you mean you are going for your 2nd crystal or you have it, and are going for the 3rd?

If you are going for your 2nd Crystal, you need: to have a look at your Useless Crystal to see what order the 3 colours are in - this is the colour order you read the scrolls in.

If you are going for your 3rd Crystal, and you're deciding which scroll of the pair to read first, go in order of the colours of your new Catalogue Card order. For example: If your catalog order is RBY and your working on an orange pair, read the red scroll before the yellow scroll.

What you will do for example with Ahn:

Read Yellow Ahn, then Blue Ahn, then Red Ahn, then Yellow Ahn etc until your pet says a scroll location instead of that they've learned something

Sorry for the bad spelling

Look at your catalogue, and first find the red Ahn and read it, then blue Ahn, then yellow. If that doesn't work, read it in abother order.

So read them like this:
RBY
YRB
BYR
RYB
BRY
YBR

until it gives the location of where to find the White Ahn.
Read that, then do the same for Tep etc.

Also, if you read RBY, you don't need to read the Yellow in the 2nd set

Thank you, now I finally get it. And then once I've found the Ahn combo, I get a location for a white Ahn scroll...which I read...and move to my next symbol. Right? And when I've read all four whites I get the fourth crystal.

*does a little jig* Thank you very much for your help.

There is no set combination of colour order to find your white scroll.

There are 6 combinations of RYB that can be made, one of those combinations will give you a clue to the white scroll.

You read all of the RYB scrolls corresponding to your 1st symbol and get a clue to the white scroll, then read all of the next combinations on your next symbol, etc until you have worked through all 4 symbols.
