Lost Desert Plot Discussion #121 (Summary in First Post)

[Casi]

ok i got through to the step where you fall into a spike trap. but no matter what i do i can't get the new crystal is there some trick to it. i tried like four times but the crystal just doesn't show up

did you read any scrolls after you got the sharp eye message? If you did, you need to do that over before you can get the crystal in the spike trap.

Question: I'm on my second crystal, if I get the sequence wrong do I have to start again with the 1st sequence?
A bit paranoid here, I had to do it 3 times before getting it right...

quick question:

has anyone followed the following logic for color order on the whtie scrools:

do it in order they appear on your repo.

E.g. if you have a tep, and your blue repo has tep at the top, red repo has tep in hte middle, and yellow repo has tep second to bottum, you read them blue red yellow. If you then have fer, and blue has fer 8th, red has fer 6ths, and yellow has fer 7ths, you read red yellow blue

I've checked this with my own combinations, but sadly enough, this logic won't work either... I think it's safe to say that it's completely random, which figures, since TNT probably wanted to make every step a little bit harder than the last one.

no. once you complete a sequence that one is safe. Just redo the sequence you messed up on.

Thanks I hope I'll be able to do it right first time...

You could if you wish.. but keep in mind that it's going to end soon.

[royal_lemon]

Yeah I know, but would I have time?

[stampsyne]

I helped somebody get started in thier temple and they finished thier tablet in 12 hours. Took most of the next day finding thier faerie door and then reading the scroll. That evening was able to tell the prophecy, get scarabed, and get thier crystal. If memory serves.

If you are willing to dedicate at ton of straight computer time, it is theoretically possible to get caught up. It's just not very plausible or practical.

Also, even if this is going to be be finsihed soon, TNT will keep it open to let people finish (and making those who have wait for thier prizes) for at least another week I would think.

[royal_lemon]

Ok
First of all, I don't know how to find my statue. I dont understand the maps

[TopsyTourny]

I would seriously consider skipping this plot.

[royal_lemon]

Ok.... I kinda agree;)

Ok.... I kinda agree;)

I think it's possible, like Stamp said, to finish the plot in two days or about 15 hours, depending on how much luck you have when finding your faerie door and the right trap. But I think the plot probably won't end till probably Friday or so (although you can never be sure of that of course). However, TNT has promised us a reward system that took all steps we had done into account, so if you start, you'll probably still get some kind of reward. And if you can finish your tablet, you'll automaticall get an avatar.
I think we'll all gladly help you through it all if you want, with this plot dragging on for over two months, we've all become experts at it without even realizing it

ive posted some screenshots of my tablet, my light sequence, my crystal and my directory at http://abused.ca/ldp

this is what i have done so far

according to my tablet and the light sequence, i get Blat Yset Ynem Xahn Xben Xsaf Rsaf Xdjo Rsaf Bfer Rlat Rset Yfer Yahn Bsaf and Bnem. and according to my crystal, it should be Y R B so i clicked on Yset Ynem Yfer Yahn Rsaf Rsaf Rlat Rset Yset Ynem Yfer and finally Yahn and i should get the sharp thingie message right? or i have done something wrong in the process?

I suppose you mean B in stead of Y the four last times?

And I've discovered what you're doing wrong... You're reading them in tablet order in stead of catalogue order. So the yellow ones should be:

y nem
y ahn
y set
y fer

I can't give you the other sequences since your catalogues aren't complete in the screenshot, but I think you'll be able to figure the rest out yourself
