Lost Desert Plot Discussion #34 (Split- Summary in 1st Post)

It says something like "Wow, it sure is shi..."

Heh, I just hope it's not talking about the war prize.

"Wow, it sure is shi#%..."

That was my first thought when I noticed it too. Great minds, Elric. Great minds.

[Elric]

Johnny, the scroll you understand has to be the last scroll you've read before you can find your phrase in the repository.

Yeah, great minds DO think alike. When I was reading the banner the first time, that's what came to mind.

Someone on the boards has made a breakdown of stats: ( I have edited it slightly)
Agility: 0-30 every 3 hours
Agility: 31-45 every 2.5 hours
Agility: 46-60 every 2 hours
Agility: 61-80 every 1.5 hours
Agility: 81-150 every hour
above 150 every halfhour

Does this suit the stats better?

My pet has 79 but I only need to wait 1 hour...

Knowing TNT, you're probably closer than you think. The prizes have never been that good, unless there's only one in Neopia, and then some staff member gets it, or whoever gets it gets immediately frozen. Plot status for me: still trying to find that statue...I found it before I started mapping, as I didn't know that it was set, I thought the tomb was random at first. Oh well, still have most of the appropriate rooms mapped...

I've been following up the plot, done my map, got all the pieces, got the prophecy, and just a few minutes ago finally found my statue on the last of the 12 doors I had to check... to find out that she didn't accept my prophecy, that I copied and pasted. My statue has a Ra symbol on the feet and I'm refraining to do anything more until I can go to the statue again.

What have I done wrong?

Have you understood your statue symbol's scroll?

In other words have you read the scroll with your statue symbol on it?

Sometimes when you copy and paste, you get a space in front of the first word. Spaces are counted as characters, so it makes the prophecy wrong.

As I've posted, not yet, I'm expecting to first have an answer from my statue.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yeah. If that doesn't work check the end..sometimes it will put some blank spaces at the end of it. That apparently was what caused me some trouble with mine.

Actually, you need to do that before you give the prophecy. Otherwise it won't work. That's why you aren't getting an answer from your statue.

Thanks, the good point of it is that the library where the Ra scroll is is right a left/right arrow click of my entrance

*Update*

"Your pet understands the scroll and gains a little insight"

Whohoo! Thanks!

I am pretty sure you do not need to read the scroll before visiting the Statue. I cannot remember in what order I did mine, but it is not written anywhere that you must read a scroll first before giving the prophecy to Nuria.

The only reason we need to understand the scroll is to get into the repository.

Please correct me, if I am mistaken in this.

My Irl buddy also plays Neopets and couldn't get the right option at the scoll repository. So I sent him off to read the scroll that matched the base of his statue, his options then changed when he went back to the scroll repository. Matched him up with the one he should say and viola, he's carrying sand.

I think the scroll that matches your statue has to be the last scroll you read for it to work.

Yup I hadn't read my statue symbol scroll until after I'd done all the prophecy stuff at the statue. I only needed to read it to get into the repository.
