Neopets Gloats and Cries [Split 3]

[Siniri]

Pickles, that's a crazy number of trophies and avatars. Congrats!

I recently finally upgraded my Food Club trophy to gold after losing out twice on it due to traveling. I've been working on this upgrade for years, so it feels amazing!

[Blue]

Congrats, Siniri!!

Gloat: Won 15k and a Jelly Muffin at the Fruit Machine

[Pickles]

Congrats again on the food club gold, Siniri!! I know you've been after it forever!

Gloat:
Last month I picked up 9 new trophies and upgraded several others. 7 gold (4 upgrades), 2 silver (1 upgrade) and 5 bronze
It should've been an even 10 new, but one of the ones I was set to get on the 2nd, I lost out on because trophies didn't run and I was bumped off right before they ran on the 3rd. Ah well.

Gloat: 5k at Buried Treasure (390,431)

[Daze]

Slowly working my way through all the avatars I need. Finally got the Fishing-Titanic Squid at fishing lvl 90.

[Pickles]

Cry: 74 days of spinning the Wheel of Extravagance, down just about 4 mil neopoints, and no avvie. Oh, and the same number of days of trying King Skarl twice a day for the Court Jester avvie, and no luck there either. Gah, I hate randoms!!

[Siniri]

11/23: Good luck with those avvies, Pickles. The King Skarl one, you can just refresh after your first submission. That one took me years (though not as long as WoK). I was so glad to drop it as a daily after I finally got it.

I got a faerie queen quest for just over 7k from my cookie. With the 3 HP from the lab today, that was 8 HP for Grainne. Only 75 levels to go until I can start training her again... I've gotten so lazy about training lately, zapping her will probably actually get her there faster, anyway.

12/1 Edit: I just got +2 HP for Grainne on the Coincidence. 70 more to go until I can start training again. (Her level is at 409... So I've kind of given up on that going down enough, especially since Deadly Dice is 3am for me, and I'm never giving up that avvie unless it becomes a more reasonable time.) Bonus: She's no longer an ickle blue Xweetok. A yellow Cybunny is much more pleasant to look at.

[Pickles]

Still haven't managed any luck with either of the avvies previously mentioned, HOWEVER.

BIG GLOAT: Just dropped quite a chunk of change for an item for my gallery that I have been trying hard to obtain for years. (It's retired and thus hard to get a hold of). While it may not be the most expensive item I have on my gallery wishlist, it was definitely up there.


ETA: Gloat!!!

"You found an Avatar! Yay!"
...98 spins and 5,470,095 nps of loss later.
NEVER. SPINNING. WHEEL OF EXTRAVAGANCE. AGAIN.

[Blue]

Wow! Congrats, Pickles. That is probably the most expensive avatar you've ever achieved?

[Pickles]

Wow! Congrats, Pickles. That is probably the most expensive avatar you've ever achieved?

Eh, technically there's one that's set at 10 mil (Grimoire of Affluence). I haven't bought it yet, as I'm planning on waiting until a discounted Wednesday for it. Or getting lucky enough for one of the REs that give you discounts.
And we're not even going to talk about the stamp avatars. Or the "Big Three" item ones. I've been lucky enough to borrow two of those now. Still have to do the Pea one...eventually.

However, most expensive AND annoying? Definitely. (I'm thinking that the title of most annoying will go to Court Jester. If and when I ever get it.)

[Blue]

Gloat: I just won a Pirate Draik Morphing Potion at Anchor Management!

Sell on TP for ~300k or use it on MyPet #3?

[Siniri]

The lab has been steadily taking away level from Grainne, and she's now trainable at 2 codestones again (right at 399). Her HP are already at 1137, so I'll continue to lab and zap until she's untrainable again.

[Blue]

Gloat: 10k at the Forgotten Shore today

[Siniri]

Good afternoon, sir or madam. It seems we may have made a slight error with your account. Nothing to worry about, though; everything is just fine now. We've even reset your daily interest for today, so please stop on by to collect it. Please accept this Virtupets Toaster with our compliments.

A very nice surprise, especially combined with the bank boon!

Edit: Won 5k at Buried Treasure (http://www.neopets.com/pirates/buriedtr ... ml?279,349)

Edit2: It's Grainne's birthday, so I snagged an endurance cupcake for her. (She's got several of these saved up in the SDB -- I plan to wait to use them until she's at the max codestone training level, to get the most bang for her buck... Which means Neo will probably die before I get around to using them...)

Edit3: Congratulations! Your wish has really come true! That donation of 21 NeoPoints you made to the Neopian Wishing Well was worth it, because you have been granted the following item : Neopets 16th Birthday Goodie Bag . (That'll help make up for all the NP I've been spending on quest items...)

[Pickles]

Won 5k, 1k, nothing, then 20k at buried treasure here. (If I win something, I keep the same location until I lose twice in a row.)

Also, I finally managed to pick up the gold trophy for Illusen. Whew!
