Quests & Challenges

[center]I've been saving for a few months now, but I think it's high time I made a thread for myself - maybe I can locate a seller in advance! I'm hoping to acquire [I]one Kickstarter familiar[/I]. I'm in the market for any of them, though my personal order of preference is thus: [item=bone fiend] >> [item=skycat] = [item=golden idol] > [item=cog frog] However, to my knowledge, the Bone Fiend is more expensive than the rest, and I probably won't be seeing him any time soon. Still! Most of my money comes from selling coliseum food, extra loot, festival currency, g1s, and the occasional investment.

[center]Whoa-ho, we're halfway there... [quote=3/1 Savings][b]80,634g[/b] 53.8% of 150,000g[/quote] Trickmurk was [I]very[/I] good to me... I think this might have been the second most profitable fest I've ever had, coming behind Brightshine 2018. Popular apparel, good drops, and I ground up to eleven, coming out with a ton of food and Swipp materials to peddle. Feeling really good moving forward; reaching the halfway point on the familiar was a huge milestone I've been working up towards for months, and it's incredibly motivating being on the upper half of this kind of goal.

[center]Guess I'm just doing these on xx9s now. [quote=3/9 Savings][b]86,228g[/b] 57.5% of 150,000g[/quote] Not as lucrative a span as last time, but pretty much nothing gets as good as [I]that[/I] - fest weeks are Flight Rising's bonus rounds - and I'm not complaining with this haul. I wasn't as active this week and didn't raise [I]that[/I] much food, but I sold a good number of NOTNs and converted some treasure to gems, and the upcoming dom battle promises to be good for my coffers.

[center][quote=3/19 Savings][b]91,763g[/b] 61.2% of 150,000g[/quote] Living in weird times right now. Certainly good times to grind, but... well, let's just say my head hasn't really been in the game. Starting to run out of certain NOTN stocks - emerald forejewels, solar tail ribbons, dread dancer hindcallouses. Low on ruby forejewels as well. Still have hearty stocks of several other apparel pieces, so that part of my income won't die off for a while. Still, looking forward to Mistral Jamboree on Sunday, even if I suspect it's going to end up overground.

[center][quote=3/29 Savings][b]104,044g[/b] 69.4% of 150,000g[/quote] Broke into the triple digits! I didn't grind Wind currency [I]as[/I] brutally hard as I could have, but I sold a ton of big-ticket items that rocketed me up this week. It's so exciting to be this close... here's hoping I can keep up even half of this pace!

[center][quote=Current Savings][b]123,114g[/b] (plus down payment of 7500g for [b]130,614g[/b]) 87.1% of 150,000g[/quote] Whoops, forgot to do this yesterday! That's what I get for reading Phoenix Wright fanfiction all day. Great for mindless coli-ing, not great for anything that requires actually using my brain. I finally nailed down a seller - a Golden Idol for 150kg! I've put down a down payment of 7.5kg and am working towards hitting 142.5kg, so the numbers ultimately shake out the same way. I was having a slow week last week, but the release of the Sinister set has kicked me into pretty high gear. I've been saving all my earnings instead of the half-in-half-out method I'd been using previously, so my rate of saving should go jump accordingly. I'm racing towards the finish line now, with less than 20kg to go! Edit:... and I just edited my 4/9 post instead of quoting it for a template. [I]Oops[/I]. So vanishes one chapter of history.

[center]And we're finally done! [quote=Current Savings][item=golden idol] 100% of 150,000g[/quote] At long last! This past week's been a flurry - sold some old fest skins for a hell of a turnout, and also just ground Sandswept Delta and Redrock Cove to oblivion. Lots and lots of food sales. But it's finally here! I did it! I actually saved up for a kickstarter familiar! A dream seven months and seven years in the making. ...I've been saving so long, I don't quite know what to do now. I guess I'll just have to start saving for the next one, eh?
