Since Bjorn took care of all that up and down work, and there's the whole idea of not letting Tex know about it, I'd suggest yes.

Are we assuming half store value for the poffins, since the book says they cost about $500 each to buy?

And yeah it seems it'd be a net loss, looking at the input cost.

Code: Select all

1 Belue Berry ($250 value) + $50 Food Scrap (Preserves) -> 2 Poffins ($250 Food Scrap total). 
Looking at it strictly in terms of Food Scrap value, though, it's more like:

Code: Select all

$125 Scrap (Belue) + $50 Scrap (Preserves) -> 2 Poffins ($250 Scrap)
Effectively that'd be a net gain of $75 in Scrap. In total Koa would end up with $350 in Food Scrap value vs. the $275 Scrap he'd have gotten if he had broken the three Berries down to start with.

This is keeping in mind that Koa found the Belue Berry, of course. If he'd had to buy it, then it'd be $300 input -> $250 output.

Really not helping your case here buddy.

Anyways, I... Suppose it's okay, really. Like you said, buying everything by raw, it's not like you made a profit... And it's not like you discovered some kind of "infinite cycle" where you could keeps crapping items and turning them into preserves, and make more than you'd get from the start. :roll:

Bad vader! Bad! *gets spray bottle* No gaming the system! I know there is ways to get free berries, Haley and Drake both have them. And you can further abuse it by finding them yourself in the wild.

I mean, I could just do a Master Survival check for raw Food Scrap and get a lot more that way using way less math :roll:

But yeah, I wouldn't suggest it if there was some kinda infinite Poffin recursion I could take advantage of :lol:. I just wanna know what my options are, since there are so few resources in this maze/dungeon. I like to play fair, I'm not gonna try and trick anyone into giving me an unfair advantage.

So, I've been considering what could've changed Alex's aura. Since it was only him, it wasn't just leveling up or being close to the Core or Overseer (or their interaction). So that leaves two possibilities that I can think of. The first as that actually seeing the aura(s) from the Overseer and/or Core left the impression on him, and the second is that when he tried to 'talk' to the Core he actually got through to it a little bit. I can't think of anything else that could have affected his aura since first meeting Numa.

Are you trying to come up with an in-game explanation for your class changes? Because if you are, I wouldn't bother :shrug:

Re: Trinity Isles OOC

Nah, this is actually a thing. The second time we met Numa she said Alex's aura had changed, and now that we're out of the fight we've had a chance to confirm that. It's only Alex's aura that changed; it got a static-y ball added to it, which doesn't behave like a normal aura, sitting where it is when he turns when most auras would turn with the person. Numa attacked it and confirmed that it's not a ghost or anything. So I'm trying to work out where an aura change could come from.

Don't worry too much about it. It's got nothing to do directly with Alex unless you want to consider it as a "semi-reason" why he suddenly gained aura prowess, although like Vader said that's not really necessary. It's more linked to what happened with the slate- Although that's a weird thing to say, given that we all know it was always just a regular slate with some cryptic imagery, and nothing weird happened with it at all.

(I probably shouldn't even be mentioning that, but I'd figured the fact the orb is "glitchy" to be a dead giveaway anyways.)

I feel like most things involved with the Overseer are kind of glitchy, and if it were the Core it could've been a result of the box blocking out most of its effects. The slate didn't even cross my mind, to be honest. Since it's the slate, though, now I have to question why it's attached to Alex's aura instead of everyone's.

Espessially since Haley was the one the reveal it and eveyrbody else was nearby when it glitched out.

Forgive Me as I go to a corner and cry over Irene's perception and intuition rolls. Where a 7 is the high end of an average roll. The fact she's made any progress in this maze is a miricle

Because it IS still tied in somewhat to an "excuse" for giving Alex aura vision.

And I'm just going to be silent from that point on, because everything that needed to be said, has already been said IC.

Well, I never said it was going to be uncool.

Unless we're assuming anything Alex touches is by definition uncool. :roll:

In completely unrelated news, I just finished ultra moon. I'm not sure whether I want to retcon all appearances of our dear grand overseer to actually be ultra necrozma, or if I'm more likely conveniently going to forget it's a thing now and it's just not going to be a thing in our campaign.

I'm still on second island (cause I am not too interested in it so far) and From what I see in the trailers....Well raising up it's son and enslaving it...Sounds like what overslaver would do since it already did that to the other ubs.

Well, by looks UltraNecrozma seems to have fused with an end evolution of cosmog, so since the other group saw a cosmog (That's what that was right?) it's not ready to be UltraNecrozma yet.

Okay, so, what we can do is- Wait, shoot, people actually went into his world thing, right? I was gonna suggest that he can't bring his true form into our world, but since they've seen what he'd look like in his own world, that doesn't work. >.> Well, anyone who plays Hunter can attest to how bad I am at this backstory stuff anyway.

Hmm...Maybe its something we hear about but not see? Like it was weakend earlier from another box or it's just not powerful enough yet to become Ultra Necrosma and needs to overtake our world/red chain to obtain it once more?
