Yard Areas

So I have both the Bunker and the Pyramind available to enter, not explored any of the areas in the Yard yet hence not tried out a battle..... bit nervous about that! Which area should I go for first, and have you any tips for me?

I am now also able to open up The Oceanic Room and Room 51 in the 1st Floor - if I do all these things now, will I be over-whelmed with Quests? I already have about 20 on the LHS, and am in the process of opening the Ocularis Spiritus too. I'm in danger of getting MM overload!!!

Hi, I have added you as a friend and can help you with the bunker if you wish. I would suggest you open the bunker first, you need weapons from the treatment collection to fight the boss and they do take them away when you use them. I wouldn't open the pyramid just yet until you've got a few more weapons to fight him. I am in your pendings if you want to add me

Thank you! I've replied to your Wall question..... I have some of the Treatment collection, and plan to buy up to 10 of the Heart-Warming Ointment just in case I end up battling alone as I don't really know what I'm doing!

What are the benefits of these battles? Do good collection items get dropped? I will probably have to wait until Thurs night (GMT) or the weekend to get some free time to have a go at it.

As you can tell, I'm a relative newbie here (level 40), with loads more to open up/explore.....

Hi Murraymint,

Don't waste diamonds buying ointment! You'll get a quest soon enough where they will show up as a drop when banishing the snowdoll and ear twisting snatchins (and will continue to drop until you charge that collection - so don't charge until you've stocked up hundreds!).
I'm assuming with the name Murraymint and talking GMT time, you're a good English boy (Happy St. George's Day!) I'll be around Thursday evening if you need to be shown the ropes and I've got plenty of healers so don't buy any and waste your diamonds!

Will add your friend code:)

Actually I'm a good English girl! (Well, lady) I like to keep a neutral profile online

I'll look for you in the Pending Friends list - looks like Thursday could be Battle day then!

I don't currently have any ear-twisting or snowdoll snatchins, so I guess I will have to be patient. Sometimes I wish I knew which quests were coming up on the horizon...

Check out the facebook pages, they have quest by quest on UFO, Pirate ship etc. sometimes you get them in the 'wrong' order but they'll give you an idea at least.

Happy reading!

Thank you - lots of useful info there!

Also, there's a site that has a map of all of the quests (new & old) that was made by one of the members here & has been recently updated.

(I don't know to make a link on here. Sorry)

At first glance it looks daunting, but use your search feature to find the quest you're at now. You'll see everything that comes after. Because quests can sometimes get kind of overlapping & confusing on the map, click the quest you want more info on. You'll go to a detail of that quest (it will take a few seconds) which will show you the text, goal, & reward(s). It will also list any items that will be taken upon completion of the quest. You can use that to see what you have to stock up on before you start.

Still in the detail screen, scroll down to the next quest in the string. Lots of empty space, but keep scrolling. If you get to a quest that doesn't sound like it belongs in that string, close out that quest, go back to the map, find where you left off, & continue your search.

Personally, I don't know what I'd do without this quest map. Granted, it has bare-bones info & doesn't have the tips that the other sites that were listed do (I use them, too), but it will give you a glimpse into what's coming so you can be prepared.

I AM one of your friends, and I'm happy to battle snatchin boss with u anytime. That one is the least expensive. I agree, don't waste diamonds buying weapons, they can also be bought during the battle. The benefits of a battle are, chests with energies and chargers, get to explore a new room for 2 hours. And get col items that you cannot get elsewhere for certain higher level collections. And it's fun.

Go to other manors to banish snow doll snatchins and ear twisting. I have lots of them. We tend to go to other manors to do our banishing. Don't ask me why. You're doing well, I've been watching u. I'm pretty new too, level 70.

Thank you for all the advice, and I have now entered the Bunker a couple of times, so got the hang of battling!

It still feels as if I'm progressing so slowly; I can use up my entire energy supply (450) in about 10 minutes! Then it's a long 22hr wait for it to refill without using any charms...... I guess the higher the level, the more gameplay available.

You should be able to charge collections that give u energy items, like Russian salads, rum punch and sandwiches. Try and focus on the collections that can give u energy for awhile, see if that helps. Put those items on your wl. And some of the collections lead to artifacts that can help even more. I really studied my collections a lot in the beginning, heck--- I still do!!!!
Unfortunately we can't gift energy.

Ad banish lots of critters, will help u level up and restore your energy.

Great advice Ronda, should have time at the weekend to examine the collections carefully!

It's good to have friends to help u. Let me know if u need anything. I ask a lot of questions myself.

Also, use your charms! Phoenixes restore energy, and elephants give extra experience to help level up. Visit all the friends you can every day and use all your strength to level up your reputation....you will level up faster. Finally, pay attention to when you are close to leveling up and drain your energy doing things like low level rooms and banishing the expensive creatures since you will be restored when you level up! I get so mad when I level up and have energy left unused!

Oh yeah, SUPER GOOD tips, I forgot about those!

So items can stop showing up if we charge too soon? I think that happened to me with the generals ointment collection. I guess there's no going back is there? The ointment never drops for me anymore. Hard to know when it is safe to charge a collection.
Any input on that?
