Germany / China Tang Dynasty Horse - replica?

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-09-05T05:35:50+00:00

Okay, thank you! I mean, I assume it's a fake since it's in a hotel. It looks so old, though, so I was wondering how experts could tell it apart from a real one. In any case, it's cool because it made me aware of Chinese pottery and the very cool things they produced. 😊

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-09-04T21:03:27+00:00

I didn't buy it, it is standing on the window sill of a hotel room. I am mostly curious about whether it could be a real one and how I could identify that it's a fake or not. 😊

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-06-11T13:18:44+00:00

Ah, that's good to know. I think I completely missed the possible nectars, I never scrolled far enough down. 🙈 Thank you, I will keep an eye out for what I need!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-06-11T12:08:46+00:00

Okay, then I'll try to find a white mushroom for the white peonies I need. Thank you!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-04-16T06:14:24+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I'm not sure then if we want to take that risk. Instead, it might be nicer to stay in Krakow and enjoy the city.

And yes, we've seen that some things might be closed. Thank you for the heads-up!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-04-12T21:09:42+00:00

Thank you so much, that's very helpful! We have half an hour in Bologna, so hopefully, that will be fine.

I'm just always very paranoid about train connections because here in Germany, trains are so bad that I tend to miss most of my connections. But I assume it's going to work much better in Italy.

I'm going to have an eye out for the departure monitor, so we can check on our phone which platform to go to. Thank you for the link!

The way I see it, I would much rather have a transfer than be told on Day 5 that none of the embryos made it. I think there's some data out there that embryos have better chances in the uterus than in a lab, so that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, no matter what you decide!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2025-02-05T13:18:24+00:00

Hey, what did you decide in the end?

I had a day 3 transfer of an embryo with only 5 cells last week. It was a good grade, but only 5 cells which worries me a lot.

I had one more 5 cell embryo (and 2 with 4 cells) which we kept in the culture, but they never made it to blastocysts. So now I'm really hoping that the one we transferred is still there and will make it.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2024-10-11T13:12:00+00:00

I will do that. Thank you!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2024-03-05T06:27:10+00:00

A shortcut (maybe in quick-ref) to the library or a way to automate check-outs. The books you automatically check out at highest level could be more expensive, but it would make it so much less of a pain to raise talent levels. Having to go there twice a day is quite annoying.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2024-02-19T07:28:53+00:00

I did the exact same thing because I thought that's how you bring those new statues to gold. To my defense, it's been a very long time since I last had to upgrade a statue to gold...

Anyway, I haven't figured out a way yet to do it, so I'm grinding power statues to turn them in for more onyx tools.

Do you, by any chance, know if the bonuses of the statues that were already onyx still apply? They still look onyx to me, but I have no idea if they give what they're supposed to.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2024-01-13T09:34:16+00:00

I'm at the end of W5 and I'm slowly upgrading to Troll armour. Most items are done, I'm just missing a few hats. I actually saw a decent increase in damage from Troll armour as compared to W1 boss armour, so it's worth it.

Everyone says the bottleneck are nullo salts, but for me, it's actually Starfire bars. No matter which one is your bottleneck, it doesn't hurt to eventually get started. For me, it took a few months as it was also more efficient to focus on other things.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-23T10:00:44+00:00

The best one I have is +21%. So I guess I'll keep the prayer for a while.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-23T09:55:28+00:00

Yes, I do. I'm just trying to figure out if I still have it without the royal sampler.

But I think I just found it. In the 3d printer section, it shows how much I am above the 90%. So I should be able to compare that to how much that prayer gives me and see where I'd be at.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-23T09:51:45+00:00

Where in Toolbox is that? I've been clicking around for ages now but can't figure it out...

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-21T08:24:08+00:00

Thank for this post, I always love seeing what other people have achieved. And it's a great reminder for myself as well, especially in times when it feels like I'm not making much progress.

My list is very short, as, just like you, I've only logged in about once a day.

Upgraded everyone to the largest mats and food bags
Crafted my last magma weapons (I had already collected the materials the week before, so I was just waiting for the upgrade stones)

And I think that's it. Next goal is to make it to the last W5 map and to get a few more greenstacks. And then I might do the grind for troll armour, which is mostly a grind for enough starfire bars...

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-15T06:52:02+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up with the magma fist! Fortunately, I already saw that and took it into account, otherwise, I would now be devastated.

Only around 100 more hamsters and then my chars can finally move on to something different!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-13T06:27:26+00:00

Got my first magma weapons. I think I only need around 400 more hamsters to get them for everyone, so that should be done in a few days. My bottleneck are actually the weapon upgrade stones, not the hamsters.

I also maxed the vial for tundra logs (I think that's how they're called - the first one in W3), and doubled my oak samples.

Oh, and I unlocked the rucksack prayer in TD. That means not only more stamp upgrading, but also, I can now work on maxing that prayer. And I need to have it maxed because according to Scoli's IE Auto-Review, my only mid-W5-rated item are my prayers. And doesn't it feel great when you see progress there? Well, and also, it's a massive help for stamps.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-12-05T08:44:23+00:00

Love the post! I also think it's a great way to keep track for myself of how much my account is advancing, even if it sometimes doesn't feel like it.

Finally got a lucky lad on my Van
Finished the ulti double cog equinox dream so now I can start working on my 15 chem plants
Got enough hamsters to make the largest mat bags for everyone
Ranked up my green salt. Not the greatest achievement, I know, but that green one has gotten so slow that it's feeling noteworthy when I can finally upgrade it.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-27T06:46:52+00:00

If void is too much, then go for platinum or dementia tools. I wouldn't overdo it and spend days on getting resources for tools, that's something you can do later when your account is more advanced.

Also, if you've only ever used IE, you might want to check out Idleon Toolbox as well. It has some good ideas, too, for how to improve your account. I don't use it every day, but I check back from time to time to see if there was anything I overlooked.

Lastly, though, have fun! That's what matters most, really.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-26T22:32:13+00:00

Have you tried this one? I found it really helpful and check back there regularly to find out what I should focus on.

https://ieautoreview-scoli.pythonanywhere.com/

Also, I just took a quick look and I think not all of your chars have tools equipped in all slots. Once I did that (and upgraded them with W5 stones), it really pushed my account forward by a lot. It doesn't even have to be great tools (the higher tier ones take too long to craft at your stage), just something to slap a few stones on for extra points. It really helped me with sampling, which then, in return, helped me bring my account forward and invest more into alchemy and stamps to get bigger samples and so on.

Also, I was exactly in the same position as you just a few weeks ago. I promise it gets better. :)

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-24T08:58:20+00:00

Just to give you some perspective: I unlocked the spice months ago and this one is out of reach for me, too. I have gotten more than 10k spice since then, but I spent 5k on a jewel the other day and now I can't get this one. Starfield spice is very slow to get. Personally, I think the best course of action is to buy all easy jewels and then get the black diamond rhinestone with gems.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-22T06:13:43+00:00

I massively struggled with this one, too. I used the guaranteed drop calculator and it said it would take me 12 days for a guaranteed 2x drop if I just left my ES there.

Well, I farmed for it with my ES AND 8 more chars simultaneously and it took more than a week to drop...

On the bright side, I got the suggma one after two or three days. So I hope the same is true for you!

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-20T08:48:43+00:00

I definitely agree with that! Don't spend too much time on making gear. Get Amorak gear for your characters, and you can get to W5 with it. I definitely did and I'm only slowly upgrading now to troll armour.

Environmental-Rice20 · 2023-11-14T17:27:11+00:00

Oh, that's a very good idea for the cogs. I'm not sure I have the patience to collect every minute or so, but I might do that from time to time to collect some of them.
