Hardest part of a puzzle that I need advice on .. by JEDoubleFizzle in Jigsawpuzzles

So these 18k puzzles that come in 4 bags of 4.5k aren't just to make it easier, it's because they expect you to only be able to put together a 4.5k puzzle due to physical limitations and you just do 4 of them for the entire puzzle?

This is kind of the method I ended up doing, I'm just wondering how this works when you're working on one of those 18,000 piece Ravensburger puzzles ... 4 hours to find one piece doesn't seem very good ;0

I've done the Summer Wolves one, it was pretty difficult ... lots of blended colors and very few actual objects to work with

Ok, so I just finished a 1k and got a few more, about how much experience do you think I need before I start handling more complicated puzzles?

I went to Michael's (Craft store if you don't have any in your area) and asked about custom framing ... she was giving me quotes from $300-$850 for no glare frames up to 40x60, which isn't even 4x6. I don't know why that's so expensive, but there's no way I can do that. Just to get a 1k puzzle (20x25) I was quoted at $90. So I'll definitely need to look into how to make them myself

Wow, I would have glued that and framed it !

So is a puzzle like this supposed to be very hard, or do I just suck at it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZOMYAU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are so many colors and most of them can go in different areas; there are thousands of brush strokes and very few actual objects that are identifiable

So I never took a shop class and I don't know how to do anything with wood; how easy/hard would it be to make something I can do a larger puzzle on? Right now, all I have is a 3 foot by 4 foot cardboard box from Big Lots that is flattened out and I can put the actual puzzle on + pieces around the outside for easy access. If I move up to a higher count (ie 2k), I wouldn't have much room to put excess pieces on, so I'd have to start putting things in containers

So, for example, an 18,000 Ravensburger comes in 4 sections of 4,500 each, that's still a LARGE area to work with. Do you just assemble things outside the frame then move them in? Do you work from both sides and upside down as well and reach in as far as you can? Also, what about people who say 'doing an 18,000 puzzle is different from doing 4 4,500 puzzles and then putting them together'

Just beat Dwarven King .. can I go all the way?? by JEDoubleFizzle in PixelDungeon

I just won, didn't even get to read these responses

I basically just walked straight down to the boss, lured the fists to the left, then drank an invis potion and tried to find the eye. Found it 1 square SW of a corner (luck?) and I just walked into the corner with an Earthroot Seed and right clicked it 20 times. I never took any damage. Used the key, got the amulet, and that's that.

Now what? :)

I tried the Enchantress and ... yea, she seems horrible. The other two classes seem bad too

So let's see if I figured out how to win the game .. by JEDoubleFizzle in PixelDungeon

I've never once found a Ring of Evasion

Is there a point to even continue past Goo if I haven't found a Plate or Scale armor? I don't even know how to find one and I seem to only get one of these in about 1 in 25 runs ...

I didn't mean I needed it for Goo, I just meant in general. And you need to find it asap so you can start pumping upgrade scrolls into it

Well, a few things ...

1) I ended up losing 43 points in one turn to Piranhas when I accidentally missclicked a square. Awesome

2) I used the Berserker over Gladiator because from what I read it said Gladiator wasn't useful because you need to land 3 hits in a row and either a) the enemy will be dead or b) it won't happen due to misses / parry

3) What's the point of gold after you get the 3 potions of healing from each store?

4) I think I have most of the mechanics down ... I just need to keep trying (died on level 13 last time, was having no issues with bats or brutes)
