Many thanks to everyone who chimed in with their thoughts on my question! It's greatly appreciated! Several of you have pointed out that it's a waiting game for Ivy's antidote anyway so I figure there's no advantage to me to hurry up with the willow chopping. And then I remembered WW. Now the question has become whether I'll try to use WW for getting poisoned wood or for fighting the water spirit, lol.
In either case, I'm taking a few days to rebuild my energy stores and then I'll take it from there.
Well, the amazing ness of the temples continues. The laminary temple?
Yup.
You guessed it.
255 whopping coins and black flag on wisps.
Into storage it goes.
Collecting 45 Poisoned Jewels to make one Earth Talisman of the 20 Earth Talismans needed in Part III is grueling! Very slow progress.
I was able to place Calder last night - wow the graphics are really amazing! Will start part 3 when he's ready for collection, so keep checking page 1 for detailed info and I'll finish up the final bits of part 2. If there are any other notes you feel would be helpful for the top of each post, please let me know.
Spirit Wind, can you please post the pictures and information of the various rewards on the top of the first page? Thanks
