So, i have decided to challenge myself which i am gonna start doing, i am looking forward to it.

Questions that might be answered by posters:

What is this long quest you are doing?
The objective of this quest is simple: Collect enough of the special mats needed to craft the 4 boss statues: Snarbostuffing, Jelly Glue, Schemer Scrap and Dark Ember.

How much do one of each boss statue costs to create with the special mats?
All boss statues need 64 of the special mat to craft them, double that if you are going for two of them.
Example: 64 Dark Ember > 16 Almirian Seal > 4 Lord Vanaduke's Mask > Lord Vanaduke's Finery.

How many statues are you going for?
2 Snarbolax, 1 Royal Jelly, 2 Roarmulus Twin, 1 Lord Vanaduke.
Which leads to:
128 Snarbostuffing, 64 Jelly Glue, 128 Schemer Scrap, 64 Dark Ember.

How many tokens will be needed to get that much?
128 Snarbostuffing: 1536 Frumious Fang.
64 Jelly Glue: 960 Jelly gem
128 Schemer Scrap: 2304 Bark Module
64 Dark Ember: 1600 Almirian Seal.

How long will this take?
This will take constant farming to do it in the smallest amount of time. This will take months if not a year or even more to complete this.

Can other players help?
You can by joining my party and help me get through the boss dungeon faster, but trying to help by giving the special mats i will not allow as it will feel like cheating. I will only accept 5* players.

Will you sell these once the quest is completed?
Indeed my friend, i will. However, the prices will be very high due to the sheer amount of work needed to get this much. Crowns only, not CE. Prices listed below.
128 Snarbostuffing: 2M. (1M for 64)
64 Jelly Glue: 1.25M.
128 Schemer Scrap: 3M. (1.5M for 64)
64 Dark Ember: 2.5M.

Will you tab if the person helping is out of energy/mist?
I am sorry but i will not as most of the time i need it for crafting.

I want to help but i am having trouble finding you're party.
If you are having trouble finding my party, then /tell me to request me adding you to my friends list. You can then join me from the Friendlist if theres a slot open.

Will you be on all the time or most of the time?
I will be on whenever i can as i have to go to school on the weekdays however i will be leaving school this June and moving on to college, i am on most of the time on weekends. I may not be on sometimes due to the internet is down as i run on BTFON/BTOpenzone.

I noticed you are not in a guild, can you join mine?
Sorry but no, i am not accepting any Guild Invites until this quest has been completed.

This will be one of my biggest feats and i am happy to go along with it. Wish me luck, for the Spiral Order!

I recommend that you post an update at a rate of 1 per day so that we can see how you are progressing. If you want to that is.

So you're paying 1 million

So you're paying 1 million crowns for 64 Snarbo stuffings?

@Rabeet-Ahsan

It's the other way round, i am selling them for 1M. The reason is due to the sheer amount of work needed to get that much.

Before my knight gets deleted

Before my knight gets deleted the last prices at the AH for these mats was :
lowest buy price :
Snarbostuffing: 5k
Jelly Glue: 3.5k
Schemer Scrap: 11k
Dark Ember: IDK

but this means that 64 jelly glue should be way cheaper than the 128 snarbostuffing and I calculated the prices by a calculator and ........
128 snarbosyuffing : 640000
64 jelly glue : 224000
128 schemer scrap : 1408000

that's before my was deleted so IDK if it changed .

And so it was that the race was on.

PROGRESS:
Frumious Fang: 4/1536
Jelly gem: 3/960
Bark Module: 5/2304
Almirian Seal: 48/1600

Looks like I'd better get started.

CURRENTLY FARMING: Jelly King/Roarmulous twins; mission edition

@Knight-Unfair

Snarbostuffing is about the same price, Jelly Glue has gone up to 6K, Schemer Scrap has gone up to 25K and Dark Ember is 28K, Cheapest prices.

The reason is i am putting these up at very high prices is due to the amount of work needed to get that much to craft the statues, it will take 1 week or a month at most depending on you're Guild's skill, how active it is and those willing to help towards it. While at the AH, you can buy the amount needed instantly for 1M for the Snarbostuffings needed to craft 1 Snarbolax statue, this saving without have to do a week or a month farming that bosses tokens. This is a big advanage to rich guilds like EoS althrough they likely have all the statues, other rich guilds can take advanage of this.

Another reason of their increased prices is the amount of tokens needed to buy a single one, Snarbostuffing is 12, Jelly Glue 15, Schemer Scrap 18 and Dark Ember 25.

Bump, just to say i reached

Bump, just to say i reached over 100 Frumious Fangs.

Oh and i got a item drop too on that run after defeating Snarby from the red boxes: Prismatech Alchemer

EDIT: if i can farm 100 Frumious Fangs a day, (34 runs if Snarby always dropped 3) then i can finish it in just 15 days.
