Noman's Friend Melt Rate Tracking 2017

[quote=idyl][quote=CameoAppearance]I fed my remaining ToL to the noman today and got Noman’s Friend up to 77. That might buy me another week, since the most anyone else in this thread has lost so far is 76, although with the amount of NF you get back from Tears it’d take a miracle to get more than one more week. (Or a large Fate expenditure, which is essentially the same thing.) I’m trying to hedge my bets and get at least one more bottle of Tears from either the Sommelier or the Gallery of Serpents before TtH hits.[/quote]Bad News: This is probably the week that FB ramps up the melt rate, so expect to lose between 90 and 120. It’s either already happened, or within the next day or so. Usually by Feb 1 or 2 the minimum is 90.

Technically, in both PST and UTC, my TtH is today. (Give or take about 20 minutes.) It’s in ~16 hours. So if they flip the switch any later than that I’ll be fine unless the RNG screws me over, probably.

Well, insofar as having Noman’s Friend in the single digits counts as &quotfine&quot.

Update: I did in fact manage to get another bottle of Tears. This cost me around 30 Fate, admittedly. (I needed Favourable Circumstances and a Church favour on short notice.) And I used up all my Darkdrop Coffee because I was impatient. Anyway, now I have exactly 90 Noman’s Friend. I have a good chance of getting through this week but that’s not enough to expect to get through the next.

&quotYou’ve lost 56 x Noman’s Friend (new total 574 - The Noman is pristine).&quot

I was expecting a lot worse.

“You’ve lost 56 x Noman’s Friend (new total 794 - The Noman is pristine).”

All shall be well.

as of two minutes ago TtH have hit. “You’ve lost 65 x Noman’s Friend”

I messed up the mobile sync and had to hastily do the favourable circumstances -> airag -> tears trade again! But I got a better result this time, 25 instead of 13 Noman’s Friend gained! Hooray???

                          [b](15 minutes ago) [/b]You've lost 52 x Noman's Friend (new total 50 - A little time remains to the Noman).

Well, that wasn’t so bad.

Just lost 78 today, from 223 to 145, starting from exactly a week ago. Managed to get a bit of it back by trading in my Taste of Lacre, but having to dodge Time twice before the Feast is making me nervous…

Yesterday, 30th of Janissary, around 23:00 GMT I lost 78 NF.

A few hours ago today, I lost 80 NF. Seems like the NF losses are starting to increase.

You’ve lost 103 Nomans Friend (new total 488)

1/2 you’ve lost 114 noman friend.
256 to go, two tears. i really hope it’ll last

You’ve lost 103 x Noman’s Friend (new total 519 - The Noman is pristine

You’ve lost 119 x Noman’s Friend (new total 518 - The Noman is pristine).

Lost 99 ToL (new total 422)

Feb 02, 14:18 GMT: lost 110 x Noman’s Friend (new total 292 - The Noman is pristine).

February 2nd, ~18:30 GMT:

You’ve lost 117 x Noman’s Friend (new total 520 - The Noman is pristine).

You’ve lost 94 x Noman’s Friend (new total 700 - The Noman is pristine).

I should be able to get my tattoo before my next TtH. I may have gone overboard with preparations. I regret nothing.

You’ve lost 112 x Noman’s Friend
if lady lilac shows up next monday, this will be last TtH I had to survive through. I am glad I didnt went too crazy with preparation but I will admit I had 21 tears as back up plan xD even without them it seems I did spent more than necessary on piles.

&quotYou’ve lost 109 x Noman’s Friend (new total 465 - The Noman is pristine).&quot

Making an 8 foot tall noman was its own reward.

I had 50 Noman’s Friend, and I lost all of it 2 minutes ago. Like I said, I don’t think it can go negative. I don’t think it can subtract more than you have, either.
