Haunted Week 5 Progress

We are now in the middle of the Haunted Week 5. Since this is my 3rd HW (I started playing GT around HW3 which is a year ago), I have nothing much left to do in this HW5. Basically I just completed my tombstone collection, and getting all the ghost photos that appears only in Haunted Week (now only left the rainbow ghost photo). Also 2 days ago we have the Halloween Ghosts coming, and he had the exhibition loot also (the Killer Knife). Now I just doing normal Nessy-hunting (hoping for Little Kelpie) and piling up my stock of Highland Pride and Pumpkin Punch (I arm my ghost snake which gives +10 special editions).

Some of my thoughts on HW5:
  1. The introduction of Pumpkin Candles magic circle definitely gives a great impact in Dino Monsters hunting. You can try this setup:

    Magic Maze - Pumpkin Candles - Countess Wilhelmina - Black Widow - Amber Dragon Whelp - Twilight ID

    which gives 13 malty mist using normal jura atomizer and around 4 min hunt (provided that you have MCC). Using this setup, I caught my first T-rex and it gives me his T-rex Skull. I'm aiming for a little T-rex companion, so I can tweak the setup a little bit. What you need to keep in mind is, the amount of malty mist (13) is our lucky number here, so we must try to reach that number. Let's consider this setup

    Magic Maze - Pumpkin Candles - Countess Wilhelmina - NESSY PLATINUM -LEPRECHAUN - Twilight ID

    which practically gives same cooldown time, same amount of Malty Mist, but 2.75x more loot multiplier. I will try this out soon.

  2. A new contract, the Dancing Skulls which is the Magic Circle type. The stats given to him are quite weird, with 5% pet trainer which is really negligible (just use your 2-min hunt to hunt more often then your pet will be trained very quickly). But the interesting stats is, the +10% mystic power. Let's say my mystic now is 78 (with CW contract). If I change to DS contract, then the mystic power will be 68+6.8 = 74.8 which will be rounded to 75. I can't think of any possible interesting development of setups right now, but I'm sure the GT developers had already something special in their mind!

  3. Biochemist Dana Hunter contract from the ghost puzzlers. Since she had a very huge boost of +6 malty mist, I foresee there will be a mystic high-tech type mechanism coming out soon. [Mystic High-tech] / Pumpkin Candles / Dana Hunter will be good for monster hunting, although I believe that the setup in point no.1 above is still more superior.
Well, next in the schedule is the release of Guy Fawkes ghost at 5 November. Hunt your ghost phoenix from him! See you in the next post!
