The new merit badges Spade thread

[DuRhone]

What have you spaded to find the new merit badges?

I put 101 items in my memento museum. Got nothin' :/

[Carygon Nijax]

holding 20842 baseballs doesn't work either

[DuRhone]

Having your bedtime in AM equal your current time in PM does not have one.

[Carygon Nijax]

watching Jurasic Park while patroling the triassic park neither does a thing

[Ryme]

hah! That's a good one, Carygon. Wish I'd thought of it. And had a camera installed in your house, for verification purposes.

[TheK3vin]

There's no merit badge for spending a month wearing an item named after you.

hey I've been good about it so far I need to brag a LITTLE...

[Muhandes]

No badge for transmog at level 100.

[Carygon Nijax]

no badge for staying home frayday night and friday night at the same time

[Carygon Nijax]

there's no badge for staying the whole night having fun in a bar...

[Muhandes]

Since it fits the description, I tried getting "It's the Only Game in Town" without flying or high jumping, multiple times. Doesn't work.
Maybe there is some other non-combat adventure that is similar?

[Cristiona]

Yes. There's no badge for things that have nothing to do with Twilight Heroes.

[Carygon Nijax]

Yes. There's no badge for things that have nothing to do with Twilight Heroes.

There should be >_>

[Ryme]

Well, except for these:

[seventhcross]

well, there isn't a badge for having a negative xp total, nor is there one for being concussed with needs stiches. I failed to get internal injuries for the entire time I got beaten up though

That's ok. Having all the beaten up effects at the same time has already been tested, no badge.

[Avenger]

No badge for having more than 50 dodge.

[Carygon Nijax]

There's no badge for having killed 1,001 frusion beings

[Cristiona]

No badge for having 11 pegasusususus in your Memento Display

[Carygon Nijax]

No badge for having 11 pegasusususus in your Memento Display

Maybe there's a badge for giving some away to a player named "Carygon Nijax"?

[Ryme]

Not yet at least, but that's a funny one!

[Muhandes]

We mostly have "Skin of the Teeth" spaded, if anyone has more information as to how many "a handful" is, please share.

[Satan]

This is because the instant you attain the badge it sees that you do in fact have a badge, and revokes it.

[Muhandes]

You have 1000 items in your display case and capacity for 1000 total.

No badge for having 1000 items in your display.

[zillow]

None for having more than 500 IOUs

[N] Harry Dresden: Zillow wanted me to ask if you have any more badge hints for us.
[N] Ryme: Honestly, I've forgotten what hints I've given, and I'm not sure what's undiscovered at this point.
[N] Harry Dresden: Hints from last time were "one most likely to be found on Halloween" and "one has something to do with the sidekick".
[N] Ryme: Hm, let's see. I don't think I've even seen anyone speculate on a reason for discovering a costume on Halloween, guess that would be the first step. It's not illogical.
[N] Ryme: As for the sidekick one, I don't have any good hints. It predates the permanent sidekick. That's known, right?
[N] Harry Dresden: I don't think it was. Most of our testing was with permanent sidekicks.
[N] Ryme: really? Well, rule that out.

These are taken from the 5th tea time.
So: lets proceed in these two directions. What sidekicks predate the permanent one? What happens if you mix and match halloween outfits? ( I would answer these questions but i dont have any halloween outfits and i dont know the first question's answer either.)

Maybe its a question of having so many different sidekicks in one day, and so many different avatar pics in one day?

[blackmatter615]

has anybody done anything with the witching hour in relation to the halloween badge? I.E. the time between midnight and 3 am?

[Muhandes]

I think it was once mentioned that the sidekick trophy involves a single sidekick, though I can't substantiate this with anything official.
It was also said once that no trophy requires an IotM.
Permanent sidekicks were introduced on 13 April 2009. The sidekicks that were available on that date, which are not from ItoM:
Wolf
Water buffalo
Wind warrior
Blues musician
Fledgling elemental hero
Monkey
Strobe drone
Squawking radio
Clockwork ant
Clockwork armadillo
Clockwork falcon
Clockwork kangaroo
Clockwork owl
Clockwork spider
Black robot
Grey robot
Mechapinata!!
Red robot
Robot with a heart of gold
Freelance teenager
Publicist
Smart-aleck kid

From IotM (for completion):
Boxing coach
Crow
Free dummy
Mafia informer
Old friend
Ferric Man

[zillow]

I'm about 85% sure that I asked him if it was a specific sidekick in a specific zone and he said yes.

[Ryme]

I'm about 85% sure that I asked him if it was a specific sidekick in a specific zone and he said yes.

I'm about 100% sure that's not the precise question you asked me.

[blackmatter615]

Well then what was the right question/answer pair? Or do we have to re-guess the question?

[Corrupt Shadow]

I'm about 85% sure that I asked him if it was a specific sidekick in a specific zone and he said yes.

I'm about 100% sure that's not the precise question you asked me.

I'm sorry, but that was funny. I actually laughed out loud at that one.

I myself am almost 50% sure most everyone laughed as well.

As a Naturalist, I tamed (approximately) 10 of each animal in the game, and no badge.

Also, I adventured for about 12 hours' worth of game time at the Guild for Imaginative Metachronism while wearing safety pants and sans chapeau (That's "without hat", y'know). No badge. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a "short" sidekick to fit in with the theme.

[Cristiona]

The old coin? The smart alek kid is clearly Short Round...

[Sanjuro]

Maybe I'll try it without a sidekick. After all, you can leave your friends behind, 'cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine.
