- Looking for tips for tricks for novice players? You may also want to check on Strategies, tips, and tricks.
- This guide was originally created during Cookie Run: New World era. It is apparent that the guide stated in most of the sections are outdated.
Let me tell you something. Cookie Run is not just a game you can casually play. It will take a very long time and a solid determination to dominate you from the rest of the players! Everyone starts from the beginning like you too, and it took quite some time to rank up. Since you're new here, let's get started. You may want to read the article Cookie Run first before delving into the game much further.
What is Cookie Run? Edit
- Main article: Cookie Run
- If you already know about this, then you can just skip to the next section.
Besides LINE, Cookie Run also has its version in KakaoTalk, which is limited to Korea only. There, the game is much more advanced and updated, measuring up to 5 months more advanced than our version in LINE, so don't be surprised that players can get content that haven't even come to the game yet. It's most probably the Kakao version of the game. For now, we'll focus on the LINE version, which is why you and I are here.
You'll also need to know that Cookie Run has undergone several major changes from Season 1 to Season 5 (current). Each time a season changes, all of the strategies needs to be revamped, as one can render the older ones obsolete. It also raises the standard of the score. Each of the new releases may be possible for users to break the highest record possible. For example, when Vampire Cookie came out on Season 3, the highest record set raised from 60 million to 75 million.
There are three things that affects gameplay.
- Main article: Cookies
Cookies are the character that you are going to play. Their ability can be ranked from C to L. Just focus on S and L-rank cookies. Don't bother looking at the others, well, except Buttercream Choco Cookie.
- Main article: Pets
Pets are the creature that accompany you during your run. Aww, How cute! Their ability can also be ranked from C to L. Again, just focus on the S-rank pet, and forget the rest. To get them, you'll need 20 crystals to get just ONE S-rank pet. What? Too expensive? We'll tell you how to get easy crystals for you later in this section.
- Main article: Treasures
Now this is the main attraction of the game. Treasures are the three tools that you can equip during your run. Although its effects are not too huge, this could be a game changer. At first, you can only have one slot of treasure, but as time goes by, more can be unlocked.
Their ability, as usual, can be ranked from C to S. Just focus on the S-ranked treasure to help you run your best. There are also Power+ treasures that can help you gain items everyday. Sweet, right?
Treasures are the place for you to spend majority of your crystals in.
There are also two currencies that will affect you as you develop your account, so pay attention.
- Main article: Coin
Coins are the main currency of the game. You can use coins to spend on upgrades like upgrading Cookies, Health, Jellies, Pets, and Treasures. You can also use them to buy boosts like Double XP, Cookie Relay, and even Random Boost, which we will discuss later too in the guide. You can easily collect them in-game and in rewards.
- Main article: Crystal
Now this is the valuable currency in the game. Like all freemium games, Crystals are the currency that you can't get in-game easily. The only way to get it is by logging in everyday and completing events. We will discuss in generating more crystals again later in this guide. With our guide, you can get at least 20 crystals per day! Feeling excited? Hope you do!
There are also lots of other stuff like Magic Powder and Mystic Gems, but let's discuss it on another day.
Now let's get to the cash-free guide to dominate Cookie Run!
Chapter 1: Help! I'm new! What to do? Edit
Hey! I see you just got yourself a new account, played the tutorial, and you are ready to roll! At the very beginning you will see you have 10,000 and 1 only. Doesn't sound much right? Here's what you should first do:
Add as many friends!
- Main article: Add Your LINE ID here!
Leaderboards feeling empty? Worry not! You can add as many people here in our forum for you to compete on scores. You can also leave your LINE ID too in the forum.
In addition to all of the LINE ID in the forum, you should add people who NEVER played Cookie Run before. Add up to 50 people, as they will be useful in the next two steps.
Send them lives!
Now your leaderboard is filled with people! Congrats! That's your target objective to beat later on! For now, let's send them lives so that they can send lives back to you. It's ok. They are very dedicated people too, and they will gladly accept lives for you so you don't need to feel bothersome to send them. You can send them lives by tapping the mail icon on the right of each player on the leaderboard in the main lobby. Be sure to send all!
Invite Friends
Above your Cookies and Pet in the main lobby there is a button called "Invite Event". Click that, and invite as many friends as you can, providing that you have already add them and they have never played before. You will receive a lot of stuff, including a Free Extra Rare Egg (that usually costs you 20, free Zombie Cookie, free Gold Drop pet, a free and powerful Muay Thai Cookie, and you will get another 100!
Log into the game for the first time and you'll obtain 100 crystals for free! However, this is only 27th July 2016, so do log in soon!
Your Crystal Count should be 101 right now (201 if you start playing the game before 27th July), so make sure you save it up first for 2 cookies, which are Adventurer Cookie and Angel Cookie!
If you don't have many friends to invite, invite these accounts here. Since there have been many complaints that the Ghost IDs have been mostly filled up, here is another option: Add random IDs in the Disney Tsum Tsum wiki, or you can come up with some random LINE IDs before you add those random people and send them an invitation to play Cookie Run. Of course, that might annoy people, but 1 season usually lasts for 6 months or more, so they will forget all about it before you feel like you are annoying those random people again.
Realistically speaking, Adventurer Cookie is a very easy cookie to unlock: Just add 200 friends and you'll be able to buy him with coins! However, for those who are playing using a guest account or who do not want to add strangers, Adventurer Cookie is your best coin-farming cookie in the new season! Why? His Hidden Ruins have been revamped to become Coin Ruins, where there are coins everywhere in the ruins! Sounds like a good deal, right? He will take 119 away.
Buy Angel Cookie
Angel Cookie is also a very important cookie, especially for beginners. Not because of its ability to attract items in game, but the main focus here is its treasure, Angel Cookie's Holy Feather, which can attract items in game using other cookie as well! This is by far the most popular treasure for everyone, from beginners to veterans alike. That treasure is also a huge game changer in score, allowing you to compete against higher scoring folk. Unless you want to wait to reach Level 30, you should also buy it with crystals. It'll take 99 of your crystals away.
The objective here is to upgrade Angel Cookie to level 8, but you don't have the coins yet to upgrade it to get its treasure.
Play a game
Just play a game using any cookie that you have bought. While familiarizing with the game, your objective here is to get 180,000 points, which is fairly easy. Once you completed a game, you should have unlocked several cookies to be purchased through coins. Now you can move to the next step.
He will multiply the amount of coins for you to farm coins later on. The objective here is not to instantly give you setups to generate the most points, but let's start with the basics. You will need coins to purchase stronger cookies, so we focus first on coin generating setup. You can easily buy him for 13,500, which I'm pretty sure you have that much coins as of right now.
Let's start farming coins!
|Random Boost
Now, let's start with what we have! Now what is a relay? A relay cookie is a cookie that will help you continue the run when the main cookie went down. You can select the relay on the Cookie select screen on the upper left corner. You can purchase this for 3,000 (One time use). Since Buttercream Choco Cookie will grant back 25% of the coins collected in game, it was worth the investment.
Now, on the bottom right side of the set-up page, there is an item that lets you roll for a Random Boost. A random boost is an extra ability for you to play during that run. It functions only once per run, and it's a wager. Initially, you can purchase a random boost for 1,200, but if you don't want the boost, you can re-buy and exchange the boost for 600. Re-buy until you get Double Coins at hand.
Once you're set, click play, and play away. Play on Episode 1. Don't go anywhere yet!
You're playing first as Adventurer Cookie. Since this is your early attempt, try to familiarize with the game and avoid hitting obstacles and fall into holes (unless they are marked with a yellow light). Hitting obstacles costs you 40 health points, and falling into holes instantly ends the game. While playing, you will see coins appearing everywhere, so be sure to take them, especially the Gold coins, which is worth 10 coins, and the GIANT coins, which is worth a whopping 100 coins. Ignore the rest of the jellies and just take coins for now.
Also don't forget. Gold Drop's coin is also worth 100 coins, so don't ever miss that coin!
At the end, the energy runs out, and you will have to summon your relay cookie, the Buttercream Choco Cookie. He has no in-game ability, unlike Adventurer Cookie, but you should collect more coins in front of you. Run until he is also exhausted or until you've fallen into a hole. Although his role is to give you coin bonus (5% to 25%), his run can give you slightly more coins.
Once you're done, you'll see your score, coins, and XP. Don't bother about your score. What you should focus on are the coins. These are your ticket to purchase stronger cookies thereafter and dominate the game, so be patient.
Before moving on, here's some things you should remember everyday.
Receive Lives from Friends
Have you done what I told you to send them lives? Chances are, they are sending them back to you already! Be sure to check out regularly on the bottom right of the leaderboard. You will see a mail icon with a heart that tells you how many lives you can claim. Click there and click "Send and Receive All" at the top of the page. You will then be sending lives back to them and receive yours. See how this works? It started off a chain reaction, where you can get more hearts from them later on in the game! Just make sure you don't do it frequently, as you are only able to send them 1 lives every hour per person. Leave it be, and check it out again in 1 hour or 1 day.
Open your Gifts Lucky Draw
- Main Article: Gift Points
Gift Points are another way to reward you for playing, by spending your coins, by sending lives, invites, et cetera. For every 100 Gift Points, you will get a chance to open one of the five presents offered. You can start by tapping the gift progress bar in the bottom of the leaderboard. Select Gifts Lucky Draw, pick one present, and you will get your reward. From your invites and sending lives, you can get TONS of Gift Points for you to collect and open some more Gifts Lucky Draw. You can receive rewards from just coins to free pets and cookies! Be sure to check back once you collected enough points to open up again!
Just remember that statistically, every 100 Gifts Lucky Draws, it is estimated that you can get 200,000, so it's a pretty good short cut to gain additional coins!
In summary...
Wow. You've gone a pretty good way to start the game! Way to go! I assure you, this is the best way to level up fast in Cookie Run. Before leaving Chapter 1, make sure to do these daily:
Okay! Great! You've settled the game and ready to embark on Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Increasing your Coin Value per play! Edit
You're set to generate coins, but oh no, you can only generate that much coins, do you? Wish you can collect more? Now here's some of the things you should spend those coins you get to. You can do it in any order, but you should read the function of each, and you can choose on your own which you would like to do first.
Remember that you will need extensive time to farm those coins. It's for your own good to run faster.
Upgrade Buttercream Choco Cookie to Lv8
Your relay Cookie starts with 5% Coin bonus. That's not a huge multiplier though. We can increase this, however, by upgrading him. You should focus on him first, since his upgrade cost is relatively low, compared to Angel Cookie and Adventurer Cookie. Once you've upgraded him to his maximum level, you'll receive a free treasure, Buttercream Choco Cookie's Butter. Hey! Extra 3% Coin! You should equip this instantly in your treasure equip page.
Upgrade your health!
- Main article: Energy Boost
Health allows you to run further, making the cookie last longer in game. There are 60 levels offered for you to use, and you're starting at level 1. Upgrade as necessary. I would advise you to upgrade until you can reach the final stage of episode 1. You will know you've reached the final stage when you hear the theme song change. In addition, you will unlock the second stage, the Primeval Jungle! Congrats! From there, you should spend your coins on other places. It's your call, but you can upgrade your energy to Lv60 if you like. It's a long-term investment after all.
Upgrade your Bonus Time!
- Main article: Bonus Time
Bonus Time is also a great way to get additional coins. Upgrading it will make your Bonus Time journey longer. There are 60 levels, but you should upgrade it to level 30, as upgrades above level 30 is just increasing the score multiplier in Bonus Time. You don't need that for now.
You should not upgrade your jelly unless you're bored with the blue small bean and wanted a different color or shape. I wouldn't advise you to upgrade above level 20 for now.
Upgrade Angel Cookie to Lv8
Again, we know what our objective here is. We wanted the treasure, Angel Cookie's Holy Feather, which you can use with your Adventurer Cookie to attract more coins during the game. It will also be used later in your scoring later on, so keep this intact!
- Upgrade your Angel Cookie's Holy Feather to at least +8
40 in exchange, but that doesn't really count that much. Keep upgrading until you reached at least +8. If you're feeling lucky, you can just straight away upgrade it to +9, but do not, I repeat, DO NOT use your crystal to upgrade, even though it gives you 100% chance of upgrading. Just keep the crystal for yourself for now.
At the end, once you reached enough diameter for the magnetic aura to pull coins to your cookie, you will get many more coins per run. I promise.
Upgrade Adventurer Cookie to Lv8
Upgrading him will make him descend into the Hidden (Coin) Ruins more often, which gives you more coins per run. You can either replace Buttercream's treasure, or you can buy another cheap cookie (such as Bright Cookie) to unlock the second slot for your treasure so that you can equip more than one treasure!
Upgrade Gold Drop to Lv8
Your pet will generate 100 coins every set interval. Upgrading Gold Drop will decrease the time needed for Gold Drop to generate the next 100 coins. Fully upgrading him will grant you another treasure, the Gold Drop's Pure Gold Bar. This is definitely a much better version of Buttercream Choco's treasure. You should equip this, as it will help you get extra 6% Coin bonus every run. Adventurer Cookie's treasure, Adventurer Cookie's Cinnamon Rope provides a 7% coin bonus (that you can upgrade to 9% with coins), so you may want to use that instead of Gold Drop's treasure once you have fully upgraded him (which will get expensive, the first upgrade costing 32 000 and the last costing 59 000).
So at the end, with two treasure slots open, your set-up should be either one of these:
|Random Boost
Level 8
Level 8
Level 8
If you're ambitious enough and reached Level 25 and unlocked the third slot, you can just use Adventurer Cookie's treasure, and get an extra coin bonus!
|Random Boost
Level 8
Level 8
Level 8
If you've achieved this setup, then you're good to go! Your hard work has paid off, and in case you need additional coins, you can just return to this setup. You can save this combination in your "Original Combi", located in the Cookies, Pets, or Treasure page.
Summing it up: Upgrade your Health to Max (And progressively your Jelly and Bonus Time upgrades)
Now you've got your coin-generating setup ready, you can use it to grab as much coins as you can and upgrade your health to Lv60. This will ensure longevity of your run, enabling you to get some high scores in the future! Clearly, the most important variable in the game is your health, so be sure to fully upgrade it.
From here on you are ready to enter the third chapter. During your progress on Chapter 3 later, you can start upgrading your Jelly Upgrades and continue the upgrades on your Bonus Time. If you can't do it fast, don't rush. You can take it slow, or take it fast. All in all it's your call, but you won't be able to achieve a very good score until you've finished the third chapter anyway.
I suggest you upgrade your Jelly Upgrades to Level 20 for now, as the upgrades beyond it are quite incrementally expensive.
In summary...
By the end of the chapter, you should have increased your coin collection per game pretty significantly compared to what you had at the end of Chapter 1. Now you can farm coins way easier and get a lot more. But the game hasn't ended there yet. Before moving on, make sure to occasionally do these things:
- Upgrade your Health to Maximum
- Upgrade your Bonus Time to Maximum
- Upgrade your Jelly to Maximum
Now let's get to the fun part!
Chapter 3: Exploring the Random Variable Edit
Welcome to the third chapter of the guide, where you will be exploring things that will be different for each of you players. It's pretty hard from this point on as what you get, depending on your luck, will have different approaches. Listen, Cookie Run is a game that pretty much depends on chances, so whatever you get, it will either move you forward or let you stay back until you get enough crystals to do it again. I've warned you from the first chapter. Please do keep your crystals. They are very useful on several thing: Pets and Treasures.
From here on, I assume you already had your coin farming set-up ready to go when you don't have enough coins to move forward. But let me introduce you to ONE more way to gain coins.
Enter Ghost Pirate's Island of Coins
Here is one more episode for you to try. You can access it once you completed 30 episode achievements in Primeval Jungle, in which I assume you have already unlocked during your way in Chapter 2. The task is easy. You can go to the upper right side of the leaderboard panel and you can see various achievements you can unlock. This is fairly easy, even for new players, so please do give a try. You can also win lots of rewards in the process.
Once you managed to complete 30 episodes achievement in Primeval Jungle, it's time to enter the Special Episode.
- Main article: Ghost Pirate's Island of Coins
Hey, you're in! Welcome to the first and only special episode in the game! This is a special episode where players can only find coins (and Mystery Boxes) in the whole stage. You don't compete on points, but on how many coins per play. That's why the leaderboard score is so low. There are also twists:
- Huge Collision Damage. Players take twice as much damage than usual.
- Magnetic Aura, Cookie Relay, and Boost Items are disabled.
- Cookie and Pet Abilities are disabled. All cookies become the same. (With the exception of the cookie's health)
Therefore, the only customization available while playing on this Episode is your combination of treasures. You can choose whatever accompanying pet you have, and it will follow you, but it won't help you.
You can use your treasures that gives you coin bonus, as it will also increase your score. Don't use your Angel Cookie's Holy Feather, as it will have no effect.
Next thing that you need to know is that you will need keys to play a game, not hearts. It cannot be replenished by inviting friends, but you can convert 20 lives into a key (although only 5 times a day). To make it worse, you can only store a maximum amount of 3 keys (excluding additional bonus keys). But it's fine. You will have your keys back every 20 minutes if it's less than 3 so you can play and compete more.
Now let's play. Be sure NOT to crash at all, and collect all giant and gold coins in your way. If you think you can't reach it, then don't take it. You don't want to get additional 100 coins for the sake of losing 80 energy (instead of 40). At the end, you will notice that the coins collected in the game will add up to the coins in your bank. It's a pretty effective way to farm coins, as you can get pretty high amount of coins in such a short time, while at the same time, compete in the leaderboards. Don't forget to level up your energy too.
Once you're done, you can come back any time to play and collect coins in Ghost Pirate's Island of Coins. Let's move on.
Unlock Dragon's Valley
- Main article: Dragon's Valley
Let's open up the third episode in the game. All you have to do is to complete 60 episode achievements in Primeval Jungle, and you've unlocked Dragon's Valley! It is harder than the previous episode. It's a challenge to survive, since it only have 8 stages. But all the stages are very long compared to the previous episodes, and without Magnetic Aura, it is extremely challenging. Do give it a chance if you like :)
Buy Adventurer Cookie
He is a fairly easy to get, and you should have gotten him as he is the best coin farming cookie as of the current season. Please do, and you can now use him to grind for one additional Mystery Box as a perk aside from him being a fantastic coin farmer! Mystery Boxes are the flying boxes seen in every episode in the game. There are always three of them in each episode, and you can get one more mystery box from Adventurer Cookie. You can get various ingredients from it. It may seem irrelevant for now, but you will need him later in this chapter.
Find a Benchmark for your Future Combination
- Main article: Try My Friend's Combination
Before opening up the random variable, we should take a peek at your friend's combination. In each episode, you can take a peek at your friend's highest score combination by clicking "Friends" in the bottom part of the leaderboard. If you added your friends or strangers, you can see their combination of Cookies, Pets, and Treasures to achieve their scores. Take note of the top three combinations, and move on.
Alternatively, you can also take note of the best combinations on YouTube that can generate lots of points and coins, and work your way to get all their set-ups from here on.
Side Note: If you want our recommendations of what combinations to get, Akrie has an article to get the best combination in Cookie Run's Popularity Contest.
Open up Pets
- Main article: Pets
Alright. Here is our first pathway. Depending on what you get, it will affect your progress, so be sure to hold on to your luck. Now you probably only have Gold Drop and Drop of Choco in your Pet library. We want more to be able to compete with others. First, let me explain first how you get pets in this game.
Pets are unique. You can only hatch them through crystals, or buy in a Flash Sale for 99, which I don't recommend buying. You can invest your crystals on these three eggs:
|Common Egg ( 1)
|Rare Egg ( 10)
|Extra Rare Egg ( 20)
|Lucky Draw Egg (Gifts Lucky Draw)
Of course, we will be looking at the S-grade pets for the record, as the lower-grade pets is not too reliable for competitions and are only there to serve the purpose of making S-grade Pets hard to obtain. There are LOTS of S-grade pets that is ready for you, so getting a specific S-grade Pet is much more harder.
You may see that there's a Pets Lucky Draw egg. Yes, you can use it to gain additional Pets crystal-free. To do it, you need to win the egg on Gifts Lucky Draw, which you can get for every 100 obtained. This will ease you up to free up chances to get other pets in the process.
Alright, so it really depend on chances of what pet you are going to get. It's a high wager because you are spending crystals on it. Well, there's a way to narrow the chances. If you upgrade your pet to Level 8, you WILL NOT get the same Pet again. So whatever pet you are having right now, you will want to upgrade it to Level 8 to narrow the chances of getting the Pet that you wanted.
Back to the hatching, you will want to hatch the Extra Rare Egg. It's expensive, but that's the only way to get the S-grade Pets. As described in the table above, there's a high chance that your first new pet would be an A-rank Pet. If that's so, upgrade it to Level 8 before hatching it again. Well, there's only 5 hatchable A-grade Pet, but there's more than 30+ S-grade Pets to collect. At best, you may want to get rid of your chances of getting the A-grade Pets by collecting all of them and fully upgrade them. Once you fully upgrade them, your next hatch will ALWAYS be an S-grade Pet.
Now, if you have an S-grade Pet, make sure to fully upgrade them as well to avoid getting the same Pet again. Hey! It costs you 20 crystals, so DON'T waste your crystals for something that you have already owned!
Here's the list of Pets that can help you in your point-generating career. You can literally use any of the S-grade Pet to help you, but the list here are just some of our recommendations.
|Enchanted Locket
|Brain Gum (Recommended)
|AWOL Cracker
|Glitter Ball
|Foxy Bead
|Lemon Slice
|Fluffy Cheese Cat (Recommended)
|Purple Candle (Recommended)
|Jelly Scale
|Oak Barrel
|Flame Bat
|Ms. Do-Re-Mi
|Tea Cup (Recommended)
The thing is, with whatever Pet you get in your hatch, you can use it with the paired cookie and you will be able to score high. I do not list all of the S-rank Pets, but the one that is not mentioned can also help you get high scores too, like Pistachio Firefly, for example.
Congrats! You probably have your second S-rank Pet that is hatched from the egg! Depends on your luck, you may or may not get one of the recommended pets above. Let's keep your crystals above 50 for the time being.
Open up Treasures
- Main article: Treasures
Alright. Here is the most distinguished features of the game. Treasures. They are the key to your Cookie Run career as well as the game changer of your run. Like Cookies and Pets, the only treasures that we want to get is the S-rank treasures. No less.
Again, I have some bad news. Although some treasures can be obtained by upgrading Cookies and Pets to Level 8, the best S-grade treasures are stored in the Supreme Treasure Chest, which you can open for 25 each. There are TONS of treasures that you can obtain, and you MAY receive some duplicates, unlike Pets. There is no way to get rid of the chance of getting an A-rank treasures, so if you get it, you have to deal with it.
If you follow this guide carefully, you may use your remaining crystals to open the Big Set, which is located on the far right side in the Treasure page. You can access the treasure page on the panel just above the play button. From there, you can open up 7 Supreme Treasure Chests and the game will guarantee you to deliver you at least 3 S-grade treasures. There's also a very minute chance that you can get all 7 S-grade treasures, but that would be ultra rare.
If you have your Supreme Treasure Tickets collected since the first chapter, you may want to use it right now.
Oh, and aside from regular treasures, there are also Power+ Treasures, that could give you stuff every day, including free crystals. Own lots of these, and you can build up your own crystal-generating engine, which we will discuss in later chapters.
You can see the list of treasures in the Treasures article. Be sure to check them out.
Here is some of my recommended treasures to have. You may or may not get any of these treasures. Be happy if you do, and don't be sad if you don't. You are always able to open it again once you have enough crystals.
Click the image to view the treasure article. The trivia section in each article may provide you with strategies as to what Cookies and Pets are best used with, or whether they are useful for the Special Episode 2, Tower of Frozen Waves, as well as for the use of Coin Farming. They are sorted by random.
Take these Power+ treasures if you managed to get it. These are the treasures that can generate crystals every day for you.
Come back and open up another Supreme Treasure Chests if you have enough crystals to open. The best advice is to wait to reach another 119 to open the Big Set, which costs less than the regular Supreme Treasure Chests which may cost you 25 per treasure. If you decide to open it up again, you can get discounted crystal price. You can also wait for the Better Chances of Getting S-grade Treasure to boost up the chances of getting that S-grade treasures.
All in all, you can experiment and use any treasures that you have. If it is useless, you can sell it or extract the treasure to gain Magic Powder, which is useful for evolving treasures.
- Upgrade those Treasures
Remember what I told you in the second chapter about upgrading your Angel Cookie's Holy Feather? Yeah. Let me re-tell. You are going to upgrade a S-rank TREASURE, which is notorious for the chance of failure in upgrading. From the first three levels, you will upgrade just fine, but starting from +4, you can expect failures in upgrading, which will consume most of your coins. Therefore, to save time, just upgrade the treasures that you think you need most. If you think you don't need it for the time being, leave it be, and use your coins for something else. A word of advice: You may want to fully upgrade your Angel Cookie's Holy Feather to +9, as it can be used for many point-generating combinations. Go.
- Evolve Treasures
- Main Article: Evolve Treasures
- Main Article: Evolve Treasures
- Here is another fun part. At anytime now, if you happen to get one or two from the top line of the recommended treasures above, you may want to evolve them. Evolving a treasure can give you a more powerful version of it, which could help you boost your score in-game.
- To access the page, simply go to the treasure page, and select Evolve Treasure. You will be directed to the evolve treasure page. You are going to need the exact ingredients though to evolve it. If you don't have the ingredients yet, you may search it by the Mystery Boxes found in each episode in the game. You can see where the ingredient can be found by looking at the description. Just tap the ingredient and you can see where to get it. SS-rank are very rare and hard to get. To make it easier, you may use your Adventurer Cookie to get additional Mystery Boxes to increase the chance to get the ingredient you want so that you can use the ingredient to evolve treasures that you want to evolve.
- Once you get the ingredients, you can now evolve the S-grade treasures for 68,000 or 99. Upgrading it through crystals can give you a chance to special evolve the treasure to become a blessed treasure, which gives an even more powerful form of the treasure. But since you are short of crystals, I wouldn't advise to use it for now. You can cheat your way by paying, but it's your call.
Get the Relevant Cookies
- Main article: Cookies
Depending on what Pets and Treasures you got, each of you will buy different cookies. You can use the recommendation pet guide to get the cookie you needed. Also I suggest you build up slowly, and complete the requirement needed for you to be able to buy the Cookies with Coins. Seriously. Invest your crystals on Pets and Treasures. You don't want to waste your crystals on something that you should be able to buy with coins.
The only exception is to buy Mint Choco Cookie. As it is a vital cookie to own, the unlock requirement for the cookie is high at the beginning (score 2 000 000 points). For new players, it is best to use crystal to start farming coins.
You can check each of the unlock requirement of the Cookies on the Cookie article. The link's above.

You're set to start your journey generating crystals and get a pretty big score. During the way in the guide, I assume you're already work your way to complete events by yourself without me telling you to do it. Good.
To keep you attached to the game, the developers are giving you some free crystals by completing some events that they give every week. Work your way and complete the events to gain additional crystals for you to spend on getting Pets and getting Treasures until you get the exact one from your benchmark.
Unlock The City of Wizards
- Main article: The City of Wizards
Let's open up the final episode in the game. All you have to do is to complete 50 episode achievements in Dragon's Valley, and you will unlock this episode. It is the hardest episode of the game so far. Although the difficulty stated is "Normal", it is harder than the previous episode. It has 10 challenging stages, but it has dynamic obstacles which require player to rely on the jelly trail.
The episode focuses on Dark Moon Jelly, which score huge points and is scattered all along the episode. Collecting many of those will boost you up through the leaderboards.
In summary...
This is a rather long guide, and depending on what treasure and pet you have, you are now on your own. Start gathering more coins, and upgrade those Pets. Keep opening and hopefully you will get the Pet that you wanted as well as the treasures you needed for you to have the highest point possible. In this chapter, remember to occasionally:
- Complete Events
- Hatch an Extra Rare Egg ( 20) and fully upgrade them
- Open up Supreme Treasure Chest ( 25 or 119)
Chapter 4: Building Your Crystal Engine Edit
Did you notice something being repeated all throughout this article? Yes, Crystals! Being the 'limited' currency of the game, Crystals are very valuable and can be used to improve gameplay greatly! However, Crystals do not come by easily. A Crystal Engine can help you generate lots of crystals reliably.
Just remember that crystals are used to do a lot of things:
- Opening up Supreme Treasure Chests (or Good Treasure Chests)
- Buying Extra Rare Eggs
- Expanding Treasure Cabinet if you think it's about to get full anytime.
- Special Evolve Treasures
- Lifting you up from falling in-game.
There's a few ways you can get Crystals, such as:
- Logging in every day for the Daily Bonus (Depending on the day, 1-15)
- Crystal generating treasures
- Events
- Coupons
- Gift from Mystery Jewels
- Lucky Draw box from playing friends' combis
- Buy some at the shop
- Fortune Cookies
But, it's not all that easy. Let's see here:
- Events doesn't always give you Crystals, and events that do may have rather difficult goals to get Crystals.
- Although coupons give you a decent amount of crystals, they do not come often and are only valid for one-time use. Also, it seems that Devsisters haven't been giving coupons nowadays.
- After getting the crystal gifts from Mystery Jewels, you cannot get them again.
- Playing with a friend's combo ten times is required to open a Lucky Draw box, which means one Lucky Draw box opened every ten days, and you may not even get crystals.
- Not everyone is willing to spend their money to get crystals
- Fortune Cookies are notorious for giving many other things other than crystals, such as gift points, coins, and magic powder. Even if you get crystals, it is extremely rare to be able to get more than 50 crystals, even though it is inherently possible.
In conclusion, there's only two reliable ways to generate crystals:
- Logging in every day to see whether your daily bonus would give you crystals.
- Crystal generating treasures
By using crystal generating treasures, you'll get more crystals for the first log-in of the day. Here, you'll learn the most efficient way to get Crystal.
The objective for this chapter is to make you ready to generate more crystals by collecting treasures that allows you to get additional crystals by logging in every day. You see that every day, you will get one crystals as a bonus, but if you have enough crystal-generating treasures, you can get TONS of crystals every day. The amount of crystals are random, since the game will use their chances to draw whether or not you get the crystals from the treasure. For example:
Crystal Pearl Earring
|This treasure will give you up to 50% chance that you will get one additional crystal if you log-in on the next day. When you log in, there's a chance where the treasure give you the crystal, but there's also a chance where the treasure did not.
Imagine if you have 50 of these. You can get additional 50 crystals, depending on the chances the game gives you! That's what we call crystal engine.
This will be a long-term objective for all of you new users alike. Even veterans are still trying to collect as much as they can to generate more crystals every day. You can see the list of crystal-generating treasures in the Crystal page. Since you are new, we compile some treasures for you to grab. This is fairly easy, and does not require the Supreme Treasure Chests.
Acquire Non-Chest Crystal-Generating Treasures
There are lots of crystal-generating treasures that came from Supreme Treasure Chest. You can see it on Chapter 3 above. If you happen to get one or two of them, keep it! You are already one step ahead!
Here are some of the treasures that can help you get additional crystals during your first login of the day. Make sure to hunt it out!
|Collection Method
|Prophet Cookie's Majestic Beard
|Prophet Cookie Level 8
|Snow Globe's Crystal Crown
|Snow Globe Level 8
|King Choco Drop's Jelly Crown
|King Choco Drop Level 8
|Lv.50 Golden Club Trophy
|Reach Level 50
|Lv.60 Legends Club Trophy
|Reach Level 60
|Lv.70 Club Trophy
|Reach Level 70
|Strangely Familiar Blue Necklace
|Complete the first mission of Floor 100 in Tower of the Frozen Waves.
It will take a while, as unlocking Prophet Cookie requires you to fully-upgrade 20 cookies, and Pets are drawn by chances. If you play long enough in Escape from the Oven, you can get King Choco Drop fairly fast by collecting mystery jewels. Again, that depends on your luck.
Play long enough, you can reach Level 50 and 60 easily. If you want to level up fast, you can visit how to gain XP fast here.
Make sure to upgrade those treasures! They are worth upgrading with coins! We will discuss this after this section:
Invest on Supreme Treasure Chests
Yes, we're back here. I told you why Supreme Treasure Chests are the spotlight of the game! If you have at least 2-3 treasures listed above, you can have 25 every week to open a new S-rank treasures in the Supreme Treasure Chests. The cool thing is, even though if you did not get the crystal-generating treasure when you open it, there's still a chance that you can get cool treasures such as the one I listed above on Chapter 3. Keep an eye on that one too.
Oh, and as I mentioned in Chapter 3, you can get this as much as possible. So it's possible to get 10 Big Crystal Ore, for example. That will give you up to 50 per login!
Again, here are the list of treasures that you want to get in Supreme Treasure Chests.
|Collection Method
|Crystal Pearl Earring
|Great Treasure Chest, Supreme Treasure Chest
|Rare Sapphire Brooch
|Supreme Treasure Chest
|Giant Crystal Ring
|Supreme Treasure Chest
|Big Crystal Ore
|Supreme Treasure Chest
|Rare Crystal Clam
|Supreme Treasure Chest
|Translucent Crystal Alarm Clock
|Supreme Treasure Chest
Collect these as much as you can. They are the one that makes you powerful and become able to collect all pets, open up the 7-pack Supreme Treasure Chests, and even special evolve treasure in order for you to acquire blessed evolved treasures! If you're at this stage, you are probably have succeeded and are able to get the treasures you wanted easily.
Upgrade those Crystal-Generating Treasures
Upgrading those treasures will INCREASE the chance that the game will award you with crystals. It's probably the safest to upgrade all of them to +9, but if you don't feel like upgrading everything, we sort the upgrade priority for you. We do this by calculating how much crystals you can per day on average by the effect of upgrading. The formula would be
Crystal x chance. We call this the Crystal-Chance ratio.
The number with the highest margin would be the top priority for you to upgrade.
|No. of Crystals
|Crystal/Chance Ratio
At +0
|Crystal/Chance Ratio
At +9
Translucent Crystal Alarm Clock
Lv.70 Club Trophy
Rare Crystal Clam
Big Crystal Ore
Giant Crystal Ring
Rare Sapphire Brooch
Lv.60 Legends Club Trophy
Commemorative 4 Layer Cake
Lv.50 Golden Club Trophy
Prophet Cookie's Majestic Beard
Snow Globe's Crystal Crown
King Choco Drop's Jelly Crown
Crystal Pearl Earring
Wait and Repeat
This will become your weekly cycle for now on. Collect your crystals from the crystal-generating treasures, and once you reached 25 and above, you can open up another Supreme Treasure Chest. If you're lucky, you can get another of these treasures, and it will most definitely help you gain 25 faster.
If you're patient enough (or you have enough Crystal-Generating Treasure that can give you on average of 10 per day), you can wait up to open the 119 6+1 Big Set. You will get 7 Supreme Treasure Chests for a cheaper cost than opening up 1 for 25.
In Summary...
We added this section for you to invest on Supreme Treasure Chests in order to get more crystals for you to spend it again later. You can do this fully, but make sure you don't forget the task on Chapter 3: Hatch Extra Rare Egg for Pets if possible. I know this will be a long cycle, but once you think you are ready, you are ready to move on to the final chapter of the guide.
While you are going, make sure you occasionally:
- Upgrade your Crystal-Generating Treasures.
- Open up Supreme Treasure Chests, the normal or big set. It's up to you.
- Repeat.
Chapter 5: Getting All Cookies and Pets Edit
|Please help us construct the Ice Bridge!
Contents in this article is still under construction, work-in-progress, or partly completed. Please help Cookie Run Wiki by completing the information.
To get all Cookies, your best bet would be to start from the bottom up. Meaning, from the C-rank cookies all the way up to the most recent cookie. Or better yet, if you're lucky, you could get an L-rank Cookie (L means Legend) from Episodes 2-4 to help you score points! However, take note that L-ranked cookies are extremely costly to upgrade, so make sure you have enough coins before upgrading them! It is always recommended to use coins to buy your cookies, so make sure you can complete their requirements before you buy the cookie, unless you find that it is of paramount importance that you get the cookie using crystals.
In the past, when General Jujube Cookie wasn't de-buffed, Jujube Cookie was such an OP (over-powered) cookie that it was extremely worth it to buy him with crystals, and even more so because he can double up as a coin farming cookie. At his height, he could farm more than 150,000 with the Burning Time event being active. However, since the February 5th update, Jujube Cookie is no longer as powerful as before, but he is still the go-to cookie for most advanced players as he still can reap at least 90,000 with the right treasures. For more information, check out Coin Farming.
But first and foremost, pets are your top priority. They're easier to get, and they don't have requirements. To top it all off, they are cheaper to get as compared to cookies. One S-rank pet can simply set you back 20, but an S-rank cookie will set you back 119 crystal or even more if it's a Cookie that shares its power with other cookies, such as Special Force Cookie. However, you must take note that if you have any non-fully upgraded pets, there is a high chance that the 20 will be used for a pet upgrade instead of acquiring a new pet. There are some cookies that will be unlocked just by acquiring their pet, so do complete and max out your entire pet collection, especially pets that give you Power+ Treasures when you max them to Level 8!

Wedding Save the Dates tend to follow a typical formula:
Engagement Photo + Fancy Typography = Postcard/Magnet Save the Date
It's a tried and tested formula, and it works for most wedding couples. It probably would have worked for us, but we didn't have an engagement session booked yet. So we figured this was an opportunity to do something outside the box. We were already shucking tradition by making a video invitation, so why not have a little fun with the save the dates too?
When we booked our wedding reception venue at the Clocktower Restaurant, like any good eighties kid, we couldn't help but think of Back to the Future. While a BTTF themed wedding
sounded awesome didn't seem like the right fit, we wanted to do something to honor the clocktower. One day while cleaning out her closet Amanda came across her red puffy vest from high school (really, when will she ever wear it?) when lightning struck (pun intended)… Back to the Future themed Save the Dates!
Instead of recreating the movie poster, we created a postcard based on the "Save the Clocktower" flyer in the original movie.
Video is of course our passion, but we love to create and play in other media formats as well. So if you're looking for a custom save the date, birthday party invitation, or graduation announcement, then look no further. We'll help bring your idea to life on screen or in print.

We have a new member to the clan. He is B1TCH-A55. I have made many updates to the page today. New GFX and files to download and new waves and midis. More stuff to come.
Again more boring months... No one is challenging us and most of the members have lost interest... [sigh] I hope it picks up or we may have to disband... In other news, I have started playing Amtgard, which is a live action RPG and swordplay game. Well, so long Rabid Doggers... I hope our clan will flourish...
Long time since the last update... Not much news on the front... We have a CLAN E-mail address at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, I've got two more skins done... Raistlins skin is done... and it's... Raistlin... I've also made a new clan skin... The colors show on the front on the letters and the new logo shows on the back. We'll also be holding OFFICIAL CLAN MEETINGS every week on Friday at 6:00pm. They will be held on spider.dal.net in the room #RDC. If you attend, please do not interfere with non-Quake or non-clan relatd issues. That's the newsy, so long, persons of the Rabid Dog world!
It's been almost a month, but, boy, did I get a lot of shit done!!! Totally new grafix!!! New members!!! New names!!! The works!!! I'm frikkin glad, too! It was a helluvalotta work!!! Anyway! I've been going on long enough... a coupla more skins and stuff to do! Maybe we'll actuallty get a FREAKIN CLAN MATCH GODDAMN IT!!! >8^(#|.... >:^'.... <:^,.... <|:^|#)... better... ok... that's it... bye.
The first update of the new year!!! I got rid of my ICQ pages since no one visits this page anyway and they were just taking up space. Well, on to the news! Skinner has an updated skin thanks to me. MESs renamed back to that loveable ol' Scribbit. We might just have a clan match this month so keep your eyes peeled for a better RDC page in the near future. I've got some new graphics toys to play with, so I'm gonna start this page with a new look soon. That's all for now... Keep it real... (RaNsAx)
It's that time of the year again! The time where everyone gets presents, everyone's happy, and the ODBC get souped up on Eggnog and Vodka! That's right, It's Christmas time! My gift to everyone is a rocket gib and a frag to each of you! My special gift to STC is that I'm finally starting on KillHawk and General Talon (aka JuJu777)'s skins. I hope you've had a great year everyone! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Well, according to GoldenHog... We can't have any more members joing the clan... (YEAH... Like anyone WANTS to...) I just got my computer back up... It was down for a week being upgraded to a P166 (WOO HOO). I'm thinking about using a different guestbook, but I'm not really sure. Got a better mouse and keyboard, so Quake is even better to play! Peace out.
Been a while since I updated... I ran out of web space... But, as always, I found a way. Three new members have joined the clan: MACHINE, Bishop, and SilentHunter. Scribbit changed his name to MESs. MysticX changed his skin drastically with Adobe Photoshop and it looks good. Added a DEFAULT skin. My name is officially RaNsAx thanks to all the people that voted in. Added a coupla Haiku and a Limerick (keep em comin guys!). Thats about it. Thanks.
I've added some more links and a download page. I'm gettin' this page on its feet!!! I also have more allies added to the clan. I made the Clan skin for TUF, its cool, well, its ok. TTFN.
Ok, Bratt decided she didn't want to be in the clan after all. I changed my skin a little bit. I submitted this page to many search engines a few minutes ago... plan to see it on them shortly. I've also added the new Haiku and Limericks sections. That's about it...
I'm currently designing/making a skin for each head general of the Steel Talon Clan. I've been doing a lot to this page to make it an ICQ related page as well. Now, I've got a midi or a sound on damn near EVERY page now! Three cheers for me! Hooray! Hooray! HOORAY! (BOOO!!!) WHO SAID THAT?!
The Steel Talon Clan BEGGED for our superior forgiveness, so we accepted... hesitantly... after tormenting them for about a week! (Heh Heh) I still didn't get the new guy's info... I accidentally deleted HER info. And I haven't gotten contact from HER since... I made a "boner" of a mistake and deleted HER info. In other news, I've finished HeftySmurf's skin. It is cool. That's all the news for now. Peace.
The following name changes have been made: MadRush = Killdare; Johan von Nippleheimer = HeftySmurf; MiseryMachine = PurpleHaze; Q-Skinner = Skinner... I have made a new skin for Lord-Twisted and Killdare... I am currently making one for HeftySmurf. We welcome a new member to the clan... but SHE's a secret right now...
I re-made GH's skin in the past 2 nights. ZD also sent me a skin and I spent a couplea days trying to get the shading... you can check out the progress made on the Skins Page. I'm sad to report that those shit talking dumbasses with NO CLAN or CLAN PAGE, The Steel Talon Clan, would like to be our rivals... I'm sorry, but I don't DO rivals... They are ENEMIES. The opposition WILL be CRUSHED... That is all.
Not much to report, just seeing if people are paying attention. I'm working on ZD's new skin... thats about it... I'll add more stuff when I become a Premium Member of Tripod.
.....Well, a LOT has happened since I last updated this page.... We've done a HELLUVALOT of renovations and are continuing to do them as you read this. This is the first OFFICIAL NEWS of the Rabid Dog Clan. We are going to add a Downloads Page and we just added this Brand-Spankin New News page!
.....Bilbo/PimpDaddySpawn/NAVARIN REJOINED the clan saying, "I know I said I was gonna wait till Quake II came out, but then I said, 'What the hell!'" His new name is Rabsher. I will also be adding a clan name origin section on the main page for you people who want to know where our CrAzY names came from in our sick, twisted little minds.
.....We've gotten a few new members as well. Let's see, there's MadRush, MiseryMachine, Johan von Nippleheimer, ChillyWilly, ShadowLord, (yber|)runk, and maybe you, if you're lucky.
(p.s. This page has been on members.tripod.com for many months now, just to straighten things out... the news underneath is from way back when the clan first started and we had only 7 members.)
.....Hello and welcome to the Rabid Dog Clan's Home Page. Does anyone know "HTML"??? If so, contact me IMMEDIATELY! I need help getting this page on its feet! (I've been trying to figure out how to put midis etc. on pages...)
.....Hello, loyal Quakers and Clan Members! This is your ol' buddy RaNsAx again. Anubis changed his name to "ZeroDouji." .....Bilbo/PimpDaddySpawn/NAVARIN has QUIT THE CLAN! It appears that he has too many extracurricular activities (that's why I avoid them at
all costs!).
.....In other news, ALMOST ALL the skins are finished. There are about 2 in progress and about 1 still left to get started on. Check out MY Quaiku and limericks at Quake, the Universe, and Everything (look for the name RaNsAx) and GoldenHog's article in QuakeWeek. I'm learning a little bit of HTML, so the page is gonna be moved to tripod.com shortly (no date yet) and it'll have much more than this page does. Like more Quake related links and downloads of our favorite MODs. Stay tuned.

|Airborne Electronic Attack

EKA-3B Skywarrior
Electronic Attack Squadron 129 (VAQ-129) is the United States Navy's only EA-18G Growler training squadron. Known as the Vikings, they are a Fleet Replacement Squadron, or FRS, and are charged with training all EA-18G aviators and developing standard operating procedures for the maintenance and operation of the aircraft. The squadron is permanently stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, in Puget Sound, Washington.
Operational history[edit]
Heavy Attack Squadron 10 (VAH-10) was established on 1 May 1961 and originally equipped with the A-3 Skywarrior.[1]
During the Vietnam War detachments from VAH-10 were deployed on the following aircraft carriers operating on Yankee and Dixie Stations:[2]
- 14 April-14 December 1964, Detachment A-3Bs were embarked on USS Ticonderoga
- 5 May 1964 – 1 February 1965, A-3Bs were embarked on USS Constellation
- 21 June 1966 – 21 February 1967, Detachment 42 A-3Bs were embarked on USS Franklin D. Roosevelt
- 6 June-15 September 1967, Detachment 59 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Forrestal
- 10 April-16 December 1968, Detachment 66 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS America
- 7 September 1968 – 18 April 1969, Detachment 43 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Coral Sea
- 26 October 1968 – 17 May 1969, Detachment 61 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Ranger
- 2 August 1969 – 15 April 1970, Detachment 19 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Hancock
- 5 March-17 December 1970, Detachment 38 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Shangri-La
- 22 October 1970 – 3 June 1971, Detachment 62 KA-3Bs were embarked on USS Hancock
VAH-10 was re-designated Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron One Two Nine (TACELECWARON129) (VAQ-129) flying the EA-6B Prowlers on September 1, 1970. The change in name brought with it a change in mission. The first EA-6B standard version Prowler was delivered in January 1971. With its arrival, VAQ-129 commenced its career as the Fleet Replacement Squadron for EA-6B fleet commands.
In January 1977, the Navy introduced the first of its Improved Capability (ICAP) version Prowlers. In March 1977, VAQ-129 began training United States Marine Corps aircrew and maintenance personnel to fly and maintain the ICAP version of the aircraft, starting a long training relationship with the Marine Corps. In 1984, the first ICAP II version of the EA-6B arrived.
The Vikings introduced the AGM-88A High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) to the EA-6B in 1986 and the Lancers (VAQ-131) were the first to successfully fire the AGM-88 from the EA-6B. In 1988 they introduced the new "Block 86" version of the ICAP II Prowler. During Operation Desert Storm, an updated HARM capability was introduced, which proved tremendously successful in the subsequent combat operations.
August 1992 saw the Executive Officer's billet filled by a USMC Lieutenant Colonel, further strengthening VAQ-129's relationship with the Marine Corps. In the summer of 2005 the new ICAP III was delivered to the community to pave the way for the follow on platform of the EA-18G.
The retirement of the United States Air Force's EF-111A Raven made the EA-6B and EA-18G the only tactical aircraft in the U.S. inventory capable of performing electronic attack.
On 5 August 2009, EA-18G Growlers from VAQ-129 and Electronic Attack Squadron 132 (VAQ-132) completed their first at-sea carrier-arrested landing (trap) aboard the USS Harry S. Truman.[3]
In 2013, VAQ-129 began training Royal Australian Air Force aircrew to operate the EA-18G.[4]

Clinical Neurophysiology
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.

The first thing that comes to your mind when you are planning to sell your estate jewelry is to determine the current gold price in the market.
You need to visualize all the facts that are related to the estate jewelry.
If you want to find out where to sell estate jewelry, then you may take the assistance of experts in this area.
Gathering some of the information in this field will help you to access the situation clearly.
Estate jewelry may be defined as the jewelry which has been previously owned by the aged person in the family.
A beneficiary of the estate jewelry can collect a good sum of money by selling the jewelry which he/she possesses.
There are certain styles and designs available in the jewelry items. If the estate jewelry you possess is still in demand and style then you can earn a lot of money from it.
If the owned jewelry is old-fashioned then it can be sold only at basic rates; you can't get huge benefits from it.
Here's a great website where you can sell your luxury and estate jewelry:
Sell Your Luxury Jewelry, Diamonds, Gold & Watches | CIRCA
There is a huge difference between the antique jewelry and the estate jewelry. The amount which you gather from the estate jewelry depends mostly on the condition of your jewelry. If the condition of jewelry is good enough then you can earn a lot of money from it.
If your jewelry is broken then there is a need to repair it immediately, so that you can earn a good sum of money from it.
There are certain pieces of jewelry which are impossible to restore to their original shape. In that case, there is no need to spend your money on repairing them because these types of items can be sold out at a minimum price only.

Palm - Shadow Expert EP (2017)
Through their rather short but somewhat noteworthy career Philly four piece Palm have crafted an oddly accessible though certainly off-kilter brand of noise pop. Since their inception at Bard College, the foursome have pushed themselves to explore new sounds and tonal dialogues that meant for fans of the band, you'd often hear a song once and then maybe never again or have to wait several months if not years become you could actually own it. The Shadow Expert EP is their latest release, following an absolutely full length debut Trading Basics.
While first single "Walkie Talkie" gives the impression with its ramshackle jangle that Palm are up to their old tricks, as the EP proceeds there's a growing persistence of melodic coherence. Not that Palm have ever suffered from a lack of coherence in the past but it's hard to imagine a song like the eponymous "Shadow Expert", with its clean, straightforward flow existing on Palm's Trading Basics. But Palm haven't left either their angular guitar lines or their complex, interwoven dynamic or their intricate, atypical rhythms behind. Rather Shadow Expert seems to explore the band dynamic on the most basic of levels by dialing down the fuzz.
Guitarists Eve Alpert and Kasra Kurt are locked in a dance that's not wholly unlike a changing bird formation. Where Kurt might take the lead with Alpert adding in little noisy flourishes, they're capable to shifting roles in an instant. That same sense of impermanence follows along in the vocal lines. One of the most delightful things about Palm's Shadow Expert EP is how fluid the whole thing feels. Buoying melodies and shifting figures both melodic and rhythmic give the sense that you're not entirely on solid ground. What's more, the EP progresses from harsh sounds to clean math pop right back to into harsher realms almost effortlessly. While Palm lean into their more pop sensibilities on the EP, there's a pervasive sense that noise is going to overtake everything laps at the sides of Palm's jangly art pop like oceans waves with varying intensity until "Sign To Signal" where it's presence is such a integral part of what makes it flow.
Given their constant pursuit of new and interesting sounds there's no telling if Shadow Expert is the kind of pop that Palm have been striving for or if it's merely a pitstop but it's an absolutely incredible entry into a diversifying catalogue that plays to their strengths while also exploring and establishing new ones.
Palm's Shadow Expert EP is out now on Carpark Records.

Life should be a mathematical equation
With one right answer to this question
Where do we go from here?
At that fork in the road where every mom reaches
Where left is right
And right is not wrong.
It tears me to pieces
To wave goodbye to my baby
To miss that important con call
Or skip another PTM
To pass up an opportunity to him
Without rhyme or reason.
The battle must be fought day and night
In the war where all decisions aren't right
Irrespective of what we choose each day
To go to work or stay home all day
Where is that book with all the answers?
If you do find it, don't you conceal it.
Question for the day: This poem was inspired by a mom who told me that each morning it tore her to pieces to leave her 1-year-old in daycare, but she couldn't not work either. I know there are a lot of us around who don't know if we have made the right decision at that fork. What's the answer?

City calls local option liquor election May 7
Service Directory
A local option liquor election to permit the legal sale of all alcoholic beverages including mixed beverages in the City of Cameron will be a ballot issue in a special election May 7.
The City Council called the election Tuesday night after City Secretary Amy Harris reported the petition issued in December had been returned and certified with 362 signatures, exceeding the required number of 307.
The Cameron Chamber of Commerce and local businesses filed the petition and gathered the signatures to seek the special election.
Chamber members Daniel Willie and Neal Bhakta said the measure would help attract more businesses, especially popular restaurant chains.
Noting that some of the chains are now developing smaller facilities for smaller markets, Willie noted that the new Applebees in Taylor "has a small footprint" and pointed out that Taylor economic development officials said they would not have been able to attract the restaurant if the city did not have the "liquor by the drink" permit option.
So far, incumbents in the city council election are unopposed, Harris said, and if no more candidates file by the deadline of 5 p.m. Friday, the council elections could be cancelled. However, the special election will be held.
By law, the city holds elections jointly with Cameron ISD. So far, incumbents in that election are also unopposed.
Harris estimated the special election could cost as much as $8,000 and that poll workers will have to be hired and paid for the early voting days as well as Election Day.
Early voting by personal appearance runs from April 25 through May 3. Early voting for the special election and the city and school elections, if held, will be held at Cameron City Hall, 100 S. Houston. On Election Day, voters will cast ballots for both elections at C.H. Yoe High School.
Incumbents seeking re-election to the Cameron City Council include Mayor Connie Anderle, Ward 2 council member Bobby Schiller and Ward 4 council member Roselee Mondrik. Incumbent school board trustees seeking re-election are Alan Patterson and Jason Dohnalik.

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- Short-term interest-rate futures contracts traded at the Chicago Board of Trade are still pricing in a 92 percent chance that the Federal Reserve raises its target lending rate by a quarter percentage point to 1.75 percent when central bankers meet next week. Those odds were little changed by retail sales figures released Tuesday. Hedgers see a 60 percent chance the rate moves to 2 percent at the Fed's November meeting, also little changed from expectations priced in last week after tame producer price inflation data. The futures markets reflect expectations that the Fed will pause with its rate hikes in December. The chance that the rate stands as high as 2.25 percent by the conclusion of the Fed's February meeting stands at 60 percent, down slightly from 65 percent odds priced in on Friday.

The European Union Social Protection Systems Programme (EU-SPS) is a new European Union action co-financed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Government of Finland. The OECD's Development Centre and the Government of Finland's National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) manage its implementation.
The EU-SPS supports low- and middle-income countries in building sustainable and inclusive social protection systems. The programme will be implemented from 2015 to 2018 in partnership with national and regional social protection authorities, think-tanks and expert institutions in ten countries.
The programme has three specific objectives:
- To develop appropriate methodologies and tools with which to assess the social protection policies, programmes and capacities in ten selected partner countries.
- To enhance administrative and technical capacity in the partner countries to support the development of affordable, sustainable and inclusive social protection systems.
- To generate evidence-based knowledge for future EU co-operation and for use by other development partners on the effectiveness of social protection in reducing poverty and vulnerability, addressing inequality and promoting social cohesion.

Search no more! ADM has what you need to manage your pet's diabetes.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

I remember being very young. Not sure of my exact age but maybe 8 years old or so, and having made breakfast for my great grandmother. She was very thin by then with a mouth full of only gums and her gray hair pulled back with a black hair clamp. I couldn't find a small table to put In front of her chair for her to eat off of so I used the ironing board. It screeched as I opened it and placed it in front of her. When I sat her plate on top of it and moved it closer to her I warned her to be careful because the food was hot. It's one of my last and most vivid memories of her. As I was moving the plate, she stopped me. She looked me straight in the eye and said, "You are special. There's something different about you. You are going to be great one day." It's one of the last things she ever said to me.
I think about that morning and those words often. I feel as though professionally they have come to pass. I believe that Art and Abolition was one of God's great ideas and God chose to make it a reality through me. Art and Abolition is great just like my Gram said it would be. It gives some of the most marginalized girls the great gift of education, healing, and financial stability. I look at my girls grow and change everyday and I am amazed each time.
But this has come at a cost, and to be completely authentic, sometime I'm not sure I have what it takes to pay that cost. When I am feeling that way I think about the greats who had public flaws and vices but still made huge differences in the world like MLK, Nina Simone, and the like. I know it sounds silly but I do. And usually I do that to console myself because although my great grandma was absolutely right, I have done something great with my life, I struggle in my personal life. And I mean really struggle.
The last 2 years have been the hardest and about a month and a half ago I had a mental break down and had to be admitted to the hospital. I had gone through a series of traumatic events and my body just couldn't handle it anymore. I was carrying all the weight of doing this work for the past few years which is extremely heavy especially financially, some of my closest friends and support system pulled away from me because of a misunderstanding that happened when a friend of mine came to visit, one of my girls tried to commit suicide, and I went through a really hard break up with someone I deeply love. It was all too much for me. So, I just broke.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD (from my work). That's not surprising. I fight child rape for a living and am financially responsible for about a dozen children. I've also been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and acute anxiety. Also not surprising. Who wouldn't be depressed and anxious when fighting child rape and trying to keep a dozen kids in school on a shoe string budget?
Before the break happened things got really bad. I am embarrassed to say that I locked myself in my room for about 3 days and did nothing but cry, drink, smoked cigarettes, took sleeping pills, and slept. I didn't eat. I didn't talk to anyone. I just sank and sank until I could felt myself crash into rock bottom and took myself to the hospital.
I have been healing now for about a month and a half. It's still extremely hard, but I am getting better each day. Some days I feel like I am drowning again, lots of days in fact. But the medicine, prayer, meditation, therapy, psychiatry, and focusing on God's love for me is helping me get better.
Sometimes I get sad because I wish I had gotten help sooner because I feel that my sickness pushed some of the people I love away from me. But then I remember that everything happens at the time it is supposed to.
In about a week I get on a plane to America and will get to see most of you who read this blog face to face. I ask for your grace as I am going through a healing process and am not yet fully myself.
This is as honest as I can be.
Much love,

Coaches at a thriving boxing club are hoping to see even more youngsters pulling on the gloves after winning funding for a second training ring.
Newbiggin Community Boxing Club runs daily training sessions for juniors and seniors, and has produced many national boxing champions since it was first set up in 1986, including recent female National Schools Championship winners and Three Nations champions Courtney Scott and Alex Brown.
But its popularity meant that the training facilities were always very busy, with the growing number of members making it difficult for everyone to get as much practice time as they wanted.
Now, thanks to a £4,500 grant from the Banks Community Fund, the club has bought a second training ring, along with a dozen pairs of sparring gloves and 10 pairs of competition gloves.
Club secretary Raymond Scott, former secretary of the British Amateur Boxing Association, said: "Our coaching team has been flat out for as long as we can remember trying to give everyone the training experience that they need to progress within the facilities that we've been able to offer up to now.
"Having this second ring available will make an immense difference to the way in which we're able to work, to the speed at which our boxers can keep developing their skills and fitness levels, and hopefully to the results that we get in competitions. The Banks Group's support will make an invaluable contribution towards our continuing development."
He added: "Keeping the club's finances on an even keel is always a challenge for us, and the money we would have needed to spend to buy this new ring would have been well beyond what was possible."
The club has more than 50 boxing members, aged between eight and 40, and also hosts a large number of non-boxers visitors at its fitness sessions.
Many of its members are second generation boxers who have followed their fathers into the club's ranks, while all the members of its experienced coaching team previously represented it as boxers themselves.
Later this month, Courtney Scott will be heading to Bulgaria to represent England in the European Junior Championships.
The club, which is entirely self-funded and volunteer-run, is aiming to widen participation in the area, as well as to improve the experience of participants in the sport, and it is expecting to see a further surge in visitor numbers as a result of the increased training capacity it now boasts.
Raymond said: "We try to create an atmosphere in which everyone that comes to us develops just as much as a person as they do as a boxer, and we've had lots of examples of shy, insecure young people growing in self-confidence and belief thanks to the encouragement and support they get here."
Jeannie Kielty, community relations manager at the Banks Group, said: "A huge amount of time, dedication and expertise goes into making the Newbiggin Community Boxing Club the inspiring organisation that it is, and we're looking forward to hearing even more success stories coming out of the Club in the future."
The Banks Community Fund provides grants for community groups and voluntary organisations in the vicinity of Banks Group projects.
Anyone interested in applying for funding can contact James Eaglesham at the Banks Community Fund on 0191 3786342 to check if their group or project is eligible.

China is doing a South China Sea in the Indian Ocean. India, on the other hand, is chickening out, leaving common Indians crotchety blanket in the mornings – bad-tempered, irritated. What is happening in India's neighbourhood right now is the absolute biggest challenge for India, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a peace mission in West Asia. How far can we get from reality? Here's an analysis for Different Truths.
Why monitor a problem if you cannot fix it? Why have the Special Forces on standby if you cannot use them to sort out the Maldives problem? It has been a fortnight since the Maldives crisis broke and India is still waiting to strike. If this continues, China will get the islands, and India will get the dog! CNN always has Africa on and China is clearing a watery path to the Dark Continent and the oil via the Indian Ocean.
China is doing a South China Sea in the Indian Ocean. India, on the other hand, is chickening out, leaving common Indians crotchety blanket in the mornings – bad-tempered, irritated. What is happening in India's neighbourhood right now is the absolute biggest challenge for India, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a peace mission in West Asia. How far can we get from reality?
What is Modi waiting for? The journalist/ foreign policy wonk, who wrote India shouldn't get anywhere near the Maldives, just doesn't seem to have savvy. While India's waiting and watching, China has made itself indispensable to the Maldives and its dictator Abdulla Yameen. This half-brother of Maumoon Abdulla Gayoom, who ruled the Maldives with an iron fist for 30 years, is setting himself up as a full-fledged dictator primed to rule the Maldives for 30 long years – no less, maybe more. And 30 years is enough time for China to entrench itself in the Maldives for a thousand years – no less, maybe more.
Why haven't the Special Forces been airlifted to the Maldives so far? Is it because China has cautioned India against taking any precipitous steps? Why should China tell India what India should do and should not do in the Indian Ocean region? It is imperative for India to intercede, and intercede forcefully. All this talk of India asking the United Nations to step in will not stop China from going ahead with its endgame. China doesn't give two hoots to the UN. But like they say in the West, nothing is over till the fat lady sings, and there is still time. The fat lady has not sung, so far.
What did Donald Trump and Narendra Modi talk about the Maldives when the US President called the Indian Prime Minister the other night? Can't be about the weather in the island nation, which is right now not all good and fair for both the US and India. It has definitely got hot for Indian journalists, and the local media in Male. The climate changed in the Maldives when the Chief Justice of the Maldives and another judge were arrested and put in a cell. The rule of law has been subverted in India's neck of woods and India is scared of setting foot in the jungle.
Former President Mohamed Nasheed, who has stationed himself in Sri Lanka, has said it is imperative for India to act, if only for two reasons – "Chinese land grab, and (Islamic) radicalization of the islands". According to the man, who is technically under arrest, the Chinese have taken "control of 17 islands", with promises to invest $40 million in each of the 17. That is a new type of land-grab. Meanwhile, Maldivian "ISIS fighters" are returning from Syria and Iraq and embedding themselves in the local police and defence forces.
Like the local wag in India says it's time for Modi and his government to watch 'China Uncensored' on the Youtube Channel! And while at it, also take a gander at 'Maldives Censored'. Yameen has moved quickly and relentlessly to entrench himself as a dictator. He has a restructured Supreme Court in his pocket, which will do his bidding. According to Nasheed, Yameen is bound to get a majority by "hook or crook".
The island nation is under Emergency. The people are cowed. The media has been castrated. There is no opposition worth the name. "We are trying to get India to come and release him (Chief Justice). I can't understand how our president is able to arrest our chief justice, occupy our parliament and pretend it is business as usual," Nasheed told an Indian newspaper. Same goes for India. How can India continue to behave as if it's business as usual in the Indian Ocean?
Diplomacy has failed to make Yameen see sense. But if diplomacy fails, does that mean all is over? Nasheed believes a very radical form of Islam has invaded the Maldives. Yameen is thick with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative is wound tight around his throat. From Hambantota to Male, China is well on its way to strangle and string India high and dry with a necklace of islands.
"Military is an extension of diplomacy. When diplomatic means fail, that does not mean you pull back. Your problem remains. You engaged diplomatically because there was a problem. You still have to solve the problem. It is another issue whether India listens or not…It's not just our problem. It is your problem as well," Nasheed told the newspaper.
It is not as if it will be a first for India – there was 'Operation Cactus' during Rajiv Gandhi's tenure when Indian paratroopers got Gayoom out of trouble. The crisis in the Maldives is not a "domestic crisis", it is regional and international. Maldives' location places it in a "certain category". The geostrategic importance cannot be overlooked. China is on a two-pronged strategy to contain India's rise. While it has once again started prodding India at Dokla, it's also leading from the front in the Indian Ocean. Modi should dump the "peace-loving, non-interfering nation" image of India in the sea if India wants to be a whale of the Indian Ocean. If China is the shark, which it is.

Women found guilty of murdering their partners get a bad rap, or so says Daily Life contributor Kasey Edwards:
The researchers found that when it came to sentencing male offenders, the judges went out of their way to present the murderers as essentially good blokes who had gone off the rails.
No such understanding for women:
In contrast, the judges were not nearly as understanding and sympathetic to women who had murdered their male domestic partners.
With women, judges preferred to be less social worker, more religious preacher, declaring the wickedness of women:
"It is hard to think of a more callous, heartless, wicked person."
"Your wickedness knew no bounds."
"You chose an horrendous method indeed to carry out this wicked crime."
"You had no compassion, you were heartless."
The judicial comments above are from a 2015 study cited exactly zero times. They are drawn from two particularly heinous spouse murders, one of which was a contract killing for financial gain.
And women who kill men? Well, they're just plain evil.
Anyone who kills without just cause is evil.
