Another HP/STR/INT Maxed Pet Meld Guide [ESO]

• Level 1 fierce AR to Lv120
• Level 1 bright bunny to Lv120
• Meld AR into Bright Bunny with Orange Charm
• Catch and level 1 fierce Storm Raider to Lv120+
• Meld maxed Bright bunny into Lv120+ Storm Raider = Maxed HP. INT/STR

Starter Pets for Pet Meld Maxing [ESO]

NOTE: This guide is originally by iforget, I do not claim ownership for it.

First of all, you need 2 starting area pets. 1 clever Dewdrop Bunny and 1 Chimpsy Chimp of any attitude except Normal.

• Catch one clever Dew Drop Bunny they are located near Roor the Hunter. Then from NPC near Roor, called collector Val, buy one Chimpsy Chimp. If it is Normal attitude, sell it back and buy again. Any attitude is fine as long as it is not Normal
• Now take the Dew Drop Bunny and the Chimpsy Chimp and level them both to approximately Level 120. Take them both to the forge and place Dew Drop Bunny in first as Host Pet and Chimpsy Chimp as Support Pet
• Click preview, if all stats: HP, INT and STR previewed as Maxed, do the meld. If they show under max on preview, level the pets up slightly more and then come back to preview again. This step just cost you, from memory, 2400 spirit
• Now get your Redridge Hatchling and level it as high as you possibly can. The maxed out Dew Drop Bunny to be re-leveled to around Level 120
• Then take both pets to the forge and this time, preview with the Redridge Hatchling as the Host Pet and Dew Drop Bunny as Support Pet. If all stats show maxed, do the meld. If they are below max stats, level them up some more. This step costs around 39400 spirit from memory
• If the top box is higher then the bottom (always left side) then the pet will max on melding

Pet Maxing Guide (Hp/Str/Int + Rank) [ESO]

What happens when you do the Celestial Pet quest from Roor the Hunter and realised the free Panda Cub or Redridge Hatchling has only 2 fusion stats? Of course you don't sell or drop it at all, instead, you can use them as a pet melding tool to increase your main pet's HP, STR and INT to maxed. Read on for more info:

I see there are a few pet melding guides here already, but I'll put this in the basket anyways. Came up with this when I was experimenting with pet melding and stuff. The simplest Hp/Str/Int + Rank Maxer making technique I've come up with till date. Hope this helps in someway.

Pets Required:

• Fierce Panda Cub or Redridge Hatchling -any elemental- (can be bought in-game from players or obtained from lv100+ daily at Roor the Hunter at pokari)
• Bright Dewdrop Bunny -non elemental- (can be caught near Roor The Hunter in Pokari)
• Bright Auto-Repair Android -non elemental- (can be caught in Ole Region near mines using traps that it itself drops when its killed)

First Meld - lv120+ Bright Dewdrop Bunny (Host) + lv120+ Fierce Panda Cub or Redridge Hatchling (Support), using Charm of Memory (Green round charm available at npc Wehn for 500 Gaap Virtue, also available on stalls for 10-20g)

This meld should give you a maxed HP/Str/Int Dewdrop Bunny. The level of this pet you get will be decreased to lv110 or so due to the meld, so you will need to level it again to lv120+.

Final Meld - lv120+ Bright Auto-Repair Android (Host) + lv120+ hp/str/int maxed Dewdrop Bunny from 1st Meld (Support), using Charm of Source (Orange round charm available at npc Wehn for 500 Gaap Virtue, also available on stalls for 10-20g)

This meld should give you hp/str/maxed Auto-Repair Android with rank 500+ This Auto-Repair Android is your (HP/Str/Int) + Rank Maxer Pet.

You can use this Auto-Repair Android at lv120 as support pet to max HP/Str/Int of any Host pet (which also should be lvled to lv120+).

As I explained in the beginning, this Maxed Auto-Repair Android is your HP/Str/Int maxer with rank 500+. This maxed Auto-Repair Android can be used for maxing any pet such as WD/Hulon Firedrake/Panda/Redridge (lv1 evo), etc. Note that the Host and Support pets lvl should be more than lv120 when doing any melds.

Vitamins for Evolving Panda Cub & Redridge Hatchling [ESO]

If you have looked around Heaven's Repository under the Pets - Training tab, you would have noticed the Advanced Vitamins · I, Advanced Vitamins · II and Advanced Vitamins · III selling at 50 e-cent, 1 E-buck and 2 E-buck respectively.

If you can afford to, of course, you would buy those to evolve your maxed Panda Cub or Redridge Hatchling. But what if you do not want to spend any EB on evolving your Celestial Egg pets and yet at the same time, do not mind taking longer to evolved it completely?

Good news! Roor the Hunter has another quest beside Celestial Egg. You get 5 tokens from Roor, where each token need you to kill 100 mobs of your level (or higher) and the rewards are Vitamin · I. Depending on your luck, you can get between 1 Vitamin · I to a few for each token fulfilled. Save all your Vitamin · I. Do you know why?

Bet you might not have thought of it. 10 Vitamin · I can be forged at the Ancestral Forge into 1 Vitamin · II. There you were thinking, why didn't I ever got Vitamin · II as a reward before? That's because we are supposed to forge them into the next level vitamin. Don't believe, see this!

Yep, it definitely can be forged into the next level vitamin. It cost only 1 gold. Whatever gold you spend are mostly on pots to finish the quest and to evolve your pet(s) with the vitamins you already have. Sure, it takes longer than the Advanced Vitamins from Heaven's Repository. But so what? Instead of having to spend a few thousand dollars to evolved the free pet you get from Roor. What you are spending in this case is just time, effort and gold farming with a little bit of patience added in the mix. Whereas someone else have to spend a few thousand for bragging rights to show it off, you can do the same, but without spending a single cent from your bank account.

If the current rate for EB is 1 EB to, for example, 1200G. It would take more than $1000 multiplied by 1200G just to get a Stage 1 pet to evolve to Stage 2. YOu do the math and decide whether it's worth paying that much money in real life for a free pet. Or just work hard at farming gold to convert all your Vitamin · I to Vitamin II and so on.

Hope this helps if you happened to not want to spend too much cold hard cash to get the best stuffs in ESO =]

Celestial Egg [ESO]

Roor the Hunter has a Celestial Egg quest. Before you get all excited, here's the catch:

• Lv90 players can redeem it once between Lv90 - Lv99, thereafter, you have to get to Lv100 in order to get a free egg everyday
• Lv100 players can redeem one Celestial Egg each day per server reset
• Players at Lv120 can redeem up to 2 Celestial Eggs each day per server reset

As soon as you get the Celestial Egg in your bag, right click on it and you will see this:

Hover your mouse on 1 of the stone egg to crack it and reveal your prize. Depending on your luck, there are 5 items that you can get from this Celestial Egg. They are:

• Smart Candy x 1




• Evolvable Egg x 1 (Either Panda Cub or Redridge Hatchling and whatever stats or elemental affinity is random)




• Fragranberry Pack (Right click to get 5)




• Doctrine of Mercy x 1




• Plus! · Treaty of the Sensible: Guarantees Sensible Attitude when you meld a Calm Pet as your host

Extra Tip: So, you get either a fierce Panda Cub or a fierce Redridge Hatchling with stats you do not like. What do you do with it? Fret not! Rahul has made a new pet guide for maxing HP, INT and STR all in one meld and they do not involve too much pet catching in order to do. Sure, you still need bright Dewdrop Bunnies and bright Auto-Repair Androids to accomplish.

IMPORTANT: Take note that all items from the Celestial Egg are tradable and sellable. Although it's best if you do not buy a un-identified pet from Trading Realm as anyone can claimed whatever elemental affinity or how many fuse stats it has.

Treasure Sachet [ESO]

For Treasure Sachet quest (obtainable at Lv26), prior to at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before it starts, you can find this quest within your quest log (Q -> Available Quest -> Fun Quest). To acquire this quest, you will need to talk to the Travelling Monk (East Market), whereupon you will get this item called a Treasure Sachet in your bag. Although you can the quest and the satchet itself at least an hour before this event starts, you can only start right-clicking it for goodies on the dot per every 2 minutes. The quest itself can also be picked up even after it has started, but then, it'll be wiser to get it just slightly earlier in order to reap the benefits of it for 1 full hour instead of less than an hour, right?

Goodies from the Treasure Satchet includes:

• Fireworks x 3
• Possessor ① x 1
• Jadeon of Soul ① x 1
• Order of the Wind (Award) x 3
• A Pet's Esteem Ver 2.0 x 1
• Dragon Slayer Essence Debris x 1
• Dragon Apothegm II x 1
• Dragon Apothegm III x 1
• Ethrelic of Dragon Blood x 1
• Tales of the Well x 1
• Portal Tome (Award) x 1
• Stone of Peace x 1
• Lightbender Stone (Award) x 1
• Spirits (for leveling up skills)
• Event tokens ranging from 1 event tokens to 100 event tokens (EXP)

It's Pie [ESO]

For It's Pie quest (obtainable at Lv26), you will first need to talk to Ziola to accept this quest. Upon accepting this quest, there will be a countdown of 2 hours which you can simply keep track of on your Tracker List. As soon as 2 hours is up, there will be a list of NPCs to talk to in order to get the quest reward(s), namely:

• Engineer's Wife
• General Scruffins
• Scholar Loskit
• Guard Lon
• Mapkeeper Ming

Along the way in between talking to these listed NPCs, sometimes you will get a Taisung's Chest. This Taisung's Chest is a lotto-based prize, and you need to open up your bag and right click on it. Here's a list of the prizes in Taisung's Chest:

Prizes includes (in clock-wise direction):

• Ethrelic
• Condensed Ethrelic
• Raw Jade of Fog
• Etheral Charm·Kun
• Godly Ethrelic
• Double EXP Token (2 hour)
• Astral Ethrelic
• Etheral Charm·Tui
• Kenaturide Mount (not sure if it's 30-day or permanent)
• Ethrelic of Dragon Blood

Although sometimes if you're really unlucky, you'll receive some Event Tokens, or worse, fireworks:

But fret not, this quest can be taken once everyday. And also for players who have DS/TDS gears/weapon, take note! You can actually get a Dragon Apothegm I from this quest too, although rare. Therefore, it might be better to just wait out a little if you do not intend to spend too much ebucks on spamming lotto boxes just to get a Dragon Apo I.

Note: This quest only have a countdown timer for 2 hours. Once 2 hours is up, you have only 30 minutes to talk to the required NPCs in order to get the quest reward(s). If you missed the 30 minute mark and the timer runs out, you'll lose that quest and the reward(s) that comes with it for the day and can only re-take it at the next immediate server reset. So take note!

If for any reason the timer countdowns past 0 minutes, eg. -10 minutes, simply relog out of your account and log back in again, not realm hop. This method should solve the timer issue if you had previously glitch yourself prior to possing and after getting this quest.

Move Treasure [ESO]

For General Zurin's Move Treasure quest, you will first need to talk to General Zurin (Solar Temple) to accept the quest and then wait it out for 1 hour. After that 1 hour is up, you can simply check your quest log to see what are the reward(s) you will be getting. Most times, it's 25 Event Tokens. However, if you feel that you would prefer something else other then Event Tokens, for example, a ◎Stone of Peace or White Dragon, there is this quest from General Zurin that lets you reset the quest for another 1 hour. So far, the reward(s) for completing this quest are:

• 25 Event Tokens
• Frostlion Mount
• ◎ Stone of Peace
• White Dragon

Do be aware that the reward(s) for this quest is random. Therefore, good luck in getting a ◎ Stone of Peace or White Dragon =D

Note: This quest only have a countdown timer for 1 hour. Once an hour is up, you can choose to go back to General Zurin a little later to get your reward or reset it before server reset is up. No penalty if you missed talking to General Zurin.

If for any reason the timer countdowns past 0 minutes, eg. -10 minutes, simply relog out of your account and log back in again, not realm hop. This method should solve the timer issue if you had previously glitch yourself prior to botting and after getting this quest.

Threat of Pokari [ESO]

For Threat of Pokari, this involves talking to Ziola (The East Market) to accept the quest and then retrieving an item called Dangerous Items. After accepting the quest from Ziola, you will need to go to where Woodsman Roki (The West Market) is. Around him you will see various chests called Dangerous Items when you hover your mouse over it. As there are 5 such chests around Woodsman Roki, you will/might have to check and see which are the ones you can retrieve by hovering your mouse over them.

Once done, go back to Ziola (The East Market) to submit the quest. Sometimes, if you're lucky you might get this item called Anonymous Letter.

If you don't, do not fret though. As long as you have alt(s) that are Lv60 and above, those alt(s) are eligible to pick up the quest itself. Because, this Anonymous Letter can actually be traded between players or even mailed from your alt to your main. But how do you know if you have this letter? Simple! If you're lucky, the right side of your game client screen will let you know, or alternatively, you can check your bag since this Anonymous Letter will automatically go into your bag. At this stage, take note that if you talk to Ziola and accidentally click on the 4th part of Threat of Pokari, the Anonymous Letter quest will automatically be logged onto your alt(s) quest log. And you wouldn't want that to happen if you know you need the extra EXP to level up.

Pit of Champions Guide [ESO]

Well, this is only a short simple guide for those of you all who can actually level up really fast, like "Zoom! I'm Lv100 now" fast. In short, Pit of Champion can be a good way to get from Lv90 - Lv99/Lv100 if you have the time and dedication to do it even if you know you don't have enough Defense points to get hit for only 1 dmg. I did PoC on RaiLyn and she had only under 600 Defense and I managed to got her from Lv91 to Lv98. All in all, if you think you wanted to save your gold on making Defense/Poss gears to concentrate on working on Lv100 gears, perhaps this guide is for you too. Other than that, just enjoy~

Before you can even do Pit of Champions instance, there are some important criterias you need to be aware of. Some of them might not be compulsory, but ultimately it's up to the person doing this instance.

• Pit of Champion map obtainable once daily from Mapkeeper Ming, located at The Former Square in Pokari
• Enough HP and MP pots to survive one round of Pit run, or at least able to withstand hits from pit mobs
• Combatable Mount (Optional), but in the event you are being hit for a certain amount, the mount ensures you can run off and pot in time
• Double EXP Token - If you don't have one, get it via Facebook once only. Subsequent rounds of Pit runs will give you Double EXP tokens. However, I recommend not using the tokens until you are at least Lv105, instead accumulate Spirits and Valor being the utmost importance
• Pets that you need to level up

And prior to entering the instance, check via Dispatcher Chun to see if there's an empty instance slot available. Many times, I buffed up, activated my double EXP token and ended up finding out I had to realm hop and at the same time lose my buffs cos it's all full-house in Realm 3. (Not sure why somedays Realm 3 is so popular with Pit spamming =_=" )

As soon as you get teleported inside, you will spawn at a spot where the blue arrow is in the image above. Try not to stay at that spot because mobs take too long to reach the area where you spawn. This spot is the same place in which you re-spawn again if you either lag and get killed by Pit mobs or just simply got killed by Pit mobs due to low Defense. If you see where the red arrow is pointing, that is the place where you need to quickly run to before the very 1st batch of Pit mobs spawns. And this is why you need to check via Dispatcher Chun if there's a free instance slot for you and also at the same time to buff up before teleporting inside the instance if a free instance slot is available. You save time on the buffing up and can run to the designated spot before mobs spawn.

If you managed to run to the front of the platform just in time to see the very 1st batch of mobs spawn, here's what you should do next. (If you're a mystic with low Defense, you might want to use Incantation Glow at this point.) As soon as the mobs starts approaching the steps, you can either run towards the left or right to lure them all in one direction. And as soon as they start following you, you may proceed to spam your AoE skill on them. But note that these mobs won't stand there and wait to be killed, they will start to aggro and attack you. Therefore, remember to pot AND run around when necessarily. If you have ever tried to tank Master Crabbins inside River Temple 1 and 2, you should probably know what I'm talking about. But this time, instead of just one Master Crabbins, it's plenty of Master Crabbins disguised as 10 different mobs per round.

At this point, remember that bridge you need to run over before you get to the platform where those Pit mobs spawn? Summon your pet out on that small bridge, put it on Idle and change your pet(s) skill, if they have any, to Manual. Especially important if you are using Pit of Champions to level up certain pets to meld with, since pets like these tend not to be equipped with pet bells of any sort and neither is their HP/Def is high enough to withstand attacks from these spawning Pit mobs. As long as you hold aggro on Pit mobs that have spawned, your pet shouldn't be attacked at any point. And when Pit bosses shows up, you can press the shortcut key for Attack or enable Auto for any particular pet skill your pet can deal the most damage to help kill the Pit boss fast.

Some items that are worth picking up inside Pit of Champion instance includes:

• Time Dust Stone - For crafting ☆ Pet Chaplets
• Crystal of Earth Eternity - For crafting ☆ Pet Chaplets
• Crystal of Flame Rage - For crafting ☆ Pet Chaplets
• Shattered Void Stone - For crafting Void Stones
• Dragon Slayer Essence Debris - For exchanging for DS gears/weapon
• Ethrelic of Dragon Blood - For imbuing DS Gears/weapon
• △Destiny Jade Debris - For re-rolling of Lv90 Destiny gears/weapon if you're equipped with them
• □Destiny Jade Debris - For re-rolling Lv100 Destiny gears/weapon if you're equipped with or intend to use them
• Heavensack Stone - For embedding in signets if you need more HP
• Tiger Growl Stone - For embedding in signets if you need more Strength (Applicable for Hellion chars)
• Sacred · Stone of Termination - Gives Critcast Rate +1%
• Sacred · Stone of Abnormalty - Gives Resilience +1
• Sacred · Stone of Dignity - Gives Strength +50
• Sacred · Stone of Delicacy - Gives Accuracy +2
• Sacred · Stone of Fury -Gives Intellect +50

If not, you can collect these to sell if you do not need them. Another good way to earn a little extra gold on the side =D

Hope this little guide is of help to newer players who might not have the Defense gears necessarily to do a successful Pit run.

Taking full advantage of freebies in MMO

This 30-day Glister skyblade is obtainable from Lv45 Treasure Chest in Jade Dynasty.

There comes a time when you wish you were rich enough to splurge real money on MMO. It could be for various reasons that includes prepping your gears to be PvP-enabled with deadly crit figures, or it can just simply be as plain and straightforward as getting from Point A to Point B without having to encounter various aggro mobs on the way. Sometimes, there are certain freebies within a MMO game that gives you something to try for for as short as 24 hours to at least 1 month long.

And when you do, you will start getting excited and yet confused all at the same time. Excited because for a certain amount of period, certain quests that seemed to be unable to be completed can finally be done now. But confused because for a start, suddenly your mind just simply forgot what exactly are you going to do now that you have something that you've coveted from Day 1 of playing a MMO.

First of all, take a look at your quest log and see which quests needs you to, say for example, fly around. Especially so in the world of Jade Dynasty where NPCs are stationed above ground, just out of reach if you do not have flying/glide gears. Make a mental note which of these quests are of utter importance. In my experience in Jade Dynasty, it's definitely the Treasure Hunt quest, which is obtainable from an NPC called Sky Dweller who unfortunately for me, resides high up in the sky just inside a popular safezone town.

Unfortunately for me, I need a flying/glide gear of some sort in order to do this quest which can be done a total of 3 times per day, where the amount awarded for successfully completing this quest is dependable on your current level. But imagine with the use of a 30-day flying gear such as this Glister Skyblade, where in just under 1 week, I have managed to accumulate close to 120G out of sheer utter perseverance. It's not easy, but anything beats having to spend real money.

Although there are many other quests that involves reaching NPCs stationed high in the sky, most of them probably will want you to defeat the same type of boss or monster(s) a certain amount of times. It's important to find out and try to remember which ones are worth doing via a list. For example, the top of your list that the quest you really need to do are the ones that gives you in-game gold. Followed next would be either better gears or pet exp potions. And no doubt, different quest objectives with different quest rewards asks you to defeat certain types of boss or monster(s) from a minimum of 10 times to maybe 18 times or even more.

But luckily, in Jade Dynasty, there's an available in-game bot called an Esper which lets you "Vigorate" (a.k.a Bot), and this does comes in handy when I am trying to kill 10 Celestial Vanguards without having to stare at my screen throughout all 10 killings and button smashing my skills. Lucky me, I guess.

Cool part for me as of now? This game is actually offering players to redeem a Grade 18 pet daily via their Facebook Connect and this greatly aids in getting my favorite quest done in as short a time as possible. Phew! Imagine trying to kill the same monster 10 to 18 times with my regular Grade 3 pet, I will probably try to tear my hair out from the agony of it.

What about you? Any moments when you are glad of certain freebies in your favorite MMO that aids you in completing quests much more faster than you expected? Share them with me as I would like to know about it.

Hotel Transylvania Social Game [FB]

So for today, I'm going to talk about The Hotel Transylvania Social Game game/app on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HotelTGame) by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

As usual with most Facebook apps/games, quests are generally easy to find. But if you're new or still clueless, old and new quests for Facebook apps/games are always on the left side of the game itself. It's not that hard to locate and you do have to click on it to understand a little more of what exactly you need to do to fulfill a quest.

Basically, you start off the game with a Hotel Lobby and a small graveyard plot that consists of 1 available Zombie Bellhop. Dracula himself will guide you on your first steps in playing the game, and what you need to first do to get your Hotel Transylvania running is to first purchase a small bedroom and build it, and that my dearies will be your very first quest. Let's face it, without room(s), how on earth are you going to run a hotel with only a hotel lobby, right? But here's a little tip before you go any further: Don't use HYPNOSIS (that blue swirly thing) unless Dracula asks you to, as it's very easy to use them all up without realizing it.

And not forgetting bed(s). Once your very first hotel room is built, at least purchase a bed, just as Dracula guides and hints at you along the way. Would you want to sleep in a hotel room without the comfort of a bed, right on the floor? I won't, I knpw that. And none will your ghoul customers either in the game. Once the room is built, your first customer (a skeleton) will show up. And before buying the bed, you cannot check-in the customer. So remember, beds are of utmost importance!

Once everything is done, you may proceed to check in your skeleton guest. And the undead customers will keep on coming, so keep building at least a few more small bedrooms and buy beds if possible. And you also need a zombie bellhop to guide guests to their respective rooms. The very first zombie bellhop you can raise is a Slow Zombie, whereby Dracula will need you to use a HYPNOSIS to speed up the raising. Slow Zombie bellhops can only serve 10 undead customers before they go back to their graves, and the only way to make them last more than 10 undead customers is to feed them brains.

And this is where we proceed to go on to the next important aspect of the app/game itself, Crafting.

Crafting. What game doesn't let you prolong or advance a little better without the use of crafting? Over at The The Hotel Transylvania Social Game, you can craft up to 12 different items and they are namely:

• Brain - To feed Zombie Bellhops so they last longer
• Dracula Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Frankenstein Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Gremlin Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Happy Potion - To make undead guests happy when they'v waited too long to check out
• Hypnosis - To speed things up
• Steve Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Mummy Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Quasimodo Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Wayne Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)
• Yeti Costume - For visiting/renting a room at your neighbor(s)

And luckily, each crafted item needs different items to be crafted. So you need not worry about the same items being used in 2 or 3 different crafts. Once you have the necessary items from checking your undead customers out of their activities, just go straight ahead and craft the Brains, Happy Potions and Hypnosis.

Another tip to take note of: Do not craft costumes until any quest(s) asks you to. Waste not is the real reason. You may possibly get extra EXP from a quest via Drcula only available crafted when Dracula wants it, so beware of early-crafting.

However, certain items needed to craft unique items such as HYPNOSIS for example, may take ages to collect, so use the ones you have with caution too. It seems tempting to speed up lots of buildings/constructions just for the sake of finishing an old quest fast in order to get new ones and level up. But don't be tempted!

And for the record, undead guests that are waiting to be checked in does not need to be fed Happy Potions, these potions are only used on guests that have been waiting too long to be checked for, example, you go to bed and wake up 8 hours later to find out a skeleton has been waiting to be checked out since 6 hours ago.

Crafting a Dracula costume when there's a quest for it rewards you with:

• 150 coins
• 20 EXP
• Brown Bat Table (For decorating your hotel room)
• Moon (For crafting Wayne Costume)

This now brings us back to the topic, which happens to be my favorite, Zombie Bellhops!

As mentioned, the very first Zombie Bellhops you can raise are Slow Zombie which costs nothing at all. The only downside is that a Slow Zombie can only serve 10 undead guests before it goes back to the grave for good. Hence, that is why you don't need to speed up much stuffs. Save up the HYPNOSIS and BRAINS for when your Hotel is at a higher level, has more rooms and need more Zombie Bellhops to maintain.

Average Zombies need 1 minute to be raised but costs 150 coins while Slow Zombie is free but needs 1 hour to be raised, so you may want to use the free ones instead to save up your money for a rainy day, especially if you hotel has a few rooms or you are still at a lower level.

And here's a list of available codes up for redemption through the app/game itself for room decorations:

• GRIFFIN
• YOUTH
• OPENSEASONMOVIE
• FRANK
• EUNICE
• DRACULA
• Wolves
• Johnny
• SMURFS MOVIE
• SMURFS2

VERDICT: TO be honest, I've tried other "goth" related Facebook app/games from as early as when I initially had a Facebook account. The game itself was rather simplistic to the point of being boring to play with and I dread each day as friends sent me requests for it. But looking back at those vampire games, maybe I should be glad that they existed in the early days of Facebook.

As right now, Sony Interactive has launched a new social game on Facebook called The Hotel Transylvania Social Game. And Sony Pictures is definitely setting the buzz going by introducing a game version of it's animated movie.

The game, just like the movie, is set in Count Dracula’s lavish, five star resort. A place where monsters (a.k.a undead guests) can live the good life away from the prying eyes of those pesky humans, namely you and me. The game play is actually interesting and definitely not what I expected. But it can be a little complex here and there, such as adding rooms for guests, furnishing hotel rooms to increase happiness, and grow your zombie bell boy legion to use them as Bellhops. Let's face it, you can't expect hotel guests to check themselves in and out and carry their luggage all over the place huh?

Like any good social game that are a plenty too many on Facebook, you can check back daily to collect rewards, share gifts with friends/neighbors by sending them gifts, although there's only 3 type of gifts available to choose from. And not forgetting, entertaining your hotel guests via usage of certain hotel facilities to accumulate EXP and points. Of course, as with most social media games, if you want to get ahead in the virtual world, you can do so via the in-app shop.

The last time I played something similar was called Hotel City although this game is defunct. So, I'm rather glad something similar such as The Hotel Transylvania Social Game coming along and filling up the void, despite it's apparent flaws. And now that we're already in the wonderful month of October, I do sincerely hope that certain noticeable flaws are fixed before the arrival of Halloween itself. Or it'll be a shame to be playing a flawed Facebook game during the spooky wonderful days leading up to Halloween.

The Hotel Transylvania Social Game game/app on Facebook is free to play for everyone who has a Facebook account. Go over to https://www.facebook.com/HotelTGame for more info.
