Mind Pearl Needed for the Green Crown

I'm starting a collection of crowns. Not all of them are actually called crowns in Adventure Quest. But, they look like crowns. Only the crowns I like, not every helm or helmet, etc. I have been playing Barrow Drop endlessly, trying to get a second mind pearl. I mistakenly thought having an extra one from the quest would give me two for buying the green crown/ Vorah crest. But, that did not work as I expected.

Since then I have long ago lost count of how many times I have done the Barrow Drop. No mind pearls since abandoning that quest (second time, after completing it the first time). Is it a glitch? Bad luck? No luck? Bad karma for abandoning the quest? I keep trying.

A Golden Plate Helmet from a Rare Chest

Getting this helmet was not easy. I'm really not good at anything like parkour, jumping around from one bit of rock to another. But, I noticed this chest up on a platform in a Greenguard dungeon and I stuck to my resolve to get it. Luckily, I had gone in as a private dungeon or someone else would have had it. Very few players would have been patient and kind enough to wait as long as it took me to finally get up there and get the chest. The helmet is nice, fairly pretty. But this was far more about the journey than the end result. For me.

Mysterious Book in the DeadTooth Dungeon, GreenGuard

I know I went through all the new parts of the map in GreenGuard. I don't remember this book and I don't know if there is something I need to open it. Another dungeon, in a dungeon?

Update: It's not anything. But, probably will become something for a future dungeon, or something. 

A Little Shopping in GreenGuard Today

I thought I would find something colourful to wear. As much as I like red, I'm getting a bit tired of all the red and black from Ashfall. Why not start at GreenGuard when looking for some local colour. Nice to see the Guardian Towers in the background, just through the gates.
