THE COMPLETE AICC TADPOLE GUIDE |
TADPOLE CATCHING IS A SMALL INDUSTRY, AS TADPOLES SERVE A VERY MINOR PURPOSE. YET, TADPOLES CAN BE THE KEY TO UNLOCKING SOME OF OSOS BAY'S GREATEST SECRETS. HERE WE'LL TELL YOU HOW TO GET STARTED IN THE TADPOLE INDUSTRY, AND EVEN SUCCEED! |
|
CHAPTER 1 - HOW TO CATCH TADPOLES |
| GETTING YOUR JARS : TADPOLE CATCHING REQUIRES ONE SIMPLE TOOL: A JAR. YOU WILL NEED TO BUY ATLEAST ONE EMPTY JAR FROM TALIA'S TOADS. EACH JAR CAN HOLD 5 TADPOLES. NOW, I KNOW YOU MIGHT THINK A JAR SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD MORE. WELL, TADPOLES NEED SPACE. TADPOLES ARE CANABALISTIC, JUST SO YOU KNOW. |
| ***IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO BUY A FEW JARS, BECAUSE THESE JARS CAN BE USED FOR OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN JUST CATCHING TADPOLES. |
| FIND A POND : NOW, TADPOLES CAN BE FOUND A SELECT TADPOLE PONDS. THE EASIEST TO GET TO IS ONE LOCATED UP VESPA CREEK. AFTER A SHORT HOP-SKIP-AND A JUMP UP THE CREEK. YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF AT THE TADPOLE POND. |
| CATCHING TADPOLES : CATCHING TADPOLES IS A BIT TOUGH. THEY ARE FAIRLY SMART FOR BEING INFANTS, AND WILL SWIM AWAY AT THE SIGHT OF ANY HUMAN MOVEMENT. KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THEM, THEN GO IN FOR A QUICK SWIPE. CLICK TO GRAB, AND HOLD DOWN AND DRAG A CAUGHT TADPOLE OVER YOUR JAR AT THE BOTTOM LEFT. TADPOLES MOSTLY COME OUT AT NIGHT, SO IF YOU VISIT THE TADPOLE POND LATE AT NIGHT, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY SEE A LOT MORE TADPOLES. |
|
CHAPTER 2 - SELLING TADPOLES |
| SELLING TADPOLES ONLY REQUIRES THREE THINGS: (1) TADPOLES (2) KNOWLEDGE OF WHO SELLS THEM (3) ENOUGH RESPECT TO GET THEM TO BUY TADPOLES FROM YOU. WE CAN ONLY HELP YOU WITH ONE OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS. |
| TALIA TOADSONG : TALIA BUYS TADPOLES AND TAKES CARE OF THEM SO THAT THEY WILL GROW UP TO BE MIGHTY FROGS. SHE THEN RELEASES THEM INTO THE WILD. STOP BY HER SHOP ON QUINTANA STREET. IF YOU SELL YOUR TADPOLES TO ANYONE ELSE OTHER THAN HER, SHE WILL GET ANGRY. |
|
| DR. KOCKPOCALIPSE : IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT DR. KOCKPOCALIPSE BUYS TADPOLES. WITH ALL THOSE EXPERIMENTS GOING ON WITHIN CORPORATION H, YOU CAN BET HE HAS A PLACE FOR THESE LITTLE GUYS. HERE'S TO HOPING THAT HE WILL LET YOU INTO HIS BUILDING. |
|
| FINN MCAWESOME : FINN IS A FAN OF ANIMALS. NO ONE IS SURE WHAT HE ACTUALLY DOES WITH THE TADPOLES, BUT HE'LL GIVE YOU A FEW BUCKS FOR THEM. |
|
| BONES SCRIMSHAW : THE POTIONS MASTER OF DRAGONPORT USES THESE LITTLE GUYS IN HIS MIXTURES. HE'LL PAY HANSOMELY FOR THEM, BUT YOU BETTER BE ON YOUR BEST PIRATE BEHAVIOR TO WIN HIM OVER. |
|
|
CHAPTER 3 - IMPORTANT TADPOLE LOCATIONS |
| HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT LOCATIONS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BIG IN THE TADPOLE INDUSTRY. GET TO KNOW THESE PLACES WELL. |
| TALIA'S TOADS : PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PLACE IN THE TADPOLE INDUSTRY. YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BUY EQUIPMENT AND SELL TADPOLES TO TALIA MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE INDUSTRY. DOES SHE HAVE THE BEST DEALS? PROBABLY NOT. |
|
| VESPA CREEK'S POND : IT'S NOT A FAR HIKE TO GET TADPOLES IN OSOS BAY. HEAD OFF LOST ROAD, AND UP THE CREEK TO THIS SMALL POND. |
|
| INFERNOUS TRAIL'S POND : IT IS SHOCKING HOW A POND CAN SURVIVE SO CLOSE TO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO. IF YOU CAN FIND THIS POND, YOU'LL FIND SOME TADPOLES TO SELL TO THE PEOPLE OF DRAGONPORT. |

CHAPTER 4 - TADPOLE CATCHING TIPS |
| HERE ARE A FEW TIPS ABOUT TADPOLE CATCHING THAT SHOULD HELP YOU MAKE LOTS OF CASH. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU THINK SHOULD BE ADDED HERE, LET US KNOW. |
(1) : SET OUT TO CATCH TADPOLES: EQUIP ALL YOUR EMPTY JARS, AND HEAD OUT. IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME, AND THE MORE YOU CAN CATCH IN ONE TRIP, THE QUICKER YOU CAN MAKE MONEY. |
| (2) : HEAD OUT AT NIGHT: MORE TADPOLES CAN BE FOUND AFTER DARK. |
| (3) : SEARCH FOR NEW BUYERS: SELLING TO TALIA MAY BE THE BEST THING FOR TADPOLES, BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY CARE? IF YOU ARE OUT FOR CASH AND NOT THE WELL BEING OF THE TADPOLES, THERE MIGHT BE BETTER PEOPLE TO SELL TO. YOU ARE A JERK FOR DOING THIS, BY THE WAY... |
