Woohooium, Secret Weapon? And Flourite.

[Mrs.Laphalot]

I was coming to see if anyone had found any news about the woohooium but I'm guessing it's still being tested.    I have found 2 in the consignment store this sim week and I just sent them to be smelted. They look cool if nothing else.

Just did a google search and still nothing on spawn points for this metal, nor for the new flourite.  Maybe EA will add some spawn points in a patch.

I did find a post where somebody got woohooium at the relic store while in France.  So, I'm going to start checking relic stores while on any vacations.

Also, I found this transfiguration recipe for woohooium in the google search, but have not confirmed it.  They claim it is the most reliable recipe for creating woohooium:

Top row: Platinum with Mercury vial stacked on it, Mercury, Palladium, Silver

Bottom row: Platinum, Mercury, Iridium, Silver

Neither metal nor gem can be found in the wild.  The only ways to get them are to mine, sculpt, buy at consignment store or buy at one of the relic stores in Chine, France and Egypt.  Maybe they will put them out to spawn at some point, but I don't see them doing so anytime soon.  Just my personal opinion.

One of my sims found an already smelted ingot of Woohooium in the mausoleum.  So it seems to be set as a random treasure.

I'm almost certain I found Flourite in the wild.  But just shoot me because I can't remember where.  I've just come off the Crazy Eight's Collector's Challenge and all of my gem collecting is a blur.  You can definitely get Flourite from breaking space rock blocks, but I really think I found one in the wild, too.

I changed the title of this thread so we can talk about both of the new collectibles in Ambitions.

Rummaging through garbage cans is one additional option to these.

Too right, sorry that I forgot about that

I thought I'd found flourite in the wild too, beind the railway car in Twinbooke - sort of near the science building *I think* - it was quite some time ago and I don't generally look for gems in the wild, it's not very efficient but I think I was out there getting palladium and checking for pink diamonds.

[WickedSimmer87]

Well correct me if I didn't see anyone mention it, but I got like all my pink diamonds from using the miner right outside in my backyard. Don't recall getting fluorite same way, though.

Confirmed!  Using all small ingots and mercury vials, I got a small iridium ingot and a small woohooium ingot.  Using all large ingots, I got the following small ingots:  iron, iridium, woohooium, and mummitomium.

[Asleep]

What's an "Ingot"?

[Calgary_Rose]

That's the rectangular piece of metal you get back when you send most ores off for smelting.  And before you ask, "ore" is the lump of metal you find on a rock and gem hunt.

[Dariu]

Oh no wonder
I thought someone hacked to my account to change the thread

[AriaGirl77]

I get flourite all the time via breaking space rocks.  Never a woohooium though.   I still have yet to find one of those, I think I just don't mine enough or something.

[Slingsby]

My sculptor in now level 9, and seems to regularly get woohooium and fluorite as 'impurities' when sculpting in stone.

No idea what use they are, though!!
