Weapon Advice & Recommendations

[abbadonelysium]

Thanks for the advice. I've started training as you said I have 20+ codestones and 50 Dubloons to work with kinda been hording for a while. The weapons sound good..

Anyway thanks again. I just hate being a newbie things still confuse me...

[ryan.riverside]

I have a question, just out of curiosity: Is the SBP worth the incredibly long (almost infinite) wait and saving up? Have any of you ever bought/used one, and if so, how was it?

[neobeth]

Right folks I need help and anythng you could help me with will be greatly appreciated.

First up how do you increase your HP's????
I have uped my level to 21 and nothing seams to happen with my hitpoints..

Secondly I have 300,000nps to spend on weapons what would be the best combination I have a:

Xweetok

Species : Xweetok
Agility : 18 (mach 2)
Attack Strength : 26 (GREAT (26))
Defence Strength : 17 (semi-demi-godly)
Current hp: 11 / 11
Level : 21

BattleDome Scores

Won : 7
Lost : 15
Drawn : 7
Score : 427
Withdraws Made : 0
Withdraws Received : 0

-Equiped -
Stink Bomb

Jade Staff

What should I spend my money on to beat the Ghost Lupe and Eyrieki please help me I'm struggling and have bought and sold countless weapons in my attempt to find the best..

Cheers

I would suggest playing deadly dice and try to lose1 level point, training will cost you a lot less.

Ok I need help with my very very outdated set. Maybe outdated isn't the word, because it was never very good to begin with. I just went wandering blindly through IDB looking for lots of icons for cheap.

I *only* fight 1Player fights, so keep that in mind if you help me. Specifically the upcoming war.

Stats:
HP: 176 (might go up a few)
STR: 125 boost by the time the war starts
DEF: 85 boost

Equipment:
Lost Desert Dagger
Leaf Shield
Mud Mixture
Fire Snow
Brain Tree Mace x2 (WHY DID THESE DROP FROM 300k TO 50k?! That's 500k gone)
Scarab Ring x2

Budget: 200-300k, plus whatever I can sell the above items for.

Thanks to anyone who helps me

Edit: Neoboards pointed me in the direction of Downsize,Greater Healing Scroll, and Tyrannian Lupe Tooth; the last two of which I found for pretty cheap. They also suggested Stone Club x2 and Illusens Earth Potion, but I'm not sure about those. IEP = bomb apparently, does it go away after one use?

New set so far, but still remodeling:
Lost Desert Dagger
Leaf Shield
Downsize!
Greater Healing Scroll
Tyrannian Lupe Tooth
Brain Tree Mace x2
Scarab Ring

VVVVVV Yes I saw that, but I was thinking maybe since I only play 1Player, the weapons that are "good" may differ

I was thinking of later replacing the RotL and Leaf Shield with a G-Shield and G-Sword or SoS, any suggestions of upgrades inbetween? and what would be the next bomb upgrade after Honey that is less than G-Bomb?

Will appreciate any help

Species : Aisha
Level : 86
Health : 313 / 313
Strength : ULTIMATE (154)
Defence : AMAZING (86)
Move : LEGENDARY (132)
Intelligence : ULTIMATE GENIUS (149)

She has all the abilities that matter.

Current set (some great weaps, some not so great):
Hand Painted Scarab
Talinias Whittling Knife
Illusens Earth Potion
Downsize!
Fire Snow
Ring of the Lost
H4000 Helmet
Greater Healing Scroll/Red Scorchstone

I mainly just do 1-player battles (wars/plots/DoN). I don't mind going for Honey Potion type weapons, but I'm not ready to go for a SoS or a Jade SS. I know my set needs to be updated, I'm just not sure with what. Any ideas?

Oh I'm also working on evening out her stats. She was my lab rat for ages, which explains the lop sided stats

[Jedi]

Hi i am looking to upgrade my set

Scuzzys comb
Ramptors Spellbook
Green Frost Cannon
Patched Magic Hat
Honey Potion
Greater Scroll of Healing
Radioactive muffin

i now have 600k to add on to this set to make it better. I am thinking mayber the shield or the frost cannon (going to save for the helmet).

or is it worth upgrading the two main attackers.

I know i have not put my stats down as i am training and i know where to go with that

[eilu]

Looking to complete my set and start working on the DoN trophy (and hopefully participate in the war, if there's one coming).

Stats:
Species : Kougra
Level : 18
Health: 30/30
Strength : GREAT (32)
Defence : GREAT (32)
Move : GREAT (22)
*currently training; will be getting 35 str/def and 50hp before I stop to save up again*

Set:
Bone Sceptre
Obsidian Dagger
Golden Geraptiku Talisman
Obsidian Ring
Leaf Shield

I'm thinking of getting Lost desert Dagger OR Scarab Stone Slingshot (can't decide), so advice is welcome. If anyone can suggest something better, that's also welcome.

Budget: As long as each individual weapon isn't over 10k then I can squeeze it in. The 11-20k range is a long shot, but also possible.

Abilities:
Have: Heal, Fiery Gaze, Tough Skin
Saving for: Burrow, Sink, Drain Life, Regenerate, Restore, Healing Vapour
*comments/suggestions also welcome*

Note: I am going for 1 player fights only (DoN and wars)

Thanks!

I haven't been here in ages! I don't think I can catch up on everyone, so if you still want advice from me (and other people), register and post a thread on the weapon advice & comparisons board at the IDB Forums. Make sure you include the same stuff I ask for here -- pet species and stats, current weapons and abilities, and budget, as well as whether or not you lab and whether you do 1-player or 2-player.

If you don't want to register elsewhere, I hope my first couple posts in this thread can help. I have kept them up-to-date, so check out those weapons and find some that are strong enough for your tastes and the right price for your budget. Also, if you're looking for training advice, this is the strategy I like to use:

For maximum efficiency, you should train HP to more than 2x your level, then bring level back up to at least half your HP before continuing with other stats. I ignore movement because it gets very expensive and time-consuming to train it, but that's up to you. So it'd be like this:

Level to 20 (one codestone)
Strength and Defence to 40
Hit Points to 60
Level to 40 (two codestones)
Str and Def to 80
HP to 120
Level to 80 (three codestones)
Str and Def to 160
HP to 200 (be careful here -- note that the next pay level starts 20 levels later, not 40 like before, so you can't train the max 3x)
Level to 100 (four codestones)
Str and Def to 200
HP to 240
Level to 120 (five codestones)
Str and Def to 240
HP to 300
Level to 150 (six codestones)
etc. I'm sure you can figure it out from here.

See, that way you are getting more hit points while still paying the lower codestone price. If you simply train hit points to 2x your level like everything else, you're going to end up paying more than you need to.

NOTE: You may not want to go exactly to level 20, str/def 40, etc., because you want to be wary of super bonuses. If you're training that last hit point and a super bonus gives you 121 instead of 120, it throws everything off. So perhaps leave one or two stats untrained (go to level 19, str/def 38, HP 57) in case of a bonus, or a faerie quest or a kitchen quest or random event.

If you train a pet for hit points, can those hit points be taken away by going to the Healing Springs?

No not at all

[aarickman]

Ok, thank you!

I wasn't sure because if you go to the springs she sometimes says "Your pet is healed back to max hit points"
I wasn't sure if she would reset the hit points back to 12/12 or whatever it is.

Thank you so much, I've never trained for hit points because I was afraid they would be taken away.

Thank's again!
