The Neopets Battledome has been the home to L33T battlers for years. From well known names such as HROBI and HYNFAERIE, people have made their mark on Neopian history through the battledome. Also a place where Neopets plots are centered around, the Neopets Battledome allows your cute Neopets to wield weapons and attack in aggression while looking super cute and cuddly.
The beginning
Neopets weaponry and armor were rampant in Neopets before the Battledome made an appearance. In actual fact, the Battledome was something that was promised on Neopets for quite some time and it took a number of years (shall we say) before it was finally released to the public.
Before the release
Before the release, all Neopian weaponry and armor were dirt cheap. Hypno Helmets, 2,000 yes please! The ultimate was a Rainbow Frost Cannon and cost around the 100,000 neopoints mark (which was a heck of a lot back then).
After the release
Everything rose in prices… a lot. The advent of the Battledome saw the coming of a new age, one where items were highly coveted. It also saw the introduction of plot lines and unfortunately, a whole new wave of scamming attempts.
The new strategy
After careful development, the game now incorporates an element of strategy and thought. What weapons will best be used? Are defense items factored? How should I battle this opponent? Interestingly, the speed and intelligence statistics on your neopet didn’t affect the game play at all, in any way. Ahhh the sweetness of such stats eh?
