Battledoming by Yuka

Despite what its detractors say, Battledoming, also known as BDing is not only a game of button mashing. It is a well-designed strategy game, where you have to evaluate every possible move your opponent might do. Faerie abilities and strength and defense boosts are important, but the weapons you will use are important as well.

Of course, some of these weapons, like the mystic Sword of Skardsen, the almighty Portable Kiln or the famous Ghostkershield are the kind of weapons youd like to use against your little brother when he bugs you too much. But, what about using a sharp carrot to stab, an eggplant to whack or artichokes to use as bombs? Youd think twice, would you?

How to Heal Your Pet Easily by gazgamer6462

This is one of the most useful solution for people like me who practically live in the battledome and aren’t lucky enough to have their pets fully healed at the healing springs every time.

Strangely enough this tip is so obvious I’m surprised no one ever noticed it before. It’s simple, fast, and has no strings attached.

1. First your pet must have the ability ‘Magic Berries’. You can get this useful move by giving your pet enough Earth Faeries. (It must be over level 6 or the faerie will just fly away.)

2. Now bring your pet to the healing springs. Even if the water faerie only raises your pets health a little bit this will still work.

Battledome Strategy 101 – Lesson 3 by Jadeasahi

Lesson 3: Trading Punches

Unless the results of the First Turn Freeze and the After The First Turn Freeze is the death of one of the opponents, battledomers are going to have to trade punches. There are varied schools of thought on the best way to go about this, but these variants generally reduce down to one of two basic approaches to the Battledome.

The first of these is a high damage fast attack capability (which I call the West Coast Offense after an American football strategy). This approach utilizes high damage reusable fast attack weapons, the purpose being to inflict as high an amount of damage as possible, but sacrificing the ability to defend. Weapons commonly used in this approach include the Lost Desert Dagger, Plastic Halloween Fork, Battle Ducks, Zaptwig, Mono Claw, Mystical Fish Lobber, and Faerie Slingshot. There are many other weapons that fit into this style of fighting. Combatants in this fighting style will generally rely heavily on Fierce and Berserk Attack, Heal, and Drain Life.

Neopets: Untold Journey by BloodBowler

Hi, my name is BloodBowler. Well, that is my neopets account name anyway. I’m here to tell you my experiences playing this game.

It was a long time ago when I first started playing Neopets although I remember little bits of it well. A friend of mine had recommended the site to me and I decided to give it a try. Well my first impression was good, it was a vast world waiting to be explored. Thus, I created Murphy2k2 (A blue Lupe) and set out to explore it.

I got to grips with all the basics within a few weeks, I was spending about 5 minutes a day on Neopets. I was still at school and had just enough time at my lunch break to log on to one of the computers, feed, groom and play with my pet.

With topics on discussion such as whether people actually notice what is on the Neopets Notice Board, whether or not the battledome is essentially to Neopets or biased towards certain Neopians, unreleased items that are M.I.A. (missing in action), Neopets’ competitors, and whether or not Neopets is racist, tune in for an exciting episode of The PPT Show.
