Popular Post hrtbrk Posted February 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2013 Melida wanted to get ready for the upcoming plot. She needed help deciding on weapons and training, but she didn't know much about the Battledome, so she visited the Battlepedia and learned all she needed to! Melida is a blue Scorchio with the following stats: Level: 20 HP: 47 Strength: 50 Defense: 49 Movement: 25 To start, Melida realized she didn't really know how weapon icons translated into damage, so she checked out the Introduction to the Battledome, where she learned how damage and defense work. There, she learned that icons were multiplied by boosts, but she didn't know much about boosts, so she looked at the Strength & Defense Boosts guide.Looking at that guide, Melida learned that she was very close to a new strength boost, but she didn't know the best way to get there! So, she went to the Battlepedia's Fast Training Guide. Melida learned that she couldn't train until she increased her level to be at least half of her HP, so she wondered if there might be another way to train. She found the Other Methods of Training and Item Training guides."Wow," Melida said to herself, "those are some expensive items! Item training might make sense for my friend Gorman, who keeps getting zapped by the lab ray and is nowhere near being able to train. But it would only cost me a few thousand NP to increase my level by training, so that's what I'll do! Once I do, I'll start training my strength and defense to get to the 55 boost. Plus, I'll keep working on Kitchen Quests and visiting Coltzans Shrine, and I'll probably be at a new boost in no time."Once she had a plan for training, Melida started wondering about weapons. She found two weapons in her SDB, but she didn't know what they did or how good they were, so she searched for them in the Battlepedia. To start, she looked up the Basic Rubber Axe. "Oh," she exclaimed, "3 icons! Is that a lot?" She looked again at the page and saw that someone had reviewed the weapon, and the average rating was 1/10. She realized, "That must not be very good. I hope my other weapons are better!"Melida looked up the other weapon she found, a Snowager Sword. "Oh boy!" she said excitedly. "That has a rating of 7/10! That might be good!" But Melida wasn't sure, and she didn't know what other weapons she should get. She spotted the Battlepedia's Basic Weapon Sets Guide. "Ooh, the Snowager Sword is a recommended weapon. I can probably stick with that," Melida decided. She still wasn't quite sure what to do about other weapons. "I don't have a lot of NP right now," Melida mused. "I guess I'd better stick with the Beginner weapons for now. But I'm definitely going to start saving for the weapons in the Intermediate set. As I get more NP, I can upgrade my weapons to the ones in the next highest set! In fact, I could probably afford some of the cheaper ones now - or at least after the deflation after the plot!"Armed with the knowledge that the Battlepedia could answer all of her Battledome-related questions, Melida felt confident that she could handle any battle plot that TNT threw at her!

Dragons Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Good guide for the people that are beginning to buy weapons or whatsoever :D So many topics asking for help for battledome sets >_> First I thought that the plot already started but then I realized it's a guide :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plotinus_theos Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks a lot! This is a great summary of information, and presented in a very logical order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Awesome beginner's guide! :D The guide should be very useful to anyone who desires a better understanding of the BD. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The basic weapon sets guide badly needs to be updated, especially the items listed for beginner battlers. Some of the prices have been way off for some time now as well. Ridiculous Heavy Battle Hammer is now frequently recommended to newbies, as is Pirate Cutlass. Atm it isn't a page I'd recommend for new battlers, I'd suggest asking on the BD boards instead if you're new to BD and need weapon advice.

Lamppost Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The basic weapon sets guide badly needs to be updated, especially the items listed for beginner battlers.

Atm it isn't a page I'd recommend for new battlers, I'd suggest asking on the BD boards instead if you're new to BD and need weapon advice. We try to keep the prices updated as much as possible, but when they are frequently changing (like for a plot), it's difficult for us to keep up. If you have specific suggestions for changes in the weapons, you're welcome to make a suggestion at the Contact Us page. Battlepedia staff will review your suggestion and get back to you. We would love to hear your suggestions and improve our guides! On the page, the weapons are arranged by power, not necessarily by to whom they are recommended. You can easily mix and match weapons on the site; just because you're a beginner doesn't mean you couldn't have a weapon from the intermediate or even advanced sets. Some battlers use anagram swords with Leaf Shield, for example. Part of the reason we have the guide is so we're not constantly telling different people the same suggestions. A lot of the suggestions in the BD forums on here match the guide. That's why we recommend it. Rebecca~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSummer Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 i read this over and over yet I still don't really understand battledore, I just use my best weapons and hope for the best haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Lol. I do the same. I have two good 13 iconers and never use anything else. My stats are high enough that I'm not overly worried about not matching my weapons to my opponents properly. I kind of just go in there and flail my awesome sword around xD Spritzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Technology Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I absolutely adore this :) Hopefully people would find this helpful! Never fret Neopians, people in these forums are more than willing to help you with your questions and concerns (such as myself :D) !!! :D Spritzie and hrtbrk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
