Steampunk Items

@Aquamentis12 Double All-Star near killed me that year. I knew I wasn't going to manage it this year as I have a new job that is rather more involved and would be obvious that I ummm... was doing absolutely nothing all day. The year before I got away with it because I was a data monkey who had trained my site staff well over the years before. I essentially got away with doing a morning of frantic work to bring my weekly numbers up, produced the reports, preened slightly and did nothing until same time next week. That just wouldn't work with this role! But I was hoping for All-Star. Which ummm... didn't happen. I was on track until about end of week 2 when I just lost all mojo and couldn't be bothered! I do love me some cute petpets. I've spent a decent chunk on them over the last couple of years; Darigan Candychan is by far the most elusive. But matching petpets became a great joy and a way to waste neopoints! So my Woodland Ruki has a Woodland Rock, Mara Lutari and Kiko have a Mara Snowbunny and Bubbles respectively, Toy Vandy has a Royal Turmac because the colour match and goofy look was too good to pass up, my Royal/Halloween Lupe has a Bat Boy and my Hallo/Transparent Hissi named Voldermorts has a Grey Weewo named Hedwig! I have a couple left to go on my main - tdub currently has a Feepit that I'm trying to feed to Turmy (a pity as it's my oldest petpet, but doesn't match his paint job at all - I have a Spring Talpidat for him after to make up for the loss of his friend), and my Hallo Grundo has a Snicklebeast which I put on for the avatar but never removed. I do have a Halloween Rock in my SDB though... there's a plan! Oh wow, some people really have gone all out on training, haven't they. I'm more of a jack of all trades - master of precisely zero. I got interested in trophies for a while and started caning Flash games. Same with avatars until Flash went bump. Hence the flitting with the Edna quests that I got bored of! I've been on off training tdub for... years and years and because I have the attention span of a constipated gnat, it's slow going! I got the Jhudora trophy/avatar but got bored and never got around to doing Illusen. Same story with NQ - I have silver at NQI and bronze at NQII. I've been 'working on' my NQII playthrough for... over two years! I get completely obsessed by events - I have over 60,000 junk items awaiting the next Charity Corner for my sins! But yeah, if you have thousands of HP and maxed strength/defence, it doesn't really matter what your weapon set is I guess. Although by that point, one would assume those with 14,000HP also have a nifty weapon set to go with it! I didn't know Cotzan could increase level so much!! I'll have to be cautious if I get closer to 300. I do not want to be making that mistake twice and it would be an expensive mistake to make now! I just got two levels from the Light Faerie putting me at 270. So still a ways to go, but I'm slightly paranoid now! Despite owning a PS2, I never actually played that game! It's a pity they haven't ported it to PS4. I'm still sore that they only ported The Legend of Dragoon (PS1) to American PS Vitas. Makes me very cross as that was my all time favourite game. For a while I even considered buying a second Vita, setting it to US and having it JUST for that one game. I decided this ummm... probably wasn't a good investment though! And thanks - as both are relatively cheap, I'll pick them up to stick in my SDB just in case!

Four nerks - Copper, Aluminium, Ultra Golden and Average Two tan codestones - Mau and Tai-Kai One red codestone - Vux And a neocola token - Blue Certainly can't complain!

hahaha, how strange looking. Reminds me of a cross between a deep sea diver, mutant and a robot. I don't dislike it just think it looks strange.

@Secre LOL I BET! but wow, it's great you managed to find the time to play that much that year! A shame you couldn't this year, and that you lost your mojo on playing. That happens to me too. I try to play, but it gets so... tedious. I wish our goals could translate into prize points too. Reward more than just wins, but putting effort into the game of YYB too! Some people might get a couple goals and then just wait for time to run out. I always play to do my best. The only low-score games I have are those involving multiple darigan yooyus. LOL I hear ya. Some of the petpet art is pretty neat! If you don't mind me asking, why are you trying to get your Feepit eaten by turmy? For the avatar and to get him as a challenger in the BD? Or you just want to replace the Feepit? I had a Feepit once, attached to my peophin. But, Turmy did eat him and I was SOOOOOOOO angry. I didn't know Turmy could do that at the time. And I had had my Feepit attached to my peophin since it was released via the Advent Calendar a couple years before. But, I did get the avatar and Turmy as a challenger in the BD. It took a little work to do it, but I beat Turmy in the old BD and avenged my poor Feepit, no name. LOL Yeah! People often find a focus and stick with it, at least for awhile. I used to play more of the flash games, avatars and such too. But then Flash died and I haven't really done much gaming since. Considering what people can make in NP from Restocking, I wish we could earn more NP from gaming, 3,000 a day max per game is pretty paltry by comparison. lol Like you, I'm more a Jack of All Trades and master of Zero. lol Battling is just something I have a bit more of a knack for compared to other things in Neopets. Ah, I don't think I went after Edna's avatar yet... I have trophies for both Jhudora and Illusen, but I've never completed ALL of their quests, so no Illusen's Staff or Wand of the Dark Faerie for me. I THINK I have Bronze for NQ1, I went for Gold in NQ2, but got the worst stat-wise weapon for my troubles. The Staff of Righteous Fury. Good name, horrible stats. I was hoping for the wand or the bow, cooler art and stats. I've done a NUMBER of NQ2 playthroughs, mostly on Evil difficulty, I loved that game and almost had every map virtually memorized. lol I have ideas for an NQ3 game, but I DOUBT TNT would let me make suggestions or design maps or anything since I'm not staff, and you gotta live near them, in California to become staff. *SIGH* I save some higher rarity items for Charity Corner too. Though, if they REALLY want to do an item-dump, they should find SOME way to make the 101 "special" rarity items worth actually turning in. LOL The Owner of Majal_Kita, was credited with winning a couple of the wars, AND getting a couple one-of-a-kind items as rewards for the finishing blows on the final bosses of a couple of the wars they were involved in! Coltzan CAN increase stats besides Intelligence. Seems to happen more at lower levels though. I think I was in the 3 tan-codestone range and he bumped me into the 4-stone range with that unexpected Defense boost. Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is a pretty fun game. The cutscenes are interesting, but the 3D renderings during the cutscenes... could've been better. lol Illusen and Fyora especially. lol The Legend of Dragoon. I bought and downloaded that onto my PS3 a long time ago, almost got around to beating it, didn't yet. Not my favorite battle-system, but a pretty good game. I remember the commercial for that game before it came out. Dart and the villain are dueling, and Dart cuts the guy's head off. And the guy starts WHINING to the Director! "Did you see that Nigel? He cut my head off!" Or something along those lines! lol I even found the commercial once on Youtube. lol POOR quality video, but still amusing. If you like games where you have to hit a button with fast/accurate timing, you might enjoy the Dragon's Lair trilogy. It's in both the Playstation and Nintendo e-shops and contains; Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp, and Space Ace. All 3 are beautifully drawn and animated adventures that you have to press a directional button at a specific time to survive and continue on in the story. They are all pretty old, but were drawn and animated by the LEGENDARY Don Bluth. (Think of movies like, The Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go To Heaven, Secret of NIMH and An American Tail, among others.) Dragon's Lair I think came out around 1982..? It's been awhile so I don't recall the exact year. But it was an arcade game, like the other two games. You can view full play-throughs on youtube. For me, the amazing quality of art and fluid animation always distracted me while playing. So I died, a LOT. I didn't actually BEAT Dragon's Lair, until I got the Nintendo DS version for my 3DS. Smaller screen = less space for my eyes to wander to take in the awesome art and animation. You're welcome! Both those items just might be useful. I currently have a Mysterious Red Potion equipped with my Bag of Healing Dust for when I was testing it, before I knew it was a healer. lol I left it equipped just in case TNT did like they did with Velm's Healing Potion. At one time, it too, could be equipped with another healer, but they decided to stop that. But those who had it in their sets already were allowed to keep it in their battle sets with another healer as long as they didn't unequip either of them. The Water Pistol would probably pair well with a Water Whip or a Clawed Shield. Which help reflect some fire, but not all. @berriganify, Cool, good luck rebuilding your bank and getting some training in! I've heard of Dark Cloud, but never played either of the games. I started playing Playstation games because a number of my favorite franchises from the NES/SNES moved to Playstation in the 90s. Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire and Mega Man, primarily.

Gonna be lurking in this thread for advice! I've been sporadically training up my BD pet over the past few years, but my set's never gotten past the "beat koi warrior in 1 hit" rank. I'm still rebuilding the bank, though, so my training will likely continue to be sporadic! I might have to look into this kitchen quest thing... (Also to get off topic for a second, the Legend of Dragoon?! That's a game I haven't heard of in years! I wonder if my PS1 still works, I think I still have it kicking around somewhere... out of curiousity, did you ever play Dark Cloud? That was my all time favourite game, I think I beat that like 6 or 7 times through high school.)

@archer2017, That sounds like a good plan! Training your butt off is always a GREAT thing to do where BATTLING is involved! Your starting set-up sounds like a good start! 2 Void Blades is fine, but you've got your great healer, and a solid freezer! If you'd like some help/pointers, feel free to start a topic with your battle-pet's stats, equipment, the 1p opponent you might want to take on, and a budget for buying new gear. Either myself, or other members of the forum will gladly offer advice. Good luck with the Training using the cookies! @Secre, DOUBLE ALL-STAR?! WOW! Congrats! I got All-Star once, a bunch of years ago, but.... missed the window to cash in the points at the prize shop... ^^; Ooooo Candychan is a cute petpet. Congrats on getting it! That's a good theory about the price of the stamps. *sigh* Still, it's crazy to inflate the stamps so much. I'm not much of a collector, but sometimes, I try with stamps. AC stamps are some I like to try for. Oh well.. Well, my STR and DEF are maxed. I keep training just in case TNT might SOMEDAY increase the number of boosts. My Strength and Defense stats are over 3200. My HP is "decent" at 3302hp right now. I say "decent" that way, because if you look at other pets who've trained longer and harder. Like the LEGENDARY Majal_Kita. One of the oldest most-LEGENDARY pets ever! That Jetsam has over 14,000hp! And that's NOT the most "powerful" pet in Neopia anymore, due to terms of HP or Equipment. I don't know who IS now, but when I started, Majal-Kita was famous during the War Plots. But still, there are pets who've been training for a VERY long time and I'm aware that the user who owns Majal_Kita, also has at least one other VERY powerful pet they've trained. So I'd imagine there are some with maybe upwards of over 25,000hp. I don't know for sure, I'm just guessing. LOL Oh man! I've had poorly time stat-boosts too! Random events, and one time I got like, a 5 point boost from Coltzan's Shrine, I think it was DEF. But in both cases, they bumped me up to the NEXT tan-codestone training level before I was ready. Really annoying! lol Wow! Yeah, boosting early sucks, but at least if your level is 250 you only need 1 red stone for each session to catch up. Also, if necessary, you could sell some of your tan-codestones for funds to buy more red stones if you ever need them. Ah ok! Most players I've talked to about the 10 quest limit didn't know about it beforehand. Glad you did know about it. I hope you keep getting some good luck with the KQs! You never know! It could be Jhudora! LOL Yeah, the grey faerie being either the reincarnation or reformed darkest faerie is just a theory. The Playstation 2 game, The Darkest Faerie, was pretty good, except for the glitches. lol Freezing mid-game that makes you reset and start from your last save was probably the most annoying. OH! Before I forget, something I forgot about the Mysterious Red Potion healing item. According to the info I've seen, it SHOULD STILL be equipable with other healers. Since it heals 25% of your HP when your HP is below 25%, it'd be a good "safeguard" measure if you're not certain about survival and you don't need ALL of your equipment slots, then it's worth it. ALSO, One other weapon, a gun that helps block Fire with a decent offense. Water Powered Pistol, it's a 13 icon-attack with a 5 fire icon block. Fire is a tricky element to block, so 5 icons is still decent. It's a cheaper alternative to some other. fire blockers. I was looking through my gallery for any possibly useful weapons I placed there, that was one of them I saw and rechecked the stats on.
