Hi I am hoping all of you at The Daily Neopets are OK. I usually depend on the Side Bar for forum information but I have noticed the side bar nothing has been posted since Wednesday. The Daily puzzle hasn't been updated and of course a lot of other information. I hope all of the people responsible for keeping me informed are doing well. Anyway, I hope whoever is the one that posts the information is doing well. I miss the information being posted. Also, I noticed a lot of missing updates.

Trudy's Surprise got a sweet new update today featuring chocolate themed prizes! Spin Trudy's Surprise for 7 consecutive days for a chance to win.

Neopets will be down for maintenance August 19th for approximately two hours, beginning at 8:30 AM NST, lasting until 10:30 AM. The site will be offline during this time.

I really wish they'd stop with the Invisible Pets for their special days It just seems lazy... And I get if they want to release them for the Cancelled Due To Lack Of Interest Day or something, rather than releasing the remaining ones all at once, but it just makes me feel bad for these Pets, and the players that have them as their favorites! They deserve something more than this. However, this Outfit is so beautiful, it almost makes up for the Invisible issue! I absolutely adore the pastel colors, and each piece looks perfectly detailed! I love the whimsical fantasy creatures they've been turning all our Pets into A very nice background as well! Once again, the colors are just perfect, and those little lanterns are a fun addition! A rather delightful day, Draiks!

An all new Wheel is available to spin to all Premium users. This one spin a day wheel offers an array of exclusive new prizes as well as Nerkmids, Stamps, Petpets, Clothing, Retired Items AND MORE! Head to the Wheel of Starlight to spin now!

Hi Granny! Thank you for your concern! Here at TDN, we are a small group of staff. Unfortunately, that means when life events happen, there aren't many to cover us. Now, when all of us have something going on, it's even trickier. I can't speak for everyone on staff, but for myself, I've been slammed at work with 10-hour days, 5-6 days a week. On top of that, I've been busy prepping for a major exam that's worth 50% of my course mark. I'm trying to get back into the loop with everything and work to keep our site updated for all our wonderful followers. If there's ever anything specific you notice we're missing, besides the daily puzzle and crossword, please send us a ticket on the main site. If you're in our Discord server, you can also send me a DM and let me know.

Okay. I'm late on the uptake because I meant to comment on this but apparently I did so in my head and not on the actual forum lol. Whoopsie. I wanted to say thank you so much for all your suggestions both for the equipment but also in ways to use it. I honestly never would have thought to pair up using Varia is the bomb and Turned tooth with that first attack along with lens flare to take down an opponent by a lot of hit points and rather quickly. Changing up my battle tactics and changing out my equipment along with more consistent training has allowed me to tackle much higher hit point opponents than I would have previously and be able to most likely defeat them. That has been super fun. I'm more willing to experiment now with who I fight instead of limiting myself so much. I never did figure out what I'm doing right now with the last two slots for equipment. I did end up slapping an Altadorian Swordbreaker in one of em and I've used it a couple times. I thought about leaving them open to equip with the massive amounts of muffins and one time use items that are in my SDB or with specific items that would help me fight a certain opponent like have something on hand that will ward off dark, light, or whatever they are using and just swap those items out depending on what fights I am going into. Other than that I usually find that everything in the equipment that I already have (even without using anything from those two slots) works pretty well. I just wanted to say thank you again for your time and expertise on the topic because it has definitely ramped up my battledome ability by a lot and it has increased my interest in playing battledome as well. I think I just need to probably scan your list and find more defensive items for those last couple of slots if I'm honest. I tried to do the print screen thing and attach an image but I am not as tech savvy as I once was apparently since I was unable to manage it.

Another two months have flown by and an all new Daily and Weekly quest pool released today. Enjoy a brand new set of items ranging from rare wearables, battledome items, petpets, stamps and more until November 1st, 2025. VIEW OUR GUIDE

I just took my 1st spin on this new wheel and this is what happened. Not bad for a free wheel!

Cool @lithiumkat! Varia is the Bomb is a constant 25 icon weapon good for once per battle, that'll give you a NICE extra clout to your opening attack! That and Turned Tooth could do a fair bit of damage on your opening salvo! Basically, about 96-118 damage at your current strength boost! Since Turned Tooth has variable offense. Ok, since it takes 3-4 turns for you to finish a battle, you probably should have some defensive gear on-hand. The opponents you list don't have a lot of icons in common, so "Downsize!" is definitely a defensive piece I think you should have. And yes the exclamation point is in it's name. It's always PRETTY cheap and is once per battle. Seems right now you can buy 1 from player shops at 5,000np. A little high but still not bad. I still have a Downsize! equipped in my set. lol Just in case. What other changes did you make to your equipment line-up? Here is a list of some defensive items I compiled awhile ago for taking some bite out of weapons that deal different elements. I JUST updated the prices so these are accurate as of 8pm NST.

Okay. I've made most of these changes suggested. I am planning to add Varia is the Bomb to one of the other empty slots because I've got some help obtaining one of those and I've been wanting to add one and guess I'm still going to have to figure out what works best in the remaining two. It probably takes me a few turns (3 or 4 maybe?) to defeat an opponent with fairly close hit points to my own. I'm not usually tackling opponents whose hit points are far higher above mine (it never even occurred to me to try and do so) here lately my regular opponents are likely to be Grrarg at maybe a medium level difficulty, I haven't tried Tekkitu the witch doctor but I suppose with the hit points being so close I ought to. Looked like an opponent that might poison me though so I haven't tried that yet. I could probably swing Robo Grarrl or Advisor Broo though I haven't tried yet. I've been training rapidly lately so the opponents that match fairly well hp wise are different than they were a short time ago and prior to today I had mostly been fighting the special opponents for the Battledome faction event. I also fight the voidlings and the void battles and I have no problems getting through the one with 5 waves of smaller guys then the big worm but I think that's the most difficult one I've made an effort of. I try to keep my wins/losses record decent so I don't usually try and fight a battle I don't think I can relatively reasonably win. I was fighting the Giant Spectral Mutant Waelin a fair bit and I probably could use a high difficulty and still do this but my hit points have gone up some here recently so I'm looking towards different opponents than before if that makes sense.

Hi @lithiumkat, I'm glad the birds are chirping about this topic! Hopefully you'll find some of the information here useful. So, sounds like you've got a decent rookie battler for a battle pet. First off do you know what the boosts are as far as Strength and Defense go for training? If not, they are the numerical points where your strength and defense actually improve. For example, your strength is at 113. So your weapons will do 2.5 damage per icon that hits your opponent. Your defense is 69, so each icon that your pet blocks will protect you from 2 damage per icon. Between the boost points, or you can call the boost a multiplier, your attack and defense don't change in battle at all. I know, it's an ODD system they came up with. lol Here is a link to TDN's guide on Strength and Defense boosts. https://thedailyneopets.com/battledome/strength-defense-boosts Looking at it I see it needs some minor updating as TNT added 2 new boosts to it fairly recently. Here's what finishes off the strength and defence boost chart. 750 to 799 16 damage 800 to 849 17 damage 850+ 18 damage Once your get Strength and Defense to 850, there's little to no point to training them anymore. My pet's strength is currently over 4000 and he still does the same as as pet with 850 strength. Anyway, so you know what your attack and defense is per icon now, and by looking at that chart, you can also train and work your way towards getting to the next boost/multiplier for Strength and/or Defense. Some people don't worry much about defense, but I like a balanced build. You could go Strength and HP, then use full blockers too, but that can be a bit pricey as well. Especially some of the dual duties, weapons that can attack and defend at the same time. I'm putting your equipment breakdown and my recommendations behind a spoiler tag, to shorten the post's initial display length. Hi @oceanblue5333, A pretty decent set of stats there, not to mention your battle equipment is on par with an Elite set. (Gotta love the Elite Prizes in the Void prize shop. lol) Ok, so with your Strength boost/multiplier, you're doing 7.5 damage per icon that gets to your opponent. And defensively you are blocking 5.5 damage per icon blocked. Which is you surmised with your set, there's not much blocking to go on there. First off, your set is, like I said, pretty Elite.
