lol At this point, yeah! Now IF they get the stealing aspect of the BD working again! (For the Heavy Robe of Thievery for instance). It would be useful up to the minimum to use it, 201 in movement points. Or maybe they plan on releasing some movement based equipment in the future? Still, free is free. 😉

Wow! What an absolutely touching story about getting Kai and his first day in his new home with his new family! Almost brought a tear to my eyes reading about it! Just beautiful! Loved the shot of him on the slide too! XD

I see Barit Jowes in there! Nice!

Firstly, welcome to the forums! ? I hope you enjoy your time here. LOL Nice! This is my 7th in a row, 9th overall. I dread the next year's AC from the time the present AC ends until the new one begins. lol Yet I still play. I wish they would fix some of the responsiveness issues, it would make the game go faster and more smoothly. I still play for a couple of reasons. 1) I like Maraqua and have only played for them, not counting when we all got to change teams as our teams were knocked out in the first 2 ACs so all the players could participate in the Finals. Then I didn't play until 2012's AC, (I was on a LONG Hiatus from Neopets), which brings us to this year's AC. It's a huge time commitment and I've only reached All-star once because I couldn't get time or in some years the motivation after a while, to get in all games necessary to reach All-star. YYB is the main game I play. Anyway, Reason 2) I like to see how much I've progressed from the previous year. Such as my goals per game average, and how many goals I can score in one game. Just got done with my 24th game of YYB for the AC with a score of 17-0. 3rd year in a row scoring that high and I think my 5th year total to do so. I know I had a Reason 3, but I guess I forgot it. lol Oh wait, I remember now. the Prizes!!!! In hopes a great new weapon will be released! But affording it with Prize Points is hit or miss. lol How I wish they'd count goals for prize-shop points in some way. LOL I also enjoy the Staff Tournament. ? It's nice to just have to guess or figure out who's good and picking them. Plus some of us keep track of our rosters from last year so when the new staff tourney rolls around we can compare notes and decide who we want on our teams. There'll be a thread created when the staff tournament starts. Good luck with your AC gaming and good luck to your team!

Maraqua's goalie could use some more training. I mean, when he misses a block, he ALWAYS falls flat on his face. It's annoying. lol After all these years, I think, as much as I'm not a chia-fan, we might swap him for the goalie from the Chia Practice Squad! LOL He'd probably be more effective. lol

So, who's joining Maraqua this year? And if you're a repeat player, how long have you been playing for Maraqua? I've only played for Maraqua for 9 ACs, I've only played 9 ACs. lol The first two, and then started back up in 2012 to now. I'm looking forward to playing more YYB and seeing if I can do a 3-peat for scoring. If I can score 17 goals in one game this year, it will be the 3rd AC in a row I've gotten a score of 17, 5th year in total. A real shame our goals don't do much except maybe advance goals per game averages of our front man Elon. lol My ideal goal would be to manage 18 goals in a game. I believe that would be a "Perfect Game" score. But, I doubt I can do that. Scoring would have to be perfect for EACH possession, and I always mess up either in the first or 3rd minute of play. lol Well, either I mess up or the opponent gets a lucky steal or shot in. lol XD So mainly I play to improve my scoring in YYB and my Goal per Game average. I'd LOVE it if Maraqua won the cup in a year I was playing. I've only reached All-Star ranking once. It's crazy how many games of YYB you gotta play, and now that off-days don't count, at least they didn't last year, toward your personal stats, I might not get back to all-star. lol I prefer playing with the keyboard, going from Right to Left, 1:3 formation, and our goalie could use some more training! LOL It's possible for the goalie to score a goal, but those don't count on the goal counter of your stats, and it's possible to score in 1 second instead of the usual 2, by getting a Fire Yooyu with the Enlargement Power-up. So that's a VERY RARE happening. BTW that's the same Yooyu/Item combo you need to score a goal with the goalie. Anyway, that's a bit about my AC history and some of the tricks I know. How about you guys?

MA-RA-QUA!!!! I've ALWAYS played for them and I shall continue to do so! It's just unlucky that game SCORES have little bearing on anything. I'm going to try for a 3-peat of scoring 17 goals this year. The 3-peat will be if I score 17 goals once this year, it will be 3 years in a row of scoring 17 in a single game. I think you'd need a robot or something to actually score 18, a perfect game of 18 SEEMS plausible, but something usually messes me up so a score of 17 is VERY rare. XD Last year I managed to score 17 5-times, the previous year, only once. Not at all the year prior to that, but I think I scored 17 the year before that.... didn't look into my records from that far back though. LOL I screenshot EVERY 10+ game. Initially I did it when I had a "high" scoring game, but the score didn't send. I was so frustrated because I couldn't PROVE to TNT that I had scored that high. So I started screenshoting those scores. But since scores don't really matter, the Win does, so I just did it to keep track of my progress over the years. I have screenshots going back to 2012 when I came off my last hiatus and started participating in Neopets and the AC again. Oh, and I was right, 4 AC's a go I had 3 games with scores of 17. Just none the 3rd AC ago. lol As long as I was checking on how far back my records went, I thought I'd double-check that. ?

@hrtbrk I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. But I just donated 10 Outdoor Pirate Flags, rarity 90, and only got 10 points. Also, last night I donated 10 Virtupets Energy Sabres, rarity 89, and also only got 10 points. By the math in the guide, I should have gotten 60 points for the flags, and 20 points for the Sabres. Do you think this might be a bug on Neo's end? Any advice?

Not a bad "get"for it's market price! 9 icons attack and 5 light defense. It's not the best weapon, but it's certainly not the worst. ? Especially if you're battling an opponent that has a fair amount of light-based weapons.

What species is your pet? There may be a species healer that could be cheaper than the GHS. And how much HP does your pet have?

LOL More or less I guess. ? Sorry for the delayed reply. ^^; Wow! And, I've never heard of Godori, what type of game is that? Yeah, they say that a person with a high intellect is more likely to notice a mental decline, than one who doesn't have such a bright IQ. I don't have MS, but I do know I've lost at LEAST a "few" points over the years. ? So In can sympathize with you on that front. ? Ah, so you only were after a few Frozen Neggs for the neggery? Congrats on getting them! You must be training fast and furiously! Good luck with that and your battles!

I have 7 points left from last year. LOL Last year I went with Bank Bribery, 2 inventory slot increases (So I can hold 60 instead of 50 items) and... I forget what else, if I had enough left over to do anything with. lol I would LOVE to see Bank Bribery back. It doesn't really matter which faction I select then for the skirmishes. So I can go with helping people who need one faction to win, or go with what my guild wants to go after, etc. It's a nice thing to take OUT of the equation when deciding which faction to join. ? There are some old Avatars I wouldn't mind getting, IF they'll be getable. Some site-themes too.

Sorry for this reply being late. I haven't felt to well as of late. Ah! Alrighty! I've never gotten hold of a Frozen Negg, so BEST OF LUCK! Wow! I didn't realize MS could impair mental health as well as the physical. That sucks. ? That's gotta be SO frustrating for you at times! I mean, I know my cognition isn't the greatest, I don't have MS, but there are times I frequently forget things, or it can take me a longer time to process things, and I know that's frustrating like crazy for me. Anyway I'm rambling. Sorry about that. I hope my advice for the BD was clear enough for you to take in. If not I can try again. Happy battling!

Well, Frozen Neggs look pretty cool... pardon the pun. ? May I ask why you are after them? I'm just wondering if it's for the NP or the Neggery Points? OK, I'll try to keep my BD-text as simple as I can go, if that will help. I didn't know MS could mess with the thought-process. ? So I'm looking at your Kacheek, and with a multiplier of 9.75 (at 450+ points of Strength) I think you should be able to win fairly consistently, with a little luck. Though it wouldn't hurt if you had a really good Bomb on-hand for round 1. Unfortunately, the Bomb I would recommend is the Ghostkerbomb, which in the Hidden Tower costs 7.5mil. It is however, one of the best bombs as it can do 21-30 icons of damage once per battle. Plus you can get them cheaper usually if you buy from other users. Like in the TP or Auctions. I greatly recommend it. If you aren't going to use any defensive items then you could stop training defense. Though, I might suggest you pick up a Downsize! spelled that way WITH the ! at the end of it's name. It will block 50% of all damage Once Per Battle. As for the slugfest with Snowy. Like I said, I got to round 6, and he KO'd me. I'm not sure HOW he froze me because his Snowager's breath, in the text, said it missed. But then when his 16 icon attack hit me, it hit me for over 5000 damage. An INSANE Amount of Damage for 16 icons. Anyway, good luck farming Frozen neggs! I hope you get some!

I think TNT just likes to mess with us. Why else would they have unlimited use of items that are once-per battle or even Single-Use for us? I believe Duma is right about the HP. They don't all have the same HP as the difficulty. Maybe that's also to throw off people's assumptions about that being the same as difficulty and their strength and defense multipliers? I'm not sure. NOBODY but TNT knows why TNT does such weird things as they tend to do. LOL Snowy is a toughy, that's for sure. But it appears I haven't fought him yet in the NEW Battledome. *Trudges to the Frost Dome to try at 650* Yep! First battle in the Frost Dome for me it seems. (I pretty certain I've fought/defeated him in the old BD.) Ok, so depending on your stats, he's not as tough as I thought at his lowest difficulty setting. I usually go after foes around that difficulty rating, though it's generally their highest rating that they're as strong as 650-Snowy. So he went down in my first turn. Ghostkerbomb + Blazing Embers + Lens Flare and he took 715 damage. But my pet's STR is maxed out. That being said, I'm fairly sure my pet's HP isn't high enough to win an endurance-match against his stronger difficulties yet. I'd probably be better off with some upgraded equipment too. Although.... now that I've thought about it, I'm really tempted to see how long I can last in a harder battle before Snowy blasts my Peophin into a Peophin-pop. lol I'm probably not going to try that right now. LOL But it's kind of tempting. ? Anyway, if you've got some good constant-icon weapons, you might have better luck against him before your Lens Flare and Warlock's Rage rounds are up. If you have (or can get) a freezer-item on hand, that can give you a 3rd round without him attacking. If you're interested in opponents with similar difficulty/power. I'd recommend Tekkitu the Witch Doctor, Plumbeard, and Shadow Usul. All on MIGHTY difficulty of course. ? Some of them have some interesting exclusive prizes. ? EDIT: OK, 6 rounds on medium difficulty! Though I don't understand WHY he beat me in the 6th. Actually..... BOTH Snowager's breath the ABILITY and Snowager's Breath the WEAPON were used, so that's PROBABLY why I got confused. Though I didn't know that Snowager Breath caused damage as well as a current-round freeze (like Lens Flare and Warlock's Rage). I knew the freezing part, but not the damage part. lol I had Leaf Shield, Blazing Embers and the ability REFLECT chosen. Below is the text I got in the battle log. Total damage done to me was 5425! To put that in perspective. My peophin's STR, as previously stated is maxed out at 750+. If he hit with 16 icons, he'd ONLY do 256 damage, maximum! Snowy did about 21 times that amount of damage in his single attack! What luck! The Snowager missed you with Snowager's Breath! x 6 x 10 The Snowager showers you with their icy Snowager Breath!
