I would suggest you keep both if you get both. Wand of the Dark Faerie is powerful, true. But if there's an opponent that can block dark, it would take a chunk out of the Wand's attack, as Duma pointed out. However, Grapes of Wrath as a back up with several different types of icons makes for a good secondary constant. In this plot, we don't know what TNT will think of. They may give a future opponent a The Mystical Tablet, like you have, that would demolish the attack of WoDF. Making it only good for healing and reflecting Light. In which case, GoW would be your best Attacker. Or in the case of your current set, your 2x Fan of Swords once you tossed your Varia is the Bomb. Once you have GoW, you could sell your Varia is the Bomb. While it boasts 1 icon better than GoW, it's only good for one use per battle, giving GoW more viability in a longer battle being multiple use.

That's why it's easiest to just buy the first lowest priced 15 items, that's what I did, it will cost you 872 points to do that. The last item you will buy is the King Roo collectable Card which is 100 points. Also, CONGRATS @sunny098 on getting one of the top tier weapons in the game!

That's what I'm getting on the hardest setting for the regular battledome enemies too. About 300np. I wonder if TNT expects us to get those increments to 50,000np? Or if they plan on tweaking it for the regular challengers? If you battle on mighty/extreme for your 15 regular battledome prizes per day before doing your void battles. That'll help. I usually do 5 waves of the 2nd wave (5 battles) of Void enemies on Extreme. You get 50 points per completed wave, so I only get points for 4 of the waves because of the max 200 plot point limit, but I do a 5th to make sure I didn't lose count. LOL If I do a 6th wave, that gets me to the max of 50,000np because I'd have less than 8k np to go to reach the 50k limit.

Cool, I was gonna say, they should be fairly cheap now. XD I believe the prize limits, 30, are JUST for the plot, and afterward it will return to 15. However the NP limit, 50,000, will apparently remain in place from what I've heard.

Sure! Just remember to Equip it and not Use it. Using it will use it up and it'll be gone forever. Equip it and you can use it in the battledome once per battle. You probably know this, but I ALWAYS type up that warning because it'd be tragic to lose an LEV to an accidental slip of the finger. Feel better Soup is super cheap now, so you could put it in a gallery, or your SDB until it gains some value, or you could give or sell it to someone who could use it but they can't afford a LEV yet. There several things you could do with it. Just some ideas. XD You're looking for the hospital stamp? The one with the green gelert on it?

Sounds like a plan! I somehow managed to RS one some time ago, and was trying to sell it just before it got into the prize pool. Went from 2 mil in value, now down to about 600k the last time I looked. So yeah, not worth a lot. XD Yeah, not really. You're right. Your weapons way out-class what you get as items after clearing the waves. Some of them might be a little interesting, but yeah, too weak for you. That being said, the prize of healers coming down has been AMAZING with the influx of LEVs, Leaded Elemental Vials from the hospital shifts! I just got another one a couple minutes ago when I finished a hospital shift. Crazy! LOL Anyway, but if TNT changes the prize pools in act 2, that might be another story. Who knows? I don't know what they'll do for act 2, but I keep seeing rumors on the plot neoboards that they'll change or add prizes to the hospital prize pool. I haven't heard anything to that officially, so I don't know if it will happen or not. BUT, if it did, who is to say that the next wave might not be in a different dome, with different prizes? That would be pretty cool and keep things interesting! But that's only wishful thinking and theory, based upon rumor. Not to be taken seriously.

Nice, it's a Light reflector. It will reflect 75% of Light icons and NEVER break. The BEST straight light reflector you can buy from a shop! Light is easy to block though, so it's not very valuable, less so since it entered the prize pool. But it might be useful depending on the opponent. Now, if you get a Wand of the Dark Faerie from the plot Prize Shop, (5000 points), it has the same light reflection for it's defense, while having a 21-29 icon offense. Plus it's healing factor, 25% heal when you're below 25% of max HP, and it doesn't count as a healing item. So honestly, I'd say you could sell the Combo Battle Mirror. If you needed Light Defense, The super cheap Parasol of Unfortunate Demise blocks ALL light and then some.

Yeah, same, though I feel for those without the Lens Flare ability, being at risk of getting hit with halitosis from the Voidlings and having to pay the inflated price for Onion Balm to cure the Watery Eyes it causes. Nice stats btw. You've got strength and defence maxed out, very cool.

Sure, that would probably be the LEV, just because it IS a full heal. There are other pieces of equipment that can block some or more Air. I think there are one or two that block Full Air besides Feel Better Soup. But one that blocks a decent amount of air and is in the current prize shop for example, the Extra Loud Techo Fanatic Megaphone that was also offered at last year's AC prize shop, has a 15 icon attack but ALSO blocks 75% of air icons set your way. This combined with Roxtons Trusty Bowie Knife which also has a 15 icon attack but blocks 75% of Earth, makes it a devastating combo against a Super Attack Pea, though since you aren't doing 2p battling, you may or may not see a Super Attack Pea. I'm just saying for reference. IF you ever do come across a 1p opponent that uses a SuAP, that combo will severely weaken the SuAP's attack.

First off, Congrats on getting a LEV! You helped beat/break the system! The difference is interesting. Feel Better Soup heals 50% of your Max HP and also blocks full air when it is used. LEV simply gives you a FULL HP recovery in battle. But that's all. Though if you use it outside of the dome, it's used up and vanishes forever. Poof! So if you decide to equip the LEV, make sure you Equip it, and not Use it when doing so. Both of these healers can be used Once Per Battle. I hope that helps!

LOL That's FINE! That's just the fastest you could get there via regular training, if you really really wanted to! Just go at whatever pace works for you. If you want to work on other stats instead of level, go for that. If you decide to work on level there are always Terror Trove and Faerie Fortune Scratchcards too that can yield levels. Though, those can go to ANY pet, not just your active one. My vandagyre I think is at level 42, ALL "stolen" levels from scratching scratchcards when my peophin was active. lol Kitchen Quests can also sometimes yield levels, but those, like when stat points are awarded, go to your active pet. So you've got some options to up your level without doing the regular training. Just in the way of playing the game regularly.

You're very welcome! I'm glad I could offer some good advice. Typically I tend to think on a lower budget system, but if you really want to splurge. lol I can come up with some EXPENSIVE gear for you too. Happy battling!

Hi @Wildbreeze! For a beginner set, it's not bad! Well, for starters, to replace Scroll of the Scholar, if you've got 800 plot points already, you could get a Void Blade from the prize shop. It's 16 constant icons and the voidlings have one! lol They're still not buyable on the shop wiz, so that's just a suggestion. if you want to save some NP, you can buy one from a user if you want to save your prize points though. A CHEAPER though potentially stronger option would be to buy a Turned Tooth, 13-22 icons with an average of between 15-16 icons. Since it has variable offense. It can be pretty powerful and even at it's weakest it would be stronger than you other multi-use weapons. Price has SKYROCKETED though, about 800k for ONE now. So I recommend buying one soon if you're going to! Replace Gilded War Hammer for Hanso Charisma Charm. The charm has 10 icon attack and defends ALL darkness. For your healer. It would actually get you a bit of profit if you sold your Rejuvenating Jar of Brains and bought a Feel Better Soup. the RJoB heals 60hp, Feel Better Soup heals 50% and defends all Air on the turn it's used. Also, it's cheaper. But it's up to you, just a suggestion. Leaf shield is ok, but not too useful right now with the voidlings, still save it since it might be more useful later. Keep Downsize! Obviously keep Varia is the Bomb! XD Hmm... Bow of the Hegelob can be replaced... If you're truly willing to spend upwards of 10 mil, maybe a 2nd Turned Tooth? You may not need it for the first wave(s) but perhaps further down the line it will come in handy? Snowager Sword.. It's weak, but it gives you some fire protection, which is not an easy element to block. Still, I'd almost want to recommend downgrading the attack to a Scarab Ring to increase the Defense a little. 6attack instead of 7, but 3 fire but also 3 physical for defense. Hmm.... Well, I'm thinking budget again. You could probably use something for protection. Let's see, Fire protection, and something that can block some physical. How about a Solar Flare Shield? Blocks 3 each of Air, Fire, Physical and Water. For about 80,000np. Ooo I REMEMBER now! The Water Powered Pistol! 13 Icon attack and 5 icon Fire defense! About 300,000 right now on the Shop Wiz! Let's see, I trust you have the ability Lens Flare, right? So against the Voidlings you should be using Lens Flare, plus Varia is the Bomb, plus, Scroll of the Scholar since it's your 2nd strongest weapon right now at 10 icons. The only reason to use Lens Flare at your level against Voidlings is to stop them from using Halitosis, which can make your pet sick and have to withdraw from the waves of fights. My pet had to and then had to heal from Water Eyes before he could fight again. Quite annoying, but he was still able to earn the max 200 prize points for the day despite being interrupted. As far as training goes, you're close to the 250 boosts, so get your strength there first, and focus on either HP or Defense. However fits your style of play. There's no boost for getting your HP to 250, it just keeps you fighting longer, but the boost for defense is the same as it is for Strength, so you'll cut damage down 5.5 damage with your defense at 250, just like at 250 your strength will inflict 5.5 damage per icon dealt to your enemy! I hope this helps! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I try to check the forum a couple of times a day.

Well, if my math is right, and it might be SLIGHTLY off. But if you trained non-stop. You could be at level 250 in 94.75 days. Or, 94 Days, 18 hours, about. It's up to you if you want to go for it. You could get a lot of Red Stones during that time too, plus the plot would probably still be running. Also, the first level of Red Stone training takes 4 hours. So you can take the number of red stones you have and count each on as 4 hours of training until you get your stats caught up. So, it's up to you, whatever you think is more viable for you to do. it's completely up to you. I've never been a major fan of the power leveling strategy, but with the price of Eo's, and the training time during an actual plot with massive inflation. I can see it being a more viable option than during peacetime. So yeah, totally your call. Whatever you do is fine! You'll still do fine in the plot! Though I will say, it might be useful getting to level 200 so you have access to the Warlocks Rage ability. For future waves. It's the same as Lens Flare, so you'd get 2 free turns to attack instead of 1! After battling this first wave, since the Voidlings have Halitosis, Lens flare and going for a 1-round knock-out is a good strategy to avoid getting sick in battle and having your string of battles cut-short. Happened to me once and I had to heal my peophin from Watery Eyes before he could fight again. LOL

LOL Ok, well good! 8-stones is a real pain anyway. I was trading in some of my tans for reds at Techo Mountain, but the latest request is 4 Eo's. I'm not sure if I want to trade'em, in and risk getting a mag or sho, (when I have plenty of those) or sell them at the current high prices. lol

Hey Gillytook and Musical_shoyru. I was just looking at Red Stone Prices, and other than Mag Codestones, they've all dipped in price by about 10k or so. Meanwhile, it looks like tan stones are still pretty stable in price, especially those darned Eo Codestones, at about 49k. I'm definitely gonna recommend you both STRONGLY consider power leveling to 250 to enter the Secret Ninja Training Academy. Mainly because of the price of Eo codestones. Getting requested multiples of those would be VERY expensive vs even the most expensive of the Red Stones. 2 Eo's would be just under 100k, or, 1.4 Vux, Kew, or Zed red codestones. Or, Almost 2 Cui Red Codestones. or, Almost 4 Sho Red Codestones, or, Almost 7 Mag red Codestones. Those are rough estimates as of the prices for the reds I saw just now. At least with the Secret Ninja Academy, you can cancel an overly expensive training session. Though you must wait exactly 24 hours before you can attempt to enroll that pet in another course. Good luck!

Yeah, at 8 tan codestones it's definitely worth it! At 3-4 Eo codestones you're paying for about 2 and a half to 3 of the most expensive red stones in NP, just for those alone. Definitely time to level to 250! It's good that you've got a stockpile of red stones so you hopefully won't need to buy them during the plot. Once you reach the red stone training, you can either sell any leftover tan codestones, or visit techo mountain and try to convert 10 randomly requested codestones into a random red codestone.

FINALLY got my peophin to over 4000hp! Ironically, I was hoping for a Dark Faerie Quest, to get to 4000-even. But that didn't come until about an hour after the Faerie Queen quest that pushed me over the 4000 mark. lol This is the screenshot I saved though, at 4,002hp. Even though I'm now at 4,005.

Yeah, not terrible. And it's not really the waiting that's the killer imho. For me it's the cost. That being said, I didn't do the jump to the red stones until I was in the 8-stone range, and admittedly, that was a bit of a struggle, but I wanted to stick to my ideals on the topic of power-leveling. Since it was just about time for the Obelisk War to start and I was really tired of the cost of 7 tan codestones. For me it was cost because earning NP takes a long time because I can't really RS hardly at all so the main source of my NP comes from games and events. Once I got into the 8-stone range though, I decided it was fine to level through to the red stone training. It was more cost and time-effective then. Some people were doing it from the 3 and 4 tan-stone training levels. Which of course made the at the time limited supply of red stones even more limited. Messes with the economy and all that. But you're in the 6-stone range, if you wanted to power level to the red stone range for cost and/or time I could see that, especially since plot-inflation has codestone prices so high, especially Eo Codestones. But, like I said before, you could be asked for really expensive single red Codestones too. Zed, Kew and Vux are all over 86,000np, Cui is above 66,000np last I checked., Sho and Mag are cheaper, One is around 20-30k, the other is cheaper, though I don't recall which was at which level off-hand. Still. It's up to you and however you want to play the game.

Hmmm that's a tough call. If you had some Training Fortune Cookies you could reduce your training time, it's random per session, but those cost some NC. Well, figure roughly how much NP your 6 stones cost you, and look at how much 1 Red Stone costs. The most expensive Red stones are almost 90,000np. There are some Cheaper red stones, like Mag and Sho codestones. Cui, last time I checked was in the mid 60k's, but Vux, Kew, and Zed stones were all in the high 80k's. So it's really up to you if you want to power-level or now to level 250 so you can go to red stones. You can try taking to do some Col_Mack to Kitchen Quests, though those can be expensive and if you don't get a stat point increase, the rewards are not usually worth the cost. But it's up to you. For NC training, I always recommend the Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies. They're the Cheapest and random faerie quests give more stat points than regular training does, though you only get one quest per day and it's not always a faerie you might need/want. It could be an air faerie, and movement is pretty worthless. Still, considering you might get asked for multiple Eo Codstones, you certainly might consider power-leveling to the 1 red stone level.

If anything you could use the Thunder Sticks for some NP for your bank if you don't want them. Sleep ray is fine for a 100% freezer, and if you have enough prize shop points left over for Thunder Sticks, well, just throwing that idea out there. From your abilities and equipment, I would guess that your battle strategy is probably the 3-free turn strategy right? Lens Flare, Warlocks Rage and Freezer if needed, right? When you get your pet to level 400, Reflect I would recommend Reflect. Esepcially since you're not set up for much defense. Hopefully TNT doesn't throw us a curve ball then where something more than the 3-free turn strategy is required. They did say they'd have something to challenge the veteran battlers. So as I was discussing with Duma on the previous page, we don't know what that might be. I'd say your set right now, honestly, is underpowered for your maxed out stats. But when you get enough prize shop points to upgrade like you want to, then you'll be sitting real pretty offensively. If you want to consider some cheap, defensive gear, I'll refer you to this comment on the previous page. I cover some cheap equipment that will defend some or more icons that covers pretty much every element. Dual-duties and shields. Oh, and a Downsize! of course. If you're not interested in cheap defensive gear that might come in handy if TNT does throw us a curve ball, you can disregard this link.

Cool! You're welcome. I was going through my SDB earlier and it turns out that I have 75 of them! lol A LOT more than I thought I had! I don't buy them either, I just visit the shrine once a day at midnight, or close to it. lol I never seem to get there quite on the second. lol Sure! That's why I created this topic in hopes that people would come together seeking advice for their sets and then people could make suggestions and offer ideas and the like. I look forward to when that happens. Maybe with this plot more interest in the BD will be sparked, that's what I hope anyway!

LOL Yeah, the Obelsik bosses are pretty easy with the max boosts. XD One and Done. lol With the right weapons of course. Ah cool! LOL I should check on my spare BD items since it's been so long, though I know a LOT of them are junk I got from stealing from sleeping Snowager. lol That's cool that you've already got a lot of the items I mentioned! XD Btw, if you do want a cheap Light reflector that to the best of my knowledge doesn't break. Expert Lens is the way to go., 50% Reflect, same as Dual Battle Mirrors, but it's from Coltzan's Shrine, and there should be plenty in player shops for cheap if you don't have one already from visiting the shrine. I probably have several dozen in my SDB so I could send ya one if you don't already have one.

Nice Duma! I honestly don't recall what your set used to contain, but this one is certainly heavy on the offense! With a good mix of icon variety! Yeah, there's not much you CAN do for your set without spending a lot of NP. I mean, IF you needed some shields or reflectors for some SPECIFIC element(s) for some SPECIFIC opponent(s) we could talk some weaker shields and reflectors that could at least take a dent out of some of what you were up against. I take it your strategy is using Lens Flare, Warlock's Rage and Sleep Ray to give you up to 3 rounds of Free Attacks, right? I ask because other than the Downsize! I don't see much in the way of defense. LOL Not that I'm one to talk either with my current set setup. But, I would not be surprised if TNT came up with some way of making us need either MORE than that strategy or something OTHER than that strategy to win some of the battles. I mean, they DID say that there would be some opponents to challenge the veteran battlers. We don't know what that means, but we should expect them to do something about the 3-free rounds strategy. I just HOPE they don't make it so that Shhh! can cancel out Lens Flare and Warlocks Rage by going first. That would really stink! And it'd be even tougher for the newer battlers imho. Though, it would bring things kind of back to where they were with the OLD faerie abilities that only had a chance of freezing opponents, instead of 100% chance of stopping them from acting. Anyway, if you haven't put much concern into defense, or don't have many defensive items in your SDB, you might consider some items that don't cost an arm and a leg that you could get that might help shave off some icon damage. I don't know the prices, but some items off the top of my head would be some dual duties and defenders like Hanso Charisma Charm to block all dark with a 10 icon attack. Parasol of Unfortunate Demise, to block all Light, and some earth and water icons. Roxtons Trusty Bowie Knife for a 15 icon attack and blocks 75% of Earth. Flaming Oven Gloves may be kinda weak, Blocks 5 Fire and 2 Light, but it's some fire defense, saved my bacon several times when I was a young battler. lol Not sure how they'd work with the max boosts though, still. They're cheap too. Leaf Shield from Illusen's Quests is still good for Earth, Water, and Physical. Just the first few pieces of equipment that came to mind. Altadorian Swordbreaker, only a 6-icon attack, but blocks all Physical. That would just leave Air that's not defended in any of those items, I think. Hmmm..... Double Dryer, the 50% reflector is decent and not too expensive. Let me do some quick looking..... Ok, With your pet's Int-stat, Parchment Cloak would give you protection from several icons, +5 Air icons thanks to your INT being above 150. Or there's one of my old standby items, the Earthen Scorchstone, good for Air AND Darkness. Greater Defense Scroll defends 5 Air Icons too. If you want a Dual-Duty that can defend Air. Bubble Wands, only blocks 3 Air icons, but has a 9-icon attack. This is all on a budgetary thing of course. There are better options, but like you said, you don't want to get into the millions or tens of millions of NP range. So I'm just having a little fun typing out some of the budgetary items. Anyway, some of these items MIGHT actually help you in a pinch, depending on what TNT decides to throw at us. I always keep a few items of varied defensive items in my SDB to swap out just in case, old habits die hard after all. Even though, truth-be-told, I've become somewhat complacent with this current battle system and using Lens Flare and Warlocks Rage if/as needed. That's one of the reasons I'm excited for the plot, hoping for a shake-up in the strategies. Oh yeah, on Heavy Robe of Thievery. Provided TNT gets Stealing fixed in the BD, I think you'll enjoy it. Especially if you steal a really good weapon from your opponent! Mine has been sitting in my SDB since stealing broke, gathering dust. I'm looking forward to being able to using it again, fingers crossed!

Ah ok. Sorry for misunderstanding then. lol And ok, cool. Coming up with strategies are part of the fun for me in the BD. If you have a hard time with one of the opponents TNT throws our way let me know and maybe we can get you some wins. But with your stats you should be ok for awhile. lol I don't know what TNT's got in mind, but they did mention some opponents that would challenge even the veteran battlers, so I'm curious what they meant by that. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little excited about it either. lol
