I love Maractite with Desert clothes- Maractite looks so amazing with gold accents, and Desert has gold in abundance. :D

Wow, thanks for all the responses and inspiration you guys! All of these pets are so beautiful. :) I definitely have some thinking to do, I may end up going with the Bori. :D Thanks for the feedback and please don't hesitate to post more if you come across something. & Spritzie I think the royal shoyru with the blue base color is awesome. I never would have thought about going with a base color but it looks amazing! I like your idea of switching out royal boy/royal girl shoyru clothes. Seems like it would make for some cute customizations. :)
 
edit: Found another one I really like! Marcatite aisha and desert cross-paint:

Welcome back to the old Order members and welcome to those joining us for the first time! I LIKE the positive attitude here! Let's keep it going! :D
 
Siniri, that's REALLY good advice for Zorna. The 50% light reflector lens is the Expert Lens. I can list the other 50% fragile reflectors by heart if anyone needs the list. (i used to use them all the time, still do sometimes, in a pinch) ;)
 
Also, I thought these guides from the Battlepedia might help.
http://battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com/index.php/oneplayer/index/14/ This one is the challenger profiles of ALL the Obelisk War challengers, including faction leaders. Pick the one you're fighting against, and you can see what weapons and abilities they use. Thus, you can plan your set and/or strategy accordingly. ;)
 
This other link is a guide for fighting each WAVE of the challengers. Suggested weapons for each wave are included.

Be sure to check out the challenger profiles though for fine-tweaking your sets!
 
And now that I think about it, I'll include 2 more links. 1st To the stat-boost list. Shows how many points you need to get to each boost (icon damage multiplier)

Lastly,
This link to our Basic Battle Sets guide. It has some prices, from around the time of the war. So prices may have changed since, but they'll give you an idea as to what the average prices are.

I hope these guides are useful! I figure since we have some rookie-battlers, they might be.

I really like the grey/royal Acara combination...it's like she's so sad about that pointy little hat on her head.
 
I want to crosspaint Jvela Royal/Island:

I think most Faerie/Royalgirl cross paints look pretty darling! My friend has a transparent/halloween hissi cross paint that looks pretty great too.

As far as your options I love the Bori the most. :)

I have a Royal Girl Faerie Peophin :D
I think she is just so elegant.

I don't have any pets that are complete cross-paints in the sense that it's a different base color, with all of the PB items of another. I do, however, have several sets of PB clothes that I use on my pets.
 
I have a blue Shoyru that I sometimes mix and match with Royal Girl and Boy clothing (Or mix some of the items into other customizations):

For Draiks, I also have PB clothes from Pirate, Christmas, Royal (girl) and Desert that I mix around as well. (Usually the jewelry and tail ornaments) It makes for nice accents to their customizations.

So, does anyone have an awesome crosspainted pet they would like to share? Whether it be a dreamie or a pet you already have :) I'm just curious because I've been waiting for something to really pop out at me as my next pet and so far I am stuck between three: (This may change as I keep actively looking) but so far I really love these 3. Opinions on your favorite out of these?
 



 
PS: I know you have this pet Rebecca, I just couldn't resist leaving him out as I may really start leaning towards him as my permie, but also the bori and acara are really adorable too. I'm having a hard time making a decision. Input? and/or other awesome cross-painted pets that you want/have? :) Thanks guys!

So true Rebecca! It's already going by extremely fast. I just hit level 15. :D I'd advise the others that are in my position to go ahead and do the same, because you get to keep all of your building, eggs, etc. The buildings just revert back to level one. It's so much easier than the first go around though, you just fly through the levels. :) I'm wishing everyone else the best of luck and hopefully giving you a little encouragement to restart!
 
Edit: Level 20 today! Woohoo! :D I'm predicting it will take me 4-5 more days tops.

It'll go so fast now that you know all the tips and tricks to making your Habi as functional as possible. :D

Welp, hello again fellow Order members. (Sway from the beginning though) I have to admit I did not do much last round. :/ I did around 100 battles I think. This time I really will be stepping it up though! My pets not exactly the best, but definitley enough to plow through the first two rounds and the third If I decide to stop being so cheap and upgrade my healer. Best of luck everyone! :D

Hee, I'm glad you think the Faerie/Royal crosspaint is so lovely. :D I'm really fond of it with the Royal Girl clothing as well- the dress is super nice. :D (I'm kind of tempted to paint some random Shoyru royal girl to steal the dress for Ansteigen. >.>)
 
I think that if I was to go for a different cross paint, and get a new pet, I'd probably do this one:

I think he just looks SO COOL. 8D

As far as I know, that would work. You could then just pound the Royal Kacheek (as clothes don't go in the pound) and keep them for your Plushie Kacheek. :D I think that's one of my favorite cross-paints, too. But I do really like the Bori.

I had a Striped/Christmas Xweetok crosspaint once.
 

Not much, but it's something, and it's cute.
 
Also: This isn't a dreamie or a pet I already have, but this is pretty darn cute. :D

Yay! I got a space faerie quest today and she asked for an item worth 50np's! My pet went up four levels. :) I'm quite happy.

Grundos are not overly popular as species. Christmas is a cheap paint job. Add to that the fact that many people are name picky and will turn down a pet if its name is not capitalised.
 
If you plan to keep your other Grundo (princess), then I'd advise pounding since you will be keeping the clothes for your other pet.

Perhaps you could pound her and check back later to see who has adopted her. You could drop them a neomail asking if they'd like you to transfer the clothing over if they want it?

ALRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Looks like there's a LOT of enthusiasm here! Naturally I'm sticking with The Order! :D
 
I've been training too, so with a little luck, and the new boosts, I'll get more wins in on the faction leaders this time! Working on my HP now as I want to raise that up to get as much of an edge as I can on the faction leaders, in case my 1-shot combo fails. ;)
 
It's great to see lots of returning members to The Order, especially those of us who have been with this faction from the beginning. I admire the dedication! We've been denied twice, let's make certain that we are NOT denied again! :D
 
To BATTLE!!!!!!
 
Huh? You mean the battle doesn't start for 52 hours and 41 minutes? Ok then..... To LUNCH! Or supper, or breakfast, wherever good times are had. LOL That last bit was from a commercial, not sure which at the moment. LOL
 
Good luck fellow Order members! It's within our grasp, so let's do our best! :D
 
Btw, it's amazing, we've lost twice, and yet our forum thread here at TDNForums is still the longest by almost double. I think that shows we've got real dedication among our members here! Great to be a part of it! :D
 
Later!

I like your thinking! I want to stay loyal to the Sway but the Order were my second choice before so I'm definitely keen on joining them this time and I would like a shot at another site theme/avatar. I think the Duchess would appreciate some undercover work :)

I'm disappointed that the Awakened and Brutes have both been out of it completely these past two rounds :-( It made sense for the Sway not to come back, since they already won, but I thought they would trade out so those two would get a chance.
 
I've been a Seeker the whole time, and of course I love my team and don't want to leave it, but it's not nice that we've been in it both times while some people have been out both times.

Yeah, the Order has been a pretty strong team. Sway won't be as popular because the avatar's already been released, and I think a lot of those hunting will join the Order. As long as too many freeloaders don't join, I think we've got a good shot at this.
 
Besides, the Order are the ones who know not to let power go to their heads, and as a wise wizard once said, "Those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it."

I'm in exactly the same situation!
 
I'd like to suggest submitting a question to the NT editorial, asking why they don't (a) answer people's tickets, and (b ) stop lockouts happening in the first place! I've been doing it for the last couple of weeks.
 
If enough people do it they might possibly answer...
