invigoration

Thanks aquamentis for the extremely informative post! I got myself a Downsize! and half damage is really useful with a scarab ring. Nice for finishing opponents off without taking too much damage on the last turn.
 
and thanks Sara, I think I would really attempt Donny soon. I got myself some red codestones and it really pays!
 
Gosh you guys would qualify for a PhD in neopets.

I may take bank bribery if I have tens of millions of NPs. Maybe that would happen in the future!
 
Trudy's is an amazing source of money now that Habitarium is gone :'(
 
I'm still short of that multi million restock so that boon wouldn't do great for me as of now. I'm earning like a modest 1000 from each item I buy and up til now my biggest profit is 50k since my account is too young for high rarity items. I came from the era where people get rich using RS, but now I realise that there is less competition when restocking, so good news for me!
 
And yes aquamentis! I am from the 90s and I totally know which song you're referring to!

You're welcome invigoration. LOL It's what I'm here for. XD
You might also just browse through the weapons in the battlepedia. I sometimes do that. Just look at whatever piece of equipment catches my eye. But also, in the articles section, there are some very good articles for beginners.
Here is a link to "All Helpful Battle Articles" which can be found under that exact heading in the BP.

Melida's journey is a good one which kind of goes through the process of starting out in the BD. Basic Weapon Sets article has a good guideline on popular weapons that are powerful for the price. The prices get updated now and then. You could find a lot of interesting help there. But they are just GUIDElines. There are plenty of interesting weapons, but some of the best and most commonly used are listed there. ;)
Battledome Strength and Defence Boosts are the same here as in the old BD, but if you need to know how much more training a stat needs to reach the next boost multiplier, that article is short and just perfect for finding out. ;)
 
One last link on the Obelisk War challengers that are fought during the Skirmish battles I mentioned earlier. We have a guide for them too!

If you wish to take part in the Skirmishes, it should prove useful, as your stats are higher than some of the minimums indicated in the guide.
