jmccbh Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hm... of course I need the defence boost as well. Currently a few points below strength and defence 20 boost, and I'm in the middle of training to 30 hp. Should I move to get the strength boost next, the defence boost next, or keep training hp?

Pirate Dante Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Get quickly that STR. STR should always be the first priority in such cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccbh Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Okay, thank you :) Strength shall now be my priority. And I have actually managed to get a few more brutes, so it might not be completely hopeless at this rate :P Edit: Ugh, I hate when they heal! I get so close, and then they're back up to 50 hp!

SyrenSkywolf Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm not even able to tie anymore :[ 3 more till 55 STR boost. I hope that will help. These guys are getting meaner, I swear they are. -Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sirius Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Haha, I know. I just tend to joke around. Hmm, what kind of a pet did you have? Or better yet, a link to your old accounts BD records? I was a huge fan of Shoyrus at that time, and my acct had obtained a free Lab Ray as well. (Free Lab Ray = Some accts in the old time got Lab Rays even though they never collected all of the pieces. Mine was one of the lucky ones.) I had a Shoyru, that was it, and I had four Tornado Rings in the acct, though I only used two. LKI: Level 202 Shoyru HP: 400 STR: 375 DEF: 380 MOV: 313 All trained. Ah, the olden days where you could win a One Dubloon Coin from playing Deckball. When there was a site that gave you the winning scratchcard positions. When Poogle Solitaire, Alpine Challenge (mastered by a friend of mine) were around. Yeah, I'm an oldie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadaw the Rampage Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 24th October 16:41 - Millions of spectres have been destroyed, but there seem to be many more waiting in the wings. Can Brightvale survive the onslaught before being trampled into nothingness? Can these news updates become any more melodramatic? Stay tuned and find out! ^ looks like there having fun with this one. Side note 4,043,512 monsters destroyed at the time of posting this. total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Heh, I'd be having fun if I were writing those updates. xD Although if I were TNT right now, I'd just say something along the lines of "THEY'RE SWARMING!!!" and switch the system from waves to constantly flooding the battledome with every available type of spectre. That would help out the people having a hard time finding the challengers they need. :yes: Naw, those that could affect to that wouldn't bother. They could instead sell one of their precious Krawk Trans Mogs or soething and get one. But what about a SuAP? :P SuAP it is! xD Perfect timing for an ALP snipe too I think, if that happened. It's not so much lack of enthusiasm as the fact that the foes have become much more difficult for everyone who's been fighting steadily. Fewer people can continue defeating them, and those who can are taking much longer to do it. It's now taking me as much as eight or nine turns to beat the Destroyers--they have around 4500 hit points now. Progress is mostly coming from those who are grinding away relatively slowly, from people hitting new boosts/getting new weapons, and from new people joining in. Those are sources that can run dry--people hit the wall on foes they can defeat, they run out of points for training and weapons, and there can't be that many who are interested in fighting who haven't already started. Point taken... I was kind of assuming we had a pretty much unlimited supply of Neopians hunting for plot points. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Dante Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 what about me? which stat do i increase? cuz my v-pots dont use my strength... Of course, you do not trainSTR, expect to keep it in line with other stats, and thus HP and DEF take the biggest priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairekundinger Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just finally got a minion wave!!!! I almost capped them! Whew.

Sin Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Does anyone have some advice for beating the Shadow Spectre Zealot? I'm trying to defeat just ONE of these darn things so I can get the deeds, but I've never been a battler and I've yet to find the right combo of weapons and tricks. My pet isn't very beefed up and my budget is pretty tight after upgrading weapons and healing with all the price inflation. I'm training my pet at Mystery Island for the faster turn over, but even that isn't fast enough -- I'm concerned that this step will finish before I've got enough raw power. Any suggestions for affordable general or opponent specific upgrades? My pet: level 31 strength 24 defense 23 HP 61 My equipment: Illusens Earth Potion Downsize Greater Healing Scroll Steaming Skeem Potion Makeshift Ships Hammer Green Frost Cannon Fighting Folder Patched Magic Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairekundinger Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Do you have the ability burrow?!?! Because I think that is the thing that really gets me through!!! I'm pretty sure its an Earth faerie blessing!!! It only to like 2 of them for me to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aastra Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This is getting to be a bit dull don't you think? The spectres' levels are too high now to fight and I can't beat zealots..... Next step pls! Oh ya Dante, when I grow up, I wanna be just like you! :wub_anim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.Lia Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well, we're inching closer to another tier... (And I can't beat zealots either! :( ) Let's hope the prize is valuable and useful! :D Sidenote: Wouldn't it be irritating if TNT stopped an "attack" when a tier reached 99%?

I'm pretty sure its an Earth faerie blessing!!! It only to like 2 of them for me to get it! I have burrow [which is great] and sink [which seems really ineffective against the zealots], but I was hoping someone might know of a good one-time-use item that I could use to get through one battle against a zealot.

Pirate Dante Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I know stuff that could help you, but with that STR bosst, I'm not 100% sure if it will be enough. And if it fails, you just lost a fortune. For your STR boost, I can only recommend this: Water Muffin x4 Downsize! Your strongest own weapon (Makeshift Hammer?) Thick smoke Bomb Scroll of Freezing Faerie Ability Burrow Faerie Ability Fiery Gaze/Diamond Dust Ok, then the fight. You start with D! + assumable Makeshift Hammer + Fiery Gaze (You have to Freeze the Zealot and stay alive) Then, you use Water Muffin + Scroll of Freezing + Fierce/Berzerk attack (If you have Berzerk, use it) Now that they are frozen again, use 2 Water Muffins with Fierce/Berzerk. At this point, it should have lost about 80 HP. (Not that it matters) Then use Thick smoke Bomb + Water Muffin + Fierce/Berzerk. Most likely Zealot dies. If it doesn't, use Makeshift Hammer + Burrow. This isn't a 100% trick, I think. :( If the Scroll of Freezing breaks, you just spent alot of NPs for that one win. If it doesn't you can sell it forward.

Hopefully the waves will cycle back around a couple more times so I have time to acquire these things. Also, thanks SO much for the actual in battle advice. Most of the guides/advice were just "train your pet up and buy ____" which wasn't especially helpful considering that TFR is my first battledome experience. [After nearly 5 years on the sitE! I should be ashamed. XD] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sirius Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 So basically, Dante, I could be getting more kills, but because I don't have a freezer I'm locked out of it? Set: Ylanas Blaster Golden Compass Blue Scorchstone Downsize! Mud Mixture x4 Abilities: Burrow Sink Drain Life Steam Shield Water Breathing Quench Restore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Dante Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well, you can get Snowglobe Staff, and withdraw until you get the freeze on turn one to force better battles. I do this on Destroyers now. I needed 10 more, and had to force good starts with Burrow. Too bad they ran out before I got enough of them. I just hope we get one more round before they go away.

Shadaw the Rampage Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Btw just a side note for anyone wondering "How do I get berserk attack?!". You get that when your pet is level 50 automatically. You don't have to do anything special to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sirius Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This is how I've been beating the harder enemies: vs. Conqueror M - Ylanas Blaster, Golden Compass, Drain Life C - Glowing Cauldron, Patched Magic Hat, Berserk Attack 62/68 133/193 M - Ylanas Blaster, Golden Compass, Kau Kick C - Sophies Wooden Spoon, Amulet of Lost Souls, Psychic Attack 41/68 101/193 M - Blue Scorchstone, Golden Compass, Sink C - Bubbling Cauldron OF DOOM, Amulet of Lost Souls, Psychic Attack 68/68 89/193 M - Ylanas Blaster, Golden Compass, Kau Kick C - Spirit Bottle, Glowing Cauldron, Jump and Attack 16/68 28/193 At this point, I don't think I can kill him if he heals, so I have to play this round defensively. M - Golden Compass, Downsize!, Restore (Med) C - Amulet of Lost Souls, Lesser Healing Scroll, Frost 23/68 42/193 Thought so. M - Ylanas Blaster, Golden Compass, Fierce Attack C - Pot of Darkness, Spirit Bottle, Aura 0/68 0/193 And yeah, that's how I'm doing it so far. Sometimes I might do Mud Mixture/Downsize! when the Conqueror is at single-digit HP. Any improvements you can suggest atm (I have way less NP than I last thought)?

savamal Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Wasn't on these forums for such a long time... And I missed a lot from the current plot (only joined in the late tier 15...

Aastra Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Started about a month ago, no one really knows when it'll end. If I am not wrong, The 2nd Maraquan plot was 21 chaps so it might be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
