Hi guys,

 

In searching the web for an calculator that could tell me how many more codestones I should hoard to reach my goals, I came across a few "league calculators" that generated some baffling numbers for my pet. (I'm not a fan of calculators that don't explain where the numbers come from.)

 

What's a league? Is it still relevant with the new battledome?

 

 

It's a way for BDers to evaluate differently trained pets to make 2 player battling a little more fair.

When pets are evenly trained across the board, it's pretty easy to see when pets are on the same footing, but when you have lab trained pets that are super low in defence, average in strength, and really high in health, it can be really hard to tell. So that's what the league calculators do. It's completely user made, rather than designed by TNT, and creates leagues to break up BDers into levels, the same way most sports have weight classes.

 

I've seen some petpages that have little icons you can put on your pets lookup stating what their league is, and when the BD chat or BD guilds start competitions, they generally use leagues. :)

I see... so instead of signing up for a team or something, I'd go to the boards and look for someone in my league to battle in 2P?

Basically! :) You can always try battling out of your league- if you're pretty close to the top of the league, you may want to challenge yourself a bit by battling someone in the league above or something, but it gives both parties a pretty equal chance at winning when you're in the same league. :)

Thanks! I have one more question, since I don't recall it being addressed when I read the Battlepedia (forever ago). Are there prizes awarded when battling other players? If so, do they contribute to the 1500np and 15 item limit on the 'dome?

Nope! Prizes and NP are only awarded for one player battling. Two player is just for fun. :)

Awesome! Thank you so much for clearing that up!
