    If you are interested in training a pet, and dont know how to start like me.. theres a way to go.

    Your pet has six stats that change as you play the game: Level, hit points (endurance), strength, defense, movement (agility), and intelligence. I'm only going to focus on the first four here because any weapons that are affected by the last two are very expensive and apart from that both stats are useless in the battledome.

    First Things First
    The battledome isn't all about weapons. Training and faerie abilities also make a big difference in the battledome.

    Training
    Your pet has six stats that change as you play the game: Level, hit points (endurance), strength, defense, movement (agility), and intelligence. I'm only going to focus on the first four here because any weapons that are affected by the last two are very expensive and apart from that both stats are useless in the battledome.

    There are lots of ways to train your pet but the most reliable are the two training schools: The Academy on Krawk Island and The Training School on Mystery Island. Start with the Academy and keep going there until your cost in dubloons is more than it would cost with codestones or you reach level 40, whichever comes first. Remember you can only train abilities to 2x your level so be careful to train evenly of you'll get stuck and have to spend a lot of time on one stat later. I do recommend training all stats evenly at first and then training hit points as high as possible once you're happy with your strength and defense.

    These next methods are random so if you have more than one pet there is no guarantee that the stat will land on the right one. You can get random stat increases from Coltzan's Shrine so make sure to visit once a day. Kitchen Quests can also be rewarded with random stat boosts but make sure not to spend more on the quest than you would training. Terror Trove Scratchcards sometimes boost your pet a level if you win. Finally, if you're lucky, one of the faeries will give you a quest and reward you with a stat boost.

    You can also train with the lab ray but that is expensive, random, and can take away stats as well as change your pets' color, gender, and species. Some neggs also give stat boosts but they are generally very expensive.

    Now that you know how to train it's time to understand just how it works. A bigger number doesn't necessarily mean your pet will do more damage or defend itself better. Increasing levels is good for faerie abilities (as you'll learn below), getting the Berserk attack ability at level 50, and to continue training other stats. Strength and defense both increase in boosts, which means you have to hit a certain number before you can start doing more damage. Below is a list of when you get each boost and its damage/defense multiplier.

    0 - 0.5
    8 - 0.75
    13 - 1.0
    20 - 1.25
    35 - 1.5
    55 - 2.0
    85 - 2.5
    125 - 3.0
    200 - 4.5
    250 - 5.5
    300 - 6.5
    350 - 7.5
    400 - 8.5
    450 - 9.75
    500 - 11.0
    550 - 12.0
    600 - 13.0
    650 - 14.0
    700 - 15.0

    What this means is that once you hit 35 strength points you are doing 1.5 icons of damage for each icon a weapon can do. The same goes for defense. That means you can do 9 icons of damage with a six icon weapon, and so on.

    Abilities
    Get Sink, Burrow, and Drain Life the moment your pet hits the proper level.

    I find it a whole lot easier to train a pet when its the only one on my account, for reasons being that if I get a quest, im guaranteed for the stat upgrade to go to the pet I want trained. Also comes in handy when doing KQ's. This is basically what you need to know in order to begin training your pet.


    I did NOT make this, simply posted it here to help. I found the Acronyms on ninjaekaj's petpage, and the BD guide on Doughnut_Don's page.

    I looked for a guide like this with a list of BD item acronyms and could not find one, so if one does in fact exist, I'm sorry for writing this.
    I really hope this helps or answers any questions you may have about the Battledome. This guide is missing some stuff, I will probably update it soon. +rep if it helps!
    Thanks! :)

    To add to your guide I recommend you train at the academy getting

    - To level 10 and STOP! Then start working on your HP,STR, and DEF until they are all maxed which should be 20 each.
    Train your level after they are max
    - To level 20 and STOP! Then start working on your HP,STR, and DEF until they are all maxed which should be 40 each.

    From there head on to the training school and go in the same pattern just stopping at 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, and 250
    The only risk is if you use other methods of training while your at those peak levels you will be wasting more money training unless you can go down a level which can be done with the lab ray or Count von Roo's Deadly Dice when you lose to him.
