Leagues are sets of battledome stats that most 2P battlers fight in. This is to ensure that your opponent's stats doesn't greatly own yours, fairer fights with regards to stats. Read more here: http://www.neopets.com/~leaguecalc Off-topic: I've updated the links in the first post.
Bumping this post.. So I was rereading this post yesterday neopets-guides-f22/easy-training-and-step-by-step-battledome-guide-t37119.html (training guide). Where it says that you max your str at 700... My doubt is: Is it worth trainig str over 700? Or my pet will always make the same damage? If not, why do some pets, like featheralley (do not know how it is correctly spelled) have stats highly trained?
At 700 you reach the highest boost level. The boost level determines the damage multiplier. To my knowledge, strength/defense above 700 will not increase damage
Some items require intelligence and/or agility boosts to work properly, such as the Heavy Robe of Thievery: http://battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com/ ... ewweap/689 Strength does not increase damage past the 700 boost. As for training, not sure when that is but it becomes more efficient to use neggs to increase hp, and stop training levels. Kitchen quests also increase hp as a random reward. What's your aim with training? Do you intend to compete against others?
I think a 700 boost is overkill to max out for plots. My stats are around 300ish and I managed to max out in the last plot. I had a decent set though.
hey shawn.. Currently I have the following set sword of skarsden gk bomb Fta hanso charm Purple Scorchstone AH4000 helm Any advice of how to improve it, as there were many new items released at ht. My BD pet is a Lupe
Well, obviously, I'm not Shawn... so Shawn might come in later and totally 1-up me, but from what I see, yours is a solid middle-of-the-run set. You can do fairly well in 1-p battles, but if you want to dip into the 2-p pool, the options are far more expansive. Of course, you can always go for the most damage, most expensive, most powerful weapons, but that's mainly a status symbol. For casual battlers, I think it's useful to have about two sets of weapons so you can rotate depending on your mood, and what weapons your opponent has. In 2-p battles, always pay attention to the icon type, not just the total icons dealt (i.e. a 9-icon of any single type might actually deal more damage than a 13-icon of mixed types). Also important is how much you're willing to spend per weapon/set. You can get a pretty decent set for around 100mil, or you can go crazy.... Here's some upgrade options for what you currently have, so you can upgrade them one at a time: - SoS: This is very common in 2-p battling, so it's very easy to block. For alternatives, try Glittery Faerie Dust, Sword of Ari, Sword of Tawre, Sword of Thare, Sword of Thigl, or Sword of Reif (same number of icon damage, but different sets of icons--dark is easy to block compared to some of the others). Upgrades: Sword of White Lies, Ghostkersword, Pirate Captains Cutlass, Skarls Sword... the sky's the limit (and perhaps your budget, too). - G-bomb: Well, there isn't one, really. Nothing under 100mil anyway: Attack Pea, Super Attack Pea, and Seasonal Attack Pea are all dream weapons. - FTA: I don't know what this stands for... -_- - Hanso Charm: See SoS. This is such a weak weapon... also a plot prize, so it's all over the battledome. Basically, almost any upgrade is a good upgrade. - Purple Scorchstone: Leaded Elemental Vial is the most sensible upgrade. Jade Scorchstone also does a full heal, but for a much more steep price. If you can't afford a full healer yet, try a 50% one. - H-4000 Helmet: No use in upgrading. Of course, there's the famed Moehog Skull, but really, spend your money elsewhere. You definitely need at least 2 defense weapons. Ghostkershield is a good start. Beyond this, it requires spending some time in the battledome itself and finding out which weapons are the most common among your opponents. Basically, you want to find a shield that will block most, if not all, of their damage.
Hi, I have no idea if this is a 1p or 2p set, so I will advice you on both. For 1p, you will need something to freeze and steal. For a stealer, you could use a basic purple sticky hand since you can always restart battles if you fail to steal anything. Next, you could use any frost cannon for a freezer, selling the H4K and freeing money for others.. An alternative would be a random ray of freezing. You will have one more slot, you can get a KBT. Infact, you can sell your current SoS for a KBT to have dual KBTs. For 2p, ditch the SoS and get a Sword of Thilg or Reif. You might not need a freezer so you could sell the H4K. With the extra cash, you might want to buy the Hubrid Nox Shield.
I disagree with your view about stealer vs. freezer. As I see it, a stealer is almost useless in 1p battle, as most opponents have useless "weapons" that don't do anything in their first three positions. Given that it takes 1 turn, that's essentially a turn wasted when a 100% freezer would guarantee maximum damage for the next turn. An H4K (or any other 100% freezer) is indispensable in a good weapon set. Timed correctly, it could mean the difference between winning vs. losing. Sure, you can always withdraw in 1p battles, but that's only good if you battle for the stats and not if you're trying to gain battledome experience. Having freezers that only freeze 5-25% is almost useless, and freezers that break are annoying after a while. He could sell the H4K now to make room for other weapons, but he'll eventually want to buy it back, so why go through all that trouble?
That is true I was giving advice with the assumption that he had a limited budget. Of course a H4K would be better than a frost cannon/RRoF. As for stealers, I do think they are still useful as some 1p opponents carry notable first items.
