ok, i finally reached my 1.1mil for my lab map, but someone offered me a REALLY Good BD pet for an 850k Custom. Which one should I do? BTW, here are the stats: Hit Points: 345 / 325 Strength: LEGENDARY (116) Defence: beyond godly Movement: AMAZING (96) Intelligence: very clever plus it will come with a zapped Blue Krawk. (I wish it wasnt zapped though =o)
I would get the lab, but I'm not that into BDing. Plus, it would cost a fortune to get a decent BD set.
Go for the lab, with the lab, you could make that pet in a matter of months. A fair few months though, when the lab also changes colour, species etc. Its a good price for 850k custom, but only do it if your planning on becoming a BDer and spending enough np to bring its levels up enough to train it, or buy the lab later to train it that way. Either way, your paying.
Personally I would go with the lab... Mega is right, with the lab, you could get your stats up in a couple of months, with the added excitement of colour/species changes thrown in.
I think moejoecookie makes a good point, to get a BD set to fully take advantage of the stats of the pet, you would most likely have to spend a few hundred million NP. I would get the lab map and while you are zapping your pet, save up for the set you want.
It'll take a long time to get those stats. Years even. Because if you want to get 325 HP for a starter pet, it's going to take a LONG time. The pet on offer has 325 hit points. Let's say your starter pet has 10. Assuming you get +5 HP every day, that's going to take 63 days. Since it only happens 13.4% of the time, (from IDB), that results to 470 days (over a year of zapping). That's assuming you get +5 every time you gain HP. But since it varies from +1 to +5, it could take a long time. And that's assuming you don't get HP taken away, which, while rare, does happen. So personally, I'd get the pet first. You could use that pet to gain higher DoN trophies then you would with a starter pet. Also, if any neopet plots turn up (which you can bet they will), many involve fighting in the battledome, which your custom neopet could earn you a lot more points with, resulting in more points to buy prizes with which results in more neopoints when you sell them. And in the mean time, you can just save up for a Lab Ray map, because I'd say that it takes a lot less than a year to earn 1.1 million. And once you have that, you can start labbing your custom neopet to make his stats even greater.
Personally I would get the pet, as that is hella cheap for such a good BD'er even if you will have to equip it yourself. As others have pointed out it would take months of solid training to get those stats whereas you should be able to make back the lab money in a few weeks. Just my opinion though, im often wrong
I think it's better to get the pet first, lab rays are way too random if u want to zap ur pet to a stats like the pet u're offered, depending on what u actually do on neopets, earning 1 million neopoints isn't too difficult i think
if the acct is legit, i would stay legit and get the lab map. if its unlegit, definitely go for the pet.
yeah, but he said he went for the pet already. owell, that's your decision. hope you win many battles with it! was it painted?
oh, missed that post . I guess you can just save up for the lab then :3 a BD pet is a good thing too =D
Yeah I guess in the long run the lab map will benefit you more. Btw does anyone really know why they inflated? Yeah you can obviously know I haven't been on neo for awhile >< I quit when they were still round 580k a set.
MooForYou; I dont know why either, I've been away for a long time too. They were like 200k a set when I quit and a baby pb was also 200k each. I guess everything just inflated.. Don't think there is an actual reasonXD
