Do you guys train your pets? Do you train your pet at the mystery island training school or save up money and get the lab? Is it better to get the lab and stop using at certain point. Then train your pet using neggs? So far I've been training my pet at the training school, but I'm not sure if it's worth keep training my pet this way. Or save up then just the buy the lab.
Alot of people use a combination of both mystery island and the lab ray, I personally just use the lab ray on my lab rat, and I train my main BD pet at the MITS because I want to get even stats.
If you are having trouble saving up for a lab map then long term training isn't gonna work for you, depends on what your goals are, if you want something liking 200-300 evens then labbing too much is not an option cause that sucker takes levels off you like np and negging is pretty expensive, i would rather try buy/trade for a decent bd pet, you ab a bit could get a pretty decent pet, I'm doing it the old fashion way myself but that's only because I've had the same solo pet forever so want to do it properly. If i just started like a month ago though I'd ab a bit and buy one. Oh and excluding my abers the Lab map is the best investment I've ever made on Neo without exceptions. If i could have multiple maps that would work on one account I would buy like 100.. so I strongly suggest you get the lab map,
I use Codestones that I have stored in my Iventory. Because like Shawn said, the lab ray could always decrease a stat :/
The Lab Ray in the longer term will increase Hp and strength, and decrease levels and defence. Currently I'm training at the Mystery Island, but I'm soon at the limit where it's more beneficial to train at the ninja training school, as opposed to using 7+ codestones.
You also don't want to use neggs until your pets are much much stronger. They won't be worth it. As of now, I've been using the lab and it seems to be okay. However, I may be an outlier so you could stick with the training school.
I buy lots of codestones, about 20 of each and put them all in my sdb, and run a gm trainer script works really well XD
I use the lab map, and then the training school to even out the stats. It's not a fast method, but pretty cheap, and safe. ;D
I personally stick with the Training school. It's faster than the swashbuckling academy. The lab ray will do weird things to your stats but if you have a lab rat pet then I'm sure you won't mind. But in the end if your gonna train a pet with even stats then go for the training school. Maybe use the swashbuckling academy once for the nifty avatar
