    Do you prefer the Training Academy on Krawk Island, or the one on Mystery Island?

    I personally have a level 19 pet right now that i just started training a few days ago, and I was using Mystery Island, but i just did one on Krawk Island. Now sure which i prefer yet..

    You?

    its not really a matter of preference but convenience

    academy has much longer training times and only goes to level 40

    when codestones were more expensive and i was poressed for nps and in no rush id use the academy

    but now i train at myster island during the day and for an overnight when i wont be on to train anyways ill throw the pet in the academy for cheaper

    I use the Academy for the moment... but I've also used the codestone school a couple of times.
    However, I'm in no big hurry to train my pets :)

    prices are significantly better at the academy, I would have only used it until I got to level 40, except I was in a hurry to level up for my main pet. if you're not in a rush, academy is so much better non the wallet, but you can't beat the times at the training school

    Secret Lab Ray for me :p

    I gave up wasting points training when TNT gave up giving us wars...

    Now my stats are all off and weird :(

    But I used to prefer codestone training.. And occasionally I did negg training.

    I use the ray too, but to get certain boosts I feel it's necessary to speed the process up a little, because I just don't have the patience for that

    See, that's a good idea- using the Academy on KI overnight, and using the MI one during the day when Im on to "process" my pets faster.. I like that idea, i think i shall steal it.

    I train at the MI training academy. Admittedly, I do it rather half-heartedly: once per day at the most.

    Right now, I hate it. My BD pet is level 156 - so it takes 7 codestones and takes 18 hours for one training session. I've been using the armour neggs to move my defense up - but it's a pain taking so long.

    I much prefer MI as it's faster, but if you're low on NP then the academt is the way forward.

    I havent even thought of using neggs before.. Are they generally worth whta you pay for them or is it not worth buying them?

    Ough, since I'm a BD'er, I always used the Mystery Island one, it was just quicker and I had the dosh for it.
    Now... Ah the choices, my pet is over lvl 250 thus I'm training with red codestones and neggs, much more time-efficient than normal codestone training but wayyyy expensive.

    Neggs are not worth using unless you're very high statted already ;) Once you're at a certain level it works out about the same, sometimes cheaper depending on how lucky you are with some of the neggs tha using codestones. And of course, its instant so if you're short on time its great!

    And let's not forget Armoured Neggs. Amazing creation if you ask me... It makes training so much easier. You can get 1 def every 65 minutes on a Dying pet, so you can finally balance out the use of the Lab Ray.

    Personally I prefer Mystery Island; the time it saves justifies the extra cost (unless it asks you for multiple eo codestones, in which case tough luck)

    If you think about it rationally, choose mystery island. dubloons are too expensive nowadays

    Shrooms cause I a Baller! But I prefer Mystery Island/ Kitchen since it's cheaper and relatively quick.
