Yes an IDB rater is asking for training tips. I just reached the 250 str boost and I have to get to 350-400 for a balanced pet since my hp is really high..right now my lvl is 192.
The choices I think are good:
A) continue training str until 350+ str is reached, cost=18 hrs and 7 codestones
B)continue training str until lvl 250 is reached thorugh TTSC-this may take a while and once I reach lvl 201, it will cost 8 codestones and 24 hrs...TTSC takes about 3 weeks for 4 lvls= 58 lvls will take 1 year!:S all that time I will be able to train str to 350 and def to 300...then I can use ninja school
C) take 6 weeks and get 8 lvs from TTSC while training str-, then swithc training form str to lvls, takins about another 6 weeks, I can use the ninja training school
and finally
D) take 6 weeks and train with TTSc and lvls at school=58 lvls in 6 weeks, at approx 8 codestones per lvl. then use ninja red to train str/def to my desire's content

The new ninja cancelling allows D to become a very nice option...however the red codestones may inflate due to the balancing of demand...feel free to add your own choice.

How many pets do you have? If you only have 1 or 2 then kitchen quests seem like a good way to increase your pets stats while doing any of the options.

oh sorry, I assumed that since I was mainly a battler that I wuold only hvae one pet or else I woldn't consider TTSC, it would just be too frustrating scratching only 5 a day to find that it lvls up my non-battle pet every time...I'll consider doing k-quests too but then my hp will go up whihc is bad...unless I try ninja school...

for the ninja school, I was wondering after lvl 250, u see the school, will it dissappear if you go to lvl 249? or does the school stay forever once you reach lvl 250?

I am leaning towards option D since it seems the best financial choice.

I think option D looks like the faster and cheaper option unless your luck with which red codestones you get asked for is horrible. Even if you can't do a course each day due to the red codestone your asked for at least you can do some kitchen quests on those days with option D.

Since you have only 1 pet you may also want to consider labbing some...

Now since you can cancel the course, u can wait until for the cheapest codestone but the price may inflate due to this. So, having enough budget won't let you to make choices but decide.

I'm a budget battler/trainer myself. I'd say go with the most economic choice. Kitchen Quests are a nice way to increase random stats. If you want your intelligence to go up, for say a brightvale armor, then cliffhanger would be good for that, as well as being an on-site game increase your chances of getting a random faerie quest or perhaps even a random level/strength boost event. TTSCs can be a good way to level up too, especially if you only have 1 pet. TNT should really make it so that the rewards from KQs, TTSCs, and RFQs go to the pet that was active when the task is completed and the reward recieved. You may also play NQ2 for more chances at random events. Plus you get some np and can sell the prize at the end so there's some financial worth to it. Given your stats I would guess you've probably got stronger equipment than the NQ2 Evil prizes, so those would be pure profit then. I'm waiting to get my level lowered so I can finish training the 3 codestone range before heading into the 4th stone range. I've several faerie quests while playing NQ2.


I'm not strong enough for the Ninja school yet so I don't know if it locks you out if your level slides back below 250 or not. Shouldn't be too hard to regain that level if you lose it though. TTSC, Von Roo, etc.

Good luck with your training.

alright, my inexperience on the forum's is showing...
I know what KQ and RFQ is, but what is TTSC?

TTSC = Terror Trove Scratch Card

how useful are terror trove scratch cards for boosting stats?

They only give levels.To a random pet, but he has only one pet, so the level goes to that one.
