I need some help with my weapon set. This is my current set:

Downsize!
Leaf Shield
Scuzzys Comb
Green Scorchstone
Ramtors Spellbook
Honey Potion
Ring of the Lost

I still have one slot free. I was thinking about a stone or ice club, but I'm not sure. Any tips?

I can't afford anything too expensive now (my budget 100 to 200k)

Thanks!

What is your pet's stats and species? I would suggest getting a greater healing scroll instead of GSS, assuming you have 55+ hp. Also I'd sell either the SC or RSB and pick up a golden compass (if you have def). The RoTL+RSB do enough light icons IMO, so some variety would make sense.

Information about your pet that could help us:

- pet stats (health, strength and defence)
- whether you lab your pet or not.
- do you fight 1-player or 2-player?

Oh sorry, I forgot

I have two battlepets. One is a labrat, but has a great amount of hp.

Peophin (for now)
Level : 28
Hit Points : 314
Strength : (107)
Defence : (27)
Movement : (81)

The other one I'm currently training.

Uni
Level : 43
Hit Points : 85
Strength : 85
Defence : 85
Movement : 71

I was thinking about getting a better healer, but I thought the Greater healing scroll was breakable?

You do have a point about the light icons. It would be best to swap Scuzzys comb for a golden compass. What weapons should I get for my last slot then?

Oh, and I only do 1p (wars and DoN)

Well first of all, you should consider labbing your uni once in a while for the hp...as for the GHS, it is NOT breakable, and even if it is, it doesn't break

For an additional weapon, I suggest one of those new 9-11 iconers which work well with your set...if you are using your labrat, then a Pseilla (sp?) fan might work well or a hoban's hat.

EDIT-ok maybe not those, since they both do light but ice club and golden compass are good...

I didn't know it wasn't breakable, I could have sworn I heared it was 0_o

I would really love to buy a hobans hat, but that's way too expensive! What do you guys think about the 50% reflectors for my last slot? They're all cheap and you can rotate them depending on wich oponnent your fighting.

If you play 1p then definitely fill your last spot with a proper reflector or a cheap dual duty if there is no suitable reflector. I would suggest air reflector since those are the hardest to block but it depends on who you are fighting.

I guess hoban's hat is a bit expensive, but I am pretty sure GHS used to be breakable and is now non-breakable...even idb says so!

I think I'll buy all the 50% reflectors, they're dirt cheap anyway.

I looked up the prices on the trading board and if I sell my scuzzys comb I could buy a Psellias Fighting Fan AND a golden compass. Or is it better to go for defensive weapons?

Depends if you battle 1p or 2p and also I'd go for ice club+ golden compass since that does harder to block icons...

I only play 1p. (Wars and DoN)

I heared there'll be a Haunted woods plot next so I'd like to stock up incase it's a war ^_^

Just another question. For 1p battle, wich of my pets is the best battle pet? I remember that with the last war we had to pick one pet as our battle pet and I'm not sure wich one of my pets is best. My uni is more leveled, but my lab pet has way more HP.

Choosing which pet is a tough one. It boils down to strategy.

I like a defensive strategy, so personally, I would go with the uni because the higher defense boost level makes your shield and dual duties a little more effective. In fact, the uni has a two to one advantage there. It will do the same damage as your lab pet. Since 1-player opponents increase in difficulty as you defeat them, I think the uni would stand a better chance of eeking out the tougher victories as long as you cleverly use shields and dual duties.

If I were to use the lab pet, I'd want to focus on attack. Get it to the 125 strength boost and use high icon, pure offense weapons instead of shields and dual duties. This strategy must rely on Downsize!, faerie abilities, and the reflectors for any defense because of your lab pet's low defense.
