I am primarily a 1 player battler. And daily income around 20k np. I have a Brain Tree Mace, Lost Desert Dagger, Tooth of Terask, Hand Painted Scarab, Bronze Scorchstone, Virtupets X-514 Super Shield, Downsize!, various other low icon weapons and lots of snowballs stockpiled in my SDB. In my gallery I also have Sturdy Iron Lupe Boots, Iron Lupe Helm, Iron Lupe Collar, Golden Lupe Tooth Blade, Lupe Battle Claw, Lupe Reflector Shield, Lupe Wand, and Ancient Lupe Wand.

Yes, I made the mistake of labbing her (got greedy for stats increase) (I have stopped now) and I know I have quite a bit of work to do to even everything back out. I was using Dubloons to train, but at this time, Codestones are the cheaper option. After using the great information on this site, I made wise choices in saving up for the Halo, Comb & Potion. My budget is still in the recovery stage form those purchases, so I guess my question is what item (replacement to the above) should I be saving up for now?

Thanks in advance

For 1p, I liked the idea of selling the HoD fora winged scarab. the physical all-block can be very helpful in 1p. After that I would save up for a 11 iconer, something like GEB-garoo elite blaster which costs abotu 1.1 mil. You might also want to keep a purple sticky hand in SDB so that you can steal from 1p when needed.

You're under the 55 boost i know that you have to pay a lot to even your stats but i think is your best bet to improve your damage.

My only opinion for now is:

PUT THE DOWNSIZE! BACK INTO YOUR SET!

Your current set:

Scarab Ring
Greater Healing Scroll
Stone Club
Snowglobe Staff
Patched Magic Hat / Leaf Shield
Halo of Devilpuss
Scuzzys Comb
Honey Potion

First of all, you have a lot of weapons in your SDB that you don't even need. Things like Brain Tree Mace and the species weapons are going to lose value in the long run, because they're rapidly being outclassed by weapons like Golden Compass and your Stone Club. So sell those.

I think your first priority should be to raise your attack AND DEFENSE to 125. I assume you're on the way to doing that anyway, but don't forget about defense. Weapons like Scarab Ring and Leaf Shield are useless without it. Stop labbing until you get there, because it will be harder and harder to train, especially if you hit 160 HP.

As far as weapons go, here are the suggestions I would make:

Dual-duty: Golden Compass
Healer: Greater Healing Scroll
Main Attack 1: Garoo Elite Blaster, Goo Blaster, or Sword of Apocalypse
Main Attack 2: Scuzzy's Comb
Freezer: Black Frost Cannon
Bomb: Honey Potion
Shield: Downsize! or Leaf Shield when you get your defense up
Stealer: Purple Sticky Hand

The Golden Compass is an excellent weapon when you get higher defense. Greater Healing Scroll is also a staple of mid-level battling; you really can't go without it unless you move on to species healers.

The third slot, your main attacker, is where you have the most choice. The Garoo Elite Blaster is actually going for about 1.7 mil, so Goo Blaster would be a cheaper option. The only problem is, it's fully blocked by Leaf Shield. That won't give you much trouble in 1-player, but it's something to consider in 2p. Sword of Apocalypse is probably your best bet at 1.3 mil, but it's a little more random.

As far as freezers go, Black Frost Cannon is the best performer until you can afford a 100% freezer. Snowglobe Staff can break, so I don't like it very much. Rainbow Frost Cannon has a lower percentage, for about the same price, so you should just go directly to Black.

Until you get your defense equal to your strength, you need to be using a Downsize! You might even find that you like it better than your stealer, so you can use both. A Leaf Shield is more effective at lower levels, but only with high enough defense. And Purple Sticky Hand is so cheap for what it does, there's really no reason not to get it, even if you don't use it. However, if you don't plan no using it, don't leave it in your set to take up space.

Well, there you go. Hope that helps, and welcome to IDB!
