It's spelled "neither." I before E doesn't just after C.
It's spelt "neither". "I" before "E" except after "C". =P
I love English.....Waiting

Intelegence seems to be fast to train and not applicable at this time, so I guess I won't worry about it.
Since you love it so much, it's spelt "intelligence".

This is ridiculous. Who cares about one or two spelling errors? I'm pretty sure in both cases that is pointed out, it was an honest mistake from human error. And really, spelling lessons is not something Dead_water needs right now. Weapon advice is. So that remark he made is newsflash to everyone here to lighten up with the spelling already. Sheesh...
If you actually read, Dead_Water misspelt "intelligence" in the first post as well. The spelling thing is just for fun and for his own good.

I would not worry about training movement right now. Concentrate on the 85 boosts first, and then get new weapons before training movement, or even considering it.

While I largely agree with that, he's going to break Level 40 before hitting the 85 Boosts. Now, granted, he's fair distance from that, so he should have plenty of time to decide whether he cares about speed enough, but that barrier's going to add to the costs.

Another consideration: training some speed now is an option, if only for the sake of getting it off the ground.
Quote:It's spelled a certain way. Spelt is a reference to some type of grain.

"Spelt" is actually synonymous for "spelled' and a type of wheat.

Yes, I ACTUALLY read his first post. I don't just jump into an advice without reading first. I just don't think it's such a big deal to actually correct it. Shattered corrected the spelling for "neither" because the original poster asked about it. You had to drag it beyond that by correcting someone who don't need it.

And there is nothing "fun" at all about the way you imply it through what you wrote. You reacted as if someone has stepped on your toes when noone did. So I advice you to just chill.

I agree. It is seriously now or never. It's nice to gain some momentum first, and before you know it, you should be reaching the desired stat soon. Kitchen Quest ought to help you out as well, along with other random faerie quest you might encounter, so you could actually spend less than you think!
The way you read it is totally different from the way I intend it to be then. Not my fault.
Correcting someone's spelling when he asks about it is fine. Correcting someone's spelling when he hasn't asked about it almost always makes the corrector look like a jerk, whether or not that's the intention. I should know; I sometimes nitpick people's posts when I don't like them very much and am feeling particularly mean that day. Wink

Dead_water, I'm with (almost) everyone else: train. In addition to the time factor, there's the price factor -- codestone prices keep going up and up, and will shoot up even more if TNT announces another big plot. This time, between plots, is the best time to train.
Ok then, that settles it. I've totally decided I'm gunna train. I think I'll get the lab too. Do you think the lab only will catch my movement up to my other stats? Or will I have dubloon train all or most of my movement?

Also, I spell awful. I usually use abbreviations every chance I can get. I didn't take anything personally, lol Smile

So the only question I have now is lab only training for movement sufficient or will I have to use dubloons? Oh, and at what point does terror trove scratchcards become the same price or cheaper than dubloon/codestone training for level?
Lab training has a tendency to add or take away stats from ALL your stats, so it's never a guarantee. You can both lab AND train with dubloons. That would be your best option.

Good luck!
I find that the lab actually gives out a lot of health, strength and movement to me, but occasionally takes away my level and defence. If you really want movement now, the lab should be able to help you a bit with it.

In regards to the Lab: I posted my Lab results for the past two months (and one week). I've only gained 11 Speed (5 a month, presumably, though I think I gained two or three today). How close this is to the actual is up in the air, but odds are you're going to need to train a bit if you want it now.

My Terror Trove results for the past two months have been as follows: 5K: 12 | 10K: 20 | LV: 12 | PL: 23 | SB: 9 | X: 224

Again, how close they are to the actual is up in the air. (Prod TOSO or someone else that can properly work the margin of error formula to come along and check them.) Assuming 800 per Terror Trove, and since I've scratched 300, I've spent 240K. I've earned back 260K off of the cash profits alone, plus twelve Levels. At 51K per Level for me, that's really darn good. In general, that means the Levels should cost a very, very minimal amount, and that there's no reason you shouldn't be Terror Troving.
