Hi, this is the BD set I'm currently working towards:

Ramtors Spellbook
Frozen Wand Of Crystals
Heavy Robe of Thievery
Honey Potion
Greater Healing Scroll
Patched Magic Hat
Downsize!
Snowglobe Staff

I almost have everything now, so would like some advice, suggestions as to what I should change / upgrade to? I would like to keep the magic theme though, so would prefer things like potions, scrolls, wands etc...

Any help much appriciated!

Edit: Oh, my pets stats are really low at the moment, as I have just started battling really. But I am training hard...
My first piece of advice (without knowing anything else about your pet/battling style/1p/2p) is to get a third offensive weapon to interchange with your other weapons to avoid shields. If you only have two, you greatly increase your chance of being blocked. Id recommend another ramtors spellbook or Cloudy wand of storms (earth or more common than water) to put in place of say your heavy robe of thievery or patched magic hat or snowglobe staff.

If your training hard, only other thing i could ask is- 1p or 2p?
Thanks for the advice rylix. I'm 1p. I have a Kougra with really low stats, but as I say, I'm working hard on getting them up.
Mind posting:

1. Your current stats (your "really low" may not be that low in my point of view)
2. Budget
3. Income
4. Methods of training (eg lab, Mystery Island Training School)
Sure

Level: 30
Strength: EXCELLENT (47)
Defence: EXCELLENT (45)
Move: GREAT (37)
Intelligence: ULTIMATE GENIUS (210)

My income is 60k+ a day. Budget isn't an issue, as I'm saving for the Adam avie, and want to go on a spending spree when I'm done. I also don't mind saving for items. I'm training at Mystery Island. Working on getting all my stats to at least 200...
Wow, then you can afford a lot better weapons. But since you do 1-player, I'm not sure that the Heavy Robe of Thievery will be as good, since you cannot always steal useful weapons from your opponent. Hm... Adam has 11 million, so you'd probably get that amount to spend.

I'd probably go with a 100% freezer first, and Freezing Potion will be worth it right now since it's going for approximately the same as H4000 Helmet, but does an extra Water*water* compared to the H4000 Helmet. Plus, it's a potion.

That leaves about 5 million to spend. I'd go for a Wand of Reality to replace the Frozen Wand of Crystals since it does less damage than the Ramtors Spellbook and you don't have quite enough money for good dual-duties that is somewhat connected to magic.

Going down to 2 million, you might want a Mystical White Cloak to alternate with your Patched Magic Hat depending on the 1-player opponent. That leaves a little less than 2 million which can get you a Kacheek Morphing Potion to morph your pet into a Kacheek, and then you can get a Kacheek Life Potion as your healer, if health is included in the stat that you're training to 200. Your new set:

Heavy Robe of Thievery
Downsize!
Mystical White Cloak OR Patched Magic Hat
Kacheek Life Potion
Freezing Potion
Honey Potion
Ramtors Spellbook
Wand of Reality

There, everything in your set is somewhat related to magic, apart from Heavy Robe of Thievery and Downsize!. Mystical, Magic, Potion, Potion, Potion, Spellbook and Wand should all have something to do with magic I guess.
Thanks WiltChamberlain13 that's really good advice!! I'm definately gonna go for the freezing potion and wand of reality! I'm gonna stick with Downsize! as it's a bit like a spell... lol.

I don't really want to change species though, as he is a Kougra for sentimental reasons... Any other good healers?

Oh and I will be training Health to 200, along with agility so I can use the Heavy robe of Theivery, as I love stealing items... :-)
Yes, but you'll probably have to jump to Bag of Healing Dust, which is about 9 million Neopoints.  I'm not sure about the other healers, as my brain is a bit blocked since it's late, but I'm sure other people around can help you.

EDIT: AH YES OF COURSE! The Crisp Blue Tunic and Short Sleeved Yellow Tunic aren't bad choices.
That's fantastic thanks! I'll save a little harder and consider one of those choices, thanks
They have barely anything to do with magic though... You might want to reconsider that.
True... I could get away with Bag of Healing Dust, I do like the Crisp Blue Tunic though. I will give it a lot of thought, thanks.
