Time for my usual rant about how I need to upgrade!
So, stats are..

Species : Scorchio
Agility : 39 (GREAT (39))
Attack Strength : 125 (LEGENDARY (125))
Defence Strength : 86 (AMAZING (86))
Current hp: 106 / 106
Level : 61

Set is:
Honey Potion
Black Frost Cannon
Downsize!
Scarab Ring
Fungus Ray
Dusty Magic Broom
Golden Compass
Greater Healing Scroll

SDB:
Prickly Potion
Leaf Shield
Steaming Skeem Potion
PSH/Sinsis Helm cheap stuff.. lol

I play 1 player AND 2 player, although right now for 2 player i'm pretty pathetic!

My budget is around 100k, but lets say it's a million as I plan to have something near that by next week!
Think thats everything, other than what I was planning to do, which was replace the Compass with a Ramtors Spellbook and throw in a Sophies Magic Hat.

k do you lab?? if so stop. and even out and morph to get a better healer.. KLP etc.
Honey Potion--Best Bomb you can afford
Black Frost Cannon-- best freezer for your NP
Downsize!-- allways keep this
Scarab Ring---to Ramtors Spellbook
Fungus Ray-- an iffy item.. upgrade to a 13 iconer sooner or later
Dusty Magic Broom--HTF and really nice.. a major keep
Golden Compass--great for your buget- KEEP
Greater Healing Scroll--to a 50% healer or KLP sooner or later..

I do not like full shields.. youd rather use dule dutys in the long run
train STR and DEF to 200.. and HP to like 150+
so as you can see just get RSB and TRAIN!!

I don't lab and I'm not morphing either
Took me ages to get this Darigan scorchio and i won't turn it into a Kacheek or a chia!
Thing is, i don't really want to train anymore! I mean training is great for 1 player, but right now people in the 85 boost have better weapons than me, so i'd like to stay at the 125 and get some pretty new shiny weapons!
PS. I will eventually get defence upto 125, just in a while!

ok then do you want dule duty possible upgrades or just constants.. if dule duty sell GOC and get a MOC..(very expensive) for constants sell f-ray and get a 13 iconer.. BOD, or WOR.. expensive.. so I dont think any upgrades are for now just save some more.. once you have dule 13 iconers.. get a freezer.."H4K or F-pot" and save allot to get a better healer "Bag of healing Dust" 50% healer what ever species.. but that is a couple mill also

o you could buy a Hobans Hat now??

future set:--

Downsize!
Freezing Potion
Wand Of Reality
Wand Of Reality
Mask Of Coltzan
Dusty Magic Broom
Honey Potion
Bag of healing dust

As great as that set sounds, keep in mind i do not have lots of np! Not very fast as making it either, on a good day you're only looking at around 100k.
As for hobans hat, i'm not sure on the price for that, they seem to be rare, I think it's too pricey for my range!

On a side note, i've managed to get the snow beast, if there any chance at all that I could scrape a win out of him? Pfft does like 67 damage from 7 icons!

I would suggest against that. Sophies Magic Hat is not worth it at its current price. Granted, it will give you heap loads of defence. But a Golden Compass and Scarab Ring combo can give you almost the same defence (except the earth) PLUS 15 icons worth of attack for far less. Trading off your Golden Compass for a Ramtors Spellbook and the Hat will give only give you only 10 icons in attack, which, by the way is made up of 2 of the most common icons to be blocked in 2 player.

In fact, you shouldn't be too worried about fire. Your pet is a scorchio ie they are RESISTANT to fire. What you should be worried instead is water; your pet is weak against those, so that Leaf Shield should be THE shield in your set, not Sophies Magic Hat.

Black Frost Cannon isn't gonna cut it for 2-player. So request for no freeze battle if possible. Instead of the freezer, think about getting yourself one of the many nine iconers that can help supplement one of the icon types in your current set, at least for now. Your strongest icons right now is water (from your Fungus Ray), so look into possibly adding either a Pike Pike or Essence of Esophagor.

Suggested set:

Honey Potion
Downsize!
Fungus Ray
Dusty Magic Broom
Golden Compass
Greater Healing Scroll
Leaf Shield
Pike Pike or Essence of Esophagor

You could always save up, train for a TANK, and use Bracelet of Kings.

But anyways, since you 2p as well, just send requests for no-freeze. You have to have a 100% freezer to cut it.
What I find most important is the constant icons. Unless your opponent has full blockers, you can always get past their shields by overloading on icons.

Eg, Lenny Chatter + Wand of Reality = 8 light, 8 wind, 3 physical. Will get past typical shield of 3-5 icons.

First off, i'd like to thank you all for your suggestions! It's always nice having a bit of diversity.

As for the black frost cannon, consider it 1 player only now! lol
Ok, so a cheap 9 iconer for now, ideally i'd like an icy battle duck in there, but they are far too rare!

mathbits, i'll keep BoK in mind, i had one before and regardless of what everyone else says it was brilliant, lol

Right decided to just bump this up instead of creating a new one!
I'll tell you what i've tried, I tried Pike Pike, and it was actually really good but i'm not sure 9 icons cut it anymore
I tried BoK, and I was horrified what have they done to it! It used to be so good!
So now I have a slightly different set!

Honey Potion
Downsize!
Scarab Ring
Dusty Magic Broom
Golden Compass
Greater Healing Scroll
Pike Pike (Sometimes in 2 player I use Steaming Skeem Potion Instead
Bow Of Destiny

I still have all the other weapons I had before apart from fungus ray, I could buy that back or play around with the cash.

I have just over 2.3M, realistically any weapon to be suggested should preferably be under 4M, I was thinking either Mask Of Coltzan or Bzzt Blaster. Although I do not have the 125 boost I would probably get anyway regardless of the MoC.
Another thing with my set is I lack any effeciency to get through burrow!

Well I'm all ears now!

Id say add a black frost cannon, Ramtors Spell Book, and The MOC sounds great combo with DMB.. so switch out scarab ring pike for RSB and MOC
bzzt sounds nice but with more saving you could miswell get another 13 iconer

You know I actually thought about Ramtors Spellbook it would give me 10 icons through burrow and with DMB + BoD I could get 18 through sink. However the tiny situation that I should fear would be if somebody had the Mask Of Coltzan that I need another million for.
That combined with DMB/AFC would completely kill my weapons!
I've already got the Black Frost Cannon, hiding away in my sdb along with the likes of Steaming Skeem Potion, hopefully if i find my restocking form i should be looking for the MoC soonish, unless there is anybody disagrees with this?
