Hello guys,I've been a pretty regular visitor here,however this has diminished since I quitted.It has been 2 years since I came back.
Because of the long period that I wasn't here,I'm not sure about the recent developments in the weapons and healing stuff.
Here are my stats-
Species: Tuskaninny
Level: 20
Health: 62 / 108
Strength: AMAZING (80)
Defence: semi-demi-godly
Move: GREAT (34)
Intelligence: above average

Weapon set-
Caustic Potion
Illusens Earth Potion
Scarab Ring
Obsidian Dagger
Mud Mixture
Downsize!
Earth Faerie Slingshot
Greater Healing Scroll

I'm not sure,could anyone suggest any improvements?
I have about 200k.
P.S.I'm not rich,got scammed some time ago.

Train that to the 85 boost, it's a 25% increase in overall effectiveness for relatively few NP.

Quote:Caustic Potion

Only useful for the healing, which is too small to matter at your stats. DITCH

Quote:Illusens Earth Potion

This is obsolete now. DITCH

Quote:Scarab Ring

Awesome starter weapon. IF you train defense, which you haven't done. DITCH

Quote:Obsidian Dagger

Not great, but worth its low end price. We can probably find an upgrade though.

Quote:Mud Mixture

Again, the healing is pointless at your stats, DITCH

Quote:Downsize!

KEEEP!

Quote:Earth Faerie Slingshot

Still very solid

Quote:Greater Healing Scroll

Likely still your best healing option.

Well I've left you with:

Greater Healing Scroll
Downsize!
Earth Faerie Slingshot
Obsidian Dagger

The biggest flaw there is the lack of a freezer. Your budget limits you to the tempermental Snowglobe Satff, but I'm guessing your focus is dabbling in 1p, so it's worth having one for the withdraw-and-restart potential of beating many 1p opponents.

Next, I'm going to suggest a Purple Sticky Hand which is likewise best for 1p battling.

Then you should upgrade your constants. Stone Club is going for about 72k tonight, and Ice Club is usually a bit cheaper, both are 9 iconers. For a bit less, Tyrannian Lupe Tooth deals 8.66 icons.

Since your current set is healer heavy, you may want to take a look at Fighting Folder, but I don't think it's much good at your stats.

Since you asked about healers, you should probably also get a Golden Sun Chalice, mainly because it's dirt cheap (not because it will be all that useful)- swap it in for fights where the healing scroll isn't enough and hope you get lucky.
Ok,as for freezer,I'm aiming for a Lenny Lasso(Costs a lot,but it's the cheapest and most reliable freezer)
As for attack wise,thanks for the tips.Look pretty good.
However,there are still a few things that I'm not sure of.Mind if you enlighten me,please?
What do you mean about 85 boost?Actually,I'm a Lab rat.
As for Illusens Earth potion,I thought that it would act as a decent grenade.Are there any new ones that you can recommend?
CP and MM,well,I had nothing else to put in,so I just threw them in.
I think that I'm going to wait for my HP to be higher before I ditch it.Recommend it?
Thanks for your suggestions through.Was blown away by all of the new weapons.
The deal with Illusen Earth Potion is that it deals 6.33-9 icons once per battle for about 1,000 NP. Only the fact that it is dirt cheap keeps it from being total junk compared to the new lower-end constants.

Unstable Slime deals 7 constant icons multiple use for 2000 NP

17-Pound Trout deals 6.65-8 icons multiple use for 8k NP - while I lack adequate test data on the averages for either weapon, this seems to be about the same range as the IEP

Steaming Skeem Potion deals 8 constant vs 1p opponents, and has a chance to deal 11 in 2p, and is down to 50k

Tyrannian Lupe Tooth deals 8.66 constant icons multiple use for about 55k NP

Ice Club and Stone Club deal 9 full constant icons multiple use for 70k-80k

Since it's only about 7k to upgrade your bomb to equivalent constants, and only about 50k to jump to constants BETTER than your bomb, there's not a whole lot of point to IEP.

As for alternative grenades, the 9-iconers have also rendered most other options pointless, so you're left with single-use bombs, which are questionable on a limited budget. If you do want to go the single use route, Sand Snowball is dirt cheap for 9 icons; Sticky Snowball and Snow Mudball seem to average over 10 icons for just a few hundred np each; Fire Muffin and Chocolate Chip Battle Biscuit are around 1k for 12 icons; And for around 4k you can start looking at the many 15 icon single use bombs: Smelly Dung Muffin, Brain Muffin, Robot Muffin, Water Muffin Ornate Fighting Fan, Ruby Elixir, etc.
Thanks,but I don't know what you mean about the 85 boost.Mind if you told me more about it?
Here's a guide

So right now, the damage you deal to your opponent is 2 times the amount of icons you deal.
Once you train to 85 strength, the damage will be 2.5 times the number of icons your weapons do.
