Other Questions:

4) Do I need a Scuzzys Comb?

By the way, I mainly battle 1P. I'm looking for a Prickly Potion too.

First thing first, if you can post your stats that would help to see if defense is something we should include

For your current set, weapons you should keep are Downsize!, Patched Magic Hat, Ylanas Blaster, and Snowglobe Staff.

Why keep the weapons:

Downsize!-Do I really need to explain?

Patched Magic Hat- When you're in need of some pure defense this should work greatly, you might want to even consdier upgrading this to Sophies Magic Hat when you receive more money

Ylanas Blaster- 12.6 icons is it? Great weapon to have in 1p where the icons dont matter

Makeshifts Hammer- The reason you should keep Makeshifts Hammer is it deals 8 icons but defends threee physical which are extremely common in 1p

Snowglobe Staff- When you're in need for a freeze this is the best for your budget[/color]

Weapons need to be changed, Golden Compass and Leaf Shield

Weapons for Change:

Golden Compass- The reason you should change this weapon is you need to replace this with Scuzzys Comb or even Staff of Righteous Fury. They both deal more icons, SC-10 icons, while SoRF-Up to 12 icons. Type of icons dont matter in 1p, the one you choose is up to your choice. I would prefer Scuzzys Comb because it deals a constant 10 icons

Leaf Shield- Since you have Patched Magic Hat, there is no need for this anymore. Replace this with Purple Sticky Hand, you will need this in 1p battles when stealing is virtue.

Weapons that might to be changed because of stats, Greater Healing Scroll

Weapons that might to be changed:

Greater Healing Scroll- Depending on your hp you might want to change this healer. If you have 150hp or up, try morphing your pet into an elephante or gelert so you can get a 50% healer like Gelert Healer Remedy or Elephante Unguent. If its below 149 hp, Greater Healing Scrollshould work for the most part.

So your final set should be:

Downsize!
Greater Healing Scroll
Scuzzys Comb
Purple Sticky Hand
Patched Magic Hat
Makeshift Ships Hammer
Ylanas Blaster
Snowglobe Staff

Upgrades later on in your life in the Battledome:

Downsize!==>Downsize!, yeah its that good
Greater Healing Scroll==> 50% healer, depending on what species is your pet,Secies healer= Bag of Healing Dust
Scuzzys Comb==>Bow of Destiny
Purple Sticky Hand==>You can keep this, if you really like stealing consider Heavy Robe of Theivery
Patched Magic Hat==> Sophies Magic Hat
Makeshift Ships Hammer==>Dusty Magic Broom or even Mask of Coltzan
Ylanas Blaster==> Ylanas Blaster
Snowglobe Staff==>Black Frost Cannon or even a 100% freezer such as Freezing Potion or a species like Entangling Lenny Lasso

The upgrades will cost millions save up

Last bit of advice, train! Training is essential in 1p, if you're only going to do 1p and know for fact no 2p, try training mostly your STR, LVL, and HP.

I totally forgot about Prickly Potion! You defintely want to consider this in your set, most likely as a replacement for Makeshifts ships Hammer. This is a great weapon in1p for low boosts going against higer boost.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Awesome advice Meuka_Follower.

I did think about a Prickly Potion.
I changed my first post so that it now includes my pet's stats. I haven't got around to training yet for whatever reason. I seem to forget and continue using the lab ray.

Is it worth switching out a Patched Magic Hat for a Sophies Magic Hat?

1) Which is better, Pike Pike or Essence of Esophagor. Should I get one of those?
Since your defense is not up to your STR, you might want to stay more on the offensive side. Or if you plan to train your DEF up to your STR then the Makeshift Ships Hammer should do. But if you want to continue labbing, Essence of Esophagor should be a decent replacement for Make Ships Hammer.
2) Should I get a Sinsis Crown or Winged Scarab (or a weapon that blocks all physical)?
Again your DEF is not up to your STR, so pure defensive shields wont work for you to well. I do like the idea of replacing Winged Scarab for Patched Magic Hat, but it might cost you to go over your price range.
3) Is it worth to get a Sophies Magic Hat to switch out for my Patched Magic Hat?
With the low defense maybe not, if you train it then yes.
4) Do I need a Scuzzys Comb?
Do you NEED to have it?Then I would say no, its just a nice upgrade in your set, but its not a neccessity.

5) Is stealing important in 1P battles?
I know when facing the Giant Goskerchief (Spelling error) you have to steal his ghostkersword, and there are other people you should steal from. I think it is important.

By the way, I mainly battle 1P. I've also considered a Prickly Potion.

My Reply:
Still trying to get a Prickly Potion.

1) Ok.
2) I think I'll stay with my Patched Magic Hat instead of getting a full physical blocker.
3) I think I'll stay with Patched Magic Hat for now.
4) *decides not to upgrade to scuzzys comb*
5) I'm stuck on the meerca henchmen right now =(. Stealing is useless on them. I do have a Purple Sticky Hand though, in case I need it for future challenges. (Giant Ghostkerchief)

Still looking for Prickly Potion. =)
