Full Version: next steps for battling?

I just got the Number 6 avatar, so I have some "cash" available. Here's current information (I am currently training strength and defense at the Academy and plan to train hitpoints for a while at the Training School once I hit about 78-79 strength/defense to save on codestones):

lannine26551
Species: Usul
Level: 36
Health: 93 / 71
Strength: AWESOME (60)
Defence: EXCELLENT (59)
Move: EXCELLENT (47)
Intelligence: ULTIMATE GENIUS (145)

Current weapons:
Shiny Shoal Shell Shield
Scarab Ring
Blue Scorchstone
Tyrannian Lupe Tooth
Snowglobe Staff
Battle Ready Pencil Box
Unstable slime
Chocolate Chip Battle Biscuit

Current abilities:
Drain Life
Burrow
Restore
Quench
Diamond Dust
Sink
Fiery Gaze

So here are my questions. I am willing to spend about 3-5 million if necessary, although I would prefer to spend less. With that amount, what should I do - continue training strength/defense/hitpoints, as is my current plan, train agility as well as the others, work on raising my pet's intelligence instead of/in addition to training, and/or upgrade my weapons? My main priority is 1player, especially DoN and preparing for upcoming wars - BEFORE they come and inflation starts.

Thanks for your help!
From a One Player standpoint, drop everything except Snowglobe Staff. Go with dual-Prickly Potion and dual-Ylanas Blaster. Add a Greater Healing Scroll and Downsize!. (From the Two Player standpoint, Scarab Ring still has some application, but you'd also want to swap the Pricklies for other weapons.)

Your next set upgrades will be above the 7 million mark (a freezer, Ghostkerbomb, Sword of Skardsen). (Again, that's from a One Player standpoint.)

Otherwise, train. Don't bother training Agility: the Lab and K-Quests will supplement it. Don't worry about Intelligence until you specifically want to use an Int-requiring weapon (and when that time comes, just borrow a Scroll Potion).

I don't use the lab with my battle pet (I like the species and color), and I have 4 pets, so from what I know about K-quests, I'd be pretty much wasting time and NPs.

I guess my real question about agility and intelligence is, will the weapons requiring high intelligence and/or agility be useful enough to me to make it worth training them, or not?

Also, does the Scroll Potion work for 1p? From what I saw, I thought it was only for 2p.
From a One Player standpoint, I'm pretty sure only Heavy Robe of Thievery (requiring 201 Agility) is worthwhile. But since stealing is disabled during Plot battling, it would be useless to you unless you care to max out in general. I don't think there are any Int-requiring weapons that are particularly viable in One Player. (It's always possible we'll see more of each in the future.)

Scroll Potion only works in Two Player, but the effect is permanent.
OK, I've replaced my scarab ring with Ylana's blaster. Since I used plot points, it doesn't impact my budget - yay for plot points and thanks to those who gave me advice during the fighting. Cool
I'd say you should make a side account, wait 4 months for it to mature, and use transfer to send your non main pet over.

Kitchen quests become valuable.

Someday when your training is done, bring them back home.
