LOL, that's right.

Mostly 1 player, but some 2.
I have 3 mil in the bank, but I'd prefer not to use all of it
Training now, but will start labbing soon
50K a day probably

I would lab until Liquidnitrogenneo turns into a Kacheek. That will take a while, so you might want to spend 500K for a morphing potion. Also, since your strength and defence are more or less the same, you might want to switch into using dual-duties. The problem with that is that you don't have quite enough for a good set with dual-duties. Therefore, I'll stick with mono-duties.

Plan:
1. Sell the Black Frost Cannon for 500K and get Rainbow Frost Cannon for 400K. Might as well get an extra 100K if you mostly do 1-player. Scroll of Freezing for 2-player.
2. Sell Ice Club and Golden Compass for 290K. You should now have about 3.39 million in your bank.
3. Sell Greater Healing Scroll and you'll have about 36K more. That's about 3.43 million savings.
4. Buy Garoo Elite Blaster for 1.8 million. You should now have 1.63 million.
5. Buy Ramtors Spellbook for 590K (there's one in auctions right now). You should now have 1.04 million.
6. Buy Kacheek Life Potion for 115K. You should now have 925K.

Your New Set:
Purple Sticky Hand
Downsize!
Leaf Shield
Kacheek Life Potion
Rainbow Frost Cannon or Scroll of Freezing
Fruit Bomb
Garoo Elite Blaster
Ramtors Spellbook

BFC is better than RFC , why don't keep BFC? Use RFC for the extra 100k but have a lower freezing % is better? I see no use of changing it because you will still end up with 825k in the end.

[WiltChamberlain13]

But if you buy a Kacheek Morphing Potion, the cheapest is Kacheek Transmogrification Potion in the Trades for 175K. Then you'll be left with 750K if you use Rainbow Frost Cannon. 650K if you use Black Frost Cannon. It's up to you.

[theonlysaneone]

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'm going to keep the BFC, because I do enough 2-player battling to make it worthwhile AND I don't feel like withdrawing a whole bunch more. Since I'm going to return to labbing pretty soon, I'm not going to morph. Well, I might. But probably not.

[WiltChamberlain13]

Morphing has its pros and cons.

Pros:
1. Much better to do IF there is a war coming up because it's way faster.
2. You can get the avatar.

Cons:
1. You'll have to stop labbing your pet because it might change into another species.
2. You'll have to raise stats by training because you won't lab anymore.

I dont think a perccent healer is very improtant now because you only have 130+ HP . Even KLP only give you 10 more Hp compare to greater healing scroll . so i think you should go for 100% freezer or better weapons .

So my suggestion is to morph to a mutant lenny .less than 200k . then buy ELL , it cost 3m and most of the time even much less if you find a bargain .(i got it for 2.5m only)

[theonlysaneone]

You guys, I'm not going to morph

Thanks for the help, but does anyone besides Chamberlain have any advice that doesn't have to do with species healers?

[Cranberry]

People, people. When someone posts here and says their pet is a lab pet, almost all of the time, that means they don't plan to stop labbing and morph anytime soon. TOSO's being really nice about it, but usually if you keep telling these people to morph, they'll get mad at you. And what's with all the kacheek love, anyway? I'm with sirhatter -- I like the 50% healers better (just turned my own pet into a mutant gelert).

Anyway!

Fruit bomb, awesome. You could potentially sell that for more than it's actually worth, but I'm betting it's got sentimental value, being a(n increasingly rare) war prize and all, right? It's still better than honey potion, anyway. Downsize! and Greater Healing Scroll are both fine (though the GHS is just barely good and won't be for long). I also like BFC and the Golden Compass, and Leaf Shield is of course good. PSH is great for certain 1-player enemies. There's not much I'd change quite yet...

Your problem is that you're in that range where the next really good upgrades are expensive... the 100% freezers, the all-species healers that heal more than 50 hp, the 13-iconers. You could think about an 11-iconer, for pure 1-player power (Goo Blaster and Fungus Ray both do completely different icon types from the compass), or Dusty Magic Broom, for 2-player dual-duty. Both, if you feel like spending some cash and having some options to switch in and out of your set. Or you could just keep saving up until you have 3.3 mil (or whatever they are now) that you do want to spend and grab Wand of Reality or Bow of Destiny. I'd go for weapons that'd help you more in 1-player... and that just means as much power as you can afford.
