Status: Right now I'm saving up for a Honey Potion. I need help on finding Heavy Attack (multiple use) weapons, and a better Dual-Duty Weapon than Scarab Ring.

Quote:Current Stats:

Species : Lupe
Level : 36
Health : 65 / 65
Strength : EXCELLENT (54)
Defence : EXCELLENT (42)
Move : mach 2
Intelligence : ULTIMATE GENIUS (168)

Will reach 55 Strength Boost within one hour. After that, i'm gonna train Defence to 55. After that, I might train speed (for Use with heavy robe of thievery).

Conclusion: Help me find Heavy Attack and Dual-Duty Weapons

[rylix]

First step: TRAIN to 55 boost or higher. I'd also reccomend getting a GHS pretty soon.

Golden compass should be in your set, it is an awesome weapon. Sell ice/stone clubs/pcc and get an Essense of Esophagor/Pike Pike (maybe not... the light)/keep stone club if you really want as your third weapon (obviously RSB is first and GC is second). Put your scarab ring in the "bomb" slot for now, its situationally useful even with your weapons. THEN yes i think you should start saving for a Honey Potion.

I hope the cost of those lupe wands doesn;t pile up on you!

[Fier0]

Teh lupe wand's are no problems =D

And yes, i'm training at the academy right now and doing kitchen quests as much as possible, so Stat 55 won't take really long.

Essence of Esophagor or Pike Pike, which one would be better combined with Ramtors Spellbook?

And honey potion is what i'm saving up for at the moment, but isn't earth commonly blocked (though HP has A LOT of earth, so it'll penetrate many thing)?

Thanx for your reaction =D

Edit: This is my set atm:

1. Ramtors Spellbook
2. Golden Compass
3. Stone Club
4. Scarab Ring
5. Leaf Shield
6. Downsize!
7. Blue Scorchstone
8. EMPTY

What should I Put in the EMPTY slot?

[rylix]

Empty Slot: Freezer. Snowglobe Staff/Green Frost Cannon/Lupe Wands?

Pike Pike or Essence of Esophagor?
The thing is you arent combining it with Ramtors. You should be combing GoC with ramtors and using EoE/PP to avoid shields. For this reason EoE is better for the purpose because your opponent will be expecting light when you use GoC/Ramtors. You can keep stone club if you want, it also has different icons (its just better in different situations). So its likely EoE or Stone Club, in my oppinion.

Please note: stealing weapons take from the first slot- don't put your best weapon there, put your worst just in case you didn't know!

[Fier0]

DOH, I forgot that I unequipeed ALW, stupid me...

So basically I should be putting scarab ring on the first place right? Thanx for your advice, I really appreciate it. So now i'm gonna look for a EoE =D future set: (within few days lol)

1. Scarab Ring
2. Ramtors Spellbook
3. Golden Compass
4. Stone Club / EoE (switcH)
5. Leaf Shield
6. Downsize!
7. Blue Scorchstone
8. Ancient Lupe Wand

While training is a far better deal for you right now, your weapon options in that price range are

1. Upgrade to a second 10 iconer - either another Ramtors, Scuzzys Comb[/link] or [idb]Staff of Righteous Fury

or

2. Get a Prickly Potion for its use in 1player

or

3. Upgrade Leaf Shield to Sophies Magic Hat This probably is not worth it unless you plan to overtrain defense and fight in 2p leagues.

or

4. Keep saving towards a Honey Potion

Whichever of those you go with, you should also get a [link=Greater Healing Scroll]. At your current stats it's about the same as the Blue SS, but as you gain more HP, it gets better. Also, get a [link=Purple Sticky Hand], but you'll only want to use it against 1p challengers with strong stealable weapons (ie Black Pteri)

[Fier0]

I think im gonna save up for a Honey Potion right now, I kinda need a bomb. And ofcourse Training is my first priority, so i'm doing it as often as I can, it's not that I rather buy weapons than training

And what does prickly potion do, except reflecting damage?

P.S. how can you put weapon names that way, that it turnes red in your post and becomes clickable (and when you click, you see the information about that weapon?). Sorry to ask, but I've never a system like this before

[CadaverGrey]

You type out [ idb ]*weapon name* [ / idb ]. No spaces in between bracket.

Anyway, if you often fight 2-player, you might wanna look into getting an Iron Lupe Helm to be put into your first slot. That way, if you are fighting a non-lupe and your opponent steals that weapon away:

1) He won't be able to use it against you.

2) The Helm is strong enough to be useful, but not too strong till you get crippled by its loss if your opponent steals it away.

Also, for 1-player purpose, I would recommend a Black Frost Cannon or a Rainbow Frost Cannon. You can always withdraw till it freezes, thus saving you alot of NPs that you can use to help you get that Honey Potion .

[Fier0]

For freezing weapons i'll think Ancient Lupe Wand will do just fine, since it is 100% and overall cheaper than a good frost cannon.

Iron Lupe Helm doesn't seem very amazing too me, though the fact that the opponent can't use it and it's a decent weapon is quite nice =D

[CadaverGrey]

Your choice. My pet used to be a lupe, so I am speaking from experience.

For now the Ancient Lupe Wand should suffice you, but do remember that the Black Frost Cannon is about the same price as 15 Wands. So it's not all that far off. I would recommend the wand highly for 2-player battles. No doubt, a 100% freezer is necessary, in those battle types. I would also recommend the wand during war/plots scenarios, but that is where your pocket is really gonna hurt since it will be selling at an inflated price.

Iron Lupe Helm is not AMAZING. On a head to head battle with Golden Compass, the Helm reduces the GC to a 6 iconer, while it manages to creep in 3.4 icons. Not particularly impressive.

But compare that with the Sword of the Dead which will end up doing the same amount of damage for a MUCH higher price. Even the Ethereal Sword which does a slightly stronger damage of 1.6 icons more, but costing MUCH more. Of course I am not factoring the defence for both those weapons, which would justify their higher prices altogether.

What I am trying to say here is: you are not entirely dependent on the Helm's attack or defence. That is a good thing. You are not gonna get crippled by its absence, but you can deal quite a surprise when you throw it once in a while. Try pairing it with the Golden Compass, and see what it does. It's cheap enough to purchase and sell off easily, so you won't be making much of a loss

[Fier0]

Yeah you're right, but first things first: Honey Potion =D

When I get more money, i'm gonna buy a freezer that I can use against 'normal' 1P challengers, So I don't need to waste ALW =D
