Counting on Count von Roo?

[jussy]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone rely on the Deadly Dice to attempt to level up cheaply? And have you been successful at it?

I tried it a while back, and I think i was generally making levels overall, until the occasional time when i'd lose 4 or something levels in one shot..

Well other than the problem that the count wakes up for only 1 hour a day at 2am my time zone, I don't use the count for levels because they became random Before I heard rolling the dice at the correct time could get you quite a few level ups Now it's been changed to random and it's not worth the risk anymore.

I use it for my lab pet, whom I don't train any other way. He's definitely been gaining levels overall, which has been nice. He's no longer stuck in the vicinity of level 3

I also used Deadly Dice for when I accidentally got my battle pet's level to 151. It took maybe a week, but I eventually got his level back down to 150, thank goodness.

Ah!
I never thought of it that way, to deliberately lose levels!
(I've always had a low level pet, and the thought of deliberately losing levels is )

I only used Roo for the Avatar. It was a one-night stand, and then we were through. He and I both knew what it was....

In seriousness, I dislike using random methods for increasing skills. There is no way to predict results and to guarantee balanced stats.

I've been collecting times on deadly dice for some time. Between 12:02:00an and 12:03:00am NST I seem to have more luck gaining levels.
If anyone would like to take a look at my collected times and see if they can discern a pattern, I can try to compile all my times in a list of some sort. But it'll probably have to wait until next weekend.
