Thank You for that Info.. was leaning towards your reply regarding stats (thinking they may be similar guidelines to Neopets) but just wanted to make sure.. Yes, I definitely want to be able to beat those bigger Quests / Opponents! Thanks also for the number, regarding APs.. it gives me a Target, will put books first and foremost - then add the Collection Items and Foods for daBeast.. when I get there :)

Hello guys! I have a question regarding Boudewijn: do I need to go to the dance floor when dancing for a chance of unlocking him as an opponent?
//edit: I just found out he's not really a battle oponent, you just play rock paper scissors with him, haha! I take my question back then.

i take a different approach to stats. at higher levels not having defence gets you steamrolled. not having speed means the enemy will crit waaay too often. however HP is the most important. HP dictates how many hits you can take AND how much you heal making it in my book 2x as important as the other stats. my ideal final build has hp twice as high as str, def and speed. also remember the equasion for str and def are square roots.
str of 6000 vs 4000 is a 22% increase of damage. hp of 6000 vs 4000 is 50% more health AND 50% more healing every turn (until you reach the healing cap which for most things is 10,000 hp) I prefer being tankier. Daikiria is maxed if you wanna see what I did with him. hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the advice and imput also.. will definitely write those details down for further reference! Will take a look at Daikiria to get an idea too, for sure :) Appreciate it!
Oh man, I wish he were a real battle opponent! That'd be great! Here's to hoping the Panzer Hydra comes back though.

Have just finished buying all the Steamworks Books, back to 2009 :) Didn't realize I could actually purchase the Gold Bags, which made it a heap easier than trying to stay online, to dance all day.. :P
