What weapon does your bell has? Will a weapon with poison or bleeding help your bell win (eventually)?
machine gun/bullet. at higher levels switch to shotguns you need the damage. However the upgrade path in pets for 'bell types are
1. platina/gold bells: I keep one since he has 100 cooking and I dont want to start over
2. bell emergence: melee fighters. due to melee not useful until you gene engineer limbs and give lots of rubynus material. Also useful to put two of them together so they kill faster and imprve survivability level wit gene engineering to get more HP.
3. Xena Satellite: sasme features as a bell. These are faster. Same damage reduction. Mix of melee and range.
4. Bell of termination; Totally bad ass. They can have 4 arms. I have 1 with 4 artifact weapons. They are pretty rare to spawn. I found 1 more recenmtly ,but party was full from little sisters.
About wishes... you get most of them with pets drinking from fountains. Wishes are not really game changing. You can't wish for armor. Seven league boots are a big boost to alot of things. After that its nice to have. Aurora ring... dont wish for this. its not that valuable. potions of potential. these are not that rare in elona+. BBQ (I wished for one), but you can use pickpocket in party time quests. Happy Beds? I wished for one than found my first not long after so bleh. I have a bunch now. Found several aurora rings. I change material and sell. The 'it protects youi from bad weather' can be found rarely on other items. I actually have a regular ring with this that I use cause i make alot of gold selling aurora rings.
Anyone notice that drops seem to be better in Lost Irva for a given DL level in random dungeons?
Also the snow in the ice in Lost Irva losts much longer. Makes it easier to read skillbooks (namely locking since Im doing 400+ DLs now and this is a pain to raise).
