A Shovel Neopets

I hate carrots neopets list. Oh wow, so much to say. In general, I hate how draconian their policies are - especially the ones that mean I can't troll a little or tell people to subtly, or otherwise, go fuck themselves, and I hate how they won't tell you why they won't let you post a message with the whole 'the text that we won't let you post is ' ' ' bullshit.On the other hand, I want to be rich and be able to afford everything (or sell stuff for £££), and I still play for the same reason Ash Ketchum keeps on trying and failing to beat the various Pokemon leagues.

A gust of cold wind assaults you as you enter this vast ice cavern. In the center you see a massive pile of treasure.. thousands, possibly millions of rare Neopian items, the biggest hoard you have ever seen.

On top of the pile of treasure you see a massive worm made out of ice. This must be none other than the Snowager! You have heard legends about this beast, about its greed, and how it likes to eat Neopets for every meal (and sometimes between meals too!)

Sleeping Hours

The Snowager is currently sleeping..

Do you want to venture in and try to steal some of its treasure? If so click here. Be warned.. if it catches you, you will be in DEEP trouble! Otherwise click the button below to go back to the Ice Caves!

The Snowager is asleep during the following hours. You may approach him once during each hour he slumbers:

  • 6:00am - 7:00am NST
  • 2:00pm - 3:00pm NST
  • 10:00pm - 11:00pm NST

If you try to visit more than once within the allotted times you will receive a warning message:

You dont want to try and enter again for a while..
the Snowager may wake up..
Come back later.

If you try to visit outside of those hours you will find him awake and that is never a good thing:

The Snowager is awake!!! You better run before it eats you!!!
(maybe you should come back when it is sleeping!)

December Hibernation

Starting in December 2011, the Snowager began an annual hibernation during the entire month of December. While he is in hibernation, you can visit him once per day at any time. (Initially, you were able to visit him once every 2 hours, but this was then limited to once per day.)

Rating:
Initial look- With the exception of Kings Lens I am not a fan of reflectors..
Defensive Power- 3/5- Yes, it can send back 75% of earth icons back to your opponent if they're using Super Attack Pea. Grapes of Wrath, Seasonal Attack Pea, Sword of Thare, Illusens Staff and Attack Pea, but if they aren't then you either partially or completely wasted half a turn. Also you have to make sure you use this on the EXACT same turn as your opponent using their supposed heavy duty Earth based items otherwise this is worthless. Not only that, but if they are using a massive Earth dealing weapon and you somehow manage to use your shovel at the same time they hitting you, then you will still be taking at least 25% of those Earth icons PLUS whatever other icons that weapon has. Lets just pray to Hubrid Nox it was worth it. And if your foe isn't packing any Earth based items? Well then you just wasted an entire weapon slot. Congratulations.
Counters- Contrary to popular belief there are weapons out there which can counter reflectors. Skarls Amulet is one such weapon. Not that you will be seeing that anytime soon.
Alternatives- None worth mentioning.
Bonus- 0/1- It reflects? Not really much to say otherwise..no special secret abilities here.
Overall Rating- 5/10. This is one of the most over-hyped weapons in my opinion. I've done quite a few battles at the upper and elite levels and I can't recall ever running into someone actually using this against me. Now, Kings Lens I have seen and can understand why; but this? Noxmiles was right: even though it's limit one, if it weren't you'd still better of..

At a Glance (2/3):
This is no ordinary shovel.. it will give *A LOT of your opponent's attack back at them, specifically 75% of all earth damage. It is irrelevant whether or not you can equip more than one as you are better off using just one.
In-Depth (4/4):
This shovel is your best counter against any and every massive earth attackers: the Pea family, Grapes of Wrath, Ghostkerbomb, Sword of Thare, Illusens Staff, and just about any other weapons with a sizable amount of earth.
The way you use this is just like using Shovel Plus: you use this shovel and your own constant/shield when they use a mass-earth attacker or two. You will still face challenges with weapons like Super Attack Pea and GoW that have 2 massive elements instead of just earth, but it won't be as bad, especially when you have those high-end weapons yourself! Just make sure to time it correct and use your Jedi-like intuitions, or your opponent will take advantage of it and use non-earth weapons.
Price (1/2):
~17m is pretty pricey, but this is really one of the best weapons to have when fighting in high-end battles, where massive earth attacks are somewhat expected. Shovel Plus is a major downgrade with a cheap price of ~30k.
Bonus (1/1):
Reflecting damage is always better than just blocking, because it not only defends, but attacks as well. And this is one of the best reflectors, as there is nothing else that reflects more than 75% earth damage.
Any technical/defensive battler will always enjoy having this in their set.
Final Score: 8/10

Price/Power (5/5)
Most all of these 75% reflectors are pretty expensive and not worth it. This however is not one of those.. Earth is heavily used in a lot of elite items (which we will go into later) and that makes a difference. This is the most powerful earth reflector on Neopets right now and offers a much better experience then the Illusens Silver Shield for earth blocking.
Countermeasures (5/5)
Super Attack Pea, Illusens Staff, Ghostkerbomb, Sword of Thare,Grapes of Wrath.. These are just some of the awesome items which this shovel manages to essentially crush. That alone should explain the 5/5 rating.
Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
There are many other reflectors. The best being Clawed Shield and U-Bend of Great Justice but neither of those have nearly as many applications. As mentioned the Illusens Silver Shield is another option for blocking earth, but given the fact it is the same rarity doesn't even have a real price advantage.
Other Points (No Bonus Possible)
Final Thoughts
Not much more to say.

Ultra Dual Shovel is a weapon that can play with the elite without carrying an elite price tag.
At Ultra Dual Shovel reflects 75% of Earth icons received, making it the strongest Earth reflector in the game. Earth icons are fairly common all throughout the various levels of battling, but they become especially prominent in the upper levels beginning with Sword of Thare. Earth can be a particularly difficult icon type to defend against, which makes Ultra Dual Shovel even better.
Pirate Captains Hat is an excellent Earth defender, but it runs the risk of breaking for the battle any time that it is used. Shield of Pion Troect and Illusens Silver Shield fail to impress due to a lack additional traits. Kings Lens can still be a useful Earth defender if Dark and Light icons are present as well.
When it comes to mass Earth icons, Ultra Dual Shovel will reign supreme in countering them. Ultra Dual Shovel can come out ahead against Seasonal Attack Pea and comes surprising close to matching Super Attack Pea and Grapes of Wrath. Ultra Dual Shovel will also utterly destroy Attack Pea, Illusens Staff, and Sword of Thare. And yes, when paired with A Shovel, Ultra Dual Shovel can wreak havoc against any Earth icons that oppose the user.
Like any reflector, using Ultra Dual Shovel is a gamble that may not pay off. But against superb sets, Ultra Dual Shovel is one of the best options for countering some of the most elite items in the game. As the best Earth-reflecting option available, Ultra Dual Shovel is a perfect 10/10.
