Oct 19, 2015  Welcome to /r/neopets! A subreddit made by Neopians, for Neopians, to hang out without scorn from TNT! Do NOT mention reddit in any way, shape, or form on Neopets itself; reddit is not an official fansite. Subreddit Rules (basics below) Be excellent to each other. Drama is not tolerated.

The Tyrannian Battleground is an ongoing feature in the Battledome where you get to choose a faction to join and fight for every two weeks. At the end of each two week cycle, the Oracle awards prizes to the winning faction.

1. Nov 21, 2013  Personally, I think the Black Market Boon is only useful if you are already a decent restocker. It highlights the items that are good to get, yes, but it isn't going to give you any other advantages with getting the items.
2. Boons - Sway Only. In addition to a nifty avatar and site theme, participants who were members of The Sway also get additional powerups (or 'boons') applied to their account until the truce is over. These boons are available after each round of the recurring Tyrannian Battleground.

The Battleground is a follow-up from the War for the Obelisk event, in which six factions fought over a magical obelisk that appeared in Neopia.

Sign Ups

Every other Monday, head on over to the battleground to enlist yourself among the brave warriors. You have three days to sign up with your faction of choice. Each cycle, three random factions will be selected to participate in that week's battle. The prizes you receive (see the Boons section below) differ depending on your faction, so it can be more advantageous to join in depending on the available factions.

Battling

The fighting kicks off on the Thursday following sign ups and continues for four days. Your faction leader will help you keep track of your battles during each skirmish. In order to qualify as having helped your faction, you have to take part in at least 10 battles, regardless of difficulty. It is unknown at this time how the difficulty of the challengers affects the number of points your team receives. You can find a list of all the challengers in our In-Depth Battlepedia.

Prizes: Boons

If you allied yourself with the victorious faction during a skirmish, then you will be rewarded with your choice of boon (a fancy name for 'perks') to enhance the site for the duration of the week-long truce. Each faction has its own list of priorities, so not all boons are available for every faction.

Boon Effects

Below is a listing of each boon and what it does:

Prizes: Avatars and Site Themes

In addition to selecting your boons above, you will also receive the respective avatar and site theme for the faction you allied yourself with. To receive all 6 avatars and all 6 site themes, you will need to join in (and hope your faction wins!) 6 of the two week cycles.

One of the most important things to think about in the Battledome is doing damage. If you are unable to inflict damage upon your opponent, you have an extremely small chance of winning. The damage you can inflict is represented by the attack icons you deal in battle.

There are seven types of icons:

• Air:
• Earth:
• Dark:
• Light:
• Fire:
• Water:
• Physical:

The more attack icons you can deal, the more damage you will inflict. For example, a weapon like Sparkshooter, which does three icons, is substantially weaker than an Ice Club, which does nine icons.

While the number of icons gives some indication of how much damage you will deal out, the actual amount also takes your pet's Strength stat into account. Look at the table below and check which category your pet's Strength falls into; this will tell you how much damage each icon represents.

Neopets Obelisk Boons

As you can see, raising your pet's Strength stat does not always make him or her immediately able to do more damage; you won't see a change until your pet's Strength reaches the next category on the table. A pet with a Strength of 35 will do the same damage as one with a Strength of 50, and a pet with 750 will match a pet with 5000.

These categories (8-12, 13-19, and so on) are often called strength boosts, and referred to by their lowest number. So, a Neopet whose Strength was somewhere between 35 and 54 would be described as having the 35 strength boost.

Example Damage Calculation

My pet has a Strength stat of 100, and is using two Bzzt Blasters. To know how much damage she can expect to deal, I need to look at her stats and her weapons.

The Bzzt Blaster does 11 icons' worth of damage. My pet is using two of these at once, so her weapons produce 2 x 11 = 22 icons.

A Strength stat of 100 falls between 85 and 124, meaning it's within the 85 strength boost. Looking at the table, this means that each icon will inflict 2.5 points of damage.

Multiplying the two numbers shows us how much damage output to expect. In this case, my pet will inflict 22 x 2.5 = 55 points of damage.

Take THAT!

Also, one last thing to note: Many weapons do fractional icons. You may find that while a weapon displays five icons, it inflicts fewer points of damage than this would lead you to expect. The weapon is actually producing 'four and a bit' icons' worth of damage -- more than four, but still less than five, even though five icons are being displayed. This can be a common situation, so if you don't have your weapon's stats to hand, be sure to keep an eye on how much damage is actually being done rather than just looking at the icons.
