Do you smell something burning in Section 42, subsection 2 of the BP?

Currently, we know that this weapon has terrible icons. The actual iconage seems to be 2 earth icons and 0.85-4.25 physical attack, totaling up to 2.85-6.25 total icons. Meh, not all weapons can be amazing, eh? ;)

I am a wise sword! :D

At the moment, it is known that you need a certain number of intelligence to use this weapon. The exact number is unknown, but it's believed to be 500-600. If you know the number of this, please Contact Us. Thanks for your help!

Fear my Grapey fury!

This is a 24-iconer, also known as a new Attack Pea! However, as it restocks at the Cove, it's obviously going to be rare, so consider yourself lucky if you get one! And if you want to buy one on the TP, be warned: being a Cove weapon, it's going to be expensive...

Don't worry, we won't hurt you... much.

These weapons are stocking at the Tyrannian Weaponry shop. Get 'em while they're hot!

Note that the names, and other stats, are currently unofficial. It would be a big help to the BP that if you own these weapons and would like to tell us about it and run some tests for us. Please Contact Us if you can do that. Thank you!

The names are UNOFFICIAL for now. If you know any more developments about these weapons, please Contact Us.

We have new BD news for you! TNT finally decided to release a semi-good SC weapon: the 9-Pound Coconut!

This weapon seems to deal out 10 water icons and 3 physical, with the enormous price tag rounding from as low as 6 million to as high as 11. Please note that these prices are preliminary and subject to change in the near future.

Hi everybody!

It's Battlepedia update time!

You may have noticed that we've moved our Helpful Article section up a box on the right hand navigation. This is so these helpful articles are more easily accessible. Additionally, our articles have been broken down into several categories of content so it's easier to find what you're looking for!

Also, a <- Back to Article Listing link has been added TO THE TOP (instead of the bottom) on every in-depth article page, allowing you to easily access the main listing. Less clicking and less keystrokes is what we're all about!

Whooooo! I love helpful articles!

Enjoy!

Hi!

If you haven't noticed on most of our in-depth weapon pages, we now have sorting options (long overdue, I know, but they are finally here!). You can sort alphabetically, reverse alphabetically, based on the number of icons dealt, or based on the number of icons blocked. We're working on sorting options for price, but that's in the works.

O Happy Day!

Additionally, our Highest Rated Weapons page has some options too. Before, you could only view the highest rated weapons in all categories. Now, we've broken it down — you can now view the highest rated weapons for individual categories (such as highest rated freezer, highest rated dual duty, etc).

More coming soon!

Hello everybody!

Ian here with the TDN Department of Homeland Security. I just wanted to let you know that your tdnAccount (NOT Neopets or TDN Forums) passwords could have been compromised in a certain break in to our admin panel. Whilst your passwords are encrypted, really easy passwords are crackable.

Whyyyy...

This means that *ALL* TDN members with tdnAccounts need to change their passwords NOW! You can do so by going to the Members area and changing your password. You will have to re-login after you change it.

Keeping you safe,
Ian

Hello TDNers!

We have an avatar feature in our member area that allows you to upload a cool icon to your account. But, unfortunately, all of them have been deleted for various reasons. As you can imagine, all avatars appear as broken images right now. Don't ask for the long story, you don't want to know, but it was necessary.

He must've ran the wrong rm -f -r command! :(

Avatars will be back... sometime. Maybe. ;o

UPDATE 2: All avatars are showing as "default" now. :) At least it's not a broken image anymore!

Hi,

Our wishlists have been down for the past day or so. I just wanted to let you know that all wishlists across all departments are now operational. Let us know if you have any troubles with your tdnAccounts by contacting us through the main site (not via the Battlepedia contact form). Our accounts have been fully migrated to a new authentication system.

Yay, everything is back on track!

Hello everybody,

If you haven't already noticed, you've been logged out of your tdnAccount already. Feel free to re-login if you'd like. Our site has been migrated to a newer, safer authentication system. :) However, currently WISHLISTS are down on all departments (it will say you're logged out, when you're really logged in -- ignore this on wishlist pages). We're currently working on fixing that as we speak...

I eat hackers for breakfast.

TDN has also been the target of script kiddies and hackers recently. The main site is safe, but BEWARE of any suspicious links you receive in private messages (on the forums) from people you don't know. DO NOT CLICK THEM! *Always* check the URL at the bottom of your browser before clicking; a URL can be masked. Report ALL scammers and spammers on the forum to a forum moderator immediately.

We'll let you know when the wishlists are back up :)

Keeping you safe,
Ian

Yet another plot challenger is among us!

BOOM! 300 HP - You can't stop me!

Check out all of Primary Grundo Bot RZ894's weapons and stats on his profile page.

After gathering some information and opinions about the new challenger, tdnBP's Content and Review team think it's best not to update our guide. The challenger is extremely powerful for newbies and beginners (since my RoS guide is basically directed at them), and those who can beat it are already experienced battlers with a decent/respectable weapon set, and a strong pet. Therefore, I don't see the need to write a guide for the more experienced, because most people said it weren't necessary because they already know how to beat him effectively.

Could it be? The Return of Dr. Sloth plot is now coming back, after so long!

The Daily Neopets is, of course, providing complete coverage, which can be found here. While there are currently no steps to complete, or any indication of any battledome challengers we just wanted to let everyone know that TDN will also be providing complete war and battle coverage right here on tdnBP.

So, be sure to check back here if any battledome challengers are discovered to determine your weapons and attack methods! You might also want to take this time to train your pets a bit just in case there happens to be a battle, and there more than likely will be.

Search has been fixed! Sorry about that!

Thanks everyone, and remember to stick with tdnBP.

Hi guys,

For those of you who don't already know, we're running a cool miniplot on our Battlepedia called Weapons of Mass Destruction! All parts of the plot have been fully released now (you don't have to wait for anything new to come out) and you have until January 31st to complete the plot (after that, it'll close and winners shall be announced)! If you haven't already, register for a tdnAccount, log in, and play the plot (by clicking Plot Headquarters)!

*glare*

Hmm... that's weird. *shakes it off* Anyway, we're also still hiring for our Battlepedia. We've found 2 new staff members and you'll see more of their reviews pop up all over the site eventually (we're still setting their accounts up). If you're a good battler and have some experience in the battledome, please don't hesitate to apply (click "Apply for Staff" on the right hand navigation).

Additionally, we've fixed a few bugs around the site. The first one was a login bug. The second was allowing multiple accounts on our Battlepedia. Whenever a person registered, it didn't check our databases for their IP, but now it does. This will prevent multiple accounts. Multiple accounts are not allow and take up precious space of ours! ;(

Thanks guys! Battle on!

Oh dear... the HQ has stumbled across a mysterious vault!

They think that this is where the weapons of mass destruction are being stored. Part 3 has been released! Can you crack the vault code? Use your brain and use Jerry, but don't think too hard! Your brain might explode then. ;( Now, we wouldn't want that would we? Oh no.

For those of you who are JUST JOINING IN, you can still ENTER the plot and complete it (all parts, yup!). However, the plot will officially close on January 31st and after that, you will no longer be able to play or complete it. So move quickly and SAVE NEOPIA!

Prizes: future access to TDN's new department, Sloth-themed headers for BP

Oh dear! People are ATTACKING!! Part 2 of our TDN miniplot is HERE!

[UPDATE] We had a programming glitch that didn't allow you to obtain your codes from the Robots. At 3:15 pm NST today, we reset all of your robot fights (so now you have all defeated 0 robots). Terribly sorry about this! As a little hint, Jerry is telling the truth literally all of the time in part 2 (not so much in part 1...)!

Attention Neopians!

We've had a serious problem with Dr. Sloth on our Battlepedia. Guess what! He's stolen 15 important weapons from our Battlepedia and is planning on using the weapons of mass destruction AGAINST the planet of Neopia! We need you! Head on over the Plot Headquarters by clicking the banner above or by clicking Plot Headquarters. We need you to help solve this mystery!

Haha, good luck with this one, foolish mortals! *sips tea*

Can you stop him?!

Dr. Sloth seems to be making some threats...

He's nuts... or something.

NEW FEATURE! Whenever you are on a search results page, it'll remember your search term in the search box on the right hand navigation. This is very useful for doing multiple searches. ;D Go ahead and try it out.

Yes, you heard us correctly!

WE WANT YOU!

Right now we're hiring for the Battlepedia Content & Reviewer Team, so that means you'd be writing articles and guides for the Battlepedia (such as how to beat certain 1 player challengers, training guides, explaining certain BD concepts), along with writing reviews for weapons (and suggesting alternatives, downgrades, and upgrades to certain weapons). If you're a serious battledomer, please seriously consider becoming a part of our team, because we need you! Plus, you get to work at one of the largest and most famous Neopets sites in existence, which is pretty much awesome too. ;D

To apply, you'll need an account at our forums. Once you've signed up for our TDN Forums, you can view the "Staff Applications" forum and post your application in there. Thanks for your interest. We look forward to receiving YOUR application!

We seemed to be having some problems with weapons that had "reflected" icons. Truth be told, the "reflect" field never showed up on any weapon pages. Talk about a major, stupid programming error. This bug has been squashed and we're continuing to chug away!

Yes, we actually do reflect something!

Applications for reviewers and battle experts shall be opening soon! :)

Even though we have indexed Neopets' weapons pretty good and accurately as possible, there are about 100 weapons still that we don't have any stats on (due to the fact that these items are really rare, new, or not in circulation). In an attempt to index every possible weapon on Neopets, we've created a page that we Need Stats On. Please Contact Us if you own any of those weapons that we don't have stats on!

NO STATS?! What do you mean?! We always have stats.

He's a little mislead. Again, contact us to run some weapon tests. We want to take the weapon, run it through some chemical reactions, smell it, touch it, exfoliate it (err... maybe not), and the like. Just kidding! Anyway, thanks for helping us make this one of the newest and best tools ever released! It's been a major success so far!

EDIT: And for those of you who know how to test weapons, you can do it yourself. Saves us a lot of time. Thanks again!

We've been working on a few things around the Battlepedia and I just wanted to give you all a little update. :)

The first bug that has been fixed is the avatar bug. Whenever you changed your avatar from the default purple avatar to a custom uploaded avatar, it accidentally deleted the default.gif avatar (which needs to be kept on our servers, since it's a universally used avatar). A slight mishap, but all has been fixed!

We have about 100 weapons in our database that don't have stats to them. These weapons (before) were unmarked and just had a bunch of blank info on the in-depth weapon pages. No longer this is! Whenever there is a weapon that is missing stats or has unconfirmed data, you'll see a big red box at the top of the page (such as on Sparkling Acara Shield page). :) Please Contact Us if you'd like to run some weapon tests for us! ;D

Last, but not least, our rating system has been switched to a 10-star rating system. We thought a 5-star rating system would be fair enough, but because there's so many factors and variables to take into account when rating weapons, we've switched it to a more diverse 10-star rating system. Many of our reviews have been updated to reflect this new rating system.

Ten-star rating system: SECURE!

Psstt... we'll be hiring Battlepedia staff here soon! Be on the lookout!

*checks admin panel stats* o0o0. We just hit 100 tdnAccounts!

Hooray, more stuff.

Under 'The Daily Neopets Network' on the forums you will see the new forum for the Battledome and Battlepedia. Feel free to talk about anything Battledome-related or BP related. We also have a subforum for testing if you found icons for a new weapon.

Just remember to follow all rules of the forum when you are there. And if you haven't joined the forums yet, do it now! :)

Thanks,
TDN Staff

Whooohoo! It's finally here!

I'd just like to personally welcome everybody to The Daily Neopets' newest and greatest feature: The Daily Neopets Battlepedia (will be commonly referred to as tdnBP). We have information on 2500 weapons, faerie abilities, one player challengers, defenders of Neopia, and more! We're your new and updated resource for everything battledome-related!

With the Battlepedia, a new feature called tdnAccounts has also been implemented. From here on out, every new department or feature we release (that will need to store some type of user information) will use your tdnAccount. Your tdnAccount will be a universal type-thing, but right now tdnAccounts only work with the tdnBP (since that's the only feature so far that's had a use for tdnAccounts).

Since this is a new department, expect some things NOT to work. Please report every single error and out-of-date thing you may see through the tdnBP ticket system (just click "Contact Us" on the right navigation). Help us keep our estimated prices and content up-to-date! Thanks!

Again, welcome! Go ahead and sign up for a tdnAccount now, log in, and click around (right now the only user-related feature is wishlists, which eventually will be made more interactive). Please note that you do not have to have a tdnAccount to view our information, it's just an option. ;)

Battle on!
~ Ian
