| Battling, Part 1 | There are a few parts to battles- creating a Battle, joining a Battle, and participating in the battle. In this guide I will explain how to do the first of these: creating a Battle.
Step 1: Go to the Arena section of the P3tz menu area.
Step 2: In the Arena Screen you will see two Categories; Unstarted Battles and Started Battles. In this guide we will be focusing only on Unstarted Battles, so look at that category and in the lower left corner you will see a link that says Create. Click that link.
Step 3: This brings up the 'Create a Battle' Screen. From here you can see two fields and one drop down menu. In this step we will focus on the first field..'Battle Title.' Pretty straight foward...enter a title for your battle, this will be what it is called when other members look at it to decide if they would like to join or not.
Step 4: From the drop down menu select a battle-ground. At this time there is only 1- 'Arena'
Step 5: Now fill in the amount of Contenders in the final field. You can choose between 2 and 8. This is how many p3tz will be fighting in this battle.
Step 6: Hit submit. This is the final step, once you do this you will be taken back to the Arena and you should see your battle listed in the Unstarted Battles category. You can also choose to join this battle now if you choose to (this will cost 100 points)

In Battles, Part I, I talked about how to create a battle...that was boring...in this guide we will talk about how to actually FIGHT in a battle.
Step 1: Just like in Part I, we are going to go to the Arena section of the P3tz menu area.
Step 2: If you do not see any Unstarted Battles you will need to create one by following the steps in Part I of this guide. If there is already 1 or more that are unstarted you will pick one of them, and click the link that says 'Join'.
Step 3: (visual aid) Once In the battle screen you will see a few things. - -First is the chat window where you can have a chat conversation while you talk...this is straight foward and works pretty much like any instant message system.
-Second is the Duel window. This display Current Round Number, type of battle, date started, a graphics area to display animated battle scenes, and any bets that have been placed on the battle.
-Third comes the Contenders section which shows the current stats of all participants in the Battle and also is where you control your pets.
-Fourth is the battle log which shows a text log of each turn/round and what action/damage was done.
Step 4: (We will ignore all areas of the Battle Screen except the Contenders Area because all the others are for info only.) The first thing you will do is find your Pet, and in the lower section of your info will be a link that says 'Control'...click it.
Step 5: If it is your turn there will be a few options to make, you can either leave the battle or attack. If you wish to leave you will just click the link that says forfeit battle. If you wish to fight you will select the option to attack from the first drop down box, and the p3t you are attacking from the second drop down menu. Once you have done this hit the button next to the drop down to perform the action you selected. Once this is done, the log will populate with the results, and it will be the next person's turn.
Step 6: Wait for an opponent to take their turn. This could take a day or two depending on how often your opponent checks the site. It could also take 30 seconds if he/she is currently viewing the fight since all actions are automatically updated on the screen thanks to AJAX technology.
Step 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 until either you die, kill the other person's p3t, or decide to forfeit the match. If you decide to forfeit...you will do so during your turn in step 5. Congratz, you now know how to BATTLE!
Some info for you:
-If you reach 0 health, your pet WILL die, and you won't be able to use or care for it anymore unless you pay the 1500 point resurrection fee from the graveyard.
-You will earn experience after each attack. This is based on your level versus the opponent's level. If you get 100% exp, you will gain a new level.

If you are short on points and willing to take chance to get some more you can go to the casino and gamble on current battles.
Step 1: Go to the casino.
Step 2: Buy a betting slip. This is a link to the lower left of the 'Gambling Slips' Category.
Step 3: Choose a battle. You will be able to pick a battle from the drop down list. You can't bet on battles you are taking part in.
Step 4: Choose your pick. You can now choose a p3t from the active participants drop down. As long as all the contender slots are full you can bet on a battle regardless of what round the battle is in.
Step 5: Wait...now you just have to wait for the battle to end and hope you were right about the pick.
Step 6: End of Battle: Once a battle is over you will need to go back to the casino. If you made the wrong pick, you will see no active tickets for you, your points are gone so go to your room and have yourself a nice cry. But if you were right, you can claim your ticket (it's a little link to the right that says 'Claim Slip'...go figure...) Depending on the odds that were shown for the p3t you picked you will get back a certain multiple of your money. Minus Tax.
Good luck and happy gambling! | | | |
