Hint Area Specialise Books

I have many ideas for the blog. But my hunch is that I will not have the time to produce something half as good as I wanted it to be. Nonetheless, nothing is going to surface without a try. Recently Nobody told me peeking is a good way to hunt for a Spec Book. At the very least, it reduces the need to kill so many mobs and save us a tremendous amount of time and effort. So I learn the Book of Spying and started to do some snooping around today. Surprisingly (with a huge amount of luck), I found the Spec Book that I hinted for within 2 minutes. I am going to jot down which mob I found the book on and this post will be constantly updated. However, it will never be efficient enough based on my own effort. If you are a HOTL3 player, I hope you will contribute your information to help the community. I will need your collective effort to make this post successful and meaningful to old and new players alike.

How to Use a Compatibility Chart like a Pro

First off, I'm sorry for such a shitty quality pic. But I'm in a hurry and honestly, I don't care. The message is more important. According to Cee, when Cee and Dragonspawn fused in Gen 1, she had a shitty fusion and came off with 5 slots. Needless to say she wasn't too happy with it. As a nice person, I naturally felt bad. To be honest, I have no clue how to do a good fusion. I have been going around asking people to fuse me only to be met with remarks like, "Oh no! You. Me. No go!" 

That left me wondering a bit sometimes if I had been a victim of racism. Yeah, I know Smurf isn't really someone you want to have a fusion with. Who wants to inherit blue skin and walk around with a white hat all the time? I understand that perfectly. Over time talking to LJs such as Wrath and a few others about fusion, I realise it could be something else. Something worse. It was the month I was born. I heard that in the glorious past of the ancient HOTL3 days, if you are born in the wrong month (say water month), you would not be even able to find a fuser. So there is some kind of caste system going on huh? As I found out, it was really related to LUCK more than anything. As a newbie, I was drilled intensively by Thor to Help <this> and Help <that>. So this time, I managed to do a Help Compatibility by myself. This is what I've gotten from the ancient scrolls.

 There are attractions and repulsions between the zodiac signs. If

your zodiac sign is compatibile with the current constellation, you

would have better luck. If the person you fuse with is of a zodiac

sign compatible with yours, both of you will have a better FUSION

result. 

To determine compatibility, arrange the 12 zodiac signs on the face

of a clock, ie Aries at 12, Taurus at 1, Gemini at 2, and so on,

forming a circle. Look for your zodiac sign and from there, draw

lines to form a perfect square and a perfect triangle to other zodiac

signs. Those signs which form a triangle with yours are

compatible with you and those which form a square are incompatible.

A chart is available on the website for this.

The explanation is all good except that the chart is NOT available on the website for this. It was a broken link. So I figured out and drew lines across the chart myself and understood. Let's look at it again.

The blue lines forms a perfect triangle for the sign in example, Aries and represents the signs that are compatible with it. Not coincidentally, Aries, Leo and Saggi are all fire signs. However, the ancient decree says every sign on the square is incompatible.  So that makes Capri, Libra, Cancer and Aries (a sign from each element) incompatible with Aries. Since Aries is eliminated, only Leo and Saggi is the optimal fusion choice for Aries. That explains why Cee didn't get her 6 slots. Fortunately, Cee has a powerful ancient artifact that the legendary Tasselhof Burfoot once had in his possession - a time control device. However the curse on the reversal was that she had to start all over again, wasting all her leveling time. I felt sorry for Cee. I will make up to her with some deep fried chicken wings when I finally make it good and have some money in the bank for a change.

Ok. With this chart, you poor noobs like me in future knows exactly what to do to avoid unnecessary misery from fusion. Say thank you to Cee when you see her in the game.

Where to Get Pets

Pets are very important throughout my HOTL3 experience so far. I would go as far as saying, I wouldn't have made it so far without them. So every newbie should know that pets is a very good way to help in tanking and putting in some damage themselves. A higher gen player may scorn the usage of pets but for a 300 HP Gen 1 Smurf when I first started, a pet was indispensable. 

This post will be updated again when I have more information. These will not be easy to find because I only found them by chance. At the moment, I am looking for a level 30 pet because as you can see, the gap between wolf (level 25) and super flying cloud (level 35) is a good 10 levels. I found that I struggle a bit as a low gen player because of the gap. 

Regrettably, I didn't put in enough effort to compile the interesting traits of pets. Such as a Horse can do a cyclone kick, a  Green Dragon can do a bard-like Dragon song and the Super Flying Cloud sometimes wander off by itself to another room etc. Perhaps I will do that in future. So this may be work-in-progress for now.

If anyone has any information about pets I couldn't find, please let me know where and I'll go have a look. In the mean time, these are what I have for you.

Race Information

Yes, I know we can get almost all these information in-game and from the main website (hotl3.com). As a noob, I want to have everything I want to know in a chart instead of clicking here and there to check out a race one at a time. Otherwise, how can a noob be informed enough to select a race that fits what they want to create in their minds? There is nothing more painful than walking about in Canterbury with a painstakingly leveled 20+ character only to find out from another player there is a more suitable race for your ideal class type. Barring the Spec Races, I tried my best to put in everything else as accurate as I can. Please correct me if there are any mistakes or fill me in if you have the access to the information that I don't.
