I can't seem to defeat Bolt and Thunder no matter what I do. Now I'm poor and wont be able to feed my pets much longer, which wont help me any. I have 2 pets level 20 with accessory's and stuff and have 2 pet slots so i can battle with both of them, so ya I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can't even buy experience orbs anymore because i'm so poor. Anyone wanna help me please?

My suggestion is that you read this: http://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=2280

It's a guide to making gold. Through missions alone I make about 100k a day, but I do realize you don't have access to the Lv. 50 missions. Start building up a set of mission pets, with stats completely concentrated in one thing, and you can start making sweet dollas.

There are plenty of guides that can help you with missions, statting your pets, etc. I suggest you go and give them a quick read. :D

The other great thing about missions is they give you lots of potions which will help to keep you alive during battle as well. Good luck!

Sorry if I jump in with an unrelated question - how do I use potions in battle? I've got some in my inventory, and not all of them say that they're not for use in battle, so I would guess that the rest of them are, but I can't figure out how to take them? :(

Thank you all and I would like to know that too, the potion in the bag thing.

You can use potions in battle by clicking on the red arrow in the lower right hand corner, or hitting the letter p.
