Re Beastkeeper: Yeah, I loved how it looks, but it wasn't very active, and just wasn't enough to keep my interest, but I wish it had. One of the few sites with HORSES that didn't focus around competition, where the horses looked 'realistic' (it had others as well)
Re Sylestia: Technically you don't need max stat or super stat. I made it all the way to the lost grove using my starter pet, a pet I bought (just random pet) and a pet I was gifted, which I think is not max stat (pretty sure). I have made it to the caverns and fought some of those creatures, but yeah, it is a LOT of repeated grinding to move anywhere in that partcular area.
It is EASIER, yeah, but honestly, not by a whole lot, which is why I do like sylestia. Krinadon, the owner/coder, does seem to make sure that the bosses are beatable by regular pets, though you DO need specific armor.
However, you don't need to win in the arena to get the best equipment, as that is actually found in the LG, but for level 60+. I have fought in the arena twice, and I think both times my pet got its tail handed to it.
However, some of the bosses require specific strategies and you do need the best equipment you can get, which by the time you are in the LG is from the LG, but you need to be able to upgrade it (which I can't yet) which is expensive, requires lots of grinding, and specific stuff.
But, anyway, if you want help, let Jemadar over there know, or post in region chat, there are some people in there who have battle strategies for various bosses, and are usually willing to help out.
Late reply, but thank you for the encouragement. I've been studying the guides more carefully and paying more attention to what I'm doing and it's working out better!
I am glad, though be careful with the guides, I noticed that some of them were out of date, so if something is confusing, dont' hesitate to ask, either me directly (Jemadar) or in chat if you are far enough along to have region chat.
Much appreciated! And I'll be careful, I noticed when paging through the guides forum that there have been very big updates over the years, they really aren't afraid to do what it takes to make the game fair and balanced. I really like that!
Yeah, there have been some huge updates, and the level cap was just recently raised.
That is why some of the guides are so out of date, is because Krin is actively trying to balance things and sometimes that means changing how much you get for certain battles, and how hard certain battles are. The people who did the guides are past that point, and either have left sylestia or can't go back and 'replay' that specific area to find out how things have changed.
I am on a mini-hiatus right now from it. I check in every day, and I *want* to do the events, but just can't find the energy to concentrate on them.

Good luck though!
