It would help if you told us where you're training. But anyways, from my experience, I usually use around 850-1000 Barbs at newties.

I doubt your new equips will make a significant difference in your pot usage because pot consumption is also relying on how well you can use your archer. But like I said, it's difficult to tell without knowing what you're training on.

Im pretty sure he's refering to pirates (as AE first builds cant go newties).

If it helps, when I was 83, I used 200 pizzas and 20-30 barbs in 1 hour, meaning in 4 hours, I'd use 800 pizzas and roughly 100 barbs.

800 x 900 = 72,000
100 x 1500 = 150,000

150,000 + 72,000 = 222,000 hp healed(I think...someone check my math D

You're using 850 barbs, which would be

850 x 1500 = 1,275,000 hp healed.

If anything, your pot costs wont go down because you kill faster with better equips, your pot costs will go down because of the 150 wep def from the z-helm. Imagine taking 100 less damage each time you run into or get hit by the physical attack of the pirates. I would further cut down on the damage by using grilled cheese (+20 wep def? or was it 30?). I took A LOT less damage per hit than you so perhaps that would be the reason for the lower pot consumption.

Another factor might be jump AE/ARing. Can you do it? I was often able to avoid many of the pirate's attacks by jump ARinig away from it, so I'd still be hitting monsters, but Im not taking damage. That'll probably help cut down pot costs as well.

Hope that helps.

Off topci: Hi Apollo. I ran into you in game on Kevin's bow master earlier xD
