Kitty's Guide to SBF: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[Catamount]

A couple more tips/hints (from my own experience):

Going from Fair to Average takes the least amount of exams, and going from Amazing to Inconceivable takes the most exams. (the difference is gradual up to Amazing, and then there is a considerable jump to get to Inc)
Some animals take longer than others to train their stats fully.
Training in Agility first lowers the number of exams it takes to get the other stats to go up (in other words, the other stats go up sooner/faster). The higher agility is, the more pronounced this effect is.
If you put 100 (or whatever number) in the text box and train for more than that, it will still train the animal in whatever you left it at. (I forgot about an animal, and it went up to Inc without being changed when it hit 0)
I started putting 1000 (the most it will let you put) and now I can see how many exams ago I changed it (I always end up changing well before 1000 exams), and that helps me a lot with keeping track of my animals.

Bumpeth.

FYI, I don't really play SBF anymore. My dedication is definitely to VHR. :3 However, this guide is definitely still alive.
