What tiles do you guys like to fill up on the bonus board?

When I first started, I was all about filling it with exp blocks. A blindside with Edge usually netted these easily.

Then I came across the SP block. It was kind of hard to get at first, but now I've got the timing right and can max it out easily. It takes a little longer than others to max out though. This is the tile I love the most. It makes maxing out skills and inventing items easy.

The fol blocks I curse to living hell when they land. They are lock cock blockers. Take up space with thier uselessness. They are so easy to mistakenly get. Kill 2 enemies at once.

When I first started I hated the hp/mp blocks just as much as the fol blocks. I've grown to love the hp/mp though. They are really helpful if you cast alot and save you from always using berries. I try to have at least 2 of these at all times. These are also easy to mistakenly get. Kill an enemy with a special.

So for right now the perfect mix for me is between 2-6 hp/mp blocks and max out the rest with SP blocks.

I try to concentrate on filling my board up with what I want first before going crazy on the battlefield. Once I get the board to my liking it's hard for me to turn off my 360. I don't want to lose my board. It also pains me when I need to reload an old save to max out monster data for bosses.

Now you know why 108 hours can easily be attained. Maintaining a perfect board is time consuming.

I'm not scared. My room is like a freezer. My core is still alive, but the DVD drive is dead from Fable 2. NXE came a week too late to save it with HDD install. My Elite should be ok. The combination of close to zero degrees temp and HDD install should help.

The lack of over the top graphics helps the game from long load times, even withou HDD install.
