Moods are for maintaining effects that you can't just get a huge amount of at once, and for automatically removing detrimental effects while auto-adventuring. For example, snowcone effects. I used to use it to maintain my blue tongue when item farming, and it would automatically pop another snowcone whenever it ran out.

Another good trigger I like to use is - 'Whenever I get Beaten Up, use 1 tiny house.' (If you have the skill, Tongue of the Walrus works, too.) That way, if you happen to get beaten up, but you have an effect that heals you after every adventure, Mafia won't gently caress you over by continuing to adventure with reduced stats. Similar triggers for A Little Bit Poisoned, Somewhat Poisoned, and Really Quite Poisoned to use an anti-anti-antidote are useful as well in some areas, such as the Sleazy Back Alley and the Upper Chamber.

This is especially true against the NS, even moreso in hardcore. I just managed to beat her yesterday (29 days into my first NS13 hardcore run) by getting my moxie up to 206 (one[?] point shy of being completely unhittable by her) and spamming saucegeysers and popping MMJs as necessary. I only had to heal once, and I managed to slip my one red pixel potion through her block. (My natural moxie was like 172, and I managed the rest with equipment.)

The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky is (still) a popular farming location: http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Talk:Advanced_Farming There are other, more complex methods, but they're only a bit better than taking a leprechaun to the Castle.

I'm an avid supporter of Fortune Cookies in Bad Moon and I've been looking high and low for a script that can track your countdown to the semi-rare since I inevitably screw it up two or three times every ascension. Could you point me in the direction of the one you use?

I don't really see the point of selling ultra rares. I mean the whole point of farming meat is to get enough cash to buy this stuff in the first place.

So far, all the new Crimbo crap is just rehashes of old Crimbo crap, with a technological slant instead of a spooky one. Is it worth making more than one of anything but the new doll house? (One of everything for collection purposes.) Also, I'm currently level 16 in hardcore, and the elves are kicking my rear end pretty well. Is it worth ascending into softcore to maximize my Crimbo farming? (I was shooting for GMS, but frankly I'm sick of it.)

Well, that is what I thought. I figured that I screwed up somehow by building the gun early when I had leftover parts and likely more to come.

My early experiments with the power 0 1h CBFG didn't do well in Crimbotown but did well elsewhere. When I unequipped it to do another weapon it was still power 0 and a 1h item(melee). once I logged out and logged back in again later in the day suddenly it was a 150 power and a 2h ranged weapon. It also gives stench and hot damage now. What the hell happened when I was logged out?

Is the NPZR better than a fairy or a leprechaun? With a 30lb Lep, level 17 DB with all the gnomish stuff I've got meat at 319.33% (using nirvana) and items at 81% (no concentration). I only go for the +combat when I've got winklered or sinuses for miles.

Is the "look ma, no pants" trophy available again this year if we go pants-less for the New Year? I missed it last time.

Robot Porn posted:

Sair, have you compared NPZR (post-nerf) Castle farming with leprechaun Castle farming? I just assumed the NPZR wasn't worth it anymore, but I never tested it.

Soth posted:

I bought 3 of them expecting it to go up, it seems my speculation was entirely justified.

ahahaha jesus is he actually building in raids and instances?

Soth posted:

Now see, if I was one of the regular posters in the KoL forums, I suppose this is the point where I would be all "WHOAMG JICK TALKED TO ME AWESOME ." I like the comparison Jick makes there though, because those two things are exactly alike right? I mean, after all, we all have that one tat that gives us +15 to all stats right? Or how about that one that gives sublime resistance to spooky when you use it? Or how about that tattoo set that when you equip all of them you get +64 to ML, item drops, and meat drops?

NPZR sucks now, it's all about the Hatrack with an Outrageous sombrero on. Better then a fairy+lep combo.

How much do we need to have accomplished (perm'd skills, Mr. Store items, etc.) in order to participate in Hobopolis? I'd like to try it out once I'm done with my next few ascensions.

Robot Porn posted:

This is a multi-stage "quest" of sorts. Jick has written two endings and which ending we get depends on whether the playerbase killed more penguins or elves. We're on day 2 of this event proper. Crimbo isn't ruined yet.

Idran posted:

They were only nerfed once, as far as I know, so that they no longer give meat after the 10th round of combat. But even then, they very slightly edge out the bonus given by a leprechaun per adventure at the Castle, which is the best place to farm meat for either. It's only an extra 50 meat/adventure or so now according to the KoL Wiki with both at 50 pounds, though. And I don't know for sure, but with an edge that slim, a fairychaun would probably be better than an NPZR if you count the autosell price from the extra items, I bet.

Toffile posted:

MP restored is an interesting factor, but if you're farming, you could easily drop some meat towards a buffbot. NObot would give you Polka/Empathy/Lyric for ~1 meat/turn. Tetsudinata and kolabuff are a bit worse, but still seem to be around 3 meat/turn for the farmer's combo.

Pierre Skink posted:

I just checked and our runs have actually been 7k, 8k, and 8k. We're very casual. I was mostly collecting stanley nickels so I could get cool clothing. And we killed every boss each time.

Also, it appears that I'm only level 23. I'll be 24 by the end of this rollover though I think.

I haven't tried that yet, but transcendent plus the yetis are almost as good as the golden days of meat farming. Wealthy pirates have roughly the same drop rate (look to be a tad lower on the upper end of the scale), and I haven't researched how well the item drops or other adventures in the zones stack up.

Loving Life Partner posted:

So where's the best place to farm these days?

My friend is trying to turn me onto underwater farming, but I gotta spend like 50,000-70,000 (getting fishy, stat potions, MP items, etc) just to adventure there. The Wreck didn't really seem all that great, and I did Reefs of Madness and actually made out fairly well, except I had to depend on big meat drops and tons of time selling them in the mall.

Castle seems pretty crap these days, lots of adventure waste on noncombats and crap items.

I might try madness reefs again, I dunno, I think I cleared 200,000 for one night there.
