Dang man I quit KoL for a while and now I'm so sad that I missed out on the sugar sheet tome, the brickos, scratch & sniff stickers, and so many familiars.

I permed Crimbo Candy and have never regretted it. I only have 31 ascensions, also, so I could totally perm more "useful" skills.

Ladies and dudes, do any of you have an Admiral's hat? Is that a thing we got as a clan? I want to spade it with my hatrack, but I also don't have 400 million meat to buy one with, or use as collateral or whatever.

poo poo son, if that's true a hat rack and aviator's helmet will become more optimal than the disembodied hand + time sword.

I've been messaging people with Admiral's hats and a few of them have hat racks, but like everyone else all their adventures are currently going towards killing skeletons. I guess after the event we'll know one way or another what the Admiral's hat does on a hat rack.

e: After rollover I should have 99 adventures, 104 if the aviator's cap does anything. We'll see in a few hours.

Confirming that I got no bonus adventures for having my hatrack wear an aviator's cap over rollover. Sadface.

Ahaha, all I do to determine what class I want to play next by rolling a D6. (Usually if it ends up on accordion thief I say it was a practice roll and pick something else.)

My donation bugged out or something and I didn't get a Mr. A for it.

Feast of Boris won't be available in Bees Hate You or any future challenge runs. Other holidays will, including Crimbo.

Pilgrim Shield replacement is coming very soon. Something for the campground pumpkin patch / garden is coming sometime late this year. Bandersnatch replacement is coming eventually.

The Fernswarthy's Dungeon revamp will be out in a single digit number of weeks or so.

They are 2/3rds of the way through designing content for the last Sea update. They will probably go back and re-tweak the earlier parts of the Sea when the final update comes out.

Woah woah back the gently caress up, Pilgrim Shield replacement?! But I... I love my pilgrim shield. I never ascend without it, no matter what class I'm doing. :smith:

Well poo poo.

I donated for a Mr. A and the store said I had none (I think I even bought a second, thinking I hadn't completed the transaction.) I had gotten my Mr. A immediately the past few times I donated, so I'm a bit confused. Is this some server lag that happens occasionally when iotm's are released, or something else? I'd really like to put those pretty pictures to use.

It happened to me too, so don't feel too sad. High five iotm-less buddy.

This also appears to be a terrible time to forget your KoL forums password. I tried resetting it several times, then gave up and tried to make a new account. Didn't get any of the automated emails that should have been sent out. Hopefully this means the server was intentionally shut down, and not royally hosed up.

What if the automated emails with your new password are being redirected somewhere else and the whole phishing scam is an elaborate ruse to steal everyone's meat and items? I need to calm down about this.

Maybe a trophy for not using ANY IotM things? But that's just a black moon run, so... I don't know. It really doesn't sound like a trophy conducive path.

The peppermint rhino familiar that's crafted from the IotM gives a significant item drop bonus to candy. It doesn't seem to do anything else at all, but hey, increased candy-related drops in a candy area!

I overestimated. I figured if you get on average 10-12 fudgecules per adventure, I'd need like 10k just to get everything that I thought would be available. Now I'm just stockpiling fudge cubes.

I think you get moved up big time on the needy list by doing this.

So I just hit level 26 and I'm thinking while I'm here I should grab the level 30 trophy for this class and be done with it. However, what's the best way to powerlevel that? Monster level++++ at the shield generator? Farnsworthy's basement? Hobopolis until I cry myself to sleep?

I can get about 70 ML with just crappy gear, plus a ~40 pound sombrero or volley-type, and I figure I can blow a tiny bit of meat on potions. I have little concept of what is or isn't optimal using these numbers.

Aww poo poo son, Can of Rain-Doh item of the month! It's a tradeable can that, when used, will yield:

You acquire an item: empty Rain-Doh can
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh red wings (accessory, +11 Hot Damage Combat Initiative +20%)
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh orange agent (physical combat item for meat)
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh yellow laser gun (ranged, "Successful hit weakens opponent. Super Accurate!")
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh green lantern (off-hand, Maximum MP +20, "Makes Spells Smell Worse")
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh blue balls (cold combat item with a 3 round stun)
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh indigo cup (healing combat item)
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh violet bo (2-hand weapon, +11 Sleaze Damage, Moxie +11)
You acquire an item: Rain-Doh black box (Spooky Putty replacement combat item)

Aside from the can these are tagged as quest items but the can indicates that they will go back inside upon ascension.

Once upon a time I had some extra meat to spend, and I gave myself the choice of a bricko tome or a bricko chick plus some other stuff, and I chose the chick as my primary source of brickos.

I made a terrible mistake.

This path looks fun as heck. I'm going to do as much feasting, yelling, axing, and wenching as I possibly can with my new bro Clancy.

edit: Oh, warning though. At 5 drunkness you get too shitfaced to adventure, you know, since Boris is all about feasting and not boozing.

I'm going for whatever skills seem to level Clancy up. 3 in Shouting, on my way down to 8 in Feasting, and after that probably finish up Feasting because why not. It's probably far from optimal but I can't turn down my first run being a Boris and Clancy adventuring bromance what with the path opening on valentine's day and all.

It's like how people used to think the world was flat, but then figured out it went the whole way around, which supports my theory that Cristobal Colon is a gnomish explorer and that comfy blankets are making a comeback soon.

From the Mr. Card Game kickstarter, "Finally, if the game hits basic funding in the first 10 dozen hours everyone at the Adventurer Level (or higher) will get a 2nd Mr. Accessory card. This means you have one to play with, since it counts as a Mr. Store card, as well as one to redeem later on."

Do we redeem them in the KoL Mr. Store, or is it some wonky card game related mechanic? I don't want to shell out $37 unless I get a thing in KoL too, honestly.

If you're doing hardcore PvP and your "number of adventures spent in the ocean" count is 0, then a couple turns there is okay, but otherwise the ocean is just an unfun place to be in general.
