Is the fortune cookie/semi rare counter something that is used by everybody with more brains than me?
In hardcore, and especially Bad Moon, they're very useful. For example, you can get a full Knob Goblin elite suit (for access to +item and +meat drop potions, early cheap MP, and a +5 familiar weight potion), items that give 10 turns of +100 to a stat, some very good low level food and drink, and of course the 10 turns of 200% meat drops for the hills.
Also, one of my favorite item descriptions:

I'm pretty sure the oyster eggs were all going for a few thousand each a few days after oyster egg day last year and right now they're hardly over 100. Did I remember wrong or should I spend my 40,000 on them right now then resell in a week?
I have a suspicion that the +meat ones will sell well.

I thought that on exceptionally rare occasion we might do clan buffs of some form or another. Anyways, whenever I wipe inactives, I whitelist first, so it shouldn't even be an issue.
Sput squandered our precious clan cash buing some stat buffs last crimbo. In general, the clan is oriented towards hardcore, so clan buffs are pretty pointless.

It will not always be worth this much as it's not super rare. Those crazy +ML people eat them up though.
I agree. Running a lot of +level requires a bunch of ascensions, you're better off selling it now and capitalizing on is current rarity.

And lets not forget that without Ambidextrous Funkslinging you're basically throwing away an item that sells for 57k in the mall. Personally, I just do the flier quest while doing other quests such as the junkyard, it goes by fast enough.
If you have entangling noodles (or any other multi-turn stun) you can flyer, then mirror.

War Frat Boy outfit gives 3 shots of tomato schnapps.
War Hippy outfit gives you a "Steal This Candy".
Bounty Hunter rig gives you a Chocolate Filthy Lucre.

Edit: Steal this Candy effect is Revolution in your Mouth (-10% Moxie)
Chocolate Filthy Lucre effect is Gelded (lol) (+5 Monster level)

Edit 2: Man did they gently caress up their forums.

You know you're gonna need a ! potion for the gate, and you pretty much need the zappy wand, so I usually test out the potions the day I get them. Go ahead and get drunk first, then test them.

Also, sorry I haven't been around in a while, I was busy/moving/burned out.

Honestly, if somebody offered me even just a hundred dollars for that meat, which is just half its Mr. Accessory price, I'd accept it without a second thought, and go on my merry way striving for my original goal. I just have no use for all this meat.

Buy the following:
Tome of Snowcone Summoning - 42M
Libram of Candy Heart Summoning - 6M
Plastic Pumpkin Bucket - 4.5M
Unemployed Hunchback Minion (2x Mr. A) - 8.5M

That's over 60M right there, I'm sure some other folks can give you advice on what else to buy.

If you can't one-shot or stun the hobos, they're going to give you trouble.

As far as early farming/meat acquisition, i recommend that players learn about semi rares. The irradiated pet snacks are selling for 35k, and the lunchbox and cyclops eyedrops both sell for 23k. Farming just these and nothing else will bring you almost 1 million per month.

So, how do I abuse the coming Halloween to get tons of sweet meat and/or items?

Without glorious hobo gear, it's looking like a toss-up between farming for scaling encounters to get one-shot items for food/drinks or spending the next couple of days getting a duct tape outfit and hoarding Angry Farmer's Wife candy (+5 Moxie and sleaze damage for 10 turns each).

Is it even worth really paying attention to?

It's a tough call this time, because there are several new outfits with unknown trick-or-treat rewards. As far as existing outfits go, the bounty hunter outfit gives chocolate filty lucre, currently selling for 7k each. However, you can probably expect a lot of people getting that. For easy to get outfits, the hippy one can give you herb brownies, which are currently selling for about 1.5k.

The current ongoing event might tie into halloween as well. :iiam:

If its farming spice melange, that doesn't work. There are a lot of things the he-boulder can't get to drop with the yellow beam. Tiny cysts and hobopolis items also don't seem to drop with the yellow beam. Also, without an item drop familiar, I can't quite overcome the -200% item drop from the deep parts of the sea to get items to drop there.

So as you can see, I have been trying to find something good to do with it without much success.

Everything that is a "conditional" drop will not drop with the yellow beam. Conditionals include anything with a <1% drop rate, shirts, pickpocket only items, anything in the sea, anything in the hobo town square, anything other than food/drink from slimes.

Is there anything good in the new underwater zone that opened up a week or so ago?

there's an underwater fairy and an underwater leprechaun (grouper fangirl, urchin roe). they're both very inexpensive in the mall. also, if you complete the quest there on the side of the ice skates, you can get a daily 30 turn buff of "fishy"

However, once done, the zone itself is pretty worthless. I just get the fishy and adventure elsewhere.
