help? my basement is full of rats. i go down there to smash em with my Cold Iron Warhammer (in case any are faeblooded) and the stench is unbearable but i don't seem to have leveled up yet. i havent noticed any new spell like abilities manifest and my hitpoint total is still woefully low. ive dug through the corpses and theyre not dropping any coins either so i can't even pay for training? what gives.

Heather Papps: hello friend

i don't think you clicked autolevel. on the bright side you're gonna be sitting on a bunch of unspent exp and will likely jump from lvl 1 to somewhere around 7?

sometimes he wont show up until the next day if you spend too long on the previous parts (like the toilet training, gently caress that)

ah poo poo i forgot you can't even access options till you leave the tutorial. i'm at the fighting bats in the attic stage of my quest so sometimes i forget what it's like, to be in the basement, fighting rats with an icehammer, (i'm fighting bats with a firedagger)

You need to visit the High Council of your Order, who will certify your advancement. You remembered to have your experience transcripts notarized by your quest-giver, right?

you can only level up after a Long Rest. if you are not leveled up after Resting, you did not Rest Long enough.

Do you have hardcore turned on? Once you start with that option you can't turn it off and it converts all your xp gains into prestige points that you can use to build up your next hardcore character. Just go as far as you can on this life and see what sweet upgrades you can start with next time.

If you talk with the rat at the back of the cellar it will give you a quest where you need to get "One (1) Picture of a Penis" but it won't accept the quest as completed unless it's your own, don't do that quest

That's a good idea, every piece of ratskin gear gives a stacking +20% to exp gain from rats.

well since im using a hammer and these are fairly small rats (i live in a smol bean city, no big rats, many predatory birds) there's really not much of the skins left, but i did like y'all said and stacked the rat skins and now the basement is clogged with these overlapping stacks of 64 ratskins. they're clipping through the floor. when they clip through the furnace they're already on fire and it spreads to the other stacks of skins and even Fire Rats, which increases their speed and inflicts Fire Damage when giving/recieving melee attacks

You need to equip a Rat Skewer if you want to gain XP from killing rats. With your hammer equipped you don't get any experience but you do get rat paste for crafting.

Sounds like you might need to work on some other skills. Your Blunt exp is probably capped for this level, so you should get the max bonus once you do level.

fuckfuckfuckfuck i setup a little gladiator ring like you guys said but the other rats started identifying with Ratticus, this badass ratiator whose wife i killed in secret in order to imprison him under my control. anyhow things kinda spiralled out of control and now they're burning down the colliseum with the stacks of burning ratskins i still haven't cleaned up

ive secured a temporary alliance between myself and the hordes of Raticus faithful by marrying my son to the daughter of his second in command. they're both 2 so mostly he picks her up then puts her in his mouth. i have defeated Hantavirus by grinding up and snorting spiders.

okay so as soon as you encounter raccoons abandon all your rat allegiances. they are useless in the midgame.

Tell the racoon emissary "no" three times after you max out their affection though, that way you get the Genji Glove instead of the Gauntlet.

The Gauntlet can be traded though, it might be worth it to play through things naturally.

Glorious Opportunity To Get Rich!!! — We are starting a cat ranch in Lacon with 100,000 cats. Each cat will average 12 kittens a year. The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each. One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day. We figure a daily net profit of over $10,000. Now what shall we feed the cats? We will start a rat farm next door with 1,000,000 rats. The rats breed 12 times faster than the cats. So we will have four rats to feed each day to each cat. Now what shall we feed the rats? We will feed the rats the carcasses of the cats after they have been skinned. Now Get This! We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing!
