"This is a bean burrito which has been made so spicy that it's almost inedible."
Kingdom of Loathing: An Adventurer is You!
[insert longer description here]
the *-in-a-box are knid of complicated to make. YOu need to make a chef skull first which is a smart skull + disembodied brain = braniy skull. brainy skull + chef's hat = chef skull. Then you need to make the box a nothing-in-the-box by adding a spring. Then combine that with the chef's skull and you have a chef-skull-in-the-box which when combined with the oven will give the sought after chef-in-the-box. The bartender=in-the-box is similar, just beer goggles instead of the chef's hat. Beer goggles are made with beer lenses which you get from adventuring in the typical tavern after you clean out the rats. It helps to have the liver-of-steel beforing spending much time in the typical tavern.
KoL Item locator, right near the top of the entree this time.Now excuse me I've got a Bitchin' Meat Car to cruise around in.
This game rules. Okay, the spicy burrito is WAY WAY better than the regular burrito. I wish I could find some hotter peppers to make it insanely spicey!I think I'll go to Baja fresh for dinner now.
I've got a third character - wanted to try a theif type. It's harder to gain levels with her but she's got spices! I'm starting to see why people pay so much for them.
If anyone needs a white picket fence or a scarecrow for their campsite let me know. I've not stuck em in the clan bin because I don't know if anyone needs em.
The jabanero peppers are in the hermitage -- this means you need the hermit permit and the worthless gewgaw (or trinket), which can be kind of expensive, both turnwise and monetarily.
If you're mining the sewer and you're happy with spices or trinkets, your odds increase somewhat, i guess.
What are they for exactly? Do you need them if you're not planning on smashing the hippy stone?
Yeah, that stuff is all for pvp battles, but it is fun to decorate if you have the goods.
are important though. Cottage (bowl of cottage cheese + anticheese) or a house growing kit from the strange leaflet. I heal up 25 hps when I sleep now!
Anyone know what to do with a ten leaf clover does aside from swap it for a big rock?
bartender-in-a-box = (((beer lens + beer lens) + (smart skull + disembodied brain)) + (spring + box)) + cocktail-crafting kitchef-in-a-box = ((chef's hat + (smart skull + disembodied brain)) + (spring + box)) + e-z cook oven
take that clover immediately to the spooky forest and get a bowl of lucky charms. eat the bowl of lucky charms and get a leprechaun hatchling. put the leprechaun hatchling in your familiar-gro terrarium and get a leprechaun. leprechauns get you more meat when you adventure with them.
I want to say there's another place where my clover helped me out unexpectedly, but i can't remember where.
I'm using my bbay gravy fairy right now Pedro. Is the Grue better?
Where do you get the anticheese for the house? I could definitely use that! I've been using otter tongue for quick healing.And Dex you can send me the white picket fence or scarecrow if you want, I'll take any campsite stuff I can get, but I won't be doing PVP battle for a little while yet.
Right now I am trying to figure out the mysterious leaflet, it's got me perplexed, I got a stick, and nowhere to go with it.
The grue is particularly good in the dark -- play the actual zork if you want to find out. He won't fight on full moons -- but is particularly powerful on double new moons.
You must make a torch, grasshopper.
I'll figure it out though.
I'm having trouble with the damn letter, I've got a sword and a stick, I would think I could cut through the hedge with the sword, but that doesn't seem to work, or at least I can't figure out the words to get it to work, and I don't have anything to light the fireplace with the light the stick on fire, and I can't get past the stream, frustration frustration.

"cut hedge," damn you text based gaming section!!
Applied one more character to the clan, clodhopper the Gecko Supervisor. This game, I tell you what.
I just sent you the supplies to make me an asbestos crossbow and a Roll in the Hay for your trouble.
one very lovely asbestoc crossbow, shoot well.
The hermit had ten-leaf clovers over the weekend so I decided to find out which areas have lucky quests and what the rewards are. Note that lucky quests cause you to lose the clover: if you want to adventure in one of these areas without expending the clover, use it in your inventory to disassemble it beforehand.Haunted Pantry & Sleazy Back Alley: A chest full of 100 meat. Whoopy?
Outskirts of Cobb's Knob: A pair of Knob Goblin Uberpants.
Cobb's Knob Kitchens: Knob Kitchen Grab Bag. Turns into random kitchen food when used.
Cobb's Knob Treasury: A dense meat stack.
The Spooky Forest: A bowl of Lucky Charms, which may or may not give a leprechaun hatchling when eaten.
The Hidden Temple: Exercises all three stats instead of just one.
The Casino (money-making game): A big rock. Didn't notice any effect in the other games.
The Sewer: Your choice of any three items you would normally find in the sewer.
The Barrel Full of Barrels, Whitey's Grove, Degrassi Knoll, Fernswarthy's Tower, The Misspelled Cemetary, The "Fun" House, Bat Hole (entryway): No quests as far as I can tell.After that I was all out of clovers. So the Spooky Forest is certainly worth it, Cobb's Knobb Treasury is about a 800 meat profit so that's cool, and the big rock can be used to make a nice weapon early in the game.
Also, I typed the magic word into the leaflet with both my characters and got the stat boosts but no meat. Has this happened to anyone else?
And I think I got the meat.
but not with the other, and I could have used it, so instead I sold 3 hellion cubes for 15,000 meat with Locop and sent some to Lido. :)
Maybe it got changed very recently or something. Oh well, I'll be a farmer of vodka and make millions!
all you have to do is get spices, lots of them, or hellion cubes, or dry noodles (which are easy to get), but you have to burn adventures to get them.Lukas how's your asbestos crossbow? I made some stuff for a random girl today too. Is there any way to smith without using an adventure that anyone knows about?
plus 7 moxie or somesuch. next up i may have you smith me a chrome helmet turtle. anbd then maybe a chrome meat crossbow, but I need to mine some more ore. I don't think there is a way to make smithing turnless (like meat-smith-in-a-box or something).also, hellion cubes can be used to make hell ramen which is some seriously bitchin food. a sauceror has to make the broth (with a scrumptious reagent) and a pastamancer has to then make the ramen, but the result is quite nice.
it is good stuff, it's the best food in the game according to my sources, it boosts every stat and gives adventures, but the components give me meat, which is needed right now.I need to do some ore getting in the mine, and then get some chrome ore too, especially since the chrome equipment is strong and gives extra adventures, bonus.
sauceror seeks seal-clubber and pastamancer for mutually advantageous trade. i, the sauceror Beware of Sausage, will supply components for three portitions of hell ramen. each participant will supply ore and meat stacks as appropriate for equipment of choice. i have already performed the necessary work to produce hell broth, the pastamancer will cook said broth with dry noodles to produce hell ramen, and the seal-clubber will smith each of us an ore-based piece of equipment of our choice. in exchange for this arrangement, each participant will receive a portion of hell ramen and an ore-based weapon.-- Beware of Sausage
I got made meat smitthing abilities. Let me know what I need to do.
let's try again:I've got mad meat smithing abilities. Let me know what I need to do.
when i try to smith my ores with various things, it says "Only a properly trained seal-clubber can smith that" or something like that. i probably have pretty mad meat smithing abilities, too, but i'm not the right class. however, as a well-schooled sauceror, i can whip up scrumptious reagents and their derivative sauces like a mofo.so if you're a seal-clubber, you get to take my and one lucky pastamancer's ores and meat stacks and smith them into gear in exchange for hell ramen which i and the pastamancer will create.
if you're a pastamancer, then you'll get some dry noodles and hell broth from me to make into hell ramen, and you'll give your ores, meat stacks, and big sticks to a lucky seal clubber who will smith them into the gear of your choice. you'll distribute the three finished hell ramens to me, you, and the seal-clubber, one each.
so basically, we each come out of it will one helping of hell ramen and some ore-based weapon. i get a lot of cooking supplies. i could probably make this trade daily.
I am a seal clubber, therefore have the ability to make nice asbestos and chrome objects, which I am slowly doing but finding the dang ores is a pain since they aren't dropped all that much in the mine.
i was thinking about getting a chrome corssbow and a chrome helmet turtle, but it looks like the chrome crossbow doesn't give a moxie bonus, just a turn bonus. so maybe just the chrome helmet turtle...
It's no skin off my back.
now I just need other stuff and an idea of what to make with them.
Do you have the whole mining outfit? You put it on and go to the mine and you mine ore, meat stacks, stuff like that...
i may actually have a complete mining outfit. check the clan stash for missing parts.
who's our resident pastamancer?
well isn't that good to know.
Is a pastamancer. I need a sauceror - I found me a hellion cube or two I could share.
is one of my two characters I should say.
but right now I need a turtle tamer to make me a chrome turtle helmet, any turtle tamers out there? I've got some nice swords I could trade.
there are a couple turtle tamers in the clan. i need a helmet turtle too so i'll contact one of them later. paper umbrellas are for making fancy drinks and I would love to trade for a few.
I've got one named clodhopper who's itchin' for smithin'.
how about them apples?I've now got the debate between the chrome sword 120 power with 3 extra adventures vs. the asbestos sword with 100 power and +7 muscle, decisions decisions. And my goodness I have never found more hot wings in my life as I did trying to clear the copse of the deep fat friars, I think I ate 12 and still have 11, I've got one mystical seal clubber!
Ok so those darn snowmen ninjas kicked my butt fierce today, I need some cold weather gear big time. Alas no more adventures for me today, but tomorrow is another day.
This game is like crack!
They both sound pretty nice. I went with asbestos because I could only find one chrome before the cave-ins got me. :P
nah, you just need an Elemental Saucesphere.
if I knew what that was, you silly saucerors and your saucespheres. oh speaking of saucerors, did you want to do the smith stuff/cook stuff trading game anytime soon?
trade is on!i sent the broth to dex's JuliaBees character, and you should be receiving some ramen and smithee items from her when she gets a chance. what's your seal-clubber name? i'll send my smithee items.
it's a buff that saucerors can use on any character. so far, i've only used it on myself. basically, it gives you the effect of the same name, which lasts for 10 adventures. it wards off some of the damage caused by elementals (fire, cold, spooky, stench, bad spelling, etc).i typically use it in conjunction with Jalapeno Saucesphere and Sauce Contemplation when i'm heading off into dangerous quarters.
but after he does it if we do it again I'll do it with Lido, they are about the same.
I will use them well tomorrow, and I will make chrome staffs, but for now this fool is going home, besides like I sent you Locop is drunk and full he needs some rest.
I sent you two items to smith, as well as a trade offer. PLus I owe you a minor food item or booze for the smithing. Let me know...
since right now I'm full and I eat a lot but don't drink nearly enough. :) I'll get to the smithing.
Or is my browser having trouble?Because right now I can't get to it. Hopefully they didn't pull the plug for me getting on at work, that would not be cool, I'd actually have to do work or something.
Oh, does anyone know what to do with a sunken treasure chest, I have 7 of them and no idea how to open them. I know I can combine it with the pirate pelvis and bones and pirate skull to get a familiar, but it seems like it could be opened too, anyone know?
so you haven't been blocked yet probably.
it's back, and I'm not blocked, both good things, am I an addict? No of course not!!
warning: sometimes when you the 668 scrolls, you will end up with 10 drunkeness. and if you are unlucky like me, that will happen twice in a row. If only i could upgrade my liver-of-steel to liver-of-titanium. At elast my turns will carry over until tomorrow.
I've only ever gotten 10 drunkenness, and being blurry eyed drunk doesn't make for fun adventuring.
Meat, Papayas, Strengthliness, Weakness, etc. It can be good or bad, but I think +10 drunkeness is the worst.
oh well. Now I'm working on getting a pagoda for my campsite. I have gotten a bunch of ten leaf clovers and am searching for good things to get with them, but so far there isn't that much that's good.Oh, and did everyone but me know that when you get the keys to the hall of records on the Big Mountain you can then pay meat to increase your stats? I just jumped a couple moxie points by donating 3000 meat, well one moxie point, but it was a good one.
As you near the howling gates of the Spectral Pickle Factory, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Then the hairs on the neck of your back stand up, and it really freaks you out, since you didn't know your back had a neck. The point is this: you're too scared to go into this Factory.(You must have at least 150 Muscle to adventure here.)
Ah poop. Anyone got a few thousand firecrackers they didn't want? ;)
Any suggestions?At this point all I can do is level up since I've done everything else I can do at level 8. I'll be level 9 in one muscle, but then the jump to 10 is big. Oh well, I'll just have to fight and get lots of food and alcohol and stuff. Maybe I'll waste 50 turns on the hoboflex for a big muscle boost.
a 20-lb volleyball (mine's named Short Round) and the menagerie at Cobb's Knobb seemed to make leveling go quicker. Side trips to the shore also can give you stat boosts, although mostly I adventure for little paper umbrellas there (which I rarely get).
I got lucky and got 12 in a short time, but it was pure luck.But yeah I was having luck in the menagerie, and also killing Yeti's gives great stats and meat, but they are a pain to kill as I have to heal after every fight, but good old 'Tongue of the Walrus' helps.
Which is hit or miss. Mainly because once I walked in with 45 moxie and 58 strength, and walked out with 60 strength and 42 moxie, kind of good kind of not. It's like the tavern, sometimes they give stats sometimes they take, it's a fine line to walk.
I got the stuff for the pagoda but lost a moxie point while I was at it. Oh well, I got a couple of limes while I was at it. Cool.
assorted key lime pies, which is totally kick ass.So, who here has enough stats to get into the pickle factory so we can here just what a pickle does. Apparently it's the new best food in the game and anyone can make it, I can't wait!
so here was my latest KOL conquest. I bought 20 ten leaf clovers from someone for 20K meat and then used them to make 10 drink ticket rolls and got 16 gin bottles, 12 vodka bottles, 21 whiskey bottles, 52 ice cold beers, and 16 ice cold foties, if you add all that up I could sell it for WAY more than 20K meat, good times.All you need is to enter the orcish frat house in disguise with a 10 leaf clover. Sure there are other things I could have done with them, but with them and some adventuring on the shore for umbrellas it's drinking central!
