Now that I can run more +item gear on the bosses (upwards of 300%), we'll probably get more out of the bosses, and therefore the costs can be neutralized slightly.

Now, once I get Tyred_Soul out of the BM loop, I will be getting through some softcore runs for some relaxation, and in doing so, I will be able to craft and smith and do whatever else for the sewer items. These we can sell for the clan in the mall to recoup some of our losses. The craftable things sell quite well, especially to clans that are all about the speed runs and need each item to pass the tests.

That being said, I also try and get the 10k stuff from each zone if possible.

1. I hate these items on the basis that Tyred in Bad Moon could not get it.

2. I have yet to carve mine on El Juan because of the implications there may be. The staff is not significantly better than any chefstaff, and while the +10 to mainstat is nice, it is only usable AFTER you've hit level 13. Therefore, it is not usable in hardcore, and in softcore, the only use is if you are making a powerlevelling run, in which case it is fantastic.

GPH, the moxie one is a great help, I can almost guarantee. If you plan on doing more level 30 runs, though, its a crapshoot. You might as well buy one of each at that point.

I first saw this thing and thought it was completely and totally awesome.

After having thought about it, I have parred back my original assessment. It looks like a cool item, but I don't know if it would be worthwhile to have. GPH makes some good points about it's functionality, and you never would have to worry about familiar specific stuff again, but I don't know. My enthusiasm has waned.

That being said, I've only ever donated to the game three times in total. One for my Penguin (don't ever leave me), one for the Flaming Ice Ball thing, and once for the Navel Ring of Navel Gazing that now sits on El Juan and is worth more than I could ever hope to be... So, in essence, I won't be shelling out for this one.

There may be some use for it later, but given that I can pretty much kill anything in one hit or dodge sufficiently in softcore, I'll never need the damage. And I'll probably have enough buffs going on my familiars that using this thing won't help me too incredibly much.

All in all, I'm 50/50 on it too. If I donated more, I might spring for it, but I don't, and my cash is not high enough to purchase one of these things straight out yet.

El Juan is always ready for a Hobo run. If we aren't going for speed, that's probably best. I don't think we have nearly the capacity to do a quick run yet.

Also, Gal, the +720 ML slime damage is based on your total HP, and is always a percentage of that. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much you level, you will always be burning through Hp restorers. That's why it was going to be really tough through all that crap.

Anyway, let me know what will be going down, I've got turns to burn too!

Good call on that one, GPH. I might not have even noticed that one. I did a fair amount of killing stuff with El Juan, but Bad Moon me will probably hold off on stuff that will otherwise kill me too quickly. Either way, I'm sure to have plenty of spooky bark sitting around before this is all over.

Well, shoot. I can't remember when it was we had a working forum last, so I don't remember where I left off. I'll start from the relative beginning of May of last year:

I graduated from college
I got a job
I moved up closer to the city (Indianapolis)
My wife and I got a pair of kittens
I decided apartment living wasn't for me, so I bought a house

And... That's really the gist of it. I still get online occasionally to play KoL and sometimes GC. I lurk around more often than I post anymore here.

Hobbies-wise, I am not doing a whole lot. Trying to just keep up with daily life and having fun with a secret kind of night life. It's not too bad, about the pace I was expecting for me around now.

X is usually 2,000, but I'm not going to stifle anyone to that particular marker. Also, ha, I beat you to it.
