Kingdom of Loathing / Slime tube

« on: October 02, 2010, 03:39:40 pm »

Basically, I just remembered that the slime tube exists

My questions are two-fold. Now that the slime tube isn't new and shiny, is there still a market for stuff from it/is it worth the investment in time finding the people who do still want stuff?

And following up on that, how much would it cost us for my character to get the various items needed to do runs?

My first reaction on remembering about the slime tube was 'Oh I can get that equipment for my char!' but thinking about the fact that slime tube equipment is mostly only useful for doing the slime tube I don't know if it would be worth it or not. Opinions?

Kingdom of Loathing / Never again (until the next time...)

You're entitled to the "Duke of Disco" Trophy, for achieving level 30 as a Disco Bandit

Dear lord this trophy took forever <_<

...I may have gone a bit overboard trying to hurry things along -

Full-Body Tan (1508)

I still can't ascend though because I'm still only midway through eating all the black puddings I need and I'm close to another goal as well :\

I don't think I'll be going for another level 30 trophy for a long time though...

Turns Played (total):   49,126
Turns Played (this run):   31,125

I need to get some more skills permed before I even think of doing so

Kingdom of Loathing / Time trappings

« on: July 03, 2010, 08:30:37 am »

Anyone fancy buying my time trappings off me?

I want to sell them all in one go so I'm not just left with the pants or something but people in trade only seem to want to buy the set for many many millions below mall prices

I decided I'd like to get a v for vivalla mask and this is the only way to afford it

Am I the only one who's pretty disappointed with this months IotM?

Unless I'm missing something it seems both hugely complex, time/resource consuming without any huge benefits that I can see :\

I prefer my items simple and generally useful rather than complex and specific

Kingdom of Loathing / RNG

« on: December 12, 2009, 10:17:58 am »

So I get the trophy for adventuring 100 times in the spooky bathroom with the autoplunger. What should I do next I ask myself? I know! I'll start working towards the trophy for summoning demons!

At this point I notice I only have one of the demon names so I thought I'd try and acquire the others Notice that one of them is obtained in the bathroom, damn I could have been try to get that already :\ so I spend another couple of hundred adventures in the bathroom. Get fed up and go to find the one in the spooky forest. It appears after about 20 adventures. Go back to the spooky bathroom and spend another couple of hundred adventures, still nothing. Get fed up and go to the sea shore, encounter occurs in the first 10 adventures, go to Friars, adventure is the second encounter. Spend about another 500 adventures in the bathroom, still nothing <_<

Godamn I am fed up with the spooky bathroom

This was all inbetween my lucre farming, gender changing (for the trophy honest!) and sand dollar farming so this has been going on for a week or two

Anyone else fed up with the RNG or have any particularly amusing/frustrating encounters they can remember?

Kingdom of Loathing / Suspicious stocking

« on: December 06, 2009, 12:34:28 am »

This months IotM.

I'm pretty tempted to get one. I like the chocobo because it means that its never going to be terrible and hence I don't actually have to swap out for other familiars all the time. Plus the candy it drops is pretty rad.

But then I think I would be pretty much giving up on ever getting the tour guide trophies...

Thoughts on how worthwhile it is?

Kingdom of Loathing / Extinctionist

« on: November 17, 2009, 10:41:31 am »

So trying to get the Extinctionist tropy paid off

You acquire an item: Platinum Yendorian Express Card

I'm tempted to sell it because 40 million meat is more than its effects are worth to me. On the other hand its my very own ultra rare

Announcements & Such
(Find out what's new with the RA here (or what went horribly wrong when stuff breaks :p)

Incorrect bracketing is one of my pet peeves I won't stop noticing it now so could someone change it

Kingdom of Loathing / Brownies

« on: November 08, 2009, 11:51:07 am »

You're entitled to the "Bouquet of Hippies" Trophy, for having eaten 420 herb brownies.

At freaking last

Finally I can go back to eating food which actually gives me stats/adventures

Ideas on which trophy I should go for next? Other than the level 30 one

Kingdom of Loathing / Profit

« on: November 07, 2009, 10:48:54 pm »

11/07/09 10:54:52 <players name> bought 1 (depleted Grimacite hammer) for 500000 Meat.

I bought this along with some other grimacite equipment a while ago on the theory that I had spare cash and the prices would probably only go up plus I could get some use out of them in the mean time. Bought the hammer before I noticed you need plans to actually craft stuff and just dumped it back in the mall at around 200k+ above the base price just so I could easily keep an eye on the prices. Except the other day someone bought it

What are your best tales of glorious or unexpected profit? Failing that, what are your MMG stats I'm +1,262,748 Meat!

Kingdom of Loathing / Moveable Feast

« on: November 03, 2009, 03:41:20 pm »

New IOTM.

...similar to Gals polyp thread really. I can't decide if this item is awesometastic (never having to get pull fam specific equipment for each individual fam again + a short term buff useable on multiple different fams a day) or kinda rubbish (I usually stick to one fam anyway and I'll almost certainly forget to use the buff).

Considering I'm 50/50 on if this is a good item I can't see myself trying to get one. Anyone else care to convince me otherwise or going to take  the plunge themselves?

Kingdom of Loathing / Underworld tree

« on: October 27, 2009, 10:36:11 am »

Has everyone got their underworld tree drops? The spooky bark was only dropping about 1 in every 5-6 adventures for me with +220% item drops so make sure you leave yourself enough turns.

If you run out of turns I have 16 spare spooky barks than you can nab if needs be. I don't actually know if this is a one day event but I thought I'd make the offer anyways

I wanna see whats inside the chest any guesses?
