Ascending
« on: April 05, 2011, 07:53:36 pm »
As you may or may not be aware I did finally get around to ascending...already level 8 again :)

But now I need opinions...should I go for more level 30 trophies and dungeon diving to level my telescope and hobopolis fun (plus I never did get any slime gear)

OR

should I actually just spend a while ascending so I actually have some skills under my belt?

(and before anyone suggests hardcore, I rebel against the idea of getting skills and this leads to my temptation every time I think about doing hardcore to spend 6 hardcore runs getting the 6 level 1 skills permed for that trophy, which just sounds painful so don't put the idea in my head :P)

What do you guys reckon?

How much cash have you got? If not much, then I would suggest just banking on skills for a little while. At the very least, get the level 5 skills and level 15 skills for most of the classes (sauce, pasta, drinks, crafting) to make things go a whole hell of a lot easier.

Then basementing becomes a lot more fun, because you're not sinking about 3 million or more to a single mind-numbing run.

have to agree with tyred on this one :-P i'd ascend myself... but i don't think that i have the patience to run to char through. Especially since one's doing HCOs and BMs (:

So... this is what happens when you go on a cream pie craze and hop on chat :p
[clan]Galeesa: please take those pants off :p
[clan] HamsterishOne: ...really or in game :P
[clan] Galeesa: really
[clan] Galeesa: please take it off
[clan] Chrono64: okay
[clan] Chrono64: I took down the pants, yet it continues...
[clan] Galeesa: hehe
[clan] Galeesa: and he's just mad that he's still pulling cream out his nose :-p
[clan] Chrono64: I thought I got rid beyond the damn pants
[clan] Chrono64: XD
[clan] Chrono64: just wipe it along
[clan] Galeesa: ROFLMFAO!!!
[clan] HamsterishOne: ...I don't want to know why you just yelled out that you'd got 'it' off do I?
[clan] Chrono64: you'll just have sticky hands throughout one adventure

Guess I probably should have said, currently permed skills:

Amphibian Sympathy (P)
Pastamastery (P)
Advanced Saucecrafting (P)
The Way of Sauce (P)
Advanced Cocktailcrafting (P)
Ambidextrous Funkslinging (P)
Superhuman Cocktailcrafting (P)
Transcendent Olfaction (HP)

I'm doing seal clubber at the moment with the intention of perming the one to use weapons in both hands, then probably pasta to perm the level 15 skill

You've got a good set so far. Getting the +MP skill and the +HP skill and the Wisdom of the Tortoise skill will help with the basement tremendously.
